1. Sister Cybele
Time has slipped away
Your life is stolen
I see you wrestle with your dreams
Heavens stand open
And scatter their riches
My hands need but gather their wealth
Love's arms beckon
With their naked delight
And Eden's promise of ecstasy
Scars are remembered
Of old transgressions
As in some hateful dream
Sister cybele the time that you spent
And halls of worthless women
You shalt desire
Respire the deadliest fume
At last to lie within
Your hidden virtues
The vilest worms crawl vampires gloom
Sister cybele the time that you spent
Saving your secrets reserving your sense
There should be a science of discontent, hard times
and oppression to develop a psychic muscle
Sister of many remembered by few
Sister cybele the time that you spent
Saving your secrets reserving your sense
2. The Last Prophet
Can't cope the psychic pain
I'm wasting away
Fear grips my second sight
The season of change
My wisdom was for sale
To sell was my greed
Knowing the hours past
Are the last for me
Prophet of prediction tell
What the future will hold
The distant chimes of judgement bells
Before the sun explodes
Clouds send a desert rain
Steaming off the hands
Man has no chance to die
By our brothers hand
I know my sense is right
I prayed it was wrong
Should I speak of what I've seen ?
Or let it be gone
Prophet of prediction tell
What the future will hold
The distant chimes of judgement bells
Before the sun explodes
Walking away from things I've seen
My mind has played tricks on me
Death comes to all so then should I say
Just useless words won't stop that day
I feel a passinf calm
Wash over my face
I told them peace would be found
Among every race
Amidst the celebration
A sweat breaks my brow
My gift was just a curse
A flash melts the ground
Prophet of prediction tell
What the future will hold
The distant chimes of judgement bells
Before the sun explodes
3. Old World Nites
After dusk the echoes of lost agonies
The stench of death drifting through the lanes
Ungodly voices in writhing misery
Faceless presence with eyes insane
Starlight the blood of souls invade
Twilight the living dead are searching
Now the restless are in pain
Midnight falls in shadows of new burials
The crumbled earth pushed slowly to the side
A corpse enslaved in its own tragedy
Darkest death in the hour undenied
Starlight the blood of souls invade
Twilight the living dead are searching
Now the restless are in pain
The woods alive with the sound of the pipers song
The soulless grave of a tortured borly nun
Sacred grounds in eternal damnation
The mist of this walking death
Ashes in the morning sun
Damnation
Now my soul is alive in your self
Silent and bright old world nights
4. Evilution
Rising from the womb of the sea
Lifts his eyes to the sun
Wonders where he's going to be
I am man, I've just begun
Planning choices of survival
Killing beasts to ease his fast
This animal walks on his two legs
The one to stand at last
Learning from the days passing by
Fills his head with a plan
Dreams of grace within his world
And things he don't understand
Across the plains he sees his image
Gazing at a stone
Time will tell if it's his way
Something's calling him home
He finds the night darkness and light
The breath of salvation
The mystics call stronger than all
He runs to his destination
A new world is living
A new day's beginning
He feels the cold his life unfolds
His body is trembling
He walks alone without a home
There are no thoughts for remembering
Standing in a realm of silence
Singled out to rule supreme
Madness in his eyes of red
His mind has touched the evil seed
Turns his thoughts to the magic
Building strength from what he's chose
A god on earth in his own mind
A wicked breeze gently blows
He finds the night darkness and light
The breath of salvation
The mystics call stronger than all
He runs to his destination
A new world is living
A new day's beginning
We're all living
5. Trapped
See their eyes see their hate
Feel the stares burn in my head
And they know they're better than you
They criticize your choice of life
Don't realize that they're the ones not right
But you find out in the end
You proved them wrong
We can't return to their wicked ways
A jealous laugh that was meant for you
An understanding smile won't do
They don't know we will be king
Until the time we take control
We'll be trapped inside their world
We will see where we're gonna be
Don't try to tell us what to say
Nowhere to run no place to hide away
We'll crawl up from our knees, we've someting to say
We're calling out, can anyone hear our plea ?
Locked inside a world without a key
We're troubled youth we want your praise
But in return get nothing but disgrace
They're no better than you
We feel the hand of your reprimand
Clench your fist and show them what you found
You got to find out for yourself
What you must do
Cry out for the pain you feel
Nowhere to run no place to hide away
We'll crawl up from our knees, we've someting to say
We're calling out, can anyone hear our plea ?
Locked inside a world without a key
We're all trapped inside, locked away
Buried alive and left to decay
Guilt is stained by the blood
Upon their hands
We must repent, not walk away
Believe all the lies that they have to say
We'll forget all that
You got to take your stand
See their eyes see the hate
Feel the stares burn in your head
And they know they're better than you
They terrorize the roads you run
Don't realize that they are the ones not right
Once you find out in the end
You'll prove them wrong
Cry out for the pain you feel
Nowhere to run no place to hide away
We'll crawl up from our knees, we've someting to say
We're calling out, can anyone hear our plea ?
Locked inside a world without a key
Trapped inside a world without a key
6. Mendes Prey
Caught in the spell of the looking glass
The hooded cloaksmen bring the ravens past
Summon thy lord disciples of Mendes
Save our lamb from the beast now living
A sacrificial feast you're the Mendes prey
Come forth to draw on the living host
The pyramid on a barren coast
Some secret lies at the heart of the stone
Forever lost to a mystical giving
A sacrificial feast you're the Mendes prey
At dawn they die when the lightning cracks
Their flesh it boils in the artifacts
All chanting cease when the sky burns red
The moutain peak explodes with fury
Clouds of doom shall reign upon the Mendes
World of death and sacrifice
One dagger through the heart of innocence
Convicts the power to die forever
7. Tongue Tied
8. Silent Scream (Prelude to Death)
Black mist is the breath of night
Sworn to burn for a demon's right
Toiling with unholy dreams
In the blood of a sacred stream
Visions become reality
Rotting my brain oh god help me
No more will to save my soul
Enchanted under his control
With a silent scream
That no one seems to hear
The pit awaits the fools
As time of death appears
With a silent scream
The angels pass away
No chance to right the wrong
The hour of death today
Summoned to the wizard's cave
Forever now his evil slave
Doomed to plight and misery
Nothing left to set me free
Nightmares of the living damned
Fall into another land
In a grave to blind the sun
Look at what I have become
With a silent scream
That no one seems to hear
The pit awaits the fools
As time of death appears
With a silent scream
The angels pass away
No chance to right the wrong
The hour of death today
Black mist is the breath of night
Sworn to burn for a demon's right
Toiling with unholy dreams
In the blood of a sacred stream
Visions become reality
Rotting my brain oh god help me
No more will to save my soul
Enchanted under his control
As I sit alone
In the darkness of your light
I dream as I child running free
My mind's growing wild
In the shadow of your soul
My eyes had been blind, now they see
Can't you see my silent scream
Calling for you for you
My mind's growing wild
In the shadow of your soul
My eyes had been blind, now they see
Can't you see my silent scream
Calling for you
You are my destiny
Calling for you for you
Silent scream prelude to death
