1. Seasons Unite
The rain falls, the snow storms
The gods unleash their wrath
The summer comes, sunlight swarms
Fairies of magic laugh
The green of leaves forsakes now
To be exchanged with gray
Before the king of winter bow
And begin your wish to say
As autumn falls upon us
And we wait for a sign
Waiting for the cold to pass
Absorb it if we can
To warmth I lust
The swan song of a man
For all you believers
This darkness I make mine
The freeze sends its shivers
Up and down my spine
Seasons unite, shining above my eyes
The heat soon brings desire
Burning my veins like fire
The truth is actually a lie
I watch myself burning higher
Flesh to flesh we bind
Yours is winter and summer is mine
Could this be the end of the line
Or a beginning (that shall) eternally shine
2. Above You All
I stand above you now
Slowly taking your soul
The god of gods, the corruptor
I stand above you all
Hear my never-ending lie
Ride the wind
Control your life
Bringing swiftly
The lord demise
I fight against all fire
I will never tire
I am above all lords
I am the god of gods
Your shell is empty
It will not take a long for you to fall
Seventh is the sacred number
I've now awoken from years of slumber
3. Pits of Despair
Traveling the world
To cure my disease
For years I'm traveling
The seven seas
The blackened
And bleeding sky
They tare off my close demise
The pain it paled me
To the pits of despair
Helpless I'll be
My own heart I tear
My true self spilled out
Death is close no doubt
Forbidden it is for man to kill a man
Because of it I'm god dammed
4. The Beloved's Cry
My heart flies on her wings
Now I'm crying, the moon so red
Tomorrow shall be yet another hell
To the sun, (the) sky's soul is fed
Blows pass me
(I'm) down them I do not feel
Anything except the shadow is real
Why did she do it ? Why did she die ?
How could she leave without saying goodbye ?
She has proven my life to be just a lie
When sea waves crush they hit me hard
But I do not feel them
And then reality is no more real to me
I ask myself, should I end it now
And join her at last ?
I miss the cold embrace of lust
There's nothing left, just a dust
Nothing is left from my dearest love
5. My Requiem
From the arising of the golden sun
To the gloomy shadow of the moon
The wind still whispers
While I'm standing here by myself
I'm waiting for a sign that could lead me
Away to the land of the divine
But when weariness starts to affect,
The eclipse of the sun came to earth
I hide from the sun and try to live
And I know deep in my heart
(That) this is a life that God cannot give
I still carry in my mind
The feeling that I'm blind
I still carry in my mind
The fear that something is behind
Tear, left bare
Rule the whole earth
The dark will rise
I await its birth - To die
I see gray in the sky
And pray for rain
But the sky slowly becomes blue once again
The spirit of God controles my mind
The divine - The unearthly Lord
He left me a sign - He made me a God
I lie in eternal coldness
I'm trying to find
The thing I couldn't find
Nowhere else in my past life
My spirit sours into heaven
I reincarnate into a cold black raven
6. Orphaned Land - The Storm Still Rages Inside...
The rain keeps on falling
Filling the dried land
It drinks the purity of life
(The) land starts to grow
It must be a sign
A message from God's hand
Like tears from the sky
Water begins its flow
Left alone, deserted so long ago
The storm still rages inside
Before the dawn rises I cannot see the light
This land's ground grows weak
Shall we find the path ?
The preacher's words were right
I can't see anyway to (the outer world)
Tears do flow, yet can't conceal
This land is barren, it does not feel
Our self-made slaughter
By our own hands
Here lies the orphaned land...
Suddenly lightning strikes the earth
It marks the sign of my rebirth
Seeds of love from myself evolve
This cannot be living - without (your) safety
The storm still rages inside...
Invisible rays penetrate the ground
This land to die is surely bound
Suffer but doesn't scream
Can this be a hopeless dream ?
