1. Doomsayer
You cast your hand, let the bones spin
they spell death, the world is soon to end
never mind that it's only for you
You want company when you meet your doom
Inner gaze sees the mist inside the ball
fragile walls of your sanity soon to fall
try to seize someone in your grasp
Don't want to be alone when you breathe your last
Fear of this evil world that is only here to cause you pain
Makes you spread your words of doom, you are hope's bane
Just what do you hope to gain
Doomsayer
Deal the cards, three crosses and one
The Tower shows, you say the time has come
The reaper grins his stare at you
the time has come for you alone, you fool
Fear of this evil world that is only here to cause you pain
Makes you spread your words of doom, you are hope's bane
Just what do you hope to gain
Doomsayer
Fear of this evil world that is only here to cause you pain
Makes you spread your words of doom, you are hope's bane
Just what do you hope to gain
Doomsayer
2. Wanderlust
Startled awake, midway through life
Cowering from terrible cries
Surrounded by blackness, I could not find my way
In the dark of this evil dawn
I see a light, it draws me on
But my terrors and fear turn me away
Behind me I see a shade of a man
"My name is Virgil, please take my hand
Put your trust in me, I shall lead you to your goal."
And you Muses, sisters of three
I beg you listen I call unto thee
Hear me - give me words to speak my tale
As we pass through the black pit of hell
Screams rise from the depths, giving me chill
Tears fill my stinging, burning eyes
I cannot watch what I'm forced to face
Souls damned here for fleshly vice
Screaming, flitting tortured through the skies
And through the pit of hell we go
Pity builds and tears do flow
What horrors await I do not know
We pass into the rings of Dis
Realms of greed and violence
They even steal and kill in death
We pass through Woods of the Suicides
Their looks of sorrow make me cry
I whimper and faint, short of breath
And through the pit of hell we go
Terror builds and tears do flow
What horrors await I do not know
We pass from fire to snow and frost
Where plains of traitors pay their cost
Sins that place them near their evil lord
Towering above, faces of three
Chewing on the triad with evil glee
Shedding crimson tears of blood and scorn
And by the master of hell we go
Pity builds and tears do flow
What joy awaits I do not know

3. Doom Metal
Darkness falls upon me swallows me whole
Curtains black as night swallow my soul
Suicide is chasing, death waits at my side
Fear and emptiness tear my heart wide
Open
Doom Metal
Night is falling on me now
Alone and betrayed, shattered by life
Consumed by pain, anger, bitterness, and strife
There's no release from this nightmare
The gods of fate have wrecked my life
They never play fair
They never play fair
Doom Metal
Night is falling on me now
Ego trip for me
Turn my life inside out
Give up
End it all
Go out with a bang, not a whimper
Where's my gun?

4. Whitechapel
INTRODUCTION
Eight little whores, with no hope of heaven,
Gladstone may save one, then there'll be seven.
Seven little whores beggin for a shilling,
One stays in Henage Court, then there's a killing.
Six little whores, glad to be alive,
One sidles up to Jack, then there are five.
Four and whore rhyme aright,
So do three and me,
I'll set the town alight
Ere there are two.
Two little whores, shivering with fright,
Seek a cosy doorway in the middle of the night.
Jack's knife flashes, then there's but one,
And the last one's the ripest for Jack's idea of fun.
POLLY
The bitch was in the street
Selling herself, for doss and a drink
Pathetic whore, pathetic life
Be a favor to end it all and make her famous
Stepped up to her side, with a slice of my razor knife
Her neck bled until dead The streets flowed with red
Stabbed the cunt gave her the fucking she always wanted
Then, to the dark I hide...
ANNIE
The bitch was in the road, by number 29
Just begging for Jack's fucking
I stepped to her side, asked her for a ride
She said "I know a place", and led me inside
Her throat parted and spurted red, without a sound
I laid the bitch back on the cold and filthy ground
Cut out the cunt, she won't need it longer
Ripped her guts, threw them over her shoulder
Her pathetic trinkets arrayed so nicely
round her dainty little feet
That will walk the streets no more
Then, to the dark I hide...
DOUBLE EVENT
Long Liz strides like she wants a fuck so bad
Jack'll be the best the bitch has ever had
Lead her down the alley, here's your twopence, bitch
Then my knife made her blood fill the dirty ditch
Laid her down, about to fuck, a sound from up ahead
"Fuck off Lipski, can't you see I'm busy here?"
He runs, I run, Lizzie got off easy
But now I've got to scour the town to find another piece...
Mitre square, quarter to one, Cathy's looking fine
A flash of blade, a gurgled grunt, she bleeds her red red wine
Leave the ears, they won't come off, the nose another story
Cut out the cunt, gut the cunt, make it extra gory
The kidney's tasty she needs it not I'll have a little snack
No need to flip her I'll just cut the bitch straight from front to back
Now a little misdirection, teach those silly pigs a lesson
"The Jews are not the men who will be blamed for nothing"
(interlude)
MARY
She is so beautiful, I want to fuck her so bad
To be the best the bitch has ever had
But I see the room where she lays her head
So nice and private, our little love nest
I follow her back, and watch her lay down
Knock out the rag, unlatch the door, and come inside
And I fucked her
and fucked her
and fucked her
and fucked her
until my love had ripped the bitch apart
spread eagled on the bed, spread about the room
tits on the dresser, guts on the floor
face on the bed, skin on the wall
But her pretty little heart
now belongs to me
it all belongs to me....

5. Cursed With Existence/Monolith...
Existence is Life, and Life is Pain
Pursued by suffering from cradle to grave
Happiness teases as it baits the snare
What good are drops of joy in oceans of despair
Through suffering without end
Futility to try again
Hope is like the Siren's call
Bring those who seek to deadly fall
Never to feel
Never to live
Never to love
Only to die in pain
Death, the gate to the other side
Only there is nothing to find
No afterlife, no existence at all
What will become of ME when I am gone?
Never to feel
Never to think
Never to live
Only to know that I will never be again
And on my monolith
to the past I left behind:
"I curse life for the joys that tease
I curse death for the peace I'll never find..."
I don't want to live
I don't want to die
I want to never have been at all
(Commentary - http://lord-vic.livejournal.com/7228.html)
6. Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener (Black Sabbath cover)
Long ago I wandered through my mind
In the land of fairy tales and stories
Lost in happiness I had no fears
Innocence and love was all I knew
Was it illusion?
Soon the days went passing into years
Happiness just didn't come so easy
Life was born of fairy tales and daydreams
Innocence was just another word
Was it illusion?
Lost in the wheels of confusion
Running through furnace of tears
Eyes full of angered illusion
Hiding in everyday fears
So I found that life is just a game
But, you know, there's never been a winner
Try your hardest, just to be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Yeah, when you're gone!
