1. Carnival of Souls
C A R N I V A L O F S O U L S
UNTO THE GODS I CALL YOUR NAME
THE CRUCIFIXION OF MY BRAIN
AS I WAIT FOR YOU
INTO THE FIELDS, I'VE LOST MY WAY
I'VE OPENED VEINS JUST FOR THE DAY
AS I WAIT FOR YOU
THE THOUGHTS THAT LINGER IN MY HEAD
THEY CRY OUT FOR THE DEAD
AS THEY WAIT FOR YOU
CALL MY NAME, CALL MY NAME
INTO THE CARNIVAL OF SOULS
SURRENDERED TO THE FIGHT
THEY DANCE UPON THE EDGE
THEY DANCE UPON THE NIGHT
TO WAKE UP IN THE DARK
AND FIND THEY'VE LOST THEIR WAY
THEIR WAY BACK TO THE DOOR
THEIR WAY BACK TO THE LIGHT
I'VE OPENED DOORS, I'VE OPENED MINDS
I'VE OPENED YOURS A THOUSAND TIMES
AS I WAIT FOR YOU
I'VE FOUGHT THE BATTLE FROM THE START
I'VE OPENED SORES INSIDE MY HEART
IT BLEEDS WITHOUT REMORSE
THE THOUGHTS THAT LINGER IN MY HEAD
THEY CRY OUT FOR THE DEAD
AS THEY WAIT FOR YOU
CALL MY NAME, CALL MY NAME
INTO THE CARNIVAL OF SOULS
SURRENDERED TO THE FIGHT
THEY DANCE UPON THE EDGE
THEY DANCE UPON THE NIGHT
TO WAKE UP IN THE DARK
AND FIND THEY'VE LOST THEIR WAY
THEIR WAY BACK TO THE DOOR
THEIR WAY BACK TO THE LIGHT

2. Streams
S T R E A M S
IT'S THE LIGHT THAT SURROUNDS YOU
THE LIGHT THAT COMMANDS YOU TO FIGHT
FIGHT TO FIND THE ANSWER
FIGHT TO THE DOOR
THROUGH ALL ETERNAL QUESTION
THROUGH VISION OF NO MORE
TEAR OF PAIN
FEARS INSANE
REARS OF PAIN
BRING THE REIGN
MY POWERS FEED THE STREAMS
MY POWERS HOLD THE DREAMS
MY LOVE I LAY UPON YOU
MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE KING
FREE THE FIGHTING WITHIN YOU
THE FIGHTING MAY TAKE YOU TO HELL
AND HELL IS ALL AROUND US
THE SAVIOR LIES WITHIN
WITHIN THE SOUL THE ANSWER
THE DAWN OF LIFE BEGINS
TOUCH THE FLAME

3. The Wall of Life
T H E W A L L O F L I F E
IS THERE NO FEAR OF GOD
BEFORE YOUR EYES
THROUGH HIS LAW COMES KNOWLEDGE
THROUGH HIS EYES SEEK IMMORTALITY
THROUGH ETERNAL LIFE
FOR PASSING JUDGEMENT ON HIM
YOU CONDEMN YOURSELF BEYOND THE
WALL OF LIFE...
BEYOND THE WALL OF LIFE
MY FLESH WILL DWELL IN HOPE
JUSTIFIED THROUGH WORDS
WRITTEN ON MY HEART
MY TRUTH ABOUNDS TO HIS GLORY
MY THROAT AN OPEN GRAVE
WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH
THROUGH HIM WE HAVE OBTAINED
THE ACCESS TO HIS GRACE
IN WHICH WE STAND
MY CHILDREN, THIS IS THE FINAL HOUR
AND THIS IS THE ANTICHRIST
HE WHO DENIES THE FATHER
AND THE SON

4. Transcendence
T R A N S C E N D E N C E
THROUGH THE NIGHT, I SEE THE DOOR
I SEE THE LOVE TRANSCENDING THROUGH THE AIR.
THROUGH THE PAIN, I CALL HIS NAME
I SEE THE LIGHT CAN LIFT ME FROM THE SHADOWS
SURRENDERING ALL THAT I HAVE
VISION, REFLECTING THROUGH ALL THAT I AM
KNOWLEDGE, CONCEIVED BY THE TOUCH OF HIS HAND
SURRENDER FOR THE ANSWER
LIES WITHIN HIS EYES
THE DOORS OPENS TO VISION BEYOND
RISE, ABOVE THE NIGHT
INTO THE LIGHT,
FLY, ARROWS OF DESIRE
THE CLOUDS UNFOLD, INTO MY FIRE
BY THE GRACE OF LIGHT
MY SOUL AWAKE, ARISE TODAY
HE BLEW THE BREATH OF LIFE
INTO MY HANDS, A PROPHECY.
THROUGH THE STRENGTH,
THROUGH THE SOUL
WITHOUT FEAR, MY DESTINY AWAITS
THROUGH MY FATE, THEY GUARD THE GATE
TO DRIVE THE ANGEL FROM THE DOOR
WITHIN YOU,
TRANSCENDENCE IN LOVE WILL AVAIL
UNTO THE PROMISE, THE SOUL WILL PREVAIL
INTO DIMENSIONS ABOVE MORTAL HELL.

5. Silent Vision
S I L E N T V I S I O N
THE POSSIBILITIES THEY SEEM TO OFFER
I'VE DRAWN THE LINE OF VIOLATION,
THE SOUL TRANQUILITY
THESE FORBIDDEN TEARS
THAT FLOW MY WAY
ARE BENT IN EMPTINESS.
IT TAKES A PART OF ME,
AND HOLDS ME UNDER
ENDLESSLY, POSSESSING ME.
A RAINBOW SOON APPEARS
THE COLORS FADE TO BLACK
WITHIN THE SLASH OF FEAR
THE OTHERS BLEED TOGETHER.
SHATTERED DREAMS, IN ETERNAL VOID
ASK THE QUESTIONS WHY,
IS THIS THE SPEED OF LIFE
CRASHING EVER MORE.
WITHIN THE SPEED OF LIFE
CRASHING EVER MORE.

6. Retribution
R E T R I B U T I O N
MY REMORSE IS ENDLESS
AS I WATCH MY CHILDREN
PERISH BY MY HAND
NOT EVEN THE TEARS FROM MY
EYES CAN STOP THE FIRE
TOUCH MY BLOODSTAINED HANDS
WIPE AWAY THE TEARS OF RETRIBUTION
BORN INTO VAST PLAINS OF FIRE
BEYOND THE REACH OF INFINITE MERCY
THEY STAND IN DESPERATION
NAMELESS FOREVER MORE.
TOUCH MY BLOODSTAINED HANDS
WIPE AWAY THE TEARS OF RETRIBUTION.

7. When the Cat Came Home
sounds in the attic
see inside the show
watch as you go
watch as you go
trapped in some place
the entity fades
watch them crawl on me
claiming redemption
they're coming to your town
nothing inside
there's nothing inside
assassination
when the cat came home
lurking in the doorway
i saw him hang by the power
covered in scabs
covered in scabs
assassination
when the cat came home
8. The Revelation
[i. the blood of the lamb]
can you feel the signs
feel the signs
are we still alive
are we still alive
numbers - he makes his way
numbers - turn away
take what you like
stay with me, give me life
scorch the men who wear the mark
let the seas and rivers bleed
into the air
into the air
the first born of the dead
the mark upon his head
turn away, turn away
he who has an ear, let him hear
drink the blood of the lamb
[ii. the plague]
and the first went
poured his veil upon the earth
and there fell a grievous sore
breathe - dust to dust
bleeding out of darkness
a prayer for the dying
they want his heart
they want his mind
his blood - his blood
his blood flows to the river
his blood can break the night
to cry out for the answer
in the light
to roll across the land
the wound we cannot mend
breathe - dust to dust
it drags you through the doorway
scaling the walls between his eyes
his eyes will hold the answer
his eyes will shine above the night
the morning after his love
the system rapes you
then creates you
[iii. the veil of armageddon]
one law has manifested by his hand
his reign has opened darkness
on the land
they punish all believers
they torture all the children
of the light
run to the hills
or face your crucifixion
our stomachs bleed with hunger
our feet are cold, behold
our souls cannot be sold
the battlefield is cold and worn
seven years
the veil of armageddon
cries it's tears
the horsemen ride upon the night
the rage of fear
the veil of armageddon
cries it's tears
the prophets crucified
behold, the horsemen lie
the veil of armageddon
cries it's tears
the stage is set through all dimensions
through the end
the veil of armageddon
cries it's tears
his promise is revealed
the heavens break the seals
the veil of armageddon
cries it's tears
[iv. the wrath]
standing in time, two worlds collide
break the numbers, break the chains
break the chains
there's nowhere to hide, you must be tried
face the torture, face the pain
ride the train into the fire
don't stand in the fire
don't stand in the fire
lord, what have they done
denied the father
denied the son
lord, i see the end
take the children
in love, descends
he's come to set us free
[v. the resurrection]
lord, take my hand, take my soul
through the door
lord i understand i'm but a man
who knows the pain
within your tears
your tears of love
your tears of pain
they rain upon me
as the millions
meet their fate
lord, i need to see what lies beyond
the great unknown
the rays of heaven penetrate my soul
to lift me through the door
into the light, into the air
beyond the fight, beyond the pain
beyond the sun, beyond the rain
i arise love descends upon the edge
love descends upon the fortress
love descends upon the soul
surrounding as one
one love is the answer
one love is alive
love lives through the channel
love lives through the light
do you believe in the power and glory
the end is soon to pass
and hell may now surround us
and hell deceives the cast
the door awaits you calling
to set your spirit free
and all the seals have opened
for you to call on me
all you little children
are running from the door
there's no need to run
there's no need to hide
there's no where to run
there's no place to hide
