1. Intro
2. Burden of Time
Burden of Time
An endless Universe, that endless time has grown
Formed by the hands of extinct Gods
A line up of moments, a static sequence of seconds
Untouchable by mankind
Time – the thread for the carpet of the three nornes
Time – constantly leading to our sudden ending
I wish for an endless moment
Filled with tears of joy or of pain
Something to tell me I am real
Something to show me I’m alive
A stagnation of motion, experience the uniqueness
And all formed by the strengh of my soul
The amalgamation of future and past, the extinction of present
Being lost in eternity
Time – an inexplicable phenomen for human mind
Time – genuine foundation for our lives
The indifference of days causes depression
The restless passing of hours causes obsession
I wish for an endless moment
Filled with tears of joy or of pain
Something to tell me I am real
Something to show me I’m alive
The growing requirement for a break fills my soul
The desire for refreshing sleep fills my heart
Let time stand still
Let time stand still
Let time stand still
Let time stand still
3. Confessions of a martial mind
Confessions of a martial mind
I am the warrior of pain
Darkness is my lonely fate
And as I wander through land and time
I search for a view of sense in this life
Been on the search for years
For anything that fills this torturing emptiness
I searched the myths
I searched the art
Been through the tears and through the bliss
As darkness falls onto the land
And the shadows reach for my soul
As even silence leaves me alone
And the sorrow is my last companion
The pipes call me to arms
For the eternal battle
So I search for my strength
In the myths of times long bygone
Oh you past heros give me the might
Pray to ancient gods
In the halls of Avalon
So that I can raise my sword
And fight this hated life
Chorus
In the castle of grief
It’s where you want me to be
Lost, beyond a wall of pain
Laid in chains of loneliness
But pain creates hatred
Which gives me the bravery
To fight in this lost battle
Against existence and to die
I hear death calling my name
In the winds of tomorrow
Someday I will follow
And pass away into the myths
To the eternal halls of Avalon
Chorus
4. Lost Moment
Lost Moment
Rain is falling gentle on my hair, motionless I stand, on this cold autumn’s day
As the leaves spiral to the stable soil, the descending fog seems to reflect past days
And stubborn the trees camber under the pressure of soundless wind
Like my soul... standing and waiting
Flashing memories emerge from their mouldring graves, and spoil this deseptive idyll
At sunrise I am eavesdroping the wind...whispering my name
Pain and Sorrow, Fear and Death
Come for me, Release me from this world
I roamed the coldest mornings, and the darkest nights
I viewed my soul, thought I saw my ashes
But at this point of descision, I hesitate
I...AM...AFRAID
Like creeping cold, the fear covers my body
And prevents my from living
And the pain rises up again,
in the view of my inability
Another tear I shed for a lost moment
Still I stand motionless on this winter’s day
I am awaiting a new beginning
Hoping for destiny to prepare my lonley way
Never shall I be free
Never shall I feel inner silence
As the dew moistens me I kneel realizing
That I was born to die...
Like creeping cold, the fear covers my body
And prevents my from living
And the pain rises up again,
in the view of my inability
Like frozen trees I am standing in the shadows
Forsaken I try to melt in the sun
Forever I am trying, never finding the searched
Depraving stagnation surrounds my live
So another tear I shed for a lost moment
For a lost moment...
For a lost moment...
5. Dethroned God
Dethroned God
Hear the cries from their tortured souls
See the architecure of life
As the inferior creature screamed for a sense
Nature remained silent
And as the pain of forelorness occupied it’s soul
It created vice and virtue and founded it on blood
It created a heaven for the hypocriticals and a hell of fire for the wisdom
And it invented an untrue word an with it – a false prophet
Blood on the dethroned God
His skull lies down in decay
Eye for an eye, and pain for pain
Asheas to ashes, and the cross to dust
And the son died for their sins and made them atone for life,
as his flesh began to smell of putrefaction
They began to whorship a holy trinity, for showing them the way
To stagnation
So they followed and spread the tyranny, to force their will on earth
After 2000 years of reign in violence
The holy church of pain left an endless amount of mouldring graves
And these rusty swords bringing their alleged justice
Could not conceil the harrassning falseness that lies deep within their souls
And as Christ opened the gates of heaven for the elitist pure, so did Lucifer
For the sinful true and gave Odin a throne by his side
Blood on the dethroned God
His skull lies down in decay
Eye for an eye, and pain for pain
Asheas to ashes, and the cross to dust
So you saints, revel in your dogmatic consecration
And believe in mental salvation
Suffer from Satans power
As we suffered from your tyranny
Dethrone the God – who reigned these centuries of suppression
For his excruting death will end the reign of the bloodstained cross
Dethrone the God – whose idiology failed within its representatives
And the darkness will take the life out from his gilded temples
Blood on the dethroned God
His skull lies down in decay
Eye for an eye, and pain for pain
Asheas to ashes, and the cross to dust
6. Down Here
