1. Dark Tower
Off the shores of another land
Looming dark against the sky
Stands a tower of blackest stone
That outlasts time itself
Eyes behold this evil and malevolent monument
For it has claimed so many tortured souls
Wiped out in vain
The will of fate fulfilled its rage
Ends a decade, a forgotten page
-Dark Tower-
Your kingdom come - An heir is born
We will follow and your force will grow
Fear the eye of the hurricane
Latent power still unseen
Emerging from the sacred throne
That the child king sits upon
That leader rules over this malevolent monument
For his reign has taken a mighty dreadful toll
Forging your chains
The ruins we've made in enemies' land
Women we've raped, tortured, enslaved
-Dark Tower-
Your kingdom come - A crown of thorns
We will follow, destruction will flow
Decayed remains of heroes' grave
Martyrs insane, courageous, brave
-Dark Tower-
Your kingdom come - Your blazon is worn
We will follow the flag of sorrow
(Your kingdom come)
2. Inner Sanctum
In the depth of your mind
The paradox of your loneliness awaits for a sign
And the shadows of pain in circle around you
The ritual has begun
They seem so far away but unconscious and willingness
Have merged and become one and left you in this state
It's rather late to wonder if it was what you want
The endless gate is open now... waiting for you
Inner Sanctum will be your new home
Relieved from the weight of the world
Inner Sanctum a peace of mind
Where you'll live free away from sorrow
Are you sure you're alive
In full control of your intentional psycho-suicide
Be a shadow of pain by you, because of you
For the matter's not theirs to decide
They seem so far away but unconscious and willingness
Have merged and become one and left you in this state
It's rather late to wonder if it was what you want
The endless gate is open now... waiting for you
Inner Sanctum will be your new home
Relieved from the weight of the world
Inner Sanctum a peace of mind
Where you'll live free away from sorrow
Who keep us away from the truth and in the darkness manipulate
The innocents that we are materialising their own game
The privilege, the wonder wrapping around the masquerade
Shatter the gate and what's behind... appears to you
Inner Sanctum will be your new home
Relieved from the weight of the world
Inner Sanctum a peace of mind
Where you'll live free away from sorrow
3. Altar of Madness
Do you realise you've come to me
To ask a favour... a favour
I need your raison-d'ªtre
To create the vision... arrest my decision
A life for a life
Flesh for blood - Flesh for blood
I feel the shame spreading in your veins
All is so confused, you thought you were immune
Come closer to the altar I promise
It won't endeavour to devour you
Don't turn away, don't hold your breath
Your mission... repel the repulsion
A life for a lie
Slay the goat - Slay the goat
As you watch blood stains stretching along the drain
The Being seems amused of your misfortune
The altar of madness has become a part of you
A pit of darkness for all humanity in you
The elder of madness wants you to share his views
A world of sadness... His world of sadness
As you watch blood stains running along the drain
The Being seems amused of your misfortune
The altar of madness has become a part of you
A pit of darkness for all humanity in you
The elder of madness wants you to share his views
A world of sadness obscure the sky above you
4. Cast Out
I thought you were the king of the burned plains
The craftsman of torture and pain
But without reason the will to hurt has gone
And your lust for torment in the sea of time has drowned
You're standing there, facing me
Braving your peers gathered here
As the sun goes down on me
You're cast out, I set you free
As the sun goes down on me
You're cast out, It sets us free
I'm taking back the crown that I've once supplied
To a rebel angel that had made his time
But as the wind blows the leaves of the Eden tree
We'll fix our machine then carry on our deeds
They're everywhere, begging me
They've got nowhere but here
As the sun goes down on me
You're cast out, I set you free
As the sun goes down on me
You're cast out, It sets us free
The situation could not be solved
By any other means you had to leave
Your reef, this place and your memories
For you've been unworthy
To carry on the divine tragedy
As the sun goes down on me
You're cast out, I set you free
As the sun goes down on me
You're cast out, It sets you free!
5. The Silver Sword
I faked so many times
For the sake of peace in our life
When you prayed at night, so did I
I was so blind, no more am I
Remember the fights you had
With everyone, about everything
I didn't know what side to be on
No, I didn't betray you
I just didn't follow you
On the path along whose way
You have shaped your truth...
The Silver Sword
Once again you are the white knight
And I am the black sheep
A mind you can't understand
But forests need different trees
Tolerance is a word you don't know
And when you look into my eyes
You only see the perfect me
The one you want me to be
The one who'd share your views
But here I stand and disagree
So your anger burst to defend your truth...
The Silver Sword
Once again you are the white knight
And I am the black sheep
A mind you can't understand
But forests need different trees
You'd swear you are the right one
'cause as the angel speaks to you
Your speech must be in some ways
The one and only truth...
Once again you are the white knight
And I am the black sheep
(But forests need different trees)
6. Murder
am the ghost of a ghost that lives inside your head
The third generation core of a system based on drugs and strain
Here from my prison cells I watched over your health
But now I want to be free, mess around your sanity
I'm more than a shade of grey or scarecrow, or prop for plays
How does it feel to think again?
You murdered another side of me... oh
Leaving behind such a harsh symphony
You murdered another side of me... oh
Shattered my soul feels incomplete
You relied on me to control the few yourselves
But what could happen to me you never really care
Now I'm a runaway, a hunter, a bird of prey...
How does it feel to think again?
You murdered another side of me... oh
Leaving behind such a harsh symphony
You murdered another side of me... oh
Shattered my soul feels incomplete
Fear my vengeance, fear the pain
A twist in the right bond, should really drive you insane
You plead my indulgence, can't you see you claim in vain
A bend in that connection and your sanity slips away
How does it feel to think again?
You murdered another side of me... oh
Leaving behind such a harsh symphony
You murdered another side of me... oh
Shattered my soul feels incomplete
