1. Ceremony of Fire
Verse 1:
A rite performed
To summon the storm
From the vast swirling abyss,
Cometh shapeless menace,
In a robe of forlorn
The chanting of names
Igniting the flames
Cast away all our shame
For indulgence untamed is the whole
Of the law
Pre Chorus 1:
Unhallowed mystic circle in conviction
We invoke the opening of the gates to the unknown
No religion rivals enchantment
For we dominate the throne of the undead
Verse 2:
A curse revered,
Fueled by fear
The horror of death doth invite you
Into the garden of delights the raging beast
Inside us
In satan's name
A bloody rain
Rejoicing in lust
As we fade into dust
And our souls arise
To haunt you
Pre Chorus 1:
The master is coming to claim you
A bloodstained angel with eyes that bleed black
As the spectral choir draws nearer
With open arms and white robes stained with blood

My life seems to waste away
As I walk these streets alone
The day seems to me so gray
As I cry I must be strong

And I know that I will carry on
Verse 2:
My desire rages on
Spite the lines that are drawn
I strive to be strong
And I know I'll carry on
Pre Chorus 2:
And Every step that I take, brings me closer
Every breath that I take, seems so wrong

Look toward the sky, what do you see

3. Stricken Within
Verse 1:
Awake to face the day
Dawn's light piercing my eyes
Remembrance of my youth
Those years seem to pass me by
And now i rise
Fortold of my oncoming demise
Stricken with disease
A plague paralyzing life
Solo 1: Elliott
Verse 2:
All the friends I've had
Stood beside me all of my life
But now they turn away
Fear has made them blind
A curse that lives inside me
Feeding on my pain
And now I'm a walking shell
Of the man that I'd once been
Chorus:
A lonely man trapped on a sea sorrow
A lonely world looking back at me
Alone I stand to face tomorrow
I won't be damned to a life of misery
Solo 2: Kral
Verse 3:
Though my death is drawing near
I'll fight to the end
Teach the children not to succumb to ingnorance
I stand on the edge
Screaming out for a cure
To end the hatred
And the intolerance in the world
Repeat Chorus
Solo 3: Elliott
Harmony 1: Elliott / Kral
Solo 4: Elliott
Verse 4:
Another day folds
As my requiem begins
A macabre symphony
Reminding me of past sins
Into a dreamworld
Within fog shrouded forests of black
No more pain, No more tears
I will be coming back
Repeat Chorus
Solo 5: Kral
4. The Enchantress
Verse 1:
Within the pages of your mind
A distant memory seers you blind
A broken hope, a broken road
An enchantress suduced by desire
On the wings of fate unto her pyre
Loneliness consumes you in fire
Your dreams are cast away
Verse 2:
You see the light has gone
Dark consumed the flame
Your one and only love
Now cold as the grave
You stand alone in the pouring rain
In a flowing gown of white lace
As the heart break takes its toll
The tears streak your face
Harmony 1: Elliott / Kral
Verse 2:
Watching the candle burn
As the tears fill yours eyes
A siren song she cries
A new dawn has begun for you
The dove spreads her wings and flies
Harmony 2: Elliott / Kral
Chorus:
In the mist the Enchantress calls
Share one last kiss under crystal waterfalls
Unholy darkness she damned from the light
As the beast emerges and carriers her off into the night
Bridge:
Screaming as reality fades
Shrieking curses as she burns at the stake
Verse 3:
You see the light has gone
Dark consumes the flame
Lonely witch who was lost in love
Now cold as the grave
You stand alone in the pouring rain
In a flowing gown of white lace
She's risen again in shame
Eternity haunted by her face
5. The Quest for the King
Solo 1: Kral
Verse 1:
Far off the horizon
Lies the temple of a fallen king
His vision etched on the world
His words vibrant in our dreams
Seeking the truth we go
To the mountain looking over the sea
A quest to find our lost souls
On the threadline to reality
Chorus 1:
We are one with the magic of the kind
The scribes of forgotten truths
The spindle of fate unfolds our destiny
The shattering of our youth
Venturing down out of the rising sun
The temple's magnificence shines
Tomorrow at the break of down
His knowledge attained, we shall ride
Verse 2:
Past the city of unanswered prayers
Into the valley of the falling tears
Where the dying one is their sentinel
Watching over them for many years
There we'll ressurect the old ways
Bring back to life his fallen dream
Spread his magic to the blind ones
A new world they will see
Chorus 2:
We are one with the magic of the king
The scribes of forgotten truths
The spindle of fate unfolds our destiny
The shattering of our youth
Venturing down out of the rising sun
Turning water into wine
Burn the incense of the elder
The black temples magnificence shines
Bridge
THE QUEST FOR THE KING
THE QUEST FOR THE KING
THE QUEST FOR THE KING
THE QUEST FOR THE KING
Solo 1: Elliott
Harmony 1: Elliott / Kral
Solo 2: Kral
Solo 3: Elliott
Bridge 2:
The truth
Blinded by our dreams
Made clear for all to see
Liberated from reality
Fate
A rainbow in black concealed
The clash of blood and steel
The answers been revealed
Harmony 2: Elliott / Kral
6. Black Rain
Verse 1:
Now more sailing in directions unkown
Leading you on to place he calls home
Once your their you'll see his wrath has bound you
As you to others death will take you too
On and On he keeps reminding you of you time
Your precious life, life is on the line
Verse 2:
Now he has control of every bit of you life
His future prospers as yours is dark as night
His curse is endless your a pawn in his hands
Feel the darkness gather within you like the silken shrouds of the dead
Verse 3:
The devils dancing with your soul in his hands
He takes your pain as payment for mankinds
Destruction of the power which he placed on this earth
But oh the way that the evil mind works
Pre Chorus 1:
I am the pain drawn in your eyes
I am the one who made you lie
Insanity is where I reign
Now it's time to taste the pain
Chorus
BLACK RAIN
The Pain
Sustained
By BLACK RAIN

Insanity is where I reign
Now it's time to taste the pain
Chorus
BLACK RAIN
The Pain

7. The Ebony Clock
Verse 1:
The ebony clock feigned and scorned
Spins the web of our lives forlorn
The raven claws at the sins of our past
Midnight tolls behind obsidian glass
Chorus 1:
What lies behind the arms bekoning call?
An unquenchable pyre or nothing at all
What morbid truths linger inside waiting?
To taunt our future with the blackest of hates
Verse 2:
13 monks ascend the hill
Torches illuminate the night ever still
In search of reason they ponder our dead
Shrouded in doubt they join the dead
Chorus 2:
What lies behind the arms beckoning call?
Would you die to find it is nothing at all?
Does the tolling ring louder for you every dawn?
Will you rest in peace or in hellfire burn?
8. DAMIEN: The Son of the Priest
