1. The Revenant
Rising back from the depths insane are the cries
from his past
running away from the truth the anguish
he flees closes fast
searching the evil unleashed
from rage that his torment amassed
relentless his quest for revenge from his grave deaths sentence is passed
the ghosts of a time weep for vengeance
long dead still the dreams haven't ceased
how law could preside such injustice
now the ravenant's wrath is released
stolen before it was time
all the dreams that he worked to create
ravaged so mercilessly he seeks atonement for ill gotten fate
striking a bargain with hell so the crime done to him is repaid
striken the slayers eternal roaming life in the guise of a shade
the price his soul lost forever
so the curse of undead can be placed
with the revenant's wrath placed upon them
he can rest for he's suffrage's erased
2. Death Of Innocence
What was the world for me as a child
Full of innocence not yet wild
I thought people All were good
The world was ordered it was understood
They put ideas in my head
Fairy tales were what they said
Soon I learned you all had hearts of black you beat
And robbed and raped me laughed behind my back
I thought the world mad I hated life
Itself I cursed the god they made and then shoved down my throat
I rebelled to them
All I'd make them pay before they fall
Death of innocence my values died
No reference cut off from my soul
The loss of heart leaves a blackened hole
Now I think I'm on a path searching for enlightenment
I sometimes feel I grasp the thread of eternity within my head
Feeds me power from the earth feel the logic my spirit rebirth
3. Trapped In The Trip
Steal away from life with me
to a place that's hidden to all but me
I find the way to a place in my brain
genetic shapes on the DNA chain
fly down the hall like a runaway train
reality warps as I near insane
hypnotic trance in the path it lay
pick it up it shoots sparkling rays
the trip returns again
returns again again
the trip never ends no
evolution reversed I go back through lives awed by lives
I am there as earth begins before mans
time and the dawn of sin
the cosmic primordial soup I exist
within it all is no past is no future
existence shall be my only tutor
the trip returns again
returns again again
the trip never ends no
my dream starts again
the life tree reigns
knowledge is second
life grows strong
the dream lifts the sleep from my eyes
Steal away from life with me
to a place that's hidden to all but me
I find the way to a place in my brain
genetic shapes on the DNA chain
fly down the hall like a runaway train
reality warps as I near insane
hypnotic trance in the path it lay
pick it up it shoots sparkling rays
the trip returns again
returns again again
the trip never ends no
4. Your Failure Inscribed In Stone
Science seeks to ascend to god's throne by playing their trade
Creating life on their own
As consciousness' state's forever at hand
They're doomed to wander a no mans land
They seek to become master alone
The key they reveal will only be soul
Smash all your atoms and still you will find
You can't instill life of a real kind
Your failure inscribed in stone
And when you wander through your experiments
You'll see a piece alludes your memory
This puzzle of life creates the stern brow
So active and coaxing the here and the now
Through the dream I saw my own fate on my stone
I could read the date I saw the beginning of life
And learned the secret made in my life
5. Passage Of Time (Amber Leaves...)
Misty spirit of ether come into me
Join me as one
Weave us together with many branches
The seed must grow dormant
In a cold earth we wait for spring
One tear shed for love will grow the heart again
And loneliness will pass
As the shadows of angels that linger nearby
Imparting strength the drought leaves us
Stricken on the cracked dry earth
It's a passage of time
We cry for the dead
And pray for joys return
We bow to the grace of who gives life and light
As I gaze into those soft loving eyes
I return to love and warm tenderness
You engulfed me with sweet kisses
Of misty lips drawn unto me
You could not leave
Your heart had bound me and I
Possessed your soul in eternity
We are locked in the embrace
The feelings frozen in time
As light is captured in a photograph
Of us as young lovers
6. Of The Dream
I waked in a mist
the landscape changing in vision
is it I who watches this
or is it some other mind
is this a dream I cannot tell
or some lost station of hell
the dampness clings to my hair
a ring I see round the moon
am I waiting to die
in the dream
my mind swims through the vapors
I can't tell what is real
swim through the underground rivers
my escape has been sealed
all by myself in the hometown
but no one here can recall
look the shadows are closer
how much more can I run
tell my mind to wake up
the thought does me no good
look to the ground for a weapon
to face the danger I flee
a rock is all that I see
I reach down and grab the stone
the beast is now upon me
I fight the thing with my strength
but I can't bring it down
lord please let me fight
hurtling thru the skies
this can't be real
I see his face
god is revealed
this is no dream
I see it's real
past and future lie unconcealed
7. Ides Of March / Purgatory (Iron Maiden cover)
Thinking of an age old dream
Places I have never seen
Fantasies lived times before
I split my brain, melt through the floor
Over clouds my mind will fly
forever now I can't think why
My body tries to leave my soul
Or is it me, I just don't know
Memories rising from the past
The future's shadow overcast
Something's clutching at my head
Through the darkness I'll be led
Oh another time, another place
Oh another smile on another face
When you see me floating up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen
Fantasies lived times before
I split my brain, melt through the floor
Over clouds my mind will fly
Forever now I can't think why
My body tries to leave my soul
Or is it me, i just don't know
Memories rising from the past
The future's shadow overcast
Something's clutching at my head
Through the darkness I'll be led
Oh another time, another place
Oh another smile on another face
When you see me walking up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
8. What’s Behind The Veils?
Twilight I greet you the beauty of the earth
I've watched in dominion witnessed life's birth
When sad your life ends
The tears you will see of all who lived here for an eternity
What lies behind the veils
What lies behind the veils
Don't you wish you knew
Is it hell awaits you or heaven that you drew
A judgment's now in order
Your fate beyond command
Your bill has now come
Due payment on demand
I read some books about it
Prepared as best I knew
But when I have to face it I don't know what I'll do
You must fear it also
What path have you chose
What's behind the veils when deaths cold wind blows
I spent my life deceiving those I thought I loved
I only cared for myself
I sent my loves away
I lusted for the women that were only whores
I enjoyed their pleasures while cursing me to hell
9. Idols
I have no direction
I'm lost afloat in a swirling sea of doubt
I have no religion no beliefs no ideals
No morals no ethics nobody save me
Something there must be someone with answers
I see only images of sexual bondage
And desire it and other things and pleasures
Save me from what I can't see
There's cold thoughts washing over me
I've no point can't call this living life
I just watch fictionals acting life
The screens on but nothing inside
Soul is empty so I know they've lied
Ancient gods of old were not gods at all but empty idols
Modern gods of new are not gods at all but empty idols
10. Hate²
The color of skin doesn't begin to shape my point of view
I don't believe it makes you take leave of what's in your mind
if I were blind I think I would find it just doesn't matter
the world is ripped apart by the fools some of us have
no heart hate colored tools the sex of a mate sparks a debate
which one is better I would submit for you to admit we
both need each other we both have a mind and you soon
will find you can do anything too difference is good
if only you could appreciate what's not like you why
the hate it's not so great we've lost a lot of friends
I'll begin to understand I'm different in your eyes
too I'll learn to trust you're a threat not who you are
but what you do in the end we'll depend on who I am and what I do
