1. Intro
2. Servant of the Bones
I see, the sun will turn
Blood-red it changes over me
For three days I suffered the poisonous gold
Made Cyrus the God-sent King
Oh memories of old
For too long I faded
For too long I shared the vagueness of spirits...faded so fast
The memories eluded me or else brought me pain
The cauldron still hurts me, see again, and again..
My Bones in a shrine
My soul still caught in time
May she burn have I no soul I'm Azriel
Oh, do believe my Masters I've slain
Oh, no, but you needn't fear
Jonathan my friend
There's been too many Masters too many deaths by my hand
The memories of innocense
All tears in the sand
My Bones in a shrine
My soul still caught in time
May she burn have I no
soul I'm Azriel and so you see, the sun will turn
Blood-red it changes over me
Wrought in confusion
My life at an end I wait for the golden stairs
To come down again
3. Another Time Around
Don't tell me life is for the living
The voices that I hear say it's not so
I fear they just pretend to hold the answer...
They tell me life's what we're given
Then nevermore, but hey, you never know
Believe me, in time there's no tomorrow
So wish me well I feel it's time to go
Another time around
Another song, another crown
New faces hide the cards
Turn them down
A masterful design
Not once upon a time
And still we dream
We hope for something more
They told me - I saw
Holy fire, oh the burning of us all
Another time around
Don't want to face the day still unforgiven
No, I don't want to see the end at all
Don't want no brave new world tomorrow
Forevermore to one and all
They told me - I saw Holy fire - ooh, burning in us all
Another time around
4. Where the Sun Never Shines
Make me an offer I cannot refuse
Sell me your nightmares, your fears
Tell me the difference I live with the dead
Tell me of joy and of tears
Grant me three wishes and make them come real
Wishes go farther out here
Tell me of secrets and places you've been
Tell me the rapture is near
Show me the devil is always the same
Show me I've nothing to fear
Give me a choice
between Heaven and Hell
Show me a way out of here
Here I am, where the
Dead rule the night
The stars left the sky for this place
Darkness rules and I say, I will stay
Here where the sun never shines
I made you an offer you could not refuse
I sold you your nightmares, your fears I told you the difference
I wept for the dead I told you of joy and of tears
I Granted three wishes then made them come real I hold you there's nothing to fear
Now give me a choice either Heaven or Hell I'll take any road out of here
Here I am, where the Dead rule the night
The stars left the sky for this place
Darkness rules and I say, I will stay
Here where the sun never shines
5. Order of the Seven Poles
Strange were the days that passed
Unreal and unexplained I knew nought of their secret rites or of their hidden ways
The servants child, the beaten prone the misfit and the slave
They all believe, it serves them right
Just watch him rise again
I've seen it all
So believe me when I say
Even valiant princes fall
Oh! but rise now, rise again
Each day they seek me out observe me in disguise
They do not know about the one they think they saw him die
Only I, yes only I remember what is true I heard your name and then I knew
The seventh pole would summon you
I've seen it all So believe me when I say
Even valiant princes fall
Oh! but rise now, rise again
I call you now -
Come rise, rise again I call you now -
Come rise in me I call you now -
Rise and I shall be Grand Master of the Order
The Order of the Seven Poles
6. Undead
Empty shelves, hollow corridors
A daunting smell, never felt before
Compassion breaking down
In time we lose ourselves, anyway
A strange emotion fill the air
The second seal, cracked up, unfair I force the needle through my spine
No savior burning, hammer on...
Still chained to the world Oh, our circle still turns
It's not fair, it's not fair undead
7. No Tears in the Rain
In my world there is nothing quite like this pain
All your dreams, your illusions
They're like tears in the rain
Eyes stare blank
You don't reach don't you need me
Can't you see that this needs be and no one else really cares
See me
See my world in another light
So full of life new beginnings and our souls burn so bright
I Don't dream I'm falling anymore...
In my world There is nothing quite like this pain
All your dreams, your illusions
They're like tears in the rain
Your eyes stare back
You don't reach out, don't you need me
Can't you see how this bleeds me
And no one else really to cares
8. Intro / Lord on High
I hear the priests call to the people
They say the Gods need human blood
And now the crowd cries so much louder
Spells has been cast now they're waiting for me
Dazed I wait in total darkness
The stone door slides open the crowds in extacy
The High Priest gives sign and I'm brought forward
Temple-guards seize me I'm forced to my knees
Fiery mad eyes staring
The blade goes in
The Gods are daring me to go...
On wings of might and splendour
They told me I would fly
A mighty ghost, no magic
Can bind me Lord on High
I shiver with fear I can take this no longer
Oh Gods gather round to feast on us all
The blade poised to strike, my spirit grows stronger
They hold up the cup now my blood I shall drink
Fiery mad eyes staring
The blade goes in
The Gods are daring me to go ...
On wings of might and splendour
They told me I would fly
A mighty ghost, no magic
Can bind me Lord on High
9. Corporate Masters
So it came
The first day of the new religion
Saw the God with the cold eyes
Only then did I realize we had sold out
It's been a week now and
I'm starting to fade
Day after day I see this Idol
Stand in my way
Why even bother when ...
Corporate Masters
Run the Benefactor System
Can I live up to the role?
And so it fell
The first choice for the new division
Handed out with a cold smile
All of this always televised for the eyes of the supervised
The keys to the sectors of power was given by ...
Corporate Masters
Run the Benefactor System
Can I live up to the role?
Now who can tell in the light of this
New Disorder
Who we are and you tell me
Who are we unbelieving
In a world full of pain
Run this world backwards
Corporate Masters
Run the Benefactor System
Can I live up to the role?
10. No Wings to Burn
I am near you tonight I'm the dark, the dead, I'm the light
Hear a voice through the black
Soon to burn with the angels
As you open the door
There is no one to help you
Hear you call me once more
Now I see me outside the world, outside myself
I'm one with everything and there's no one else
You call my name now take my hand and fade away I'm so
much stronger now, I have no fear No wings to burn
Look into my eye I can see, I feel you're in pain It's the heat, you're
becoming one that burn with the angels
As you open the door
There is no one to help you
Hear you call me once more
Now I see me outside the world, outside myself I'm one with everything and
there's no one else
You call my name now take my hand and fade away I'm so
much stronger now, I have no fear
No wings to burn
11. The Dead and His Son
Mark my words, I won't care
Never tread where angels dare
Precious few shine like you
Fewer still are aware of the dead and his son
I don't know, where do I start
So many thoughts, I wonder where we all go and if also memories never die
All empty chairs
There's no one here I can't believe it's over
This darkest hour to my dismay makes me feel alight
I'm Sure he's here always so near like we belong together
Wherever I go, he's there also
Somewhere deep inside
The candle burns once more tonight I could've sworn I heard your laughter
Forevermore and on...
I call forevermore beyond the grave
The dead and his son
Oh Father gone for way too long I lived my life away from you
So when I wake and pray tonight
Make me feel alive
Still empty chairs I know you're here
We belong together
Wherever I go you're there also
Somewhere deep inside
