1. For the Scarecrow
Upon shallow gravesThe sisters (are) dancingUpon the bones of seven deadThrough raven's eyesThe ghosts are watchingThrough a realm of painThey slowly moveSeven daggers buried deepThe seven sisters never sleepOn this night of the scarecrowThe blood-moon shinesSeven corpses never foundThe masque of the deadThey wear tonightThe seven sisters with raven's eyesFor the angel- the Scarecrow- The broken oneWhose wings are but shadows in the setting sunThe unhallowed sisters dance tonightKissed by the devil in the pale moon lightSeven phantoms - seven gravesSeven sisters without namesBlessed by the ScarecrowBlessed by the nightTorn and broken shadows danceThe angel is watchingIn shrouds of mist and spiders webThe seven sisters with raven's eyes
2. The Endless
Torn apartThe moonlit nightThe silenceAnd then no moreLeft to dieIn another dreamI would shineIt would be mine...The silent one before me riseI watch him glow...So cold and naked...His eyes are burned awayI stare into the darknessWhere nothing can be seenTears fall from my weary eyesNothing can be seenFading dreams and visionsPurity has its priceThe silent one, the Endless...Staring with empty eyesAcross the room upon the wallMotionless I hangDenied my lifeIn another dreamI would shineIt would be mine...Torn apartThe moonlit nightThe silenceAnd then no moreLeft to dieIn another dreamI would shineIt would be mine...The silent one before me riseI watch him glow...So cold and naked...His eyes are burned awayAnd one by oneThe statues came to lifeAs if driven by an unseen forceSlowly they movedWith heavy steps through the portalToward the great unknownAnd then...No more...
3. The Night of the Dreamer
Upon the moorA ragged shapeSo silent standIn your dreamsWith outstretched wingsThe Angel danceSo dark and fearfulCan you see his face?And then another visionWill this never end?Dark and deepThe endless seaWhere the dreamer dwellsBelial feltThe dragons breatheThen the Angels fellTo play among the shadowsCan you hear them call?Penetrate the silenceWill you heed their call?Another nightThe Broken oneIs back againThe ScarecrowCan't be banishedWho will hear you pray?Upon the moor in silenceHeed the dreamers callIt penetrate the silenceWill you heed their call?
4. Plaguebringer
Black blood. Dust and ashes.In the spiders web the fly is lostDead eyes in darkness pryingWithin my corpse the worms still crawlBleached bones 'round my throne lie scatteredWhere life once bloomed now silence ruleFaceless A dark god now risenTo purge the earth, to thin the heardBrought to life in silenceOut of worm infested gravesIn darkness I've risenTo curse the world againThe Earth is dead...The black wounds never healingWelcome death, I've come to youThe hellish pain increasingMy legacy I've brought to youBrought to life in silenceOut of worm infested gravesIn darkness I've risenTo curse the world againPlaguebringerThe Earth is dead...
5. The Nameless City
Pale shines the moon above meIt lights my way through the desert nightHow much further do I have to wander?How much more must I sacrifice?Mentioned only by the mad oneThe nameless city - shunned by allWhat awaits I can't imagineIn my thoughts the poet's words I recall:"That is not dead which can eternal lieAnd through strange aeons even death may die..."The wind... Unspeakable... so cold... so cold...A presence... in the dark... the wind... it tears my soulBehind the walls... Underneath the towers...Of this cursed city... the horror I faced...Beyond belief... I stared into the abyss...The Labyrinth... The tombs of glass...Twisted and grotesque... the demonic corpses.They looked at me... with empty eyes...And I swear... And I swear...I saw them move. The mad poet...His words... "That is not dead..."
6. The Lake
Voices, sweet and beckoningIn your mind, leads you the wayGuides you through the blackened nightThey've promised that you'll be safeShadows dance before your eyesTo a tune the devil playsYou're mesmerized by his tender songsFrom the depths of the cursed lakeThe fog lie thick, on the surface darkAt the shore you stand aloneWith empty eyes, at the lake you stareSoon the devil will take his brideTake his hand, join the danceLeave this world so far behindA night of joy, then oblivionWithin the depths of the cursed lake
7. The Tower
Behind the walls I hide where the sun cannot reach meWithin the tower where you can't see my faceThrough dust I slowly stride where the night is foreverWithin the tower where you can't see my faceOne step behind youTurn around, and I am goneYou'll never see meJust a feeling that something is so wrongEach night I wanderUninvited, from the towerA nightly guestWho has come to kiss your life good-byeFrom the past, a shadowA phantom, in the pale moonlightI can see youOh, how sweet is not your face in frightYour heart is poundingAs you walk through the shadow of the towerI can smell your fearAnd I know that you know that l am near
8. My Endless Funeral
TimeLike ice now frozenA momentAn eternityEyesUnderneath the surfaceWatchingStaring at youCryOblivion engulfs meLay me downPleasure for youPrayAs a true believerMy soul is lostNothing's left for youTimeLike ice now frozenA momentAn eternityDustAt my endless funeralYour dreamsIn vain comes trueTears will drown youIn pretended grief you gorgeAt my endless funeralThe bells toll for you
9. Psyche
RiseToward the surfaceThrough the eye of the stormYou'll find the wayThe way through the labyrinthSweet LeviathanAcross oceans of timeYou'll find the wayStrideThe path of angelsWatch the shadows danceAlong your wayBehind your backDecompositionFor each step you takeFor each question whyBurned right before your empty eyesScattered around the charred bones lieWings are broken and feathers tornedNo tears will fall for those forlornPale ghosts are risingFrom their shallow gravesTo devour the last of hopesTo make it fade awayPsycheThe ever changing tideThe banner fell in the ashesUpon the field where the victims lieTransformationThe way of the butterflyAs seasons change with reasonThe truth become a lie
10. The Temple of the Worms / Tombworld
Welcome, friends to feast upon the mighty bowels of God - the lateIn putrid stench our supper is served - rejoice and rejuvenate.Eat the sins - the rotten flesh. Devour what's left behind.Erected is our temple grand on plagued ground in your mind.Far from sunlight and deep within the womb of mother earth.The moldy tombs. The dark, damp, rooms where we, deceased, are givenbirth.We praise the sick - the king of death. We salute the lord of germs.Erected is our temple grand - the Temple of the Worms.Inner Sanctum - Sanctum SanctorumWhere flies do gatherThe Temple of the WormsChime the Bells!The Temple of the Worms
