Ab antiquo
Ab integro
Audi vide
Tace si vis vivere in pace
Why cannot man also fly
We're chained down to the earth
Not like birds in the sky
Soaring from birth
Devices of destruction, Devices of death
Find out their construction
Give them life, give them breath
Which God may I thank
Making art from a canvas blank
Paintings from the holy book
Depicting Christ and the chance he took
Oh, tell me
When will you ever learn
the treu depths of my work
Future is my concern
You know art is my church
Gaze inside the quest of man
And find a new machine
I learn everything I can
Dig it up, cut it clean
Always tried my very best
To find what lies within
Put myself to the test
Judge me not, it's not a sin
Which God may I thank
Making art from a canvas blank
Paintings from the holy book
Depicting Christ and the chance he took
Oh, tell me
When will you ever learn
the treu depths of my work
Future is my concern
You know art is my church
When I'm dead and I'm gone
Will you remember me?
I've seen beyond the sun
Reinventing machines
Ab antiquo
Ab integro
Audi vide
Tace si vis vivere in pace...
3. Playing with Fire
As the Pendulum of time
Smoke is clearing in the aftermath
Finally know the truth, the crime
We're the authors of the epitaph
Playing with fire
You'll get burned
Flames grow higher
You'll never learn
Playing with fire, Fire
Playing with fire, Ah
Playing with fire
Architects of war still rule
Turning white souls into black
Do they really think we're fools
In the end we will play them back
Playing with fire
You'll get burned
Flames grow higher
You'll never learn
Playing with fire, Fire
Playing with fire, Ah
Playing with fire
Playing with fire
You'll get burned
Flames grow higher
You'll never learn
Playing with fire
You'll get burned
Flames grow higher
You'll never learn
Playing with fire, Fire
Playing with fire, Ah
Playing with fire
Fire
4. Stand (The)
It all began with an experiment that failed
Meant for the enemy, unleashed on us
Everything that was on course has been
derailed
We're all caught in the rush
Holding the poison within
This battle no one wins
No
Stand
The Stand
Plague came down on us like a ton of bricks
Generals spilled their bag of tricks
No one left to burn
Captain Trips has taken all
No
Stand
The Stand
Try to understand
The Stand
Like an avalanche roaring over you
Now there is nothing left to do
Stand
The Stand
Try to understand
The Stand
5. Wield My Sword
Crusade after crusade
Defending the faith and the holy light
I come to your aid
Fear not my fair maiden, fear not
I'm set to attack
No demons or dragons
will hold me back
There's strength in my sword
Fall into my arms and I'll take you back
When the cold wind starts to blow
Into battle I shall go
Any tower I will climb
I can fight you folded blind
I would die for my king and my land
But I must die
with my sword in my hand
Raise my cup in honour of the lord
Gives the power I need
to wield my sword
So mush stronger than you
No power, no God cannot heed you
You're my sacrifice
You know in the end
you must pay the price
You are my Prey
I am the slayer, the predator
You'll never grow old
No armour or sword will save your soul
Clash of lance, clash of shield
In the end you must yield
You're a ghost inside my head
I will see you good and dead
I would die for my king and my land
But I must die
with my sword in my hand
Raise my cup in honour of the lord
Gives the power I need
to wield my sword
6. Blue (instrumental)
7. Legion of the Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Deprived of our lives, pushed into war
Our fearless leader lies
He's rotten to the core
As per instruction,
march through no man's land
Machines of destruction,
combat hand to hand
Marching over frozen water
soon reaching the front
Into the merciless slaughter,
on the human hunt
Battling the enemy that we don't know
We're strangers in a strange land
Losing it all we are sinking so low
We're the Legion of the Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Soldiers without faith, fight fire with fire
Don't know why we hate, so we'll die trying
This is madness without end,
are we men or fools
There's no honour to defend,
we obey insane rules
Mortars blowing us to pieces,
hell is breaking loose
Minds all sick full of diseases,
no one sees the truth
Marching over frozen water
soon reaching the front
Into the merciless slaughter,
on the human hunt
Battling the enemy that we don't know
We're strangers in a strange land
Losing it all we are sinking so low
We're the Legion of the Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
When it's said and done, there'll be no victory
They're blocking out the sun
all that's left in misery
Marching over frozen water
soon reaching the front
Into the merciless slaughter,
on the human hunt
Battling the enemy that we don't know
We're strangers in a strange land
Losing it all we are sinking so low
We're the Legion of the Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned
Legion Of The Damned...
8. Deamon Dance
Welcome to the masquerade
The ultimate feast
The party that never fades
Darkness unleashed
As the earth is turning
There's no more romance
As the souls are burning
Deamons will dance
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holding a crucifix
Deamons Dance
They've all been part of this
For thousands of years
Granting the wizards wish
Obey out of fear
Unholy Rites
Leave nothing to chance
In the dead of night
Do the deamons dance
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holding a crucifix
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holding a crucifix
Deamons Dance
Deamons Dance
No, no, no
Deamons Dance
Centuries ago
Unholy sacrifice
Rivers of blood die flow
Deamons arise
As the earth is turning
There's no more romance
As the souls are burning
Deamons will dance
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holding a crucifix
Deamons Dance
No, no, no
Deamon Dance
Ah
9. Hanger 18, Area 51
Beams of light up in the sky
Malfunctioned machinery, lost in time
Don't understand, I'm wondering why
How can this happen its so out of line
Strangers among us
from beyond the stars
Whatever you know keep your silence
Unearthly ones from galaxies afar
There will be violence
They know something
that we don't know
What cannot be seen they'll never show
Hangar 18, Area 51
Hangar 18
For me to recall, they hypnotize
It's all part of investigations
They say that I just fantasize
Just try to explain mutilations
They know something
that we don't know
What cannot be seen they'll never show
Hangar 18, Area 51
We're victims of grad illusion
Now we're lost in mass confusion
Hangar 18, Area 51
Hangar 18
Hangar 18
They know something
that we don't know
What cannot be seen they'll never show
Hangar 18, Area 51
We're victims of grad illusion
Now we're lost in mass confusion
Hangar 18, Area 51
Hangar 18
10. Voodoo Nights
Worshipping the serpent, raising the dead
The wizard's spell is ringing in my head
Once upon a time, and so very far away
and prey
Sacrifice of blood, macabre human feast
Faces in the mud, slayed by the beast
Worshipping the dark, playing with the
dead
Grinning like a shark, deamon in your head
The dead skall rise again, and walk upon
the earth
Wizard's words ring true, death will bring
rebirth
Eternal lies in the serpents eyes
Voodoo spirits walk alive
Macabra sights in the Voodoo Night
Wings of death'll hunt you down
Oh, you know too much, just a little touch
Of the forbidden knowledge
Casting Evil Spells we're children of the
grave
The serpent's raising hell, turn masters into
slaves
Sitting on his throne in temples of doom
His evil powers grown in eternal gloom
If you see the truth, the deamon is unveiled
Leave behind the fools and all of those
who've failed
They will never learn,
no matter how they try
Forever they will burn,
already dead they cannot die
Eternal lies in the serpents eyes
Voodoo spirits walk alive
Macabra sights in the Voodoo Night
Wings of death'll hunt you down
Oh, you know too much, just a little touch
Of the forbidden knowledge, of the for-
bidden knowledge
Casting evil spells,
we'ew children of the grave
Serpents in the depths of hell turn masters
into slaves
Obeying all the rules
won't get you anywhere
Obeying is for fools
and fools are everywhere
They will never learn,
no matter how they try
Forever they will burn,
already dead they'll never die
Never fool yourself,
the magic is too strong
Praying for your life,
you're dead before too long
When it's said and done
the dead will walk the earth
When there's no more sun,
Life, it has no worth
Eternal lies in the serpents eyes
Voodoo spirits walk alive
Macabra sights in the Voodoo Night
Wings of death'll hunt you down
Ah...
If you see the truth, the deamon is unveiled
Leave behind the fools and all of those
who've failed
Sitting on his throne in temples of doom
His evil powers grown in eternal gloom
Never fool yourself,
the magic is too strong
Praying for your life,
you're dead before too long
Yes indeed
