"Diary"

"Diary"


Mine is pure darkness
It is as blackness is
Damn the light which comes from
You as a moth to flame I burn
In the twilight of morning I rest my weary eyes
For the benefits of the nights bounty were many
My soul has been redeemed (with those of others)
I missed my love tonight
Hiding behind the figure I cannot bare to face
That of a dead profit
And his beast of burden
Thorns ripping through his brow
Skin soft and white, eyes fire and ice
Just as I recall
Not longer than nine score
Certainly food for the gods
And fit for a prince
Her throat I'll have it now
I will have her, she is mine
Rise of the sun, my test of time
And when shadows fall on unholy ground
It's time to sleep again
As consciousness slips into blackness
I rise to nights warm embrace
And though my blood runs cold
I know my love will be alone
And my mortal heart shall beat again
Like it did ten thousand years ago
Forbidden love can only taste this sweet
Not like the others so incomplete
The symbolic arrow that pierces my heart
Takes the shape of a wooden stare
Now I am the one crucified
For her immortal heart I'd give my own
And die for mankind's sins
But that is not the nature of this beast
I am denied
I will have her, she is mine
Rise of the sun, my test of time
When shadows fall on unholy ground
I will make her mine

"Disciples Of The Lie"

"Disciples Of The Lie"


You abuse and you victimize
But you're dignified, so you justify
It's in your eyes where deception lies
So you criticize with cruel eyes
Father in black, black as sin
Pure hypocrisy to no end
Condemning me and my fellow man
I live my life among the damned
I've gotta do as you say, not as you do
You're a man of the cloth, I'm comin' for you
You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin
A holy predator, the wolf in sheepskin
Disciples of the lie
Breeding fear in your twisted smile
Pedophile, in denial
I taste revenge when I think of you
A life of hell you put me through
When I find you I'll take you out
No remorse, you're going down
You see satisfaction in my eyes
I vindicate, now you die
I've gotta do as you say, not as you do
You're a man of the cloth, I'm comin' for you
You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin
A holy predator, the wolf in sheepskin
Disciples of the lie
The blackness inside overwhelms me
The pain engulfs and turns to rage in me
Trapped so deep in my mental hell
Release the demons, set me free
I've gotta do as you say, not as you do
You're a man of the cloth, I'm comin' for you
You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin
A holy predator, the wolf in sheepskin

"Divide And Devour"

"Divide And Devour"


Through the folds of time I forge the way
Messiah to my own and sent to slay
I am pure embodied rage
Made of a million souls that dearly paid
The icy pulse that's pumping' through my veins
Sanctifies the end of human ways
I am pure embodied rage
Born of a million souls unjustly slain
[Chorus:]
I am the weapon that strikes
In the hearts of man I thrive
Feeding their fear with lies
I will devour I will divide
I am the god of hellfire
Inside of every man there lives a liar
Before their gods they cower
I will divide I will devour
Antichrist or harbinger of fate
Prophet and priest born of the ancient rage
I will assassinate their way
Annihilation of the human race
[Chorus:]
I am the weapon that strikes
In the hearts of man I thrive
Feeding their fear with lies
I will devour I will divide
I am the god of hellfire
Inside of every man there lives a liar
Before their gods they cower
I will divide I will devour

"Dracula"

"Dracula"


Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in destiny?
True love may come only once in a thousand lifetimes...
I too have loved... they took her from me.
I prayed for her soul... I prayed for her peace
When I close my eyes
I see her face, it comforts me
When I close my eyes
Memories cut like a knife
The blood is the life, and Christ I defy.
My sworn enemy... birth of a new creed.
Is this my reward for serving God's own war?
The blood I've spilled for faith fulfilled.
To damn her, a disgrace, you spit back in my face.
I served you loyally, and you spew blasphemy.
I avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life
There are far worse things awaiting man than death
Come taste what I have seen
I'm spreading my disease
I will feed upon His precious child
The human race will bleed, they will serve my need.
I avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life
I am the Dragon of blood, the relentless prince of pain
Renouncing God off His throne
My blood is forever stained
For true love I shall avenge
I defy the creed that damned her

"Dragon's Child"

"Dragon's Child"


Since the dawn of time, he's been here
Forgotten son, testing all our fears
Nature's mistake, he sees no end
The dragon's child, walks among man

For centuries past, many tribes know the tales
Of men not returning, when they've gone there
And those who've returned, can't describe what they've seen
Their hair has turned white, and they've gone insane

Oh, beware the blackened water
The creature has come to take you away
Oh, beware unholy water
On this dying day

"Dystopia"

"Dystopia"


Enter the nightmare
This future does implode
A techno city-state
A prison, nothing more
Rounded up like cattle
You're forced into the trains
Nothing that you've ever known
Will bring you so much pain
[Pre-chorus]
If you try to resist me
You'll find me inhumane
But if you just submit
You'll live your life a slave
You'll love your servitude
We'll medicate your pain
With our technology
We'll always keep you safe
Micro-chipped like dogs
Their thoughts are not their own
All that's left of human kind
Is now in their control
Planned out through centuries
Patient and contrived
Played on man's naiveté
Gullible and blind
[Pre-chorus]
If you try to resist me
You'll find me inhumane
But if you just submit
You'll live your life a slave
You'll love your servitude
We'll medicate your pain
With our technology
We'll always keep you safe
[Chorus]
The nightmare unfolds before my eyes
I will resist 'til end of time
A spirit born free
Has to break these chains
We're lost, we must find our way
We'll find our way!
They say that you're a danger
To everything that's pure
There are too many of you
They're offering the cure
Swift extermination
If you refuse the game
Arrested development
Your vaccinated fate
[Pre-chorus]
If you try to resist me
You'll find me inhumane
But if you just submit
You'll live your life a slave
You'll love your servitude
We'll medicate your pain
With our technology
We'll always keep you safe
[Chorus]
The nightmare unfolds before my eyes
I will resist 'til end of time
A spirit born free
Has to break these chains
We're lost, we must find our way
We'll find our way!

"End Of Innocence"

"End Of Innocence"


Through the essence of your smile
Makes this fight all worth while
Oh' the perseverance of your life
There you were by my side
Giving me strength through your love and pride
She says carry on, carry on
Oh the stars they shine so bright
Are they there for you and I'
I know you'll see the light
[Chorus]
Carry on, be strong my son
This is the end of innocence
Carry on, when I'm gone
This is the end of innocence
This is the end my friend
Sacrifice is all we have
Finding solace in your laugh
The freedom will ease your pain
Washing tides and seasons change
Things will never be the same
Oh' she says carry on, carry on
[Chorus]
Carry on, be strong my son
This is the end of innocence
Carry on, when I'm gone
This is the end of innocence
This is the end

"Equilibrium"

"Equilibrium"


Inject and suppress the human feeling
Love, hate, and sorrow leads us to eradication
Mankind survives, to see another lifetime
What is the final price our people will be paying'
Our lives so colorless and ruled with false devotion
Destroying anything that triggers our emotion
The enemy is one who feels the world around them
Interrogated, now they're facing their own judgment
[Chorus]
Destroying our stimuli
Force us too defy all that is human
The serum keeps us pacified
Stand to feel alive
Our instinct will take over
Annihilation of our feeling
Emancipation our minds healing
Determination defines existence
Eradicate with our resistance
If people awake they'll be free from this daydream
Human instinct will break through and keep us feeling
We will not medicate, their grasp will surely crumble
Take back humanity and devastate their power
[Chorus]
Destroying our stimuli
Force us too defy all that is human
The serum keeps us pacified
Stand to feel alive
Our instinct will take over

"Framing Armageddon"

"Framing Armageddon"


Centuries pass step by step
Revelations coming threat
Sand of time dark intent
Divise creeds breeds discontent
Prophecy, stars collide
Born is he who turns the tide
Ancient rage, vehemence
Indignation and torment
Dark equation, astrology
Armageddon, the reckoning
Revelation, astral beast
Armageddon, the reckoning
Shallow views, intolerance
Jewish, Muslim, Protestant
The root of man's insolence
Lies in fear and arrogance
A valid threat if they unite
Moses, Muhammad, Jesus Christ
Born of man with second sight
Twist their words we will divide
Dark equation, astrology
Armageddon, the reckoning
Revelation, astral beast
Armageddon, the reckoning
If humans learn what's truly at stake
And of the birth of Set Abominae
Their primitive minds, a maddened state, no
Frame it as the Elder deemed
Frame it our way
Framing Armageddon!
Framing Armageddon!
Framing Armageddon!
Framing Armageddon!

"Frankenstein"

"Frankenstein"


A mastermind in the old watchtower
Prying eyes must never find.
Playing God in the final hour
Insanity, such a fine line
Overwhelmed by the mourning process
And the loss of his dearly loved
The Doctor's work is now obsession
What is life? What's beyond?
He wants to know what it's like to be God
Creating life with his own hands
To reanimate lifeless tissues
The Devil's work, the doctors plan
A man of wealth and a genius mind
A slave to passion and his morbid side
Robbing graves of the nearly dead
Erratic tendencies, a troubled mind
I will create in my own image
If God can then why can't I?
No thought of the consequences
I've got to know the meaning of life
Lightning strikes, it's the witching hour
The monstrosity comes alive
A victim of man's vanity
Born in delirium, a deranged child
He turns his back on his own creation
Chaos ensues, the innocent die
Who's the monster?
Who's the victim?
Crucify!!! Crucify!!!
