"If I Could See You"

"If I Could See You"


Where can I turn?
You’ve gone away
I grieve in silence
So much I’ve learned to life today
Still I need your guidance

You always found words to say
To ease my troubled mind.
Now you’re gone.
I feel alone.
If I could see you one more time

If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way
If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way

Where can I turn?
You’ve gone away
I need your words of wisdom
Sometimes I’m lost and in the rage
Taking things for granted

You were the one who did believe
When no one else could see
If I could share what’s on my mind
If I could see you one last time

If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way
If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way

If I could see you now
You’d help me find my way
I’ll find the strength somehow
I’ll fight to seize the day

"Im-Ho-Tep (Pharoah's Curse)"

"Im-Ho-Tep (Pharoah's Curse)"


Time is the bond of mortal life
Isis with the scroll of life
Raised her love Osiris from the dead
Live can transcend the mortal coil
With this script, the high priest of
The Pharaoh commits his sacrilege
Death is but a threshold
To another life, you will arrive
With this power
You shall live again, there is no end
You'll live again...

Love was the curse upon my soul
For it I would risk salvation
And utilize the scroll to save this one
Time is the sentence for my sin
Three thousand years my angry soul's
Been trapped inside this tomb of my condemn.

Death is but a threshold
To another life, I will arrive
With this power
I shall live again, there is no end.
I'll live again

Dawn shines a light on pain untold
Scarred from the millennia
The heart that beats inside my chest is cold
Rise, I'm rising from these sands of time
By the scarab's power I am given strength
With hate in hand, this misery I drink

Death is but a threshold
To another life, I will arrive
And with this power
I shall live again, there is no end
This pain won't end

"In Jason's Mind"

"In Jason's Mind"


He's the creeper in the night
He's the reaper with a knife
He wears a mask to hide his face
He's always ready for the chase
Killing for the vengeance
Of his mothers death
He's got murder on his breath
Run from the creeper
Hide in the night
His knife is plunging deeper
He's got you wrapped up tight

Creeper in the night
Reaper With a knife
Creeper take your life
Reaper With a killing bite

Down in the lake
He's gaining his strength
His vision is blurred
His mind is obscured
From behind a tree
Or underneath your bed
He's looking for you
He'll cut off your head
Behind his mask
He lies in wait
His mind is obsessed
He's gone insane
only to know the look in his eyes
The pain and the fear
And the tast of spite

Creeper in the night
Reaper With a knife
Creeper take your life
Reaper With a killing bite

"Infiltrate And Assimilate"

"Infiltrate And Assimilate"


We must be swift
Integrating with man
Instating the vision of the Master Plan
We'll placate the humans in need

Their form we have taken
Their tongue we can speak
Plotting and planing, total secrecy
We'll infiltrate and take the lead

Misery unfolding for the rest of time
A world that they created for their vicious crimes

This is the start of
What is meant to be
Infiltrate, Assimilate, fulfill our destiny

The ten thousand chosen
Charged with our creed
Ensuring division in societies
Instate the Domino Decree

Lead them to wander
New land, 'cross the seas
Creating new cultures, fascist or free
Division will bring them to their knees

Misery unfolding for the rest of time
A world that they created for their vicious crimes

This is the start of
What is meant to be
Infiltrate, Assimilate, fulfill our destiny

"Iron Will"

"Iron Will"


Alone… Oh I know your lost and trying to find your way
You have been betrayed… led astray
Anger… Stirs inside and is tearing you apart
Beating from this cold and broken heart
You are stoned
You will stand and fight this emptiness and pain
Cast away your suffering, seize the day
Fire… Extinguish the flames that haunt your mind
Take control of your life
[Chorus:]
You are strong, in your soul
Overcome the trials and tribulations
Live your life, take control
You have broken through the threshold
[Guitar solo]
You have won, oh the battle deep within your soul is done
Troubles washed away, a brand new day
Focused… you have overcome challenges of life
You are the life you will survive
[Chorus]

"Jack"

"Jack"


I... I am a bastard son
Conceived of a hundred men
Now I'm the Chosen One
Back, looking back
Father William called me Johnny
But my mother called me Jack

I... I scream out to you
As I see them take you
Hell, it put me through
You... you gave me life
Then ripped out my emotion
And replaced it with a knife

I cut you once, I cut you twice
You're my midnight sacrifice
You shamed me... you shame God
You scream my name, and now you're gone

I've seen the rain wash over you a thousand times
Your flesh summons me
God knows why
Repent your sins to me

Now... you're no different now
Still the same, the Devil's whore
Lilith on the prowl
I... I've got something for you
I know what real pain is
And you will too

I cut you once, I cut you twice
You're my midnight sacrifice
You shamed me... you shame God
You scream my name, now you're gone

"Jeckyl & Hyde"

"Jeckyl & Hyde"


What's the reason for me to be this way?
I'm lying on the floor
I've broken through some door
I don't know how I came to this
There is blood lust in my eyes
And someone in my mind saying
I have forced you here
I'm hiding, right here inside you
Trapped in here so long
You'll find me growing in every man
Who is this that speaks to me?
Tearing down my mind
My reality
This must certainly be the one
What will I pay for this?
This evil synthesis!
I'm out of control
Evil takes my soul
I can feel you inside me
You're not stronger than me
I won't let you
No, you can't have me!
I won't let you destroy me
You took away my life
With your wicked seed
If you're able to take control
You'll bring damnation upon my soul

"Last December"

"Last December"


The howling winds blow
On this moonlit night
Eyes locked in fear
With a dark embrace
The bitter cold winds
Freeze the tears that fall
Hands held in grace
As we take the final step

Obsessed with our love
Here is our fate
To need the final call
On this special winter day
A message to our elders
They surely won't forget
Our love must last forever
In death we shall not part

It seems like only yesterday
Our lives together planned
They say it's just a passing phase
We're damned by our youth
Why does no one understand
What we have is real

This is not your average love it's forever

Last December
Mother you have forced us here
Last December
Father now we'll disappear
Last December
One last step we fade away

So we take the final step
Heed the final call
Together we are strong
Divided we must fall
Teenage suicide
Our only way out
Together we might live
Divided we must fall

Last December
Mother you have forced us here
Last December
Father now we'll disappear
Last December
One last step we fade away

"Life And Death"

"Life And Death"


I came into this world
A screaming infant
Forced entry into this life
As I grow the pain sustains
Deep inside my soul
Visions come and visions go
But hate will never leave me
As I grow the pain sustains
Deep inside my soul
Visions come and visions go
But hate will never leave me
Life and death never again
I shall not return
Soul sucking pious man
I shall not return
The reflection, an aging soul
My body's old and cracked
Death soon will be with me
Coldness, inactive pain
Soul sucked at the speed of light
Trapped in someone else
No please not again
Evil reincarnated
The cycle's spun once more
Soul sucked at the speed of light
