Betrayal at the Sea
05:23
|
|||
for many years now did we ride
always together side by side
so many battles along our way
then out of the blue
you chose to betray me
but what you didn't realize
is that i somehow would survive
regained my powers by dark angel's grace
i'll make you regret
'til the end of days
betrayal at the sea
what have we come to be?
when blind trust dies
in unholy lies
i will strive for revenge

Avenging Angel
03:59
|

half a life ago when she was still a child
her father came to her every other night
told her not to scream
told her not to fight
ten years afterwards the warden made his move
lured her to his room right beneath the roof
tied her to his bed
banished her to dread
now she's there upon the hill
grinding her teeth into her knife
hands all smeared in blood of her enemies
hid the truth so many years
living a bleak and painful life
now she's avenging angel
avenging angel
she's an avenging angel
avenging angel - sacrificing blood
killed her father and the warden long ago
nonetheless she's still on a mission though
hunting down her prey
dark knight so to say
retribution sets her eagerness ablaze
every time she looks into a scumbag's face
feeding on their fears
reclaiming her tears

Lord of Demise
04:46
|
|||
why am i here again
still drowning in lies
hysteria glistening
in vicious eyes
unbeknown, yet again
familiar place
lost my way home long ago
still trying to retrace
howling dervish deep within
relentlessly craving for sin
wearing bleak nightmares so proud
spinning around and laughing out loud
is the lord of demise still alive?
will your hatred within arise?
does your inner self still strive for life?
i have seen the other side
in my dark subconscious mind

Estranged
04:59
|
|||
burning the forests
scorching the earth
poisoning the plants for money
for what it's worth
some blindly follow the pied piper
cheering at innocent people's deaths
no more common sense nor empathy
is it only me or has the whole damn
world gone crazy
all over the world empathy seems lost
feeling more and more estranged each day
trying to ignore and never care too much
given up on society
idiots craving power
self-righteous to the core
ignoring every implication
always wanting more
and more and more
people are left so far behind
have you still not given up
on humankind?

Edge of Time
05:26
|
|||
cities overgrown with trees
rivers running down the streets
traces of our reckless reign
washed away by summer rain
i have seen the end of the world and feel fine
i have been at the edge of time
i have seen the end of human kind
nature will survive
we're banned from paradise
eagles soaring through the air
vibrant colors everywhere
in the year 4023
nature's blooming splendidly
we all stand at the brink of existence
our tale is coming to an end
fever will kill mother's children
mark my words, it's all built on sand

Shadows Within
03:38
|
|||
i have a fear
that my shadows will return
i can feel them coming
i am afraid
that my world will tear and burn again
hear the war drums humming
i must fight with all my powers
have to bring down the shadows within
i will fight with all my powers
i will bring down the shadows within
so many times
to hell and back i've been by now
know my way around there well
always returned
and had build on what i've learned down there
still i fear those demons
i still remember what it was like
when the sun didn't ever shine
i was lost in the darkest night
but i found the spirit to survive

Another Fallen Saviour
04:57
|
|||
here again at this place i hate
nothing's changed, it's still the same
smell of fear is all around
better leave, make no sound
eradicate the future
exterminate the past
no more machination will
remain at last
utterly betrayed with a jesters crown
you'll see me leaving
no more regrets
i've paid the price for your deceit
dead and gone forever
in the darkness of december
another fallen saviour
no more falling for your lies
midnight hour - it's done, i know
former friend became a foe
rather a painful end to this misery
than selling out my whole identity
looking for believers
to sooth your suffering mind
i surely paid a high price for
being this blind
for one last time
your empty words
and hours wasted
i curse the day
you've crossed my path
abase myself again
as if the water
you serve was wine
your two-faced soul
i leave behind

Finally Free
05:17
|
|||
waking from sleep
with a lighthearted feel
surprisingly strong
yet still so surreal
finally free
and it seems to me
there never was
a better time to be
decades of trying
ages of doubt
learning at last what it means
to be living without
i never thought that this day would ever come
already ceased believing
all hope was lost
every gleam of light was gone
suddenly i was imbued with life
out of nowhere came this angel of the dark
saved me as i was close to disembark
raised my spirits higher than they've ever been
magic words and powers i've never seen
waking from sleep
with a lighthearted feel
surprisingly strong
but no longer surreal
finally free
and it seems to me
there never was
a better time for me to be
