Dark thoughts rise up
Deep in your mind The killing of hope The end has begun The locked psycho-door breaks down The beast breathes freedom and fire Blows bloody thoughts into your mind Demons whisper: "COMMIT SUICIDE!" Weak is your body, Helpless your soul, The beast destroyed your will Left nothing but an empty shell Self-destruction leads its way Your weapons turn against yourself Cutting through, killing you A downward spiral, the shadowbeast has won The shadowbeast calls A vulture of life Your worst enemy dwells From within |

Dark shadows from above
Ravens fly, obliterate the sun "It's a sign of the devil. He will come for his servant tonight" These are dark times Suspicious minds breed like rats Guardians of corrupt morality Spread their filthy lies Am I to burn I have not sinned! Burnt at the stake. Innocent blood that can never be wished clean The flames of ignorance Grow higher and higher Licking my flesh - burning my soul The raven laughing in the moon These are dark times Suspicious minds breed like rats. Guardians of corrupt morality Spread their filthy lies again... |

You can't kill me. I am living inside you.
I am a part of your existence Twisted thoughts in a twisted mind Provoking you Black is my heart - dark is my soul My hatred I can not control Evil seed growing stronger Your freewill... Dying! Inside you - heart of darkness A part of you - heart of darkness To deny me, is to deny yourself. The illusion is dissolved You are no longer in control The facade crumbles - the transition is complete ...The transition is complete I come to you in the night I am your dark subconscience I keep you awake, knowing I am the heart of darkness |

Rising from the ashes Like a phoenix to the sky So intense, so glorious...

In the dust of past mistakes Leaving for the darkness Of tears and cold heartaches Suffer in this grief Of forever burning hate The ashes of my life By the torment you create On my knees... remembering The wasted years of dark insanity The rage increases fast As the memories eat me alive God, I wish this to end But I'm not prepared to die No more a human being Just a fool of anxiety Unable to escape The darkest insanity |

Spiritual Isolation - The ultimate frustration
Scratch the surface, tuurn another page The ugly truth or another pretty lie You deceived me, I believed you Why did everything go... So wrong... For so long... So the truth comes out at last I'm dead inside (I'm burning up) A hollow shell (My private hell) In my own misery You leave me to dwell Then we were young and strong Now everything is wrong Did you want me, did you need me Could you not say you believed me? Everything we had is gone... Like an old forgotten song The deceiver and believer Now everything is... So wrong... for so long. |

An eternal struggle for the holy truth We are not the first, nor shall we be the last We shall be followed by thousands more Study the scriptures - Intensify the faith The works of men much greater than you or I From the cradle to the grave Thousands of immortal souls just waiting to be saved! Pilgrim man - What are you searching for? Believe the tales when everything else fails Pilgrim man - Deep in your heart you know Your faith is already bought and sold All my life I served the cross Always believing my God was a just one I maimed for you - I killed for you But looking back at my life I just don't know anymore... |

Hideous crimes, atrocities The slaughter of millions - beyond belief Those were dark times, so different from now The law of evil ruled our fatherland I was but a pawn in their game Why should I feel any guilt? Still when I close, close my eyes The words unfold, it all comes back I can't defy it, can't deny it I know it ot be true In my sleep - they come to haunt me They know it to be true Tears of the dead We are all on the turning wheel of fate A young man, standing proud in uniform I never stopped to hesitate Until it was far to late My hands are soiled, covered in blood Stains that never wash away Their hollow eyes... Confronting me - Judging me Now an old man, at the end of my days Contemplating - My life of sin Living is never simple - the rosad is hard I had no say - just a puppet in a sick play |

Inside you Heart Of Darkness A part of you Heart Of Darkness. I come to you in the night I am your dark sub-conscience I keep you awake, knowing I am the Heart Of Darkness. [Long Instrumental Break:] Inside you Heart Of Darkness A part of you Heart Of Darkness. I come to you in the night I am your dark sub-conscience I keep you awake, knowing I am the Heart Heart Of Darkness! |

Where enemies turn into flesh This is the abyss I fear the most I feel their eyes staring at me Waiting with Carnivorous patience The memory is timeless For all they know I must succumb sometime A solemn cry Rises to the sky As heavy wings blacken out The morning sun With infinite darkness Am I dreaming or am I dead Waiting with Carnivorous patience The memory is timeless For all they know I must succumb sometime In search for my heart Lost in this hell The vultures are soaring above Tearing me apart In search for my heart Lost in this hell The vultures are soaring above Tearing me apart Screaming voices in my head A sudden pain in The deadly silence Devouring the remains Of my heart I can feel it dying Waiting with carnivorous patience The memory is timeless For all they know I must succumb sometime In search for my heart Lost in this hell The vultures are soaring above Tearing me apart In search for my heart Lost in this hell The vultures are soaring above Tearing me apart Picking at the Bones of my soul Left me dead inside The more I gave The more they took Left me dead inside Left me..

On deathrow awaiting my fate Sacrificed upon the altars of justice Part of the ritual of ultimate fear Determined men prepare to slay Executioners axe draws near On my way to depart from life Lost all sense, all the gallows I will die! Let the killing begin Let the end your life of sin Feel the torment within As the beauty of death sets in Counting the days, the sleepless nights Wide awake in a state of lunacy Voices echo inside my head Haunting memories, punishing me Through a tunnel of madness These endless catacombs Left to die in a pit of confusion Swept away by a wave of illusion |

Still when I close, close my eyes The words unfold, it all comes back I can't defy it, can't deny it I know it ot be true In my sleep - they come to haunt me They know it to be true Tears of the dead We are all on the turning wheel of fate A young man, standing proud in uniform I never stopped to hesitate Until it was far to late My hands are soiled, covered in blood Stains that never wash away Their hollow eyes...

So long since I tasted fear Lurking in the darkest holes Awaiting my minds weakest moment Old words from an old world Against the laws of nature They say the truth is overrated Wall of anger corrupts my thought Standing at the bridge of destiny Show me a sign On the verge of losing my sanity Free my soul My inner demons torture me Flapping their wings in my face Damn you! You twisted illusion I am no longer afraid See through their liquid souls Evil eyes that will hypnotize You can no longer hurt me I am my own worst enemy Unleash the trapped souls of the dead Spirits since long forgotten Guardians fo the lost faith Destined for glory? Watch them all turn into sand And the wind blow them away Wisdom pours into my soul ...endlessly... |

Pilgrim man - What are you searching for? Believe the tales when everything else fails Pilgrim man - Deep in your heart you know Your faith is already bought and sold All my life I served the cross Always believing my God was a just one I maimed for you - I killed for you But looking back at my life I just don't know anymore...

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before its too late. Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live. aces high. Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again. Bandits at 8 oclock move in behind us Ten me-109s out of the sun Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high. |
