I am the king, of the great islands of grey Windswept and scarred, bent and confused My castle is my ruin, the mouldering grave Where the memory fades along with the mourning cry of the mother Who counts the wounds, who sees the hunger, the flight of denial The fibres the nerves, the raptures and bursts, from arteric to cell Continuously repeating, the hymn of life and death And the holy whore, desecrated in desperation I am the king. The ruler of the grey Islands I'm the emperor of the void I am grey. The weakened ruler of these islands. I'm the emperor of the void I stand before destruction, touching the stone of my realm So dignified...unmerciful, without empathy You saw my birth, an ornament in your grain You see my death, terrible and divine

100 devils, follow me 'round From the craters of chaos to the promised land Thick black choirs, voices to guide me Demon heralds sitting beside me A little seed planted eats through your soul You're not worthy when you're afraid and alone Without warning it starts to grow Spreading sickness inside your bones I am freezing, and I shake How much more of this shit can I take Yes I'm crazy, withg flies in my mind Hellish dreams, escape I must find The devil's round the bend Churns me down with fire And I kill a friend Sorrow, devastation My glasshouse cracks in two Panic, desperation I die for you Devil seed The evil seed is growing The cancer stream is flowing The evil heart is granted Satan's will is planted Still around facing the hopeless Too much pain, and no way out Once again doing the pointless All these voices continue to shout

This monumental sleep With the sunrise at my feet Where's the altar of the gods, the wrath and the floods? All is in vain Of stars and of smoke I am Of shade and of light With dragons in every hand I'm vading through life From nothing I came before, to nothing I go I heard that the wise man said: "From presence to silence...we flow" Of stars and smoke... The rainbows in the sky Soon their colours die I see the birds of prey They've been circling here all day It's always the same We live the eternal dream The big and cosmic scheme A part that we all play To stand the last of days It's all just a game Of stars and of smoke I am Of shade and of light With dragons in every hand I'm fading through life From nothing I came before, to nothing I go I heard that the wise man said: "From presence to silence...we flow"

In my left pocket, spot of all that dies, a cage of the vile. 13 keys, 13 locks, to the sick and strange that calls out to me. I crept through the palace archways Psychotic and deranged oh lord Enchanted and estranged inside It's midnight for days and days and days I took demonia, in a week or two so vicious and cruel. Evil empire, so perverted Expanding, outstanding thrill I crept through the palace archways Psychotic and deranged oh lord Enchanted and estranged inside It's midnight for days and days and days Are the lords of repulsion true oh true? Did you find the demons, did they find you? It's not from eden it's not from hell The evil that's demonia 6 I rise, and then I fall And i walk, and I crawl And i am sore and i am whole Really wonderful, really beautyful, the cloak of the vile My euphoria, got no phobia, I was chained as a child I crept through the palace archways Psychotic and deranged oh lord Enchanted and estranged inside It's midnight for days and days and days Are the lords of repulsion true oh true? Did you find the demons, did they find you? It's not from eden it's not from hell The evil that's demonia 6

Land of thousand needles Land of cripples and lame So much self indulgence And so much shit in my brain The people under the staircase And all the vomit in hell Parading here on my doorstep I just want to get well You walk amongst us, a majesty of wrath Chaos and cleansing, one man world war A mind on kill mode, expressionless face Brain like a child, fuck the human race There in the spotlight you grin And the slaughter of delight begins Oceans of limelight you drink And society falls in a blink You are the destroyer of the world Destroy the destroyer I’m plagued with disease And soon we’ll all be Praying on our knees I am injected, with venom and your piss My life is hatred, I spiral down the abyss A mind on kill mode, expressionless face Brain like a child, fuck the human race And there in the spotlight I grin Let the slaughter of delight begin Oceans and limelight I drink And my dreamworld falls in a blink I am the destroyer of the world

2 ‘o clock, the basement doom shift Afternoon and you dig in the black ditch Comatose, turned off’s the lightswitch Collector of grief, full scale deathwish Everyday, a grey and sad day I dip my love in soul pain And still looking for things to detest Beware of the love that you’ll regret And I’m sitting here with my arms around me, arms around me I’m a bit surprised that you haven’t found me, haven’t found me On top of mount failure, damned and ignored I nurse the depressions….... I know what I’ve lost Anti-social process, with razors in the closet On a suicidal mission, whatever the cost The Lord of grief, there's no relief The Lord of grief Man of shadows The clouds bear your name And your thoughts fade to grey…. With Days in shadow The dark is the same But’s a whole different day for the…..

We sat the sails, in july Knew too well it was final goodbye At the helm, there I stood Like a tree, awaiting the flood Over the sea and under the stars We searched the shores both near and so far Crossed the last line, the rim of the world To find reality, life, death and birth Clearsight....Fearflight....The tears light Clearsight....Sheer night.... Near blight Clearsight....Clearsight....Clearsight Didn't know, what to find There was no water, we could not return Sailed the deserts, of the seas Four years... human debris Over the sea and under the stars We searched the shores both near and so far Crossed the last line, the rim of the world To find reality, life, death and birth Clearsight....Fearflight....The tears light Clearsight....Sheer night.... Near blight Clearsight....Clearsight....Clearsight We fled the shallow, the modern decline The ship of fools, a cursed bark of pine ...compass...dead, as sea and sky met We reached the end at the cliffs of regret HMS Clearsight, ghost of the sea Drifting the oceans forever unfree Into the storms, the rain and the mist We still sail the dreams from the deepers grave there is Clearsight....Fearflight....The tears light Clearsight....Sheer night.... Near blight Clearsight....Clearsight....Clearsight Twilight.... Twilight.... Twilight

Blood runs free, down the river I'm the weeper, the life beriever I cross the Styx, with coins...onyx Without the trumpets and horns and pyres (The) final curtain, death is certain Harpys sing, my soul is hurting Razors, rope, mountains of dope Does it matter, there's no hope Empracing the Styx Life is floating out, wave after wave Empracing the Styx I sail with Charon this day Embracing the Styx Life is floating out, wave after wave Embracing the Styx Me, my wrists and a blade In times of eternal darkness In times of peace and embrace When the minstrel of atrophy mock us There's need for love and there's need for death Too late for understanding Too late for your tears I wait for the last descending To the opal city and the flaming stairs I surrender, I return to dust It must end here, in daze and dusk So I cry, for all of us And I smile, as I die....................... A small breeze in time Waiting and waiting, for a moment of truth and a sun Dreaming and dreaming, 'til the dreams were crushed by our hands (smothered to sand) Great thoughts of a triumphing giant Was given these goldenbrown wings A man who was an ant and a lion Died on the isle of the king
I'm sitting here alone in darkness, waiting to be free Lonely and forlorn, I am crying I long for my time to come, death means just life Please let me die in solitude Hate is my only friend, pain is my father Torment is delight to me Death is my sanctuary, I seek it with pleasure Please let me die in solitude Receive my sacrifice, my lifeblood is exhausted No one gave love and understanding Hear these words, vilifiers and pretenders And please let me die in solitude Earth to earth, ashes to ashes And dust to dust Earth to earth, ashes to ashes And dust to dust Sitting here alone in darkness, waiting to be free Lonely and forlorn, I am crying I long for my time to come, death means just life Please let me die in solitude, yeah Earth to earth, ashes to ashes And dust to dust Earth to earth, ashes to ashes And dust to dust Earth to earth, ashes to ashes And dust to dust Earth to earth, ashes to ashes And dust to dust And please let me die in solitude

Sunrise, I greet you, the beauty of your light So warm and tender was never the night In tears, I see you, the last time it will be So give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny No rest for the sinner Hypnos refused me my sleep This was the last night of my life With wine, I pondered on my deeds I drank to the devil with servants It's good with a friend, where you go No one would share my last chalice So I drink to the ones that I know Ring brother, ring for me Ring the bells of hope and faith Ring for my damnation I am at the gallows end With sad emotions, I sing this epitaph My swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stands Only the vultures will come to see me hang Behold the sight of my Golgatha The gallows enlightened by the moon Proud of his art are the carpenter His creation, a tool for my doom I am the outcast, no winner I am the fallen, the one That lived all his life as a sinner The tempter has called me his son Ring brother, ring for me Ring the bells of hope and faith Ring for my damnation I am at the gallows end Soon, it is time, the dark has now fled And I see the place for my death The priest, he will pray for my lost soul I'm sure he's wasting his time A sinner, a fool, or a devil? Or just a victim of life? It's no fun to burn in hell's fire But I sure have enjoyed my life Ring brother, ring for me Ring the bells of hope and faith Ring for my damnation I am at the gallows end
