Psalms for the Dead

Spiral staircase... to the center.. of the earth Green lit orb... siar eye... one and first Hidden hole... pit of Jura... Serpent Cult Descending down... steps of bone... greet the old PROPHET PROPHET Where's the manifest of FIRE? PROPHET PROPHET See, his eye is made of stone ALWAYS STARING AT THE SUN Torchlit walk... into the dark...starless deep Black parade... Khaalus cave...breathless steep See, behold... the oracle... the divine We are thy servants 'til the end of time PROPHET PROPHET Where's the manifest of FIRE? PROPHET PROPHET See, his eye is made of stone ALWAYS STARING AT THE SUN We are the guardians of the purple flame Please show us the start of it all... everything The dreams, the way of the dead, the age of stars Give us the birth and the death of eternity Crystal globe... starblack eye... holy void Fill our heads... with godlike threads... Speak in tongues Tell us please... future dreams... cosmic plans Show us the apocalypse, forevermore Oh... Dead prophets come and go... Like dying rainbows in the snow... But no one spoke, no one called Bury the false... Bury them all

The fires... are fading... believe me.. it's so quiet... But the darkness... is breathing... the horde's here... to steal the light! The legions... are marching... they tell me... that they are near The horns... in the twilight... the shadows... that you hear Just when you thought that you were safe A nice life...family..friends The demons are gone without a trace But HELL will speak to you AGAIN... AND AGAIN!! THE SOUND OF DYING DEMONS THE SOUND OF DYING DEMONS So loud you can't take it no more SATAN is standing outside your door EVIL's been waiting for so long The preachers of HELL were right and you were wrong!! You thought the voices were dead ...you didn't listen... THE SOUND OF DYING DEMONS Here to touch your world THE SOUND OF DYING DEMONS Alive... will crush your world

Autumn wind... summers end Leaves and grass is ageing, as the water is as still and dark... as her eyes... Lifeless pond... love is gone Rains and cracks... the church is black Ringing the hollow bells.. time after time... WATERWITCH... WATERWITCH... WATERWITCH... Beauty wild... fathers weep Little child is trapped in witches keep Children play... Sean and Faye All that's good is forgotten Angels tears can't save... the witches prey.. Oh... time is standing still She is coming for the kill Don't be fooled by her charms The witch means death and she means harm WATERWITCH... WATERWITCH... WATERWITCH...

I built a virgin tower, I'm talking to the stars I dream of ancient powers, glimmers in my eyes Four devils guide my steps, and seven clears the way To greatness, feast, excess, back to immortal days I travel with the dragon to learn and tame the beast I rule the pyramids, there's magic in the east To fly and to scheme, and harvest all the dreams That leads to love and holy wars There's evil... evil... EVIL IN MY MIND I turn the secret page, I cross the sands of time I see the kings of Thebe, got richness on my plate The great and fabulous will kneel before my throne I am the son of god, MY MADNESS IS MY OWN

Is there a sun there in your hand? A little light that battles with itself Is there a message in the sand, that tells me how to set the world in flames? Do people cry or is it rain? Do we care... do we count the stains? When will the sunrise stay a day? Laugh and shine, or is it all the same? PSALMS FOR THE DEAD SONG FOR THE LIVING AND A WREATH FOR ABSENT FRIENDS So tell me... fools and trubadours, can a simple stream grow into a flood? A beggar man, become a president? And a sip of wine be shared... and thick as blood? Idols, gods... Dictators and divine, is this the path where blind men lead the blind? What is love, but only a dream...? Those pains and pyres were meant to set us free! When time is gone, the page is turned The door is closed and all is done and said The band has played... the spotlight's burned ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE PSALMS FOR THE DEAD

I can hear the siren wail begin Lovechants that'll bring me everything Step out to the woods or let them in The world goes numb when the sirens sing I see the light high upon the hill I'm drawn towards, I feel the sirens will Have I become a victim of the wild? I wish I could sleep on like a child At the gallows pole Oh, you're swallowed whole THE SIRENS WILL SUCK ON YOUR SOUL The siren pack will feast upon my soul Lick me dry and step over my bones I can't resist, can't refuse no more The sirens they will sing for evermore! Where do the voices of angels come from? deep down below or above? Carols of crystal Serenades of blood Promising ETERNAL LOVE

Time is short... time is endless Time is linear but also a relative factor that moves rather unnoticed from point A to B. Time is a force not to be taken lightly.... Because time never forgets Time heals nothing... Time is a black hole that consumes energy, ambition and love... Time is dangerous! Time... quite frankly... doesn't give a shit! And above all... time is BLACK It is your ENEMY! Time is decline and decay... time is DEATH! It follow you everywhere you go until it inexorably leaves you behind Time counts your every step... every year, month, week and minute... tick tock tick tock... And when the reaper breathes you in the neck... it is there... stealing the very limited precious shares of TIME that are left... Slowly and almost unnoticed... second by second... tick tock tick tock tick tock... it continues the countdown closer to your grave... until it finally STOPS!! TIME IS BLACK!! She's the truth, o hail the Queen The universal binding seem Life and death, every second Kneel, thy majesty is present Time is the sword of destruction A faceless conquerer The master of doom Time will lead me to my grave It never sleep...never saves The queen of time rules us all Will see us rise, will see us fall TIME IS BLACK... BLACK AS THE SUN TIME IS BLACK... BLACK AS WINE BLACK AS TIME BLACK AS TIME
