Album • 1998
Yesterday is gone forever No turning back the clock In the end, all is sinful No need to bear the pain The end, is coming soon You can't hold out forever Repent your sins to me Before you pass this world In this time I am law I know you've been betrayed From man's word, I'm given life Through loss, I only gain For you, I feel no sympathy No sorrow, no remorse Confess your sins to me They'll be taken by force (chorus) It doesn't matter what you've done In my words you are a sinner For every word you say to me In every way, you are a sinner Question me not I am the one that binds this world You follow without sight I grow stronger every day Take the souls I have damned Burn them in my name These are the burning times The years of pain

You abuse and you victimize But you’re dignified, so you justify It’s in your eyes where deception lies So you criticize with cruel eyes Father in black, black as sin Pure hypocrisy to no end Condemning me and my fellow man I live my life among the damned I’ve gotta do as you say, not as you do You’re a man of the cloth and I’m coming for you You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin A holy predator, the wolf in sheepskin (See the pain in my eyes) Disciples of the lie Breeding fear in your twisted smile Pedophile, in denial I taste revenge when I think of you A life of hell you put me through When I find you I’ll take you out No remorse, you’re going down You see satisfaction in my eyes I vindicate, now you die I’ve gotta do as you say, not as you do You’re a man of the cloth and I’m coming for you You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin A holy predator, the wolf in sheepskin (See the hatred in my eyes) Disciples of the lie The blackness inside overwhelms me The pain engulfs and turns to rage in me Trapped so deep in my mental hell Release the demons, set me free I’ve gotta do as you say, not as you do You’re a man of the cloth and I’m coming for you You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin A holy predator, the wolf in sheepskin I’ve gotta do as you say, not as you do You’re a man of the cloth, I’m coming straight for you You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin A fucking predator, the wolf in sheepskin (I want to see you die) Disciples of the lie

Listen not to ones who preach Those who feel you’re a freak Everything about you is wrong You must be sick, you don’t belong Father said, worry not what they say Use your mind, your own free will In a time when everyone follows Ignorance can kill They only say what they want you to hear Half-truths have been twisted to conceal your fate In a world of spoon-fed emotion Intelligence can save Stand alone Stand alone! Stand alone! Hear what I say Stand alone Stand alone! Stand alone! You will seize the day Son, say what you mean, don’t be afraid Tell them how you feel, hear what I say Be true to yourself and true to your own Your spirit will crush the hearts of stone Stand alone Stand alone! Stand alone! Hear what I say Stand alone Stand alone! Stand alone! It’s a leap of faith! Stand alone Stand alone! Stand alone! Hear what I say Stand alone Stand alone! Stand alone! You will seize the day!

As human beings, we’re a complex thing Sometimes so beautiful, other times so vain We’ve built an empire, the blood is on our hands Genocide and the chains that bind the consequence ahead Oh... you ought to know Oh... you ought to know Wrote about in history as if it’s all O.K. A race of people murdered, another one enslaved Now our world crumbles, it’s happening within Open your eyes and realize the world we’re living in Oh... you ought to know Oh... you ought to know If we could focus on important things Live and let live true freedom, not everyone’s the same No more war for your god, no more war for your race It’s our world, it’s what we make it Make it a better place Oh... you ought to know Oh... you ought to know Oh, yeah, yeah We can change the world that we’re living in Live and let live true freedom Let the reign begin!

My only comfort is in death, my only solace, my dying breath. For release I have prayed, thrown past life, not afraid. Life's a bitch, life's a whore, nothing less, nothing more. There is nothing she would do for me, I will end this suffering. Existence of one man, hatred with no end. My madness, my sadness, I am my own savior. The voices are calling, out of this life I'm falling. There is one choice that I see, in raging flames the dark one awaits. Existence of one man, hatred with no end. My madness, my sadness, I am my own savior.

There is a place far from her home She strayed her path too long In that wood, she found the stone Lost souls should never look upon At first glance, a lone monolith Lifeless, cold and grey She looked in deep, this timeless relic The lost fall easy prey Come into my world, my child And I will take you home I’m your Reaping Stone Come into my world, my child And I will take you home I’m your Reaping Stone Think not of ones you’ve lost Nor of ones you leave I shall give you strength to pass I will set you free! Come into my world, my child And I will take you home I’m your Reaping Stone Come into my world, my child Never be alone I’m your Reaping Stone

Pure ambition burns in me It’s a beast, never to be tamed And the only peace I can find Is when I’m here with you You are the ones that keep me high You are the ones for which I’ll die Forever we will be standing tall, side by side We’re the children of the night Blessed are you Blessed am I Children of the night Children of the night Blessed are you Blessed am I Children of the night Children of the night So this song is for all of you By my side, through and through We’ll roam that world true and free Feeding you the inner beast You are the ones that keep me high You are the ones for which I’ll die Forever we will be standing tall, side by side We’re children of the night Blessed are you Blessed am I Children of the night Children of the night Blessed are you Blessed am I Children of the night Children of the night Blessed are you Blessed am I Children of the night Children of the night (The storm we ride) Blessed are you (Side by side) Blessed am I (You keep me high) Children of the night (For you I’ll die) Children of the night (Through the storm we ride) Blessed are you (Side by side) Blessed am I (You keep me high) Children of the night (For you I’ll die) Children of the night (Through the storm we ride) Blessed are you (Side by side) Blessed am I (You keep me high) Children of the night (For you I’ll die) Children of the night (Through the storm we ride) Blessed are you (Side by side) Blessed am I

I can see clearly now A painful vision indeed (A painful vision indeed) An attempt at genocide Twelve thousand years of pain (Twelve thousand years of pain) The human thirst for dominance Leads them to Setian ground The gravest of all threats now exists And all galaxies could suffer Imagine the consequence if man does succeed (Lives that will suffer) The universe and all that lives will suffer evermore (Through the time will spread) Like a virus man will spread through the time continuum It's a power they can't comprehend A power we must secure Yeeeaaaaaaaaw! Aaaaaaaaaaaaw! So heed my word A prophecy that's bleak and haunting Acceptance not fear Will pave the way for life returning The Elder foresee In sacred flames, our world is burning Yet more things are clear By grand design, punishment unfolding Faith in the prophecy We'll take this tragedy, unite as one Fate, show man no sympathy Something wicked feeds Thy will be done Ten thousand souls One for every year of framing One of thirteen, the High Priest And the twelve that council Charged with our tome Retribution for our loved ones suffering In secret they'll meet A global network that endures for centuries Faith in the prophecy We'll take this tragedy, unite as one Fate, show man no sympathy Something wicked feeds Thy will be done

I walk the Earth just as they planned Baptized in fire for my ancient land The coming curse, your Antichrist I am the Watcher's eye I vindicate and cleanse the earth of all mankind For many years I've walked among you Through the folds of time and space Kingdoms fall, leaders die as I see fit I devour souls of those that pose a threat I walk the earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, Devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes I bide my time, planning your fate With bated breath, the Elder wait The coming curse, your Antichrist I am the Watcher's eye For your crimes on our kind You all will die I walk the earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, Devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
