In the misty jungles of the Styx Hides the lost city of the dead The ancient tomb of kings The forgotten graveyard of Volusia NECROPOLIS

Through the jungle by the river Styx I've journeyed long and far this day Lurking shadows in the parapets Will never make me turn away Darkened city veiled in crimson mist Entombed in time without decay Never thought it would be like this It feels like I'm living inside a dream But my mind tells me I'm Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Now I know what it's like to be Inside the city of the dead All I think of is breaking free From all the spells chained to my head Sword and axe are my destiny I watch the stars turning blood red There is light yes I've got to believe For this feels like living inside a dream I know now that I am Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis I have seen your cities burning I have felt your daughters yearning For the peace you had before the tides of war I have witnessed funeral pyres Burning bright with man's desire I will fight the demon horde forever more The world is full of mysteries That men have never seen before Magik lives in all dynasties The light of love shines ever more In the crypts of Atlantean Kings I found what I was looking for Magik Trident of Volusia's Sea I know it's like living inside a dream But don't you ever get Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis
For all the sorcery that we have told to thee They call us demons from Hell But they refuse to see being of Satan's league They'll never drink from The Well I'm not burning, look inside Crystal Logic's what you'll find God's Magik shines so bright with Sword of Fire and Light The madness never can win If thee be pure of mind never give up the fight And thou shall not burn in sin I'm not burning, look inside Crystal Logic If Satan comes to thee then thou should call on me And I shall be at thy side For if thee do believe thy soul will be set free God's words ring true in my mind I'm not burning, look inside Crystal Logic's what you'll find We never ever will die 'cause Heavy Metal is life And not eternal hell We always will believe destroying Satan's league We take a drink from The Well I'm not burning, look inside We live in confusion A sign of the times A morbid illusion We deny thee Belial The Holy Mother And the Father of Light Will never refuse us logic Crystal Logic O masters of darkness Beware of our songs For they shall destroy thee And save only the strong There's good and there's evil There's no in between For we shall slay evil with logic Crystal Logic, Crystal Magik, Crystal Logic

What lies in the dungeons Of Holy men's fears For what would kings cower And men drown in tears What brings death and pleasure Growth and decay What makes life worth living Who's the master today That's how the note read Slipped under my door The reason I know not I have to know more A poem to ponder A challenge this night The Riddle Master Wants to master my mind Oh no no no, oh no no no Strange I was chosen The fool divine To battle the master Of riddle and rhyme Another mountain For me to climb I must find the answer Before I run out of time I have no solution My mind blank with fear The riddle has slain me The master is near Another demon Walking the Earth An Angel of darkness Lucifer Oh no no no, oh no no no I can't believe it's true I feel so damn confused All I know is I must carry on and on and on With blazing steel I'll fight The evil in the night Daughter of hell I shall not lose, not to you Then it came to me Just like a waking dream The answer had to be Reality The master does not laugh Defeated by a man Leviathan be damned, yea, yea, yea

Seven-eyed wonder Mystery to man Riding the thunder On God's command Beyond the mountains Lost in the sand The golden statue Of The Ram Look for the lost and you just might find That the cost is your mind Ride the Serpent and make your stand Cast no doubt to The Ram Lost in confusion Time slips away Inside the illusion Hear them say Fight fire with fire Give hell to the damned Long live desire Long live The Ram Look for the lost and you just might find That the cost is your mind Ride the Serpent and make your stand Cast no doubt to The Ram
I sail the seas of negativity To banish evil from this place I fight with sword of fire and lightning I am the guardian come this day I will never put my sword down I will never run away In The Veils of Negative Existence I am the master here to stay My crystal shield will never fail me It can withstand the devil's rain And with the Lords of Light to guide me I bring forth vengeance in their name I will never put my sword down I will never run away In The Veils of Negative Existence I know it's not my mind at play Upon the Island of Damnation The Horde of Hades screams and wails The blood of life and execution Has put back light into the Veils I will never put my sword down I will never run away In The Veils of Negative Existence I am the master here to stay Inside of the darkness Between the planes A tesseract dimension Few know its name On Prydwen, my longship Of silver sails Excalibur at my side We shall not fail

I laid myself down into bed To sleep away the night A vision from inside my head A sun with no sunlight Death would grip humanity A new Solar Ice Age An Earth that no science could save I woke sweat running down my face I never felt so strange To think that this could be our fate To freeze in darkened pain Then sleep brought back the dreams to me Of wars to turn the tide The world committing nuclear suicide Inside this hazy world of dreams I've never known I've seen the wrath come down and turn mankind to stone And then I realized that this be Eschatus A holocaust of flames to burn Midgard to dust It has been called by many names throughout the years Still they all mean the same, man burning in his fears The Anti-Christ will come and rise up through the sea The Dreams of Eschaton have shown this all to me Before the Gods of Hell sentence you to die Remember well my friend a warlord never cries These are the words that I've heard inside my mind When Ragnarok comes down we'll all run out of time I hope that you can see that this is not a game We don't just sing to thee to win fortune and fame The souls of all of us are priceless to the last These dreams could be our fate of living life too fast And so I say to thee watch the skies above For when the darkness falls and rivers turn to blood Then Arthur shall return to fight for peace and truth To slay the beast of hell and save the righteous few Before the Gods of Hell sentence you to die Remember well my friend a warlord never cries These are the words that I've heard inside my mind When Ragnarok comes down we'll all run out of time
