Trapped in the Shadows

Haunted by dreams of the past Blinded by darkness the altar is calling Sodom is rising from dust To poison our souls Look at the man on the cross Where is your God now the angels have fallen? There is no shelter for us No future for mankind You will scream in silence: "No guidance from above!" In the valley of the dead You will rise This is the march of madness We've passed the point of no return When we all stare down the abyss Come taste the fire now and burn Countdown to total collapse The fight will go on 'til the last man is standing Yet a collective relapse Of manic abuse Wounded we stand at the gate Tortured by angels and blessed by the demons Sentenced to anger and hate The future of mankind You will scream in silence: "No guidance from above!" In the valley of the dead You will rise This is the march of madness We've passed the point of no return When we all stare down the abyss Come taste the fire and burn

There comes a time When all must face And wipe away the filth of the human race To redefine What we've become And to restore order not to suffocate Am I alive Because I hate Have I the right to alter another's fate I realize what we've become Can we restore order not to suffocate I'm watching a world of decay Lost forever The time has come to roll the dice Fight! The hunger The taste of blood Riders of the dark Through endless days and nights I've tried to master the pain Gaze beyond the spite Before we've all gone insane You don't know what I've sacrificed I've seen the hate with my own eyes I take the world and paint it black To cover up and make us blind I'm watching a world of decay Lost forever The time has come to roll the dice Fight! The hunger The taste of blood Riders of the dark

I am the master of your nightmares Touching your mind Infecting your soul Taste of pollution Poison running through your veins Fighting the internal pain I hear him calling My enemy, a silent scream in agony One step from falling I hear him calling out my name Trapped in the shadows Enlightened by darkness Guided by demons For eternity A strong desire of a vengeance Growing inside Take back what was mine Retaliation for the years I've been astray Fed up with this mental decay I hear him calling My enemy, a silent scream in agony I hear him calling out my name Trapped in the shadows Enlightened by darkness Guided by demons For eternity Still hear him calling My enemy, a silent scream in agony One step from falling I hear him calling out my name Trapped in the shadows Enlightened by darkness Guided by demons For eternity

I see a darkened sky The sun has fallen Forsaken for all eternity Time to unveil the lie Reveal the mass deceivers Believers misled for centuries A rootless cry In vain you die You should have known it You should have told it We are invincible You should have known it Forever dethroned it We are invincible Grace in the night Worn down of spite Angels will fall from the sky Preacher of lies Devil in disguise Feeding on preys of his life You should have known it You should have told it We are invincible You should have known it Forever dethroned it We are invincible Is this the path that we must go The end that we all know It has begun, all's said and done Now everyone will gain Laughter and pain Is this the path that we must go The end that we all know It has begun, all's said and done Now everyone will claim Fortune and fame I fold my hands to the sky And scream an endless "why?" What if there isn't a God Then what is left of us? You should have known it You should have told it We are invincible You should have known it Forever dethroned it We are invincible

Neglected and shaped out of treason Tormented by evil and agony A victim let down for no reason Abandoned - the system has failed Left out in the cold On the edge of sanity You are a man-made devil Rejected, betrayed and forsaken Degraded by gossip and calumny An offspring whose childhood was taken Mistreated and left in disgrace Left out in the cold On the edge of sanity Man-made devil Beyond the violence lays despair Man-made devil Searching for answers to his prayer Try, walk the line Though you're battered and hurt Fight for your life As you're dying internally While the sun is setting The bells begin to chime Condemned to eternal darkness For the nature of his crime Man-made devil Beyond the violence lays despair Man-made devil Searching for answers to his prayer Devil

Child, I'm the war in your soul tonight And the spirit that haunts your mind When you fall on your knees and pray Pray for your life Touching the ground of the liar Watching him light the fire You gaze at the sky And ride upon the lie The time of the sinner is now Time to die Caught in the fire Make me shed blood, decry, obey The silent messiah Caught in the fire Make me shed blood, decry, betray In silence of God Cry, there's a cold winter storm outside Where the blind is leading the blind Feel the flame in the wind of death And take your last breath Touching the ground of the liar Watching him light the fire You gaze at the sky And ride upon the lie The time of the sinner is now Time to die Caught in the fire Make me shed blood, decry, obey The silent messiah Caught in the fire Make me shed blood, decry, betray In silence of God

Living in a dream of illusionary fantasies Below a silent sun and I don't know where I am All alone - lost in barren land Faceless in this dream I am standing here in front of you I'll guide you on your path if only pure of mind Follow me - a journey so divine The pain of a soul A way of salvation The end of the world A slave of creation Pass the Gates of hell as we walk beyond all sanity The punishments of sins now appear before our sight Without hope Walk toward the light Testify the pain and behold the sinners' agony I will leave you now - from here you're on your own Hear my words - seek and you shall find Head held high - leave the past behind The pain of a soul A way of salvation The end of the world A slave of creation

I was forced to make a choice Though I can't tell right from wrong You will pay for what you've done When the final day has come I will search a meaning In the air I'm breathing now Grasping for control I will taste the spirit Of another living soul Reach my final goal I can hear them calling And their time is running out Hear the million spirits crying out in vain We should burn in flames Hear the million spirits crying out the blame Screaming out the shame Haunted by a dream of truth Hidden deep inside my mind Come on here and taste the youth Spit it out I hope you choke I can hear them calling And their time is running out Hear the million spirits crying out in vain We should burn in flames Hear the million spirits crying out the blame Screaming out the shame

The final breath is deep Followed by nothing but silence -"Walk with me" says a dark, distant voice Death's not the closing end If you can defend your actions New endeavors lay ahead of you now A sign from above A voice from below The passing of a man A dear friend or a foe So take my hand Let go of your hate The Scales of Justice Determine your fate Mighty psychopomp The guardian of angels Mighty psychopomp Keeper of the dead Mighty psychopomp The guardian of angels Mighty psychopomp Watching over me A maze of shattered souls Don't stumble and fall The gaze from beyond Is suppressing your call So take my hand There's nowhere to run Unveil your soul And let justice be done Mighty psychopomp The guardian of angels Mighty psychopomp Keeper of the dead Mighty psychopomp The guardian of angels Mighty psychopomp Watching over me
