There he stands, silent and proud, doing his worst to please you, the crowd. Dressed to seduce in living ropes, surrounded by an aura of dreams and hopes. Vivid colours in a beautiful blur, weird shapes to trick your minds. Twisting in and out of form, reflecting infinite dreams. This is so much more than smoke and mirrors, mesmerize, hypnotize. Paralyse! Beauty will fade, wonders will fall, this magic conquers you all. Secrecy is gloomy and pure, illusions, how can you be sure? Authoritarian and standing tall he commands you one and all. Raise his hands to cast his spell, he has no heart to do you well. Hateful gloomy atmosphere, astral signs from a future dark. A whispering and crawling fog, echoes infinite nightmares. This is so much more than smoke and mirrors, violation, exploitation. Deprivation! Beauty will fade, wonders will fall, this magic conquers you all. Secrecy is gloomy and pure, illusions, how can you be sure? What is real, what is not? Nothing matters when you lie in your blood waiting in silence for the magic trance. Now the gypsies will do their dance!

As you enjoy the show we stealthily sneak around, behind the rows of spectators we empty your pockets. If your eyeballs were purely made of gold, we'd rip them out of their filthy bleeding sockets. With the secret skills that no one master better we make your dearest possessions disappear. On the stage your vision is focused on the dancers, don't turn your head now our daggers will cut deep and clear. While the gypsies dance your mind will be enchanted. While the gypsies dance you face a pick-pocket hand or a knife. While the gypsies dance, oops you turned your head towards us now. While the gypsies dance, if we can't take your gold, we'll take your life. While the gypsies dance, crowd is reduced in sheer brutality. Spellbound and shocked, people vanish into black insanity. Blood fills the rows where fathers once held their pony-tailed daughters and no one seems to notice the unbelievable slaughters. Now we take back what we know belongs to us, salvation lies in shiny gems, they satisfy. Unobstructed we empower our own future and steal the whole world in the blink of an eye. While the gypsies dance your mind will be enchanted. While the gypsies dance you face a pick-pocket hand or a knife. While the gypsies dance, oops you turned your head towards us now. While the gypsies dance, if we can't take your gold, we'll take your life.

Silence! All the sounds have faded everyone holds their breath, suddenly aware of the heavy smell of death. Countless bodies shattered like confetti on the floor, a single voice in the corner whispers "no more". Entering the stage, floating like on shiny mist, cloaked in pitch-black with a blinding silver chime in his fist. Dead eyes staring at the dying panickering crowd and as he rings the chime monotonous ears bleeding loud. Out of the sky, riding on high, on wings of fire they're burning the night. Sharp as a knife, destroyers of life, reaping your souls to put out your lights. Soulreapers! Of ancient time, from forgotten stars. Of unknown life, never healing scars. Out of the sky, riding on high, on wings of fire they're burning the night. Sharp as a knife, destroyers of life, reaping your souls to put out your lights. Soulreapers! With a piercing infernal blast, the sealing cracks to the free. A black hole on the black sky, the air filled with intensity. Waves of loaded energy hits the frozen mass, followed by the roaring sound of ignited gas. Bursting out of the black, an ancient creature of old Engulfed in living flames but still the air is cold Bodies rising from the ground, bleeding when stripped of their souls. A last victorious scream as it fades into the black hole. All love's lost and all hope dies. All turns black when the soulreapers cry!

Not a single trace, everything is gone, the circus has disappeared. Cool morning air, the dawn will come soon, the end of a night so weird. Walking purposeless, watching horrified, the bodies left all around. With the rotting smell of blood your last hope dies. Insane you fall to the ground! As you're lying there a voice is singing to you, a growl as from deep inside the earth. For centuries your lost souls have been our feast, we leave your remains to bird and to beast. But in the black emptiness of space so cold we'll wait patiently till we're older than old. And when finally the stars are right once again we'll come back to rule you with torture and pain. Burning, destroying and with a violent gust, all that remains are ashes and dust. Again before your eyes the gypsies are dancing, a bloody face in the rising sun. You stumble to your feet and without looking back you're screaming in fear as you run. As you're running away a voice is singing to you, a growl as from deep inside your head. For centuries your lost souls have been our feast, we leave your remains to bird and to beast. But in the black emptiness of space so cold we'll wait patiently till we're older than old. And when finally the stars are right once again we'll come back to rule you with torture and pain. Burning, destroying and with a violent gust, all that remains are ashes and dust.

I have an urge to destroy this abomination that is. I don't even dare write the names, they are simply too foul. And our acceptance has come sweet, your desires will be fulfilled but you have to follow the right path. How did I become like those around me? It's like a fog dulling my mind. And the chaos will disappear, we opened your eyes to the truth but you have to embrace it. What's important is that I no longer see the obscenities that are the old ones. They'll guide me as I shall act as their humble servant for all time. "And so shall it be, as we have foreseen, your final transformation is complete. You are one of us now!"

Like a vampire living beneath the stars I feel burned by the sun. Alive for a single purpose to bring back the rulers, to bring back the one. Finally I found my call, my self has returned, I'm free, I am strong and with my faith restored in an entiny I'll see the World undone. Open your eyes to see the truth, oh if only you knew. If you could just see and if you could just hear their voices You would follow us to the end of the world and find eternal life. Clearly I am not mad as I thought, no one's controlling my mind. I feel inspired yes, but make the calls, reality's for the blind. Would you really want to wage a war on a foe such as this, full of might, full of death, I recommend you to think again, to become one of us and to bow in awe. Open your eyes to see the truth, oh if only you knew. If you could just see and if you could just hear their chanting, you would follow us to the end of immortality in eternal times. I would sacrifice my disbelief in you, oh if you open your eyes to see the truth. If you could just see and if you could just hear their voices You would follow us to the end of the world and find eternal life. If you could just see and if you could just hear their commands, you would follow us to be swept away by madness in its purity. Purity!
