Wearing a Martyr’s Crown

Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen Never turned like the slime that I always knew you were Can't stand this life my soul lay in a pool of blood Egocentric high ideals and rotten ways Hatred, heartache A few of my modes Hatred, heartache More than you will ever believe Dominate, recriminate Your slave infected role Time after time I stare into vacancy Deteriorate, investigate What drives you to goal? Lie after lie is my only reality A solitary spot A soul lost Shed the blood of my inner fears Searching into the silent beauty of a nightmare Near empty cold lines and tribulations SHED THE BLOOD 1st solo: Olof 2nd solo/harmony: Marios As passion slips by your side, once again I SHED THE BLOOD!

Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen A collision course of the deepest kind Emotions of your inner light A fate worse than death! On the most magical nightof your life The motion of the sinner's pride And the love that we have lost This is our last hope This is our last search As it was always there A hopeful future The realization of danger The black stars! Your fateful sight Ignoring their spite The destruction of hardships A never ending story We never seem to win this fight One thousand steps that come between us On the wings of fulfilling smiles We never seem to wonder why Our collision of fate will be worse than death 1st melody: Marios 2nd melody/solo: Olof 3rd solo: Marios Your fateful sight Ignoring their spite This is our last hope A Collision of fate 1st acoustic solo: Marios 2nd acoustic solo: Olof

Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen This grim reality casts a gloom in our hearts A grim struggle The night of death The day that life was cold Pleading in the moonlight In the fullness of time we live and learn And we die soulless This is not a dream This is only reality By and by you hear my words You can't deny morality (Hold on), Hold on to your dreams Please don't let go Of life's distress (Hold on), Hold on to your dreams It makes you feel more alive Inspired by a past of pain The only sense I have to make me alive Life is hitting so hard, Without a true meaning This is my only shallow heart Hold on Please don't let go Of life's distress Hold on It makes you feel more alive

The crown of emptiness As night descended slowly Maybe it's an illusion One fake dream, one grey plastic Reality of tears and of repentance I felt my life crossing like A stream of sadness Wearing a martyr's crown The crown of sadness The crown of emptiness Mortified by his rudeness Souls sunk in despair Futile actions the enemy of life Like an ego That's trying to rip your heart out I felt the fear for what I saw; Trying to save something This incredible heap of mistakes Stigmatized my soul Wearing a martyr's crown The crown of sadness The crown of emptiness Mortified by his rudeness Wearing a martyr's crown The crown of sadness The crown of emptiness Mortified by his rudeness I felt the waves of sadness Breaking my heart I felt the fear of what I saw I held my head up high Wearing a martyr's crown Wearing a martyr's crown This crown I felt the waves of sadness Breaking my heart I held my head up high Wearing a martyr's crown Wearing a martyr's crown The crown of sadness The crown of emptiness Mortified by his rudeness I felt the plainness and all the errors Of this tragic truth Wearing a martyr's crown Crown

Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen Here is the truth that's lying Deep within your grasp My heart was blinded To the facts you resurrect Withered and unforgotten This trachery at hand Welcome to my world Wit tears that turn to sand An attribute to the strenght I never had Ashamed to look towards you as a friend My time is pain; some questions never asked Do you feel my sorrow? Let's play your little game! (Lose to regain) This knowledge made in vein (I will abstain) This path to true arcane (Renounce success) A portion never told (Denounce assist) A tortured dying soul Pride and trust is a luxury I have Wallow in your lust we'll see how long it lasts Pulling out your mind Behold the jackal's nest Travelling the poison seems to have effect All misery, and the hypocritical role Are these their best ingredients? Your time will cease to exist Crowned and torn Life will make you a slave We are Among Wolves! 1st solo: Olof 2nd solo: Marios

Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen Alas is it true or a dream? Magic or reality? Treacherous currents I couldn't believe my eyes Belated honesty is what they served Abandon! A vicious cycle, poisonous face, And values lost in agony Mendacious statements Promises from angelic figures I wish to turn back, to see things more clear All this time and all these thoughts Naked fear and arrogance Was it all that I saw? Abandon your heart Abandon your pain Abandon your life We live and learn while the sun Goes down. Abandon thee, for all time The brand of your kind To stand for all life Listen to me Show me your face Fearful, soul-destroying act, An absolute conceited creature This was all that I saw 1st solo: Olof 2nd solo: Marios

Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen Solo: Olof I'm sick of this fight I'm sick of these lies Entering into solitude Thorns rising up Deleterious effect Enter into futility Of all we fear, of all we've done. Of all we've seen Is that wrong message? We cannot find a meaning In this endless search These futile tears are all I have in a time of nee These futile tears are what cloud my eyes I'm sick of this fight I'm sick of these lies Entering into solitude These futile tears are what cloud my eyes It's like a sickness burning deep inside It's like the flood It's like the tide It's like infinity It's like a door that never shuts It's like the flood that rises up Everything I hace left (battle-scarred) This blind hatred growing strong in my veins 1st solo: Marios 2nd solo: Olof These reasons I find A self motivation to never back down So leave it behind And open the doorway to keep you alive 1st bluesy solo: Olof 2nd bluesy solo: Marios Incomprehensible ideas Emotions of terror A redeemer of pain Damaging my entire soul These futile tears are all I have in a time of need Sorrounded by this eerie atmosphere I'm sick of this fight I'm sick of these lies Entering into solitude These futile tears are what cloud my eyes These futile tears are all I have in a time of need These futile tears are what cloud my eyes

8. Wounded Angels Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen Fatally I sleep with your sins And thuthfully I lay in your hate A long version we had A painful path of dark shadows Blind obedience; if only they knew What was coming? An ancient mystery of prime honor My actions so bright, the darkness I'll fight I am the true king Wounded angels arise from pain Wipe the tears from your eyes Wounded theories and waves of shame Keep the spirit alive Light the unknown For those who will fall A way to salvation Close all the doors For no one will call The name of temptation Favoring the truth For all eternity they will be remembered

9. Mocking Modesty Music: Iliopoulos/Mörck, Lyrics: Iliopoulos/Hämäläinen Lost and cold in our dark cave Alas the reaper of loneliness Something was way out there Like a solitary tree In the garden of dead landmarks I don't want to die alone I saw a star of incredible friendship One way that allways shines Through the hardship of the soul To be hidden like a winitry smile I don't want to die alone In a world created for fools Is there any end? Is there any choice? Is there just false hope? Goodbye cruel world You're mocking my modesty A negative feeling Made from a false birth The road of deceptive words 1st solo: Marios 2nd solo: Olof You're mocking my modesty Goodbye cruel world
