Death rides and the old man cries, where on earth can we hide This transformation he fears, he knows not where he'll end Will he burn in hell and rot, damned for eternity Or will he re-incarnate once more and face this life again Chorus Metamorphosis, a necessary transformation A halfway point 'tween dusk and dawn A husk that must be shorn Death comes and the wise man sings A glorious day has arrived This transformation he welcomes He'll fly to the other side He knows he'll not rot in the crypt Worm food for eternity Death is not the end he knows But a time when the soul is free Chorus Cast In The Abyss what waits for thee New life beginning or re-incarnate eternally Will you find the answer before your time You're on your way, don't know what you'll find The gods have your answers but they're not in your mind Swers before your time You're on your way, don't know what you'll find The gods have your answers but they're not in your mind

I can see all around me in this lucid state My own mind controls my real fate But if I wake from slumber, then returns despair Of the days depression, forgets the dreams I share If I sleep in peace do I loose my sin Or does it linger to when the day begin I've been trying for so long now to avoid the crimes of mind The things I want, desire can it damn me from all peace I lie awake and pray for sleep to take the sorrow away for now In the dreams I'll find new hope, will hope ever cure my ills I hear a woman's voice is calling A voice I've never heard I have no vision of her image My dread is growing, I don't know If I ever care to wake up I know my fear will extend still The inner workings of my mind Can never sleep or calm my mind The troubled waters of my world Aren't consumed by restful sleep Now upon the mornings rising I find life's gauntlet carries on In a building with no doorways Escape can never be Despair my only love I find my way through the dreams of doom Despair reaches out in the black of night Embracing my life's dream I still resist/break the curse/my faith Will live/where hope denies my peace And through revealed/ in fragments of my mind My will exists/to roam the corridors of life I am the force, I've searched and sought so long My name is his through ancient dreams may now obscure

Outpouring of light Consciousness erupts The boundaries of our minds Is our path forsaken Of our universe What coheres matter Forming gas and solids Or the breath of life Enlightened forms realize Their master seek ascendance Return their rightful home All vibration seeking faster movement Calms the pain and brings us closer still You and I must journey to a place where still resides Our souls in evolution must bring us close to Organized forms of matter from one source arise Through linking eternal forces the trust freedom lies As one we strive for justice, karmic laws still survive As harmonic vortex light and sound lead us home Running through fields of vision Our once romantic vision of soul must lead us home Leads to/our heaven/makes our matter pure Everlasting/ascent is now made pure

Life ever changing it's hidden reality But then in a moment we see Is this just a shadow Of the spirit planes we've yet to see Lord come soon for me If I was once in heaven Who cast me to this hell Am I a fallen angel, a coin in the Bottom of a wishing well I know that life's a gift A shadow of the spirit plane But my flesh is weak and the World would have my spirit break Life is pure beauty Through eyes we see But the Kal force Has power of flesh lust and greed The power to guide it We can't control We can be in it, but only through soul Innocents born from heaven learn life's reality Through choosing Christ's spirit we're free If you can find heaven on this earthly plane Your soul is mature may fly home again Your task is complete your spirit now pure Leave planet hell from satan's lure But if you're still a prisoner to the pleasures of your flesh Relive this carnal death Life everlasting though the body soon must cease Through soul find eternal peace Life isn't over though the body's met it's fate Spirit burns, it's never too late Life did you make it all it could be Fates warning was never heard Though tongues of fire spoke his word You were a fool

From the time we are born we see we must die Some fear the coming day praying to their deity Some have philosophy, follow a path they've chosen Others just wait and see Live their life in belief they're free Will you stop? And look around, what's your truth That you have found Our celebration is decay, for is drugs is our way Poison in our food we'll eat, chemicals to make it sweet Why should we stop the celebration of decay we love our death soaked way Out thirst for life fades by the day What truth have you found We all live for the end To face the truth our hopes send Nihilism reigns supreme Is their death after birth Is man doomed to peace on earth Perversion now holds sway Lust for death guides our way Why are we free to choose When in the end we all must loose Free to see what life may bring Yet deaths pleasures reign as king

Seeking to amplify Power in all senses Man creates devices That change relations of his world In changing he fails to see He's now become a slave to devices Who's charm he's succumbed His bias altered now From sense to sense Sound or vision tested which reigns as best And so he fails the test of unity Integration of the whole creates awareness he shall see Oh things that we've made, changing our lives We've come so far, electric light Measure the day, lengthen the night We can make our way without fight In alphabet we've shifted sound to words we see No more the sound of voices has effect on literacy Are amplifiers of the rage that seethes The photo makes museum obsolete For treasures are now exposed For all to view in complete The phone has shrunk our world Down to village size To talk the neighbors Who just don't see our eyes We rule nature A fragment whole Enlisted science, to take control But where's our future What lies in our hands A technocracy, or integrated whole Can we arrange a world That's filled with harmony Eliminate pollution And keep our people free Must life be calibrated By technocontrol Can freedom be maintained By thinking of the whole Our patriots will vanish Like ghosts of the night Unite the world as one Will be our holy fight!

Fog in the streets A church clock beats Midnight - darkness all around You better beware You better take care Be prepared for the shock The time has come And he's the one Who's breathing down your neck Coming from behind Now it's your time A loser will die Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart On a one way track and you're not coming back 'Cause the killer's on the attack Surprise attack Coming from the back An expert of the deadly knack Just take care Just beware Be prepared for the fight Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart On a one way track and you're not coming back 'Cause the killer's on the attack Watch out - watch out Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart On a one way track and you're not coming back 'Cause the killer's on the attack Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart On a one way track and you're not coming back 'Cause the killer's 'Cause the killer's 'Cause the killer's on the attack

Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved You pray for daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - murders up for sale Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - where jail birds die Face at the window leers into your own But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones How long can you hide? How long till they come? A rat in a trap but you've got to survive Once you were glad to be free for a while The air tasted good and the world was your friend Then came the day when the hard times began Now your alone but alive for how long? A knife at your throat another body on the pile A contract to keep and it's service with a smile Murder for vengeance or murder for gain Death on the streets or a blacked out jail Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - murders up for sale Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - where jail birds die In Gangland you tell no tales

Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen Fantasies lived times before I split my brain, melt through the floor Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why My body tries to leave my soul Or is it me, I just don't know Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led Oh another time, another place Oh another smile on another face When you see me floating up beside you You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you Please take me away, take me away, so far away Please take me away, take me away, so far away Please take me away, take me away, so far away Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen Fantasies lived times before I split my brain, melt through the floor Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why My body tries to leave my soul Or is it me, I just don't know Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led Oh another time, another place Oh another smile on another face When you see me walking up beside you You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you Please take me away, take me away, so far away Please take me away, take me away, so far away Please take me away, take me away, so far away

Life it seems, will fade away Drifting further everyday Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he is gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

Standing by my window, breathing summer breeze Saw a figure floating, 'neath the willow tree Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn't know Took us by the hands and up we go We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds He could control our sense of time We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried Everyone was in peace of mind We felt the sensations drift inside our frames Finding complete contentment there And all the tensions that hurt us in the past Just seemed to vanish in thin air He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound That is vibrating constantly And if we could grip and hold on to the note We would see our minds were free...oh they're free We are lost above Floating way up high If you think you can find a way You can surely try

Oh no, here it comes again Can't remember when we came so close to love before Hold on, good things never last Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again Again and again, again and again and again Cry out to legions of the brave Time again to save us from the jackals of the street Ride out, protectors of the realm Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights Circles and rings, dragons and kings Weaving a charm and a spell Blessed by the night, holy and bright Called by the toll of the bell Bloodied angels fast descending Moving on a never-bending light Phantom figures free forever Out of shadows, shining ever-bright Neon Knights! Neon Knights! All right! Cry out to legions of the brave Time again to save us from the jackals of the street Ride out, protectors of the realm Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights Again and again, again and again and again Neon Knights! Neon Knights! All right!
