Mighty beasts that rise we fight, beings of imagination Pick either side, to be wrong or right Tricked to sleep, by hands sleeved in sleight Blind by the light we see - Rule our nights The pulling urge to go away To dreams that we love Forever to stay Circumvent the above You, are a slave For the reasons in which you've been made Reach, beyond dreams Overcome by any means All are left alone, caught and empty handed Within a void, beat, tired, and stranded Nothingness, wells inside the core Realize the beauty, which emits like a storm Please close your eyes Watch the worlds fall away Searching parts of yourself Monuments remain You, are a slave For the reasons in which you've been made Reach, beyond dreams Overcome by any means We've been led to this outer place Left with nothing but a trace Look upon us from afar Image of a dying sun, crimson to the stars You, are a slave For the reasons in which you've been made Reach, beyond dreams Overcome by any means

Mystic cove on the horizon, so far ahead She ran her course - This ship of the dead Splitting the sea leaving mist in our wake Omitting ourselves to the sea, row! Row away Our lives are a cloth to the winds We gave our blood 'til the bitter end One last voyage, to pass this realm With our ghost captain at the helm Drift on towards the shore we shall cross To beyond, our restless souls cease to be lost A captain's sacrifice, for his life and death! Take our vessel, give these men eternal rest Our lives are a cloth to the winds We gave our blood 'til the bitter end One last voyage, to pass this realm With our ghost captain at the helm One last reason, to sail beside me Surrender your existence to the sea!

Take a look in the mirror See what you find It's just a reflection Of your mind Now just a reject A street rat lost Into the wilderness you’ve been tossed Fading away, nowhere to turn There's no way out that you can discern Your life is over The clock comes unwound Here comes this hell of a life you've found Just when you’ve said hello It's time to say goodbye Sleepwalking through your life It's time to realize That you need to learn your lesson See the truth with your own eyes And every path you take After the crooked turn Will take you right back to The place you should have earned The trust of those you protect People who depend on you They never know what's a lie From what is true Just when you've said hello It's time to say goodbye Sleepwalking through your life It's time to realize That you need to learn your lesson See the truth with your own eyes Take a look in the mirror See what you find It's just a reflection Of your mind

He is the pain god of all the universe Dealing out misery, all the tears and anguish Beyond age, beyond death And beyond feeling Lonely and so alone, so far far from your reach Tears were impossible Tears were his heritage It began so long ago, when time had no conception There he was stopped alone, in this night of space What was this feeling, through your body and mind? The want to to leave it all, leave it all behind Tell me about god, tell me who he is Mortal men and women go, cower in his shadow! Equate theology to the world in which we live Then you'll feel the pain, take this morbid gift Pain Pain god Who are you? To bring pain upon me - I feel the pain All the pain - That I've dealt unto you Faith we should have not in gods but in ourselves - Woh! The only real gods live within our brains The fear and the memory of the fears that had gone before For he was the pain god, almighty in control Sorrow was beyond him Sorrow was his birthright What kind of god permit misery? Are we really here to suffer such torment? Let the children of god answer I offer by way of faith......Pain god!!!

Walking the streets in the black of night Who's this weary soul? Blessed in rags with hands held out I’ll pay no beggar's toll! Leave me be and let me pass I owe nothing to you Spit with contempt as i walk by Without a thought or smile Then, a strange feeling And I see visions Hellfire and demons laughing What has the soothsayer done to me? Cursed! You can't escape It’s far too late You've earned your fate Possessed now in a fit of rage Into the town you run People yell in horror as they see See what you've become Mark of the beast on your hide Horns and glowing eyes Then they stick a knife in you To see what lays inside You're on the ground In a bloody mess You know that it's the end Cursed! You can't escape It's far too late You've earned your fate Now your time has come To burn away Your body It’s no more Now you’re just a slave To demon lords You're transformed Into a beast

Awaketh below the deepest layers Cast in a coffin of fire Cavern of brimstone, there's the dark one Sitting on the throne of desire Evil arises, surrounding me My being twists within Singed arrows piercing me Demonic barbs of poison Mighty king, impure and morally broken You shall be my new apprentice Blinded, bound by countless riches Prove yourself, then you shall be free As he looks in front of him, a stuck up man full of sin Perfect in every way, for he is me and the cycle begins again Take on this wretched life Ragged cape torn from me Seething pain and spite Crown of trash for all to see Memories of his past crumble A beggar's life he has to lead Nothing but a curse to give Just sceptre rusts in hands Here's you task, weak and weary soul Go now, through your old kingdom Bring to me, your strongest knight Cursed and thrown, into my domain of fiery blight This curse he must pass on To his bloodline he shall turn Damning his brother's soul To the sound of the soothsayer's call!

We shall rule this kingdom as we once ruled our own The least a man can do is fight for a just cause Engulfed within flames and eternal black The stars whirl in furious motion Vast army of horrors, it is your time We shall rule this underworld In darkness we prevail, leaving nothing behind But the torn flesh of your coward horde! Inconceivable amounts in the wake One last maneuver shall save our race Rally the army of demons Brandishing steel forged in fire To rattle the mortals above us Onto their knees their forced to kneel Exit the hall, the soothsayer's call Through space and time forever evil lasts His throat shall be slit, his blood shall be spilled Man made a slave, king in a grave Soothsayers triumph is near The kings head sits on a spear From the gates of hell, he has arrived Fire demons in the sky Whips and chains, the grand display Of pain and fierce brutality Centuries pass on for the sorcerer Familiar faces pass him by A challenge to fight, to spoil his soul As he smiles on golden throne The soothsayers triumph is near The kings head sits on a spear For he is me, but without power And in this final combat Aid from the dark one, I’ll be victorious To bring the cycle to an end Amassed so far below Seeing all there was to see On top of hell's highest peak Horde of horrors, governing the weak Blackened skies filled with devils Aberrations from lowest levels Amassed so far below Seeing all there was to see On top of hell's highest peak Horde of horrors, governing the weak Blackened skies filled with devils Aberrations from lowest levels Toppled king, thwarted knight To the ends of their mortal universe Hellish horde, fight, fight! The cruel, the morally perverse Soothsayers triumph is near The kings head sits on a spear Abomination, abscess Poison turns it’s horrid face Evil on the face of evil Forever scourge the human race
