In final anguish I have awaken from the night Of that despairing dreams, there's no way to abide Can't clean my memories Nothing that sends me back to life You better hide from me, fateful plans arrive.... You were the world to me, you were my passion Now you'll bleed Collapsed in agony - seeded by the weak in me! Beyond the gate, see revelations of fate Before the gate I have to realize... Ceasing time won't wait for me! Time ago in years and years of hope Resurrected slowly You hit the nails back in my soul Humiliation scorns me! You were the world to me, you were my passion Now you'll bleed Collapsed in agony - you....will....pay! Grateful diamond Find a place of silence in the end When the journey is over Heart of iron, full of dark delight the devil sent Desire dies in the ark Can't stop thinking 'bout this night As you tore my world apart As I saw you down on one - And stabbed the dagger in my heart Can't stop thinking 'bout this night I will kill the one I loved Nothing left to live Nothing left to cover scars...! Beyond the gate, see revelations of fate Before the gate I have to realize... Time won't wait for me! Grateful diamond, find a place of silence in the end When the journey is over Heart of iron, full of dark delight the devil sent Desire dies in the ark

Don't say a word When the door wakes you up Surrounded by lies - Every word, every cut Spot on this hell in disguise Unholy mindfuck Crusades and oppression An unconscious rage Wash their hands in blood Waiting for the flood Won't clean your hearts, Won't set you free Suffer endlessly Soul desert asylum - Got no faith, no salvation for me Protectors, sick violence - Growing hate, termination I see Another headline by your hand Another path to sacred land Pray for forgiveness you won't find Search for your god you left behind Inquisition - false tradition Never turn around, Never face the godless Rotten clergy - please deter me Centuries of torment Never gonna learn gonna see Pay their price or take your life Another crucifiction Takes the place of our extinction Maledetto - sick preserver Blinded by the shadow And the „opus die" Spread and occur - Holding the key to the empire's end The sign and the sound of - Martyrs and demons as one No sanctuary No shelter to kneel upon!

Winged assassins with a vicious smile We had a long way, we won't stay a while Drawing liquid numbers Speeding up the air We will ruin generations We're snipers of despair Engines roar - Birds of war Target floor - Sink and strike, neverending Thunder battalions - On our flight to crush the night Thunder battalions - Fires prevail Thunder battalions - Bring the night, our dark delight Thunder battalions - Iron legions never fail! Getting closer, almost see the lights Accelerating 'til obsession Finally wins the fight Open up the airlock, blood begins to boil Can't control this icy shiver We target and destroy! Engines roar - birds of war Target floor, neverending Leave you in the haze And leave you in your ashes A nameless town An ancient crown to purify the masses You're falling / falling / falling!

Smell the death of profits burning Pull the strings in state of siege See the warchild raise his gun to Preach his mind to fall asleep Stand in line - one last time For the one - you decline Sheltered pride - left behind Forging ahead on our way to die Lost command, but we will follow As we hide behind the gunfire Final stand - we rise, no sorrow Clouds of destiny Keep marching on as we're burning War - our solution to a fading dream No more - cold awareness of this all Stand in line - one last time Once you followed the one And you found decline Sheltered pride - left behind Forging ahead on our way to die Fight forever 'Til the unknown end has come Caught in this vale of stone, long gone We hunt down the nation - Mind's exploitation! Cheer together Til our dullness turns to hate One third a killer, two thirds bait We choked all shameless lies - Cut off my tongue and my pride Alive but dead....!

Now as fortress crumbled - I can't feel no pain Stuck in grief and memories - See your face again Can't relate to things I do Can't evolve my way to fear No solution nevermore No retribution 'til your end is near Oceans of emptiness - A blackening tale Senses erased in calming silence Oceans of emptiness - The cipher prevails No dark or dawn - But I'm here to stay... Sky won't clear here in my hands Cold November And the clouds are weeping Just hold my breath and let it end Ruthless point of no returning Can't relate to things I fear No retribution 'til my end is near Oceans of emptiness - A blackening tale Senses erased in calming silence Oceans of emptiness - The cipher prevails No dark or dawn - But I'm here to stay... Can't relate to things I fear No retribution 'til your end is near…

Foreseeing deadly pressure You're about to fall Sworn to the system and bound to it all Collaborate with madness What's the price you'll pay Forcing and fighting but I'm in your way Say farewell - time will tell You crumble, you beg for tomorrow Welcome home - you're all alone Keep falling - the whole world is dawning Fall of the golden towers - Here the darkness calls Mad wannabes, in mania do believe Fall of the golden towers - Greed 'n fools so tall No more slaves, no more future Painting pictures in my mind Of something that you wouldn't find Inhaling fury of the smoldering masses Inside these walls there's no escape. No open door to re-create Just crawl inside you to swallow their ashes Just hold on - time's forlorn Keep crawling - no sign for new morning Don't you see, no lie lasts endlessly Misled by agony, no one's on your side Slither in the void - can not bear the noise So mistaken as your light... As your shine....Disappears

To worship plastic icons, To follow senseless gods Being led instead of leading, Manipulate the hordes Public abuse of power, Your screen smiles While the weak decease Modern vultures, ancient habits - Profits increase Egos deformed - One step beyond the torn This is inferno - This is endless Heroes no more - What could they fighting for? Exhausting every sense in time, Now I lose mine Lords of Babylon - You're so addicted to power Souls so dun, let all outrun - Deep in your soul the beast cowers Collapsed catastrophes, Apocalyptic heresies Ice-cold moonlight Won't forgive us as sundown leaves Lords of Babylon - You're so addicted to power Souls so dun, let all outrun - Deep in your soul the beast cowers So addicted to power - And you'll never see the light Cant your greed stop your hunger - If you starve the rats uprise! Shine in the dark - Or die by the sword Follow your heart - Or be cursed by the lord Spit in the flames - Find sense of it all Wipe out your tame - Towers will fall

Here I stand in front of urban walls Disturb the night in endless fires - Melting stone by stone I have to pass and walk right through Face the lightless shine Before the strike can set me free - Pray for salvation Just can't bear these streets in coal-white stain A cold sanctuary to die in vain All love is lost - warmth turn to frost In dark assemblies, i cry aloud your name! Fires beyond the sun - see walls of time collide A cry for deliverance! Fires beyond the sun - see dying sins of light Dead eyes and a killing hand! Here I stand and do not dare to move So scared to death of getting lost - Inside these bricks and smoke Raining sparks on static fundamental - Crooked signs of time! Crack holes into the sky of grey - Pray for salvation! All love is lost - warmth turns to frost! In dark assemblies I cry out your name Don't you run away - don't you go astray - Oh... I will sacrifice myself in ashes, Tumbling in the night I will carry myself back to you Just to see in dying eyes! Fires beyond the sun - see walls of time collide A cry for deliverance! Fires beyond the sun - see dying sins of light Dead eyes and a killing hand! Fires beyond the sun Fires beyond the sun Feel the fire

The wings of sadness strike the wind The wound's still bleeding now The pain brings madness like the nights Bring fright...Can't tell it how I miss the rising sun called "Time" The hope, the morning after dark This journey ends in blackness, after all I Raze the spark ...My journey dark! Dawn.... You ran aground, you stranded Eternal night just branded you On an island dried you landed On a stormy sea you left me blue In a ring of fire, where the love's a liar Robbed the devil's hands the stars away Now await the morning, heaven's torn Gone away - you left me here in this black That cuts my throat Gone away - neon dreams in painful colours Made up just for you Gone away - and when I close my eyes reflections Of your beauty smile come true Now await the morning Hope inside the warning Now await the morning, heaven's torn Fear the dark, fear the dying Recognize the world is lying Fear the light and fear the sun Still you're waiting for the dawn Praying the ashes: illusions and dreams And learning the lessons 'bout life as it seemed The road leads in nowhere, the abyss has called The road ends in nowhere, I'm watching my fall And as I wandered through this fever And I searched for fields of gold Heaven spoke to me like a fairytale and Tore away remains of hope Settle down in stormy wastelands - sum Up just from the start Lay your ego next to this fading shell And embrace a scarring heart Memories fall like rain I recall my parts in time, remind my pain.. Shiny days, my love, my hometown - Fearing changes, so surreal Blown away, this storm lasts forever - More and left me nailed to the wheel Blown away... Hear the end call my name My arms are open wide again In the end you're to blame My heart welcomes the rising tide ...Welcome the tide! Cold - blood - dead - eyes Lost - cursed - hope...less Gone away Gone away - don't break the silence Gone away - behold the moon Gone away - turn back to homeland Gone away - turn back to doom We're standing in fire - of flaming empires Our hearts burn until we'll be gone away On my skin - a rising blade In the blood - the delivering poison And I'm waiting for...Dawn
