The Night surrounds and closes inside... The woods' silence cries in my mind And a little light appears on the long dark road... Black trees around-standing like heroes Old witnesses of untold thoughts As a giant shadow grows before my eyes A castle (?) never seen, a weird place of vile dreams Calling inside with magic light As it welcomes with shadows-dancing around Gloomy figures wherever I turn The past's dead minds shouting and burning in my fears... ..."Let me show you God with blood" and a sword like a crucifix remembers the past ...Just illusion, if I dream Just words in a brain Just another fight inside myself At the end of the beginning... Just words...if I dream; just words in a brain ...battles I go, dead screams burn Bloody kisses in ever return And dead emperors...building immortal graves/To make alive what never stays: The Past. ...Just illusions, If I dream just words in a brain Just another fight in myself At the end of the beginning... Just thoughts...if I dream Just words in a brain... But isn't the shadows stop for a while Nothing here but the past surrounds, Other ages, other fights Came to the end but here they live And while surprising, a mirror smiles to my shadowed eyes

In the darkness of Time, in the name of God Truth dies in the dying shout, Crying kisses or killer's hands And the glory grows on glorious heads... This is the truth of their God; This is the death of my belief From the glorious mouth deadly words come out: They want me to die I awake but light has disappeared... Maybe it's died like me in this dark hell Black days, blind nights, Redemption-shouts from my heart, In the killing silence, alive but dead, I'm going mad The trembling steps I try to take Will slowly take me Finish my way in a Pit. But I'm falling on the floor and feel The depths before me/Just one more step Would have brought me to my death! Upon rousing, I look around: I can see by a sulphuros light I'm chained in a low form:the final plan, the scaffold And when this thought lights my future I feel I can't hold on... So let the End take me far...let me fly over life And when the tears flow no more... Destiny will show truth... Where dreams are born, Where I escape from the demons Hunting in tormented soul, Where no one follows There I escape from the demons... And there are the depths I escaped from And demons painted on the grey walls Looking upward there is pained death Holding a pendulum in his frightening hand ...just a second-and I Know:I smile upon my glittering death; ...the moving pendulum... ...Agitation of spirit keeps me awake While I wait for my death...I'm afraid The last minute comes, but lets me live Rats on my straps...and I can stay here: yet... My calm doesn't live long...something smells strange: Glowing metal walls! They seem to be coming closer and closer All that they offer: Burn or Fall

Long ago died silent lips Ghosts of lovely words, tears of a never-ending hollow-life Jewels of the deadly Nights Memories have been lost in time Like my fate, my soul-the faithless mind Fever-grows in empty veins And just the Garden that awaits... ...With my ancient life, unknown crimes Deadly instinct never lies Hunts me to kill, suffer my sin Forever and always...in a dreamless dream Over the Garden there is life waiting Over the walls there is blood pulsing there us blood pulsing Over the Gates life and death's waiting Over the walls my hunger sating Laughing-breaks my heaven's silence Young blood haunts my aching mind To rape my garden's (secret) clarity But I cannot stop this growing pain Oh, in my garden, there's life-waiting Inside these walls, there is blood-pulsing Inside the gates, life and death's waiting Inside these walls my hunger sating... Thrill waits to be blazed, flames up Life's immense current stops The fate of you-I make it your face Your love, your hate, your blood, your fate, Your heart, your dreams Your mind...are mine... ...oh...What I did...where I killed... Hands...living in chains... the morning comes...and I burn

I remember the Night That sight's still inside On old men's streets Ghosts of never beens Voices of the Violin Cried for many Nights Flames of the mind Hunted evil kinds [Chorus] The Violin cried out to the night Silent screaming-by strings' blood Nowhere I found, nowhere found me The darkness of Gods Embrace the crying of voices He sat in the dark Candle's gone out Just the mad sound Was still in fight Next to the window He stared at the Night And behind the world Space opened a mind Coming from the ancient Dark Dimensions of refused mights A silent man-demonic fight By the strings of his life [Chorus]

From that crazy night I never forget my love Before he pile of logs, She stood like unconscious ghost A last scream from the stake Her mother was burnt, she heard The crowd... I took her far away, over the seas, Far from the fears I thought But the demon followed Lover of the witches and their souls And now I had to see her there On the place she's always feared The flames waited for her blood 'Cause of her demon's fault... "I've never hurt you, I've never been The witch you want to burn, The witch you kill! Oh, Lasher come, Show me your love Give me a vengence,a great last fight Show me your power, To show them mine Destroy these liars, my untrue sons, The killer crowd..." And the storm came, the wind blew blood Walls fell down on human's flood Souls got burnt in the flashes of anger My witch stepped in the tower of the temple Through her eyes, a world of sorrow Told me a Tale of fears and horror In their hearts, she saw all lies: Her suffer made the demon awake... I saw her falling, I saw her blood Flowing out of her scarlet mouth The storm stopped, the priests stood up To take her body on the fameing logs

My mind's remains come to life again While ny sould awakes from my sence's Night But at once another dark's spreading around... To feel if I were a dead...in Hell... Cold and wet floor under my soles And black walls're crying ever pain If the Black walls cry...or is it the Night... Angels' chorus or Demons' shout??...
