They laughed at their gods
And fought them in vain So he turned his back on them And left them in pain Now here come the saints With their banners held high Each one of them martyrs Quite willing to die Wake the dead, the saints are in Hell Wake the dead, they've come for the bell Cover your fists Razor your spears It's been our possession For 8,000 years Fetch the scream eagles Unleash the wild cats Set loose the king cobras And blood sucking bats Wake the dead, the saints are in hell Wake the dead, they've come for the bell We are saints In hell We are saints In hell We're going down Into the fire We're going down Into the fire The streets run with blood from the mass mutilation As carnage took toll for the bell Abattoir, abattoir, mon Dieu quelle horreur For a time is was like second hell Saints in Hell Saints in Hell The battle is over, the saints are alive How can we all thank you, we felt so despised Saints in Hell Saints in Hell Saints in Hell Saints in Hell Saints in Hell Saints in Hell |

I search alone, dark the night, deep the
blackest forest, down the devil's hopyard on my way from Salem I lit a fire Magical brimstone sparks ashes from the hazel wood Dancing with the banshee, fire rose up to the sky. The dead of night parts the sky, the Salem witch hunting eyes Malefica spells She soars the ocean shore of Kildare Over tombs of the harpy fields Ride the great beast abandoned girls Lonely girls ride the great beast Virginal goddess of Hunt Diana Through the Brocken Spectre rose a lureing Angel Sister of Morgana, forever dressed in black Journey through the witch trials learned of lore And wives tales We fathomed the deepest oceans o her darkest mind Searching lands of giants and dragons sail the oceans of serpents and krakens Under ages of dark the Salem witch Burned beneath mindless torture of men through the castles of demons and wizards Cast to their fate the Moerea the sisters Two hundred fifty thousand the Salem witch in the bog of the Witch Meadow run Malifica revenge plague have begun Burned alive for a crim never done Children of the darkness dance on the coven of the lost In blazing pyre suspended in air she demands holocaust She can exorcise with the whites of her eyes She'll devour your children, in a wink of an eye, descend from the sky to the cauldren of the damned. Her burning lips urned the infamous kiss She took me by the hand In a wink of your eye she ascends to the sky She unveiled my talisman I'm the witch finder general. |

Bedroom mirrors do tell who's the fairest of them all
Lime light silhouette, transparent walls Dancing shadows cascade paper dolls Wailing ghost guitars send in the clowns Send in the clowns Painted plastic faces stealing mommies make up Masque the false gods with mannequin smiles Prima donnas play upon their pedestals of fame Unborn girls, the false facade, illegitimate child I won't play your game Illegitimate child Searching for a name Blasphemous black Bible bias you betray bigotry Slay the hydra pretty fair maidens spread their leprosy Hungry children feed from hype of perpetual ego's I slay the hydra, burn the talisman, holocaust Run with the pack, illegitimate child The unborn wench at war Tears in his eyes, she became a bride Wedlock to a whore. Shatter the dream, the tangerine dream Bow to kings, not the queens Go back where you reign, to your domain The Valley of the Dolls! Bow to Kings of yesterday They have given you wings to fly away What have the phantom queens but deceived you Armies of shadows climbing Silvery mountains, lining molten and ask Camouflage the battle scars with Oxy10 and Maybelline Cloning the heros in hype magazine Pirates of underground, lightning the speed of sound You will prevail And bedroom mirrors do tell who's the fairest of them all Lime light silhouette, transparent walls Dancing shadows cascade paper dolls Wailing ghost guitars Run with the pack, illegitimate child The unborn wench at war Tears in his eyes, she became a bride Wedlock to a whore Shatter the dream, the tangerine dream Bow to Kings, not the Queens Go back where you reign, to your domain The Valley of the Dolls (1st solo - F.A.)

Look to sunrise man tell me what you see
The eagle has flown underground abandoned You abonded me Fifty two falling stars are burning up the sky Blazing torch falls to the ocean bottom where black predictions lie have you faith in scripture visions of kings Reaper of reality your destiny the sisters sing Vultures scavenge the subsconsious of your mind Their ally is time for you to fall and yield Your mind to the cynic They should be held so high and not looked down upon They are the root of the country. The roots so firm and tranquil, when will the spirits be welcomed, listen the music is heard again. When there are lofty high roof tops carved walls and yielding crops When the palace is wild for lusting. When the forest if wild for hunting. Existance of anyone thing has never been but the prelude to ruin Wars and temper tantrums are the make- shifts of ignorance Regrets illuminate to late. Depth beyond sin is fathomed Wandering through the devils field sowing his seed Guardian angel guide us through the night we compel His long constant fight. the moerea they call your destiny the sisters all of three. Clotho she spun the web to live the thread so tentative. Lachesis she measured out the years. Atropos cuts the thread with her shears. Time Time Time an imaginary line mine not yours nor yours mine They lead the blind back to mothers womb tomb of the unborn child Coming events cast their shadows before wintery wind the eye of the storm witness the past the future Holds more prelude to ruin |

Morning desert sun horizon rise above the
sands of time Mystic journey to Arcana travel starry spheres in trine Sands of the dunes dust of the bones Swallow the trace of creatures left behind Gods of the fire fall from the sky reaped all the fruit and plagued earth dry Distant vision tempting water fall to me knees I'm going to drink it dry. Blazing desert sun reflection on the water He caught my eye Up in a tree preying on me vulture of fear why don't you let me be He said you're mine one day Spit out the sand of the mirage Be on your way Exodus ascend the plane Exile this medium of bondage far beyond the prophecy of tyrant guardians Traject the esoteric sisters they are mythical Exodus ascend the plane Exuke this medium of bondage far beyond the myriads of crypt and pyramids beyond the harpy vultures guarding their tombs Arcana awaits you Oh guardian predestination calls Silent wind I felt what you said Soon I'm exhumed for consumation He charmed my soul with his book of the dead He read it said beat no children He will inhere the malignant fear in man Sovreign the force more than emotion It controls your destiny at hand False guardian I will compel false as the fear of heaven and hell I should have known its all a mirage just as well The power of good will not be shown by conquering fear Let it be known its a constant resist While facing transformation |

When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world tight Out of your mind. The hall beckons your presence, the doors Open wide you're to decide to turn back. Deep the bowels of this black abyss. Compelled I just can't resist it, take me Take me away take me away I wanna know what's deep within Take me away Drawing near someone passes through me, A silent entity never looking back I won't dare Evil eyes staring through he walls of stone As I feared I travel not alone. Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind I have passed the threshold deep within me A voice of thunder said turn back Tabernacle is forbidden No mortal dares to enter here I want to know Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire Above center is sky, cold neverness Just vastness filled with stars upon stars In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors Reflecting what you are and what you are to be In the first is a young boy white dove in His hand, in the second is a warrior in armor In the third is the old man gold watch In his hand fourth and last No reflection at all No reflection at all No reflection at all Waters rise toward physical fire, voice says Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back I don't dare If the water touches the flame Forever in darkness yes I'll remain. White dove flies from the young boys hand Through the mirror of the old man, only way out |

We're walking within a shadow
where echoes of different times resound looking for memories to relive in yesterdays that can't be found. Through different eyes we keep looking for what we lack. Changing minds take us away, and you can't go back. And staring into ageless eyes that shared secrets too dark for light we're searching for old bonds in places that lie forever out of sight Through different eyes we keep looking for what we lack. Changing minds take us away, and you can't go back to different times or ageless eyes, free from sorrow. Changing hearts will hide the past from tomorrow. Through different eyes we try to find people and places we've left behind. |

From sleeping visions
Daily were torn In waking hours Hopes our forlorn. Is all we do and all we dream Doomed to drown in a hopeless stream? Wishing life were made of lasting visions In eternal sleep And if that rest were filled with sorrow Still we'd sleep. In the madness of a silent eternity We'd find solace in False visions that protect us From reality. Enter ivory gates through midnight skies Daylight dreamers in private parades Perform before perpetual dawn As dusk engulfs the gate of horn. Ivory towers appear beyond the gate Invisible fortresses of escape Traversed by ramparts made of hopes and fears Impervious to reality. |

I saw YOU once again last night
through a sea of sullen faces admiring eyes following the path that the spotlight traces eye to eye and the miles still divide eye to eye what was it YOU saw last night when YOU gave yourself to me was it the thread of a common bond or the touch of cold reality eye to eye and the miles still divide we can move each other to tears but we can't see eye to eye and the miles still divide each of us alone in silence when we meet eye to eye all we can really share is the coldness we feel and the silent memory of the moment we met eye to eye and the miles still divide we can move each other to tears but we can't see eye to eye and the miles still divide each of us alone in silence when we meet eye to eye and the miles still divide we can move each other to tears but we can't see eye to eye |

Born to an air of apathy Indifference shapes a fragile mind Questions formed at an early age Beg answers unasked Silent cries Behind curious eyes resides A child who cannot speak Silent cries Years find a mind alone whose Questions flow too deep for words Covered in a shroud of silence Watching the world go by Silent cries Behind outcast eyes, hides A child who cannot speak Silent cries Time blindly races on Toward the autumn years Seasons unheeded pass While we all drown in tears Questions unanswered remain Alone they mourn a fragile mind Silent cries Behind lifeless eyes, lies A child who cannot speak Silent cries Silent cries |

today was the end of a dream
as I watched your shadow disappear another moment for the memory as we lose another year thought I heard You call my name but YOU only said goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say when it's too late we can only say goodbye tonight I felt your presence again as we shared the sorrow we've always known but I heard the distance in your voice and I knew I was alone tried to tell YOU my deepest thoughts but I only said goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say when it's too late we can only say goodbye across the miles both of us reaching we try but it's so hard to touch when we only say goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say when it's too late we can only say goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say... |

Thousands of years,
before the dawn of history. Ancient races tears, are flowing like a river to the sea. Where sacred river ran, white deer had roamed the land, brilliant twilight in our dreams. Primitive child, your unforgotten tribe calls to you. Descendants we are one, the tangled maze is broken once again. A myth without a meaning, you shade the light from the seed. The earth and virgin soil watch it bleed. The earth and virgin soil. Red, white, black, in city masses, corporate buildings spread like rashes, stacked upon each other forty high. Stabbed each other in the back, you money-hungry maniacs, dig up the earth and spit it in your eye. To intrude this sacred land, where the mortals have been banned, where your own forefathers lie in rest. To disturb this mountain side, where in battle we did ride, and our warriors where they lie, the earth digest. Hear our cry from down below, let our restive spirits go. You've trapped us in your world of sin, let the plague begin, Damnation. Your cities disappear, to earth's interior, don't you know you've got to let your spirits go, let 'em go. You've got to let those spirits go. Let 'em go! You've got to let your spirit go. |

I thought I reached the final stage,
Time enough now to catch my breath. Holding on to each fleeting moment, Until the winds of change come blowing through. And all the things I Thought I needed Go sailing out of you. I thought I reached a new beginning; Faint, distant glow on the horizon. Holding on to the promise of the day, Until the sunset hides sea from shore. And all the things I Thought I needed Don't mean much anymore. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us to the end. When truth and fiction finally meet, We find again New beginnings become old ends. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us to the end. When the circles complete, We find ourselves Starting all over again. Too many things left undone, Too late to turn back, I can change course before the end, But when all is said and done, All I really want is a chance To start again. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us the end. When truth and fiction finally meet, We find again New beginnings become old ends. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us to the end. When the circles complete, We find ourselves Starting all over again. |

I know its getting late
But I feel I need, I need to explain All the laughter and the lies Can't stay the fear or hide the pain Somewhere along the way We exchanged our dreams for selfish pride There was a common goal But somehow that vision has died Is it so hard to understand The facts that you ignore And we've grown so tired of trying Wasting our time criticizing And nothing's easy anymore Nothing's easy anymore Is it too late to understand The writing that's on the walls While we watch time slip through our hands We're deaf to our own demands When the eleventh hour calls The eleventh hour calls And nothing's easy anymore When the eleventh hour calls The eleventh hour calls I know it's getting late But I feel I need, I need to explain |

Under brooding skys and watchful eyes
On convulsive seas of false urgency We walk empty corridors in vain |

Enter young man
Welcome, cast your dreams I'll show you what you feel Walk, but keep the road I've paved Know of nothing else I, the one to guide your mind I breed in stealth I am master, soon you'll see Shape your world what you'll be Follow me or choose to bleed Read my book, memorize Disregard your mind You may see only through my eyes Save me, someone's come to change me Misled, delusions color real Black and white, they'll never paint me Never see until you feel I will keep my own time What's yours is really mine I won't let you swallow me, your doctrines will not shine Rebellion is your pestilence I'll never be confined Forever you shall yield to me Anarchy divine Save me, someone's come to change me Misled, delusions color real Black and white, they'll never paint me Never see until you feel, Never |

Born to an air of apathy Indifference shapes a fragile mind Questions formed at an early age Beg answers unasked Silent cries Behind curious eyes resides A child who cannot speak Silent cries Years find a mind alone whose Questions flow too deep for words Covered in a shroud of silence Watching the world go by Silent cries Behind outcast eyes, hides A child who cannot speak Silent cries Time blindly races on Toward the autumn years Seasons unheeded pass While we all drown in tears Questions unanswered remain Alone they mourn a fragile mind Silent cries Behind lifeless eyes, lies A child who cannot speak Silent cries Silent cries |

We were born to brave cold weather
Stormy seas in search of treasure Light you wield must blind another Doomed to run forevermore. How much more can I take? And how much more, ‘till I break? Rain will pour again today never-ending daze cascades Torn inside is there a way To be freed before I fade How much longer can I hold? I’ll live no longer in this cold! close your eyes, what do you see Dreams in rhyme with reality Or life to die in black scenery Empty shells and what could be. How much more can I take? And how much more, ‘till I break? How much longer can I hold? I’ll live no longer in this cold! In this cold! I‘ll live no longer in this, this cold oh! In this cold! |

By black we ride, or so they say
Our need for reason, there greed is paid Powers rumble for spiritual sway Paths are laid then leaders stray It's right then left, witch way to turn Follow me or forever burn We evil blessed, bring your soul to sell All wish away into empty wells Fortunes found in holy halls Redeem your every fault When dogmas given are blindly held And treasures given caught Any wish can only last Until the spell's descried While subtle, wicked ways Fracture weakened minds Slaves of a different kind march to broken bells Freedom in a bind and make it all sound well Blackened blue etched in glass forming outer walls Tell clearly of the emptiness and mute distressful calls Lines lead to dead ends where Plays seen are never clear And those who ride never fare Crowned voids forever rule In worlds lived and learned of fools Conformity's the teachers' tool |
