Misguidin' your life, you'll reach The empire of sadness I will be rife, driven by insanity and hate Misguidin' your life, you'll reach The empire of sadness I will be rife, driven by insanity Lunacy and rage are raving in my head, reign Back to back, c'mon be my slave, the beauty In your face will be fading to black ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Sands Of Time (Sammet) 5:04 Seasons come and seasons go Here I wait for something to be Try to get as much as I can see Hungry for life But Have you see the sands of time Every day is a moment in past Every heartbeat a step to my last I won't survive I don't know what time is made to be If it is a friend or enemy or does it only run Run to set and end Secrets of a crazy dream or just a bad Reality, I don't know Do you feel the sands of time Runnin' low to break the line First we learn to fly, then we learn to cry Later in the evening we will die Questions roamin' through my brain I'll be leavin' into a grave I'll be dead but my soul will be save For a time called forever All the seasons will have been gone There'll be times that you will forget My name and the words that I said Then my time will be over ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Sacred Hell (Sammet) 6:08 Ravens in the air, no one in the streets Seems like the fiend he must be back Riding on his horse but also flying in the air Love has just started to crack - ow Whiplash and torture, falseness and pain Envy is driving our hate Everything out there is mad and confused Till we'll be able to seal each others fate Staring through eyes of hate and able to kill We don't realize we've been given our own Fuckin' will, like animals humans don't think Don't look for a reason, we hate no style We put the blame on the demon Sacred hell, sacred hell There is nothing but names on the wall You can be free, you can reach tomorrow Sacred hell, sacred hell So the fend must be back on our ball Lose all your sins, lose all your sorrows No lucid intervals, no people who guide But a 1000 Masters of disguise Eternal damnation 'cause humans they hide They think that Satan shall rise ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Eyes Of The Tyrant (Sammet) 8:30 In the eyes of the mighty domain and its evil Doctrines, there is no trace of romance But the fears that grow No one can watch his next into the eyes You killed the poetry of mine A long time ago - NOW How many times have you given me rage When your words were mendacious And your laughter insane, how many times Have you written lampoons about my life And desires, about my pleasure and pain I bare my fangs to you, look at my face and You'll stare into my mind and you'll watch The eyes of the tyrant - eyes of the night The eyes of the tyrant - eyes of the night Back from the Hades, into the daylight Back from the Hades, into the daylight King of tonight, tell me what should I do Should I die in glory, should I raise my fist The Crime of my deeds is the frolic I need I won't die on my knees, I will kill to resist The chagrin of the damned cries the tears of Romance, lord of uprightness take me now The empire of the sad, the empire of the mad My feelings were killed so long ago Yeah, we are eternal, we are immortal There is a trace of glory in our hands Majestic and wild, we stand and we fight Soon your blackened pride will be fading away You'll realize you'll had been walking astray Never tame the wicked, I'm a tyrant tonight Back from the Hades, into the light Back from the Hades into... Uh, now here we go ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Frozen Candle (Sammet, Ludwig) 7:56 Crying on the pyre, feelin' all so strange When you took my mind to deteriorate, told Me that you like me, atrocious and deterrent Lies, you showed me how it is to suffer hate Celebrate my funeral, vultures on my corpse Ashes to ashes - me to hell, you think I could Be dug alive, but you never knew, you're just Too deaf to hear my forces yell All your mind is full of hate, you hold the link To seal my fate, I stare into the light Now you'll try to burn me, inquisition in our Time, but I'll tell you what I am Burning like a frozen candle Burning like a frozen candle I can still remember when you called the reaper Told him how to unlock my door, sleepers Nights, evil dreams, faces in the window Voices that I've never heard before ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Roses To No One (Sammet) 5:47 I'm feeling this time as bad as never before A bleeding wag is fading away Once you needed me for spending delight Below the funny mask there's a crying face The way that I smile is the way that I cry But you'll never realize My reputation is the one of a fool Now watch like a poet dies, feel his cries And I dedicate my roses to no one Cause there is no mind to help me to see A reason we need, a light for the lonesome And no one to drink the blood that I bleed The poet in my own wasn't given some Chances and from that moment on I lived apart, and I realized that I am my Best friend and not those parasites That try to stare into my heart The way that I feel is the way that I heal My body and soul and my life And I know you just think I'm a fool New watch like a poet flies, watch him rise ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Power & Majesty (Sammet, Ludwig) 5:10 I am a sacred king in a sacred kingdom You know me just as royalty Lookin' kind so you don't see I wanna steal your virginity I was born to feign an angel The evil knows just how to hide I sold my soul only to rise To build up powers that you can't fight Watch me standing proudly Till I wake the animal At night we bite we fight We are power and majesty At night we bite we fight We are power and majesty I am a master of disguise And hate to be your marionette And I won't care if you'll be hangin' Shut fuckin' up and be my bed I am a reckless animal Spitting out a sacred lie Till you know my perversity Is to "play" and kill and finally die "Hey baby, I wanna excuse me for My bad habits, close your eyes I've got a present for you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------
