2.Flames Of Thy Power (From Blood They Rise)

Lyricist:David Defeis

I rise on the mountain
I do what the God's disdain
Impassive accounting
The ghost of your yesterday

Fear grips my soul as I lie awake
Hole in the sky for I die

Flames of thy power, you rise with the blood
Flames of thy power, I worship the sun
No one remembers standing proudly
Flames of thy power, to walk in the sun like Gods

The cries of forgiveness
The soldiers of fallen grace
The hope of tomorrow
The ghost of your yesterdays

Fear grips my soul as I lie awake
Hole in my heart for my crime

Flames of thy power, I worship the sun
Flames of thy power, you rise with the blood
No one remembers standing proudly
Flames of thy power, they walk in the sunlight blind

Oh, what can I do
I see the silent water closing in now

Blood of yesterday, crossing the silent waterways
I rise into the skies of human snow
Hammer the wind to your throne of truth
I see him shining, watch the sin pouring down from me

Damn you all

I rise on the mountain
I see through the passage ways
My heart cold and pounding
The ghost of my yesterdays

This is my soul washed by the God's will
Daughter of Zeus hear my cry

Flames of thy power, I rise with the sun
Flames of thy power, they hunger for blood
No one remembers standing proudly
Flames of thy power, to walk in the sunlight shrine


3.Through Blood And Fire

Lyricist:David Defeis

I am the master of this world of ours
You are a thorn in my side
I am the rock upon which you will break
Freedom or death, you decide
For in the end there is no meaning to find
Only the raging sea and I will be there at the door

Through blood and fire, promises and lies
Through blood and fire, we rise no more tomorrow on your side
Through blood and fire, we rise

Shatter the sky with your thunder and wrath
To honor the questions we ask
Greatness is granted to those who betray
I am the last of my kind

Heaven and hell exist inside us
We've found drown in your raging sea
For I will be there when you die!

Through blood and fire, promises and lies
Through blood and fire, we rise no more tomorrow, deceit
Through blood and fire, we rise

Through blood and fire, promises and lies
Through blood and fire, we rise no more tomorrow on your side
Through blood and fire, promises and lies

Through blood and fire, we rise
No more tomorrow on your side
Through blood and fire, we rise!


4.Twilight Of The Gods

Lyricist:David Defeis

The mark of war is upon me the taste of blood's on my tongue
I'm the ruler of nations, I am second to none
Like a rainbow on fire, my axe gleams in the sun
Blinding my enemies when the battles begun

They'll see us fly on wings of glory
For the twilight hour's come
Here we ride on wings of fire
Staring straight into the sun

The dark host marches eternal, it's the last great war
Spreading scenes of destruction unequaled before
There will be no winner, all are destined to die
And from the ashes a new world a vision of light

Watch us fly on wings of glory
For the twilight hour's come
Here we ride on wings of fire
For the judgment of the gods

A circle of fire Loki sings
A chorus of lies, the crownless king
Who rides on the wind
Who rides on the sky, be gone

A circle of fire loud we sing
The war hammer rides
The crownless king
Who writes on the wind the whisper of life

Watch us fly on wings of glory
For the twilight hour's come
Here we ride on wings of fire
For the judgment of the gods


5.Arms Of Mercury

Lyricist:David Defeis

I raise my head, I close my eyes
The statue stares the apparition smiles
Am I here living in mystery to the last
When all Gods must die
I am yours, pain lives inside of me
To the end when the final rain must fall, away

I raise my head I say farewell
The solemn fears come and crystallize
Blackened eyes, shadows of misery
To the end when all Gods must die
I am yours, death walks inside of me
For the last, for my requiem, again

I fear the arms of Mercury surround me
From the corners of the world, I say goodbye
I know the end is coming soon
From the Margent of the world, I say farewell

I know the pain that I've caused
I know the lives that were lost, in this dark time
The eyes deny to wash all this blood from my hands
In the end will we all pay this price

I fear the arms of Mercury surround
From the corner of the world, I wave goodbye
I know the end is coming soon
From the Cauldron of the world, I say farewell

I know the pain that I've caused
I know the lines that were drawn, in the dark time
Will the God's design to wash all this blood from my hands
Or in the end will we all pay this price


6.Wings Of Vengeance

Lyricist:David Defeis

Cold the blood of an angel, cold the blood in my heart
Never stand between us or lose the mystic art
Die cursing the shadows, die cursing the light
Everything is changing except the will to fight

By the rising of the sun, you will understand this night
In the land where your father died

Into the mighty arms of death
Into the darkness we fall
Into the mighty arms of death
Into the darkness we fall

Cold the blood of an angel, cold the blood of the Sky
Everything is fated, the Gods to me won't lie
Die cursing the shadows, die cursing the light
Everything is wasted except the will to fight

By the rising of the sun, you will understand this night
In the land where your father died

Into the mighty arms of death
Into the darkness we fall
Into the mighty arms of death
Into the darkness we fall

Spirit
Avenge
Fury
Face the flames

Come forth rise, take off your chains and fly into the sky
Stake the viper, kill in turn
Fly, make an oath to the sky
Win your kingdom, win the fame of a God

Cold the blood of an angel, cold the blood in my heart
Everything is raging, the damned will choose their mark
Kill, kill without warning, run the blood of the free
Fear lives on a mountain and ravages our dreams

By the rising of the sun, you will understand this night of fire

Into the mighty arms of death
To the sky we never left
Uncertain hero, you'll win the day
Violent accounting, fortune's array

Into the mighty arms of death
Into the darkness we fall
Into the mighty arms of death
Into the darkness we fall

We fall, we fall
Yes
In darkness
Now descend


7.Self Crucifixion

Lyricist:David Defeis

I'm not sleepin' the walls are down
And your hands are icy cold
Under water through the sound of fear
Comes a drowned and cold reply
And the mist still hangs around the gallows
Like the anger after the violent rain

Die if you will die if you want to
There's no mistake the ending is clean
The fire is cold in the ashes of memory
There's no escape from this hotel

Like a child who lies to win
Then eats of his own flesh
Holy water can't save you now

You've hungered far too long
And the words once spoken
Now ring hollow as the mind that
Shatters your flesh with nails

Die if you will die if you want to
There's no mistake the ending is clean
The fire is cold in the ashes of memory
There's no escape from this hotel

I'm not sleeping I'm alive for you
You, you'll try again save yourself
The dawn takes the night, the night takes the sun
The son takes your sins your sins can be cleansed

Die if you will die if you want to
There's no mistake the ending is clean
The fire is cold in the ashes of memory
There's no escape from this hotel

No escape the ending is clean
It doesn't have to be this way


8.God Of Our Sorrow

Lyricist:David Defeis

God of our sorrows, your blade drinks deep
Earth feels the wound

Earth Mother, I am wronged
Earth Mother, I am wronged

What comes on the wind can only be slain
By He who knows the wind


9.Flames Of The Black Star (The Arrows Of Herakles)

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

I return to the land of my birth and I thank the Gods belief
With golden songs and sacred vows
Through eons forge the millennium
How the spear faction blazed
I released the Titan's pain at last
By the flames of the black star

On this mountain peak where we live
I resume my rule decreed
By Zeus and Father handed down
The victory now here is mine

Judgments price for shameless theft
Exacted and immortalized
By the flames of the black star
By the strength of the Heracles arms

Flames of the black star burn in hades
Flames of the black star shine tonight
Flames of the black star kill with fire
Flames of the black star shine to the edge of the world

The Hammer of Zeus splits the sky, cracks the dark in two
Is there one among you who can see the truth
In the distance black rivers flow
A final warning spoken from the tomb
You live by the violence and the soul of the sun
Time has no meaning when the slaughters begun

Rising up in power, rage is on my side
Brazen gift of ancient madness
The eyes of the world are fastened today
The Gods are not blind, they will be consoled

An ocean of grieving can never return
You're never forgiven, your destiny's earned
The darkness within is taking my hand
You're never forgiven, struck in the eyes of the world
Binding your soul to hades
Flames of the black star!

You live by the violence and the soul of the sun
They'll be no tomorrow when the end has begun
The eyes of the world are bleeding today
The crimes of tomorrow are born here in pain
If terror is scheming, your freedom is burned
You're never forgiven, your destiny's earned

The edge of the world awaits, silent and proud are the will
Sowing the seeds of violence

Flames of the black star burn in hades
Flames of the black star shine tonight
Flames of the black star kill with fire
Flames of the black star blind, blind, blind

Flames of the black star, shine in my soul
Flames of the black star, shine in my soul


10.The Voice As Weapon

Lyricist:David Defeis

She's the Goddess of the silent water waiting
Siren on the rocks the heir of crime
Child of the sun, storm witch of burning
Black is the foam of your birth

Fasten on the cloak of silver dreaming
Drain the poison cup or race the sky
Smile on the sun, you are the Savior
Justice is not matricide

The voice as weapon
The voice as weapon
Kill from without, kill from within
Where the sunlight tastes like rage

Poison on the sun reveals the hydra
Burning on the sword, I know is red
Smile on the son's, fateful endeavor
Now she will see by disguise

Recognize the sound of silver screaming
Slaughtering the nations of thy soul
I am the one, I own the power
Holiness sleeps at the eyes

The voice as weapon
The voice as weapon
Kill from without, kill from within
Where the sunlight tastes like rage

Kill this wanton pair, or race the sky

Keep your courage and now be a man
Black robed angels of death you'll command
You may kill her and not suffer blame
Heed the words of Apollo's oracle

She's the Goddess of the silent water waiting
Bathing on the shores of murder's wine
Smile on the son, I am returning
Back to the home of my birth

Blessings on the God's light shining
The crown of victory, I'll wear in time
I have the force, no one can tame us
Hermes will be our guide

The voice as weapon
The voice as weapon
Kill from without, kill from within
Where the sunlight tastes like rage

Break the silence, break the spirit
In the palace, blood will flow
For the shadow of thy father
Bringing judgment, blood will flow


11.Summoning The Powers

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Spirit of the air, remember
Spirit of the earth, hear my prayer
Spirit of the seas, I summon
To the one who has no name

Veiled is the night
Bright are the eyes of the dead
Fire and water, cleanse, purify
Great spirit of power, hear now my commands
Grant every wish of blood, blood

Gods of the dead, feel my rage
Enter the circle of my sacrifice
Take on the world, free the plagues
With the smoke of your word
Dark is the vision that burns in my heart

Kill from within, conjure the seven
Who stand on the mountains of dawn
And I am the flame

Spirit of the air, remember
Black Gods of the sun, cry out to me
Steal the thrones and the powers of him
Black is the vision of all we despise

Slide on the wind, great is the power
That comes in the back of the night
I am the flame

Spirit of the air, remember
Black Gods of the sun, cry to me
Spirit of the sea, know thy suffering
Black Gods of the sun, hear my cry

Gods of the silence, Gods of the damned
Offer no mercy, withdraw your hand

Gods of the silence, Gods of the sand
Sworn of your glory, kill on command

Glide down
Glide down the stars
Glide down the stars
Glide down the stars

Gods of the dead, feel my rage
Enter the circle of my sacrifice
Take on the world
She who reigns in the palace of night
Dark is the vision that burns in my heart

Glide down the stars, feel my hate
Outcasts of heaven we meet in the city below
I am the flame

Spirit of the air, remember
Black Gods of the sun, cry to me
Spirit of the earth, know thy suffering
Black Gods of the sun, hear my cry


12.Strawgirl

Lyricist:David Defeis

Eyes blindly starting skyward, gaze fixed on eternity
What's that mark upon your shoulder, what's that scar on your
arm?
Did you come to see Jesus? Do you walk with God?
Do you rest suspended? Or tread the underworld?

I will speak, for you can't, I will tell your story well
I'll reveal your yesterdays

Strawgirl lost in the Savage Garden
Waiting somewhere for someone to call
Strawgirl is there a lover who's searching
Crying, no one to notice you're gone

Cold stone supports your beauty, night falls anonymous
Shattered light defies the distance, illuminates your loneliness
Did you bear children, do they miss their ma?
Did the blind mask of forgiveness show a truer face by far?
I will speak, for you can't, I will tell your story well
I'll reveal your yesterdays

Strawgirl lost in the Savage Garden
Waiting somewhere for someone to call
Strawgirl is there a lover who's searching
Crying somewhere or is it just me


13.Rising Unchaned

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Piercing the veil of Eternity, lashed by the winds of Hades
Titan fists and Gods collide
From the caves of ice the Midgard Serpent roars
As the stars fall from the sky
War kills we die, with golden tears Odin falls

You're the deliverer
King Unchained
You're the deliverer
King Unchained

With a twilight kiss upon your frozen brow
Golden dawn when you awake
You're the first and last whose coming was foretold
Crown of glory, worlds unfold
Come forth arise, twelve golden dreams forge the prize

You're the deliverer
King Unchained
You're the deliverer
He who reigns

Meeting on the Twilight Bridge
The giants of Jotenheim align
â½Against the hosts of Heavenâ

â½The sun turns black and falls
Lightning cracks Bifrost
The Rainbow Bridge of three hues
While time comes to an endâ

â½The wolf Fenrir breaks his chain
Yggdrasil, is laid waste
And the Universe comes crashing downâ

â½But after defeat, One will come
Beyond the reach of all evil
Greater even than Odin
To create a new Heaven and Earth set
In a golden age forevermore'

Don't cry for mercy for you know there will be none
There in your darkness, you've been blinded by the sun
And you'll see me tread the air
Crown of fire upon my hair, you will die
Come forth arise, your time has come, forge the prize

Don't cry for mercy 'cause you know there will be none
There in your darkness, you've been blinded by the sun
Crowned in blood I tread the air
Worlds are formed within my stare
See them rise

You're the deliverer
King Unchained
You're the deliverer
King Unchained

You're the deliverer
He who reigns


14.Hymn To The Gods Of Night

Lyricist:David Defeis

Gods of night, Gods of death
I release thee
Now from bondage
Go forth upon my quest

Gods of night, Gods of death
I release thee
Now from bondage
Go forth upon my quest

Gods of night, Gods of death
I beseech thee
Strike with power
Steal the dragon's breath

Know this, he was mutilated
When she buried him
To cripple his spirit
And make it unbearable for you


15.The Judgment Of The Son

Lyricist:David Defeis

Goddess of all the silent wastes, Thou are not found unkind
There's no black and white, Thy truth is not so keen
Although the crime is great, withhold Your sovereign blaze

Rise up, rise again, after the ring of fire
My friendship's not feigning, Your cause is my own
Rise up, rise again, after the ring of fire
We'll beat them in sunlight on this day of task

Gods and all Athenians, proud black Erinyes
Brook no Anarchy, nor bear a tyrant's rule
Maintain in balance fear, the Guardian of Grace

Rise up, rise again, after the ring of fire
A Godless suppliant, burning in chains
Rise up, ride the wind, this is the End of Silence
The moment of Never on this day of wrath


16.I Wake Up Screaming

Lyricist:Andrew Broder

Like a portrait born of hate
Like a lock without a key
I am trapped here in this prison
Deliver me from me

Like a world within my head
Like a thorn in my side
I am choking on your virtue
What a way to die

And the wind keeps on moaning
Shattered lightning from the skies
All your promises are broken

I think you just want to bury me
I wake up screaming every night
I wake up screaming

Like a guardian of lies
Bringing laughter in disguise
I am drowning in your bullshit
What a way to die

Like a crystal virgin mind
When you blindly lead the blind
I am waiting for my requiem
Or the end of time

And the wind keeps on moaning
Spitting right into your eyes
Every bridge is burned and broken

Do you think you want to fuck with me
I wake up screaming every night
I wake up screaming

Ooh, what to do now
When I see your Armour twist and crack
Ooh, what to do now
When I rip the smile right from your face rip

Like a portrait born of hate
Like a lock without a key
I am trapped here, in this prison
Deliver me from me

And the wind keeps on moaning
Spitting right into your eyes
All your promises are broken
Do you think you'll stand the test of time

I wake up screaming every night
I wake up screaming


17.Blood And Gasoline

Lyricist:David Defeis

Another night on the highway, smell of hate in the air
Another season of knowing that there's nobody there
So you race down the runway, leaving hope on the rails
With a spike in your memory and the marks of the nails

Gold and silver shed a light that's blinding hot and cold
You're bleeding, you're bleeding red
And flowing like a wine for crying young or old
Like blood and gasoline

As you rust in the mirror, as your face starts to go
You can count every mile on your barren soul
In the scream of the engine, sing your final song
Blackened and burned what was young and strong

Gold and silver shed a light that's blinding hot and cold
You're bleeding, you're bleeding red
And flowing like a wine for crying young or old
Like blood and gasoline

Faster and faster a nightmare we ride
Who'll take the reins when the miracle dies?
Faster and faster till everything dies
Killing is our way of keeping alive

Another night on the highway, blood and dust in the air
New disease or addiction that brings that hip death stare
In the media madness where they proclaim you a king
First they crown and anoint you, then make you dance on a string


18.Love's Gone

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Don't say that you want love
As you're walking out my door
Don't say that you need love
'Cause I can't love you

Anymore lay down in rapture
In this crowded town of fear
Hang your head in shame my dear
You gocca roll alone

Love's gone
It's gone away

Highway in starlit
You shed your blood upon the sun
You lock your love
In bitterness
And now you're left with none

God, I loved you one time
When we walked the world alone
The face that love could not
Forgive
The heart will turn to stone

Love's gone
It's gone away

I fell you body writhe
Like a snake in my arms
Wrap yourself around me, baby
Oh, yeah, ohh, yeah

Love's gone
It's gone away


19.Unholy Water

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Flowers of evil shiver on the firing line
Whose face can please me now?
Boundless queen of Babylon
She rides above the sky
I'm a devil, I'm an angel

The lights are getting brighter now
Bold enough to stay your prayers

Unholy water you tell me the truth
You tell me the lies
Unholy water you resurrect you crucify
Take me down now

Leave if you're leavin', stay if you have the right
I've never been so alone, as I am with you tonight
The funeral season grows I'm an angel, I'm a devil
Where did it go so wrong?
Close your eyes and say good-bye

Unholy water you're bringing me down, to live is to die
Unholy water the ending is clean, the ending is now
Unholy water the rapture is mine, I drown in your slime
Unholy water you're deep in it now, you're tasting it all

Unholy water
Unholy water one last careless, then solitude
Unholy water you're feelin' it now, I never denied
Unholy water when love turns to hate with Satan you mate
Unholy water drown in the tears, a shadow of Fear
The ending, the ending is now

Unholy water her breasts were full, her hair was wet
Unholy water around her throat the serpent crept
Unholy water she utters truth, she utters lies
Unholy water she resurrects she crucifies


20.Blood Of The Saints

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

London is mine
New York and Paris shall fall
One ring to rule in darkness
To bind them all

Come to me now
A moth to the flame
Burning your eyes as you stare
With the blood of the saints

Stand on the shore
Watching the ships as they burn
None will be found
The sea will be their final urn

Come to me now
A moth to the flame
Burning your eyes as you stare
I will devour a specter of power
I will be king for a day

In passion denied
You call to the gods
In glutinous sin
Your face so sublime
With the blood of the saints


21.Life Among The Ruins

Lyricist:David Defeis

Gunfire up in Heaven, no religion here
Raping your salvation, the last sound that you'll hear
The snap of the noose, the crack of the whip
The hangman's face is torn in shameless crucifixion
A savage nation's born

Behold the new messiah, arising from the wound
In rags of execution freedom is consumed

You are a rose you are a blade
I'm down on my knees in the dark in the fiery reign
Life among the ruins

I've lived among the ruins, walked among the dead
Loved among the wreckage beneath a flag of red
Communion of blood so bitter the cup, a union born of fear
Creation and perdition, a world within a tear

Behold the new messiah, arising from his bed
Holier in silence, paler than the dead

You are a rose you are a blade
I'm down on my knees in the dark in the fiery reign
Life among the ruins
I challenge you to love my bride of pain

With the dying sun of autumn bathing us in gold
We walk the desolation hand in hand against the cold
While rampant runs the reaper all through the barren plains
With scythe in hand he reaches to harvest the last remains

In agony you stumble with a curse upon your lips you die
I can't feel you anymore, vengeance is mine!

You are a rose you are a blade
I'm down on my knees in the dark in the fiery reign
Life among the ruins

You are a rose you are a blade
I'm down on my knees in the dark in the fiery reign
Life among the ruins
Bare your breast and save this child of pain
Life among the ruins


22.The Spirit Of Steele

Lyricist:David Defeis

Lords of light, cold lords of darkness
Behold the power I now pass over
My son this Steele, is life and death and spirit

From my hands into your hands
The true sword of kings
I now pass on
My father's father wore it

And thy father bore it
Savior of kings
Salvation rings
Wield it in strength, in pride
And honor forever

Take my hand, we'll leave this land
Far, far away, Asgard awaits
Gods and angels call us from the bridge of time
Homeward we ride into the sea
When life is done, my name will live on
Forever, forever


23.The Fields Of Asphodel

Lyricist:David Defeis

For so long I did wade in the river of violence
Trail the long night
Haunting face where's the meaning
Old enough to know the signs

So long fated life
Valiant warrior tonight
Say farewell


24.The Raven Song

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Soaring high above the desert
Far beyond the shifting plains I call your name
With a love that goes beyond love
Past the prison of all time in the sky you and I

From the dawn of all creation
To the pain of nevermore
Can you hear me in your slumber
As I haunt the nightly shore

Unleash the raven fly to me
Unleash the raven fly to me

In the Palace of the Spirits
Where the streets are still and strange, I stand alone
13 moons reveal the sadness
Where your mortal body drained
In the sky you and I, we can't die

From the dawn of all creation
Calling from the other side
None can ever tear asunder
Our love is sanctified

Unleash the raven fly to me
Unleash the raven fly to me

Fly Phantom of Night
Vulture Divine send me Lenore

From the dawn of all creation
Calling from the other side
None can ever tear asunder
Our love is sanctified

Unleash the Raven fly to me
Unleash the Raven fly to me

When the Light of Life is over
Calling from the other side

Unleash the Raven fly to me
Unleash the Raven fly to me


25.Anesmone (Withered Hopes... Forsaken)

Lyricist:David Defeis

Zeus, my Father, hold your son
His seas have all run dry
The spark of life fades with the dawning
For those who wait

Under the blackest skies
My arms are open wide
Will you deny your hand in shaping
For those who know?


26.The Wine Of Violence

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Like the talon of Mars I'll tear right through the wall
Thunder and lightning, in power the Gods reveal all
In the black where the siren reigns
Ravaging the spirits of the brave

The wine of violence, breaks our control
See the madness, burning angels glow
The wine of violence, I steal your soul
See the madness in me grow

I am the wound and the scar and the spear come to life
Sacred red son of the sun, torn to pieces imbibed
In the black where the darkness rains death
Drowning in the currents of your shame

The wine of violence, takes your control
Sin and madness burning kingdoms whole
The wine of violence, I steal your soul
See the madness in me grow

Fight me you coward, thief of stolen days
Joy is destruction, driving me insane to fight
Win the silence of the damned, Holy order, high command
Eagle tearing flesh from the bone
Golden whirlwind, bare the stars we Fly! Fly!!!
Let the death mist close your eyes!

The wine of violence, takes all control
See the fire Burning down below
The wine of violence, I steal your soul
See the God in me enthroned!

All dead, silent and alone
No more Savior carved in stone
All dead nobody will weep
Icy water, death runs deep
Vengeance is mine
I regain my halls


27.The Oracle Of Apollo

Lyricist:David Defeis

'When the flesh of life is rent by murder most foul
And the blood of life is freed upon the air
It cries out in anger for more bloodshed, that is the law
He who inflicts death must suffer the pains of retribution
It is the ancient wisdom of the ages or'

Eternal torment will strike your heart
The arrows of the Gods sting
Sent by fathers who died unjust
To destroy the coward son

They visit him with plagues
Dark cancers of the Mind
He'll die in horror, drowning in the waters of
Acheron and Lethe


28.A Whisper Of Death

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Show you no mercy, we're far from the light in purgatory
Sign in the distance, leave it behind
There is no meaning when the promises are lies
I'll bring you pain far from the light

I see the rings around the sun, I know their names
I see the colors turn and run, I stay the same
There is no meaning when the promises are lies
I'll bring you pain, far from the Light

Victory, holy war, I am reborn tonight on Earth
You will know, you will see the end of all former might
Heaven and right in the window, I know where you are, Hell

Hunting and killing again
Holy tomorrow, I see where you are
I will be there when you die

A whisper of death I bring to you
The sons of tomorrow, I know that they're through
There'll be no mourning, the skies are alive
A whisper of death, fall in the sight of your god
A whisper of death

Crush them all, kill their reign
See them fall from the light, who will know
Who will win seven years from tonight?

Gods in the mirror, I know where you are
Haunting the still of the night
Holy tomorrow, I see where you are
I will be there when you die

A whisper of death I bring to you
The gods of tomorrow, I know that they're through
There'll be no warning, the skies are alive
A whisper of death
When the Spirit's torn from your flesh

A whisper of death, a shadow of fear
Seven riches of the skies
A whisper of death I bring to you

Seven meanings of our love
There'll be no warning, the skies are alive
A whisper of death

Thunder war, blood and gore, send them
Fear on the tide I will know, I will win
Kill them quick 'fore they rise

Bride in the mirror, I know who you are
Writing the book of demise
Holy tomorrow, I see where you are
I will be there when you die

No, a whisper of death
I bring to you the gods of the moment
I know they're through
We're pounding the valley, the skies are aflame

A whisper of death I bring to you
Seven meanings of our love
There'll be no mourning, the skies are a lie
A whisper of death, fall in the sight of your god
A whisper of death


29.Veni,Vidi,Vici

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Are the wings of angels all a lie?
Tell me is this not you
Are these signs and warnings all we know?
Tell me is this not you

West Wind at my shoulder
North Wind at my back
On the bridge of death, no turning back

The cavern waits before me
A falcon at my fist, seven rings of knowledge
I exist to kill

Guardian of the Red Queen
Seven Rivers wide
This won't end 'til one of us has died

Eternal death devour
Those who left their mark
Bleeding all the light out of the dark to kill

Gods of the night
Gods of day, lead me to another place
We have the force to make wrong right

As the river leaves the stream
All your yesterdays, shining bands unfold
With the power to smash

We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword

Arrows rip my shoulder, forge a distant prize
Shadows of their might, I know their eyes
On the black horizon, see our banners wave
Baring all perdition for the brave to kill

Gods of the night
Gods of day, lead me to another place
We have the force to make wrong right

As the river runs away all your yesterdays
Shining bands of gold
With the guardian that hangs on the pine

We are children of those who left their mark
With the power to smash

We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword

All your yesterdays shine on wings of light
Sky Father, Lord of our sorrows
Our victory is at hand, watch us shine

Gods of the night, where are you now?
I laugh at your fate
Fortune's on the run, see it now

We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword

Will we ever meet again?
Will we see the light of love
At the edge of the world?

Hold it now, will we see the sun arise?
Recognize the God in man
At the edge of the world, I crown us kings


30.Through The Ring Of Fire

Lyricist:David Defeis

Guardian of the lies of faith
Darker now this tale of hate
Look into the eyes of death
Buried in another's flesh

Fate guide my hand as I ride hell's wind
Hole in the sky where the blackest spirits rage

Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again

Now you live and now you die
Across the lake of gorgon's eyes
Crimson blood, a hero's quest
Atone for death with still more death

Hate guides my hand as I smile within
Hole in the sky where the blackest spirits rage

Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again

Right's on the side of our twin thrones of war
Bold are the crowns in their hands
Bright are the signs of the godhead
Justice is found where the proud eagles reign

Blind persuasion, crack the holy tearless eyes
Will the true kings return, thunder greets you with a sword

Guardian of the lies of faith
Harken now this tale of hate
Noble deeds were done this day
Welcome home your ing betrayed

Fate guides my hand as I plunge this blade
Hole in your heart where the blackest furies rage

Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again

Hope is rising with the sound of our glory
We will see where we lie


31.Fight, Fight Tooth And Nail

Lyricist:David Defeis

Fight, fight tooth and nail
Fight, fight tooth and nail

It's the law of the jungle
The strongest will survive
And that's the rule I live by
Think fast and stay alive

Keep the eye of the tiger
Gather cunning, strength and speed
Use every trick you know
Don't retreat until they bleed

Your hand's a deadly weapon
Your teeth can rip in two
Get 'em before they get you
There's no more time to lose

Fight, fight tooth and nail
If you think they'll show you mercy
You better think again
You gotta fight

I'm akin to the lion, the tiger and the bear
I use what nature gives, to rip and
Slash and tear
I'm really very gentle, rather make love
Than go to war
But if you try to harm me
You'll die by nature's law

My hand's a deadly weapon
My teeth can rip in two
A present of death I give you
I'll run you through and through

Fight, fight tooth and nail
If you think they'll show you mercy
You better think again
You gotta fight

Once more into the cobra's nest
A poisoned victory
Blood stains the sands of history
If you'll wage war
You'll get no pity from me, oh no

Fight, fight tooth and nail
If you think they'll show you mercy
You better think again
You gotta fight


32.Last Rose Of Summer

Lyricist:David Defeis

There like an angel
A vision of light
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
Bloomed in my sight

Alone with the wind
And the sun in her hair
I've never seen anything so fair

And you're all I need
All I need

Our love will never die
I walk with you
Last rose of summer's day
Make love to me

Wake with the sunrise
When dreams walk the sky
She whispers, 'I love you'
Then sings, laughs and cries

A song of emotion
Borne of angel wings
Free as the seasons
Where love eternal springs

And you're all I need
All I need

Our love will never die
I walk with you
Last rose of summer's day
Make love to me

Sweet love
Don't cry no more
I'm with you, babe


33.Angel Of Light

Lyricist:David Defeis

Hurling down with thunder from on high
An ancient evil steals across the sky
Flaming power, death is in his wake
The lord of hell returns to rend and rape

Watch the lights as they devour you
A blazing presence rips you through and through
Blinded by such beauty, caught to unaware
You're stripped and burning
In his fiery stare

Howling furies shrieking backwards lies
Phantom armies summoned by their cries
Nothing equals this astounding sight
Of the beast unveiled in this unholy light

Watch the lights as they devour you
A blazing presence rips you through and through
Blinded by such beauty, caught so unaware
You're stripped down and burning in his fiery stare

Angel of light descends on the earth
To challenge the might of the son
The angel of light descends on the earth
To take back the crown from the one

No mercy doth the dragon bring
Harken now his beating wings
Fire dances on the air
The seventh serpent leaves his lair

Invoking all the hounds of Hades
The shrouded angels meet his gaze
Spouting flames upon the wise
The legions steal into the skies
To fly, to fly

Crushing, burning, locked in wars embrace
The desolate one meets with his fiery fate
His armies smitten by the sword of him
Our lord of lords, the holy king of kings

No more fear of phantoms of the night
Rejoice in the city of unending light
No more tears or dying, on his throne he's shining
Raise the chalice for eternity

Angel of light descends on the earth
And dies by the roar of the lamb
The angel of light descends on the earth
And is crushed by the might of the lamb


34.Love And Death

Lyricist:David Defeis, Edward Pursino

Offer me your mouth my dear
Let me hold communion with your flesh
Look into my eyes and fear
Follow in the footsteps of the beast

Come the dawn on judgment day
Will heaven let you in
To walk the realm of sorrow
Seven deadly sins

Love and death
Love and death
Love and death

Drink the wine of poison fruit
Dance in bitter tears beyond the tomb
Lay with me in pools of blood
Swim the seven seas of rage and ruin

Alive for all eternity
To join the seraphim
To wander in the darkness
For seven deadly sins

Love and death
Love and death
Love and death

Pale drenched in moonlight
You're a servant of the damned

Iron wings of ecstasy
A promise in the sand
Time will make you mine
Stolen shades of agony
Cut you to the bone

Time will make you mine
Come to dawn on judgment day
Will heaven let you in
To walk the realm of sorrow


35.Transfiguration

Lyricist:David Defeis

Rain falls, a lost voice calls, the day dies alone
Red blood slowly dripped down, stopped, sighed, fell to the
ground
Mixed with earth and became mud black blood
Rain from Heaven fills the seas of Hell

Cold rain runs from the sky
Blood is the secret, the bond between lives
Cold reign drowning the world, till the word was made flesh
Lips red, to alter led, with heart light, eyes bright

Now heart dead, eyes closed to bier led, lips white
Mixed with earth and became mud black blood
Rest in darkness, till we rise again

Cold rain runs from the sky
Death is a secret a fate between lives
Cold reign, timeless it falls, till the world is made whole

Fallin', fallin' over me drowning in the cold rain


36.Moira

Lyricist:David Defeis

Tears of blood, clouds hide the sun
The day goes black in my arms
Pain and love, the science of the world
Tears of blood fill my heart

Dry your eyes, the son will rise tomorrow
Born in blood, all must fall
Kill her, kill her

Mountains arise, the cities die
By the power of the will and mind

Drown my soul within your lips
The Scars of what might have been

Seas of blood, clouds hide the sun
The day goes black in my arms
