- Across The Fields Of Forever
Well man created the cardboard box to sleep in it
And man converted the newspaper to a blanket
Well you have to admit that he's come a long way
Since swinging about in the trees
We're the smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeys
The evidence is all around
Our brains are bigger
- Aftermath
And thus was read the incantation
Voices echoed round and round
The woman smiled in weak elation
Mesmerized inside the sounds
And with these chants of higher lore
So mortal flesh began to fade
Soon child and mother were no more
- Angel Of Distress
Death! Possession!
At the gates of dawn,
she awaits your arrival.
Your loneliness, her way,
to realize her revival.
Only the weak shall die,
- Black Tears
When I'm in this state of mind
I'm wishing I was blind.
Sometimes life is more than pain, to me
I feel the power of my grief.
Death would be such a relief.
All the secrets that I hide would die, with me.
Depression is my only friend.
Will this torture never end?
- Blood Of My Enemies
Three sons have I,and they
Ride by my side.-The fierce,
The black, and the wicked are
their names-we ride down my
enemies on their half-hearted flight.
No voice of mercy-no evangels of light.
Mighty messengers-heathens rage
- Blood-Colored
I hear the sound of darkness
Moving closer to my ears.
All alone and wounded I lie here
Resembling all the years.
This war is over for mankind.
The X-machines will end us all.
Technology is fatal. We will see the future
And then we fall.
- Burn the Sun
[1.]
So what is life
Don't we all dream of dying or when to die
Mesmerized we try to find
the answers we rather keep inside
So what are we on our knees
and image of all that used be
Straight forward death campaign
- Crimson
Пролог:
В очень далеком будущем, последнее поколение планеты Земля
достигло момента когда они не могли больше плодиться.
Когда все потеряли свою веру, ребенок родился,
но никто не мог быть его отцом кроме бога.
Это дитя было подарком божественных небес или...
Другое небо помолодело...

- Crimson Part VII
The ones who didn't follow.
Now sharing this moment of grief.
The end of their own existence?
In death they had no belief.
Despite all the faith in their queen they couldn't believe
what they had seen.
What was the reason to this sacrifice.
Nothing is gained from this great demise.
- Disintegration
Striking hard, striking fast in desperation
The world around is filled with shades of red
Forced to stand in weak anticipation
As rivulets of blood run down the Child's head
The chamber fills with screams of violent rage
Of petulance and impotent frustration
Consumed with frenzied tidal waves of hate
The princess falls to earth in dark sedation
- Elegy
Crying. The anger and sorrow in your eyes is shining
thru your disguise, you can not hide all youer lies!
Falling. The abyss you enter is so deep, it doesn't
matter how much you will weep, you will never reach
the ground again. You're draining your emotions,
the poison is your God. Injection for depression. The
needle is your rod. Your heart will never feel. The
love that it will steal.
- Enigma
Confess your sins to God, don't be afraid.
Just like me of flesh and blood you're
made. I can heal your wounds and cleanse
your soul, but never return all those
lives you stole.
[The Witch:]
'You can burn in hell'
[The Preacher]
- Eternal Eclipse
I hate humanity and I will not hesitate to kill!
There's been this hatred since my birth, and I can feel it still
Deep inside my cold heart I am yearning to slay
And hence I know the law I know there's a better way
Only in the darkness, only in the anti-light
Can there be some silence in my mind
Praying to the darkest angels time and time again
- Feedin' the Charlatan
"We're Back!!!!"
All your life have been living lies
Locked inside your false paradise
Your problem is you're too blind to see
You have false illusions of being free
Catch up on reality
You're living in a dream
- Forever Together Forever
[1.]
Leaving the grind the mirror behind
loosing the ringth then and there
Whisper it was someone else and not me
How I wish I could
[2.]
I keep the secret within deep inside
Grasping without reaching anything
- Hell Is Where The Heart Is
In the strangest world of formlessness
I am reaching out to expand my mind
No more echoes and reflections
The future is now
I am the first in line
[2.]
Because I am alone
Here with my fantasies
- Helter Skelter
[1.]
Awakening
All victims gathered One happy family
"I am your father"
"I am your friend"
"And you are my children and
shall be to the end"
On the verge of insanity
- Hollow
[1.]
Depression ain 'the reason why everything turns grey
When my mind's been drained through the stream of frozen minds
The hollow one
And thousands have walked this narrow way
But I'm not that kind of man
I wanna stay in my old me
Not leave this peaceful space
- Incantation
And in the monastery garden sat a woman with a book
A manuscript that lay within her frail and trembling arms
She looked around her nervously as guilt rose in her heart
But the sway of curiosity had drawn her out too far
She wavered on the threshold of a dangerous decision
For this dark tome was no for human eyes to ever read
The pages dripped with legions of persuasive words and visions
- Inferno
[1.]
Inserted soul denied
No choice but staying alive
Left hand path laughter
Teh grin strenghts up my heartbeat
So wehere am I to turn
Here where the daylight burns
I'm left for living pain
- Livin' Hell
Twisted mind, malesting your own seed.
Yeah, bastard father you make me puke!!
"Your own flesh and blood"
You're killing your own breed to satisfy
Your macabre needs. She's afraid to tace
The outside worl. A well-known hell before
an unknown paradise. She's trying to kill her
memories, but she ain't got no weapon!!
- Losing Myself
Losing time,
Counting hours,
I'll never see myself again
And even though I'm alone
I can't remember what I'm missing,
So I leave it be
Closing down,
- Lost
I have seen eternity
I am the king of time
I am off the edge of sanity
My living ain't no crime
A soldier of existence
Chosen to be
Protector of the earth
I'll last eternally
- Murder Dividead
Drinking the water from my filthy cup,
The TV spits out news from a world so corrupt.
The media made me, now I make the news.
I'll make you follow on this carnage cruise.
Mass murder is my profession.
I kill and maim without discrimination.
You would not believe all the crimes I commit.
I make love to the dead whose throat I just slit.
- Of Darksome Origin
I am immortal, I am strong, I am godforsaken.
I am in command and nothing will go wrong.
I am eternal. I am blessed. I will awaken.
I am the reason too why all the dead can't rest.
Evil. I feel the darkness growing in my soul.
Power. Join me, the nightly, I am in control.
OF DARKSOME ORIGIN. BRING LIFE TO THE DEAD.

Music by Swano, Axelsson, Nerberg
Lyrics by Swano, Axelsson
Keyboards by Swano
It all began with the shades of what we never thought existed.
- Sacrificed
There's an evil wind blowing through my soul,
a firestorm that makes the mountains roll.
I can feel his might from day to night.
The fires of hell I can see them burning bright.
The time has come to take me away.
Way down deep to where the demons stay.
This day I see is my last up here.
I have no guilt and I have no fear.
- Silent
To live a life in silence, to live without the word.
I'm sitting here like a silent bird.
You try to understand the symbols of my hand.
I am like a rock that has turned to sand.
SILENT. MUTED FOR ETERNAL TIME? SO VIOLENT.
BUT I JUST CAN'T CONFESS MY CRIME.
Like every human being there is a thing I seek.
For me the day when I can finally speak.
- The Last Song
An empty paper in front of me
and the pen that is supposed be
the link between
my thoughs and the written word
I always believed that I could write
about anything
But I am always wrong somehow
- The Masque
Behind these eyes lies a mind
controlled by the thrill of a kill.
They've put a price on your head,
you don't mind you got a dream to fulfill.
It satisfies your every need, there's no
way you will stop. A normal man in a
normal world. A disguise that you'll never drop.
- Twilight
I close your eyes and whisper "Goodbye".
You will never see how I cry.
I can recall what you said to me once:
"If I leave there will be a sign"
And the twilight will show me tonight.
From dusk to dawn. That's when we arise.
All souls forlorn, come down from the skies.
- Until Eternity Ends
Waiting for something to come out of the dark
I know I have seen him, his presence is cold
Wherever he's moving, he's leaving his mark
Thunder and lightning strikes, and hell unfolds
Ruler of shadows is coming to cross
the open fields where his soldiers fought
No sign of sadness no remorse for the loss
- Velvet Dreams
I wipe the dust from shoulders, the dust from velvet sands.
In dreamland of non-divine, free of all space and time.
I watch across the fileds, the fields of forever.
And as the sand turns t ostars in my eyes... I'm no longer blind.
Start to walk thru landscapes of frozen glass.
The velvet sands reflect me like a mirror.
My skin is pale blue but I feel my body burning with fever.
I see myself in the velvet sand, what am I? Human, soul or demon??
