9. Templar's Arise

Our 13th Century ceremony - a vile & wicked rite
A virgin child we took that night, her blood for eternal life
Local peasants tortured us - another daughter sacrificed
With flaming torches in our eyes - our bodies they burned alive
500 years of darkness - entombed devoid of sight
The crowds came out to mock us on this carnival night
Clowns & dolls of Templars ridicule our sacred cult
The Blind Dead have arisen - so now your blood be spilt
Rise! Rise! Blind Dead Arise! Rise!
As fireworks light up your sky - your jolly music plays
Beside our monastery ruins, we're rising from the grave
Decomposed monk warriors with swords enter your town
Riding spectral horses - in Crimson seas you dro

1. Phoenix Rising

Alter of the sun god,
We melt before your flames.
Children of darkness
Bound in human chains
Hellfire kindles the hatred in our hearts
All love has frozen from you, we are torn apart

To the sun we are blind
As we watch our world die
From the ashes of demise
Our burning phoenix shall arise

Soldiers of fortune fighting unto death
Condemned in armour sold for their last breath
Upright citizents to decadence enslaved
Peak of pleasure waiting in your graves

To the sun we are blind
As we watch our world die
From the ashes of demise
Our burning phoenix shall arise

As pur dreams turn into burning ash
We crystalise in flames,then fly

2. Resisting The Ghost

Living dead vampiress
Trying to taunt me back to the grave
My black and macabre past
Summoning me forever a slave
Black sun arising
Howling moon it screams
As spider's web she's weaving again
Hallucinations sucking me in

Resisting the ghost
My former life host
Resisting the ghost
Echoed celebrations

Haunt loves hollow room
Motivation mortally trapped
In regrets obsessive tomb
A stake she's thrusting

3. Skullflower

She plants a seed in my head
Opium narcosis hypnotic dread
I feel her death growing in me
Like a cancer,yet i crave the disease
Mesmeried by her strange power
Beauty and death in union
She blossoms in the 13th hour
Skullflower

Hollow skull emotionless grin
Arcane tunnels sucking me in
Black vortex in her eyes
Reminds me of a love that died
Lady death evolves from a flower
Growing upon my own tomb
Into her groung i'm sinking lower
Skullflower

4. Aphrodite's Winter

Frozen land mesmerised by her arcane mystery
Goddess of the underworld cold queen of lost beauty
Gazed upon earth's battleground
At mankind's misery
With her saddness came love's death
As violence slowly siezed

Her wheeping tears of darkness crytallised the earth
As warmth turned colder, her grief chilled away all mirth
Frosted armies paused in war now wearing beards of snow
Perishing forevermore, her bite numbs to the bone

Housed in icy caves, men of peace rest in these times of woe
Shaking in glass coffins, waiting for the sun to glow
She cast her spell on earth and all emotion died
Her languid heart dulled the skies with love's demise

5. Empty Mirror

Chasing my own death through life
A future trapped in yesterday
When everything was fresh and bright
Then innocence found its grave

Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker

Summer came in rays of light
Overwhelming joy it gave
Blinding all life's pain from sight
Golden days could not be saved

Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker

In dark caves
Wisdom reigns
Awareness dulls ambition's flame
Like a corpse
In soil laid

6. Nocturnal Fist

Riding this blackened life, this odyssey
Searching for the keys that set you free
From emptiness, futility, mountain of strength ? you can be
Stop hiding in the void, come ride with me
In the darkest hour, wear your crown of stars
Pain and funeral power strengthens your black heart
Reading through the lines that square you in
Believing in yourself, your only sin

A routine life of sheep in line, stand out child,
You will shine
In darkness you alone can be divine
In your darkest hour you are made of stars
Pain and funeral power strengthens your balck heart
Black odyssey, a search to be free
Look for the keys, come ride with me
See through the lies with funreal insight
Then you will shine in darkness divine

7. Iconoclast

Guardians of darkness set my spirit free
From this land of madness,give me something to believe
Your system and religion control me like a disease
Strenght and determination
Almost let you bleed
They'll let you bleed

No god's,no masters,no authority
Only yourself
Divine disciples controll your destiny,
Believe in yourself

Baptism of fire into society
Crucified and brainwashed,told just what to believe
Drowned in holy water to cleanse in purity
Guilty for existing,your mind will never be free
You'll never be free

No god's,no masters,no authority

8. Black Robed Avenger

Black robed avenger
Rides upon a white horse through my mind
In search of love he finds
A spectral planet lost in space and time
He dreams of paradise
Suspended animation greets his eyes
Across barren deserts,a universal wilderness he seeks
Palaces crumbled
Sceletons remain of fallen kings
Bleak storms and hurricanes
He braved ti discover loves atomic grave
He found salvation
Within a void of loneliness and pride
The land of selfish man
A frozen world in winter's hands
A weary traveller
Stares into the heart of human kind
Souls of planet earth
Entombed inside a giant ball of ice
