4. Before The Vision
[Music: Abell, Shawver / Lyrics: Schaffer]
[Spoken:]Oh, God, am I going crazyWhat is happening to me, I need some answersI've been chosen by the darkest force in natureBut why, why me?
Call of the spirits:Go now, into the plainsSeek out, the answers you'll findVisions will be shown to youAt night by the lit desert moon
Be strong, ride forth in prideOur destiny, lies in your handsVisions will be shown to youYou're truly his chosen one

5. Mystical End
[Music: Schaffer / Lyrics: Schaffe]
On the plains of the desertA murmured cry was heardFrom the echoes of a wind songSinging of a word
The word of the land begottenIs very seldom taughtTo natives of the desertWhich tribes of old have sought
Way up in the sky the sun is burning brightAll the natives screaming, screaming to be freeThe teachings of a wasted life and a darker deathThe burning sun is turning black falling from the sky
[Bridge]
As the moon fades awayAnd the sun turns blackThe darkest fall from the skyPrepared for their attackIn the dawning hourThe doom and destruction beginsInside the natives mindsIt seems it never endsAt once the sun turns backAnd the battle stopsEveryone's in grave dangerExcept for those of the deadFor the one who shall deceive usIs the one...
On the day of the night things were always wellBut on the night of the light all night things fellThrown into the pit you hear the natives screamThe legend lives on in the Sun God's eye

6. Desert Rain
[Music: Schaffer, Abell / Lyrics: Schaffer]
The sympathy in my mind is growing coldLife is like the burning sand so I'm toldThe time is coming near when solitude appearsTake the chains of oppression away
Through the sands of time I'm marching onThe blistering rays of hate strengthen meThe violent mass has shown my destinyDoes all of this justify the rage inside
[Chorus:]The desert rain is changing meIt's called on me to rise
A world of hate and maliceYes, that's the way it seemsThe hour glass is running outThe serpent rides with me
We shall rise and conquerCrushing all that's weakAll that's light is burning outThe serpent rides with me
[Repeat chorus]

7. Pure Evil
[Music: Schaffer, Shawver / Lyrics: Schaffer]
Cannons pound into the nightAngels soar into the skyThe battle rages onDeliverance unholy one
The seeds of hate fly tonightGood and evil light the skyAnother vision from insideI know it's wrong I can't deny
For seven years I have reignedIn this damned and desolate hellNow I've lived the masters vengeanceIt saved me from myself
We paint the sky with blood tonightSetting free the damned to fightThe whore of Babylon is hereThe end of the storm is near
[Chorus:]Pure evilFeel the pain from the jackals wrathPure evilDance in flames for the final quest
Hear the ghost of violenceFear the God of detriment
The land on earth is soaked with bloodHear the screams of the helpless onesAxes yield and daggers flyRipping through all flesh in sight
We paint the sky with blood tonightSetting free the damned to fightThe whore of Babylon is hereThe end of the storm is near
[Repeat chorus]

8. Reaching The End
[Music: Schaffer / Lyrics: Schaffer]
Now I feel that I've reached the endAnd the end of my quest is close at handWhat have I doneI've reached the endAnd as my life slowly fades awayThere's not one single thing that I'd changeWhat have I doneI've reached the end

9. Travel In Stygian
[Music: Schaffer / Lyrics: Schaffer]
Through the flames I watchAs you plead on your kneesThe reaper awaits
The ride that you takeThrough the lake, lake of flamesWill decide your fate
Was all of it worth eternal painThe path you chose to live in vainThe river Styx is calling your numberThe hot winds of Hell breathe your name
[Bridge]
On the night that it came to meIt was like nothing I'd ever seenA vision darker than death itselfA violent cloud straight from the depths of hellAnd that's when I saw my destinyAs it approached I was frozen stillI couldn't move, couldn't scream for helpOut of the darkness it reached for meAnd that's when it planted the evil seedAnd that's when I saw my destiny
[Chorus]
Travel in StygianThe damned scream my nameTravel in StygianI can't repent it's too lateTravel in StygianHot winds blow upon meTravel in StygianNo remorse it's too late
[Bridge]
The henchman awaits youYes that's right, step aboardWe have a very long journeyYou owe usYou got what you wantedIn your mortal lifeNow your soul is in our graspIt's time
Riding on the hot winds of hellTraveling down in the ship of painI chose this fate no turning backThe river Styx has called for me.

1. Burning Times
[Schaffer, Barlow]
Yesterday is gone foreverNo turning back the clockIn the end, all is sinfulNo need to bear the painThe end, is coming soonYou can't hold out foreverRepent your sins to meBefore you pass this world
In this time I am lawI know you've been betrayedFrom man's word, I'm given lifeThrough loss, I only gainFor you, I feel no sympathyNo sorrow, no remorseConfess your sins to meThey'll be taken by force
[chorus]It doesn't matter what you've doneIn my words you are a sinnerFor every word you say to meIn every way, you are a sinner
Question me notI am the one that binds this worldYou follow without sightI grow stronger every dayTake the souls I have damnedBurn them in my nameThese are the burning timesThe years of pain

2. Melancholy (Holy Martyr)
[Schaffer]
Make the sadness go awayCome back another dayFor years I've tried to teachBut their eyes are emptyEmpty too I have becomeFor them I must dieA sad and troubled raceAn ungrateful troubled place
[chorus]I see the sadness in their eyesMelancholy in their criesDevoid of all the passionThe human spirit cannot dieLook at the pain around meThis is what I cry forLook at the pain around meThis is what I'll die for
Make the sadness go awayCome back another dayThe things I've said and doneDon't matter to anyoneBut still, you push me to seeSomething, I can never beWhy am I their shattered king?I don't mean anything
I see the sadness in their eyesMelancholy in their criesDevoid of all the passionThe human spirit cannot dieLook at the pain around meThis is what I cry forLook at the pain around meThis is what I'll die for

3. Disciples Of The Lie
[Schaffer]
You abuse and you victimizeBut you're dignified, so you justifyIt's in your eyes where deception liesSo you criticize with cruel eyesFather in black, black as sinPure hypocrisy to no endCondemnning me and my fellow manI live my life among the damned
[Chorus]I've gotta do as you say, not as you doYou're a man of the cloth, I'm comin' for youYou say you can save me, cleanse me of my sinA holy predator, the wolf in sheepskinDisciples of the lie
Breeding fear in your twisted smilePedophile, in denialI taste revenge when I think of youA life of hell you put me throughWhen I find you I'll take yououtNo remorse, you're going downYou see satisfaction in my eyesI vindicate, now you die
I've gotta do as you say, not as you doYou're a man of the cloth, I'm comin' for youYou say you can save me, cleanse me of my sinA holy predator, the wolf in sheepskinDisciples of the lie
The blackness inside overwhelms meThe pain engulfs and turns to rage in meTrapped so deep in my mental hellRelease the demons, set me free
I've gotta do as you say, not as you doYou're a man of the cloth, I'm comin' for youYou say you can save me, cleanse me of my sinA holy predator, the wolf in sheepskin

4. Watching Over Me
[Schaffer]
I had a friend many years agoOne tragic night he diedThe saddest time of my lifeFor weeks and weeks I criedThrough the anger and through the tearsI've felt his spirit through the yearsI'd swear, He's watching meGuiding me through hard times
[chorus]I feel it once againIt's overwhelming meHis spirit's like the windThe angel guarding meOh, I know, oh, I knowHe's watching over meOh, I know, oh, I knowHe's watching over me
We shared dreams like all best friendsBlood brothers at the age of tenWe lived reckless, he paid the priceBut why? Why did he have to die?It still hurts me to this dayAm I selfish for feeling this way?I know he's an angel nowTogether we'll be someday
I feel it once againIt's overwhelming meHis spirit's like the windThe angel guarding meOh, I know, oh, I knowHe's watching over meOh, I know, oh, I knowHe's watching over me
