I Will Live Again

[Lyrics: Angela Gossow, Music: Michael Amott / Daniel Erlandsson / Christopher Amott]

I don’t know
I cannot see
Who we are now
How we used to be

Is it you?
Or is it we?
Look in the mirror
We are a fading memory

Where are we?
We got lost
In the cold

I will live again you’ll see – tomorrow’s not scaring me
Far away from yesterday – just take this pain away

Fatal chaos
Hurtful lies
A broken dream
Is all we left behind

Is it you?
Or is it we?
Look in the mirror
Just a fading memory

Dead Inside

Spiritual Isolation - The ultimate frustration
Scratch the surface, tuurn another page
The ugly truth or another pretty lie
You deceived me, I believed you
Why did everything go...

So wrong...
For so long...
So the truth comes out at last

I'm dead inside
(I'm burning up)
A hollow shell
(My private hell)
In my own misery
You leave me to dwell

Then we were young and strong
Now everything is wrong
Did you want me, did you need me
Could you not say you believed me?
Everything we had is gone...
Like an old forgotten song
The deceiver and believer
Now everything is...

So wrong... for so long.

In This Shallow Grave

[Lyrics: Michael Amott, Music: Michael Amott / Christopher Amott / Daniel Erlandsson]

Who is your god – is he not mine?
Who is your devil – are we the same?
What makes you worse
What makes me better

Never to trust again – how long have I got?

In this darkened maze
They keep me away – they scream at night
Screams at night

Who is your master
In this shallow grave?

Born to die for a lie
I have no soul – I have no pride
Genocide

Where is justice in this hell?
Where is liberty – I paid the price
My life blood runs dry
Slowly drained from me

[Lead – Christopher]
[Harmony – Michael & Christopher]
[Lead – Christopher]
[Lead – Michael]

Screams at night
…Alone is this shallow grave I die…

Machtskampf

Flying high on blackened wings
Vengeance in my eyes
Colder than steel, instantly real
A new power flows in me

Reaching out for something
Knowing that it's there - Somewhere

All I had was
All I gave
Was it not enough?
You took
You take
Never giving anything back

Bridges that I thought I crossed
Got to cross them all again
These paths that lead to nowhere
Mocked me all my life

Make a change
Break the chain
Make a change
End this game

Vengeance in my eyes
A new power flows in me

Mechanic God Creation

The human race
Like a chromatic stain
Lost in concrete fields
Hybrids of steel

Mechanic god creation
Enter annihilation

We are rendered obsolete
Just a relic at their feet
Not cold enough - Too human

The doomsday machine
Created by man
Like a black dawn rising
To conquer - Conquer and destroy

Mechanic god creation
Enter annihilation

Climbing the walls
The walls are too high
They swallow the Sun
Ebony sky

We are rendered obsolete
Just a relic at their feet
Not cold enough - Too human

Nemesis

We walk this Earth
With fire in our hands
Eye for an eye
We are Nemesis

We are with you
Countless vicious souls
Fight! - Fighting for freedom
United we stand

We are legion
Voice of anarchy
This is revolution
Creating new disorder

We are enemy
Opponent of the system
Crushing hypocrisy
Slaying the philistine

One for all - All for one
We are strong - We are one
Nemesis

A malicious fever burns
In our hearts, In our veins
Your blood, My blood
All blood runs the same

 Night Falls Fast

[Lyrics: Angela Gossow, Music: Michael Amott]

This earth speaks of darkness
To come in the blood of man
The air breathing poison
All waters running black

Until the sun rises and set on death
The sky burns red like sheer hate
The light in our eyes will fade
To join the darkness of our souls

The earth is losing its light
Night falls fast
Watch the dying sun
We are lost

No angel dares to land
In this hell of mankind’s making
Buried all beauty in our foulness
Nature begins to shine its fury

Until the sun rises and sets on death
The sky burns red like sheer hate

[Harmony – Michael & Christopher]
[Lead – Michael]
[Lead – Christopher]

Night falls fast upon mankind
Pray for the dead

The sky burns red
Like sheer hate

Pilgrim

From the womb, to the tomb
An eternal struggle for the holy truth
We are not the first, nor shall we be the last
We shall be followed by thousands more
Study the scriptures - Intensify the faith
The works of men much greater than you or I
From the cradle to the grave
Thousands of immortal souls just waiting to be saved!

Pilgrim man - What are you searching for?
Believe the tales when everything else fails
Pilgrim man - Deep in your heart you know
Your faith is already bought and sold

All my life I served the cross
Always believing my God was a just one
I maimed for you - I killed for you
But looking back at my life
I just don't know anymore...

Revolution Begins

[Lyrics: Michael Amott, Music: Michael Amott / Christopher Amott]

Since the day that you were born the wheels are in motion
Turning even faster – play your part in the big machine
The stage is set, the road is chosen
Your fate preordained
We are watching you – every step of the way

Never too late to stand your ground – revolution begins
In you – in me – Revolution!

Once lost – lost in their game
Mental chains breaking now
Set yourself free
Who are they to tell you what to do?
The stage is not set, the road is not chosen
You fate not preordained
They are losing control – every step of the way

[Lead – Michael]
[Harmony – Michael & Christopher]

This is revolution!

[Outro lead – Christopher]

Rise Of The Tyrant

[music: Michael Amott, lyrics: Angela Gossow]

The end is near. Panic is closing in. Sick with fear they run
Watch freedom’s fall. What have we become? Cannon foder

[Lead – Christopher]

Reign of terror. Enslave the nations – devastation!
This is war – Pull the trigger. One nation under their control
Rise – The Tyrants rise! The enemy inside – The tyrants rise
The end is here – Feel it closing in
Blood runs red

Watch in horror – Our lives destroyed
We failed

[Lead – Michael]

The final holocaust
Enslave the nations – annihilation!

This is war – Pull the trigger. One nation out of control

[Lead – Christopher] [Lead – Michael]
[Lead – Christopher] [Lead – Michael]

War, pain suffering
The price we pay to stay alive
Blood, fire, death
His Glory come, his kingdom rise
This world will burn!
