The End
There’s a child staring across the water
As he sights his forgotten father
Tears flow from his hideous face
The face that has lived through the hell of his race
The time is lost as he sights the moon
The music is sweet, he begins to swoon
The water is rising, washing away any evidence
Of the failures and ruins – the destruction of man
The taste of salt is in his mouth
As he stares at the emptiness left in the south
His body is numb, unfeeling to this death
He dies with three sixes engraved on his breast
Now there remains only the water,
Just a fragment of sand, and the blood on the altar
Has flowed through the generations of blindness
As they prayed to their symbols of peace and kindness.

Two Powers
The dream, it ends
Or was it real?
My mind cannot recall
I saw the world
Engulfed in sea
The power forces fall
I begin to fall into a deep sleep
Or is it another dream?
I saw the world
A lump of clay
Just hanging there in space
And in the core
The rock contorts
To form an ugly face
Tears condense and fall upon the earth
Life begins again . . .
Foliage spreads across the earth
The sunlight gives us warmth to ease the birth
Creatures crawling, swimming, flying-
Fighting
Two Powers arise and one descends
Two Powers to fight until the end
The race is on, the battle has begun

The Omen
I ruled a world possessed with hate
Its destruction was a product of your fate
This world is done, I’ll build a new
Though my father is king, his reign is through
Watch my hatred flow
As my offspring grow
Now I rule again
The Omen.
The seed is sown to create my tainted son
Eyes open wide, mission has begun
Watching father, thunder cracks the sky
Feel the pain, it’s his turn to die
Watch my hatred flow
As my offspring grow
Now I rule again
The Omen.

Message to the Children
I rule the sky, messenger of light
And the world is new once again
I had failed before, my son prevailed in war
He was drowned and sent to repent.
But things turned out differently
A ruler he must be
Now he reigns in Hell.
His intentions? Well . . .
He has set out to crush the world again
He has planted his seed and death awakens within
The time has come for the people to see
It is I who will grant them their dreams
It’s not over yet, nor will it ever be
But the pain! I must end misery.

A Crystal Vision
Now the time has come.
The battle will begin once again-
Death.
The two powers will fight for control
Will the Omen tempt the soul?
Man may perish again for he will
Never feed the light.
No, man is never right.
He’ll never win the fight.
I sense the rain.
You children of Christ aren’t any better.
Your world is getting wetter now!
Man may perish again for he will
Never feed the light.
No, man is never right.
He’ll never win the fight.
I sense the reign.

Magick Son
As the battle subsides neither power has won.
Like a star falls a second son,
Made in the likeness of the other.
Casting spells, the wizard knows the ways
Black and white – highest grade
Watch him weave spell after spell
Hear my prophecy
Doom shall come to thee
Perpetual night
Dark must join with light
Magick Son warns us of the end
Magick Son – a bolt of light, he does descend
Magick Son warns us of the end
Magick Son, our ways we must amend.
Before the two the twin speaks his peace
Yet they frown, both in disbelief
Watch him turn earth into water.
Both father and son scorn at this plea
It’s been this way forever, and so it shall be.
Both sons prepare to fight
As the king stares on in fright.
The dark one conjures up despair,
Magick Son is sucked into the air!

The face that has lived through the hell of his race
The time is lost as he sights the moon
The music is sweet, he begins to swoon
The water is rising, washing away any evidence
Of the failures and ruins – the destruction of man
The cycle goes on.
The taste of salt is in his mouth
As he stares at the emptiness left in the south
His body is numb, unfeeling to this death
He dies with three sixes engraved on his breast
Now there remains only the water,
Just a fragment of sand, and the blood on the altar
Has flowed through the generations of blindness

Shadow Out Of Time
Before time was known to man was
The shadow out of time.
Before the moon was seen above
Was the shadow out of time.
Incantations fill the air,
Now hear the tribal members cry.
Feel the vengeance in their song
As another savage dies.
Chant by candle, pray to flame.
Sun and moon remain the same.
Mourn the death, a tribal boy
Now a corpse cold and tame.
Dark hides terror of the night.
Now enter precious holy light.
Moon is high and rules the sky.
No more will your people die.
Shadow out of time.
All rise, join hands, the invocation
Has begun!
By the pagan goddess and the
Horned one – so be it!
By the flames of the underworld
They shall light our skies again
Cease darkness.
This rite had ended.

The Ferryman’s Lair
Death is his life
He kills the innocent for his own need
The end of his knife
Is stained with the blood of a forgotten creed
Running alone
Living his life in sincerity
The end of a throne
Satisfies his need for security
Many men before, in their foolish youth
Have tried to mislead the ferryman
To pass the cold waters, with reason uncouth
They tried to play him a merryman
From a forgotten land
He rules the waters to eternity
His bony hand
Is ridden with the blood of his daring prey
He works for a god
And a devil as well
But oh! Watch him nod
As you enter his hell!
Many men before, in their foolish youth
Have tried to mislead the ferryman
To pass the cold waters, with reason uncouth
They tried to play him a merryman
He peers out from his hood
Laughing aloud as you step in his lair
His black ugly hood
Stares into souls as he asks for his fare
But take care, foolish passenger
Please beware of the ferryman
Many men before, in their foolish youth
Have tried to mislead the ferryman
To pass the cold waters, with reason uncouth
They tried to play him a merryman

Rising From the Grave
On this night my spirit will rise
Through your life death takes disguise
Your deceit has tortured my soul
Take revenge, my hatred now unfolds
Into the night I’ll take your useless life
Feel my vengeance as I kill you with my knife
Rising from the grave-
Feel my evil knife
Rising from the grave-
I’ve come for you, I’ve come
Tonight
Rising from the grave-
Feel my evil knife
Rising from the grave-
I’ve come to take your life.
The time has come for all to take
The sacred oath.
The time has come for the dead
To avenge the living.
This oath shall be the doorway to
your world.
It is sacred. Unite darkness
with light.
On this night all remains the same
Except your life, it ends in writhing pain.
