Two Powers
04:36
|
|||
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 plane ?
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 & 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,& one descends
Two powers to fight until the end
The race is on, the battles begun

The Ferryman's Lair
04:49
|
|||
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 fall 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 & a devil as well
Oh ! watch him nod as you enter his hell
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 !

Message To The Children
05:59
|
|||
I rule the sky,messenger of light
And the world is anew once again
I had failed before,my son preaviled in war
He was drowned & 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

Rising From The Grave
05:43
|
|||
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
Thsi 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

The Beginning
04:50
|
|||
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 & ruins -
the destruction of man
The cycle goes on
The taste of salt 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 blood on the altar
Has flowed through the
generations of blindness
As they prayed to their symbols of peace & kindness

Magick Son
05:00
|
|||
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 & white,highest grade
Watch him weave spell after spell
Hera 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 & son scorn at this plea
It's been this way forever & 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 up into the air !

Shadow Out Of Time
04:02
|
|||
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 & moon remain the same
Mourn the death,a tribal boy
now a corpse cold & tame
Dark hides terror of the night
Now enter precious holy light
Moon is high & 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 & the horned one - so be it
By the flames of the underworld
they shall light our skies again
Cease darkness
This rite has ended

The Omen
02:51
|
|||
I ruled a world possessed with hate
It's destruction was a product of your fate
This world is done,I'll build anew
Though my father is king,
his reign is through
Watch my hatred flow
As my offspring grow
Now I'll rule again
The Omen
The seed is sown to create
my tainted son
Eyes wide open,mission has begun
Watching father,thunder cracks the sky
Feel the rain,it's his turn to cry

A Crystal Vision
04:41
|
|||
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 !
