1. Lovecraft's Death The cold comes The rats in the walls break The deadly sound of silence As time decays You try to name the unnamable A whispererer in darkness Our hound smells you The haunter of the dark Will come to take you to our realm Your life, your books March in front your closing eyes Beyond the walls of sleep Lovecraft in the realm of the dead Obsessed with Necronomicon The Arab's wicked dream You found a path to Azathoth And walked the Dagon's realm Your friends were haunted too Do you remember Charles? Or haven't you heard The music of Erich Zann The call of Cthulhu we disguised With notes and raving rhythms To spread the seed of lurking fear Into the heart of man Lovecraft in the realm of the dead Your time is out you saw too much You used the silver key You know too well that minds like yours Can never rest in peace You stared at the abyss You'll never rest in peace You'll never rest in peace 2. Anubis Come Approach My trusty jackal's nose Don't try to lie Cause I can smell your hide Leave your body Leave this body now Your face can stay Upon this golden mask you made The brave in heart Can claim eternal life My scales of truth Will need sufficient proof Their balance depends On how your soul weights To walk with Gods The jaws of chaos you must pass Anubis My soul is so light And as this feather I can fly Anubis Don't let me wither and die I am proud for what I am The guardian of the dead Appointed by the gods To be their final judge Anubis Don't let me wither and die 3. Communion Alien faces Watching me Wearing wings They come to drink The ancient chalice Raised so high In a toast to those who fly Fallen angels burn the night Touch me with your hungry eyes Send your thoughts between the realms Sharing your eternal dreams Communion Some have seen your trembling lights Dancing in the cloudy night You appear as strange machines Changing form, to fit the scene Demons, angels, poltergeists Laughing as they play with minds Altering the face of truth So that seems as lie to fools Communion There are things that can't be seen They are the things that lurk within If you seal the mystic bond You will never be alone... "I wear your horns with shameless pride As a nailed crown Upon the severed head of a king." Watching... Communion Slay the false king And claim the throne 4. Babel's Gate You build a tower A giant mountain Opened a God's gate To reach the heavens Only power Rules this stargate You make a statue A golden idol Holding his sword high It will be placed up Only power Rules this stargate All want the power Now all divided You speak your words loud And cannot hear What the others try to say Blind confusion Tongues now slay Words are burning Babel's gate Human's reign Babel's gate Sky is on flames Babel's gate All in vain? Babel's gate Nothing same Only power Rules this stargate All want the power Now all divided You speak your words loud And cannot hear What the others try to say Blind confusion Tongues now slay Words are burning 5. We The Gods We, the gods - we, the gods - live high - to the heavens - right above your heads We, the gods - we, the gods - hide well - it's so difficult to find us Don't ever claim we are dead - we rest here and we guide you You need to be controlled - so yes, we will direct you Betrayers of our faiths - must pay the higher price Damnation for the weak - salvation for the faithful You pray and call our names - and think that we will hear you Maybe, you don't deserve - an audience with your masters We, the gods - we, the gods send dreams - to the humans of our choice We, the gods - we, the gods - give signs And you must recognize them We, the gods - we, the gods - save lives But we demand some sacrifice We, the gods - we, the gods Praise love - but also we know war Hold the spear - face our enemy - abandon yourself - to the storm of the battle We came in here - to live forever - we smell your flesh - and we smell your fear 6. Sunlight Moonlight Yesterday as I closed my eyes My weight was left behind, the body paralyzed It was a miracle, I floated as a ghost And there I saw my self lying upon my bed I stared down, I looked up Then tried to pass the walls and drift to the unknown It was the strangest call, as if I heard a soul I felt the need to find a creature bleeding light Sunlight / Moonlight I climbed the sky, above the clouds And there I saw some more That answered to the call Bright shining disks of light With wings made from the night The day had yet to come And so a hunt begun As my sun is now reborn My mind awakes, the body is on Remembrance will hold the door Until the night will send her call Sunlight / Moonlight 7. Persepolis Flutes and pipes / Play a drunken rhyme Entertaining / The soldiers in the palace Naked bodies / Female slaves from Asia Dance with promise / For a night of pleasure Mouths smell wine / The feast is going wild Victorious and glorious / The men exalt their king As in a fevered dream / Thais is entering And she provokes him / To do a special deed "You have conquered / The capital of orient Display your power / And make your enemies weep Destroy their pride / The jewel of the desert As they once destroyed / Our temples for their king" "Burn this city to the ground Take a torch and spread the fire" Persepolis / Now a pile of dust A blackened carcass / A land of ash Persepolis / You lost your crown Persepolis / Burned to the ground Consumed by hate / Ablaze by pride Persepolis / Naked as the sand Persepolis You lost your crown Persepolis Burned to the ground "Burn this city to the ground Take a torch and spread the fire" 8. Sangreal There's a sacred ancient cup Filled with royal bluish blood Sangreal, how real In a family of light Darkest secrets hide from eyes Sangreal, how real The elder blood Still runs on the veins The modern body A cup from our skin Dragon share your mystic soul With your children Make them strong Sangreal, how real In a family of light Darkest secrets hide from eyes Sangreal, how real Immortal show your fangs Reveal your hungry faces Blood needs blood Flesh needs flesh Life for life, soul for soul Immortals... There is no hope For the followers of lies There is no hope For the weak in the mind Sangreal, how real Sangreal... 9. Narcissus On the walls of Venus's temple The tale of Narcissus and Echo A beautiful young nymph Sentenced to repeat The last words of the others Never to talk first She fell in love with Narcissus And followed him longing to speak He said "Who is here" and she replied "Here" He called for her saying "Come" She just replied "Come" As none came near, Narcissus Called her again "Why do you shun me" She could only say the same These words hurt deep His pride his actions leads "I would rather die Than you should have me" Narcissus went forth To a fountain in the north He kneeled down to drink And then he fell in love He said "Who is here" His voice kept sounding "Here" He called again the one That couldn't ever come His face was young and In the crystal waters glowed His smile was cold reflecting Back a thought "I would rather die Than you should have me" Lyrics in plain text format
