INTRO/ BEHOLD+THE LAND OF PROMISE (music: Chris A.) UNBELIEVER ( music: Spiros A, lyrics: Sotiris V.) Hate me, help me, convert my mind. Direct me to your gloom the halls of kingdom come. To the land of no return take me ignorant. Show me your master and creator. Take me; take me to the tombs of your sacred relics, where bodies bend like weak betrayers. What a fitting punisher you are. Bring your own redemption. The touch of the nails to the skin is the fruit of your love for masochism. I don't deserve your trance. I am the adversary of a dominant race of zealots. I am the kind that doubts the unreason. Unbeliever I won't forget to ask the questions before I give an answer to me. On the land of no return there are all that you can't find: The lack of sense, the lack of anything that you can feel. I won't decide to play the master instead I chose to be. You say I am incomplete, I say I `ll always be. Cover your mouth with tape. Cover your heart with pain. Cover your eyes with shame. Spend all your life in vain. I don't deserve your trance. I am the adversary of a dominant race of zealots. I am the kind that doubts the unreason. Hate me, help me, convert my mind. Direct me to your gloom the halls of kingdom come. To the land of no return take me ignorant. Show me your master and creator. I don't deserve your trance. I am the adversary of a dominant race of zealots. I am the kind that doubts the unreason. Unbeliever THE VIRTUES OF THE BEAST ( music: Spiros A, lyrics : Sotiris V. ) Hail to those that walk my lonely path, bearing the mark of the chosen one. They are the cross! They are the travellers of the plains, common ground of all directions. They lead to me, I lead to them. Never lie to me, the father of lies. Never deny your deeper desires. To all those true to me, their instinct and mind, I grant, the virtues of the beast+ The Virtues of the Beast Forged in fire, iron wills of warlocks and witches nourish me. With their love they heal my broken wings, making me strong, lifting me up, above the dream. Blessed are the restless minds, the angel tribes : for They shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the morning stars : for They shall burn the heavens with their Luciferian light. The Virtues of the Beast Never lie to me the father of lies. Never deny your deeper desires. To all those true to me, their instinct and mind, I grand the virtues of the Beast+ The Virtues of the Beast FAUST ( music: Chris A, lyrics: Sotiris V.) All my life I strived to gain insight to things that scared most men. Through the dungeons of the mind I learned the tricks playing with fire. Evil wears a weird facade invented to project man's hate for the painful, the unknown, the feared and the forbidden. I dreamed the devil was I. My quest complete. I dreamed the devil was I. I was awake. My quest complete. Faust Captive from philosophies that root on hopes like rotten trees, I see the hanged men on their ropes. Which harvester will rip these crops? If their soul deserved a dime their chance is lost, no bargain now. I want now all that I can get. Riches, power, pleasure without end. I dreamed the devil was I. My quest complete. I dreamed the devil was I. I was awake. My quest complete. Faust I dreamed the devil was I. Faust WHEN ALL IS NONE (music: Spiros A, lyrics: Sotiris V.) So they promised you the stars, the happiness of your distant hopes. But as you tried to catch the moon, its silver cape slipped through your fingers. Fake was the dawn of their morality. You are drowning from the flow of your emotions. When all is none. There is a miracle for every soul, an easy way to loose control. The puppeteer and his dolls entertain the frantic crowd. Invisible lands your stolen laughs, when all is none. When all is none. Who would be the most competent guardian for you, than yourself? Always in range, under detention even at your sleep. Your life, a white chalk on a small blackboard. When all is none. Die. When all is none. RED CODE CULT ( music: Sotiris V, lyrics: Sotiris V.) Equinox is at hand, the gates are now aligned. Raise the candles in the air and give the secret sign. The temperature is dropping down, our breath seems now like smoke. The guardians of the shadow lands will blind the heathen eyes. Our mental variation; a phantom made from light. With red we paint our fantasy until it breathes with might. Deciphering the code that releases the unknown, we make the wanted possible, material like the stone. Red Code Cult Welcome to our church disciples of the jackal. Your nature is key. Now raise the veils of the misty tyranny of the fake laws. Open the Choronzone. Our mental variation; a phantom made from light. With red we paint our fantasy until it breathes with might. Deciphering the code that releases the unknown, we make the wanted possible, material like the stone. Red Code Cult DARK RIVER ( music: Chris A. - Sotiris V, lyrics: Sotiris V. ) Can you pay the fair? Open your mouth and spit the buried coin. The boat is ready to sail. Step inside, I am the ferryman. We `ll sail the river of woe The Dark River Dark River On its brink is the end of hope. The Dark River, Acheron And a wind blew cold, like the breath of a dying man. And the waters spawned sounds, from the motion of slimy reptile tongues. My guests are many, and they won't leave this peaceful place of fading screams. Eyes shut, gaze mesmerized at the circular form of zero. They sailed the river of woe. The Dark River Dark River They found the end of hope. The Dark River, Dark River They found the end of hope. The Dark River, Acheron On tunnels underground chthonian deities mock the icons that turned blank, the shades of the once beautiful. Can you pay the fair? Open your mouth and spit the buried coin. The boat is ready to sail. Step inside, I am the ferryman+ Acheron Dark River Acheron MAGIC LOVES INFINITY (music: Sotiris V, lyrics: Sotiris V.) Desire manifests with endeavour, a form of spiritual eroticism. Magic is a goblet that seems hollow. A fountain strives to fill it to the brim. Magic Loves Infinity A masquerade of visions so profoundly loved, shroud the murky eyes of the sorcerers. Evoked from the vortex of their mind fields, as waves they spread in circles to reach the endless sea. Magic Loves Infinity SUMERIAN DAEMON (music: Spiros A, lyrics: Sotiris V. ) On the land between the rivers where lions fly and serpents rule, I cross the road to the ziggurat as darkness hides the moon. I came to seek the advice of Inanna, the goddess of love and war. But the path is unclear like the words of a Seer from the movement of the dunes. Windy whisperers come, from beyond the clouds. Descend with glory to the plane earth. Gas shaped nauseous forms hide behind the storm, as scorpions blended with the yellow red sand. Before me are the steps that lead to virtual ascension, a mystical technology, the temple of dimensions. The mysteries of Sumer manifest inside the chamber that sits upon the top of this artificial mountain. Sumerian Daemon My veins are black from the blood of Tiamat. My eyes are wide like the wheels of space and time. My will is strong like a blow from Marduk`s sword. I am no human now because I choose to know+ Sumerian Daemon MECHANICAL BABYLON ( music: Spiros A, lyrics: Sotiris V. ) A malfunction to the machine. She chews its screws of sanity, loosing parts of human seed, as she lusts for electricity. Plastic attitude, gray emotions. Wear your cables and join with me. Boring lives in entropy. Incorporeal surgery. Environmental therapy for the genes that threat security. A new breed of mass murderers, instructed from their parents to do the task. Mechanical our whore Babylon. The old hag looks so young in her dress of silicon. A jungle in her heart made from concrete, glass and metal. Mechanical our whore Babylon. Her kiss of methadone is a drug that steals control. She wants her clockwork toy disconnected from the physical. Plastic attitude, gray emotions. Wear your cables and join with me. Boring lives in entropy. Incorporeal surgery. Mechanical our whore Babylon. The old hag looks so young in her dress of silicon. A jungle in her heart made from concrete, glass and metal. Mechanical our whore Babylon. INFERNAL SUN ( music: Sotiris V, lyrics: Sotiris V.) Silent but not alone, you are waiting for the Dawn to open the gates of the horizon. So that you can get through the chasm that cuts in two the worlds of now, the worlds of ever. Casting your fiery arrows, a hunter among the stars. Up from your golden chariot, You throw the spear of time. Infernal Sun You act like a rightful tyrant casting away the cold. Your crown is the flame infernal, eating the heat of soul. Infernal Sun Silent but not alone, you are waiting for the Dawn to open the gates of the horizon. So that you can get through the chasm that cuts in two the worlds of now, the worlds of ever. EMPIRE OF THE WATCHERS ( music: Sotiris V, lyrics: Sotiris V.) The watchers learned to fly and bridged the realms defined. The wealth was spreading far and wide. A sorcery divine. >From the abode of heavens the seed of life was cast. Celestial orbs and fireballs from conflict fashioned lands. Nocturnal treasures glow and frozen crystals dance. The wealth was spreading far and wide. A sorcery divine. Fallen angels They were called; the feared, the loved, the worshiped+ They came to build a new empire, to make a land of promise. Protectors of the realms, these beacons in the sky. They warned about the cataclysm their sons that led mankind. Empire of the Watchers+ >From the abode of heavens the seed of life was cast. Celestial orbs and fireballs from conflict fashioned lands. Nocturnal treasures glow and frozen crystals dance. The wealth was spreading far and wide. A sorcery divine. The watchers learned to fly and bridged the realms defined. The wealth was spreading far and wide. A sorcery divine. SHAPE SHIFTER (music: Chris A, lyrics: Sotiris V.) The transformation of the butterfly occurs in reverse. Beauty eaten abruptly from the ancient worm. Wearing sharp shards, stolen from scattered, broken mirrors, as a cloak to cover me+ My strange images nest as birds to the hearts of men. And as birds fly away, taking their thoughts into oblivion. Disintegrating the elemental bonds, I obtain the rapture of the chameleon. When I become enraged with the frenzy of a wolf on the hunt, I am the most cherished child of fear. Armed with fangs deadly like daggers, I am an adept on the skills of murder. I am a shape shifter. On the ruins of a ghostly projection echoes the lust for life. An ancient purgatory for the sinister. Shape Shifter+ The transformation of the butterfly occurs in reverse. Beauty eaten abruptly from the ancient worm. Wearing sharp shards, stolen from scattered, broken mirrors, as a cloak to cover me Lyrics in plain text format
