Congregation Of Sorcerers 10. Halo Of Fire 1. Phoenix Rising Alter of the sun god, We melt before your flames. Children of darkness Bound in human chains Hellfire kindles the hatred in our hearts All love has frozen from you, we are torn apart To the sun we are blind As we watch our world die From the ashes of demise Our burning phoenix shall arise Soldiers of fortune fighting unto death Condemned in armour sold for their last breath Upright citizents to decadence enslaved Peak of pleasure waiting in your graves To the sun we are blind As we watch our world die From the ashes of demise Our burning phoenix shall arise As pur dreams turn into burning ash We crystalise in flames,then fly To the sun we are blind As we watch our world die From the ashes of demise Our burning phoenix shall arise Corporate fascists feast upon corpse of man Psycho assassins from the holy land Fiery destruction ? our salvation found. 2. Resisting The Ghost Living dead vampiress Trying to taunt me back to the grave My black and macabre past Summoning me forever a slave Black sun arising Howling moon it screams As spider's web she's weaving again Hallucinations sucking me in Resisting the ghost My former life host Resisting the ghost Echoed celebrations Haunt loves hollow room Motivation mortally trapped In regrets obsessive tomb A stake she's thrusting Into my dying heart Power igniting the past Awakes me from this coffin at last Resisting the ghost Resisting the ghost She was the one i love most I've rejected the ghost 3. Skullflower She plants a seed in my head Opium narcosis hypnotic dread I feel her death growing in me Like a cancer,yet i crave the disease Mesmeried by her strange power Beauty and death in union She blossoms in the 13th hour Skullflower Hollow skull emotionless grin Arcane tunnels sucking me in Black vortex in her eyes Reminds me of a love that died Lady death evolves from a flower Growing upon my own tomb Into her groung i'm sinking lower Skullflower 4. Aphrodite's Winter Frozen land mesmerised by her arcane mystery Goddess of the underworld cold queen of lost beauty Gazed upon earth's battleground At mankind's misery With her saddness came love's death As violence slowly siezed Her wheeping tears of darkness crytallised the earth As warmth turned colder, her grief chilled away all mirth Frosted armies paused in war now wearing beards of snow Perishing forevermore, her bite numbs to the bone Housed in icy caves, men of peace rest in these times of woe Shaking in glass coffins, waiting for the sun to glow She cast her spell on earth and all emotion died Her languid heart dulled the skies with love's demise She crystallised the earth with water from her eyes A frozen sun now hangs above this land's demise. 5. Empty Mirror Chasing my own death through life A future trapped in yesterday When everything was fresh and bright Then innocence found its grave Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, youth taker Summer came in rays of light Overwhelming joy it gave Blinding all life's pain from sight Golden days could not be saved Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, youth taker In dark caves Wisdom reigns Awareness dulls ambition's flame Like a corpse In soil laid Trust and faith long since decayed Togetherness, broken mess Devotion sought and found in vain Blind fatigue debased intrigue Love was traded in for pain A path i followed with blind eyes Running all this way to find The terminal of painfull truth Where purity and innocence died Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, youth taker Dying face of beauty fades Before my eyes as you ascend Sail away with the sun To never feel my touch again Free once more to raom in hell This lonely world represents hell Solitude shares the pain A secret lover til the end I have lost the will to live Will it come to pass? Need the strength to carry on Must forget the past... The empty mirror tells no lies Reflecting a transparent face Just nothingless is recognised I'm stranded in a long-lost place Empty mirror, soul replacer Empty mirror, i'm a stranger Here i stand ? all alone Before a cross my concience pleads yesterday A thorn embraced as the future slowly bleads Awaken now, bury the past, Put to rest, no longer grieve Chase the light, pass the gates Leave this graveyard of lost dream. 6.
