Sun Won't ShineThe candles have been blown out by the winddon't be scared, my love, I'm right by your sideI still remember the times I walked alone... deaduntil you woke me up and made me come aliveWith her love she feeds the fire in my heartAnd in her eyes, oh the birth of starsThe sun won't shine on me without your love...don't you knowThe cold wind kills the flame in my heart...by its blowShe gave me everything I had cravedthrough the years of painthe years of painWith her love she feeds the fire in my heartOh she's my only lightIn the darkThe sun won't shine on me without your love...don't you knowThe cold wind kills the flame in my heart...by its blowDead Calm all around4. Dance On The Graves (Lil Siztah)"Hell can't deny it... I fell to the illusion of life!Now she's taken away everything that I called I!"5. The Way I Wanna GoI know of a heaven...and damn sure...I know of a Hell...if you could take a look into this fighter's mind...the things you'd see.What would you think?How would you feel?If you could really know me... mmm...Can you see this Hell I feel inside?A tragedy in a human mind.That's what I am!!!So turn away, turn away and go.Turn away while you still can.Turn away.The way I'm gonna go is not the way you want to go!This reign that I have built myself,over the years, will crumble down me.Life's double edged sword gives both pleasure and pain.And it's MY cross to be carried!!!Can you see this chaos-ridden mind?This tragedy, this tragedy of a human mind.That's how I am!!!"It might seem t's just a part of the illusion of life.There's no perfection in this world,and in the end we're but two strangerssailing our personal seas of sorrow..."I've been to heaven! (and let me tell you)I have been "down there" So turn away, go.Turn away while you still can.Turn away.The way I'm gonna go is not the way you want to go!Turn away, Turn away...This is the way I wanna go6.

My Sky Is Darker Than ThineFrozen soil... A dim moonlightI've been... this glorious ridRaise the arms in victoryI've seen... on this glorious nightI've kept my eyes open wideThrough my dream I was given a hint:My sky is darker than yours, my star is brighter than yoursA glance to the moonlight shadow reveals the runes of yesterdayI am of Astral Strain, my sky is darker than thineDie... die... die!I... I... I... despiteDestroy!The goals I've set to myself are far beyond mortalityTo dominate, desolate everything weak that cannot stand aloneAnd losers shall drop...One after one...I am before all godsWho art thou to come to me?You are the great pretenderAnd you will always be(so die)Frozen time... The astral gateI've been before on this groundOpen wide before my eyesI see... on this glorious rideNow I know...It was written in the stars that I am the WrathchildI laugh as you cryI am the one who laughs as you cry...I am the one who laughs for last and laughs forever moreThe goals I've set to myself are far beyond humanityTo dominate, desolate everything - I'm heading to immortality!And losers shall drop...One after one...I WON!!!8. The Trooper[Originally performed by Iron Maiden]You'll take my life but I'll take yours tooYou'll fire your musket but I'll run you throughSo when you're waiting for the next attackYou'd better stand there's no turning back.The Bugle sounds and the charge beginsBut on this battlefield no one winsThe smell of acrid smoke and horses breathAs I plunge on into certain death.The horse he sweats with fear we break to runThe mighty roar of the Russian gunsAnd as we race towards the human wallThe screams of pain as my comrades fall.We hurdle bodies that lay on the groundAnd the Russians fire another roundWe get so near yet so far awayWe won't live to fight another day.We get so close near enough to fightWhen a Russian gets me in his sightsHe pulls the trigger and I feel the blowA burst of rounds take my horse below.And as I lay there gazing at the skyMy body's numb and my throat is dryAnd as I lay forgotten and aloneWithout a tear I draw my parting groan.9. New Age Messiah"He shall appear to thee and thou shall know Him.He is no son of god, He is the son of the Earth!"A new Messiah...He's walked among the livingAnd lived among the deadHe holds the key up there...Far too long - the truth's been invertedby false tonguesAnd far too long - false prophets have infestedthe holy groundThe holy Earth;The pagan Reign of Nature...The time is right (too late)Fall from Grace, New Age MessiahAs a lightning cracks the skyShow the world its final fateRise to the heights, New Age MessiahThey will worship you and hail!As the world goes down the drainThe new Messiah leads the way!"He shall appear to thee and thoushall understand.He shall promise no salvation but letyou see what is imminent"Chosen by His own willAs written by HimselfA new MessiahHas come to guide mankindOn its downward trailHe holds the key down there...Far too long - they had to wait Him to arriveAnd far too long - the hordes believed all the liesNow all can see: the "Hand of Darwin"rocks this human cradle-graveGod is dead, god is dead, long live the Nature!Fall from grace, New Age MessiahOn your first and last crusadeShow the world its final fateRise to the heights, New Age MessiahSo they can hear Your words of goldAs the world goes down the drainThe new Messiah makes your dayFall from grace, New Age MessiahFrom the dark side of the MoonTo the point of no return -welcome the Prophet of DoomOpen doors to a new realityAs the world goes down the drainA new Messiah walks away10. Desert By Night11. No TomorrowEyes without light can see so clearwhat those with sight are blind to...The final fight is getting nearAnd they were right, we will lose...Come this far no turning backA kiss before it all turns blackMy stars have fallen from the skyMy dreams have faded into the NightNo Tomorrownot for mePain and Sorrowall I seeAll I feelThe final night is getting near...The fading light - weŚll be throughFor the first time IŚm feeling fearAnd oh, damn right - we will loseThe shadows growing deepWeŚll be gone eternallyOur stars have fallen from the skyOur dreams have faded into the NightNo Tomorrownot for usDeath and Sorrowdust to dustDust to Dust12. The Truth13. Awaiting The Winter FrostA gathering in the cold, in the North, in the dark lands of PohjolaWhere the sun had not been crossing the sky nor seen for centuries...We were brought together by oaths we had once sworn - by blood......once together drawn...We had gathered all our forcesCalled together all the heroesEquipped a hundred swordmenAnd a thousand men with crossbowsStrengthened by hate and the thirst for the enemies' bloodWe lay in wait for the season of no lightWe had seen the frozen mist - we weren't afraid to dieAnd the oath we had sworn gave us reason to live onA Calm before the Storm(We were) Awaiting the Winter Frost...And then a storm arose in furyThe sky was shattered by lightning...Awaiting the Winter FrostAs the sky blackened and the stars turned redThe frost greeted us with a cold northern breezeOff with their heads! Off with their fuckin' heads!!!Oh, the time had come...To slaughter the hordes of cowardiceAnd cleanse the North from liesWe had gathered all our forcesCalled together all the heroesEquipped a hundred swordmenAnd a thousand men with crossbowsWe raised our swordsGrasped the ironsLifted our bowsAnd chose the arrowsThe false ones' hordes were put to the swordThe strong and the weak, one by one...Their race was slaughtered to the very last manOur bloodfeind was done as their bodies reddened the landAwaiting the Winter FrostThe sign of the dark and the coldthe spell of pure hateAwaiting the Winter FrostAnd the heathen peace was found14. Crumbling Down (Give Up Hope)Like roses wither so does hopeas we approach our final fateA new dawn of man?Oh no, can't you feel, the End is on its way...It's all over, said and done, haven't you heard?We are living our last days in this worldOh, Give Up Hope, do it nowthe world is coming Crumbling Downwe have passedthe point of No Return by farand swept away the last sheds of hopeA new dawn of man?Oh no, can't you feel, the End is on its way...It's all over, said and done, haven't you heard?We are living our last days on this earthOh, your days are over!Your world is finished!Down down down downThy kingdom goneDown down down downMy kingdom comeThis is itThis is the EndFree at last15. In MemoriamIn the dark... in deathEyes can't see... I cannot feelNo voices... no light... no existenceA dreamlike void surrounds mesilence... emptiness...peace of mind... in deathIn emptiness...I focus mt thoughts on my lifeIn death I have the time to think of the pastSolitude...won't break my peace of mindBecause here I must dwell eternallyIn memoriam...For the one that once was meEntombed remainsA gravestone marks I've passed away...(Sacred... to the memory of myself)
