01. The Vampire From Nazareth - Lyrics:

Ride to the land of secrets
Find all the traces left behind...
With sword in hand the Covenant
A cross baptised in blood...the nectar of the Gods

Might!
Making wrong to seem this right
Destroy all the traces left behind
With sword in hand the covenant
A cross baptised in blood

The Vampire from Nazareth

"For blood, is Life"

The Vampire from Nazareth

The Templars march
Waves of arms
"We offer the Sun!"
The wolf is wearing the pelt of the lamb

"We offer the Sun, with thorns his crown
We offer a son"

Ravens on the top...as angels fly

"We offer the Sun, with thorns his crown
We offer a son
"We offer the Sun".


02. A Great Mass Of Death - Lyrics:

Creators...
Evoke your tragedy
Betrayers!
You can't deny your lust for destruction
Predators...
Dance once more waltz with the flesh of your prey
Your sharpened teeth will sink in a passionate kiss...
There's no hope for redemption
In every funeral, I have been
Your cemeteries so secrene, with gothic dark cathedrals

I am the destroyer of life, I hear you chanting for me

A great mass... of death
A great mass of death
A great mass of silence
It's the quiet of absence

A great mass of death
A great mass of silence
A concerto of sadness

A great mass of death
A great mass...

Run!

A great mass of death
A great mass of silence

I am the destroyer of Life
I hear you chanting for me...


03. Pyramid God - Lyrics:

Again… again… again you try to find me
You seek the one not willing to be found

Pyramid God, unlike the places you have been
I'm not confined by lines

Pyramid God, I am the dreamer of this realm
(God) but not the dream inside
Pyramid God, I am the head outside the dream
(God) I am the headless mind!

Are you… are you… are you a breath of mine?
You cross my gates, the gates of space and time

Pyramid God, am I the user of the gates?
I live a triangle life

Pyramid God, I am the dreamer of this realm
(God) but not the dream inside
Pyramid God, I am the head outside the dream
(God) I am the headless mind!

Build me a monument
New age conspirators
Expand my theories
To a world without end

Build me a monument
New age conspirators
Expand my theories
To a world without end

The Pyramid God is watching…

Build me a monument
New age conspirators
Expand my theories
To a world without end.


04. Five-Point Star - Lyrics:

Your Pythagorean sign, five angles put in line
Symmetry, a door through chaos
You try to use The Laws, emotions stir your words
Your thoughts are reaching me

You call me by my name, a non-forgotten name...
Earth, Fire, Air, Water, exalted Idea
Divine the star of the elements
Pentagrammon

In memory of angels fallen
Five-Pointed...
Five-Pointed...

The path to all directions, the star of elements
A map you seek to unfold
Five angles are your senses
A solid universe, I am eager to explore

In memory of angels fallen
Five-Pointed...
Five-Pointed...

Your star ideogram, so ancient as our kind
Those that the heavens roam
In distant times a calling
In island Earth a falling, from heaven to your world

The star ideogram, so ancient as our kind
Earth, Fire, Air, Water, exalted Idea
Divine the star of the elements
Pentagrammon

In memory of angels fallen
Five-Pointed...
Five-Pointed...
Five-Pointed Star.


05. Oceans Of Grey - Lyrics:

Dogs on the run, foam on their mouths
The scavengers approaching as they run from the netherworld
Savages, erosive, massive are the jaws of oblivion

In your dreams you hear a name
Was it yours?
Is it reclaimed?

Autumn comes to claim the old
You forget the past painted by you

And you sink
You can't breathe
I an ocean of grey
Memories fade

And you lose
All you've gained
All your triumphs in vain
Black thoughts remain

Bury your name
Forget your face
Time, out of place
Oceans of grey

All of your joy
All of your pain
Emotions drained
Oceans of Grey

Dogs on the run, foam on their mouths
The scavengers approaching as they run from the netherworld
Savages, erosive, massive are the jaws of oblivion

Solid earth is now dissolved
Water fills your empty world

And you sink
You can't breathe
I an ocean of grey
Memories fade

And you lose
All you've gained
All your triumphs in vain
Black thoughts remain

Bury your name
Forget your face
Oceans of grey.


06. The Undead Keep Dreaming - Lyrics:

Dreaming...

In 1981 when I was but a child
I had the strangest dream...
Something that still is haunting me
Dreaming...
A ray escaped my window blinds, a carrier of the morning light
I opened my eyes
My clock was keeping time
It was another normal day
I thought I was awake
Dreaming...

The Undead Keep Dreaming

My face! When I looked at the mirror
I felt somesthing was wrong
A strange thought in my head "Am I really awake?"

The Undead Keep Dreaming

I found myself again in bed confused by what occured
And everything as usual just seemed to be in place
But when I questioned what I felt, in front the mirror black
The comfort of the morning light was stolen from my heart

In agony I tried to leave this dream and just awake
But on and on I found myself returning in my bed
I lost the count of times I tried and failed to reach the day
And even now I am not sure if I am here awake

The Undead Keep Dreaming...


07. Rising - Lyrics: 

Long ago I swore an oath to levitate my soul
Above the things that seal me
Those trying to deceive me
I AM RISING!
I fought on psychic wars, the raids of mind control
I closed my ears to sirens
Their song I killed with silence
I AM RISING!

On fields of mist, with thoughts from gold
I am rising as a sun

I AM RISING!

Destiny, Victory, are giving me their wings
Not gone...I am still alive
Through Will and strong desire
I am rising!

I fought on many wars and bled and cried and lost
But I kept fighting on, until I reached my goal

I AM RISING!

Destiny, Victory, have healed my broken wings
Not gone...I am still alive
Through will and strong desire

I AM RISING!


08. Apocalypse - Lyrics:

Bring us the end
Harvest the crops of Men
Horrid winds are blowing today
Hear them!
It's is the wrath of Cain
Bringer of plagues and disease
Doom leads your hand
Writing the Apocalypse

A Gods that wants to die
A tragic kind of killer
Lunatic, fanatic
Your self's greatest deceiver

Sulphur rain
You'll know the secrets of Hell
Your leaders...revealed
Shadows cover the naked kings
Bringer of plagues and disease
Doom leads your hand
Writing the Apocalypse

A Gods that wants to die
A tragic kind of killer
Lunatic, fanatic
Your self's greatest deceiver

GOD WANTS TO DIE!

You can turn Paradise into a wasteland
It is your greatest design
As tyrant, you demand nature's powers to obey
From suicidal wrath no one will escape...


09. Mad Architect - Lyrics:

"Where am I?
How I got in here?
I feel so tired, as if I walk for many miles"
"What I see is a door leading out of this room
I am prepared to confront whatever waits behind..."

MAD ARCHITECT

"I left the room
I am walking through a corridor
It is so long that I cannot see it's end"
Opening doors, moving in circle
Finding doors, moving in circle

A MADMAN (THE ARCHITECT)
THIS LABYRINTH HAS BUILT

Opening doors, moving in circle
Finding doors...
"All the choises I once made, the paths that I designed
Have formed this endless labyrinth, a product of my mind"

A MADMAN (THE ARCHITECT)
THIS LABYRINTH HAS BUILT
A MADMAN...THE ARCHITECT
He is trapped inside the maze

Opening doors, moving in circle
Finding doors, moving in circle
A madman...the Architect.


10. Therianthropy - Lyrics:

"IF I CAN SMELL YOUR SCENT
IF I CAN HEAR YOU BREATHE
IF I CAN USE YOUR SKIN
YOU ARE THERE FOR ME
IF YOU CAN THINK OF ME
IF YOU CAN DREAM OF ME
IF YOU CAN SENSE ME
I AM STILL THERE...IN YOU!"

Mirror world
Mystery
Beyond the wall of skin
Ecstasy, bond of souls, so clear as time withdraws
Astral life runs through me...our sacred unity
Alien thoughts, web of souls, the eldest tree, immortal
A chord that binds the whole, darkness surrounds us all
Your shadow follows me, your thoughts reflecting in me
From dusk until the dawn a shape of things to come
A lunar fantasy?
A different kind of me?

DUALITY!
Mirror world
Mystery
Beyond the wall of skin
Ecstasy, bond of souls, so clear as time withdraws
"If I can use your skin, you are there for me" - Therianthropy
"If I can smell your scent..." - Therianthropy
A chord that binds the whole, darkness surrounds us all
Wolf's shadow follows me, strange thoughts reflecting in me
From dusk until the dawn I shape of things to come
Is it my fantasy?
A therion in me?
"If I can use your skin, you are there for me
If you can think of me, if you can dream of me
If I can smell your scent..."

THERIANTHROPY
"If you can think of me, if you can dream of me
If you can sense me I am still there...in you!"
"Can you feel me?
Can you hear me?"
Duality!
"Can you feel me?
Don't you fear me?
If you can think of me, If you can dream of me...
Can you feel me?
Can you hear me?"
Therianthropy
"Can you feel me?
Don't you fear me?
If you can think of me, If you can dream of me..."
