Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Into the night… the darkest corner of my mind Sink into my inner self, an erotic fantasy A spiralling vortex – an instant alter ego fix Here I am the ruler of all, in this kingdom of sin (Floating in a dream like state I am the emperor of a parallel universe) Chorus: Sinister mephisto – ride the sky Sinister mephisto – the ultimate high What I can not have in actuality I feast upon in my "reality" An extravaganza of forbidden pleasures No sexual wish dark enough, to suppress I am no longer a mortal man As master of the ceremony… divine perversion I hereby declare the orgy to begin Ravage you luscious virgin flesh (how I love it) My cup runneth over… drink my distilled insanity 1st lead – Christopher 2nd lead - Michael

Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Like insects of the night, we are drawn to the light Feeding off the starglow energy- controlling our fate Bloodsucker selling hope to the hopeless Newborn messiah or the devil incarnate? Surrounded by a field of lost souls These feeble minds…so easy to control Salvation… Damnation… It's all the same to you But does anyone really know, What the future holds in store… Chorus: A day will come When the sun will rise again Rays of black will shine And together as one, We will walk in the dark of the sun Say a prayer for the unborn child in the womb The children are the heirs of this dogmatic chaos Is there a future in this claustrophobic tomb? We can only rely upon ourselves, to save us 1st lead – Michael Harmony part - both 2nd lead – Christopher We are the resistance, our last line of defence Prepared to fight for our promised land Rebels at heart, they will hunt us to the ends of the earth The chase is on…forever going on and on…

Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott Lyrics: Johan Liiva/Michael Amott Anxiety prevails in the end On deathrow awaiting my fate Sacrificed upon the altars of justice Part of the ritual of ultimate fear Determined men prepare to slay Executioners axe draws near On my way to depart from life Lost all sense, at the gallows I will die! Chorus: Let the killing begin Let them end your life of sin Feel the torment within As the beauty of death sets in Counting days, the sleepless nights Wide awake in a state of lunacy Voices echo inside my head Haunting memories, punishing me Through a tunnel of madness These endless catacombs Left to die in a pit of confusion Swept away by a wave of illusion 1st lead – Christopher 2nd lead – Michael

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Johan Liiva/Michael Amott Across the lake of fire Through the deserts of decay The flames are burning higher In this land of death you're easy pray Chorus: Black Earth Save…Our…Souls Looking back in anger At the twentieth century Tormented we surrender In artificial serenity Twisted, torn and burnt Violation of the crust Man got what man deserved Turned the future into dust Lead – Michael A millenary failure The dark age has returned Waiting for a miracle To save the common herd "In a century of darkness The horror spreads within… As our planet stops to turn All hope is lost for man" Lead - Christopher

Music: Michael Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Intro lead – Michael Hideous crimes, atrocities The slaughter of millions…beyond belief Those were dark times, so different from now The law of evil ruled our fatherland I was but a pawn in their game Why should I feel any guilt? Still when I close, close my eyes The words unfold, it all comes back Chorus: I can't deny it, can't defy it I know it to be true In my sleep…they come to haunt me They know it to be true Tears of the dead We are all on the turning wheel of fate A young man, standing proud in uniform I never stopped to hesitate Until it was far too late Lead – Christopher My hands are soiled, covered in blood Stains that never wash away Their hollow eyes Confronting me – Judging me 1st lead – Christopher 2nd lead – Michael Now an old man, at the end of my days Contemplating…my life of sin Living is never simple – The road is hard I had no say…just a puppet in a sick play

Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott Lyrics: Michael Amott Standing at the bridge of destiny So long since I tasted fear Lurking in the darkest holes Awaiting my minds weakest moment Old words from an old world Against the laws of the nature They say the truth is overrated Wall of anger corrupts my thought Chorus: Standing at the bridge of destiny Show me a sign… On the verge of losing my sanity Free my soul… My inner demons torture me Flapping their wings in my face Damn you! You twisted illusion I am no longer afraid See through their liquid souls Evil eyes that will hypnotise You can no longer hurt me I am my own worst enemy Lead - Christopher Unleash the trapped souls of the dead Spirits since long forgotten Guardians of the lost faith Destined for glory? Watch them all turn into sand And the wind blow them away Wisdom pours into my soul …endlessly… Bass solo – Martin Lead – Michael Harmony lead – Michael & Christopher 1st lead Michael 2nd lead – Christopher
