Wages of Sin

[Music: Christopher Amott/Michael Amott] [Lyrics: Angela Gossow] Dark thoughts rise up Deep in your mind The killing of hope The end has begun The locked psycho-door breaks down The beast breathes freedom and fire Blows bloody thoughts into your mind Demons whisper: "COMMIT SUICIDE!" Weak is your body, Helpless your soul, The beast destroyed your will Left nothing but an empty shell Self-destruction leads its way Your weapons turn against yourself Cutting through, killing you A downward spiral, the shadowbeast has won The shadowbeast calls A vulture of life Your worst enemy dwells From within [1st Lead - Christopher] [2nd Lead - Michael]

[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott] [Lyrics: Michael Amott] You can't kill me. I am living inside you. I am a part of your existence Twisted thoughts in a twisted mind Provoking you Black is my heart - dark is my soul My hatred I can not control Evil seed growing stronger Your freewill... Dying! Inside you - heart of darkness A part of you - heart of darkness To deny me, is to deny yourself. The illusion is dissolved You are no longer in control The facade crumbles - the transition is complete ...The transition is complete I come to you in the night I am your dark subconscience I keep you awake, knowing I am the heart of darkness [1st Lead - Michael] [2nd Lead - Christopher]

[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott] [Lyrics: Angela Gossow/Michael Amott] I am hunting for your soul It dwells within your heart I lacerate the pounding flesh Your spirits shall be mine [Harmony - Michael and Christopher] So rise my spirit rise! Revel in this dead mans' body Grip his soul, sip the blood Life is death A holy carnage [Lead - Christopher] Ravenous I will be your god Carnivorous Jesus I need your flesh Ritual slaughter Fill up the chalice With the essence of your life Liquid strengths Trapped in your veins I crave your blood You must die!

[Music: Michael Amott/Sharlee D'Angelo/Christopher Amott] [Lyrics: Michael Amott] Meet your maker Rising from the ashes Like a phoenix to the sky So intense, so glorious... Uncontrollable desire For our souls The great lawgiver So high and mighty The immaculate deception A taker of life With unbridled aggression Striking down on the disbelievers Savage - Messiah Take us higher Savage - Messiah Take us now! Blessed in blood We are reborn in hate Thousands of spirits cry So intense, so glorious... Uncontrollable desire For our souls The great Messiah So high and mighty

I leave the anguish behind Scars are healing - I am set free The chains of guilt are in the past They no longer have a hold on me Dead bury their dead [Lead - Christopher] I walk through Elysian Fields The light is shining on me Time marches on...

[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott] [Lyrics: Michael Amott] Weaving a web - of lies and deceit It's a dangerous game - we play All this time - the pain eating us away All this time - the memories refuse to fade A rotting shell of dying trust We share this hell at any cost Phases and stages Circles and cycles And empty charade This pointless masquerade A dangerous game A dangerous game - we play Web of lies I can see it in your eyes Web of lies You can see it in my eyes It will never be the same We have gone too far this time Our temple of false dreams Comes crashing down... A rotting shell of dying trust We shared this hell at any cost [1st Lead - Christopher] [2nd Lead - Michael]

[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott] [Lyrics: Angela Gossow/Michael Amott] Step inside the circle of fire Flames of desire enlighten the night Follow your instinct Burn and writhe in ecstasy Love will turn to hate Heat will turn to ice There is nothing in between The first deadly sin Ancient taboo takes control The demon eve possesses your soul Riding high above the flames You will step into hell [Lead and slide solo - Christopher] Dwell in passionate evil Forbidden fruits of lust Embrace and kiss the face of death It's your first deadly sin

[Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott] [Lyrics: Michael Amott] Sands of time Running through my fingers My life slipping away And I feel nothing Swallow the tears Eat the pain - It's worth the degradation - Eat the pain Behind the smile / I feel nothing I reach out to touch, but I'm not really there This reflection in the mirror Can't reality be me I see no connection With who I wanted to be Drink another glass Swallow these pills At the end of the rainbow You take the bitter The bitter with the sweet When love dies The angels cry Here I am Alone... Alone in a crowd [Lead - Christopher]

[Music: Christopher Amott/Michael Amott] [Lyrics: Daniel Erlandsson/Michael Amott] [Lead - Christopher] At the mercy of our conscience Confined within our fate Never really questioned why We are refugees in a dying world To become a part of the end Are we the ones, the ones to blame? We are mortals of shadows and dust [Lead melody - Michael] The sun sets on our sinking ship of fools On our journey into oblivion We ask ourselves again and again Now will we be remembered [Lead - Michael] Shadows... And dust...

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it's too late. Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live. Aces high. Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again. Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us Ten ME-109's out of the sun Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.

I won't live to see tomorrow There won't be another prayer None of them will ever sorrow Those who've sentenced me to death I've been waiting here for ages For the hangman to appear (the hangman to appear) Soon the priest will read some pages From the Bible for my fear I see a place An evil place Coming my way What can I do Where can I run Gonna die anyway Things are getting clearer This is the price I have to pay oh no I feel like screaming out my anger There is so much left here to do When it happened I was younger And my destiny was you I see a place An evil place Coming my way What can I do Where can I run Gonna die anyway Things are getting clearer This is the price I have to pay And what can I do about leaving you We were only halfway through And what can I say, there was no other way They wouldn't let me stay

Diva Satanica Divine queen of evil Sowing her seeds of hate Mistress of pain Diva satanica - Master of temptation Medusa... abuser... both beast and beauty Seducer... she'll use you... bring you to your knees Blinded by her infinite beauty you are lured into the temple The smell of incense burning this carnal pleasure yearning Bride of satan Transgress the rules of this world Too late you realize this love is ripping you apart Medusa... abuser... both beast and beauty Seducer... she'll use you... as fodder for her dreams Drinking the blood Eating the flesh She's getting high on you Watching you die gives her a thrill ...There is always more blood to spill...

Set me free, let me out of here From these chains to which I am bound Time was always on your side While my final hours slipped away Chorus: Frustration in their minds The hatred in their eyes A new breed will now rise Damnation's way… Losing my grip on reality Outside this cage I am struck by paranoia A paradox to all life's mysteries A never ending trail to follow… I am the sinner upon damnation's way Always deprived of hope, never to see the break of dawn My life I lived in the shadow of you The other side now greets me with open arms
