Beheading Tyrants

Behind the gates The priests are summoned To spill their hate To seal your fate with false ideals and superstition They abuse Then write the laws They accuse Then execute the punishment upon your kind Fathers decide The curse shall live on for all time But the bitter tears you shed corrode The chains are bound to burst Daughters of Eve Reach for your swords The temples shall crumble The masters must fall Out of the shadows they rise To let fire rain over man Over the earth they must ride To bring justice upon all lands Daughters of Eve – Break out of your cages Daughters of Eve – Defy ancient laws Daughters of Eve Reach for your swords The scriptures tell You were born of sin Not of the well The gates of Hell stand open wide before you Awake their needs Awake their lust On your knees, you have to please The hunger's theirs and you're to blame It's such a shame You've suffered through the ages, all in the father's name But deep inside the embers glow It's time to dry your eyes Fear them in the shadows of the night for soon your time will come ...

A black veil hung before you It hinders you to dream A web of hands conforms you Of tyranny it seems A shadow dances Beneath your skin The Necromancer Conducts a rite To raise the dead within In your contorted haven The poisoned grail shall gleam The pain is all you crave for Inside your cloud of screams How safe the darkness How fierce the light You stay inside of Your comfort zone A life that holds no life To these halls of fire Tempests never reach My inner cloud gives comfort The vows I had to breach Now all lies clear before me The journey must begin I can sense the end now The walls come closing in

Underneath Brittle skin Enduring pain Best kept within It is the shadow that bleeds Washed upon Hostile shores A breathless child Left on the floor Soon awakes its rage Left with a choice to perish or to cope Trading safety for a tiny glimpse of hope No one's seen Your shadow bleeds No one knows The pain you feel Beneath the iron hand you've turned the other cheek A submissive masque to hide the fact that you're not weak No one's seen You've sown the seeds No one knows Now hatred breeds

Ten years of sorrow and ten years of war The villages burnt down, the forests are no more A tyrant king would veil the land in snow and blood and ice Turn brother against sister, to rule with fear and lies Winter it came but would never pass The years would go by, the deep freeze would last From hunger and suffering a legend was born A girl from an island would come with the thaw She was the guardian of the meek A gentle sorceress, a cunning heroine She still haunts the powers that be Saviour princess in our dreams Hope still springs, we still believe In the Girl from the Island Ten years of sorrow and ten years of war The king's men were sent out with brutality and force They'd hunt her in the fields and hunt her through the woods The Girl from the Island was killed as she stood The Girl from the Island We still believe

The drowning screams won't leave me be From lifeless streets, they're pouring down on me I've failed to see reality I've failed to serve society I fell apart before your eyes Could not afford to live your lies Pier lights – Reflections on the water Cold fathom calls, this time I won't falter I turn around to seek your smile But no one's there, you're a thousand miles away Not fit to speak of heart and mind Not fit to shine among your kind To leave this land, 'twas not my will The void seems so much warmer still White flames on black water Flickering over me White flames on black water Finally I am free White flames on black water Flickering over me White flames on black water Finally I am free What did you find beneath the waves? What answers lay in troubled graves? You took the step, went out and thus Your questions will resound in all of us In all of us

We're divided And we'll never be as one Still denying As we kill beneath the sun The blood that stain my sleeves The haunting screams of agony The bitter taste of victory It's all a part of me It's something I don't want to see It's all a part of me In denial We're pretending we can choose Floods of dire deeds Sweep us further from the truth We can never be apart It is our destiny to fall And we'll never be as one Divided – One and all
