1. Dark Reveries

All of my darkest fears came true.
Like a shadow of blackness
My dreams were overwhelming me
The curse of this never ending nightmare
Was guiding me through the dusk of an illusion
In these times I felt an unknown force was
Watching me
And I knew
I was lost in my own
Dark reveries

2. Taken By The Storm

Fire in my eyes
Makes my hatred rise
Condemned is what you are
Now prepare for the last
War is what you get
Eternal reign without regret
On a path where shadows crawl
Bleeding souls begin to fall

Sorrow in your veins
Fallen ghosts caught in chains
Possessed by evil shades
Ancient demons are awake
A storm about to come
Blackness above the sun
Frost is on its way
Mankind's lost it will decay

Now close your eyes
And leave everything behind
Ashes from the skies
The damned will lead the blind

Taken by the storm
Released from the throne
When darkness meets the eye
The time has come to die
Taken by the storm
Released from the throne
When darkness meets the eye
The time has come to die
Taken by the storm

Convulsion of the earth
Takes life without remorse
All hope is burned to dust
Esperance turns to rust
The source of night and doom
Will burst far too soon
A way down to hell
Opened by an evil spell

Forceful like the wind
Envoy of the end
The seas break the shore
All will perish in war
Your prayers they all were vain
Life and death it's all the same
The light will fade away
This is judgement day

Now close your eyes
And leave everything behind
Ashes from the skies
The damned will lead the blind

Taken by the storm
Released from the throne
When darkness meets the eye
The time has come to die
Taken by the storm
Released from the throne
When darkness meets the eye
The time has come to die
Taken by the storm

3. Scepter Of The Serpent

You have done it once again
Unimpressed by all those which
You have emotionally slain
Props to you, undignified snitch

How many may still follow
Is there something human left
Leave them to drown in sorrow
Just go on with your next theft

The crimes against your fellows
Are nothing but your own feeds
One day you'll hang by the gallows
Built up by your own deed

I confer the scepter of the serpent
May you keep it for eternity

Keep it and gloat over it
Keep it and be proud of it
Keep it and feel first-rate with it
Keep it and wear out with it
Keep it and get lost with it
Keep it and then choke on it

If you feel a sign of regret
I'm not the one you should talk to
Just ask yourself if you should get
What you are evolving into

I confer the scepter of the serpent
May you keep it for eternity

4. Spellbound By A Nightmare

Day by day and night by night
I can not run
I can not hide
Only fear is left inside

Once again I feel no pain
Nightmares drive me insane
I wake up in a dream of mine
Where fallen souls give me the sign

Hell - in me
Breaks out
Lost in the darkness
Hate - in me
Cries out
Lost in my madness
Hell - in me
Breaks out
Lost in the darkness

Come into my world
Bringer of salvation
Watch the burning earth
Drowning in frustration

Come into my world
Bringer of salvation
The greatest scare
Spellbound by a nightmare

Blinding lights guide me the way
All my senses, led astray
Suddenly I realise (that)
I'm creator of all these lies

Vengeance of a morbid thought
A demon that I once fought
Bound to wander endless times
Through the struggle of my mind

Come into my world
Bringer of salvation
Watch the burning earth
Drowning in frustration

Come into my world
Bringer of salvation
The greatest scare
Spellbound by a nightmare

Come into my world
Bring me salvation
The earth is burning
Down in frustration

5. Dark Lights

We can not see the moon
The lights are gone and darkness shines
Mankind left alone
Clouds are falling from the sky
At the edge of time
The ash is burning all we loved
Just a memory
Is all that's left behind

Come with me
Down to abyss
Down with me
In Styx's waters

Frozen
In my heart of stone
Silence
Like the eye of a storm
Darkness
And the stars won't shine
Sadness
On these last days of time

The dark lights glowing bland
Something is calling our names
Hope rises again
Following the secret call
The light feels so cold
Freezing the blood in our veins
Black eyes open up
And esperance just turns to dust

Come with me
Down to abyss
Down with me
In Styx's waters

Frozen
In my heart of stone
Silence
Like the eye of a storm
Darkness
And the stars won't shine
Sadness
On these last days of time

6. Beastly Hybris

A gathering of unknown forces
Demons break into your mind
Time will cast these evil curses
A thousand lies will make you blind

Underneath that rotten surface
Crawling, creeping in the black
Feeling the revolting embrace
Realize: there's no way back

Damned to break your soul
The dream will take control
Lost and decayed

We are
A thousand – strong
We hear
The battle horn
We see
All hope has died
We feel
The serpent's might

Here we are
Legion of the night
Serpents of the wasteland
Aiming for the light
Eyes of hate
Symbol of all lies
Echoes of a lost world
On the final rise

Damned to break your soul
The dream will take control
Lost and decayed

We are
A thousand – strong
We hear
The battle horn
We see
All hope has died
We feel
The serpent's might

Here we are
Legion of the night
Serpents of the wasteland
Aiming for the light
Eyes of hate
Symbol of all lies
Echoes of a lost world
On the final rise

Damned to break your soul
The dream will take control

We are
A thousand – strong
We hear
The battle horn
We see
All hope has died
We feel
The serpent's might

Here we are
Legion of the night
Serpents of the wasteland
Aiming for the light
Eyes of hate
Symbol of all lies
Echoes of a lost world
On the final rise

7. Lake Gloom

See me drowning in the lake
Bound to forsake
My last breath in your dream
Before I will leave

Deep into the unknown I will fall
A silent call
The voice is leading me
Into the void

I can see
The black side of me
I can feel
The source deep in me

Welcome to your own nightmare
Where memories are my prey
All is covered by eternal darkness
Remembrance will decay

Here at Lake Gloom
Where the coldness crawls in veins
Visions of the lost ones
Are going down in sin

Can you hear their helpless cries
Soon they will be mine
Serpents sliding in the dark
Shivers down your spine

Soon I will reach the endless ground
Forever bound
Devastation of a memory
Senses led astray

Now silence surrounding me
I can not be
The stream whispers my name
Fading away

I can see
The black side of me
I can feel
The source deep in me

Welcome to your own nightmare
Where memories are my prey
All is covered by eternal darkness
Remembrance will decay

Here at Lake Gloom
Where the coldness crawls in veins
Visions of the lost ones
Are going down in sin

8. The Distant Shore

Raging seas around
Endless waves so cold
I will set the course
To reach the distant shores

Pale, dead, empty eyes
A tremendous force will rise
I seek the mighty black
Now, there is no way back

So follow me
I guarantee
We turn the tide
No need to hide

Waters surrounding me
The unknown I can see
Howling winds so strong
Don't know where I belong

Inside my rotten soul
Nightmare takes control
No hope in that night
Darkness my guiding light

I can see
The spirits of the sea
(and) I can feel
The frost is hunting me

Visions of my dreams
Collide with my reality
A remnant of the past
Striking down my destiny
Reflections of my fate
Covered by an endless stream
The distant shore awaits
Far away on the other side

Raging seas around
Endless waves so cold
I will set the course
To reach the distant shores
Pale, dead, empty eyes
A tremendous force will rise
I seek the mighty black
Now, there is no way back

So follow me
I guarantee
We turn the tide
No need to hide

9. Frost Reflection

I came across the frozen lake
The waves of time so cold
I sailed alone the hours passed
The lights of hope were gone

Emptiness in me

Suddenly I realised
Ice was all around
I left my boat, to see it all
I've reached the distant shore

Something's watching me

This is the inception
I see my frost reflection
A masquerade of ice and snow
I am the black serpent
A part of this dark legion
I am creator of this world

Struggling through that haze
Finding no way out
The wind embraces my burning skin
I can feel the change within

Eternal serpents rise

Isolated in a dream of mine
Hiding from the snakes
Evil eyes begin to shine
Illusion becomes bare hate

Leave me all alone

This is the inception
I see my frost reflection
A masquerade of ice and snow
I am the black serpent
A part of this dark legion
I am creator of this world

Leaving the the past, I will drown in my sorrow
Surrounded by darkness, I'm lost in an iceworld
Pursued by serpents, and guided by hatred
Reptiles of blackness are gathered in my head

10. Opus Aeternus

And so I will wait
Until we meet again
The surface and me
Now I can feel
I'm bound to see the fear
The serpents are near

The legion is here
We take control
The force has arrived
The dream is a lie
You belong to us
The signs in your eyes

The lake I can see
Is staring back at me
I'm lost in a dream
The ghost is calling my name
She drives me so insane
Caught by the stream

I sacrifice my own life
I will never dream again
Close my eyes – fade away
In my dreams I will decay

One last song – forever gone
Time will cast the final storm
Endless frost seals my fate
Gloomy shadows are awake

All is lost (in your mind)
I will fall (and die)
I will drown in endless sorrow
My own life the greatest lie
Into the dark (we'll find you)
I can't hide (come out)
Full of fear - they can sense me
All the serpents are gathered now

[Monologue I]

[Turn The Tide]

Fog is rising from the surface
Through that haze I can see undefinable blackened silhouettes
They're getting closer and closer
Now I see myself surrounded by ancient creatures
I can't name a number of those who are still hiding in the fog
But I feel their empty eyes are starring at me
One of these creatures, holding a scepter in it's claws, dissolves from the rest
It is watching every single move I make
All of a sudden it takes a bow and raises the scepter
It seems to be a solicitation to take it
I stretch out my hands

As I take the scepter, the sky turns black
Lightning strikes the earth
And the wind becomes a storm
Majestic mountains begin to collapse
Hail stings like nails in the face
Endless frost will darken my soul

Raging forces all around me
Blackness rising everywhere
I can see the shadow path now
Eternal nightmare – a vicious scare
Brightest flames of salvation
Will be killed by dark deception
Roaming in my deepest vision
See the snake division

Serpent blood
In my veins
Can't resist
These evil Cains
Cold wind blows
Inside my soul
Burning hate
I lose control

[Monologue II]

[The Serpent's Revelation]

I can feel how my skin changes
My veins begin to burn and frost freezes my thoughts
Dream and reality collide
I can not tell what is true
Illusion and madness merge to one great lie

Now I see the frost reflection
Night is overwhelming me
Lost forever in my nightmare
Restless shadows everywhere

[Monologue III]

[The Enlightenment]

Now I realize what happened
This whole world is built on the foundation of my lies
Nothing is real
I myself am the biggest lie
Now I am doomed to live in my own nightmare
A second hell where there is no hope and escape

Into the darkness
And into the black light
Serpents of sorrow
Hiding in the cold night

I sacrifice my own life
I will never dream again
Close my eyes – fade away
In my dreams I will decay

One last song – forever gone
Time will cast the final storm
Endless frost seals my fate
Gloomy shadows are awake
