2) Sabastian
​
In art and life
I can’t deny
with best intention
Worst be done
​
The world's a stage
Poorly cast play
Actors hide shame
Behind masks, again and again
We’re sickened
Not by the wicked
But punishments
The good inflicted
​
The world's a stage
Poorly cast play
Actors hide shame
Behind masks, again and again
God's love is pain
We maim, in his name
On Earth, in Heaven
Evil remains
​
The world's a stage
Poorly cast play
Actors hide shame
Until the the curtain fall again

3) Derelict
​
Empty windows look out on life
Rain drips down blurring the lines
Sealed away and no one’s behind
No one’s inside
Green creeps in
The end begins
I’m praying for a flood
I’m praying for fire
To be one with mud
I’m no one’s desire
The works of man
Forgotten hand
Taken by the land
Shadows grow colder
The creeping scents of moulder
The path is choked and broken
Chained and locked
and long forgotten
The light is out
And long forgotten
Goodbye to dreams
Surrender to dust
Every hinge screams
Consumed by rust
My walls are breaking...

4) In the Midnight Hour
​
Wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
Wait 'till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
Gonna take you girl, and hold you
And do all things I told you
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
Wait till the stars come out
See the twinkle in your eye
Gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when I know you're mine
You're the only girl I know
And I really love you so
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
(wait... WAIT...)
Wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
Gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
You can try to get away
But I'll find you anyway
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour

5) Belie
​​
All your pains are in vain
All will end
Air, sea, and land
Gods and
Man
​
I can’t see what I can’t believe
No one’s there in the air
Chaos reigns over our pains
Do not believe belief be lies
You will rot all for naught
All your pains are in vain
All will end
Air and sea And the lands
Gods and
Man
Whispers there
To deaf air
Unholy
Despair
Cry where
No gods care
No gods there
ALL WILL END
ALL MEN
ALL THINGS
PAIN AND
SUFFERING

6) Demon's
​​​
Na téigh i muinín leighis
Atá níos measa ná an galar féin
​​
Through blackthorn groves
You outrun sorrow
From high to low
Into the shadows
Flee to where hills’re hollow
Flee to where none'll follow
Just you try and outrun pain
To feel nothing ever again
​
Lose yourself to the mad delights
Drink deep of Our fair queen’s wine
Sip away all your sorrow
Forget your life, forget your price
​
Flee to where hills are hollow
Flee to where none can follow
Just you try and outrun pain
You'll feel nothing ever again
​​
Bás ola, bás sona, bás solais, bás sóláis
Deal’s a deal with demons and fae
bás aithreachais, bás gan chrá
no more love
bás gan scáth
no more pain
bás gan bhás
Be no iron or chains
bás gan scanradh
but a cage, all the same
bás gan dólás
​​
Flee to where, hills’re hollow
Flee to where, none would follow
Finally, outran pain
Nothing to lose, ever again
​
Left it all, far behind
All you love, lost in time
None are left but crumbling bones
And old names for love in stone

7) Ozymandias
​
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
show me cities rise and fall
World I’ve built, the things I’ve done
how long will my praises be sung?
Beings of vanity and of lust
show me man returned to dust
Speak to me in silver tongues
Tell me, am I good enough?
Behold I am the king of kings
God among ye mortal beings
Yet still a man
doomed to fear
Entropy everywhere
When all is said
there will be none
To think of us when we are gone
Trunkless legs we stand upon
Remnant of our Babylon
Mirror, mirror, tell me please
Where this constant struggle leads
Will my dream, my empire stand
Or fall lost under shifting sand?
What’s the purpose of this then
If all we do will someday end
If all our passions, works and glories
Never ‘til tomorrow stand
Behold I am the king of kings
God among ye mortal beings
Yet still a man
Doomed to fear
Emptiness everywhere
Sands of time
Fall and drain
Form deserts stretching far away
As all the world we know decays
Footprints in the sand will fade
Beings of vanity and lust
Show me man returned to dust
Speak to me in silver tongues
Tell me, am I good enough?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Show me cities rise and fall
The world I’ve built
The things I’ve done
How long will my praises be sung?

8) Night Falls
​​​
Wishing to speak but not to dare
Tears flow like blood at the joy of fiends
We all suffer evil dealings
I see the terror in your eyes
And I can’t stem the rising tides
The swords are raised against you
There is nothing I can do
​
How many dreams have you got?
You ever think you’d wake up?
How many dreams have you got?
You ever think you’d wake up?
You ever think you’d wake up?
​
We all sense a gathering storm
It’s now the future that we mourn
So in my arms I’ll hold you close
It’s you I’ll give love most
And while you may say all your prayers
I’ll stare into the blackest air
And nurture my fury again
And plot them all a bitter end
​
How many years have you got?
You see your time was up?
Well how many dreams have you got?
You ever think you'd wake up?
You ever think you'd dry up?
​
How many dreams?
How many screams?
How long?
Can you hang on?
And how long?
'Til you're gone?

9) Mephisto
​​​​​
Oh, I miss you so.
Oh, I miss you so...
He took my blood in trade
Her fading touch in my dreams
Aching flood of memories
This deal I gladly made
Oh, I miss you so...
​
Thieves all in heaven above
Oh she, I can’t forget
Mephistopholes I thee beg
Steal back my lover’s breath
Now you caress my face
How our love ensnares
Only devils answer prayers
Cooling blood staining lace
Oh, I miss you so...
Thieves all in heaven above
Oh she I can’t forget
Mephistopholes I thee beg
Steal back my lover’s breath
Mephistopholes keeper of souls
dealer of the damned
On this night
I beseech thee to reunite
My love to me
My love to light
Bring her back
From under night
Free from dreams
At night I scream
Come back to me
From memory
Mephisto please
Make it so!
Thieves all in heaven above
Oh she I can’t forget
Mephistopholes I thee beg
Steal back my lover’s breath
Thieves all in heaven above
Oh she, I can’t forget
Mephistopholes I thee beg
Steal back my lover’s breath

10) Darkness
​
I had a dream
Which was no dream
Night was clad to mourn for day
Their feeble hands were raised to pray
That anything would feed their flames
To hope in vain, to keep death at bay
​
The sun quenched of light
Earth’s cast to endless night
The moon is gone, the blood runs cold
With bated breath, now death takes hold
​
Breathing, yet barely human
Famine carved each face a ruin
Screams gave way to meakest wails
‘Til each flame at last failed
​
The sun quenched of light
Earth's cast to endless night
The moon is gone, blood runs cold
With bated breath, now death takes hold
​
The world was void
a chaos of hard clay
Forests burned
eyes wept
With hopes now ash, no love was left
Men became beasts, beasts were meat
All the earth was but one thought
and that
was
death
​
Seasonless
Herbless
Treeless
Manless
Lifeless
Ceaseless
Icy
DARKNESS
Darkness
Darkness
Darkness

11) Vox Nihili
​​
As above
So below
Fearful guide
Down dark roads
Hear it calling
All your life
The living fear
The voice of nothing
Whispers call
Leading astray
Harsh lessons
Taught in pain
Hear it calling
All your life
The living fear
The voice of nothing
Stars never knew you were there
When you’re gone
None will care
Live in fear
Try to forget
The end is near
The final breath
Hear it calling
All your life
The living fear
The voice of nothing
This failed experiment
has reached its end
The vain attempt against night
To resist entropic winds
There once was life and tiny points light
And now nothing
Will be heard
Again
