Sacred Sin Eye M God Evocation Of The Depraved Gathered around the circle To evoke the one divine The almighty entity Out spawned devilish desire Evil is resurrected Summoning the bastard child To crave upon our flesh And bath in holy blood Saints bleed to me In blood I shall be proclaimed As master supreme Lord of the tribes All shall perish Consumed in holy fire Tormenting agony lnflicted upon the holy flesh Solo Q.N. You bastards die Blasphemy of thousand tales Morbid growls surrounding Evoking the unholy priest Bringer of disgrace Crush the sign of the cross Lord of the abominable Son of the bastard child Solo Q.N./T.P. Evocation, evocation Evocation, evocation Inductive Compulsion Lost within my senses Compelled in frenzy grasp The immediate urge to obtain ls fixed within our minds As our futile lives pass by Trying to cheat everyone Always stepping each other For any pathetic reason Life in time of crisis Ignorance swallows the lack of conscience Solo Q.N./T.P./Q.N./T.P. Fuckin' consuming disease Disseminated upon humans Spread by corrupted minds Aiming their own gain Selling their useless shit Wasting our resources The moral of profit rules Upon the devious minds Solo Q.N./T.P. The deteriorated principles Of those who have command Inductive compulsion Consuming phobia Money making logic inside Our materialistic nature Eye M God As I follow my path to the dark mist I set forth for my joumey is endless Wisdom supreme was made to rule The powers exalted from above and below Undefiled knowledge is shown As l come to take my place at the throne Knee! before thy Master!! I reign over thee Trusted you as the palm of my hands Brightened thy vestments with infernal light Lift my voice to swear allegiance To him that shines as a flame in the midst Reign among us as the ineffable Balance of power, whose wings are Like thorns to stir up vexatlon Solo T.P. Blessed are the chosen ones For their power shall outlive Mastery over the hidden arts For they shall inherit the earth Kneel before thy Master!! I reign over thee Making men drunk with emptiness With eyes to stir the wrath of sin For l'm your god and rule supreme True worshiper of flesh that live forever Eye M God Death-Bearing Machine l'm laying trapped in the dark Listening to the falling rain My last moments seem lost In the cold of a chilling voice Greet me as l awake, unaware of my past My whispered dreams unspoken My wasted hopes unravelled Let me rest in solitude Leave me now it's the end Relief I seek not regret Pull it off and let me ascend To higher grounds l'm bound Free from this meaningless pain Unchained from agony, released from despair The false deceiving mask In which you hide behind Separated from everything Captive in an empty shell Never to show how hate Made you build these lies Never to answer the call Of your long whispered cries Lost inside the pain Death-bearing machine Is no way to exist Death-bearing machine The deceiving ways of life Where nothingness is everything The twisted ways of reality Where everything is sadness I hear a mournful cry From the unknown it comes Singing for me "Goodbye, Farewell my son!" Solo T.P./Q.N./T.P./Q.N. The everlasting deceit Of a lost and wasted existence Supported by nothingness Beared by a string of hope The Nighthag (Nocturnal Queen) The wind blows cold through the woods Freezing whispers left in the dawn The moonlight reflects the shining rime These drops covering since ancient times At dawn she sleeps in moumful peace Dreaming trapped in primordial times The wolves also rest that is their lair Around the cottage or anywhere The freezing wind blows all day ‘Till night comes and they're away In the eternal soil of mystery Into the land where fairies sing One kiss and you'll never Come embrace me, nocturnal queen... At night the wind whispers my name Singing out through the forest, Come forth and take me far away Howling at the full moonlight Devoted to it‘s mighty entity Worship her power the source of all As I go forth to follow thy call Breeding from it‘s silver lightning Follow the path to it‘s mystic shining Noctumal Queen Solo T.P./Q.N./T.P./Q.N. The wind‘s still whispering her name Singing it‘s rhyme through the forest Now that she's gone her presence is still there Can feel in the woods, can sense in the air The wolves still howl to the full moonlight Like they did before and every night Wondering through the forest Forever, forever peacefully dreaming Forever, forever in sempiternal sleep Come forth and take Noctumal Queen... l breath from the breeze From it I'm sustained and Live in the air floating With joyful grace, my promised place Night comes and I gaze at the moon We'll be together soon We'll fly through the woods at night ‘Till day breaks and comes the light Ono With God (Instrumental) Solo T.P. Guilt Has No Past Guilt has no past Only memories forever last Guilt is your enemy Anguish and fear is yours For eternity Guilt has no past Only remorse forever last Guilt shall always rest Trapped within the depth Of your subconsciousness The key to find The person you really are Lays within your self It's not something you can show Why? The fears you hold Inside cannot be seen Even you might cry When the time comes you'll Know why guilt has no past Solo T.P./Q.N./T.P./Q.N. No one will ever know The simple solution The vital principle That precede life's illusion Guilt has no past Guilt has no... past Show me what lays behind The mask you have built What is wrong, where's the truth To find what is real Guilt has no past Guilt has no... past A Human Jigsaw Do you know the one? Do you know who holds the key? We are them... they are we! Carry forth our guardian To kingdom come with your daggers Of the spirit Let the dagger run as the past Returns, redeemer, carry forth Keep the tire in your hand It won‘t let you drown As you fly with your wings Won't you come falling down ‘Cause this place ain't big enough For wrong and right How we crush our existence When we're all human after all Deliver our existence Releasing the fears inside A human jigsaw Carry forth our guardian To kingdom come with the ghost And the spirit, carry forth Let the tire run as we become one Carry forth, redeemer, carry forth Solo Q.N./T.P. Like in death you can climb Higher than the sky Show your wings and fly, fly high Fly past the guardian To kingdom come Solo T.P. Life's miracle disappears When all your hopes are gone And nothing stands your dream Of a new born land Separate the sacred from the profane This place ain't big enough For wrong and right The way we deny each others suffering Do you know the one? Do you know who holds the key? We are them... they are we! Link To Nothingness Connecting the thoughts in my mind To reach some deeper insight Upon the limiting bounds Of our human abilities Questions without answers and mysteries To discover The link between infinity and our existence We keep inside ourselves The answers we kept within our minds Only have to search for what's trapped inside Reason can‘t always explain The purpose for our living passage The link between all and nothingness We keep inside ourselves Solo T.P./Q.N. The tmth is where you believe (it is) Reality is what you want it to be You just have to close your eyes And fulfil the dream Can you see where the real meaning of things lay Can you understand the reason of life The link between all and nothingness We keep inside ourselves Dead Mind Breed ln the house of deranged they meet Balancing within their armour Neurotic with pretentious safety Gathered to dwell at the shelter of mad The weaker falling unsafe shooting everyone To make others fall The falling re-tribute to the opponent And anyone else around Solo Q.N. The neurotic never leaves his old and rusty armour Dead-dead mind breed Neurotic nature inside concealed When in fact your conscience is dead Your conscience is dead Lacking the strength to move inside their mask Easier and faster they forget they're armed Solo T.P. Some try to steal others, some try to get free from it Some can‘t do it and get frustrated Others are eaten alive from the back Neurotics can't fight together cause they don't have A promised land They're to individual and frightened like everything Solo Q.N. In the anatomic universe of the armed neurotics lt's from solitude that they run Tired of guns and armours Can never find rest Running from themselves and for themselves To The Endless Path Of Hecate By your hand I find my way through moonless nights In plain darkness I can feel your warmth But when we finally embrace just let me sleep Sleep in your arms forever...
