Bloodstained clouds divide Giving birth to a sickening child Red moon on the rise An eye from beyond this world Is it a sign of doom Or a tool for some force - of evil What did they see Those beckoned from sleep Staring into the abyss Wandering out in the night Where these poor men damned from start Or a victim of chance Did they pay for sins long gone Or was heaven just blind Red moon - Black magic The eye is watching The world has bent To the vilest of wills Mist sweeps through the streets From the woods come feeble screams Tonight every sleeping child Writhers with terrible dreams Morning has come Now the spell is broken But the world holds no signs Of those who left that night Now cries are heard For lovers lost For brothers gone And souls devoured A blind man sits under an oak Wearing the strangest smile

Again it haunts my dreams This desolate foreboding place Something dwells there, hidden from the eyes of men And only I hear its call Black towering spires Spiked massive gates rusted shut In the dephts of this hellish tomb Something stirs from unholy slumber And I, The last of my kin Must return to the castle... ...of the ancient tyrant Thus my journey of madness begins I have seen in dreams, the path I must follow For through my veins it floats, thick and nobel The blood of this land, of secrets and shadows I stand before the gates, reading the inscription: "Enter not, lest madness devour thee" Smiling I enter the great hall, breaking ages of silence I approach the throne of bones, ancient monument of pain As I mount the throne, I feel a rush of hideous air I remember now who I once was From the dephts of my mind he ascends Now the tyrant sits on his throne again Reborn

about

I have fallen into damnation
Slowly darkness devours the world
While the light of my life burns
ever brighter and more violent

I fear it burns too fast now
and that it shall consume both me and all the earth
For every hour that passes my radiance conquers
and dominates this solemn landscape piece by piece

The shadows I cast are terrible to behold
Yet in the vaining light man must look elsewhere for guidance

Soon the first and brave will start to flock towards me
Then one by one they will turn their eyes from the failing sun and let their path be lit...
