Do you believe in heaven or du you believe in pain?
A sanctuary built for the mischosen
Is it the final contradiction or just an irony of fate?
Doomed we are to drown in an empty ocean

In Misery's dawn...

God's forgotten children struggle for their lives
While innocent convictors celebrate the knife
"I'll always be with you" - but I've never really been
On your way to the gallows, destiny's fulfilled

Misery's dawn
Can't you see?
Misery's dawn

Together from a black sea of stars we shall arise
To fall down once more, failure in disguise
In tragedy's harvest the fruit's a bitter loss
They broke your wings and make you tumble down...at any cost

You burned me with your poisoned seed of doubt
Why do you want me to suffer?

Is this the day of heaven or is this the day of pain?
I closed my heart forever as the blade slowly opened your veins

...Misery's dawn
Can't you see?
This is my private misery

2. Fall Into Oblivion

Downward the shores we pass
Clouds bathed in sombre twilight
Dust beneath our dragging feet
The crumbled shapes of your image

Left behind the dream of a time
That is fading away tirelessly
Paralysed we are
The light of old aged stars

We kissed the girls, we drank the wine
So why the hell not die
We cried out our songs to indifferent ears
So why the hell not die

...And fall into oblivion...
...And fall into oblivion...

When it comes to the dying season
Will you stay right at our side
When we leave this place together
Through the glens of our afterlife

At the shores of the tranquil sea
Waves take the land tirelessly
Take our thoughts away
To the light of old aged stars

Still in my mind...

Only among the stars there lies freedom
Only among the stars there is eternity
Only for one short moment our lives do last
Until the memories are washed away from the shores of our galaxy

...And fall into oblivion...
...And fall into oblivion...

3. Kolyma

They pass me when I close my eyes
Ragged lines of ragged grey
Grey their faces, grey their hands
Grey the ghosts that haunt this land
Their pain, it echoes through the hills
Though no one living ever left

This is Kolyma - a graveyard for the lost...

The muffled sounds of cries and moans
Of swearing, shooting and commands
They all disappeared in this big land
Where summer�s harsh and winter kills
Where gold is hidden, death�s for free
And freedom came from weapon steel

The forest conquered all the camps
Broke walls, cut fences down to earth

Land of gold and land of death,
A graveyard for the lost
You gave the treasures, you took the men,
You�ll keep them forever

The cold wind�s crying for the lost
He knows the sites where they all lie
The wolves are howling in the woods
Howl like calling up the dead
I�d rather trust in their fangs
Than in mercy by man�s hand

The cold wind�s crying for the lost
The one who knows their names

4. Redemption

Blessed are the fallen
Hearts full of grief
Blessed are the feeble
Who deny their own belief
I am stranded
Forgotten and forlorn
A hangman buried by his fear
See the scarecrows laughing
By jesters mesmerized
Staring at me with cruel eyes

So bleed for me
To set me free
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done - forever

Will you darken my bright sun?
Will you swallow your lost son?

Blessed are the fallen
Hearts full of grief
Blessed are the feeble
Who deny their own belief
So nail me to this cross
Then break the seventh seal
Paradise regained by guilt
�Cause the child has grown up now
And innocence is gone
Forgiveness is not running through your vein

A spell has been cast on my fevered mind
To bind my mercy to the living
So bleed for me
To set me free
...Right now...

5. HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
( Original by The Animals )

There is a house in New Orleans
they called to the rising sun
and its been the ruin of many a poor boy
and god i know i�m one

My mother was a taylor
she seewed my new blue jeans
my father was a gamblin man
down in new orleans

Oh mother tell your children
not to do what i have done
spend your lives in sin and misery
in the house of the rising sun

There is a house in new orleans
they called to the rising sun
and it��s been the ruin of many a poor boy
and god i know i�m one

6. THE ECLIPSE OF THE SEVENTH SUN
( Instrumental )

7. Passion And Demise

The sweet draught of liquor
Runs gently over my tongue
A feast of wicked pleasure
Is the delight of sweat and blood

The seed of a lost morality
As you sow, so shall you reap
A best of prey I am
Trapped in a human abattoir

Now we drift away
Into a proud act of violation
Flesh captures flesh
As we deluge in self-accusation

To copulate means to humiliate
And I tremble within your thighs
I devastate emotional ground
What I adore, I despise

I rape your soul and suck you out
Till I look into your frightened eyes
I�m a prisoner between your legs
In a vicious game of passion and demise...

Together we rise, divided we fall
Caressed by the innocent
I praise the holy whore...

Passion and Demise...

8. Dies Irae (Grave New World)

As sirens screamed out in the darkness
And fire fell down from the sky
As we cowered again in a bunker
We all knew the reason why

As our houses lay in ruins
And our sons were shot side by side
As the devil danced upon the graveyards
We all knew who�s to blame

"For I am not one of the cowards
For I�m neither mortal nor weak
For I am the one you have longed for
A new master-race I foresee"

"He that is without sin among you
Let him first cast a stone on you..." Joh. 8,1

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
If leaders feed beggars, a nation of beggars will fight

Those you once seduced
Are now here to be crucified
The principle of a fool
Who�s betrayed and sacrificed

"And to the fire-ey�d maid of smoky war
All hot and bleeding will we offer them:
The mailed Mars shall on his altar sit,
Up to the ears in blood..." Shakespeare
