Crowd
04:31
|
|||
People are like a flock of sheep,
They obey the sword,
Obey the one who's holding the whip.
If a dog barks, they run away,
They bleat, they graze
And they insist they have something to say.
Behind a painted smile,
Just hatred and denial,
But yet, they vote for the puppeteer!
Give them a little something,
A little more than nothing
And yes! They'll vote for the puppeteer!
Crowd! Crowd! Crowd!
Bread and circus for the crowd!
Crowd! Crowd!
Bread and circus!
They walk a path they did not choose,
Nobody's asking: "Why am I feeling confused?"
The answer is nowhere to be found,
As long as people will forever act like a crowd.

Riddles Of The Dead
04:11
|
|||
In face of death, they needed to have
A winning card hidden in the sleeve.
They believed that the spirits lasts,
(But) the flesh is week.
So, they needed something built to last,
Something to replace the rotting flesh.
The stone was good enough
To be the shelter for the soul...
Signs, symbols and faces and shapes!
Statues and columns and domes!
Sons of the hammer and the stone!
Riddles of the dead...
They chose the marble to be the paper
And the chisel to be the pen,
They built their thoughts in three dimensions,
In face of death they were sagacious men.
They built not for the eye,
Not for the stone,
Not for the sake of immortality.
What seems to be just a pile of bricks,
Is more then the eye can see.
There was a time of darkness and fear
And the world was a battle zone
But still, the craftsmen wrote
Their history in stone.
In spite of all the plagues and wars,
They spread their marvels all over the land.
Yet, they used symbols only few
Can really understand.

Lux In Tenebris
04:33
|
|||
No hope, no direction;
I need to see a spark,
Or to feel a hand to drag me
Out of the dark.
My steps are so heavy
And this blindness drives me mad.
It seems like the ground is burning,
I want to fly instead.
...So I try...
I try to fly,
I spread my wings and dash up to the sky.
But the darkness is still there,
It really doesn't seem to care
And if I want to land again,
I'll crash.
I hear no sound,
I feel no breath...
Maybe I just crossed the boundary of death.
I was led by vanity,
I wanted to be a better me
And the darkness made me taste
Defeat.
No hope, no emotion,
I am about to die,
But suddenly I feel
A hand touching my eyes.
A voice asks another:
"What do you ask for him?"
"The light we want!" is the answer
And the light I receive.
Lux in tenebris! In tenebris!
Lux in tenebris!
Sic faceat lux!
Lux in tenebris! In tenebris!
Lux in tenebris!
Ex tenebris lux!

Strâga
05:11
|
|||
Luatu-s-au strâgile,
Strâgile şi scorpiile,
Râmnitorii şi moroii,
Dimpreună cu strigoii,
Pe cărare rourată,
Pe cărare necălcată,
La o margine de sat,
Unde-i locul necurat.
Foc mare or încropit
Şi s-or pus pe dănţuit,
Ochiul rău or ridicatu,
Mana vacii c-or luatu!
Strâga! Strâga!
Duhul necurat...
Strâga! Strâga!
Rău o blăstămat!
Cu farmecele în mân
Şi cu râhna-nhiptă-n sân,
Cu selnicul la chişior
Şi untură de dihor,
Gubăvia o-mpărţea
La oricine le-ntâlnea,
Zgaiba animalelor,
Într-un fapt de promucior...
Du-te, strâgă, pe pustie,
Unde nime' nu te ştie!
Cu biciul te-oi biciui,
Până pielea ţi-o plesni!

Cards Of Destiny
03:34
|
|||
Let me know my fate!
Show myself to me!
Let the Major Arcana speak
About the path of destiny...
The Fool will dream,
The Death will change,
The combination seems so strange!
With silent words they speak to me...
The Cards of Destiny!
The Queen of Wands reversed:
Revenge and domination...
Anger with the Nine of Swords...
I am doomed, I lost my words!

Tubhal Qayin
03:34
|
|||
In the days when the earth was young,
Tubal Cain became king and lord,
For he took a vulgar iron rung
And turned it into a mighty sword.
Hail for the son of Lamech and Zillah!
Hail for the mighty brother of Naamah!
His name will forever last clean!
Tubhal Qayin!
Forging the metal, taming the fire!
What a poetry!
He is the one who invented the art of alchemy!
Tubhal Qayin!
But as the hate among the people grew,
He came to see the sword in the wrong hands.
He turned the iron into something new,
Meant to plow the willing lands.

Evil Twin
03:37
|
|||
Another world lays in front of you...
Another reality,
As you gaze upon a broken mirror,
You see your evil twin!
Left is right!
The weak is strong!
Distorted truth!
What's right is wrong!
Illusions live
Behind your eyes!
You're not you!
All that's left is lie!
No fear, no hope!
He knows no sin!
It's your own reflection!
Your evil twin!
He is all that
You will never be!
He sees all that
You will never see.
Evil! Evil! Evil twin!
I am your evil twin!

A Picture In The Pocket
04:02
|
|||
I am a soldier in war
It's not my fight but I’ve been told
To guard the trench, (Oh God!), so close
Of enemy lines.
...And it's so cold!
I keep a picture at my chest:
My little brothers and my mom.
I'm sure we gonna meet again
They smile for me.
I'm so alone...
It's freezing and so dark!
I miss my home so much!
When I'll come back I will meet my girl,
All of my friends and my dear mom!
When I'll come back it will be alright...
All will be alright!
Oh, the silence now it's gone
And the earth it seems to burn
And the enemy attacks!
Search for cover, they are fast
Time it's freezing in a blast
And i suddenly feel stuck.
Now I'm lying on the grass,
I'm sure for me the war has passed
And I can even fly around...
A soldier checks my uniform
And takes the picture of my mom
With tears in his eyes...
I'll never meet my girl again,
She will grow old without my love,
My mom without her elder son,
But they will be alright!

It Begins!
03:46
|
|||
Thirteen lights fall down
From the mourning sky,
Crying out for revenge.
Broken wings, shattered dreams,
Forever opened wounds...
The rebellion suppressed.
We believed in a beautiful lie
But now we see the truth
Coming down from the sky,
The darker side of us is revealed
As innocence dies.
Legions of demons inhabit the Earth
And legions of demons inhabit the Earth.
The final eclipse
I know what it means.
I see the end
How it begins!
Watch out! Here they come,
Creatures of the night.
They are lurid like death.
Broken wings, shattered dreams,
Forever opened wounds...
And they claim their revenge.
Give me a stone to lay myself under
Or give me a shell to hide myself into.
The darker side of me is revealed
As innocence dies.
