A labyrinth's deadly, cruel domain Hanging chains with chunks remains A putrid smell of rotting blood The cold dark winds are howling The blackest dirt, the whitest trees The bluest leaves you'll ever see The whitest grass all across the land A rampant smell of sulfur Inside the darkness, they're watching you in silence So save your last breath, they'll take you away Screaming in silence, they're taking my life all away Why am I here, please no not this way Souls of the dead Will find their way again In the end The city plazas and city squares Hold barbaric type affairs Some for pleasure and some for fun Evil always reigns here Blackened burned all the ugly freaks They're burning babies in the street They spotted me now I run to flee The bastards all they chase me Inside the darkness, they're watching you in silence So save your last breath, they'll take you away Screaming in silence, they're taking my life all away Why am I here, please no not this way Souls of the dead Will find their way again In the end

You're hurting yourself just to make me pay Another lie, another game What goes through your head, what do you think You're digging yourself a grave You thought you had it all well planned out It hadn't crossed your mind, you need me now The way it was Remember the way it was So go away now And leave me with my memories It's too late now For God only knows my pain You continue this charade day by day You never seem to learn from your past mistakes I'm so sick of fighting, why won't you cease Come to some sense, I beg you please You thought you had it all well planned out It hadn't crossed your mind, you need me now The way it was Remember the way it was The time has come for me to go my way My final straw, your end of days So long and farewell, your time is up Don't come crawling back, I won't give a fuck You thought you had it all well planned out It hadn't crossed your mind, you need me now The way it was Remember the way it was So go away now And leave me with my memories It's too late now For God only knows my pain
3.
Beyond the life and beyond the death All beginnings come to an end Hand in hand, I'll take you through the darkness Pass through curtains, the warming calmness Just ignore the whispers The whispers of the dead Faces stare from every room Her name is written on the tomb She goes and charges at me like a shrieking beast While my reflection's staring back, laughing at me A place between the two worlds Fear is the key Step inside the circle Facing the unknown Never to return Is this death or is this birth I'm trapped inside a nightmare Of anguish and despair Never to return
4.
Welcome to hell's domain The suffering, endless pain The masses burn the priest The newborns cry and scream Worshipping the flesh Glorifying death You're killing in his name But I'm the one insane A fading future A soulless world, where envy and hatred run free A broken world, keep all your fortunes and greed A soulless world, changing the tides of the sea A broken world, never returning to me Harboring the souls Washing them once more Conditioned to obey Metamorphic drastic change You're eating up the lies But never wonder why You're living in the past No, nothing ever lasts No more future A soulless world, where envy and hatred run free A broken world, keep all your fortunes and greed A soulless world, changing the tides of the sea A broken world, never returning to me
5.
Tossing, I cannot sleep I have an awful feeling deep inside of me Hearing distant screams Breaking the silence after midnight's dream Monster Destroyer Monster Destroyer of men Running towards the street A crowd of people fleeing from the scene Rising from the sea A horrible, unknown creature sets its sight on me Monster Destroyer Monster Destroyer of men Dodging all I see I'm trying to run for cover, maybe underneath Falling as I see Ahead the subway entrance, the beast is over me Monster Destroyer Monster Destroyer of men

In the dead of midnight, coming from the north Demons infiltrating every city With their arms ablazing, harming young and old Forcing families out to walk in the cold Kill those who oppose Hang them from the mains Apprehend the rest They all will obey Desecrating temples, spreading blasphemy We must stand against this wicked wisdom Controlling the past, erasing what they want Creating their own evil future Kill those who oppose Hang them from the mains Apprehend the rest They all will obey As we band together As we look towards the light In the wind you'll hear the devils cry You might take my life now, but long after I'm gone I'll be remembered as a fearless martyr Kill those who oppose Hang them from the mains Apprehend the rest They all will obey
7.
Stories of a place, hidden still remains Forbidden territories never to disturb A temple made of stone with a heart of gold Deep inside the jungle it lies sleeping still Look out The evil spirits Have awoken In this place It's so hard to say goodbye To the only ones we love I hope we will meet again Looking for the truth, following the clues All the answers lie down buried in the earth Lanterns light my way as voices cry in vain Walking down the corridor of morbid images Look out The evil spirits Have awoken In this place It's so hard to say goodbye To the only ones we love I hope we will meet again Mummified remains, artifacts with snakes Enigmas that can never ever be revealed I'm slowly losing breath, am I facing death Waiting for the answer waiting to go home Look out The evil spirits Have awoken In this place It's so hard to say goodbye To the only ones we love I hope we will meet again

Deep inside a village A rural part of Duboka 'Round a fire singing A morbid trance invoked for all The lifeless body's burning They're chanting evil in the night This eerie cult is livid Their shallow eyes are glowing bright You pledge your life out to the plague The man-made virus clouds your head And in the end you will be dead Come back to life to kill again To die is to live in your world In the fiery depths you'll burn The foggy woods are howling They seem to speak in unknown tongue Towards a church I'm running The chimes of midnight have begun The hordes of ugly creatures Make their way past through the gates They're dripping blood, flesh eaters Infected with a taste of rage You pledge your life out to the plague The man-made virus clouds your head And in the end you will be dead Come back to life to kill again To die is to live in your world In the fiery depths you'll burn Must find a way to the city Away from this ungodly place Ambushed by the hooded people I'm dragged and carried to a cave Evil parasite injected Into my blood, in through my veins The intoxicating power The ritual of Vlach seals my fate You pledge your life out to the plague The man-made virus clouds your head And in the end you will be dead Come back to life to kill again To die is to live in your world In the fiery depths you'll burn

The shadow king is dead A new world is at hand Uniting all the earth A feeling of rebirth Cos death is always near Playing with your fears Fighting while we're here I'll make em disappear Secrets from above Not knowing where they're from Chasing every dream Knowing what it means Cos death is always near Playing with your fears Fighting while we're here I'll make em disappear The greed, the lust and the fame Corruption once again Hidden in the smoke A truth no one's spoke Cos death is always near Playing with your fears Fighting while we're here I'll make em disappear
