1. Of Blind Faith

Man has made this mountain from a single grain of sand
Primitive life told of not what they saw but of things they didn't understand
Digging up the past from its rightful ground, looking for of what can never be found

The followers live a mountain climbing journey and have lost their way
They don't know there is no way to climb
Running unto who they want to be
But the words of one man to another never seem to rhyme

Staggering... seeing light of blind faith through the dark
There is no light, no eternal spark

Frost-bitten anger from from the coldness of lies
Melting from the flaming heat that slowly burns their eyes
As they lose themselves in the ruin of betrayal
The dream of hope is left behind in the fading mountain trail

It's only fear that makes them blind, so blind, they can't see
No-one wants to live the truth, whatever will be... will be

Crumbling is the stumbling block from the many thousands of years
But now it is the stepping stone of facing up to all our fears
Faith is the only blanket to keep a warm feeling of hope
When the dream starts to chill throughout this icy mountain slope
The dream is descending in the cold

2. The Necromancer

From far away and ancient call echoes through the wind
A revolving swirl of memories, a scattered distant call
The scales of birth balance the ever changing rate of life
One more will be born while yet another one will die
From far away a man hears the faint enchanted call
Reminding him of the anguish that he thought had long gone
He feels the eerie chill branching throughout his spine
A hounding, creeping aura slowly entering his mind

The hands of time are tapping on his shoulder
Showing him the path to follow where he must one day tread
To walk the secrets of the silent stance
Carving out the gravestone for the wastelands of the dead

The dead speak their secrets to merely a mortal man
With the gift of the second vision he begins to understand
He can see the fate of everyone that ever lived and died
His transparent soul is the resting place where the death of life confide
Walking through the face of two separate worlds... alone
The power of the second sight he so unwillingly condones

He is the keeper hearing nothing but of visions
Surrounding him with the riddles searching for the immaculate answer
Born unto circumstance he is chosen one
Where life and death collide in the wounded paradise of the Necromancer
"DEATH, the stench of death is everything I see
Ridden with confusion in the alter of uncertainty HELL!
I am trapped between the land of the damned and of the free
Why am I the chosen one, (why me?)...why me???"

3. The Running Man

Chimes are rinsing a naked cycle in the wind
Like diamonds crashing to ground, falling from painted skies
Streams of chaos fold into changing waves
As every picture tells a thousand lies

Between the lines of black and white
Standing alone, secretly withdrawn, so far out of reach
Hiding in denial will never change our destiny
For the freight of mans soul under siege

See trough the eyes of the Running Man, in every corner of your mind
Running for your life, dying to survive, running out of time!

Reach for the killing hand (Bite the hand that feeds)
Hide from the Running Man (Be the one that bleeds)
All these painted memories that were once thought to be true
Rest on broken alibi, stolen from inside you... hidden from truth

We are running for our lives, dying to survive
Running out of lies, running out of time

In this lonely open field becoming our savior
Traces of morality are leaving man for dust
Don't ever question your own integrity
In the end there is no-one you can trust

Down into the dungeons of hypocrisy
We condone seeking approval to embellish mankind in conspiracy
Denial will never change a thing
It just over-runs the power of what we may foresee

4. Reflection Faded

I find myself grasping for the world that's slowly slipping away
I don't want to feel the isolation of being left behind
I've been locked away by the chains around the fringes of my thoughts
And haunted by delusions enclosed within my mind

Insanity speaks to me in a voice I'd rather not hear
But I'm forced to listen, I'm being led astray
Reflections of betrayal stare me in the face
And I'm crushed from from the mirror image it portrays

Once upon a dark and lonely time
Starring in too deep at the mirror image of who I used to be
Made me feel so much hate, hate inside of me it turned me blind
And all I see is now I've become what I most despise
All I see is my reflection fading me

I can never find the inner strength to revolt against my despair
Remorse exists only to tip the balance of my mind over the edge
I'm falling into an involuntary collision course in which that I am trapped
I will reach yet one more time before I make my final pledge

As this storm of downpour clouds my vision
It's flooding me to the brim of my overlooked tears
I'm being swept away (by the vast featureless ocean of depression)
And will adrift with the journey of endless fears.

5. Spellbound

Eternal shatter in the distance
Chanting foul whisperings, a sacred dance in the shadows
Peering at the moon arising in foreign skies
Faded night, a dark cold and crimson glow of howling hunger
Evading silent screams cry out from scarlet eyes

Sing your final prayer as you will
Your forsaken wish is fulfilled
Demons rage with anger rising from their sacred ground
Condemning you forever, condemning you... Spellbound!

Twilight murder, do you dare to follow?
Pale is the moon
Your horizon is forever night

Run if you will but there's nowhere to hide
Nothing can save you from the death of your life
You carry the shadows from the sacred dance
To escape from the shadows... you have no chance!

You cannot defy their evil spell
To free yourself from the realms of hell

6. Edge Of Existence

Burning eternal beyond all redemption
Plagued with the illness of laughing disease
Falling down into the edge of existence
Spinning and turning to scattered debris
Man in the circle hiding in darkness
Concealed in a ball of infinity
Surrounded in wastelands of creeping erosion
Poisoning the soul from the crust of mortality

Lingering in suspended pretense, chasing the circle around again
(Man in the Circle, hiding in darkness) Around the outside of eternity
(Falling down into the edge of existence) Between the center of infinity

So many years of blackened waste, evaporate under blink of an eye
Smouldering from the gaze of time

Look back on what is now the past to see what lies ahead
To settle on the cursed earth like the fleeting dust from the teeming dead
Tomorrow soon will find us burying our souls in the regret of yesterday
As the end gets closer, the beginning of time drifts further away

Carving through the parallels of life to disalign
Snapping all direction of light passing through the prism of time

So many fears scorned beyond hate, burns darkness into the stare of our eyes
Soldering our faces blind

8. Dreamreaper

Master of illusion take me to a new domain
Spare me the bloody hell from this life of pain
Black angels they watch over me calling out my name
Infecting me with paranoia, tainting me insane
Now I lay me down to sleep
Adrift in awaiting your keep

Master of deception I fear no longer what I've done
For the dawn will break the silence to take what I've become
Now it's time to give my soul for you to take it far beyond
As this curse of darkness searches on and on
Beyond this call of the sign
Eternal darkness is forever mine

Dream Reaper, master of the dark
Will come for the soul of the damned
The haunted seas of afterlife converting you for death in your wake
No-one can elude the summons of black angels
Beckoning your spirit for the grim keeper

Master of the heavens take me in under the stars
The blade of fate now swings above me awaiting fatal scars
Sanctify this loss of life and replenish it with sin
The final web is woven as the journey now begins

Hide me away from the fear of the light
Take my soul through the curse of the dark
Master of deception I fear not what I've done
Break the silence to take what I've become
