1. Devils And Angels

The passage opens and I slip in
Into your conscience under your skin
Through the doorway my shadow spills
Straight to your senses to prey upon your will

Devils and Angels
Devils and Angels
We will rise

You have manifested a living form
Of all your secrets, all your buried bones
We are forsaken, sentenced to descend
But with your wicked wishes we can rise again

Devils and Angels
Devils and Angels
We will rise

Past the fringe of your perception (we are waiting)
Just beyond your reach (how long we've been waiting)

We are alive and we will soon arise
We have survived falling from so high

Devils and Angels
Devils and Angels
We will rise

Now the world has gone to sleep
Slowly spinning 'round
Angels taking flight
As the black wings fill the sky
While the serpents serenade
"Rise"

2. Stranded

Something holding you won't let go
Now the Passenger takes control
Set our course to one direction
To the black side of the Sun

We are stranded
Stranded on the dark side of the Sun
We are stranded
Crashed down from the void

Low vibrations no-one hears
In the silence sounds so clear
Send transmission out to no-one
Set controls to self destroy

We are stranded
Stranded on the dark side of the Sun
We are stranded
Crashed down from the void
Stranded, stranded

I can almost hear them
Almost see them
I can almost feel them
Like a cold around

Dark emotions they invite
Strangers, passengers, parasites
Through the portal open wide
Through my weakness, through my pride
Set out course to out of nowhere
Destination no-one knows where
Forward motion wrong direction
Final station undetermined
Send transmission
Send transmission
We are stranded
We are stranded

3. Back To Black

"Sister fell into the well"
I heard you cry
What you sank into the lake
Has washed a-tide

You're reaping what you've sown
The Devil keeps this own
Come redemption day
Back to black, you fade away

Someone cried the words
Of Lucifer's song

You can't slake the tongue of the snake
Savouring you alive
And the moons that wail from the grim, the pale
The moon that wait from the grim, the pale

You're reaping what you've sown
The Devil keeps this own
Come redemption day
Back to black, you fade away

Someone cried the words
Of Lucifer's song

Try to shake, you cannot awaken from your sleep
In this dream, your silent scream
Endless dream, your silent scream Yeah

You're reaping what you've sown
The Devil keeps this own
Come redemption day
Back to black, you fade away

4. All The Bad Men

Some say the bad men built a big machine
That they hide from the world
Hide from the world
Code name "Operation Nightshade"

Have you heard of all of the bad men?
Have you heard of all the bad, bad men?

Some say the bad men started every war
And they lied to the word
Denied to the world
Some say the bad men seed the clouds today
When they rain on the world
Bring pain on the world
Code name "Operation Nightshade"

Blame it on the bad men
Blame it on the bade, bad men

Say goodbye to the world
Try not to cry for the world

Don't you talk about 'bout the bad, bad men
Don't you talk about about the bad, bad men

Some say that the bad men
Dropped the bomb today
Down inside of the world
They dived the world
Code name "Operation Nightshade"

Have you heard of all of the bad men?
Have you heard of all the bad, bad men?
Have you heard of all of the bad men?
Have you heard of all the bad, bad men?

5. The Fallen

When I close my eyes upon the world
And the skies are shrouded from my sight
I wake into a place inside your mind, and I'll find
A darker shade of light
Coiled deep inside you in the corner of your mind
Hush now, just close your eyes
You'll need your sleep tonight
'Cause when the morning comes
Just close your eyes while I creep inside you

Calling into you
Calling into you
Deep inside you
Just close your eyes while I creep inside you

We are the fallen
We are the fallen
We are the fallen
We are the fallen
Fallen from a star
Fallen from a star
Fallen from a star
Fallen from a star
Fallen from a star
Close your eyes

We are the fallen
We are the fallen
We are the fallen
We are the fallen
Sweet child just close your eyes while I fall inside you
You'll need your sleep tonight
'Cause when the morning comes
Fallen from a star – we are the Fallen
Fallen from a star – sweet child rest your mind
Fallen from a star – we are the Fallen
Fallen from a star – sweet child just rest your mind tonight
From the sky – we call from the sky
From the sky – we call from the sky
From the sky – we're call from the sky

6. While The Spiders Spin

Here in my cell
Down in my shell
I hold in my hand a hi-def window to my life
I'm a modern man

Here in my cell i can choose my addiction
While the spiders spin

Here in my cell
My wishing well
I find my love
Encoded, encrypted she comes to me
And she supplies

Here in my cell I can choose my addiction
While the spiders spin
Here in my cell I can lose my connection
While the spiders spin

Stuck like flies, this web worldwide will swallow
Make hollow
Spin the looms to our cocoons they bleed you
Bereave you
Caught like flies this web world wide will swallow
Make hollow
Spin the looms to our cocoons they bleed you
Bereave you

Here in my cell
My wishing well
I find my love
Encoded, encrypted she comes to me
And she supplies

Here in my cell I can choose my addiction
While the spiders spin
Here in my cell I can lose my connection
While the spiders spin

7. Pull The String

Satan Calling
Angels falling
Supersonic raven cawing
Paint by numbers
Pull the string
Soldiers marching on

Demagogs of demolition
Sorcerers and men of vision
Paint by numbers
Pull the string
Soldiers marching on

Angel carry guns
Oh, angels carry guns
The dogs will count their days

Saints and serpents
Demons, angels
Gods and Devils
Paint by numbers
Pull the string
Soldiers marching home

Angel carry guns
Oh, angels carry guns
The dogs will count their days

You know the Gods are crying bombs
Look out below
The Gods are crying bombs

Angels carry guns
Oh, angels carry guns
The dogs will count their days
Dogs will count their days
The dogs will count their days 3-2-1

8. Demystified

When the light crawls away
Children of the darkness play
When the twilight fades into the night
See the colours pale to black and white
Just like Legion, cast into the swine
Choke on the strange fruit dying on the vine
We spit the thorns out like a bitter pill
We spill the blood upon the spinning wheel

Demystified
We're all demystified
We cry to no avail
Better we just ave ourselves
Demystified
We're all demystified
We cry to no avail
Better we just save ourselves
Better we just save ourselves
We're blinded by the Sun
We are trying to feel our way
We are trying to find the day

I climb the mountain to ascertain
To hear the wise man speak to me again
His words of wisdom chilled me to the bone
"Be like the water, not like the stone"

Demystified
We're all demystified
We cry to no avail
Better we just ave ourselves
Demystified
We're all demystified
We cry to no avail
Better we just save yourselves
Better we just save yourself
Better we just save yourself

9. Season Of The Swarm

We're on a road to nowhere
Burning bridges light our way
Marched one by one to the gallows
Or one by one, we'll walk away

Many miles away
Crossed the line of no return

We've searched the universe
But we've been flying in reverse my friend
However high the rockets fly
We'll never find a bluer sky

Many miles away
Crossed the line of no return

When will the sun shine for you?
When will the stars align for you?

She's standing all alone
She weights her broken heart against a stone
Laughing as she's looking down
Broken nails from digging stony ground

Someone calls her name
She pales into the winter grey

This angry Winter scattered to the fray
In her fury, she blew the stars away
Angry Winter, we're waiting out the storm
Come the season after
The season of the swarm

10. Sisters Of The Dawn

What have we created here?
Asylum of hate and fear
Alone on a Godless sphere

Cry of the mutineer
A Satanic balladeer
Can we get out of here'

Spellbound
Dazed and hypnotized
By fire in the sky
Spellbound
Dazed and hypnotized
Deceiver in disguise

Fathers of creation
Sisters of the Dawn
Children of the Fallen
Children of the One

Yeah you've got your own free will
Your choice of the poison pill
Seen through the eye of a dollar bill
We're all part of the disrepair
Architects of our own nightmare
Little black book of common prayer

Spellbound
Dazed and hypnotized
By fire in the sky
Spellbound
Dazed and hypnotized
Deceiver in disguise

Fathers of creation
Sisters of the Dawn
Children of the Fallen
Children of the One

Drummed out through the gates
Don't know what awaits for me
Like the fall of Eden
I will take my mark

What the Hell we created here
Asylum of hate and fear
Anyone on a Godless sphere
Can we get out of here
We're the cause of our own despair
Pull the strings nobody cares
Architects of our disrepair
Dreamers of our own nightmare
Who's the man on the big TV
Sayin' "Everybody's gotta vote for me
Bow and serve so you'll be free"
You're waiting on the line
Waiting on the line
What the Hell we created here

11. In The Silence

In the silence an echo stirs
From 'cross the distance
To the Earth
Through countless oceans
Through and endless sky
Came crawling in a second skin
Crossed the line

We've been too long
Standing on this tone
This stepping stone

Forgotten angel
Here you have no throne
You've crossed the line
One last time
Now it's time to go
Back to the silence
Where you shall return
And from within our shedding skin
We re-emerge

We've been too long
Standing on this tone
This stepping stone

We've been too long
Standing on this tone
This stepping stone
