1. Predator

Uncertain predators, unblinking eyes
Testing for resistance, waiting for the prey now
Soon to leave helpless then he will strike
Faltering victim will die

Wait, waiting for the flight of life
Falling, and plunder the prize
Teeth and claws separate the living flesh from the bones
Wait, waiting for the flight of life
Falling, and plunder the prize
No compassion predators will show

Patiently, interminably
Waiting, unseen
Dead eyes flicking in hungry sockets, a secret strategy
Immediate attack, a rush from the sky
Useless desperate cry

Wait, waiting for the flight of life
Falling, and plunder the prize
Teeth and claws separate the living flesh from the bones
Wait, waiting for the flight of life
Falling, and plunder the prize
No compassion predators will show



2. Powermad

With a deadly glow in my eyes
I release the force from me
With the power running in my veins
The ruler I was born to be
You´ve been too long and ignored me
Now you will see, `cause

I´m mad by this power
Powermad
I can´t live without it
Powermad
My senses are screaming
Powermad
Lifetime is fading too fast
Powermad

They lock me in with my power
I warned them several times
The throne I´m going to take over
They´ll see my power rise
I´ll see them crawling at my feet
The reign is finally mine, `cause

I´m mad by this power
Powermad
I can´t live without it
Powermad
My senses are screaming
Powermad
Lifetime is fading too fast
Powermad
[Repeat verse]



3. The Day After

Smell of death - insanity
Humans die by the evil disease
Burning flesh - ceremony
Graves full of bodies everywhere I see

Destruction - death goes on
Plague just can´t be stopped

Streams of blood, you´re throwing up
Flowing through the fallen city
Skulls and bones, you scream and shout
The nightmare goes on the end´s not a show

Destruction - death goes on
Plague just can´t be stopped

Mist falls, smoke rise
There´s no judgement, there´s no law
No one can save this world
The first marks of death make you fall

Destruction - death goes on
Plague spreads on and on



4. Black Dawn

Black flags of death is all I see outbursts of anger
Dissatisfaction, bitterness the mankind´s cancer
Too late to appeal noble feelings, they rose again to kill
With hatred and anger their minds are now filled

Prophecy, realization, loss of life
Malnutrition, misery, hear the children cry
Death
Deep in their eyes
Kill
Enemy soon cries
In pain
The final battle´s on
Make my prophecy to become true my devilish son

Persecution, hostility, miserable world
Enstrangement, manipulation, deliverance calls
Done in again, unfaith they seed
Fertile soil tortured under their feet

Prophecy, realization, loss of life
Malnutrition, misery, hear the children cry
Death
Deep in their eyes
Kill
Enemy soon cries
In pain
The final battle´s on
Make my prophecy to become true my devilish son

Eternity, someone said it would take
Lust to prove, that his sayings were fake
Sight of blood, you served us well
Go back again into your fucking shell

Prophecy, realization, loss of life
Malnutrition, misery, hear the children cry
Death
Deep in their eyes
Kill
Enemy soon cries
In pain
The final battle´s on
Make my prophecy to become true my devilish son



5. Last Respects



6. Beyond The Wall

Follow me, beyond the wall of sleep
I´ll show you something that you´ve never seen
Do you know the life you lead is a lie
So won´t you come and see the world through my eyes

Beyond the wall of your sleep
You try to open your eyes but you´re too blind to see
Beyond the wall of your sanity
There I´ll be waiting for me

Dwelling in a state of uncertainty
What do the bloodstains on my hands mean
Don´t accuse me of things you can´t realize
His soul won´t be free until his body dies

Beyond the wall of your sleep
You try to open your eyes but you´re too blind to see
Beyond the wall of your sanity
There I´ll be waiting for me

Beyond the Wall...



7. City Of Silence

Home again from night-shift
A restless night ahead of me
Things that crawl at night
Are once again calling me
I saw it all in a dream last night
Crawling mindless upon the shore
City made of stone
A tenebrous throne of ancient gods

Once in time the silence fell
On the city´s walls
And all the true believers turned to stone
The blackness came to guard the fire
That gleamed deep in their eyes
The eyes that soon shall fall upon me
Late at night

Is there no-one to follow me, a secret hero so brave
So, I leave you message my son, dig me no grave
Murder of sanity and death was my prize
There´s no-one left outside to hear my cries

Let me out of here...

They were, they are, they shall remain long after they have devoured us
They were, they are, they shall remain long after they have devoured us

No-one to go through these dark gates
No-one to come back alive
No-one to see these evil things
Without losing his soul and his mind
And after all what was there to find but terrible, agonizing death
Dreams of power and fortune
Respect, knowledge and fame
Nothing could I find

Is there no-one to follow me, a secret hero so brave
So, I leave you message my son, dig me no grave
Murder of sanity and death was my prize
There´s no-one left outside to hear my cries



8. Hunter In The Dark

Horror creeps into my mind
Other worlds I see
A silent invitation of this haunter
Something evil breaks its way through the dark of night
Lightning fire in its eyes
The haunter in the night

The haunter in the night
Tortures my mind

Have no memory, no longer name
No sense of sight
I don´t even know what I´m afraid of
These illusions in my eyes
Left by lightning strokes
It knows my name it knows this place
It´s everywhere in this space

The haunter in the night
Tortures my mind

Am I nuts or only going insane
I am it and it´s me
Far is near and near is far
Awful stench of decay
I can´t see difference between distances
Wait, now I see things clear



9. Withered

No more to run free
You´ve been deceived
And blinded to the dark chains of black and deadly dream
So, bow and praise me
Serve blood offerings
In return I will give you pain, the endless agony
Once you had seen it
No use to hide
The faint image of your past life
So struggle in my fangs
The truth I withhold, you´re withered

Shivering
The cold wind of death
Suspicious
Lays like a cold hand on you
Subsistence
For you is pure pain
You wish your life was through

Prevarication´s my game
Salvation´s my name
And when you try to reach my hand suddenly I´m gone
Brought to this trial
Found guilty from the start
I´ll be there laughing you when they tear your coprse apart
The nightmare never ends
You can´t prevail
The faint image of your past life
So struggle in my fangs
The truth I withhold, you´re withered

Shivering
The cold wind of death
Suspicious
Lays like a cold hand on you
Subsistence
For you is pure pain
You wish your life was through
[Repeat verse]
