I Am 05:09
I lie here all alone It’s a shameful sight The hurt that holds me down Might just start my life Through the thrills of fear In a rush of pain I am Laughing through my tears I might just understand Who I am Through the thrills of fear In a rush of pain I need the threat you give It’s what drives me on The chains that I can break It’s what makes me strong Through the thrills of fear In a rush of pain I am Laughing through my tears I might just understand Who I am Through the thrills of fear In a rush of pain It’s time to do or die There’s no in-between I’m punching for the skies Bring to life my dreams Through the thrills of fear In a rush of pain I am Laughing through my tears I might just understand Who I am Through the thrills of fear In a rush of pain I am Laughing through my tears I might just understand Who I am

Shoot! 05:14
Dark, everything’s dark A pain, inside My blood, gushing from every vein Your deed, unreal But now, now that I’m gone I’ll waste, your life I’ll haunt, haunt you down On my playground I’ll mess up your brain I’ll drive you insane Shoot – You’d wish you were dead Shoot – you’d blow off your head Bang – you’re shedding your tears Shoot – but I’ll keep you here Friends, you said we were friends Then this, betrayal I’ll lust every moment I Keep you alive I’ll mess up your brain I’ll drive you insane Shoot – You’d wish you were dead Shoot – you’d blow off your head Bang – you’re shedding your tears Shoot – but I’ll keep you here Shoot – You’d wish you were dead Shoot – you’d blow off your head Bang – you’re shedding your tears Shoot – but I’ll keep you here

Audi vocem tuam interiorem Audire potes echo maiorum tuorum? Omnes sunt in parte tua, ut te doceat In tuis cogitationibus, iudiciis et actionibus Voces eorum audi et ad cor tuum eas serva Let’s raise a toast to the dead, Lest we forget what they said We'll raise a glass to the dead And we'll remember what they said Though they are long forgotten now I hear their words inside somehow Yes, they are long abandoned now But I know what they’ve said The echoes of the past, all over I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover Just raise your hand to your heart It’s where it ends, where it starts Just close your eyes, touch your heart Embrace this ancient natural art You will be long forgotten, gone But things you’ve said and things you’ve done Will echo down and linger on It’s simple, it’s plain The echoes of the past, all over I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover The echo of my past The echoes of the past, all over I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover The echoes of the past, all over I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover The echoes of the past, all over I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover The echoes of my past All over I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover

Come to us We’ll treat you better than them Join us now And learn to fight like a man The day of reckoning draws nigh They’ve just unchained all the tigers They give you truth served by liars Taste my blood Rejuvenation is yours Eat my flesh Bow to my heavenly force We’ll cleanse those sinful of tribes They’ve just unchained all the tigers They keep on changing the rules They give you truth served by liars And you will play the fool We must abandon our silence And speak our point of view Let’s finish their so called guidance And set the world anew They’ve just unchained all the tigers They keep on changing the rules They give you truth served by liars And you will play the fool They’ve just unchained all the tigers

Age of Man 08:09
In the ancient fragments of The legend you've been told A man with a hair of silver Met a girl with a hair of gold Remember how they spun their love To a fabric strong as steel And with a wave of hands That cloth began to breathe In the oldest hymns that Our elders still recite That cloth took human form Our lineage sprung to life As the gods came running To this carnival of souls A boy came forth Protected by his horde Hey – the fight has begun Hey – we'll follow our son The rising of kings, the binding of rings That make men stay together Together as one, to fight the storm The shadows of gods that fall over men Let's bring out the light and then We'll celebrate rising of the kings In the age of sayings There is wisdom to be found So gather by the fire here And let the elders have their time Let them teach the young ones To take heed in gods that crave For our submission to The plans that they call faith Let them see the light in Our king that we still praise And show them how to pay Respect in every way Let the solemn grandeur Of our founder be the guide Or let them rot in hell As traitors to our tribe The rising of kings, the crafting of rings That make men stay together Together as one, to fight the storm The shadows of gods that fall over men Let's bring out the light and then We'll celebrate rising of the kings Behold in the far, a rising star It points us the way we just have to go now No – running away No – getting away No – getting away The rising of kings, the binding of rings Together as one, to fight the storm The shadows of gods that fall over men We celebrate rising of the kings The rising of kings, the forging of rings That make men stay together Together as one, to fight the storm The shadows of gods that fall over men Let's bring out the light and then We'll celebrate rising of the kings, And so, we're letting the age of man begin

The Queen's Tiara Frozen moment, the queen's tiara Is falling off, it's her sayonara The king's beheaded, the land in turmoil The dissidents, get smeared in night soil While I'm watching from behind While I'm pulling strings in their mind And when the last one is all sorted out That's when I have it in my hands And I'll be sending my commands I am the new king of this land Condemned for treason, no need for trials I wind them up, at stakes, at pyres The people slander, they eat their hearts out To stop them whining I cut their head short I'm watching all their moves While I'm spinning threads in the gloom And when the last one is all sorted out That's when I have it in my hands And I'll be sending my commands I am the new king of this land Rejoice, I'm your king Drink, fuck and sing Just show your love 'Cause I'm your saviour, the one Fight for my throne Blood, broken bones Just pay the price, for freedom Frozen moment, my heart is pounding I look around, I stand surrounded The mob has turned on their rightful master I cannot hide, I'll meet my fate here And when the last light goes dim for my eyes I see a shadow behind all the lies That's when I know I've been deceived How could I possibly believe That they were lying through their creed Weep for your king Drink, mourn and sing Just show your love As I'm your saviour, the one Lay down your lives Punish the vice Just pay the price, for freedom Lay down your lives Punish the vice Just pay the price, for freedom

Secretly 06:15
Say Just say the words I want from thee As long as your lips set me free I’m paying the price Feel It’s all forbidden, can’t you see You have this power over me Will you touch my fire? God knows I’m a slave at your command Here goes Pain is pleasure once again So close If I reach out I’d touch your hand How long If I could come you’d stop my pain Chained Unlock the shackles round my heart Your skin so close would be a start Let me look in your eyes Man I’m not the man I’d like to be Although I’m missing part of me With you I’m alive God knows I’m a slave at your command Here goes Pain is pleasure once again So close If I reach out I’d touch your hand How long If I could come you’d stop my pain I know I’m a slave to your command Down low I’d give it all to be a man Get close If you reach out, you’d touch my hand One dose Please cross the boundaries where we stand

Roll the dice Don’t look for an alibi Don’t act like a passer-by You’d better give it a try Lose yourself Sometimes that’s the only way Don’t stop at your second best You’re the star of your life Let every moment count A deadly race from the start But we got play in our hearts, so Some die young, heading for the setting sun We’re running straight towards our graves While singing heaven can wait, but Some die young, they won’t even know they’re gone Move your ass Nothing gonna change unless You put your knuckles to the test And give it a go So cut your lifeline Stretch your lifespan Chop your down-time Just let it roll Let every second count A deadly race from the start But we got play in our hearts, so Some die young, heading for the setting sun We’re running straight towards our graves While singing heaven can wait, but Some die young, they won’t even know they’re gone We’re singing heaven can wait But some die young A deadly race from the start But we got play in our hearts, so Some die young, heading for the setting sun We’re running straight towards our graves While singing heaven can wait, but Some die young, they won’t even know they’re gone Some die young Some die young Some die young Some die young

Dream On 06:22
Come to sleep my little puppet Come and let me feed on you Tonight, all night Bow your head, I’ll slit your throat again I see through your pretence Dream on – dream on Gently stroking your hair golden Sapping your juice, bitter-sweet Tonight, all night Are you fighting to escape Let’s pretend you are awake Dream on, dream on Dream on – you are mine, so stay for a while I will lead you in the dance consummating our romance Dream on, dream on Dream on – you are mine, so stay for a while Dream on – you are mine, just give us a smile Dream on – you are mine, so stay for a while
