CELESTIAL PROPHESY
------------------
verse 1:
uneasy gaze upon the sky sees
the rays of light that trace the night
the crystal sky a storm as souls seek
eternity of death divine
constellations that spiral in parallel
secret gateways to where restless spirits dwell
chorus:
Thunder and lightening
As worlds are converging
All fates entwined through one destiny
Pray to the dark ones enforcing
Celestial Prophesy
verse 2:
through starry guides the path is chosen
a vector to a point in time
where spirits dream the truth of knowledge
where death and logic shall align
strange and dark worlds that transcend the universe
meet the eye through the lens of divine rebirth
chorus:
Thunder and lightening
As worlds are converging
All fates entwined through one destiny
Pray to the dark ones enforcing
Celestial Prophesy
-------------
MARCH OF DOOM
-------------
verse 1:
In the prelight of dawn
I wait for the call
The unholy summons
Cross the desert sands
Where the souls of the damned
Invite me to join them
chorus:
March!
March of Doom!
Doomed To Die!
Die In Flames!
verse 2:
With my arms bound tight
My eyes robbed of light
They lead me onward
Where the onlookers wait
At the fiery stake
It beckons me closer
chorus:
March!
March of Doom!
Doomed To Die!
Die In Flames!
<solo>
chorus:
March! <march!>
March of Doom! <march!>
Doomed To Die! <march!>
Die In Flames!
March! <march!>
March of Doom! <march!>
Doomed To Die! <march!>
Die In Flames! <march!>

AGAINST THE GODS
----------------
verse 1:
It is written
Across the land the sun shall flee
A high king shall come
Astride a white horse shall he
Decree no longer will they praise
The lofty ones who make them slaves
chorus:
Against the gods they dare to stand
Waging their war across the land
verse 2:
In crimson rivers across the land
The blood shall stream
Battles raging on
The tides of war, a rising sea
The voice of reason gone insane
Cataclysm preordained
chorus:
Against the gods they dare to stand
In a war that has no end
verse 3:
It is written
Across the land the sun shall flee
The high king shall come
Awash in blood, an endless sea
When at midnight toll the bells
Battle on they shall toward hell
chorus:
Against the gods they dare to stand
Waging their war across the land
-------------------
THE DRAGON'S BREATH
-------------------
verse 1:
the toll of midnight is heard in the woods
the virgins dance round the flames
entranced and nakedly chanting the words
the incantation is made
risking their souls as they wake the beast
higher they stoke the flame
witness the specter of flesh in the night
in exultation upraised
verse 2:
the fire takes on a life of its own
unwholesome vapor is raised
faster and faster they dance in the woods
oblivious in their daze
the dragon hears from his distant plane
ungodly name of the beast
witness the raw fury of the untamed
a lord of hell is unleashed
chorus:
release your soul tonight
to dance with death
embrace the fiery glow
the dragon's breath
verse 3:
the conflagration consumes all the night
the maidens flee from the scene
the priestess conjures to hasten the spell
and bring the dragon at speed
across the plains hear his pinions beat
the terror of the land
ungodly overlord of the skies
the deity of the damned
chorus:
release your soul tonight
to dance with death
embrace the fiery glow
the dragon's breath
----------------
DIE BY THE SWORD
----------------
verse 1:
an evil ship I see
approaching from the western sea
the hopeful conquerer arrives
so take your sword in hand
prepare to make your final stand
and guard the homeland with your lives
chorus:
Better to die by the sword
Than to fall on your knees
Let them hear your scream
Better to go to your grave
Than a moment in chains
We won't take their disease
verse 2:
the infidel has come
to bring upon us martyrdom
or make us bow to their false god
so take your sharpest blade
and welcome them the viking way
we'll mount their heads upon a pole, yeah
chorus:
Better to die by the sword
Than to fall on your knees
Let them hear your scream
Better to go to your grave
Than a moment in chains
We won't take their disease
-----------
ENCHANTMENT
-----------
verse 1:
We lie in sleep, but yet we steal away
Our spirits roam the moonlit sky
I'll show you how to spawn your dreams awake
Awake, but still your soul can fly
chorus:
Break the Enchantment and speak the names
Only at your peril touch the flames
verse 2:
No sorcery can match the true extent
Of what you can achieve inside
Just come with me into the dreamscape
Awaken and your soul will fly
chorus:
Break the Enchantment and speak the names
Only at your peril touch the flames
bridge:
Legends walk the land
But only in dreams
And parallels
Keep the sacred fire
Burning within
Your heart of hearts
And your dreams
-----------------
SIGN OF THE TIMES
-----------------
verse 1:
an overflow of lies
the steady stream can hypnotise
until the masses cannot see
the way the greedy pay
to make them look the other way
illusions of democracy
chorus:
Seasons will change
But the lies stay the same
Reasons will fade
Still the times take the blame
verse 2:
the men above the law
elected to lie for us all
they're slowly bringing us all down
in cover-ups and leaks
and loopholes in their double-speak
the truth is nowhere to be found
chorus:
Seasons will change
But the lies stay the same
Reasons will fade
Still the times take the blame
------------
SACRED FLAME
------------
verse 1:
In recurring dreams, she haunts me
Worshipping her shadow
Behind the willow tree
Cold misty air
As the fog it flows right through me
Watching with the Devil
The heat of her flame it burns me
It burns
chorus:
She Holds The Sacred Flame
Under my soul
I'd burn just to hold her in my arms
She Holds onto the flame
Holds onto my soul
And I can't escape, can't escape her
verse 2:
In the moonlit night she calls me
Beckoning my shadow
To shade her while she sleeps
In the midnight air
Her scent intoxicates me
Reeling from her presence
To suffer her flame I'd gladly...
...burn
chorus:
She Holds The Sacred Flame
Under my soul
I'd burn just to hold her in my arms
Goddess of the sacred flame
She holds my soul
And I can't escape her enchantment
------------
STRANGE EYES
------------
verse 1:
Creature born back in the mists of time
Guardians of all that's pure
Deep in forest shade they seed our dreams
Shining with a strange allure
chorus:
Strange Eyes
Watching with wonder as the world goes by
Strange Eyes
Watching the future slowly crystalize
verse 2:
Creature born to set the balance right
Light to quell the evil dark
Galloping the moonlit glade at night
Magic horn points toward the stars
chorus:
Strange Eyes
Watching with wonder as the world goes by
Strange Eyes
Watching the future slowly crystalize
-----------
ONE DESTINY
-----------
verse 1:
Watching fate play its hand
At my expense
Hanging from my thin strand
Facing fate on my own
Reeling from
All my life
All my dreams
chorus:
Through ancient dreams
They call my soul
In harmony
They call
Spirits unseen
Raging for
One Destiny
verse 2:
When they ask what I seek
I know
They can feel my every thought
Now I wait for my turn
My last breath
Till my soul slips away
chorus:
Through ancient dreams
They call my soul
In harmony
They call
Spirits unseen
Raging for
One Destiny
