MISGUIDING YOUR LIFE

A dawn on the run, nowhere to hide in a life of

corruption, insanity has won,I'm living in hate

And preaching destruction

I'm screaming tonight, my vengeance

To fight has killed all morality

The cries of the toll and madness control

And liberate my energy - Axe to the wax!

Misguidin' your life, you'll reach

the empire of sadness

I will be rife, driven by insanity and hate

Misguidin' your life, you'll reach

The empire of sadness

I will be rife, driven by insanity

Lunacy and rage are raving in my head, reign

Back to back, c'mon be my slave, the beauty

In your face will be fading to black

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

KEY TO MY FATE

Am I totally blind this time when I'm dreamin'

The dreams that I fear, some call it nightmare

And some call it life, what is the sense of

Existing in here

And I think of the sadness when I'm dreamin' of

Leavin' the pain I don't get all that madness

And it drives me insane

Now hear me cry, I'm in quest

Of the key to my fate

I might be nigh to the key

In the abyss of hate

Annihilation in my brain

What is the price that we will be to pay

When will you lift our little poor souls

When will you take us oh lord away

Oh when will we die

Why to suffer to stand up right

We are victims of time

We have to fight till the end is in sight

What's the reason to carry on

What's the reason to fall

After days of living hall

After we had to crawl,

Are we totally blind this time

Can't you tell me the nexus of freedom

And pain and desires and hate

And even the holy ones

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

SANDS OF TIME

Seasons come and seasons go

Here I wait for something to be

Try to get as much as I can see

Hungry for life

But have you seen the sands of time?

Every day is a moment in past

Every heartbeat a step to my last

I won't survive

I don't know what time is mede to be

If it's a friend or enemy or does it only run

Run to set an end

Secrets of a crazy dream or just a bad

Reality, I don't know

Do you feel the sands of time?

Runnin' low to break the line

First we learn to fly, then we learn to cry

later in the evening we will die

Questions roamin' thru my brain

I'll be leavin' into a grave

I'll be dead or my soul will be safe

for a time called forever

All the seasons will have been gone

There'll be times that you will forget

My name and the words that I've said

Then my time will be over

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

SACRED HELL

Ravens in the air, none in the streets

Seems like the fiend he must be back

Riding on his horse but also flying in the air

Love has just started to crack - ow

Whiplash and torture, falseness and pain

Envy is driving our hate

Everything out there is mad and confused

Till we'll be able to seal each others fate

Staring through eyes of hate and able to kill

We don't realize we've been given our own

Fuckin' will, like animals humans don't think

Don't look for a reason, we hate no style

We put the blame on the demon

Sacred hell, sacred hell

There is nothing but names on the wall

You can be free, you can reach tomorrow

Sacred hell, sacred hell

So the fiend must be back on our ball

Lose all your sins, lose all your sorrows

No lucid intervals, no people who guide

But a 1000 Masters of disguise

Eternal damnation 'cause humans they hide

They think that satan shall rise

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

EYES OF THE TYRANT

In the eyes of the mighty domain and its evil

Doctrines, there is no trace of romance

But fears that grow

No one can watch his next into the eyes

You killed the poetry of mine

A long time ago - NOW

How many times have you given me rage

when your words were mendacious

And your laughter insane, how many times

have you written lampoons about my life

And desires, about my pleasure in pain

I bare my fangs to you, look at my face and

You'll stare into my mind and you'll watch

The eyes of a tryant - eyes of a night

The eyes of a tryant - eyes of a night

Back from the hades, into the daylight

Back from the hades, into the daylight

King of tonight, tell me what should I do

Should I die in glory, should I raise my fist

The crime of my deeds is the frolic I need

I won't die on my knees, I will kill to resist

The chagrin of the damned cries the tears of r

Romance, love of uprightness take me now

The empire of the sad, the empire of the mad

My feelings were killed so long ago

Yeah, we are eternal, we are immortal

There is a trace of glory in our hands

Majestic and wild, we stand and we fight

Soon your blackened pride will be fading away

You'll realize you'll have been walking astray

Never tame the wicked, I'm a tyrant tonight

Back from the hades, into the light

Back from the hate into...

Uh, now here we go

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

FROZEN CANDLE

Crying on the pyre, feelin' oh so strange

When you took my mind to deteriorate, told

Me that you liked me, atrocious and deterrent

Lies, you showed me how it is to suffer hate

Celebrate my funeral, vultures on my corpse

Ashes to ashes, me to hell, you think I could

Be dug alive, but you never knew, your just

Too deaf to hear my forces yell

All your mind is full of hate, you hold the link

To seal my fate, I stare into the light

Now you'll try to burn me, inquisition in our

Time, but I'll tell you what I am

CHORUS

Burning like a frozen candle

Burning like a frozen candle

I can still remember when you called the reaper

Told him how to unlock my door, sleepers

Nights, evil dreams, faces in the window

Voices that I've never heard before

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Jens Ludwig]

ROSES TO NO ONE

I'm feeling this time as bad as never before

A bleeding wag is fading away

Once you needed me for spending delight

Below the funny mask there's a crying face

The way that I smile is the way that I cry

But you'll never realize

My reputation is the one of a fool

Now watch like a poet dies, feel his cries

And I dedicate my roses to no one

Cause there is no mind to help me to see

A reason we need, a light for the lonesome

and no one to drink the blood that I bleed

The poet in my own wasn't given some

Chances and from that moment on

I lived apart, and I realized that I am my

Best friend and not those parasites

That try to stare into my heart

The way that I feel is the way that I heal

My body and my soul and my life

And I know you just think I'm a fool

Now watch like a poet flies, watch him rise

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet and Jens Ludwig]

POWER AND MAJESTY

(I am a) sacred king in a sacred kingdom

You know me just as royalty

Lookin' kind so you don't see

I wanna steal your virginity

I was born to feign an angel

The evil knows just bow to hide

I sold my soul only to rise

To build up powers that you can't fight

Watch me standing proudly

`til I wake the animal

At night we bite we fight

We are power and majesty

At night we bite we fight

We are power and majesty

I am a master of disguise

And hate to be your marionette

And I won't care if you'll be hangin'

Shut fuckin' up and be my bed

I am a reckless animal

Spitting out a sacred lie

`til you know my pervsity

Is to "play" and kill and finally die

"Hey baby, I wanna excuse me for

My bad habits, close your eyes

I've got a present for you

[TOBIAS SammeT & Jens Ludwig]
