[Verse 1]
I am your very soul
The one you do not know
I am the truth that's playing hide and seek
And I will not be free
I cannot choose to be
Till my creator takes the chains off me

[Pre-Chorus]
All has come to nothing
All will burn in hell
Now the bridge has broken
All is overcome

[Chorus]
I crossed the shining seas
Eyes of creatures follow me
Moonlight guides us on a steady course
Afterglow of Ragnarok
Becomes the shadow of the dawn
From the night the sun will rise again, again

[Verse 2]
From me there’s no escape
No opening of the gate
Incarnate freedom just a hopeless dream
I read your silent mind
I feel your hate refine
And the burning will begin in the circle of lust

[Pre-Chorus]
All has come to nothing
Saved but you can't run
Now the bridge has broken
All is overcome

[Chorus]
I crossed the shining seas
Eyes of creatures follow me
Moonlight guides us on a steady course
Afterglow of Ragnarok
Becomes the shadow of the dawn
From the night the sun will rise again, again

[Bridge]
All has come to nothing
The world is only dust
Now the bridge is broken
There's a fire in the ice

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
All has come to nothing
All has burned in hell
Now the bridge has broken
[Chorus]
I crossed the shining seas
Eyes of creatures follow me
Moonlight guides us on a steady course
Afterglow of Ragnarok
Becomes the shadow of the dawn
From the night the sun will rise again, again

[Outro]
Afterglow of Ragnarok
Afterglow
Afterglow of Ragnarok
				

[Verse 1]
All things of love and beauty lost in clouds of fiery dust
Beneath the blood-red sky, the shifting sands will cover us
We drink the cup of secrets, dreaming of the afterlife
The sun begins its journey, taking us from day to night

[Pre-Chorus]
So where was God when I needed Him most?
What salvation is a Holy Ghost?
For what I've done, you can't blame me
I lived across the centuries

[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
I wear my thorny crown
I know them, oh, so well
The many opening doors to hell

[Verse 2]
I drink the cup of starlight, dreaming of the day to come
My fingers turn the pages of the Book of Life that's yet to come
My blood is thin, my body aches
To lie in Earth is still my fate
Eclipse will come to set me free
And for that moment, I can't wait

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm telling you now I will come again
With the knowledge from my secret realm
Share my treasure with humankind
Drink of me, lose your mind

[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
I wear my thorny crown
I know them, oh, so well
The many opening doors to hell
Prometheus unbound
Tears of desolation found
Believe the tales I tell
The many opening doors to hell

[Bridge]
Our life will leave us
With wounds so grievous
Human deceivers
I'm your soul retriever

[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
I wear my thorny crown
I know them, oh, so well
The many opening doors to hell
Prometheus unbound
Tears of desolation found
Believe the tales I tell
The many opening doors to hell
[Outro]
The many opening doors to hell
The many opening doors to hell
				

[Verse 1]
In a country churchyard, I came across a man
He smiled and slowly beckoned me with a trembling hand
Did you come to gamble or did you come to pray?
What's the meaning of your business here on a stormy day?
The raindrops spattered on the tomb from grey and leaden skies
Deny me once, deny me twice, don't look in my eyes

[Chorus]
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the gravеs
It's just rain, rain, rain
There is rain on the gravеs
But you came to be saved
There is rain on the graves
Let it wash your soul of dying

[Verse 2]
Faithless, he denied the truth that he had come to steal
To kneel before the poet, not the altar or the priest
He's washed himself in misery before he came to pray
He'd hoped in his false penitence, some sympathy he'd sway

[Chorus]
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
It's just rain, rain, rain
There is rain on the graves
But you came to be saved
There is rain on the graves
It's just rain, rain, rain

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I am the God of sinners, you are what I have made
You're talking to your likeness and my shadow is your shade
Stand up and face the mirror, it's the image that you crave
But I'll be here when you're long gone, I'll see you in that grave

[Chorus]
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
It's just rain, rain, rain
There is rain on the graves
Rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Rain on the graves
				

[Verse 1]
In the ascension come, we're poles apart
I am the wizard of your heart
Clear cell and a slice of blue
On a different Earth to be with you
We're starseed, our respirator
Breathing cosmic incubator
Innocent, translucent white
We are the children of the night

[Chorus]
We're resurrection men
At the point of death, we take you to the end
Resurrection men
Eternity has failеd you once again
Resurrection mеn
You've done the deal and so the story ends
Resurrection men

[Verse 2]
I rise from slumber, you call my name
Recall my number, my day of shame
Is death my future, my only life
Some deadly marriage, a barren wife?

[Verse 3]
So rise you demons, I live in Hell
I am connected to you as well
Some say we rob graves, in truth, we dig
My name is Lazarus, I raise the dead

[Bridge]
So rise, you spirits, rise
Show yourselves in the glass
Legion, tighten my grip on your soul
Summon your demons outside

[Chorus]
We're resurrection men
At the point of death we take you to the end
Resurrection men
Eternity has failed you once again
Resurrection men
You've done the deal and so the story ends
Resurrection men

[Outro]
Resurrection men
Resurrection men
				

[Verse 1]
It just takes a hero, you're standing in shadow
You walk in the shoes, with feet made of clay
So who is the sinner and who is the prophet?
The rules of the game that you’re gonna play

[Chorus]
So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that it's God
A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth
It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine

[Verse 2]
We all want to be you for a glimmer of hope
There's not enough gold at the end of your rope
And no one can hear you, your life is a zеro
You only can be what the peoplе they see

[Chorus]
So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that it’s God
A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth
It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Over and over
Over and over

[Chorus]
So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that it's God
A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth
It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine
So put your fingers in his wounds and pray that it's God
A roll of the dice for a piece of his cross
It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine
				

[Intro]
Here is the soul of a man
Here in this place for the taking
Clothed in white, stand in the light
Here is the soul of a man
Time to speak with the shaman again
Conjure the jester again
Black dog in the ruins is howling my name
So here is the soul of a man

[Verse]
When the world was virgin before the coming of men
Just a solar witness, the beginning of the end
From a world of magma to a cold rock face
The ascent of madness and a human race
Therе are strange beliеvers in all of us
There are stranger truths, immortal lust
The dark redeemer, he takes your hand
You sign the contract and lose your mind
Lose your mind

[Chorus]
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world, but eternity has failed
You're waiting in line for the ending of time, but eternity has failed
We are building a bridge so you people can live 'cause eternity has failed
Just a matter of time for my partner in crime and eternity has failed

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Reef in the sails at the edge of the world 'cause eternity has failed
You are waiting in line for the ending of time, but eternity has failed
We are building a bridge so you people can live 'cause eternity has failed
Just a matter of time for my partner in crime and eternity has failed
Reef in the sails at the edge of the world 'cause eternity has failed
You're waiting in line for the ending of time, but eternity has failed
Eternity has failed
Eternity has failed

[Outro]
Good day, my name is Necropolis
I am formed of the dead
				

[Verse 1]
Give me my freedom, release me from pain
Mistress of mercy, come thrill me again
Time to return to the world which I came
No more tomorrows, no judgement or blame

[Chorus]
I can be what I never was
Skeletons of fury 'cause my mind was lost
Far from the old ways, sleep of the awake
Lost in the harmony, the majesty, the ecstasy

[Verse 2]
Hunting down souls of the blackened and damned
Burnt from the future, who knows where I'll land?
I do believе there's a god in this world
For I can becomе what my science has learned

[Chorus]
I can be what I never was
Now that I am ready 'cause my mind is lost
Far from the old ways, sleep of the awake
Lost in the harmony, the majesty, the ecstasy

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I can be what I never was
Now that I am ready, now my mind is lost
Far from the old ways, sleep of the awake
Lost in the harmony, the majesty, the ecstasy

[Post-Chorus]
Another world, another life, an afterlife again
Lost in the ecstasy, the harmony, the majesty
				

[Verse 1]
I can read between the lines
When people sing along
I can see the innocence
The spirits in their heart
I drink to ease the pain
To dull this maddening roar
Oblivion again In a house that has no door

[Chorus]
Face in a mirror
It's a waiting game
Look at your face in the mirror
Does it look the same?
Look at your face in the mirror
It's a crying shape
Look at your face in the mirror
A waiting game

[Verse 2]
There are people all around
They're standing in the crowd
They are all looking down
At the fool on the ground
So welcome to my world
To the bottom of a glass
When I hold it I see through you
To the future of the past

[Chorus]
Face in a mirror
It's a waiting game
Look at your face in the mirror
Does it look the same?
Look at your face in the mirror
It's a crying shame
Look at your face
Look at your face
Look at your face

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I can't see paradise
Even though I live in hell
So don't look in my mirror
You might see yourself as well

[Chorus]
It's a face in a mirror
It's a waning name
Look at your face in a mirror
Does it look the same ?
When you stare into your eyes
It's a crying shape
Take a look at your face
Look at your face
Look at your face
Face in the mirror
It's a waning name
Take a look at your face In the mirror
Does it look the same
Take a look at that face In the mirror
It's a crying shape
Look at your face
Look at your face
Look at your face
				

[Verse 1]
And so we lay under the moon
The stars have crossed our paths tonight
So journey on, our wandering souls
Let our tears fall on our road
Against the sun, there are shapes in the fire
Around the stars are blue and grey

[Chorus]
Halos, forever
Into the light

[Verse 2]
A pathway, silvered and untold
A frozen river, a river of souls
Let your tears fall on the ice
In the shadow of the gods
Somewhere there is hope
In this heartless world, together
To come again on this new earth
Once more, forever, evermore

[Chorus]
Journey on
Beyond the stars
Our weary souls, the road is long
We live in shadows of the gods
The soundly homeland is not far

[Verse 3]
Absolute night, in absolute zero
The universe stops
A fetus in vitro
I have a river of souls on the foot
One drop creates the light
One drop will fill the night

[Bridge]
I need a necromancer, the science has no use
I need your skill to raise the veil
Sanctify release
A sacrifice at midnight
Do what must be done
I need your help to save them all
Save my only son

[Refrain]
This is my world, world of the dead
This is my life, world of the dead

[Verse 4]
Before a body had grown cold, you were there to steal its soul
Your son is dead, he told me so, I gave him peace, he is let go
So now a double threat unfolds and purgatory awaits
The travel head and hellhound fox had opened up the gates
[Verse 5]
Look at your life, world of the dead
This is your life, world of the dead
You have no life, world of the dead, world of the dead

[Outro]
We are part of the temple gates
Like the crucible again
We watch the phoenix rises in fire
Burning by the ritual flames
So lay me down in the shadow of the ghost
				

[Verse 1]
Here in this dark forest where nothing will live
I see the frozen eyes
Maybe something can be heard
Frozen raindrops hanging on the trees
Here in the dark forest
Where angels live and angels sleep
Herein my heart is raging
Again, again

[Chorus]
Save me now, save me now
Save me now, save me now
Save me from this pain, save me now
Save me now
And savе me, help me livе again, again

[Verse 2]
I'll walk into the halls of ice and thorns
Decaying frozen walls
I blame myself I was not here
For this king could have lost his crown
But still is your heartbeat
Your breath hangs frozen in the air
Some poisoned enchantment
Your beauty, it will not last

[Chorus]
You say, "Save me now, save me now"
Save me now, save me now
Save me from this pain, save me now
Bring me back
Save me now and help me live again

[Bridge]
The king returned and all was silent
The body of his frozen queen, tragic
The acolytes around her
Expressions of horror
Make me whole again
Bring back my queen
Make me whole again
And free the ice queen now
Come back to me
Come back to me

[Chorus]
Save me now, save me now
Save me now, save me now
Save me from my grave, save me now
Save me now
Help me, help me live again
[Post-Chorus]
He kissed her on the lips
And his tears, they melted the stiff, unyielding flesh
As his lips touched her last frozen breath
A strange light illumined her eyes
And the shadow of the valley of death

[Interlude]
He kissed her on the lips
And his tears melted the stiff unyielding flesh
As his lips touched her last frozen breath
A strange light illumined her eyes
And the shadow of the valley of death approached
And the king cried
"For I am damned, what have I done?"
And the ice queen shrieked as the angel of death appeared
"Who pays the price?" He laughed

[Refrain]
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart
For love has brought you here
And love will tear you apart
[Outro]
I will take you back
I'll take you back
Let me take you back
