Kaisarion |
[Verse 1]
Kaisarion, a prophecy told
We're building our empire from the ashes of an old
Kaisarion, the fruit of the womb
Our brotherhood of good faith sealed an apostate witch's doom
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the sound of another deadline whistling past your ears
It's the sight of a million regrets mounting over years
It's the words that were never spoken that echoes through the times
It's the smell of the burning temples swept away by rhymes
[Chorus]
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...
[Verse 2]
Kaisarion, a matter of love
When Mother Earth is calling for a father up above
Kaisarion, put on the smiles
And throw your holy rocks right at her for her satanic wiles
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the truth of candor shone through the prism of deceit
It's the continence of bishops with their choirboys en-suite
It's the tongue selling adulation that licks to no avail
It's the noise of the righteous dogma that hides the handmaid's tail
[Chorus]
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...
[Bridge]
It's the sound of another deadline whistling past your ears
It's the sight of a million regrets mounting over years
It's the words that were never spoken that echoes through the times

It's the continence of bishops with their choirboys en-suite
It's the tongue selling adulation that licks to no avail
It's the noise of the righteous dogma that hides the handmaid's tail
[Chorus]
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...
(Hypatia) Far away from the stench of the heavens
(Hypatia) Long ago, yet too close to forever
(Hypatia) When a paradise is lost, go straight to...

Rats |
[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
In times of turmoil
In times like these
Beliefs contagious
Spreading disease
This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls
Never to let go
Never to let go
[Refrain: Cardinal Copia]
Them rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
Into your sanctum
You let them in
Now all your loved ones
And all your kin
Will suffer punishments beneath the wrath of God
Never to forgive
Never to forgive
[Refrain: Cardinal Copia]
Them rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)
Rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)
Rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)
Rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)

Faith |
[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
There is a scourge in the guise of sanctity
A perpetrator with a quill
Although it's...
Not perceived and although it's not mystery
The accuser sends the bill
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall
[Post-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Because faith is mine!
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
The Luddites shun the diabolical
A fecal trail across the land
Although it...
Stinks, feels and looks identical
And a pack of fools can take the stand
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall
[Post-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Because faith is mine!
[Solo: Nameless Ghouls (Fire & Aether)]
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall
[Post-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Because faith is mine!

Spillways |
[Verse 1]
Through benediction
You tried to rid your mind
Of malediction
But through all this time
You try to peel it off
And it is such a ride
Your desolation
Led you into this
Vile incarnation
Of consummated bliss
I know you need it now
To make you feel alive
[Chorus]
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning, yearning need to bleed
Through the Spillways...
[Verse 2]
You keep a casket
Buried deep within
You try to mask it
But fall back in sin
You want to shake it off
But you are stuck inside
When stripped of rags
Of skin and spine
Human decay
Corpus Dei
Terminally dispelled
And it is such a ride
[Chorus]
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith
All your rage
All your pain
It ain't ov¿r now
It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning, y¿arning need to bleed
Through the Spillways
Through the Spillways of your soul
Through the Spillways...
[Guitar solo]
It is the cruel beast that you feed
It is your burning, yearning need to bleed
Through the Spillways
Through the Spillways of your soul
Through the Spillways
Through the Spillways of your soul
Through the Spillways
Through the Spillways of your soul
Through the Spillways
Through the Spillways of your soul

Cirice |
I feel your presence amongst us
You cannot hide in the darkness
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that's calling?
I know your soul is not tainted
Even though you've been told so
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that's calling?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
(2x)
A candle casting a faith to whom
You and I see eye to eye
Can you hear the thunder?
How can you hear the thunder that's breaking?
Now there is nothing between us
From now our merge is eternal
Can't you see that you're lost?
Can't you see that you're lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
(2x)
(Solo)
Can't you see that you're lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
(4x)

Absolution |
Ever since you were born you've been dying
Every day a little more you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As a child, with your mind on the horizon
All the vultures, even prizes you keep your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find there in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Even now when you're here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
And you're still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find there in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution

Call Me Little Sunshine |
Call out in the middle of the night
For when else would I hear you?
Fall out in the cold starlight
I can save you if you do
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
Light up in the middle of the day
For how else could you see me?
Ease up to the hunter from the pr¿y
And transform indefinitely
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
{solo}
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Even when you're dead and gone
You can always reach me
All you gotta do is call me
Call me...
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Call me Little Sunshine

Evilutionary the optics for us

Communication is key
When you unlock to believe
Can you see what I see?
[Chorus]

The caleidoscopian visions we have seen
Tell of bloodlines of top notch
The predestinated will dispatch
While your realm has rotted on our watch

If You Have ghosts |
Roky Ericksons's song |
If you have ghosts then you have everything
If you have ghosts then you have everything
You can say anything you want
And you can do anything you want
If you have ghosts then you have everything
Wine never does that
Wine never does that
If you call it, surprised where it is
The moon to the left of me
Is a part of my thoughts
Is a part of me
Is me
Wine never does that
In the night I am real
In the night I am real
The moon to the left of me
Is a part of my thoughts
Is a part of me
Is me
Forever is the wind
Is a part of my thoughts
Is a part of me
Is me
In the night I am real
I don't want my fangs too long
I don't want my fangs too long
The moon to the left of me
Is a part of my thoughts
Is a part of me
Is me
Forever is the wind
Is a part of my thoughts
Is a part of me
Is me
I don't want my fangs too long
If you have ghosts then you have everything
If you have ghosts then you have everything
If you have ghosts then you have everything
If you have ghosts then you have everything

Listen up, hatchet man
Set controls for the heart of the land

Apparition (Apparition)
Direct the course for collision (Grow)
Suspicion (Suspicion)
For the Reich to come to fruition

Mary On A Cross |
We were speeding together
Down the dark avenues
But besides all the stardom
All we got was blues
But through all the sorrow
We've been riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go
We were scanning the cities
Rocking to pay their dues
But besides all the glamor
All we got was bruised
But through all the sorrow
We've been riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go
You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me
I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that
We were searching for reasons
To play by the rules
But we quickly found out
It was just for fools
Now through all the sorrow
We'll be riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go
You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a...
You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Your beauty never, ever scared me
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me
I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
(Mary on a) Mary on a cross

Respite On The Spitalfields |
[Verse 1]
We are here in the after
Of a murderous crafter
The past...
Is spun like a yarn and mangled
With flesh and blood and bones
I wonder
Did no one here the distant thunder?
[Verse 2]
The autumnal reaper
The stains of this creeper
...Will last
The shine and the sham entangled
Like salting earth with tears of Jesus
He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces
[Pre-Chorus]
For the dreams that you dread
Can b¿come just as real
As the blood that was sh¿d
With the slash of his steel
Now the street walking dead
Was quite a scene, wasn't it?
For the lost and mislead
Were promised seats by the pit
[Chorus]
We will break away together
I will be the shadow
You will be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
We are leaving this city
So this is farewell
Goodbye Seven Sisters
And Saint Jezebel
The moon in the gutter
Has a story to tell
One day he will come back
From the bowels of hell
[Pre-Chorus]
He appeared to ascend
So we all stood there in awe
Now we have to pretend
We did not see what we saw
When the curtain unveiled
To the sound of applause
For the king that we hailed
Was the Wizard of Oz
[Chorus]
We will break away together
I will be the shadow
You will be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night

Kiss The Go-Goat |
Hey, baby
Kiss the goat
Oh-oh-oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat
You've been playing
Around the magic that is black
But all the powerful magical mysteries
Never gave a single thing back
You've been daddied
By all the dudes that wanna dad
And all those dads never gave you
The things that you should've had
It ain't always what it seems
When you cling onto a dream
It ain't always there to please you
But he's the guy you wanna do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too
Satan
Lucifer
Osculum obscenum
Hey, baby!
Kiss the goat
Oh-oh-oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat
Hey, baby!
Hey, hey, hey!
Kiss the goat
Oh-oh-oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat
It ain't always what it seems
That glitter wasn't gold
As opposed to what they told you
But he's the guy you wanna do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too
Satan
Lucifer
Osculum obscenum
It ain't always what it seems
When you cling onto a dream
It ain't always there to please you
But he's the guy you wanna do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too
Satan
Lucifer
Osculum obscenum

Dance Macabre |
[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
You'll soon be hearing the chime
Close to midnight
If I could turn back the time
I'd make all right
[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
How could it end like this?
There's a sting in the way you kiss me
Something within your eyes
Said it could be the last time
'Fore it's over!
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
It keeps on giving me chills
But I know now
I feel the closer we get
To the last vow
[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I don't wanna end like this (Like this, yeah)
But the sting in the way you kiss me (I'm loving it)
Something within your eyes
Said it could be the last time
'Fore it's over!
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you, one last time in the ancient rhyme
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
[Solo: Nameless Ghouls (Fire & Aether)]
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you all right
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
[Outro]
All right!
Woh-woh-woh, wohh!

Square Hammer |
[Verse 1]
Living in the night
'Neath devils torn asunder
You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme
As I'm closing in
Imposing on your slumber
You call on me as bells begin to chime
[Chorus]
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
[Verse 2]
Hiding from the light
Sacrificing nothing
Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine
Hammering the nails
Into a sacred coffin
You call on me for powers clandestine
[Chorus]
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
[Chorus]
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now

The future is a foreign land |
15 years from now, I know it feels remote
But picture it somehow in your head
It's 1984
And knocking on your door is the Brownshirt Stasi guard
Boom, you're gone
And in the blood of the Kennedys
The good ones get shot
And in the absence of sympathies
Won't you hear me out?
When it all burns down
When it all burns down
I will hold you close for the minute
Yeah, I'll hold you for the minute it takes
55 years from now, I know it sounds insane
The dark fascist regime might be gone (might be gone)
Oh, if you by then have forgiven me
When push comes to shove
We don't have to be enemies
Won't you hear me out?
When it all burns down
When it all burns down
I will hold you close for the minute
For the minute
When it all burns down
And the flames devour everything that we are
I will hold you for the minute
I will hold you for the minute it takes
With these words at hand
The future is a foreign land
So let us pray for more in 2024
(2024) we could grow old together
(2024) we could love one another
(2024) and there will from then be peace forevermore (forever)
Peace forevermore (and forever)
But if it all burns down
If it all burns down
I will hold you close for the minute
For the minute
If it all burns down
And the flames devour everything that we are
I will hold you for the minute
I will hold you for the minute it takes
