They've all been sown The murdered five men The killer still roams The horror kept within Six black horses Hooves of crushing might The carriage empty now Ghostly fog and moonlight Old Coachman Road Legend says the driver Dressed in a silken waistcoat Black cape and top hat He travels this old road His skull reflects the red of his demonic eyes His hollow shrieking laughter echoes through the night Old Coachman Road He was once the driver of the Lady Anna Belle of Salem Now he travels this old trail in service of his master For he loved the lady, but that night the wheels did shift Devil take the fog and carriage thrown into the ditch The coachman comes for him Who slew those fated five His journey to dark Hades Is scheduled for tonight

Ancestor 04:25
In a time not far from now Where the spirits are not bound By the cages made of flesh There is no sorrow there is no death These former things have passed away Where have you gone and left me here Your ancient wisdom I have revered Grandfather, honored sir One day we are rejoined Forever Ancestor Generations of rebirth Populated on this Earth Too many people to keep alive Too many humans to survive Ancestor You are my great and honoured ancestor

The most of us who propose the time to kill Those of us who know of a place that's real I know you know what that means It's your appearance that most of the time is misleading The truth is your face in the wake The wake is Your testament Your loss of innocence You'll never return to the freedom you once realized Your self deliverance Your right to conform You... why are you willing to put up with the pain that brings us to this? It's the ghost come back to haunt you Ignite the match that blows the bomb It's the moat that drowns the nations Bringing you dark I'm turning to tell you don't turn to me It's cause and effect to all the things that you do Helping yourself is just too much you're telling me It's real, it's real, it's free if you know what it means If you do what it takes to realize your dreams Those things, the sky is a luminous beauty that's never been thought to be real Forever old I've seen it before Suffer no more It's you who opens the door We have the key though it's got to be seen Free I can see this is going to... look and you'll find it's for all of us It's real, real as the blood that drips in my veins It's free, you see Know this urgency I've seen it before Move to the highest ground You're dying to live is leaving you suffering Now you've got this matter of hope It's this turbulence left to present you

Night has fallen Dark fills my mind The night has risen This is my time Hark can't you hear the dogs as they sing? The song of our twilight Black Evening Alone within oblivion This is my love To never feel the sun Beloved shadow Your silky touch Excites my senses The moon above The branches swaying The cool midnight breeze The song of our twilight Black Evening Moonlight in paradise The shadows of forever My soul enlightened Drenched in the spirit of the night

Burn Witch 03:32
And what do we do with witches? We burn them! Burn witch You must burn The clouds in the sky just drift by The moonlight's trace -- a smile on her face Burn witch You must burn Burn witch burn Burn witch You must burn Gathered in scorn one twice born Looks in her eyes Shudders as she cries She dancing with the devil Walking on a razor's edge Screaming in the firelight Nobody helps her Taken by an evil force Trying to possess the girl From beyond the grave The Haunting of Morella Darkened thought and doings ultimately ruining Many lives of children thrown into the cauldren Consistently rebellious Never stop to count the cost Now the only way to learn is to make the witches burn The sword of Michael cuts you down From your infernal flight you fall Your future home within the gound This night we'll see you burn Burn witch You must burn Burn witch burn Burn witch You must burn Gathered in scorn one twice born Looks in her eyes Shudders as she cries

Smother 04:59
Another youth that we can twist We'll threaten her to cease to exist She's powerless to resist And from our fouled lips... a kiss Row upon row of those who failed to escape Victims of wage slavery rape All the shining beauty we keep covered All the good things we smother Too many dreams of happiness We'll fill her with emptiness Make her a slave and tell the lie of familial bliss Row upon row of those who failed to escape Victims of wage slavery rape All the shining beauty we keep covered All the good things we smother It doesn't matter what you do You can't escape what is inside you The hiding place that you run to Is no protection I am beside you It's time to go to your hell To your work your prison cell The lies you tell to yourself And your soul you sell Row upon row of those who failed to escape Victims of wage slavery rape All the shining beauty we keep covered All the good things we smother

Initiate, learn by doing Overcoming pain though denial The idiots who control resources Who never understand Worthless and vile Smashes their faces inside out Sleepless hunger never satisfied Moving as a dream a formless hate Killing using media with style The faces of death are familiar You already know their name Mercy for what you have become Life, the waiting game Who controls who submits Unable to coexist Small-minded fools attempt their bull Like the putrid fascist fools Anomaly exception to the rule No way out until they die You are beyond control Stubbornly refuse to never try

The End 04:53
What good is a life without hope Seen through your eyes memories alone What use is a world to be lost To learn and to grow then torn apart Struck by the horror Hopeless and alone Desperately wishing We are sown All of these things loved and cherished Depended upon soon gone Senses and thoughts humor and deceit In the end we cease Struck by the horror Hopeless and alone Desperately wishing We are sown (super crazy badass guitar solo) Struck by the horror Hopeless and alone Desperately wishing We are sown
9.
Your vision of a child god Is incorrect A being with unlimited power But childlike emotional development To think that God might not have seen This computer age And cloning technology You misunderstand In your infantile mind The true nature Of the One most high And what about creation The coming into being Of something that had never Never existed before The day will come When science and religion Will meet as if they had been forged From the same mighty anvil You misunderstand In your infantile mind The true nature Of the One most high Boom Music and art Flow like a river From the infinite mind Of the benevolent giver You misunderstand In your infantile mind The true nature Of the One most high
