The Old Coachman Road
02:25
|
|||
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

Right to Life
02:13
|

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

Black Evening
03:21
|
|||
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

The Waiting Game
02:53
|
|||
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

The One Most High
02:32
|
|||
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
