Midnight -- Hell's flight The look in her eyes had all but left my mind Now it all comes back looking dead coal black Am I the victim or the criminal of this violent crime The clock on the mantel The shine of the candle The smell of the jasmine The laughter of the women Ladies in waiting at the ball of the season's end The shadows how they danced to the rhythm of our romance Can you but appreciate the sublime irony? The short single moment of my life's greatest pleasure The rapturous touch of an angel thought divine Heralded my fall and took away my mind into Hell On butcher's block he mocks and brings the shock to me The bride delights with spite ill flame he came for me Adieu itself a way to fear and tantalize The cock I bear leave as the lonely fire surprise How frequent blend our time the scar I come to cleave The glare below the charred we play we need as some Bright star -- renown her blush the sliver has become The knot begat the come, the sick, the feel is one Kill the tree that bears the fruit the love is gone again Coveting life he rides Dead line the lady descendant The coach infernal attendant With malice the figment abates Till next the summons of fate

Scrawled in time Wrath of all mankind Now you know you're dealing with Vigilante Homicide 3777 As the noon bell chimes Think upon your crimes The end growing nearer Your noose we'll carefully wind Paid in kind Take and eye for an eye Bury you without observance shallowly And fill your grave with lime What you did You can't hide Feel the burning inside Scrawled in time Wrath of all mankind Now you know you're dealing with Vigilante Homicide 3777 You'll never see heaven

Stumbling in the darkness through the blackest night My eyes are blinded They are without sight Evil crawls all over It's enslaving me I'm gagged and bound to the whipping tree Danger to the left side Malice to the right Precipice before me Devil's fire behind But I see the light Though you cast me out Still I have my pride Feel the power growing from down deep inside With everything I do I am more than you Brings me closer still Finally see the shining light Danger to the left side Malice to the right Precipice before me Devil's fire behind From all the wrong you've done With fear you begin to run If you travel to the ends of the earth Can't escape this monster's rebirth I'm walking ten feet tall Like a bear from antarctic thaw I'm clever and I'm insane And you will know my name Though you cast me out Still I have my pride Feel the power growing from down deep inside With everything I do I am more than you Brings me closer still Finally see the shining light Danger to the left side Malice to the right Precipice before me Devil's fire behind But I see the light

Forever 03:45
Alone I seethe in this hell Within abyss I dwell I taste my bitter bile In impotent exile Face within the darkness Quickly growing nearer and nearer Taking shape and focus Of a one so dear Inside the created torturous existence Man lives with a destiny he cannot face I feel the touch of your hand Caress my troubled brow With me once again You are here somehow After this has passed away We have forever

Nascent 02:05
Music is a gateway A gateway to power Observe the sacred chants Upon this holy hour The words of power command The ritual garb is donned The herbs are burned and chalice filled with spirits that urge us on As it was so it shall be What once existed becomes again The past taking root within the present Again and again and again The seven judges that surround and guide A soul through its journey Around you now abide Take a moment to recognize their faces Seemingly different people with familiar traces The language of deceased is the voice I wish to speak To tell you the secrets of aged centuries past Familiar scenes within a collective unconscious They burn in minds and in time Behold the door Through this portal must pass Each spirit as it seeks its way Then reborn back to the dead Another plane of nonmaterial existence Is not remembered but in flashes until its reentry Music is a gateway A gateway to power Observe the sacred chants Upon this holy hour The words of power command The ritual garb is donned The herbs are burned and chalice filled with spirits that urge us on As it was so it shall be What once existed becomes again The past taking root within the present

Alone I seethe in this hell Within abyss I dwell I taste my bitter bile In impotent exile Face within the darkness Quickly growing nearer and nearer Taking shape and focus Of a one so dear Inside the created torturous existence Man lives with a destiny he cannot face I feel the touch of your hand Caress my troubled brow With me once again You are here somehow After this has passed away We have forever
