1. Phoenix Rising
Alter of the sun god,
We melt before your flames.
Children of darkness
Bound in human chains
Hellfire kindles the hatred in our hearts
All love has frozen from you, we are torn apart
To the sun we are blind
As we watch our world die
From the ashes of demise
Our burnin
g phoenix shall arise
Soldiers of fortune fighting unto death
Condemned in armour sold for their last breath
Upright citizents to decadence enslaved
Peak of pleasure waiting in your graves
To the sun we are blind
As we watch our world die
From the ashes of demise
Our burning phoenix shall arise
As pur dreams turn into burning ash
We crystalise in flames,then fly
To the sun we are blind
As we watch our world die
From the ashes of demise
Our burning phoenix shall arise
Corporate fascists feast upon corpse of man
Psycho assassins from the holy land
Fiery destruction ? our salvation found.
2. Resisting The Ghost
Living dead vampiress
Trying to taunt me back to the grave
My black and macabre past
Summoning me forever a slave
Black sun arising
Howling moon it screams
As spider's web she's weaving again
Hallucinations sucking me in
Resisting the ghost
My former life host
Resisting the ghost
Echoed celebrations
Haunt loves hollow room
Motivation mortally trapped
In regrets obsessive tomb
A stake she's thrusting
Into my dying heart
Power igniting the past
Awakes me from this coffin at last
Resisting the ghost
Resisting the ghost
She was the one i love most
I've rejected the ghost
3. Skullflower
She plants a seed in my head
Opium narcosis hypnotic dread
I feel her death growing in me
Like a cancer,yet i crave the disease
Mesmeried by her strange power
Beauty and death in union
She blossoms in the 13th hour
Skullflower
Hollow skull emotionless grin
Arcane tunnels sucking me in
Black vortex in her eyes
Reminds me of a love that died
Lady death evolves from a flower
Growing upon my own tomb
Into her groung i'm sinking lower
Skullflower
4. Aphrodite's Winter
Frozen land mesmerised by her arcane mystery
Goddess of the underworld cold queen of lost beauty
Gazed upon earth's battleground
At mankind's misery
With her saddness came love's death
As violence slowly siezed
Her wheeping tears of darkness crytallised the earth
As warmth turned colder, her grief chilled away all mirth
Frosted armies paused in war now wearing beards of snow
Perishing forevermore, her bite numbs to the bone
Housed in icy caves, men of peace rest in these times of woe
Shaking in glass coffins, waiting for the sun to glow
She cast her spell on earth and all emotion died
Her languid heart dulled the skies with love's demise
She crystallised the earth with water from her eyes
A frozen sun now hangs above this land's demise.
5. Empty Mirror
Chasing my own death through life
A future trapped in yesterday
When everything was fresh and bright
Then innocence found its grave
In dark caves
Wisdom reigns
Awareness dulls ambition's flame
Like a corpse
In soil laid
Trust and faith long since decayed
Togetherness, broken mess
Devotion sought and found in vain
Blind fatigue debased intrigue
Love was traded in for pain
A path i followed with blind eyes
Running all this way to find
The terminal of painfull truth
Where purity and innocence died
Dying face of beauty fades
Before my eyes as you ascend
Sail away with the sun
To never feel my touch again
Free once more to raom in hell
This lonely world represents hell
Solitude shares the pain
A secret lover til the end
I have lost the will to live
Will it come to pass?
Need the strength to carry on
Must forget the past...
The empty mirror tells no lies
Reflecting a transparent face
Just nothingless is recognised
I'm stranded in a long-lost place
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, i'm a stranger
Here i stand ? all alone
Before a cross my concience pleads yesterday
A thorn embraced as the future slowly bleads
Awaken now, bury the past,
Put to rest, no longer grieve
Chase the light, pass the gates
Leave this graveyard of lost dream.
6. Nocturnal Fist
Riding this blackened life, this odyssey
Searching for the keys that set you free
From emptiness, futility, mountain of strength ? you can be
Stop hiding in the void, come ride with me
In the darkest hour, wear your crown of stars
Pain and funeral power strengthens your black heart
Reading through the lines that square you in
Believing in yourself, your only sin
A routine life of sheep in line, stand out child,
You will shine
In darkness you alone can be divine
In your darkest hour you are made of stars
Pain and funeral power strengthens your balck heart
Black odyssey, a search to be free
Look for the keys, come ride with me
See through the lies with funreal insight
Then you will shine in darkness divine
Raising a fist to nocturnal skies
Slaying through the mist that clouds your eyes
Senses alive, see through their lies
Death routine nine to five
Screaming awake to life as the world dies.
7. Iconoclast
Guardians of darkness set my spirit free
From this land of madness,give me something to believe
Your system and religion control me like a disease
Strenght and determination
Almost let you bleed
They'll let you bleed
No god's,no masters,no authority
Only yourself
Divine disciples controll your destiny,
Believe in yourself
Baptism of fire into society
Crucified and brainwashed,told just what to believe
Drowned in holy water to cleanse in purity
Guilty for existing,your mind will never be free
You'll never be free
No god's,no masters,no authority
Only yourself
Divine disciples controll your destiny,
Believe in yourself
You're strong without god,everyone is a star
There is no authority,but yourself
No god's,no masters,there is no god but man
Man made gods and idols,you think can save man?
If you become suicidal,you're made to believe they can!
Sins for which i'm guilty,i am by my own hand
Forgiveness i'm not seeking,i'll live by my own command
Your own command
No god's,no masters,no authority
Only yourself
Divine disciples controll your destiny,
Believe in yourself
8. Black Robed Avenger
Black robed avenger
Rides upon a white horse through my mind
In search of love he finds
A spectral planet lost in space and time
He dreams of paradise
Suspended animation greets his eyes
Across barren deserts,a universal wilderness he seeks
Palaces crumbled
Sceletons remain of fallen kings
Bleak storms and hurricanes
He braved ti discover loves atomic grave
He found salvation
Within a void of loneliness and pride
The land of selfish man
A frozen world in winter's hands
A weary traveller
Stares into the heart of human kind
Souls of planet earth
Entombed inside a giant ball of ice
9. Congregation Of Sorcerers
Born in the casket of society's decay
On your knees to be rewarded with strife
Grim opsesion in search of afterlife
Unification of the magical ones
Congregation in far off skies
Conformist slaves,trapped in earth's cage
Grave acceptance of plastic lies
In the church of your brains demise
Unification of the magical ones
Congregation in far off skies
Bone-made chariot,carry this lost soul
Past the stars beyond lampblack skies
To where the sorcerrers of life we'll find
Unification of the magical ones
Congregation in far off skies
10. Halo Of Fire
Land of suffering beneath a rotting sky
Witches are burning,black flags fly
Smouldering pyre of evil empire
Infernal darkness,ghost of mankind
Enemies of god-skulls stacked high
Sinners,non-believers,liars must die
Crucifiction of satan's children
On the holy one's day of retribution
Yeah,oh yeah,the end of the world draws near
Yeah,oh yeah,good and bad controlled by fear
They're clensing the world of sin
Ridding the world of evil
By sinister and evil means-black god of destruction is king
Halo of fire-burning funeral pyre
Behold the fiery earth appears broken
Locusts swarm out from the pit now open
Abadon awakens to eternal nothingness
Halo of fire crowning his darkness.

Неплохой альбом с фирменными поджаристыми плюшками. Но немного не в себе материал, всё также отлично слушающийся. Здесь Ли попытался раскопать золотую середку(селедку), между нагловатой веселухи(ухи) и серьезности отщепенного(пена) думовизма-получилось.

5. Empty Mirror
Chasing my own death through life
A future trapped in yesterday
When everything was fresh and bright
Then innocence found its grave
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
Summer came in rays of light
Overwhelming joy it gave
Blinding all life's pain from sight
Golden days could not be saved
Empty mirror, soul replacer
Empty mirror, youth taker
In dark caves
Wisdom reigns
Awareness dulls ambition's flame
Like a corpse
In soil laid
Trust and faith long since decayed
Togetherness, broken mess
Devotion sought and found in vain
Blind fatigue debased intrigue
Love was traded in for pain
A path i followed with blind eyes
Running all this way to find
The terminal of painfull truth
