Album Lyrics
1. Dark Saga
The deal was rigged
There’s darkness in my soul
I want to die again
An empty soul shrouded in darkness
Alone and confused what am I?
Images flash memories jaded
He took my life – God damn his lies
Fight, son of the damned, bring down the heavens
Smash in the gates, burn ‘em down
You must accept the fate that you’ve chosen
You will obey your destiny
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I’ve lost it all
I know there’s goodness in me
Though I’m not the same
I will defy the master
I will refuse to be his slave
No, I was betrayed, I can’t accept this
My future’s unclear, it’s a lie
I’ll follow my heart stand and be counted
The curse will lift – I will survive
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I’ve lost it all
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I’ve lost it all
2. I Died for You
I can’t believe this now
This isn’t what I planned
I lived and died and now
I just can’t understand
With all the love I feel
I could never leave her
No matter what the cost
My soul’s the price to see her
Chorus
Oh how I love you
The pain won’t go away
Oh when I need you
You’re always so far away
I cry for you
Leaving myself to blame
I died for you
I gave up everything
The pain was just too much
When I finally saw her
She’s happy and in love
In love with my best friend
What makes it hurt so bad
Is that I love them both
And they will never know
For love I sold my soul
Repeat Chorus
3. Violate
Enter now the fiendish one
Twisted little man
Vile wretch, disgusting mess
Perverted little man
Born of hell and in disease
Hate festers in his veins
Demonic clown and shape-shifter
Little man gone insane
Enter now
Enter now – and violate
I’ll beat you with your spinal cord
Split your skull in two
I’ll feast on your intestines
There’s nothing I can’t do
I’ll rip your heart out of your chest
Watch it beat as you cry
I revel in your agony
I violate and make you die
Enter now
Enter now – and violate
Enter now
Enter now – and violate
4. The Hunter
A force of light
An angel sent through time to destroy
Avenging the dark ones
Descending angelic force!
Heaven sent the hunter
Her mission – to crucify
Slay the hellborn
His offspring – demonic force
Descending from heaven
The angel sworn to bring him down
The hunter, the thunder
The wrath of heavens coming down
Descending from heaven
The angel sworn to bring him down
The hunter, the thunder
The wrath of heavens coming down
She swore an oath, an allegiance
Armageddon is in sight
To be the thorn in the devils back
To make him weak, the final fight!
Descending from heaven
The angel sworn to bring him down
The hunter, the thunder
The wrath of heavens coming down
Descending from heaven
The angel sworn to bring him down
The hunter, the thunder
The wrath of heavens coming down!
5. The Last Laugh
My personal quest is to make your life hell
Yes dear friend, listen up well
The power I’ve given I can take as well
I am your father destroyer of the light
I’ve taken your soul and have given you life
You are the damned condemned by my hand
My son, creature of the night
In your hour of darkness you warm my soul
And deep in you as I make my hole
God won’t save you
Your soul’s been sold
I am your father, destroyer of the light
I’ve taken your soul and have given you life
You are the damned condemned by my hand
My son, creature of the night
Extending… now you rise
Tormented… soul of fire
Deception… in my eyes
Your life… your life is mine
My new born son burn now with anger
I command and you must follow
Fly now and do battle
The heavens fall, mankind’s disaster
In your hour of darkness
You warm my soul
God won’t save you
Your soul’s been sold
I am your father, destroyer of the light
I’ve taken your soul and have given you life
You are the damned condemned by my hand
My son, creature of the night
Extending… now you rise
Tormented… soul of fire
Deception… in my eyes
Your life… your life is mine
6. Depths of Hell
Angels coming from above
Take the essence of his love…
Challengers call him from all around
Demons coming from the ground
Battles won and nothing gained
Feel the pain
Feel the shock
From the depths of hell
From the depths of hell
Darkness dwelling in his soul
True damnation, no control…
Shattered pieces of his past
Broken dreams among the dead
When the smoke clears he will arise
Feel the pain
Feel the shock
From the depths of hell
From the depths of hell
7. Vengeance Is Mine
Hear now this story of the man that should not be
A ghoul of blackened torment, sullen atrocity
A kindred soul to the devil’s own, malignance personified
Cast from his fire he molests the purest light
Profane to humanity, menaced by flesh and bone
Screams of the unknown youth to him the sweetest tone
Undying in his will to kill, his bloodlust is profound
For the blood of the lamb I’ve got to bring him down
For all the young lives you have slain
(Fear now you shall obtain)
Vengeance is mine
For every young one that has died
(Your psychopathic genocide)
Vengeance is mine
I shall do what the law won’t do, I can make the sacrifice
In the name of these bodies which held such precious life
Mine is not to ask forgiveness – this deed I’ve proudly done
Without God, without the devil – this time I have won
For all the young lives you have slain
(Fear now you shall obtain)
Vengeance is mine
For every young one that has died
(Your psychopathic genocide)
Vengeance is mine
For all the young lives you have slain
(Fear now you shall obtain)
Vengeance is mine
For every young one that has died
(Your psychopathic genocide)
Vengeance is mine
8. The Suffering (Part 1: Scarred)
Darkness calls down to me
Sweat pours from my body like rain
Growing wiser with each touch
A pawn in Lucifer’s game, am I?
It attacks me in the black abyss
The entity formless yet full of rage
The mark of the beast (my body)
Scarring me for eternal life
I brought this all upon myself
(Sold my soul to change my life)
It’s up to me and no one else
(The beast in me can’t control my life)
I brought this all upon myself
(Sold my soul to change my life)
It’s up to me and no one else
(The beast in me can’t control me)
And so it’s begun, this is the end of me
The seed was sowed
Now it’s growing inside
My fate in control, not mine
He lied
I brought this all upon myself
(Sold my soul to change my life)
It’s up to me and no one else
(The beast in me can’t control my life)
I brought this all upon myself
(Sold my soul to change my life)
It’s up to me and no one else
(The beast in me can’t control me)
I brought this all upon myself
Sold my soul to change my life
It’s up to me and no one else
The beast in me won’t control me
9. The Suffering (Part 2: Slave to the Dark)
A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds
One of which the new me hates and the one that’s coming true
The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze
But am I really in control or am I just a slave
Oh!
I called upon this god to deliver unto me
To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees
He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies
Ask and I received – damnation was the price
I signed my name in blood, didn’t read the fine print
Now I’m just a puppet god for the devil’s own descent
Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave
Fallen bloody tears can’t wash the pain away
All at once it’s clear to me
Damnation and destiny
A slave to darkness shall I be
Damnation and destiny
And so I must repent or will I be destroyed
Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie?
And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul?
Or humiliate me, desecrate me, like his only son?
All at once it’s clear to me
Damnation and destiny
A slave to darkness shall I be
Damnation and destiny
10. The Suffering (Part 3: A Question of Heaven)
The time is close now, the end is near
My walk through the valley, trails of fear
I feel empty, my penance overdue
I guess it’s too late now to be with you…
I’m extremely frightened of what will surely be
I sold myself, the death of me
I know you can’t forgive me
I know I’m on my own, I’ve betrayed you
I walk alone
What exactly is the meaning of this?
Just pawns in your twisted game
Severe pain for the lie I’m living
For a love I never could betray
(Question me not say the lord unto thee)
(You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny)
(Denied of this life is what you are to be)
(You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny)
Lord I pound my fists at you
Won’t you just let me die?
Would I not suffer enough?
No inner peace no after life
(Question me not say the lord unto thee)
(You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny)
(Denied of this life is what you are to be)
(You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny)
I did what I thought was right
All for the love of my life
I know it’s sad but true
Something is very wrong
Condemned to suffer so long
For a love so true
The question that lies within
It’s so hard to understand
It still tears at me
And in my dying breath
My heart holds no regrets
I wouldn’t change a thing
My spirit begins to rise into the heavenly skies
Just to be shunned away by you
Now all I want is to die, no streets of gold in the sky
And I wash my hands of you
(Rising to the heaven’s light)
(Just to plea for death)
(Just to be denied)
(Rising to the heaven’s light)
(Just to plea for death)
(Just to be denied)
I know You can’t forgive me (rising to the Heaven’s light)
I know I’m on my own (just to plead for death)
I know that I’ve betrayed You (just to be denied)
You know I walk alone
(Rising to the heaven’s light)
You know I walk alone (just to plead for death)
I walk, I walk a trail of fear (just to be denied)
(Rising to the Heaven’s light)
I pound my fists at You
I’m shunned away by You (just to plead for death)
I wash my hands of You (just to be denied)
(Rising to the Heaven’s light)
Why won’t You let me die?
Why won’t You let me die?
(Just to plead for death)
(Just to be denied)
Why won’t you let me die?
(Rising to the heaven’s light)
(Just to plea for death)
(Just to be denied)
