[Intro] Pieces of what we could have been Pieces of a shattered dream Child, take your dark memories Like seeds, and plant them far from here Sow them, feed them, through shine and rain Your love will be born again
[Verse 1] The dawn of prosperity, a faded scar And in the calamity A slaughtered tsar We all need something to believe in Until it's over, anything, anyone, anytime But it's not over yet
[Pre-Chorus] This is what dreams are made of This is what they're afraid of A rhyme with no reason When they finally reach you You will have seen through The darkest season
[Chorus] Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black moon, over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me
[Verse 2] The end of a monarchy A state machine Unable to foresee, the widow queen We all need something to believe in Until it's over, anything, anyone, anytime But it's not over yet
[Pre-Chorus] Every new generation Hails a grand usurpation Devoid of treason For a man in a mirror It’s all getting clearer That dark is the season
[Chorus] Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black moon, over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge] We are legion, join us One day, fate will find a way Through the marches of death And we’re back to the bearer of light
[Keyboard Solo]
[Chorus] Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black moon, over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black moon, over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me
[Outro] On the peacefield, peacefield Peacefield, on the peacefield (Peacefield, peacefield, on the peacefield, peacefield)

Lachryma
[Verse 1] Ripping through every poem Like a vampire should And it takes one to know 'em Like I knew you would
[Pre-Chorus] In the middle of the night, it feeds In the middle of the night, it eats you Everybody knows Everywhere I go I can never run and I cannot hide
[Chorus] I'm done crying Over someone like you I'm done crying Hope you're feeling it too now I'm done
[Post-Chorus] Crying Crying
[Verse 2] Now that sweet's gone sour Seeping down the cracks Mm, getting worse by the hour The vile rot attacks, oh
[Pre-Chorus] In the middle of the night, it feeds In the middle of the night, it eats you Everybody knows Everywhere I go I can never run and I cannot hide
[Chorus] I'm done crying Over someone like you I'm done crying Hope you're feeling it too now I'm done
[Post-Chorus] Crying Crying
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus] Everybody knows Everywhere I go And I cannot wait until the day when
[Chorus] I'm done crying Over someone like you I'm done crying Hope you're feeling it too now I'm done crying (Crying) Over someone like you I'm done crying (Crying) I need somebody new now I'm done

Satanized
[Verse 1] There is something inside me And they don't know if there is a cure A demonic possession Unlike any before It's a sickening heartache And it's slowly tormenting my soul I've invested my prayers Into making me whole
[Pre-Chorus] I should have known Not to give in I should have known Not to give in
[Chorus] Blasphemy, heresy Save me from the monster that is eating me I'm victimized Blasphemy, heresy Save me, from the bottom of my heart I know I'm satanized I'm satanized I'm satanized
[Interlude] An nescitis quoniam membra vestra Templum est Spiritus Sancti Qui in vobis est Quem habetis a Deo Et non estis vestri
[Verse 2] Through a life of devotion I've been quelling my urges to burst I've been fighting the notion To, by love, be coerced
[Pre-Chorus] I should have known Not to give in I should have known Not to give in
[Chorus] Blasphemy, heresy Save me from the monster that is eating me I'm paralyzed Blasphemy, heresy Save me, from the bottom of my heart I know I'm satanized I'm satanized I'm satanized
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3] Like a deadly affliction That is twisting and bending my core I have begged God for the remedy But I'm no longer sure
[Pre-Chorus] I should have known Not to give in I should have known Not to give in
[Chorus] Blasphemy, heresy Save me from the monster that is eating me I'm laicized Blasphemy, heresy Save me, from the bottom of my heart I know I'm satanized From the bottom of my heart I know I'm satanized From the bottom of my heart I know I'm satanized I'm satanized I'm satanized

Guiding Lights
[Verse 1] If I could pause right here I would open my heart And tell you with no fear That the path we have walked Led us into the dark
[Pre-Chorus] There stood my God, before me Do you know what they said
[Chorus] That the road that leads to nowhere is long And that those who seek to go there are lost The guiding lights (lights), they lead you on And the road that leads to nowhere is long
[Verse 2] If I could turn around I would've told you the truth It could've found its way Through the powers that be I just want you to see
[Pre-Chorus] There stands our God before us Can't you hear them saying
[Chorus] That the road that leads to nowhere is long And that those who seek to go there are lost The guiding lights (lights), they lead you on And the road that leads to nowhere is long
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro] That the road that leads to nowhere is long That the road that leads to nowhere is long That the road that leads to nowhere is long That the road that leads to nowhere is long

De Profundis Borealis
[Verse 1] All the things that never gave you peace Throwing those, but keeping these All the rights that didn't undo wrongs Put it back where it belongs
[Pre-Chorus] In a palace built of frozen tears All life is gone But between the walls of whispering frost Secrets live on
[Chorus] Every time you feel the wind blow And a glow within you dies When tomorrow comes, you will know That the morning thaws the ice
[Verse 2] All the words that never came out right Within reach, but out of sight All the songs that couldn't mend your heart But slit it up and tore apart
[Pre-Chorus] See, the palace built of frozen tears Is your own built prison And if only love could break these chains Life could go on
[Chorus] Every time you feel the wind blow And a glow within you dies When tomorrow comes, you will know That the morning thaws the ice

Cenotaph
[Verse 1] At the top of the mountain Right there where it tips and connects with the night sky Reach it with me In the grave of the ocean Right there where it dips and connects with the fire Burning with me
[Pre-Chorus] The ashes of memories Buried Are blowing Blowing in the wind
[Chorus] Through the sensations On through the storms Like you used to be Wherever I go You're always there Riding next to me
[Verse 2] At the heart of the city Right there where it glows and explodes into colour Devour with me In the heat of the moment Right here where it feels like I'm actually living You are with me
[Pre-Chorus] The ashes of memories Buried Are blowing Blowing in the wind
[Chorus] Through the sensations On through the storms Like you used to be Wherever I go You're always there Riding next to me
[Bridge] Wherever I go You're always there Riding next to me
[Chorus] Through the sensations On through the storms Like you used to be Wherever I go You're always there Riding next to me
[Outro] To me Next to me Next to me

Marks of the Evil One
[Verse 1] One rider has a bow Rides a steed, white, and wears a crown, conquering A second rider joins, on a steed Red, swinging a sword, mongering
[Pre-Chorus] Fall on us, and hide us From the tyrant who is Satanically enthroned
[Chorus] There! There! The marks are spreading everywhere There! There! The marks of the evil one
[Verse 2] The third rider looks cool, on a steed Black, a pair of scales in his hand The fourth rider is death, rides a steed Pale, and Hades follows him
[Pre-Chorus] Fall on us, and hide us From the tyrant who is Satanically enthroned
[Chorus] There! There! The marks are spreading everywhere There! There! Disciples of the evil one There! There! Watch, they're crawling up the serpent's lair There! There! There! The marks of the evil one
[Verse 3] When plowing through the seals Like there is no tomorrow to be seen As if the falling sky is nothing but an ancient dream And when the sun eclipses It's just abracadabra Some hocus pocus sham Here they come, here they come, here they come
[Interlude and Guitar Solo]
[Chorus] There! There! The marks are spreading everywhere There! There! Disciples of the evil one There! There! Watch, they're crawling up the serpent's lair There! There! There! The marks of the evil one
[Outro] There! There! There! There! There is a fucking there! There!

Umbra
[Verse 1] In the shadows, pale and cold In the shadows, lay my soul In the shadows, death becomes your lover
[Pre-Chorus] The altar is lit with black candles The darker, the better, so thrilling It's killing you

[Verse 2] In the shadows, stripped of sin In the shadows, deep within In the shadows, I will make you my angel
[Pre-Chorus] The altar (altar) is lit with black candles The darker (darker), the better, so killing It's thrilling me

[Chorus] In the chapel of the holy one In the presence of the chosen son I see your light shine through In the temple of the Godly scene In the shadow of the Nazarene I put my love in you

Excelsis
[Verse 1] It is the end of your penitence It is the end of your sadness and pain It's the return to your innocence It is the end of a life grieved in vain
[Pre-Chorus] Everybody leaves one day I know it hurts Everybody goes away You will, too, I will, too
[Chorus] Come with me to the rainbow's end Come with me to the Holy Land Come with me You will, too, I will, too Excel, excel
[Verse 2] There is still time for deliverance There is still time to make peace with your friend And to return to where there's a chance There is still time to love once again

[Chorus] Come with me to the rainbow's end Come with me to the Holy Land Come with me You will, too, I will, too Excel, excel

[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus] Everybody leaves one day I know it hurts Everybody goes away You will, too, I will, too
[Chorus] Come with me to the rainbow's end Come with me to the Holy Land Come with me You will, too, I will, too Excel, excel, excel, excel
