1. New World Obscure

Ashes To Ashes - New World Obscure


A moth lands down on a withering rose
Like a silent mission from the dark
Drifting around chasing fading light
On a never ending search for shelter
It takes a million men to conquer the world
The moonshine englightens and covers it all
It's bringing them down, down in the fall

Like a thousand screams
Breathing down your neck
An all - Devouring dragon
Like a thousand down your obscure

Slave new world
A breed of slaves

The time has come for the brave to muster
In the crimson sunset they shall gather as one
Internal wisdom strengthens the powers
Hatred feeds the spark in their eyes
Bravens surveil the new world birth
To witness the changes in the earth
Mankind exceed and growing stronger
History repeats itself

Lizards evolves in the dusky horizons
A deadly challenge - Prepare to fall
Dwelling salvation - Lost creation
They are shadows of the holy
Spirits are restless and yearning revenge
Utter darkness tighten the clench
Souls that are true are hard to bend
But blood in the soil will tell of their end




2. Embraced In Black

Ashes To Ashes - Embraced In Black


The essence of tragefy
The flame of death's design
The solid scheme of fate
Futile to reflect
Steering with empty orbits
At the sinister deed
There is a spectral shadow
Engraved in your soul

...And when the scythe has fallen
There's no turning back
When the light's persistently faded
You're forever embraced in black

Never - You will never recoil
Forever - Locked in the pillory
You will never return
Scald by remorseful flame

Eclipse of greed
Grips the inner sanctum
Precious scapegoat
Clenching every drop of life
Leeches on your back
Refuses you to survive
The way is long and hard
That leads up to the light

Never - You will never climb the throne
Forever - Akiller's breed
You will never feel pity
Scald in purgatory




3. Among Mortals

Ashes To Ashes - Among Mortals


The ultimate serach of mankind
We experience the blessed infinity
'Cause only among mortals
You'll find immortality




4. Truth On Scaffold

Ashes To Ashes - Truth On Scaffold


A prophet that tries to live within a law
To sanctify the path he's walking
Obediently serve the light
Clutching at straws - Pits like jaws
Martytize and observe
Observe the crow

Words are written
Through ancient times
Caused to scrolls
Words are written
Through ancient times
Truth on scaffold
Scars the souls

Indulge the stigmata

In the shadow of the icon
Awaits the halls of doom
Guarding the truth, divine and the wisdom
Concealing the traces in light
Revealing the forbidden
The inhuman and the hidden
Cast the stone

Time has come to face all the lies
Accept and swallow all your pride
Living in celibacy till you die
Reborn - Witness - Crucify

The kingdom of one
Holier than thou
Healing hand
Nailed to cross
For all to see
The saviours wounds
It will always be heresy

Now, the one who looks beyond and far away
Reflections gone astray
Horizons indigo
A soul without mercy, no remorse
The truth is hard to bare
A soul without mercy, no repent
Sentenced to obey
All the years scarred the soul
Redemption
An image of the lie
That soon will wither and die




5. Iben




6. Dualism




7. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Ashes To Ashes - Sic Transit Gloria Mundi


Led towards the eerie distant
By seductive forces
Symbolic memories
Becomes false convictions
Obsessions pre - Ordained
Epidemic cult of perversion
The essence of man
Quintessence reversed
Twisted and bleeding

Run silent, run deep
Never make a sound
Surpress any feeling

Run silent, run deep
When hope - Becomes nothing
I shall ressuect

No silence broken with no tongue
''Sic transit, sic transit''
Leaving the stone unturned
''Mundi, gloria mundi''
Building castles of sand
''Quo vadis, qou vadis''
Thus passes the glory of the world
''Quo vadis domine''

Condemned to feed in the dark
Mundane pleasure
Make believe - Blasphemy
To fill the gaping void
Who are to tell
What heaven and hell harbours
The world is blood
To the shark in the raging sea

Run silent, run deep
Never make a sound
Surpress any feeling

Run silent, run deep
Whan hate - Becomes nothing
I shall ressurect

No silence broken with no tongue
''Sic transit, sic transit''
Leaving the stone unturned
''Mundi, gloria Mundi''
Building castles of sand
''Quo vadis, qou vadis''
Thus passes the glory of the world
''Quo vadis domine''

Waiting in the wings
Whan hope - Becomes hate
I shall ressurect

No silence broken with no tonuge
''Sic transit, sic transit''
Leaving the stone unturned
''Mundi, gloria mundi''
Building castles of sand
''Quo vadis. qou vadis''
Thus passes the glory of the world
''Quo vadis domine''

''Qualis rex, talis rex''
''Mundus vult decipi''
''Manus manum lavat''
''Sic transit gloria mundi''
''Quo vadis domine''




8. Ravenous Unleashed




9. Behind Closed Eyes

Ashes To Ashes - Behind Closed Eyes


Came to life in shame
The lust one couldn't tame
Now taking it's toll on you
At first heedless and in denial
Then the longing
Became the confession

Can't resist - You're the reciever
And in awe you thirst and obey
You willingky drink from the well

In the dark
The darkest hour
I am the scream inside the scream inside the scream

Mesmerize
I always deliver
Tantalize
The needles and pins
Carved in skin and mind
The shiver down your spine
I'm the one
Behind the closed eyes

A call that seduces
Intrigues and entwines
In the place with no doors
In raptures you'll shine
Pulling you under
A heart that pounds
As the heavens resound
Breathe it - feel it
The carnal instinct running in your veins

Take my hand
And kiss the ring
I will lead you to the promised land

Like the lamb
To the slaughter
I will lead you to the promised land

In the dark
The darkest hour
I am the scream inside the scream inside the scream

Mesmerize
I always deliver
Tantalize
The needles and pins
Carved in skin and mind
The shiver down your spine
I'm the one
Behind the closed eyes

Mesmerize
Enslaved forever
Tantalize
By the venomous kiss
Grace you with the splendor
There's no end and no beginning
I'm the one
Behind the closed eyes




10. Cardinal VII

Ashes To Ashes - Cardinal VII


You sense the thunder and chaos subside
Standind proud among all of their lies
Never to burn your eyes again and
Listen to their hollow words
And forever question what awaits you there

You're tasted sin
You're tasted truth
AS a blind you've seen the world

Bearing the weight of it all
Never to repent if it should fall

Can you remember - Will you remember
The days of lust and greed
No fortitude from the written word
Did prayers bring them closer to the savior
Or did they bleed

Falling to their knees
Questioning theis believes

You're tasted sin
You're tasted truth
To shed some light on the mystery

Bearing the weight of it all
Never to repent if it should fall
Through ages of no innocence
Nothing to confide in

Never wash the sins away
There can be ''No absolution!''
There can be ''Only one!''




11. Iben Pt 2
