1. Cotton Mather's Nightmare
Puritane
Or butcher insane?
A blind frenetic frenesy
Burns inside your veins
Supersticious ignorance
Anger of the lord
Puritane teocracy
paranoiac of god
Inquisition, mass hysteria
Murder legalized
Discrimination, Megalomania
Absurd mass genocide
Blind belief in witchcraft
Satan tules the world
Evil in every corner
Salvation from the lord
(Chorus)
Cotton Mather
What is your nightmare
Ouritane
What was your aim
Purify to justify
Slaughters, lies and shame
Remorse burns
In sleepless nights
Demons torture
Cry for human rights
I'll allucynations
Twist in childrens brain
Colony of New England
Simply gone insane
Cotton mathers judgement
God speaks from his lips
Evil wakes up, king of fools
When human reason sleeps
(Chorus)
Cotton Mather
What is your nightmare
2. Vampirella
3. Shadows On The Willage
4. Sabazios
Child of death, I cut the air
Alone again, I'm going nowhere
I ride alone, through wind and rain
Drunk to death, or just insane...
Smiles and lies, are left behind
Drunk and wet, I'm dead inside
Our praize is death, I'll reach you there
Unchain my wrath, I ride the crazy mare
I scream aloud, I cleave the air
My cry of pain, is everywhere
There's nothing left, no god to bless
There's only me, and my cold emptyness
Joy and pain, twist inside my brain
They rip my heart, and drive me insane
The universe, is hard to comprehend
Strangled inside, this shade of man
I ride out with the crazy mare
Flying high to the sun
Take my hand, come with me if you dare
We'll be killed by the dawn
Shake my corpse, but I've locked my doors
Long is my way, of no return
I prepare myself, for the eternal life
Or down with him, I shall burn
I ride out with the crazy mare
Flying high to the sun
We are like dreams, we spring in the sun
Then we die at dawn
5. The Misfortuned Witch
Judged and condamned as a witch
She was doomed to die
Her broom was out of reach
And so she couldn't fly
Sarah said she tortured her soul
And everybody knew it was true
Her presence made torn, rip and howl
And the priest soon knew what to do...torture!
Blood for the curse of the witch
But still little Sarah would cry
The beldam claimed she was innocent
But Sarah sid she want's me to die
The witch was doomed to stake
And spoiled Sarah smiled satisfied
If anybody ever thought of a mistake
It was anyway too late too reply
6. Incubus (I Devour Your Children Souls)
7. The Power of Silence
Immersed in ether of universe
In the splendor of eternity
The extasy of unlimited counciousness
the rise and fall I shall see
The present, the past and the future
Are just an illusions of time...
my power immense and eternal
The world of creation is mine!
I capture the cosmic vibration
And I'm in love with the earth and the sky
Lost in the kingdom of nothing
Where I am there's no dark, there's no light...
There are only the colours of universe
The enrapturing sight takes my breath
I am one with the power of silence
I am god, beyond life, beyond deah!
8. Night Flight
Cleaving the darkness, my wings take me high
And I see everything bright with my nocturnal sight
Spraying the eternal, at nightfall I rise
I weigh in the fresh air when father sun dies
When she fills my body I am and I am a bird
I am lord of the air and I can see so far
The princess of visions tonight is my wife
Through my doors of perception an explosion of life
Higher and higher, through the rivers and lands
Where the dreams start, where reality ends
I am ''Quetzalcoatl'' and they worship my name
Honoured by sacrifice the air is my reign
I am shot in a free flight that no wall can stop
I shall land at the dawn into my body on the ground
I'll return to the madness, into the daily no-life
Only awaiting the night, for my nocturnal flight
