1. Days

We came out of the night
Bloodied but unbowed from days
We always will remember
And by the morning light
We look upon the risen dawn
The day of our creation

I see my enemies
And I know the way, the way I will defeat them
And in such days as these
I see the circle turning to completion

These days will never come again
These days will never come again
These days will never come again
These days will never come again

2. Shield Wall

Fire!

3. The Messenger

This is the work, the Wise man will see
Thrice great Hermes, we call to thee
Distillation, revelation, look within, fire!

We saw the light, we saw the light, Matter!
Between the moon and the sun, the moon and the sun

Oh Ouroborous, surround us
The Lion consuming the sun
This is the work, the great work
Conjiunctionis Mysterium

We saw the light, we saw the light, Matter!
Between the moon and the sun, the moon and the sun

We saw the light, we saw the light, Matter!
Between the moon and the sun, the moon and the sun

4. God Of The Grain

Through dark Egyptian soil I rise
And raise my arms up to the sky
I am the life that never ends
I am the Logos called again

My story ever was the same
I was killed by broken men
And on the third day rose again
I am the God within the grain

I am the God of the grain, I’m the God of the grain
I am the God of the grain, I live, I die, and I…

And so this Cross shall be my sign
For I was here before all time
I am the center of the flame
Every age shall know my name

I am the God of the grain, I’m the God of the grain
I am the God of the grain, I live, I die, and I…

Mithras, Dionysius, Osiris, Adonis
Mithras, Dionysius, Osiris, Jesus

And I am born again
And I am born again!

5. Visitation

[Spoken:]
At war with myself, and took it to the street
Another grey afternoon of the soul

Infinite repetition with no end in sight
Karmic Debts from another life I am starting to remember
A little here, a little there, Mitrochondrial memory
Up the twisting ladder
I recognized you instantly

Although we’ve never met, something in your eyes
From so many thousands years ago
I was never young, and neither were you

[Man:] Who the hell are you?
[Strange voice:] You know who I am
[Man:] Are you who I think you are?
[Strange voice:] Yes

I am here!
You know me!
Here I am!

I was half asleep or was I half awake?
Pressure from my chest, impossible to breathe

I forced my eyes to look
And you are all I see
Speaking in thoughts, boring into me (I’ve lost it)

[Strange voice:] You wanted to make a deal, so here I am, well…
[Man:] I didn’t mean it, this is not what I asked for
[Strange voice:] Well, you said it, and now I am here! Be careful what you wish for

I am here!
You know me!
Here I am!
I know you!

[Strange voice:] Be careful what you wish for

Infinite repetition…

6. Sonic Mass Part 1

Well I remember well, I turned to you and said
I am for the living, let the dying bury the dead

Oh you Godless men, I see you’re here again
Enemies and friends when will we be released

Little kid: Daddy, it’s getting dark, I’m a bit frightened

7. Sonic Mass Part 2

I see a burning cross upon a desert hill
Beneath a crescent moon a silhouette is rising

I see the ghost of men who passed this way before
One thousand years ago so full of their convictions

I see the congregation mass!
I hear the call to prayer mass!

We all were brothers once and shared the secrets of the stars
One thousand years ago and now we die for this black blood

I see the congregation mass!
I hear the call to prayer mass!

I see the congregation mass!
I hear the call to prayer mass!

8. Here Come The Wolf

The Legion left, and with them took the dying light
Once more the land became a wilderness of supertitious night
And from the forest deep came tales of children reared by wolves
The mother raped and left in shame whilst in the womb
They dreamed revenge

They are murderous, and they come for us
Between the beast and man we die

Here come the wolf

They are murderous, and they come for us
Between the beast and man we die

Here come the wolf

A message came, a plea for help against the beast
But no-one came and night on night the forest rang
With chilling cries, as decimation took its course
Oh Gods have mercy of our souls, with every night the terror comes
See how they run

They are murderous, and they come for us
Between the beast and man we die

Here come the wolf

They are murderous, and they come for us
At night we hear the children cry

Here come the wolf

9. The One

Before the Earth was born we travelled from the stars
We fell like comets from the universal mind
We fused the elements within the rising sun

We are the north, the south, the east, the west, the one!

All sense of separation, this is your illusion
All sense of segregation, just leading to confusion

We watched the mighty fall and Empires turned to dust
The cities crumbling into the raging Sea
We entered into life that took the human form

We are the air, the water, the earth, the fire!

All sense of separation, this is your illusion
All sense of segregation, just leading to confusion
All sense of separation, this is your illusion

All sense of separation, this is your illusion
All sense of segregation, just leading to confusion
All sense of separation, this is your illusion

We are the one

Spoken: Oh man look upon your Works and despair
The fundamental essence ever was the same
Born of our mother moon, our father sun above us all days
These principles ever were the same, we are in everything and all is part of you
As it is above, so it is below
Open up your eyes, stand at the center of the earth and look around you
The north, the east, the south, the west
The water, the air, the earth, the fire!

10. Knights Of The Black Sun

Desperation took us down
Uneasy lies, the head
That wears the crown
You can't see it

I saw the mourners passing by
These wicked men
Beneath the sulfurous skies
Oh what can it mean?

Every bell is silent here
The hands of clocks are bound
And time itself has stopped
Can you feel it?

The birds are frozen in their flight
Trapped within the thunder light

A storm is rising
A voice within the winter halls
Some great secret from these careless lips will fall

A star on our horizon
See you gods forgotten son
Lies broken and alone
Searching for a father,he has never known....

From Dresden's blazing skies
To the bloody wash of dawn
I saw the beast arise
And climb upon the throne

And fallen angels weep
And long for peace, for home
Whilst far beneath the ice they sleep
These dark knights of the black sun

And on the stormlashed mountain high
I found the hidden book
On the altar of the wretched prince of lies

And I broke apart the graven seal
And these seven words I read
Rejoice, the great god fear is dead

So from the rooftops call it out
You where always free
Yes from the rooftops call it out
And ever may you be
