You were born your brother's keeper
Why can I see blood and your hands?
You became brother's slayer
Embrace again in death.
At the end of all this hatred lies even deeper hate
Their darkness has defeated you - Your lifeline running backwards
Remember - Sins Of Our Fathers
A Requiem - For The Countless Dead
Blood is on your hands - The wages of sin
[Theme : Michael]
Future's eyes closing now
Soul eclipse taking place
Laments rise - tears of the dead
From the other side of the grave
You were born your brother's keeper
Why can I see blood and your hands?
Their darkness has defeated you
Your lifeline running backwards

Fearless on my final request
Find truth beyond the flesh
Fleeting past my dreams of unfulfilled desire
My strengh unwavering
My journey just beginning
A desperate race through the corridors of hell
Chaos emmerge - Surrender I will not
The tast Enemy Is Falling
Here I am - To Conquer Death Itself
The tast Enemy Is Falling
Here I stand - To Conquer Death Itself
Funcral silence bencath the burning cross
My immortal soul sleeps with the wolves tonight
Skin and bones that rot my blood runs dry
See me die to rise with the gods again
[Harmony : Michael & Christopher ]
[Lead : Christopher ]
Defy... Decay
Arise Again
[Harmony : Michael & Christopher ]
[Lead : Michael ]
Chaos emmerges
Surrender I will not

I Will Live Again
I don’t know
I cannot see
Who we are now
How we used to be
Is it you?
Or is it we?
Look in the mirror
We are a fading memory
Where are we?
We got lost
In the cold
I will live again you’ll see – tomorrow’s not scaring me
Far away from yesterday – just take this pain away
Fatal chaos
Hurtful lies
A broken dream
Is all we left behind
Is it you?
Or is it we?
Look in the mirror
Just a fading memory
. . .

Who is your god – Is he not mine?
Who is your devil – are we the same?
What makes you worse
What makes me better
Never to trust again – How long have I got?
In this darkened maze
They keep me awake – They scream at night
Screams at night
Who is your master
In this shallow grave
Born to die for a lie
I have no soul – I have no pride
Genocide
Where is justice in this hell?
Where is liberty – I paid the price
My life blood runs dry
Slowly drained from me
Screams at night
...Alone in this shallow grave I die...
. . .

Since the day that you were born the wheels are in motion
Turning ever faster – Play your part in the big machine
The stage is set, the road is chosen
You fate preordained
We are watching you – every step of the way
Never too late to stand your ground – Revolution begins
In you – In me – Revolution!
Once lost – Lost in their game
Mental chains breaking now
Set yourself free
Who are they to tell you what to do?
The stage is not set, the road is not chosen
Your fate not preordained
They are losing control – every step of the way
This is revolution!

The end is near.
Panic is closing in.
Sick with fear they run
Watch freedom's fall.
What have we become?
Cannot fodder
Reign of terror.
Enslave the nations – devastation!
This is war – pull the trigger.
One nation under their control
Rise – the Tyrants rise!
The enemy inside – the tyrants rise
The end is here – feel it closing in
Blood runs red
Watch in horror – our lives destroyed
We failed
The final holocaust
Enslave the nations – annihilation!
This is war – pull the trigger.
One nation under their control
War, pain, suffering
The price we pay to stay alive
Blood, fire, death
His Glory come, his kingdom rise
This world will burn
. . .

Born to suffer, in this life or for another
So hopeless and relentless falls this remorseless day
The dark remains of a violent world
The day you died my tears ran dry
I feel you, I hear you echo in my soul
I failed you, I miss you so
The day you died echoes in my soul
The world's on fire – turned its back on us
A lost horizon left behind
So hopeless and relentless falls this remorseless day
The dark reality of a hostile world
. . .

This earth speakes of darkness
To come in the blood of man
The air breathing poison
All water running black
Until the sun rises and sets on death
The sky burns red like sheer hate
The light in our eyes will fade
To join the darkness of our souls
The earth is losing its light
Night falls fast
Watch the dying sun
We are lost
No angel dares to land
In this hell of mankind's making
Buried all beauty in our foulness
Nature begins to shine its fury
Until the sun rises and sets on death
The sky burns red like sheer hate
Night falls upon mankind
Pray for the dead
The sky burns red
Like sheer hate
. . .

Disillusioned numb emptiness
(No hope) I feel a paralyzing fear
(No salvation) Taking control
their coldness hurt me beyond belief
DOMINUS BEO SPIRITUS
Will I burn?
Will I be free?
The great darkness consumed my soul
DIABOLUS LIBERO SPIRITUS
Blind my eyes, I hate the light
Despair, frustration, regret
Fighting – fighting for what?
Lies, your lies – I feel dead inside
My pain is all I leave behind
A shadow – the only light I followed
Transparent I am – like a ghost
A far cry from whom I wanted to be
I never found my place, my place nor peace
. . .

[Lyrics: Angela Gossow, Music: Christopher Amott / Michael Amott]
[Intro – Michael & Christopher]
[Lead – Christopher]
Breathing life into these mares where enemies turn into flesh
This is the abyss I fear the most – I feel their eyes staring at me
Waiting with carnivorous patience, their memory timeless
For all they know I must succumb sometime…
[Lead – Michael]
A solemn cry rises to the sky as heavy wings blacken out
The morning sun with infinite darkness. Am I dreaming or am I dead?
In search for my heart – Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above – Tearing me apart
[Lead – Christopher]
Screaming Voices in my head. A sudden pain then deadly silence
Devouring the remains of my heart – I can feel it dying
[Lead – Christopher]
Picking at the bones of my soul
Left me dead inside
The more I gave the more they took
Left me dead inside
[Lead – Michael]
[Outro – Michael & Christopher]
