I'd like a moment to recover, I'd like a moment to be still, I'd like to savour my surroundings, I'd like to be alone. This intermission I would ask you all, a small step from the trodden path, a minor exist from the general view, I'd like to be alone. I ask my leave to be in solitude, to be whisked away from sight, a separation from the multitudes, I'd like to be alone. When I'm alone I hear the silent screams in my forest grown of guilt. When I'm alone I measure all my dreams, all the fantasies I've built. When I'm alone I sing myself to sleep, lying in my bed of truth. When I'm alone I cry myself awake, When I'm alone I think of you, when I'm alone I think of you. I need a moment to recover, I need to take a breath, I need some space from all the others, I want to be alone. I'd like some distance from the masses, I'd like removal from the group, I would escape this world of prying eyes, I need some time alone. I need a second to re-cooperate, a fleeting moment of the blue, I need some time to be alone, my friends, I need some time to think of you, When I'm alone I hear the silent screams in my forest grown of guilt. When I'm alone I measure all my dreams, all the fantasies I've built. When I'm alone I sing myself to sleep, lying in my bed of truth. When I'm alone I cry myself awake, When I'm alone I think of you, when I'm alone I think of you. When I'm alone I hear the silent screams in my forest grown of guilt. When I'm alone I measure all my dreams, all the fantasies I've built. When I'm alone I sing myself to sleep, lying in my bed of truth. When I'm alone I cry myself awake, When I'm alone I think of you, when I'm alone I think of you.

There are moments in between, when I’m awake and when I dream That take me to a place of understanding. There are times that do occur when everything is set ablur. When the madness takes control of my whole being. I am rich beyond design, I am saved before my time, But this monster deep inside it has a hunger. And if you feed me now there will be other times I vow, There will be victims in the wake of my construction. So hold steady on this course, no recovery, no remorse And in this final fracas I kill giants You can speak to me of lies and all those people you despise All those fans you reprimand for just believing. Well I think I’ve had my fill, and yet I know I love you still, But this monster in my mind it won’t stop screaming. I could care less about your dreams, I do not share your self-esteem, I am not the man I used to be I am not breathing My mind is focused in the now and I will contemplate somehow Just how the hell I will stop the bleeding I am rich beyond design, I am saved before my time, But this monster deep inside it has a hunger. And if you feed me now there will be other times I vow, There will be victims in the wake of my construction. So hold steady on this course, no recovery, no remorse And in this final fracas I kill giants I am rich beyond design, I am saved before my time, But this monster deep inside it has a hunger. And if you feed me now there will be other times I vow, There will be victims in the wake of my construction. So hold steady on this course, no recovery, no remorse And in this final fracas I kill giants

There’s a sway in the way, that we look at the world. There’s a sense of suspense, as we watch it unfurl. (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rume) There’s a rise in the tide of moral decay. There’s a dream of a scheme and they want it that way. (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rume) Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rume) There’s a tension, apprehension, that something is wrong. There’s a feeling that the sealing is coming undone. (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rume) There’s a shift in position we don’t understand. There’s a rift, a transition between gods and man. (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rume) Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rume) There’s a place that’s been set, and we’re coming to terms. There’s no subtle unrest, as the world starts to churn. (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rune) It’s a myth in the making, I’m shaking my head. Such a drift, such a breaking, We’d be better off dead. (Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o, Ali Dae-o Ba-rume) Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste Such a time, such a place, such a waste, such a waste

I'm sending out a message I’m taking off my gloves Do you hear the sirens when a push becomes a shove Don’t you see the walls they’re building Can’t you recognize this cage It’s a prison for the people The kings have altered, but nothing changed I peer behind the veil, To see what I could find, I found my courage there, I found my piece of mind. I look beyond those walls, As far as I could see, Your fucking obstacles, they don’t mean shit to me Do you hear the sirens when a push becomes a shove In this veil we do trust, Hidden, but we see, On this vile course we plunge, It’s a sick, sick, sick, society, Under the veil, we live, with the current rule of thumb On this vile course we stay, Together, we shall overcome, I can see behind the veil, I can see behind the veil, I can see behind the veil, I can see behind the veil, I can see behind the veil, I can see behind the veil, This is just a warning for when the system falls apart, The evidence is mounting and our time is running short This is just a feeling for when the walls begin to crash The foundation of our nation begins to peel begins to crack I peer behind the veil, To see what I could find, I found my courage there, I found my piece of mind. I look beyond those walls, As far as I could see, Your fucking obstacles, they don’t mean shit to me Do you hear the sirens when a push becomes a shove In this veil we do trust, Hidden but we see, On this vile course we plunge, It’s sick, sick, sick, society, Under the veil we live, with the current rule of thumb On this vile course we stay, Together, we shall overcome, I peer behind the veil, To see what I could find, I found my courage there, I found my piece of mind.

I don’t want to smack her, I don’t want that blood on my hands, I kind of want to thank her, For helping me to understand, I don’t want to hear that it’s ok, When you know it’s not, my friends. I don’t want to smack her, I don’t want to break my hands. You see I’ve got this anger deep inside. It doesn’t want to let me sleep at night. It resonates this hate I have for life. I’m an angry man, I’m an angry man You see I’ve got this anger deep inside, It doesn’t want to let me sleep at night. It resonates this hate I have for life, I’m an angry man, I’m an angry man You see I’ve got this anger, Cause I don’t want to tell you lies, It kind of makes my head hurt, To have to hear your alibis, I don’t want to say that things are well, 'cause you’ll never understand. You see I’ve got this anger, I’m saying I’m an angry man. You see I’ve got this anger deep inside. It doesn’t want to let me sleep at night. It resonates this hate I have for life. I’m an angry man, I’m an angry man You see I’ve got this anger deep inside. It doesn’t want to let me sleep at night. It resonates this hate I have for life. I’m an angry man, I’m an angry man. I think I’ll have another, 'Cause I don’t want to wait on you, A solitary drinker, A moment I can see right through. I don’t want to hear that things aren’t right. Cause I can plainly see, my friends, I think I’ll have another, It’s a way to tie my ends. Anger, Anger, You see I’ve got this anger deep inside. It doesn’t want to let me sleep at night. It resonates this hate I have for life. I’m an angry man, I’m an angry man You see I’ve got this anger deep inside. It doesn’t want to let me sleep at night. It resonates this hate I have for life. I’m an angry man, I’m an angry man.

In the twinkling of an eye, In the storm of my mind You were there, I’m aware That you stood by my side In the temples of poppycock, Through the portholes of grief There, I lay down Spread eagle, to die In this age of reason, In this spanning of time, You were there, I’m aware, That you stood by my side In this orchestration We sway to the tune, Like a muse, on the mantle Of a worlds pending doom. With visions of ziggurats, Reaching up and on high, You were there, I’m aware That you stood by my side In those fields of Eloheim, Where the Titans were born I spread out, like a starfish. Awaiting the dawn. In this manifestation, We know sufferings rise, You were there, I’m aware You stood by my side In this lamentation, The truth is revealed And I lie, as a corpse In this bracken filled field (CHORUS) The little bright spots Are the stars in the sky We are dead, dead, dead, dead As they die, die, die, die We are all born from nothing, Yet we all long to fly, We are black swans at dawn In a darkening sky. (CHORUS REPEAT)

Look over yonder at the blue bearded star. What portent what power it brings from afar. See my lips form the words, although dry and cracked, this blood is for Caesar, bleeding for Caesar. In this kingdom of dogs we have lost our way. Through both murk and through fog, be it night be it day. From the fingers of Magog watch the legion arise. See the blood turn to water which rains from the skies. This blood spills for Caesar, This blood kills for Caesar Take you this silver and I’ll give you Rome. Tally up the dead, the deceased It’s spreading guilt, oppression, disease. Elysium remains out of reach, here, in these killing fields. This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, This blood is not yours, your bodies’ a slave, To the minds of the masters that bear Caesar’s name. In this field of battle where your brothers lay slain. They are no longer men, but the meat that remains. In the wake of a dream, with a rage in your eyes, with your teeth clenched in anger and hate on your tongue. Here in these fields Rome takes its toll. You will find the silver that purchased your soul. This blood spills for Caesar, This blood kills for Caesar Take you this silver and I’ll give you Rome. Tally up the dead, the deceased It’s spreading guilt, oppression, disease. Elysium remains out of reach, here, in these killing fields. This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, Like the slaughter of pigs they will die by your sword. At the whim of his breath, Caesar controls. Forged by an empire. Centurion Hail. For the gods you will march, and for Caesar prevail. For pieces of silver you sacrificed all. Marked as a Roman for Caesar you fall. In fields of iron, coliseums of stone, this is the Empire, you’re bleeding for Rome. This blood spills for Caesar, This blood kills for Caesar Take you this silver and I’ll give you Rome. Tally up the dead, the deceased It’s spreading guilt oppression disease Elysium remains out of reach, Here, in these killing fields. This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar, This Blood for Caesar,

I am a witch, I am the wrath, I bring the suffering Bestower of strife, the mother of grief, malefic and smothering I am a ghost, I am the void, I exist in the nothing I am the hope, lost in the dark, eclipsed and devouring I am the myth, I am the rise, I am the fall The coming transition, the hallucination between what's right and what's not The remnants of past, that fable of old, the end that's undone I am the myth, fragments of lore, a legend begun I am a god, I am the truth, I bring the agony I am the law, and the lines in-between, that rule over misery I am as grey, between black, between white, I permeate everything I am despair, the brother of guilt and I condemn all of you (CHORUS) I am the myth, I am the rise, I am the fall The coming transition, the hallucination between what's right and what's not The remnants of past, that fable of old, the end that's undone I am the myth, fragments of lore, a legend begun (CHORUS)

Let us dine on the wine of our passions, Feast on the fruits of our flesh, I dance alone and in darkness, Embrace the ambiance of the death. The cross on my neck is a token, The thorns on my arm, just decor, But the blood on my lips is for real, Come closer if you want something more. This Vampire's kiss that you laid upon me, This moment of bliss, which was shed by the light, A trifle, you said, as I slowly descended, Far from the world and into the night. I'm not afraid, but I am not fearless, I was not made, of majiks and sighs, One taste of your lips, and my eyes which were tear-less, Flood rivers of yearning to be at your side. I drank in your gaze, hypnotic with purpose, I drew through this haze, a vision of love. You took from my soul and delivered a surplus, Of ashes and dust, and darkness and blood. You cast me aside, like a mouthful of ashes, You spat on my pride, and laughed at my tears. I curse you today, and for life ever after, As you wither away, you shall disappear. The cold, this disease, the dirt and the darkness, Repels those I'd known, fills them with horror. Repugnant I roam, expelled by the faceless, In the eyes of the sleeping I would feast on their souls. I hear the heartbeat of those that are breathing, I see the blood course through their veins. I smell the fragrance of fear that leaves traces, Of wanton desire, lust and betrayal. This hunger I have is beyond any craving, The strength in my veins lies dormant and bare, and so here I lie in this bed of a shadow, plotting, and scheming, and planning with care. Like a prisoner caged in a cell made of midnight, The poison of dawn veers my intent. Tenebrarum, my mother, lies in the darkness, Aware that I build a foundation of hate. You cast me aside, like a mouthful of ashes, You spat on my pride, and laughed at my tears. I curse you today, and for life ever after, As you wither away, you shall disappear. I drank in your gaze, hypnotic with purpose, I drew through this haze, a vision of love. You took from my soul and delivered a surplus, Of ashes and dust, and darkness and blood. You cast me aside, like a mouthful of ashes, You spat on my pride, and laughed at my tears. I curse you today, and for life ever after, As you wither away, you shall disappear. You cast me aside, like a mouthful of ashes, You spat on my pride, and laughed at my tears. I curse you today, and for life ever after, As you wither away, you shall disappear. You cast me aside, like a mouthful of ashes, You spat on my pride, and laughed at my tears. I curse you today, and for life ever after, As you wither away, you shall disappear.
