1. Black Plague

Hear our cry for vengeance
In a world of greed
Show us that grin of victory

Rising from the shadows
Hiding from the light
Nocturnal creatures of the nigh

The age of darkness dawning
In a distorted shape
There is no shelter, no escape

Twisting the forces of destiny

Mankind is forsaken
Wounded, left to bleed
Due to our sins and for our deed

Legions of destruction
Worship of the blind
Shall seal the doom of human kind

The age of darkness dawning
In a distorted shape
There is no shelter, no escape

Twisting the forces of destiny
Twisting the forces of destiny

Watching from a distance
A fight we cannot win
Facing the evil from within

Madness seized the planet
No one's left to tell
Which crooked road's leading to hell

The age of darkness dawning
In a distorted shape
There is no shelter, no escape

Twisting the forces of destiny
Twisting the forces of destiny
Avoiding the causes by
Twisting the forces of destiny

2. Purgatorio

I am the lie
And the guidance for you lost and empty souls
So pure and violent
Eye for an eye
As a punishment I'm spreading my decease
I damn your life

Through your pain and your woe
I will guide you and show
The vanity of religion

Caught in the eye of the storm
Breaking through the silence
A destiny forced on us all
Out of the ashes I crawl
The good shepherd he guides us all
In purgatorio

I am the light
And I guide you through each day and every night
Astray and silent
A voice from within
Who's hiding in the shadows of mankind
Feeds on despair

Through your pain and your woe
I will guide you and show
The vanity of religion

Caught in the eye of the storm
Breaking through the silence
And destiny forced on us all
Out of the ashes I crawl
The good shepherd he guides us all
In purgatorio

I can't believe this pain inside my bones
A creepy sense bound to explode
My mind is blocked, my brain's on overload
An atom bomb of evil
Are you scared of the truth?
Then just watch me explode
You've chosen this war

Caught in the eye of the storm
Breaking through the silence
And destiny forced on us all
Out of the ashes I crawl
The good shepherd he guides us all
In purgatorio

3. Manimalized

In a shattered world
Hear a distant groan
Darkness everywhere
Am I left here all alone?

Shadows in the night
Hunting to survive
Through the neverland
They're searching for the hive

Lead the way
Tame the fire

Time to arise
Fighting the lies
Strong and disguised
Manimalized

Off the beaten track
Eyes are gazing back
Shivers down my spine
Getting ready to attack

It has tricked me once
It won't trick me twice
Set new comfort zone
Try fool's paradise

Lead the way
Tame the fire

Time to arise
Fighting the lies
Strong and disguised
Manimalized

Lead the way
Tame the fire

Time to arise
Fighting the lies
Strong and disguised
Manimalized

4. Spreading The Dread

Winds – carrying the creeping death
They sweep through the night
And they're coming for you and your friends
Is it your final breath?
There is nowhere to hide
We are dropping like flies from the

Night (Air)
Drawn from the light
Spreading the dread
Fright (Air)
Run for your life
Spreading the dread

Fear – of losing the ones you love
You cry in the night 'til your tears have dried out
And you scream
Hits like a boxing glove
And the pain is so real
When the fever will rage through the

Night (Air)
Drawn from the light
Spreading the dread
Fright (Air)
Run for your life
Spreading the dread
Night (Air)
Drawn from the light

Straight through the fire
Help me I'm burning up
Dreams take me higher
The night will tuck me in

Life – slipping right through my hands
The pain is no more
And my quest will soon come to an end
Lost in the barren lands
It's when death will appear
And you follow his lead in the

Night (Air)
Drawn from the light
Spreading the dread
Fright (Air)
Run for your life
Spreading the dread
Night (Air)
Drawn from the light
Spreading the dread

5. Traitor

I see a nation
Of sin and liars
A revelation for all as we burn

In times of treason
And strong desire
Forgot the reason, a call never heard

Vengeance and defeat have made us strong
Suppression and betrayal serve the madness of it all

The traitor
Your journey starts here, it starts now
Your future is in your hands
And no one shows you how to make it unfold

A sense of evil
A soul forgotten
You blame the demon who's haunting your soul

Fight the oppression
A raging striker
Provoked aggression, the blood of a war

Vengeance and defeat have made us strong
Suppression and betrayal serve the madness of it all

The traitor
The traitor

On the endless path to eternity
We are closing in to our fall
It's a one-way road for humanity
It's the very end for us all

Traitor
The traitor

I am the light
The chosen one
All through your life
I am the traitor

6. Behind Enemy Lines

You tell me I'm a murderer
A beast, a deadly torturer
I do agree that I'm a sinner

You may attempt to hold me back
Tie me to fend off the attack
But it's too late to choke the fire

I bid you welcome to my darkest dungeon
Please come inside and enter the night and...

Die to feel alive
I'm burning inside
Try to read the signs
Behind enemy lines

Look in the mirror, you will know
"Who am I, where am I to go?"
Learning the truth is never painless

The beast has grown, you're all alone
The inner fight has reached the zone
Lies lost in time embrace the shadows

I bid you welcome to my darkest dungeon
Please come inside and enter the night and...

Die to feel alive
I'm burning inside
Try to read the signs
Behind enemy lines

Die to feel alive
I'm burning inside
Try to read the signs
Behind enemy lines

7. Denial

I'm here in the fire
It's what I desire
Don't try to save me 'cause I like the pain
Embracing the darkness
I'm used to it all
I cry myself to sleep

I talk to the devil
He answers my prayers
The deal is forever and the pain is strong
My body's dismembered
It's battered and bruised
I'm ripped and torn apart

When the hope is gone
We will carry on
We rule the kingdom of denial
All is said and done
Nothing can go wrong
The mighty kingdom of denial
Nowhere to go

I'm light on the outside.
But dark on the inside
You will never notice 'cause I hide it well
An inner disorder
Polluting my soul
But life must carry on

When the hope is gone
We will carry on
We rule the kingdom of denial
All is said and done
Nothing can go wrong
The mighty kingdom of denial
Nowhere to go

We're here in the fire
It's what we desire
Don't try to save us 'cause we like the pain
We live in denial
Were blind to the truth
And hide our tears away

When the hope is gone
We will carry on
We rule the kingdom of denial
All is said and done
Nothing can go wrong
The mighty kingdom of denial
Nowhere to go

8. Edge Of Darkness

In the hopeless morning, I hold my breath
And I gaze into the nightmare
A soul black as the night
To control the madness, I'll end the pain
And return soon with a vengeance
My soul drawn from the light

There's a raging war by the edge of darkness
I am fading into obscurity
Eyes wide shut in search of our sanity
Through the endless days – this is The End

I am not a sinner, I'm a saint, so I've been told
I'm resurrected evil, watch me hanging from the rope
I'm sent from beyond, blessing or curse

There's a raging war by the edge of darkness
I am fading into obscurity
Eyes wide shut in search of our sanity
Through the endless days – this is The End

Raging war by the edge of darkness
I am fading into obscurity
Eyes wide shut in search of our sanity
Through the endless days – this is The End

9. The Fear Within

Beyond the shadows of my dreams
There is no shelter only screams
But as the years keep passing
The fear of fear amassing
I turn my face towards the sky
And try to scream the pain away
Away!

I will suffer forever
And embrace

The fear within
The fear within
The fear within

Am I the only one to see
That we have lost the will to be
In search of our salvation
We found only damnation
We had a dream of paradise
But realized it wasn't real

I will suffer forever
And embrace

The fear within
The fear within

The fire is burning
It's burning within
A fire is burning within
Burning in me

I will suffer forever
And embrace

The fear within
The fear within
The fear within
The fear within
The fear within
