MARY – Sands Of Time
All my life I indulged
A time of sin and lechery
Now I pay the price for this wickedness
And burn under the sky
A miserable existence
The solitude embraces my whole world
Skin gets broiled, flesh is melting
Decades passing by
Waiting for the end
The lion hauls me, this is the last path I take
Ushered to the grave
The lion hauls me, a journey through sands of time
All senses slither out of my veins
Slowly crawling forward
Steps away from liberating darkness
Fusing in the soil
Waiting for the end
The lion hauls me, this is the last path I take
Ushered to the grave
The lion hauls me, a journey through sands of time
Withered, depleted, no strength to carry on
Never forget my sacrifice
All regrets are far away
Memories of ancient dreams
Drowning in raging grounds
Swallowed by sands of time
lifetime of grief is over
swallowed by sands of time

CATHERINE - Desecrate The Purity
debate with the pagans
destroy all their faith
convincing the infidels
The soil soaked with blood
The stakes will burn, enlightened nights
tortured and racked by a scourge
confined, detained, tormented by hunger
Surrounded by carnage
drowning in evil dread
sentenced to suffer
Spoil! Wreck! Slay the heathen!
The wheel is crushed by the grace of God
Tear away! Save the maiden!
Justice rains from a cinder blackened sky
Prayers will be heard and nemesis rises
cut down the converts
Defiled and abased, pitch-black abysses of the human soul
Redemption, there’s no mercy
Decapitation, final salvation, tears will cure the misery
Spoil! Wreck! Slay the heathen!
The wheel is crushed by the grace of God
Tear away! Save the maiden!
Justice rains from a cinder blackened sky
Pure white light sheds on the ground
The vale of tears has reached its end
Spoil! Wreck! Slay the heathen!
The wheel is crushed by the grace of God
Tear away! Save the maiden!
Justice rains from a cinder blackened sky
Tear away! Save the maiden!
Justice rains from a cinder blackened sky

Thousands of souls kept in a hold
Like coffins on the open seas
all hope seems to fade
and beared away
Tossed by the waves
Disaster looms
The shores were drowned in innocence, unveiling insanity
As it all goes down into the deep – washed away
The air seems to roar
when the arrow leaves the arch
Shots down the crown
Without flinching, without grace
Refusal torn apart while gazing on the outcome
Ordeal is done
No soul will be left
The shores were drowned in innocence, unveiling insanity
As it all goes down into the deep – washed away
There's no place to hide
fury takes its course
Causing havoc without mercy, feeding the bloodshed
Silence will remain forever
The shores were drowned in innocence, unveiling insanity
As it all goes down into the deep – washed away

MARGARET
Stuck in a running circle
her dreams just turned to grey
becoming a mere shadow of her former self
No confidence is left
Forgotten by the hope
The struggle tore her into pieces now she is left alone
Haunted by solitude and slain by the distress
forlorn and wretched, unable to persist
She stumbles through the pattern
no place where she belongs
blindfold she’s falling into despair
wolfed by the wyvern
all hopes abandoned
constricted in this sphere
completely disintegrated
the noose is tightening
any motivation’s gone
Crushed by the absence of light
the blanket next is cold as ice
Can’t bask in affection
The noise is drowned in emptiness between these walls
Slave away for others
Harrassed and exploited
The puppet strings will never, will never stop to move
Escaping into apathy
serenity is lost
she went astray and looses ground beneath her feet
Rescued by the dragon
deceitful plans await
ghost lights lead her into the gorge
wolfed by the wyvern
all hopes abandoned
constricted in this sphere
completely disintegrated
the noose is tightening
any motivation’s gone
Crushed by the absence of light
embraced and drowned
descending, redemption is near
the way of misery is drawing to a close
the demise welcomes her with his arms wide open
deliverance

LUCIA - Extinct The Gleam
Dawn is rising, it‘s what we are made for
We capture the light and reveal all perdition
Thinking that you could live without us is a bad mistake
Shadows will be your eternal companion
Are we worth nothing?
You lead our way into the dark
Not even a glance left!
Gouged out… and torn apart! Without remorse!
Enter into a deep realm of darkness
Never able to embrace the world
Losing our purpose, left-behind to rot in endless hell
Fate is chosen, there is no turning back
Are we worth nothing?
You lead our way into the dark
Not even a glance left!
Gouged out… and torn apart! Without remorse!
The tears drip to crimson
Sapphires washed in blood
Betrayed and displayed
for nothing but a statement
You won’t stay alive
Conviction will follow

BARBARA
Father, I got so many questions
Are we all gods? Are we almighty?
Why do we pray with profane rites and worship to the wrong idols?
There are so many concerns
I’m feeling something in between my weak flesh and my willing spirit
My soul awakens
Caught inside these walls, imprisoned by drab stones, die by your hand!
Enforcement liberates me, ready for the stroke, I die by your hand!
Just like a stranger, despised for my convictions, abandoned for independence of mind
My saviour appealed and healed my wounds, refusing these constraints, a mist arises.
I’m far away from this world, take my torch and walk through the obscurity.
When the edge falls down, burned to death
Choosing my own destiny, waiting for remission
Caught inside these walls, imprisoned by drab stones, die by your hand!
Enforcement liberates me, ready for the stroke, I die by your hand!
Your Hand, don’t leave me,
surrendered in your boon,
look down upon me,
without you, i’m nothing
Caught inside these walls, imprisoned by drab stones, die by your hand!
Enforcement liberates me, ready for the stroke, I die by your hand!

SOPHIA
Take my advice and renounce your vow
or my vengeance will hunt you down
annihilation of your blood, extinction of your offspring
Fuel the fire and fan the flames
the iron grating will persuade
roast their flesh and burn their souls, until they revoke
I force you to give it up! – behead the virtues
Can’t you see, you’re doing wrong!
“Faith” is tortured,
“Hope” is lost,
“Love” will die at last,
your wisdom leads astray
Sacrifice an offer to my lord
and the torment will end right now
The longer you remain adamant, death will prevail
Bow their heads beneath the blade
Justice strikes, you will obey
As red as scarlet, drenched in blood, this is your downfall
I force you to give it up! – behead the virtues
Can’t you see, you’re doing wrong!
“Faith” is tortured,
“Hope” is lost,
“Love” will die at last,
your wisdom leads astray
A mourning silence, dwell in the tomb
Your wisdom leads into the grave
“Faith” is tortured,
“Hope” is lost,
“Love” will die at last,
your wisdom leads astray
Behead the virtues

LILITH - The 11th Commandment
I am the storm, the ruler of tempest
Queen of the night, mistress of darkness
Mother of evil, driven by lust
Spirit of eternal freedom
You denied equality, claimed your right to be superior
I leave you back in solitude and mortality
I am the tree, the force of nature lies within me,
branches carry the skyline, roots dig into the underworld
you can't keep up with me
no cage can ever lock this mind away
all efforts were in vain
You denied equality, claimed your right to be superior
I leave you back in solitude and mortality
Owls howling in the twilight
announcing your demise
an endless abyss takes your soul
banned from the light
dispelled from the land
your choice
Owls howling in the twilight
announcing your demise
an endless abyss takes your soul
turning away
leaving you behind
good bye, farewell
