The Oblivion 04:16
A lifetime ago or so it seems Innocent, heartfelt, incomplete The foul words and vicious themes With no compassion and no retreat In a dream with no law I received the note and it gave the spark On the moss I saw The charcoal coat, your feathers shone in the Dark Are you dead or Alive Fly black woodpecker fly The unclarity, The years to come Filled with fear or hate to tame My brittle heart, No place to run The fiery passion of the lovers’ game Time will fleet, I’m forlorn And the days are gone, waning life I mark As to die we were born I believe I know, you will wait in the Dark Are you dead or Alive Fly black woodpecker Fly I received a note, It gave the spark Black feathers shone in the dark The days are gone, The life I mark (Are you dead or alive) And you will wait in the dark I'm still obsessed by the one The one I want to make mine The one I want to make mine (Fly black woodpecker fly) Still the bird will fly I’m still obsessed by the one I love The one I want to make mine Before my solitude engulfs me And the bird of the evenfall Takes me to the oblivion (Dark) A lifetime ago or so it seems The foul words and vicious themes In a dream with no law (Are you dead or alive) On the moss I saw The unclarity, The years to come My brittle heart, No place to run Time will fleet, I'm forlorn (Fly black woodpecker fly) As to die we were born I received a note, It gave the spark Black feathers shone in the dark The days are gone, The life I mark (Are you dead or alive) And you will wait in the dark I'm still obsessed by the one The one I want to make mine The one I want to make mine (And the bird will fly) Still the bird will fly

The light has gone We’ve killed the swan The words left unsaid The darkness widely spread I’m like the mother of the infant child you bear inside And you can’t provide You jump off the deep end I’ll pay the price Bend once again now to your will, I must obey This full inanity Feeds my insanity Agony, The road I roam leads me astray There’s a place on the hill where I’m going Every night to survive from the fight To make a wish to the wind that is blowing Knowing that two wrongs won’t make it right If the face of a stranger can make your Little heart feel again for a while Give a chance for yourself: Heal the sore You’re still alive because the dead don’t smile They do not smile The dead don’t smile The leap of fate I have to take The pain won’t abate Unless I slay the snake I’m barely safe and sound In hate I nearly drowned All the things you lied to me, You don’t recall I need to dream again Walk on now with the stain Be proud of who I am. Say: I will not crawl There’s a place on the hill where I’m going Every night to survive from the fight To make a wish to the wind that is blowing Knowing that two wrongs won’t make it right If the face of a stranger can make your Little heart feel again for a while Give a chance for yourself: Heal the sore You’re still alive because the dead don’t smile (The dead don't smile) They do not smile The dead don’t smile

Here underneath The darkest northern sky In wilderness I wail and I cry When the longship Sails to the barren shore The frailest heart is ardent once more Freyja The offerings I gave to her She did forget But the battle isn’t over yet Lay down your swords The axe, the spear you hold towards My bleeding heart that won’t run dry My redhead warrior Redhead warrior My redhead warrior From a distance I see your smiling face The cuts and scars that heighten your grace The feast begins and she will meet you there The solitude and pain is my share Freyja The offerings I gave to her She did forget But the battle isn’t over yet Lay down your swords The axe, the spear you hold towards My bleeding heart that won’t run dry My redhead warrior (Freyja) Redhead warrior (Freyja) My redhead warrior (Freyja) Lay down your swords The axe, the spear you hold towards (Freyja) My bleeding heart that won’t run dry My redhead warrior

Light in dark folded The pledge getting weaker I’m failed, I’m dead Pain when I’m breathing The silent secrecy thus fatal If I hold on to the past The sand in the hourglass will run too fast And I can see you’re not afraid There’s not much more to say Not much more to do for us today Now who will fall For someone like me Hate you inflicted on (Inflicted on) Hope with the signs, I dream Did you take heed of my wishes? Did you hearken to my heart? Whatever I thought I could find does not exist The silent secrecy thus fatal If I hold on to the past The sand in the hourglass will run too fast And I can see you’re not afraid There’s not much more to say Not much more to do for us today And I can see you’re not afraid There’s not much more to say Not much more to do for us today

The seven The seven Let's do the math The seven Don't cast aside now Let's do the math The seven Don't cast aside now The seven The seven Don't cast aside now Let's do the math The seven

In a grey callous hole An idle revel with fires The celestial pole Darkened by the pyres Soon there’s no cure A void in the ruins we find No one is pure In the treason of the mankind End of the life The death of your heart and your soul Doom of the morality As you will see Deprave The paradise enclave End of the life We will kill them all We will kill them all The malice is mere The child of the shame and the doubt The reign of the fear One by one we play them out End of the life The death of your heart and your soul End of the life We will kill them all We will kill them all We will kill them all

Lie down on her bed The siren calls The sight would wake the dead The strongest falls This sad life I damn My heart’s pierced with a pin She is everything, I am The worthless waste of skin The ruins of my little life Flash before my eyes You are the thorn in my side Rife affection in disguise Shattered, broken is my voice Kill me for I am done I would never be your choice I will never be the one I cast no shadow And disappear The image won’t let go I feed my fear The siren is undressed The darkness hides the sin Beautiful maiden sighs blessed I’m what the cat dragged in The ruins of my little life Flash before my eyes You are the thorn in my side Rife affection in disguise Shattered, broken is my voice Kill me for I am done I would never be your choice I will never be the one I place the blame on me Ashamed of my own face There is no remedy For this foul disgrace The ruins of my little life Flash before my eyes You are the thorn in my side Rife affection in disguise Shattered, broken is my voice Kill me for I am done I would never be your choice I will never be the one

Dim the lights now You’ll leave the stage For the last time you will bow Inside the golden cage The pack you disband They hate the things you’ve done The hangman by the bar stand Provides you with a gun But I will never let you down Or claim your crown Give a smile that in the end is nothing but a lie With every mournful note you play My heart you slay But all the same I am for you Never say die With the fools now I won’t debate The pointless fray anyhow The haters gonna hate My inspiration The reason why I breathe Even at your weakest You wear the silver wreath And I will never let you down Or claim your crown Give a smile that in the end is nothing but a lie With every mournful note you play My heart you slay But all the same I am for you Never say die Never say die (Say die) Never say die (Say die) Never say die (Say die) Never say die And I will never let you down Or claim your crown Give a smile that in the end is nothing but a lie And I will never let you down Or claim your crown Give a smile that in the end is nothing but a lie With every mournful note you play My heart you slay But all the same I am for you Never say die

The Seven 03:06
Let’s do the math The envy and the wrath Don’t cast aside The sloth and the pride Now You must abide this ruthless ride They will not hide Desires’ emporium The seven is their name The seven rule the game Desires’ emporium You can’t have more You have them all You have to feed The gluttony and the greed The last but not least The lust joins the feast Now You must abide this ruthless ride They will not hide Desires’ (desires') emporium (emporium) The seven is their name The seven rule the game Desires’ (desires') emporium (emporium) You can’t have more You have them all Desires’ (desires') emporium (emporium) You can’t have more You have them all

Pale Heart 04:32
Fate broke the ties Of the silver cord One more demise You can’t afford The hopeless wrath And the silent yearn Placed on the path For you to learn Slow down pale heart Sleep in peace The dawn will come The pain will cease The meadows of Silence in the mist The mirth and love Do not resist The flock will rise The starlings will return To serene blue skies With no concern Slow down pale heart Sleep in peace The dawn will come The pain will cease Slow down pale heart Sleep in peace The dawn will come The pain will cease Slow down pale heart Sleep in peace The dawn will come The pain will cease
