Blood On Your Hands
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott
You were born your brothers keeper
Why can I see blood on your hands?
You became your 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 brothers keeper
Why can I see blood on your hands?
Their darkness has defeated you
Your lifeline running backwards

The Last Enemy
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott
Fearless on my final quest
Find truth beyond the flesh
Fleeting past my dreams of unfulfilled desire
My strength unwavering
My journey just beginning
A desperate race through the corridors of hell
Chaos emerges
Surrender I will not
The Last Enemy Is Falling
Here I am - To Conquer Death Itself
The Last Enemy Is Falling
Here I stand - To Conquer Death Itself
Funeral silence beneath 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

Surrender I will not

I DON’T KNOW
I CANNOT SEE
WHO WE ARE NOW
HOW WE USED TO BE
IS IT YOU?
OR IS IT ME?
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 ME?
LOOK IN THE MIRROR
JUST A FADING MEMORY

IN THIS SHALLOW GRAVE
Lyrics: Michael Amott
Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott/Daniel Erlandsson
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

Revolution Begins
Lyrics: Michael Amott
Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott
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
Your 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 your way
Lead – Michael
Harmony – Michael & Christopher
This is revolution!

The end is near
Panic is closing in
Sick with fear they run
Watch freedom’s fall
What have we become?
Cannon fodder

Reign of terror
Enslave the nations – devastation!
This is war
Pull the trigger

Watch in horror
Our lives destroyed
We failed

Enslave the nations – annihilation!
This is war - Pull the trigger
One nation out of control

Melody - Michael
A precious child with an innocent mind
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
Melody - Michael
Lead – Christopher
This world’s on fire
Turned it’s back on us
A lost horizon
Left behind
So hopeless and relentless
Falls this remorseless day
The dark reality
Of a hostile world

Night Falls Fast
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
Music: Michael Amott
This earth speaks of darkness
To come in the blood of man
The air breathing poison
All waters 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
Harmony - Michael & Christopher
Lead – Michael
Lead - Christopher
Night falls upon mankind
Pray for the dead
The sky burns red
Like sheer hate
The Great Darkness
Lyrics: Angela Gossow
Music: Michael Amott
A greater darkness, my mind’s possessed
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
Lead - Michael
A far cry from whom I wanted to be
I never found my place, my place nor peace
Lead - Christopher
Vultures
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?
Waiting with carnivorous patience, their memory timeless
for all they know I must succumb sometime…
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
