Beast Of Man
Music: Michael Amott / Christopher Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott
Lead - Michael
Beware the beast of man
For he's the devils pawn
Alone among god's primates
He kills for sport, lust or greed
The sacred scrolls...
The truth unfolds...
Shun him - or become like him
Shun him - the beast of man
Let him not breed in great numbers
For he will make a desert
of his home and yours
Shun him -
drive him back into his jungle lair
For he is the harbinger of death

The Root Of All Evil
Music: Michael Amott/Daniel Erlandsson
INTRO
the immortal
Music: Michael Amott / Christopher Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott
This liquid vision of euphoria
Living a life on borrowed time
Paying the price of immortality
Desperately avoiding our fate
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn, human dignity dethroned
Forevermore – a life never ending
Time stands still
as the immortals keep on breeding…
The future is locked within us
All we need is the key
Crying at the fountains of youth
Eternal life is killing me
Triumphant in chariots they ride
On this arena of the un-dead
Another lap of honour for the vacant galleries
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn, human dignity dethroned
Forevermore – a life never ending
Time stands still
as the immortals keep on breeding…
Lead – Christopher

diva satanica
Music: Michael Amott / Christopher Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott
Divine queen of evil
Sowing her seeds of hate
Mistress of pain
Diva Satanica - Master of temptation
Medusa... abuser... both beast and beauty
Seducer... she'll use you...
bring you to your knees
Blinded by her infinite beauty
You are lured into the temple
The smell of incense burning
This carnal pleasure yearning
Bride of Satan
Transgress the rules of this world
Too late you realize
This love is ripping you apart
Medusa... abuser...
both beast and beauty
Seducer... she'll use you...
as fodder for her dreams
Drinking the blood, eating the flesh
She's getting high on you
Watching you die, gives her a thrill
...There is always more blood to spill...
Lead – Michael
Lead – Christopher
demonic science
Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott
The human blood is far too thin
The life in it much too fragile
DNA code twisted into form
An ancient dream will now be reborn
Demonic! Science!
A high price for a passion so intense
Demonic! Science!
This world no longer makes any sense
Lead – Christopher
Save the best - strip away the rest
Every weakness,
every bleakness will be erased
New flesh for a new world!
Men in white clothes
performing the ultimate test
This is the era - this is the time
A new dawn arrives...

bury me an angel
Music: Michael Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott dead inside
Music: Michael Amott/Christopher Amott
Lead - Michael Lyrics: Michael Amott

Symbolical and mystical Lead – Christopher

Between life and death we're torn Spiritual Isolation - The ultimate frustration
A constant struggle Scratch the surface, turn another page
The ugly truth or another pretty lie
Like an apocrypha
You deceived me, I believed you
Nobody can be certain Why did everything go...
A thousand days, spent in hell
The ultimate sacrifice So wrong...
Your voyage starts For so long...
With a question mark So the truth comes out at last
But the distant future
I'm dead inside (I'm burning up)
Will not tell
A hollow shell (My private hell)
Bury me an angel In my own misery
Set my black soul free! You leave me to dwell michael amott
Blackened chariots guitars
Bearing evil souls Then we were young and strong
Ride the surface of burning holes Now everything is wrong
Nocturnal…traveller Did you want me, did you need me
Could you not say you believed me? christopher amott
You represent the ruined spirit guitars
Everything we had is gone...
Symbolical and mystical Like an old forgotten song
You shall be damned for all time The deceiver and believer
Lead – Michael Now everything is...

Lead – Christopher
Lead – Michael

So wrong... for so long.

 dark insanity
Music: Michael Amott/Johan Liiva
Lyrics: Johan Liiva
pilgrim
Music: Michael Amott / Christopher Amott
Weak and sick I crawl Lyrics: Michael Amott
In the dust of past mistakes
Leaving for the darkness
Of tears and cold heartaches Lead – Christopher
Suffer in this grief
Of forever burning hate From the womb, to the tomb
The ashes of my life An eternal struggle for the holy truth
By the torment you create We are not the first, nor shall we be the last
We shall be followed by thousands more
On my knees…remembering
Study the scriptures - Intensify the faith
The wasted years of dark insanity
The rage increases fast The works of men much greater than you or I
As the memories eat me alive From the cradle to the grave
God, I wish this to end Thousands of immortal souls just waiting to be saved!
But I'm not prepared to die
No more a human being Pilgrim man - What are you searching for?
Just a fool of anxiety Believe the tales when everything else fails
Unable to escape
Pilgrim man - Deep in your heart you know
The darkest insanity
Your faith is already bought and sold
Lead – Christopher

INSTRUMENTAL
silverwing
Music: Michael Amott /Christopher Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott

Fly with me on a starlit sky

transmigration I'll set you free... Yes, it can be bridge of destiny
macabre Music: Michael Amott
A dream not chased is a life at waste
Never let them conquer your pride
Our love is warm here
Music: Michael Amott / Christopher Amott
Lyrics: Michael Amott

Lyrics: Michael Amott Like the image of a distant sun

Trapped in a downward spiral of pain
Horrific memories, your life flashing by
There is no life left for you to live
You've had your share and more
Act of transfusion - blood child!
Transmigrate into the future or the past
Eternal damnation awaits you my love
In the kingdom of the sick
and the rotting dead
You will suffer excruciating pain
You shall now reap the twisted fruits
Of what you once sowed
Transparent - revealing the lies
Transmutation - What you have become
Act of transfusion - blood child!
Transmigrate into the future or the past
Transmigration macabre
Lead - Michael
Lead - Christopher
This star will always shine
And never, ever fade away
Fly on... Silverwing
Fly with me... Stay free... Silverwing
Seeking truths in spirit skies
Which one will guide me tonight?
The milky way tastes sour,
Has heaven lost its power?
So let us set sail on this sea of dreams
The moon gets lost in the morning sun
Just let the spinning wheel spin
And let your life begin
Lead - Michael Amott
Lead – Christopher
Standing at the bridge of destiny
So long since I tasted fear
Lurking in the darkest holes
Awaiting my minds weakest moment
Old words from an old world
Against the laws of nature
They say the truth is overrated
Wall of anger corrupts my thought
Standing at the bridge of destiny
Show me a sign
On the verge of losing my sanity
Free my soul
My inner demons torture me
Flapping their wings in my face
Damn you! You twisted illusion
I am no longer afraid
See through their liquid souls
Evil eyes that will hypnotize
You can no longer hurt me
I am my own worst enemy
Lead – Christopher
Unleash the trapped
souls of the dead
Spirits since long forgotten
Guardians of the lost faith
Destined for glory?
Watch them all turn into sand
And the wind blow them away
Wisdom pours into my soul
...endlessly...
