The Deluge
 

               DEMENTIA

               Blue fire
               Branding the thoughts
               Desire,
               Light of the lost.

               Unholy dreams,
               Demented schemes
               Inside the mind
               Can´t seem to find
                The key.

               Bloodlust
               Inside the heart;
               Vicious - -
               Rip you apart.

               Unholy dreams,
               Demented schemes
               Inside the mind
               Can´t seem to find
                The key.
 
 

               SHADOW IN THE BLACK

               Place that is not a place
               Vortex of fire The Gateway
               To all the outer planes
               Where life´s own Magic mountains
               Circle beyond all time
               Feeding The Tree with white light
               Demons in dark disguise
               Shall never break The Lifeline

               Before The Throne
               Demon of wrath
               Not flesh nor bone
               A shadow in the black

               Cryptic The Spiral Way
               Even so in this space-age
               Leaving rectors dismayed
               Seeking out wisdom´s daybreak
               Hidden by dark of night
               Not even seen by hindsight
               Spectre who plagues the mind
               Of Bards inside the limelight

               Before The Throne
               Demon of wrath
               Not flesh nor bone
               A shadow in the black

               Nightmare like is the unknown
               Demon seed guarding The Throne
               Test of faith probing The Soul
               Eight fold way of paying the toll

               (CHORUS)

               Frost, from beyond the grave
               Fire, to burn us the way
               Rock, the strength of The Soul
               Fight, this shadow of old
               Here inside The Maze
               Trinity of Flame
               As the lightning cracks
               We banish the shadow in the black

               Holy war and righteous crusades
               Like burning Witches at the stake
               Narrow minds will never believe
               Until The Dead rise from The Sea

               (CHORUS)
 
 

               DIVINE VICTIM

               Hail to the Queen
               Of Victory
               Her holy war was England´s shame
               She was no fiend
               Of heresy
               Put to the death by evil´s flame

               (CHORUS)

               Another victim
               Of Christianity
               Ecclesiastic fire from Hell
               Divine the victim
               No sanctuary
               Her sacred soul she would not sell

               Faithful her ways
               Through all her days
               Enlightened child of Tree and Stone
               Born of the slaved
               All France she saved
               Conquering Angels of Orleans

               (CHORUS)
 
 

               HAMMER OF THE WITCHES

               Hammer of Hell
               Not of The Well
               A book of sin
               Fathered by men
               Unholy deeds
               Done out of greed
               Murder by law
               In the Name of God

               Burn them all
               Burn them all
               Burn them all

               The blood runs cold
               We´ve paid the toll
               They burned the truth
               Out of our youth
               Bringers of pain
               In the Father´s name
               Not of The Well
               We´ll send them back to Hell

               And burn them all
               Burn them all
               Burn them all
 
 

               MORBID TABERNACLE

               (Instrumental)
 
 

               ISLE OF THE DEAD

               Across the seas of nevermore
               There lies the ancient bloody shore
               Where living dead still walk the land
               Demon warriors of the damned

               The fires burn blood red
               Upon the Isle of the Dead

               The mariners still tell the tale
               Of the island gate to Hell
               Where sinners of the seven seas
               Live out the curse of blasphemy

               The fires burn blood red
               Upon the Isle of the Dead

               Black gate to Nifleheim
               The Bells of Hell still chime
               Judgement beyond the grave
               Condemns their souls to burn in flames

               The fires burn blood red
               Upon the Isle of the Dead
 
 

               TAKEN BY STORM

               Black horizon
               Darker than night
               The Forest echoes
               Tales of the fight

               A Holy Warchild
               Come to The Stone
               To worship wisdom
               Usurp The Throne

               Fire in his eyes
               Like flames of war
               Burning the skies
               Taken by storm

               Armies of Hell
               Devouring life
               Knights of The Well
               Stand strong and fight

               On nightmares´ wings
               Atland shall die
               The Tyrant King
               Opens The Eye

               Black Magik steel
               Come to the land
               Sons of The Wheel
               Make their last stand
 
 

               THE DELUGE

               I. Eye of the Sea

               Lost from memory
               Plato´s tragedy
               Few are left that believe
               In the land of mystery

               To all shores they did flee
               Warned in time by The Priests
               Atlantis´ key
               The Eye of the Sea
 

               II. The Drowned Lands

               From the depths of the ocean
               Came the spawn of the deep
               From the wratch of Poseidon
               Tritons rose from the sea

               Fire and rain from the Heavens
               Triton waves rose to the sky
               Split asunder by Poseidon
               For opening The Sacred Eye

               Land of all wonders
               Engulfed by the waves
               Where pyramids first rose
               And sank to their graves

               Isle of our fathers
               Founder of our ways
               Now lost to the oceans
               And blue corral caves

               Valusia´s great Trident
               Thrust into the land
               Collapsing what once was
               By Poseidon´s hand

               Flood of destruction
               Remembered by all
               Though most have forgotten
               Atlantis´ Fall
 

               III. Engulfed Cathedral

               “After me, The Deluge”
 
 

               FRICTION IN MASS

               Feeling the pain
               Inside this tortured frame
               Scrying the past
               Visions in broken glass
               Riding The Wave
               To bring back The Ancient Ways
               Rune Spells be cast
               Dark secret of Holy Mass
               Oh can´t you tell
               The Magik is inside The Well

               The Triad´s flames
               Doth cover all the planes
               Fight to the last
               Be more than war Friction in Mass

               Black hail and rain
               Nightmares outside the brain
               Unholy wrath
               Friction that lights The Path
               Knights of the Flame
               Defenders in Odin´s name
               Life comes to pass
               The Magik of Hallowmas
               Oh can´t you see
               The Fire is inside of thee

               The Triad´s flames
               Doth cover all the planes
               Fight to the last
               Be more than war Friction in Mass

               Sacred Laws of old
               And ancient spells
               Are never lost to those
               Born of The Well
               The icey wastes of home
               Bred into me
               A taste for the unknown
               A hate for blasphemy
               The waters of The Lake
               Purify The Soul
               But wisdom of The Fates
               Always has its toll
               The Fires of Mars have burned
               Inside of thee
               The tides shall soon be turned
               By destiny
               Evil lords of war
               Drunk on virgin blood
               Ram through the door
               Letting loose The Flood
               Titons rise again
               Gorgons of Light
               The wars now begin
               ´Tis time to fight

               Warriors rise from the grave
               Longships sailing The Wave
               Bloodshed on every shore
               Friction massing from war

               Knights of The Flame
               Rise from the grave
               Fight to the last
               Friction In Mass

               Too wild to tame
               Setting the world ablaze
               Bards of the craft
               Burning the midnight wax
               Breaking the chain
               Avenging the wrongly slain
               Lords of The Axe
               Servants of Candlemas
               Oh can´t you see
               The Magik is inside of thee.
 
 

               REST IN PIECES
