Habakkuk
Why oh God, why?
All this violence...all this hate.
Where are You in this darkness?
Why hide Your Face?
Our life is destroyed, our people lost.
Why, why oh God why?
Bones of the martyrs, cries from the desert.
Can you hear us? Save us from the pit.

GREY CHAOS

GREY CHAOS
They’re bracing for a melt-down
Bad connection, fading vision
Engineers breaking a code
Revelations of chaos
The end and the beginning
Et lux in tenebris lucet
The arrogant bending minds
Self righteous ones, no reception
The rejected understand
Not knowing—a door to truth?
The journey—the destiny?
Et lux in tenebris lucet

UNLAWFUL TRIBUNAL
03:55
|
|||
|
Unlawful Tribunal
Whitewashed tombs and scattered bones
Ancient rites for homeless nomads
Lone Wolf looking for his home
All the names on a plaster wall
Deliberations in temple halls
Take your place and light a votive
Martha, Martha what is the motive?
-search your heart
-shed a tear
-the storm is coming
-we shall not fear
R/ All our lives we seek that which is hidden
Angels lead us to be forgiven
Crown of Thorns, a Royal Priesthood
Author of life on a Throne of Wood
Humble Servant crushed the serpent’s head
Madmen and traitors live by the sword.
Wait until dawn, the rulers fall
A brainwashed crowd, waits for the call
From the palace they think they won
But Truth has come, an Only Son
On a Veil the face of Love
Through the dark sky, behold a dove

HIDE THE GHOST
03:53

Hide the Ghost
Another old soul lost
The smell of Jasmine in the air
Melting visions, fractured mind
Ring for service, call for heaven
Ooh ooh...mystery consumes us
Hide the Ghost
Burn the diary
Sorrowful entries
Fragile moments and scattered hope
Ooh ooh
Frailty takes over
Despair enters the room
The Bishop sends a healer
Last Rites for a fading dream
Why all these penitents?
Why this moment now?
Take my hand, my Beloved
My all...

THE DRACULA EFFECT

|
|||
|
The Dracula Effect
I saw them coming
Heard their twisted chants
Marching towards oblivion
Rotting carcasses and shallow graves
R/ Hatred kills the dawn...
They feed us to the lions
Zombie warlords dance
Collective madness consumes us
Here come the horsemen
Take back the dawn

DICTATORS AND HOLY FOOLS
04:04
|
|||
|
Dictators and Holy Fools
The merchants of deception pitch their tents
Caravan of e-zombies and other lost souls
Mystics and Holy Fools unveil a Truth
Shock troopers take down a bewildered crowd
Celebrities and dictators feast on a beast
Come here you weary
Find solace in silence
Come here you downcast
Find a new voice
Avoid the plastic agents
Away with v-idols
Frozen from inside
The jester is playing foul
Paranoia – the new normal
Cyborg shamans and cosmetic narcosis
Beware...it’s all coming down
It’s all over
All worlds collapse
Angelic army
Destroy the wall of illusions
It’s all over

EYE FOR A LIE
04:41
|
|||
|
Eye for a Lie
Eye for a lie
Truce for a crowd
Shadows from the past
Poets sell tomorrow
Chasing nightmares
Eye for a lie
R/ World Inside
“What can we know?”
Serpent in a garden
Knowledge escapes
Gnostic Gorilla
Seeks the Divine
Eye for a lie
R/ World Inside
“What can we know?”

CARAVAN OF LOST SOULS
03:55

-Caravan of Lost Souls-
Another battle
Another day
The Queen is fleeing
Welcome a stray
Fading in the streets
No one will miss us
Respecting the old code
A banal brand of justice
...Caravan of Lost Souls...
So many faces
So many fragile souls
They wander aimless
Another dream they stole
They understand
It’s never as it seems
Survival and passion
So raw, so mean
