Thy Soul Taken 05:28
lyrics

THY SOUL TAKEN A dark childhood, Led you to assess You wanted more, a dark secret to address You grew, and morbid thoughts from nowhere known To realise, your selfish goals alone Seeking the dark ones To make your dreams come real Seeking the dark ones Not knowing what they will steal The years went by, you found ways sublime To conjure up, the enablers darkest fine You did not know the price, that they demand Your preparations reached, the unhallowed time Seeking the dark ones To make your dreams come real Seeking the dark ones Not knowing what they will steal You summoned me, without fear I'll grant thy wishes, what you hold dear Your pale God, remains Forsaken The cost, the price? Thy Soul Taken Fame and riches, now in your grasp A positive life, approaches fast But are you prepared, it's time to pay? The death bed calls, on your judgement day. You summoned me, without fear I'll grant thy wishes, what you hold dear Your pale God, remains Forsaken The cost, the price? Thy Soul Taken

BLACK HEART ON FIRE Marching on through life That has no meaning Marching on through life Towards your pointless end Marching on through life With your head down Marching on through life You no longer can defend Seeking pleasure from pain Never to refrain Burn the bible Become the liar Set Your black heart on fire Seeking pleasure from pain Never to refrain Burn the bible Become the liar Set Your black heart on fire Crawling on through Life An uphill struggle Crawling on through Life As your time slips away Crawling on through Life Planning for Disaster Crawling on through Life To the eternal grave Seeking pleasure from pain Never to refrain Burn the bible Become the liar Set Your black heart on fire Seeking pleasure from pain Never to refrain Burn the bible Become the liar Set Your black heart on fire

UNHOLY BRIDE Bereft of Faith, Alone, afraid Your god betrayed you, left your prayers unpaid And now your heart lies on the edge of a dark abyss Let me envelope your flesh in loves most dark caress Unholy bride Undying, by my side Give your soul to me Fulfil your destiny Alone, together, entwined eternally Our black souls together, are one and damned In my arms you'll die, and live forever All you need to do, is take my hand Unholy bride Undying, by my side Give your soul to me Fulfil your destiny Unholy bride Unholy bride Unholy bride

The Succubus 06:30
lyrics

THE SUCCUBUS After you died, a void opened up inside my soul Now I crave, your love, your touch To fill the empty vessel of my heart with darkest love A letter for Lilith, Blood I light my black candle, its cold, in the early hours A letter of intent, to set my passion free Oh mighty Lilith, hear my call upon you Your daughter please, oh swiftly send A pleasure so arcane Let blood in Lilith's name A letter sealed, a Blood vow The Succubus comes now This dark ritual, almost now, is at an end I lie, await, her dearest, coldest touch Vibrations, Begin to envelope my naked body My pain is forgotten, as I accept My body starts to writhe, in the sweetest rapture I feel complete, hypnotized by lust She duly begins, to feed off of my energy As I die, my pleasure hits its peak A pleasure so arcane Let blood in Lilith's name A letter sealed, a Blood vow The Succubus comes now SOLO

A Place at the Table 05:16
lyrics

A PLACE AT THE TABLE All you wanted was to be a part Of God's great plan, a saviour from the start But his selfish ignorance, and need to control A place at the table was never deemed to hold In defiance, challenged in his court For fairness at the table, you dearly fought But in his might your plan would always fail And you'd be cast down in this fairy tale God the Lord of ignorance Cast you down Put his faith in mankind A place at the table you won't find Vengeance tearing down this world Revenge from Lucifer of old Gods creation, the fall of Man The fall of Man From the underworld you drew your plan For Gods dear children, in the age of Man Tempting them all with your mortal sin The sky is black, God cannot win God the Lord of ignorance Cast you down Put his faith in mankind A place at the table you won't find Vengeance tearing down this world Revenge from Lucifer of old Gods creation, the fall of Man The fall of Man

PAIN OF AN ANGEL I found you there, lying helpless where you fell And gathered you up in my arms A selfish need, to keep you to myself An Angel of my own, to keep and hide away A dark desire A concentric need to Feel the Pain of an Angel It led you here My darkest fear To feel the Pain of an Angel To feel the Pain of an Angel In my home, a secret place to hide away Tied and bound, imprisoned well I'll always cradle you, make love to you Drain you to, empower me in this world A dark desire A concentric need to Feel the Pain of an Angel It led you here My darkest fear To feel the Pain of an Angel To feel the Pain of an Angel SOLO A dark desire A concentric need to Feel the Pain of an Angel It led you here My darkest fear To feel the Pain of an Angel To feel the Pain of an Angel

KNIVES IN ME Knives in me Feel all those Knives in me Knives to be Always Knives in me Knives in me Tranquilized by Modern life Drifting on and on I see the light inside your eyes Just a reflection I try to find a way out But I'm always on my own A glimmer of hope Then the knife is driven home Knives in me Feel all those Knives in me Knives to be Always Knives in me Knives in me Eternally in desperation Hindered by the ones Jealousy so deadly sharp Defeat goes on and on I try to keep my head up But misery finds it's home With the open door Come the daggers that bring me down Knives in me Feel all those Knives in me Knives to be Always Knives in me Knives in me

BEAUTIFUL DEATH Such Beauty I want to be with you forever Always by your side And I'll do whatever it takes.... I lay next to your corpse And softly caress your face Pale white, serene A picture full of grace Forgive me You had to die Forgive me You are so beautiful to me So beautiful to me I talk to you for hours In my head your sweet reply A feeling of such dark romance Just makes me want to die ...to join you on the other side... Forgive me You had to die Forgive me You are so beautiful to me So beautiful to me I have now decided To follow you on, beyond And as i draw my last breath I'll join you in this Beautiful death ...together forever on the other side... SOLO Forgive me You had to die Forgive me You are so beautiful to me So beautiful to me
