Necromancer

I sat alone, dead of a winter's night.
No companion in the darkness but the fire's light..
Upon this foul earth that was once sanctified.
To bear the ones here buried to the other side.
I could feel them beneath me, for undeath they strived.
I could hear their soundless pleading for a second life.
Deep in my bones I knew the time was right.
The clergy slept and there were no crucifixes in sight.
Speaking forbidden words lost to time and
I began to feel a presence altogether separate from mine.
No wood left for burning, but the flames grew high.
The devil showed himself to me, his face was wreathed in fire.
Long ago, the days I chose to be among humanity.
I’ve always wanted to be a Necromancer.
Voices in the flames command me.
When The Devil shouts my name, I answer the call.
My life will never be the same again.
Oh no...
Now I’ve led my nightmares to become afraid of my dreams.
I know I was meant to be a Necromancer.
Lords of the grave, I’m commanding.
When I choose to whisper your name, you answer the call.
I promise you that death is not the end.
I heard his voice, both within and aloud.
He said your soul will belong to me and the dead in the ground.
For I know what you’ve done my son, but don’t you be frightened.
No hell is worse than what already lives in your mind.
Will you beckon in darkness those who follow the light?
Will their bones adorn the ground around the ritual site?
Mastery of death always comes at a price.
All you love reduced to dust before your ageless eyes.
Your life will be endless with no hope of demise.
But you’ll suffer claims upon it made by your own kind.
Your flesh never burning, while the flames grow high.
And you’ll climb down there among them from your funeral pyre.
Long ago, the days I chose to be among humanity.
I’ve always wanted to be a Necromancer.
Voices in the flames command me.
When The Devil shouts my name, I answer the call.
My life will never be the same again.
Oh no...
Now I’ve led my nightmares to become afraid of my dreams.
I know I was meant to be a Necromancer.
Lords of the grave, I’m commanding.
When I choose to whisper your name, you answer the call.
I promise you that death is not the end.
Goodbye my friend, I promise you that death is not the end...

I.
I'm electrified-
Blood-lust senses are burning, I'm coming alive.
I, by the light of the mystic eye.
No longer a slave to the throes of the night.
You're only becoming.
Just changing.
Transforming.
Fear must be left behind.
No love for no master.
I can practically hear your mind.
Search for some new answer now.
I.
I'm a new kind of genocide
I finally blinded the human eye.
Like the splitting of the atom.
I'm the point of no return tonight.
Release me.
Show your face to the crowd.
Release me.
Make your sickness proud.
Blood
Rings like horns in my head.
Death's cold season.
Gaping maw seeping dread.
Come one, come all.
Witness the fall.
My own reflection changed before me.
No-one I know there now.
Inhibitions dissolve before me.
Too late to turn back now.
I have become what I am inside.
I'm incensed and unsanctified.
The very sight of the moon sets my blood alight and I.
I'm electrified.
I'm so god-damn fucking alive.
The final bloody hour then the silence of the end of time.

Psychic Drive

It's been so long.
White padded walls closing in.
Cant remember why.
I know I'm here for something.
I can't remember my name.
I see a stranger in the mirror.
I have the wildest dreams, man.
A woman speaks I barely hear her.
I was on my way.
There was someone I needed to see.
I can't remember the name.
I can't remember my name.
But I know you.
With you I come alive.
You take me for a drive.
And I only see the light.
When you take me for a ride.
You get up inside my brain.
You help to ease the pain.
One snap and I'm yours again.
My driver, yeah!
I'm yours again.
My only friend.
Sometimes I hate you, I don't know why.
Sometimes at night I hear myself cry.
I look at your face and I see my mother.
I look at your face and I see my father.
God damn I fuckin' hate my mother.
God damn I wanna kill my father.
You were right all along.
I'm better off alone.
Psychic driver.
Take me for a ride.
Psychic driver.
Take me for a drive.
Psychic driver .
With you I come alive.
Psychic driver.
Now I know something's changing.
I used to be the golden child.
Can you tell me why you never come 'round anymore?
Or why I'm feeling so reviled?
The pills you're giving me now.
Are not the same as before.
You used to make me fly, man.
But now you don't anymore.
Was it something I said?
Was it something that I could not do?
I tried so fucking hard to do all of the things that you wanted me to.
These hands you tried to control.
Just couldn't take the knife.
I pledged to you my heart and my soul.
But I just couldn't take a life.
With you I come alive.
Please take me for a ride.
I only see the light.
When you take me for a drive.
Get up inside my brain.
Make me yours again.
I gave you everything.
My driver.
With you I come alive.
You take me for a ride.
I only see the light.
When you take me for a drive.
Get up inside my brain.
You help to ease the pain.
One snap and I'm yours again.
My driver.
Psychic driver.

Saint Vitus

I'm willing and able.
My cards on the table
I'm feeling low.
I'm burning with fever.
My pious redeemer.
I can't see you coming.
Won't you lay your ever-loving hands on me?
I'm twisting and shaking.
I dream while I'm waking.
Something's wrong with my soul.
I hear that death will unite us.
I feel that Saint Vitus.
Can't you hear them coming?
Get up out the ground and dance on me.
Black smoke sets my lungs alight.
Bones bleached under cold moonlight.
Come to me.
Set me free.
All I see is disease.
Touch me, please.
All I am is disease.
I feel an ocean of life in your hands.
You placed your faith in god now hear my demands.
Your fingers crack, your soul is in binds.
Join the dance and let me blow your minds.
Come to me.
Set me free.
All I see is disease..
Touch me, please.
All I am is disease.
Get up out the ground and dance on me.
Won't you lay your ever-loving hands on me?
All I am is disease.

Delphi

The more she tells you, the less you know.
Enraptured, captured by the Delphic flow.
Can you give us all the answers?
Can you give us one sign,
The fates are pulling at the end of the line?
Tell me, sweet sister.
Divine transistor.
We bleed for something.
We live for something.
Can you see it?
When we get to the end.
Can you feel it?
Is there anyone left?
Delphi, you're mine.
Give me a sign.
Speak to me.
When it's done is there anyone left?
Can you give us all the answers?
Was it all a lie?
I swear before the gods you'll speak or you'll die.
Reclusive confessor.
Apollonian messenger.
You trick and conspire.
You fraud, you liar!
Can you hear me?
Do you even care?
If I call to the heavens,
Is there anyone there?
Delphi, you're mine.
Give me a sign.
Speak to me.
When I cry to the heavens,
Is there anyone there?
Can you give us all the answers?
I've waited half my life.
Wasted half my life.
Barely had a life.
Tell me seer, did you see this coming?
Speak to me.
Speak to me.
Speak to me.
Delphi.
You could've given them the answers.
If there were any answers.
You should've given them the answers.
If there were any answers left to give.

Nightstalker

Infatuation stalks my mind.
Hidden addiction of the worst kind.
The clouds gathered dark on the day I was born.
the rain turned to piss as from the womb I was torn.
Take the hand of the reaper, give me all that you own.
When the creature that stalks the night comes into your home.
Be in awe, be afraid to die, be nothing at all.
Be a face in a memory I cannot recall.
A miserable fortune fate did weave.
A long suffering line like you wouldn't believe.
But just as the sun shall engulf the Earth.
So the forces that be shall regret my birth.
Take the hand of the reaper, go on and let yourself go.
When the creature that stalks the night comes into your home.
Be in awe, be afraid to die, be nothing at all.
Be a face in a memory I cannot recall.
Take the hand of the reaper.
Take nothing you own.
Depart alone.
Why are you holding on?
What are you clinging to?
It is gone...
See this matter for what it really is.
Rich or poor, young and old.
I will see you through this night so cold.
Weary soul, be atoned.
It seems so strange to me, why fight?
You're going home.
'Human being'
It was all a dream...

I hear sirens calling me.
I fell prey unto the wind.
Sail on crimson majesty.
Turn, turn, wheel of fortune, spin.
Oh, come, my kingdom, come.
And then I will be done.
Tired voyage on the brink.
Eyes want only for to sleep.
Sinking thoughts I could not link.
Fathomed raptures of the deep.
Oh, come, my kingdom, come.
And then I will be done.
Come, my kingdom, come.
Wake me, paradise untold.
Giant phoenix be my wings.
Roll on, chariots of gold.
All rise, hail the king of kings.
Oh, come, my kingdom, come.
And then I will be done.
Shining wizards bring the rain.
Shooting arrows at the sun.
Praise him, for that now he shall reign.
Deaf ears, beat your silent drum.
Oh, come, my kingdom, come.
And then I will be done.
Come, my kingdom, come.
Virgin burned by midnight flame.
I shall never know your name.
I've known blinding war and pain.
Say I, all that’s left’s been said.
Oh, come, my kingdom, come.
And then I will be done.
Oh, come, my kingdom, come.
And then I will be done.
