A rising force of nature a storm of stone and fire Rocking all the island a mountain brought to life Emerging from the ashes claiming she’d foreseen A face in the earth’s opening a mouth for man to feed See the serpent sister rise with red circles round her eyes Receiving gifts of silver, offerings of gold She takes them up the hillside but she must go alone Trusted by her people to treat with holy powers They’ll fear the earth’s fury if ever she expires When the serpent sister dies paint black circles round her eyes Pale is her skin but fires burn within her Controlling their fate… now fading away Fear dwells in their hearts See the serpent sister rise with red circles round her eyes When the serpent sister dies paint black circles round her eyes

Blazing forges beneath the surface pushing smoke in the southern sky Inside an orb of fire a newborn in the underworld will rise Changing the weather and burning grounds releasing chaos all around From below awakening darkness that will come to know no bounds An endless spiral towards the abyss We hold the power to engage turning hatred into rage suck the blood out of your wounds as we light up the ember The cauldron swells with horrid things a sign of what the future brings Behold the underworld in bloom as we light up the ember of doom Devious stench of a giant’s breath alluring fools to a certain death Fates are sealed incarcerated demons set free from their crypts The last of mankind standing tall but the bravest too must fall Cryptic visions turning real as flames eat flesh in dragon’s form Spiraling upward towards the clouds We hold the power to engage turning hatred into rage suck the blood out of your wounds as we light up the ember The cauldron swells with horrid things a sign of what the future brings Behold the underworld in bloom as we light up the ember of doom

Echoes 04:09
Shadows swaying dancing on the dungeon walls guide me deeper A lunge into darkness as the ceiling cracks The way is shut for good behind my back gathering myself on the stone cold floor I feel their presence stronger than before In a distance their voices are now clear It must be what I feared Shadows swaying dancing on the dungeon walls guide me deeper I hear voices echo in the lower halls as I move further Rumors of this cavern were so wild I felt intrigued to find what hides inside Creeping down the stairs I close my eyes in these halls awaiting my demise Always watching the eyes ever glare in the dark A hand of shadow wrapping tighter around my heart Footsteps closing in picking up in pace And I may never leave this place Shadows swaying dancing on the dungeon walls guide me deeper I hear voices echo in the lower halls as I move further down Her words echo in my head Stay out of that god damn dungeon or you’ll end up dead Shadows swaying dancing on the dungeon walls guide me deeper I hear voices echo in the lower halls as I move further down

In the haunted depths of the sea an unknown presence moves Otherworldly creatures gather in masses tails and hooves A calm before the storm as we’re waiting for the end of days to begin What lies beneath the sea should be left in peace But you pulled all of us in (oh yeah!) You must now face that which you have awoken Moon high above welcomed you to test your forces Raising the sea a disgraceful act of sorcery Have you not heard what the old wise men have spoken You must have known that the last seal would be broken You must now face that which you have awoken

Seeking endlessly a mind of turmoil unfolds Birth of man and moon and the ethereal essence In your dreams you’ve seen the path that leads you up here Move in secrecy and you will find your answers Come closer, show yourself, here we are one Scriptures in ancient writing Read out the sacred rites Bringing forgotten wisdom to life Mysteries will unveil in this secret sanctum All that lies beyond the spheres of earth and ocean Terrors tear your sleep but for the higher purpose You will find your way and grow in stature Forged in the holy fires Blessed in a maze of light Embracing the thought it all will be mine Marching towards your calling Witness the world in ruin Vowing to bring them all down in time Come closer, united, one with the void Forged in the holy fires Blessed in a maze of light Embracing the thought it all will be mine

The captain went down with the ship (hail to the glorious dead) The captain stood aboard when the big wave hit (storm of their deadtime) Into the blue the mutinous crew sank with their boats when the storm ran through To hell with them all! he cried, and to hell with the ship! He went down with the ship The captain went down with the ship (hail to a man of honor) He dedicated his life to the seven bloody seas (oh, but he’s dead now) Fates turned when a row with his men ensured he’d never ever row with his men To each their own! But it’s my bloody ship! He went down with the shiiiiiip

The price you would pay to have me killed A cutthroat blade or fire at will The gold in your pouch is worth your soul (soul… soul…) What would you give to feel secure? Old saints and angels dare not show their face around here Murderers, thieves and pirates only have their own to fear Footprints in the sand may lead you to a bloody chase A flash of knives in moonlight an attempt to wealth and grace Run in circles, hide in shadows, wait for the dawn to arrive Crave for soothing daylight for in darkness you are mine Resting in the shade of trees how would you ever know If the one who finds you is a friend and not a foe Bearing yearlong grudges in the name of foolish pride A handful of them silver coins can save your petty life Run in circles, hide in shadows, wait for the dawn to arrive Crave for soothing daylight for in darkness you are mine Weigh in what coin you have with what you’ve got for sale If you strike first you’ll be the one to tell the tale The price you would pay to have me killed A cutthroat blade or fire at will The gold in your pouch is worth your soul (soul… soul…) What would you give to feel secure?

As we left the port we left our homes parting with all that we’d ever known Beginning a new chapter in all of our lives Restless but keen we had in our hands some thirty months’ worth of searching new lands Unknown were the perils we’d face on our way On an august day the sky went black It soon was clear that we should have turned back Two hundred days in pouring rain Had all our efforts been in vain? Cold and soaked and far from home Lost track on our whereabouts a long ago The decks are deadly the walk upon Flooding already and more will come A day’s no different from a night Burning oil the only light between our vessel’s creaking sides What my future holds time will tell A friendly shore or the depths of hell For another chance I dare not pray for hope is weakening by the day Rain pouring on us again Hammering down with no end Here below I lie alone with no strength left to carry on As we drift in the unknown Rain pouring on us again Hammering down with no end

Pirate Heart 04:29
The blaze of cannons died and everything was quiet We took our chances and withstood the pressure Soon the morning came and we had held the bay Using our wits to push back the aggressor The captain of hearts was a man worn out by time but one we would follow I never served a king nor I ever will They’d try to rid me of my pirate heart You’ve come to tame my pirate heart and make me bow before your law But that ain’t how we got this far A thousand leagues away live the men who say ”They shall obey they must pledge to the crown” But on our fortress walls the decision falls Refusing to live by no code but our own If you ever stood on the deck when your ship sails home to the shores of silver You know what it means when your soul is free And they’ll never rid you of your pirate heart You’ve come to tame my pirate heart and make me bow before your law But that ain’t how we got this far You cannot rip my pirate heart out of my chest and bring me down You’ll never change the way we are Sundown at the sea The fairest time to feel alive and well Oh my god! May the slaver burn in hell!

Seabird 05:36
Drifting away in the vast blue Sun climbing high burning my skin When out of the bright sky a shadow appears Gliding with wings wide a sight so unreal Feathered in white it passes me Carrying my hopes of a coast nearby And to the horizon it soon disappears Forever with me forever gone I close my eyes
