when demons rise and darkness falls across the world God has to step aside to make way for a new dawn In this new age nothing will be as it was the wheel of time will be reset to zero angels will fall from the sky, demons will rise into the light when demons rise and earth turns into hell The way is now clear for the history to retold a history in which the wicked will be good a story where all the best to evil turns Gabriel your time has come - Gabriel blow into the trumpet, proclaim the end the end of all promise, the end of immortality, the end of all hypocrisy Gabriel blow into the horn, Gabriel - the day of judgement has come

always forward, towards the sky, no way back, only further into the light faded shadows, long forgotten in time, they have no power over thy now don’t be afraid of things from the past, they exist only in your memories Through the canyons of the time, towards the sky, follow your aim do not let it stop you neither from storm and nor from hail the journey is the reward you will attain it through the raging of the sea, across the burning sky you’ll be riding on the storm, into the rising light into the rising light, towards the sky the blood of your enemies has long since dried, their cries have long since died away it is time to leave it behind always forward, towards the sky, no looking back, only further into the light away from the dawn, dark times left behind for now, forever, until all eternity you will live

Sacrifice 02:36
kneel down and send your prayers to god or whomever to determine that no one answered you! it does not matter in what you believe - just realize you will be sacrificed blood and tears, agony and pain are the sacrifices you have to make no salvation in sight, all your prayers will not be heard! there is no one who forgives, to live this life is the price to be paid you think there's relief - but life takes its toll you're just a chess piece in the the battle of your faith you hope you get redemption, but you still be sacrificed - there is no one who forgives, to live this life is the price to be paid blood and tears - agony and pain, are the sacrifices you have to make it doesn’t matter what you believe - just recognize - you will be sacrificed

The rustling of the trees, The whisper of the winds, The rippling of rivers and streams, the roar of the seas Listen to and recognize the call of the ancient gods So many questions that exist, so many answers that we do not want to see we only have to listen to them, the tales that nature tells Thousands of years - Older than mankind, but never silenced - the call of the ancient gods Follow the call, respect their rules, the ancient gods have left us their heritage A heritage which must be preserved like ancient rites which must not be forgotten it is ubiquitous, it’s always there, you only need to open your mind you can perceive it - You feel that it's there, follow the call of the ancient gods and the insight will reveal to you for all eternity

You feel a strong desire, you can’t resist the anger in you you want to satisfy your thirst for revenge. An eye for an eye - you are aware, it is a mortal sin. It is your dearest of all The fourth deadly sin it’s your salvation. Redemption at all Anger is a desire for revenge. Revenge for the suffering, revenge for the shame but it is praiseworthy "to maintain justice“ to impose restitution The fourth deadly sin, legitimized in the book of hypocrites Rage. .Anger.Satisfaction. Redemption at all The fourth deadly sin, it is your dearest of all you don’t care, it is a mortal sin, ´cos you can not resist this desire is greater than anything, wrath and anger persist

darkness rises, shadows embrace you the spirits that you called you will not let go you've opened the doors, You asked the guest to the table you have hoped for relief It was not foreseeable that the guest does not intend to go again like a prisoner in your own home are you living your life Shadows Embrace, the dark place in your soul grows you've opened the doors, you asked the guest to the table Now he does not want to go shadows embrace, all hope seems dead shadows embrace, no solution in sight hopelessness, no light in the dark, you’re alone.

When the final battle of life is over, when I lie dying in the arms of my friends No one should fall into sorrow and grief. Remember the good times that we had ashes to ashes and dust to dust, reminds you of my life, to see who I was a man who lives for his dreams, a man who fought for his convictions Straightforward, honest and brave My bequest shall be my deeds, Forever and ever till eternity ashes to ashes and dust to dust, reminds you of my life, to see who I was when the day comes that I die, my ashes scattered down by the creek the water should carry them, through the great rivers and then go further until out to sea for all time, I am a part of the oceans forever, i will always be there ashes to ashes and dust to dust, reminds you of my life, to see who I was

Bloodlines 03:17
memories rise through your veins your sense and soul are nourished by your blood Have you ever asked yourself, what leads your way? is it a coincidence or is it fate? Is it your destiny or decided freely Do you believe in providence, or only in what you see? Can you imagine that you are just a slave of something greater A part of a larger whole that exists for centuries You can’t renounce your bloodline, it determines who you are In thee the blood of beggars flows. The blood of saints, warriors, blood of kings In your veins flows their legacy. With every breath you wear it into the world. your sense and soul are nourished by blood of generations You can’t renounce your bloodline, it determines who you are

The End 03:53
the white rider approaches, he comes from dawn. he is the first of four, with bow and crown and he went out conquering and to conquer, he is the first of four that are shaping the end the second rider appears on a red horse and pulls out his sword, he is the bringer of violence, blood and war there is no getaway, no escape. once the horsemen are unleashed it is irrevocable - the end is near! you can run for your life, the third horseman is already on the way a black horse riding, with the scales of justice he brings the hunger and inflation the fourth and final horseman is named death, he rides a pale horse, followed by hades Bringer of fear, decline and death the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the harbingers of the end nowhere is all the complaints and cries, it is too late to repent the fate is sealed, the decision has been made, there will be no mercy you will die, die, die ... a painful death the end is near my friend, this is the end of humanity
