Текст песни:

Beware the beast of man
For he′s the devils pawn
Alone among god′s primates
He kills for sport, lust or greed

The sacred scrolls...
The truth unfolds...

Shun him - or become like him
Shun him - the beast of man

Let him not breed in great numbers
For he will make a dessert of his home and yours
Shun him - drive him back into his jungle lair
For he is the harbinger of death

Текст песни:

Sands of time
Running through my fingers
My life slipping away
And I feel nothing
Swallow the tears

Eat the pain - It′s worth the degradation - Eat the pain

Behind the smile / I feel nothing
I reach out to touch, but I′m not really there

This reflection in the mirror
Can′t reality be me
I see no connection
With who I wanted to be
Drink another glass
Swallow these pills

At the end of the rainbow
You take the bitter
The bitter with the sweet

When love dies
The angels cry
Here I am
Alone... Alone in a crowd

@ Arch Enemy

Текст песни:

Across the lake of fire
Through the desserts of decay
The flames are burning higher
In this land of death you′re easy prey

Black Earth
Save - Our - Souls

Looking back in anger
At the twentieth century
Tormented we surrender
In artificial serenity

Twisted, torn and burnt
Violation of the crust
Man got what man deserved
Turned the future into dust

A millenary failure
The dark age has returned
Waiting for a miracle
To save the common herd

"In a century of darkness
The horror spreads within -
As our planet stops to turn
All hope is lost for man"

@ Arch Enemy

Текст песни:

You were born your brother′s keeper
Why can I see blood and your hands?
You became brother′s slayer
Embrace again in death.

At the end of all this hatred lies even deeper hate
Their darkness has defeated you - Your lifeline running backwards

Remember - Sins Of Our Fathers
A Requiem - For The Countless Dead

Blood is on your hands - The wages of sin

[Theme : Michael]

Future′s eyes closing now
Soul eclipse taking place
Laments rise - tears of the dead
From the other side of the grave

You were born your brother′s keeper
Why can I see blood and your hands?
Their darkness has defeated you
Your lifeline running backwards

[Theme : Michael ]

Текст песни:

Standing at the bridge of destiny
So long since I tasted fear
Lurking in the darkest holes
Awaiting my minds weakest moment
Old words from an old world
Against the laws of nature
They say the truth is overrated
Wall of anger corrupts my thought

Standing at the bridge of destiny
Show me a sign
On the verge of losing my sanity
Free my soul

My inner demons torture me
Flapping their wings in my face
Damn you! You twisted illusion
I am no longer afraid
See through their liquid souls
Evil eyes that will hypnotize
You can no longer hurt me
I am my own worst enemy

Unleash the trapped souls of the dead
Spirits since long forgotten
Guardians fo the lost faith
Destined for glory?
Watch them all turn into sand
And the wind blow them away
Wisdom pours into my soul
...endlessly...

Текст песни:

Dark shadows from above
Ravens fly, obliterate the sun
"It′s a sign of the devil.
He will come for his servant tonight"
These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies

Am I to burn
I have not sinned!
Burnt at the stake.
Innocent blood that can never be washed clean

The flames of ignorance
Grow higher and higher
Licking my flesh - burning my soul
The raven laughing in the moon

These are dark times
Suspicious minds breed like rats.
Guardians of corrupt morality
Spread their filthy lies again...

Текст песни:

We walk through the ages
The world on our shoulders
The burden we carry
To the dark end of our days
A thousand eyes watching
every step we are taking
waiting to see us
struggle and fall

And when we are beaten
The cross holds us down
I hear them laughing
And walking away

Carry the Cross
And suffer the loss
Hear my confession
Forever damnation

Reincarnation
Bleeding forever
Recover the pain
Pain gives me strength
Pick up the cross
And carry it on
Over and over
the wheel turns again

And when we are beaten
The cross holds us down
Ihear them laughing
And walking Away

Carry the cross
And suffer the loss
Hearmy confession
Forever damnation

@ Arch Enemy

Текст песни:

Like insects of the night, we are drawn into the light
Feeding off the starglow energy - controlling our fate

Bloodsucker selling hope to the hopeless
Newborn messiah or the devil incarnate?
Surrounded by a field of lost souls
These feeble minds - so easy to control

Salvation
Damnation
It′s all the same to you
But does anyone really know
What the future holds in store

A day will come
When the sun will rise again
Rays of black will shine
And together as one,
We will walk in the dark of the sun

Say a prayer for the unborn child in the womb
The children are the heirs of this dogmatic chaos
Is there a future in this claustrophobic tomb?
We can only rely upon ourselves, to save us

We are the resistance, our last line of defense
Prepared to fight for our promised land
Rebels at heart, they will hunt us to the ends of the earth
The chase is on - forever going on and on

Текст песни:

Spiritual Isolation - The ultimate frustration
Scratch the surface, tuurn another page
The ugly truth or another pretty lie
You deceived me, I believed you
Why did everything go...

So wrong...
For so long...
So the truth comes out at last

I′m dead inside
(I′m burning up)
A hollow shell
(My private hell)
In my own misery
You leave me to dwell

Then we were young and strong
Now everything is wrong
Did you want me, did you need me
Could you not say you believed me?
Everything we had is gone...
Like an old forgotten song
The deceiver and believer
Now everything is...

So wrong... for so long.
