1. Nuclear Skies

I am the Seventh, I am divine
I roam the heavens, I survive
Unleash the spirits, litter the skies
Conjure the demon, let dragons fly
Mislead the children, comfort the blind
To thieves and beggars may God be kind
So watch me deliver, watch dragons fly
Call on the wizard, I’ll be your guide

2. Servant Of The Bones

I see, the sun will turn
Blood-red it changes over me
For three days I suffered the poisonous gold
Made Cyrus the God-sent King
Oh memories of old

For too long I faded
For too long I shared
the vagueness of spirits
mmm…faded so fast
The memories eluded me
or else brought me pain
The cauldron still hurts me, see
again, and again

My Bones in a shrine

My soul still caught in time

May she burn

have I no soul I'm Azriel

Oh, do believe
my Masters I´ve slain
Oh, no, but you needn´t fear
Jonathan my friend
There´s been too many Masters
too many deaths by my hand
The memories of innocense
My tears in the sand

My Bones in a shrine

My soul still caught in time

May she burn

have I no soul I'm Azriel

and so you see, the sun will turn
Blood-red it changes over me
Wrought in confusion
My life at an end
I wait for the golden stairs
To come down again

3. Another Time Around

Don’t tell me life is for the living
The voices that I hear say it’s not so
I fear they just pretend to hold the answer

They tell me life is what we’re given
Then nevermore, but hey, you never know
Believe me, in time there’s no tomorrow
So wish me well I feel it´s time to go

Another time around
Another song, another crown
New faces hide the cards
Turn them down
A masterful design
Not once upon a time
Yet still we dream
We hope for something more

They told me - I saw
Holy fire, oh the burning of us all

Another time around

Don’t want to face the day still unforgiven
No, I don’t wanna see the end at all
Don’t want no brave new world tomorrow
Forevermore to one and all

They told me - I saw
Holy fire - ooh, burning in us all

Another time around

4. Where The Sun Never Shines

Make me an offer I cannot refuse
Sell me your nightmares, your fears
Tell me the difference I live with the dead
Tell me of joy and of tears

Grant me three wishes
and make them come real
Wishes go farther out here
Tell me of secrets and places you´ve been
Tell me the rapture is near
Show me the devil is always the same
Show me I´ve nothing to fear
Give me a choice between Heaven and Hell
Show me a way out of...

Here I am, where the Dead rule the night

The stars left the sky for this place

Darkness rules and I say, I will stay

Here where the sun never shines

I made you an offer you could not refuse

I sold you your nightmares, your fears
I told you the difference I wept for the dead
I told you of joy and of tears
I Granted three wishes
then made them come real
I hold you, there´s nothing to fear
Now give me a choice, either Heaven or Hell
I´ll take any road out of...

5. Order Of The Seven Poles

Strange were the days that passed
Unreal and unexplained
I knew nought of their secret rites
or of their hidden ways
The servants child, the beaten prone
the misfit and the slave
They all believe, it serves them right
Just watch him rise again

I've seen it all

So believe me when I say

Even valiant princes fall

Oh! but rise now, rise again

Each day they seek me out

observe me in disguise
They do not know about the one
they think they saw him die
Only I, yes only I remember what is true
I heard your name and then I knew
The seventh pole would summon you

I've seen it all

So believe me when I say

Even valiant princes fall

Oh! but rise now, rise again

I call you now

Come rise, rise again
I call you now
Come rise in me
I call you now
Rise and I shall be
Grand Master of the Order
The Order of the Seven Poles

6. Undead

Empty shelves, hollow corridors
A daunting smell, never felt before
Compassion breaking down
In time we lose ourselves, anyway
So strike him down, hammer on!

A strange emotion fill the air
The second seal, cracked up, unfair
I force the needle through my spine
No savior burning, fine!
Hammer on!

Still chained to the world
Oh, our circle still turns

It's not fair

It's not fair

Undead

7. No Tears In The Rain 

In my world
there is nothing quite like this pain
I've no dreams, no illusions
There are no tears in the rain

Eyes stare blank
Don´t reach out it won´t be me
You don´t know but this needs be
and no one else really cares

I don´t dream I´m falling anymore

See me
See my world in another light
full of life new beginnings
and our souls burn so bright

I don´t dream I´m falling anymore

In my world
there is nothing quite like this pain
  All your dreams, your illusions
They' re like tears in the rain

Your eyes stare back
You don´t reach out, don´t you need me?
Can´t you see how this bleeds me?
And no one else seems to care

8. Lord On High

I hear the priests call to the people
They say the Gods need human blood
And now the crowd cries so much louder
Spells have been cast
now they´re waiting for me

Dazed I wait in total darkness
The stone door slides open
The crowd's in extacy
The High Priest gives sign
and I´m brought forward
Temple-guards seize me
I´m forced to my knees

Fiery mad eyes staring
a flash, the blade goes in
The Gods are daring me to go

Through the portal

On wings of might and splendour

Throught the portal

They told me I would fly

Soul immortal

A mighty ghost, no magic

No one mortal

Can bind me Lord on High

I shiver with fear I can take this no longer

Oh Gods gather round to feast on us all
The blade poised to strike
My spirit grows stronger
They hold up the cup
Now my blood I shall drink

Fiery mad eyes staring
The blade goes in
The Gods are daring me to go

Through the portal

On wings of might and splendour

Throught the portal

They told me I would fly

Soul immortal

A mighty host all magic

No one mortal

Can bind me Lord on High

9. Corporate Masters

So it came
The first day of the new religion
Saw the God with the cold eyes
Only then did I realize we had sold out
It´s been a week now
and I´m starting to fade
Day after day I see this Idol
Stand in my way
Why even bother when

Corporate Masters

Run the Benefactor System

Can I live up to the role

And so it fell
The first choice for the new division
Handed out with a cold smile
All of this always televised
for the eyes of the supervised
The key to the sectors of power
was given by

Corporate Masters

Run the Benefactor System

Can I live up to the role

Who can tell
in the light of this New Disorder
Who we are and you tell me
Who are we unbelieving
In a world full of pain
Run this world backwards
It's

10. No Wings To Burn

I am near you tonight
I´m the dark, the dead, I´m the light
Hear a voice through the black
Soon to burn with the angels
As you open the door
There is no one to help you
Hear you call me once more

Now I see me outside the world

outside myself

I'm one with everything

and there's no one else

You called my name

now take my hand and fade away

I'm so much stronger now

I have no fear

No wings to burn

Look into my eye
I can see, I can feel you´re in pain
It´s the heat, you´re becoming
one that burn with the angels
I am closing the door
There is no one to help you
Hear you call me once more

Now I see me outside the world

outside myself

I'm one with everything

and there's no one else

You call my name

I smile and say

you stay in Hell

I'm so much stronger now

I have no fear

No wings to burn

11. The Dead And The Sun

Mark my words I won´t care
Never tread where Angels dare
Precious few shine like you
Fewer still are aware of the dead and his son

I don´t know, where do I start
So many thoughts, I wonder
where we all go and if also
memories never die

All empty chairs
Still someone´s here
I can´t believe it´s over
This darkest hour to my dismay
makes me feel alight

I´m Sure he´s here
always so near
like we belong together
Wherever I go, he´s there also
Somewhere deep inside

The candle burns once more tonight
I could´ve sworn I heard your laughter
Forevermore and on, tonight

I call forevermore

beyond the grave

The dead and his son

Oh father gone

for all too long
I lived my life away from you
So when I wake and pray tonight
Make me feel alive

My name is Shamael and I´ll make you burn
Call me a liar, I´ll take you higher
I´ll make you burn, burn, burn!
Watch me now
