Necromancy

Blade strikes the skin
Yields the blood within
Take from me this tool
That leaves me in beguil
Day or night, it matters not
For I'm condemned to sit and rot
In this pool(?) of misery
Condemned to life(?) you've given me
Lie sleeping

In the darkness of a dream
The immortals steal your soul
Can't divine between the lines I'm keeping
Fear the dark and eerie sight
As the gods of form unite
And they wake the sleeping beast from dreaming

And you realize
Walking through this tempest land
... (?) of some ill within your mind
And you see them
Dancing in this necromance
Spectre of some ill design (?)

Your fate revealed now
Cast by the stone
This blade of steel now
Cuts skin and bone

You will walk among the dream
And the walls will call you slave
And the (...), they say I know them
And the men will break the chain
And the dead will leave the grave
And the cold and frosty lies
That stay them
And the sun will set no more
And the (...) will be ablaze
And the night watchers will come 
And steal this
And the dead you thought were dreams
And the corpse you thought were kings (?)
And the keys of all your senses taken (?)

Note: I'm guessing at large parts of this song because the lyrics in the CD liner notes bear little resemblance to most of the actually-heard lyrics.

False Prophet

It's guiding me the way that's best
It leads me to believe
There's no malicious motivation
That's hard to conceive
Heaven parts and it's not there
Not the way I hoped
But it stays around for me
Dangling from a rope

Dream the way I want you to
I'm your false prophet it's true
You need not have a love for me
Just give me your loyalty

It's not a thing of prophecy
As far as I can see
It's just something that
Takes joy in tormenting me
If I try to pull away
It snaps me back in line
It's the coming misery
When I'm feeling fine

Plastic Chair

There's a plastic chair in the garage
The car is gone
The shelves are stacked with bottles
All is neatly lined
A shot rings out, the world turns red
Prelude to the call
Someone enters, sees the sight
I've been here before

Please don't send that soul there
It only told one lie
And even if it ended it
It didn't have to die

We took the chair from the garage
And washed it to forget
We put it in the garbage
And now the sun has set
Am I the only one that cares?
Do people wonder too?
Is money just so damn important?
Who helped him to see it through?

My soul has been forsaken

Rejoice

I kneel into the street
My face turned from the sight
I feel the rain across my brow
I walk the lonely road
And hear the church bells ring
But why should I
Why should I
Rejoice

Receive the falling wind
It makes a halo round my head
Round my head
Sit and listen to the songs of Pharisees
With a word, defile the hands of every man
And the world will sing the songs of heresy(?)
While the soil shifts in the heart of every man

I know, I've seen the fire glow
The potion slowly soaking in
We're sliding down the spire again, again
Won't shed this skin; no chance
I feel deception creeping in
It spins me round and round and round...

I walk the lonely road
And hear the church bells ring
But why should I...
And the world will sing the songs of heresy(?)
While the soil shifts in the heart of every man
But why should I
Rejoice

Nocturn

Open pages, manuscripts of old
Shadows dance in candle light
Twisted shadows denizens of old
Guide your shepherds through the night

Sand shifts in the hourglass
I give this to you
You receive me
You never see the spells I cast
Oh is this fate
That leads me to the nemesis
And fills me with desire
Oh, this soul is sanctified in light
And shrouded in obsidian

Truth is not divine
The graven image you are holding in your hand
Will you ever close your eyes

And I would always be the one
To stand and see the coming of the storm
Through the trees
Oh, but the hour of man has come
And I must go my way

Adoramuste

Like the sun
Through the field
Like the fire
That has been forgotten

Like a child
In his room
Like a draft
When the door is open
Like the earth
Turns beneath my feet
Like the pool
Where I tossed my token

Adoramuste
We will never be forgotten
Adoramuste
We lay the stone that we will rot in
Adoramuste (...) (x2)

Like the cold
When there's no heat
Like the wall
Where the words are spoken
Like the soul
That receives (?)
Like the will
That will not be broken

Like the sun through the fields
Like the wind through the rain
Like the breaking of a chord
Like the chorus of this chain
Like the lonely ravens song
Like the seasons all in grey
Like the whisper of a child
Like the waking from a dream

The Light

Angels outside
Are passing by my window
I wonder why
They do not look inside

Grab hold of the light
Don't let the darkness drown you
Grab hold of the light
But do not look inside

The veil of the sun
Is the light that blinds me
The glow of the moon
Is the meat that feeds my soul

Grab hold of the light
Don't let the darkness drown you
Grab hold of the light
But do not look inside

Shroud of Turin

Fields ablaze with armours light
With the sword in his side
And the blood unite
I thought I'd be asleep that night
But the white hair kept me from morning light

I sat by the sepulcher
I sat by the limestone
I looked for the holy grail
And I still remember

Light the star of Gabriel
Set my spirit free
I've been walking too long
Set my mind at ease

It seemed a long time ago
With the fields ablaze
And the holy grail
I thought I'd be saved by now
By apocalypse and the holy vow

I sat by the sepulcher
I sat by the limestone
I looked for the holy veil
And I still remember

Light the star of Gabriel
Set my spirit free
I've been walking too long
Set my mind at ease
Though the shroud of turin
Drapes my coat, soothes my soul
I've been walking too long
Set my spirit free

Light the star of Gabriel, see
For the last time, infinity
The shroud of turin drapes my coat
For the last time, infinity...

Fields of Stone

Season has changed
I lie awake and wait to dream
The dream never comes
There's nothing left to dream
All is forgotten (x2)

I see them sitting there
Through the broken glass
Of my window pane
Echoes of laughter
Before the light has ever come
And it comes
A holy veil
To seize the dreams they hunger for
And they walk
Forgotten winds
Through the fields of stone forever more

All is forgotten (x2)

I see them in the garden
Neath darkened shade of lifeless trees
Echoes of laughter
Ring through the falling rain
And this rain
That comforts me
I dedicate my breath to you
From this shade
That covers me
My eyes I seal forever more

Seasons change
The colors through my window pane
I look into the dark
And hunger for the light
For the light; I won't be betrayed
When they come for me
From beyond the grave(?)
They see with golden eyes
That shine before they come
And they come
A howling wind
To seize the dream forsaken them
And I walk
An unspoken wind
Through fields of stone forever more

Seraphim

Through the skies
We watched you fall asleep
Through your closed eyes
We know you heard our voices

Don't feel fear
You cried your final tear
Let us sing to you
Be a memory 

Wind in our wings
We fly through the rift

Say goodbye
You've left it all behind
We know you loved them
But it's time to go
