From the graves of the damned who has left this world And from the ashes of their thoughts We shall rise above with our blackened souls And steal the beat of every heart Like a silenced drum on a starless night That is what they will all become Under clouded skies runs a river deep Into the shadows of my mind Where I stand I can see the horizon aflame Black clouds are rising so high And the sun will not give any warmth to those Fearful and crying From a world full of hope there is nothing to see Mountains collapse into nameless graves And I rule over desolate landscapes so torn Their temples shall fall Into ruins forlorn all enwrapped in mist And through the echoes of the past I will lay my soul to eternal rest And from my coffin made of stone I will see decay, I will know the end And I am waiting for my time In the great abyss, in the precipice Is where the throne of Hell is mine ♪ When the river of blood is running down your neck And when your wrists are open wide You will lay your soul in a pitch black hole That's just as dark and cold as mine You will smell the earth with your fading breath As you are drained and fade away To the other side of the veil of life To where the shadows now are mine From the depths of your grave you will finally feel How all your chains are braking And the burdens of life are being lifted off So walk with the shadows For the world that you shunned is so hopelessly lost And now forever broken With a merciless heart they'll be left there to die They are doomed forever As they stand against the grains of time They surely know what is to come And from the shadowside we're watching Indifferent and detached ♪ From beyond we can hear all the cries and the screams Dark days are filled with murder And the moon shall rejoice in the sight of those Searching for shelter In a world full of pain there is nowhere to hide Nowhere to run to take cover And we rule over desolate landscapes so scorned The circle is broken
