Magnum Opus
04:36
|

Sanctum Moleculae
Sacrum Particulae
diligo vindico
Universa tutelae
Curious and cryptic is
the world of alchemy
secretive and puzzling
The mystic mind to be
Ancients seeking wisdom
sift through every tome
divining transmutation
through philosopher's stone
at his royal commandment
The sage is put to task
provide complete protection
like shield or iron mask
an amulet created
with properties unknown
love will be the conduit
to friends of royal throne
This talisman of protection
would be his greatest feat
Truly his Magnum Opus
His conjuring complete
If only he could know
the bitter fruit that it would bear
Darkness descending, evil unending
Unexpected consequence
would make itself be known
Unholy entanglement
that nothing could atone
New facets were emerging
and take an ugly turn
magic it would magnify
and bedlam clash and burn
Witches were attracted
Like flies to carrion
Evil was compacted
and could not be undone
Coven battled coven
Intent to take control
Wickedness was virulent
and avarice take it's toll
This talisman of protection
would be his greatest gift
Truly his Magnum Opus
but sadness would be swift
If only he could know
the bitter fruit that it would bear
Darkness descending, evil unending
Hell is paved with good intentions
to be enslaved by our own inventions
noble desire that seemed heaven sent
turn to despair and our deep lament
200 years later
dark forces would align
a wicked orchestration
of crime on top of crime
a sorceress of ill intent
would climb a family stair
ruthless in her ambition
and no one would be spared
a matriarch of murder
a bitter bride of greed
a king caught in the middle
would end by ugly deed
unexpected consequence
again would be at hand
evil begat evil
and a spider ruled the land
This talisman of protection
would be his greatest feat
Truly his Magnum Opus
His conjuring complete
If only he could know
the bitter fruit that it would bear
Darkness descending, evil unending

Evil Calling
03:38
|
|||
Evil calling
spiders crawling
demons hiding
witches lying
doom won't rest
in dark infest
Devils dawning
Nightmares come to those who wait
unseen horror near
Darkness falls to desecrate
shadows creep with fear
Powers that be refuse to see
turning a blind eye
hopeless peasants beg for help
as sons and daughters die
Spiders come
quake with fear
prey for dawn
doom is near
Light is failing
fear unveiling
Blackness Spreading
praying, dreading
Evil hungers out of sight
waiting patiently
screams ring out in dead of night
nothing to be seen
when dawn comes no bodies found
only splatters on the ground
silken webs of those once bound
still no one believes
Spiders come
quake with fear
prey for dawn
death is here

I Never Knew
04:15
|

Hey, it's me again
I thought I'd let you know
I'm turning 18
and soon I'll have to go.
Pray, watch over me
as I do as I vowed
I hope you're pleased
I hope I'll make you proud
Can you see me now
Let me know somehow
is there a way back
oh, why did you leave me
Can you hear me now
speak to me somehow
does the veil of death
separate us completely
Grand mother did her best
we struggled through the years
I worked so very hard
she always hid her tears
How I wish you were here
to see me on my way
to face my destiny
evil will pay
I never knew you, mother
I always missed you, father
why did you leave me, mother
do you still love me, father
Avenge your death
is what I vow
in darkened dreams
you showed me how
through pain and hate
my heart grew hard
my hopes forever scared
I know that death
will be my fate
my sweet revenge
will motivate
to see the look upon her face
grim reapers cold embrace
Can you see me now
Let me know somehow
is there a way back
oh, why did you leave me
Can you hear me now
speak to me somehow
does the veil of death
separate...
I never knew you, mother
I always missed you, father
why did you leave me, mother
do you still love me, father
I always loved you, mother
I always loved you, father
why did you leave me, mother
do you still love me, father

Let the Games Begin
03:13
|

Come one, come all
for sights unseen
the gallant fight
to please the Queen
majestic pageant
of blood and steal
pounding hooves
and feats unreal
Open warfare
on the field
battle skills
shall be revealed
the mighty clash
to entertain
to choose a victor
through sport and game
The weak will fall, the mighty win
let the games, the games begin
time to release the beast within
let the games, the games begin
The weak will fall, the mighty win
let the games, the games begin
time to release the beast within
let the games, the games begin
A prize of glory
to wed the Queen
a warrior’s story
a King to be!
fists of metal
heart and will
screams of battle
fear instill
smoke and fire
groans of pain
once was many
few remain
teeth are clenched
eyes will burn
crash of contact
no return
The weak will fall, the mighty win
let the games, the games begin
time to release the beast within
let the games, the games begin
The weak will fall, the mighty win
let the games, the games begin
time to release the beast within
let the games, the games begin
The Trophy, a Kingdom
and beautiful bride
A lady in waiting
where secrets reside
The field is littered
with limbs and heads
the screams of living
the still of dead
You spy your target
and he's alone
it's time to finish
and send him home
to God! To God!
open the door
to victory
his heart the lock
your sword the key
The weak will fall, the mighty win
let the games, the games begin
time to release the beast within
let the games, the games begin
The weak will fall, the mighty win
let the games, the games begin
time to release the beast within
let the games, the games begin
A prize of glory
to wed the Queen
a warrior’s story
a King to be!
Now let the games begin!

She said, Congratulations on your victory
You did so very well
Impressive for your first engagement
In battle skills you quite excel
She was thinking while he was winning
He had something more at stake
Even when the blood was spilling
There was something he couldn't shake
Have you thought about
What’s in store for you
Have you thought about

You got the power
To win the contest
Do you have talents
To woo a princess
Hey Hey Never say Never
You want it you got it
In love forever

And he truly to fits the bill

A way with ladies
Hey Hey Never say Never
You want it you got it
In love forever

The Spider Queen
04:15
|

The palace gates are to the east
beyond the jousting green
a garden greets you soft and sweet
where lark and songbird sing
fair maidens take you by the arm
and promise pure delight
they say their mistress would be pleased
to dine with you tonight
Opulence and majesty
encompass and surround
perfection is the picture here
none better can be found
you’re brought into her chamber
confection for the eyes
exquisite is her countenance
but what do eyes belie
She's a deceiver, a spinner of lies
She's a soul stealer, she'll consume your mind
She's a flesh eater, she'll feast on your cries
Evil Conceiver, all mankind’s demise
She's not what she seems
A weaver of dreams
A haze of beauty hides
the horror and the dread
sweet perfume will mask the smell
of countless rotting dead
you'll long to be her lover
and join her in her bed
awake to find it's feeding time
entrapped in spiders web
Her lair is a cave
where 10,000 corpses lay
while she's tended by her minions
who've become unwilling slaves
you will dance with her tonight
in a web of false delight
then she'll reveal herself to you
The Spider Queen!
She's a deceiver, a spinner of lies
She's a soul stealer, she'll consume your mind
She's a flesh eater, she'll feast on your cries
Evil Conceiver, all mankind’s demise
There is no escape
Don't suffer my fate
She's not what she seems
A weaver of dreams
Behind beauty lies
a monster of horror in lovely disguise
She's not what she seems
a reaper of screams
She hungers for flesh
Enchanting Deceiver, Seductress of Death
She's a deceiver, a spinner of lies
She's a soul stealer, she'll consume your mind
She's a flesh eater, she'll feast on your cries
Evil Conceiver, all mankind’s demise
You'll never be king
believe what I've seen
She's not what she seems
A weaver of dreams
Behind beauty lies
a monster of horror in lovely disguise
She's not what she seems
a reaper of screams
She hungers for flesh
Enchanting Deceiver, Seductress of Death

Rune of Power
03:30
|

Rune of Power
destroy, devour
that which smashes
leaving only smoke and ashes
Young Helmut listen to me
we have no time to waste
You missed your chance to kill her
Now we must fight her face to face
We've lost all advantage
she knows your coming, she knows your here
We're running out of options
The task at hand's becoming clear
Somewhere in her palace
a sacred object waits
the power it possesses
will help us seal her fate
Created by the Ancients
Passed down from King to King
a perfect path to glory
a terrifying thing
This fearsome rune of power
fire forged in dragons breath
Imbued with darkest magic
ascendance over death
Battle Hammer
Fist of Valor
that which smashes
broken bones and thunder crashes
Now you must hasten to her
Tell her you wish to wed
confidence must be with you
even join her in her bed
While she's sleeping you must take it
an amulet on silver chain
my mark will be upon it
her stolen prize will be her bane
Once you have it, call out to me
You shall find me by your side
together we will slay this monster
Our victory won't be denied
Created by the Ancients
Passed down from King to King
Merciless path to glory
a terrifying thing
This fearsome rune of power
fire forged in dragons breath
Imbued with darkest magic
ascendance over death
Rune of Power
destroy, devour
that which smashes
broken bones and thunder crashes
dust and death and smoke and ashes

What Love Denies
03:59
|
|||
Look in my eyes and see
what love denies to me
Help me (Spare me)
Save me (Leave me)
Forgive me my darling, what else could I do
Love me (Fear me)
Free me (Flee me)
Excuse my deception, I did it for you
I've waited for so long
Trapped in this hell
I've longed for a lover
That would break this spell
I beg you Helmut help me please
Break this curse and set me free
Don't let me suffer this forever
Save me so we can be together
Look in my eyes and see
what love denies to me
Spare me (Help me)
Leave me (Save me)
Your cries are just lies, I won't suffer your tears
Fear me (Love me)
Flee me (Free me)
Your final breath is all I want to hear
I've suffered too long
for too many years
my hour of vengeance
is finally hear
You monster
You murderer
Destroyer of my world
Your wicked
Your evil
a spawn of the Devil
I beg you Helmut help me please
Break this curse and set me free
Don't let me suffer this forever
Save me so we can be together
You monster
You murderer
Destroyer of my world
Your wicked
Your evil
a spawn of the Devil

Construct of Destruction
05:03
|

Greetings my Queen
Remember me
Much time has passed
since we were three
It was a difference of opinion
of who should rule the land
that lead to your decision
to take the upper hand
you vicious little harlot
you greedy loathsome bitch
you murdered you own husband
just to make yourself rich
I, I will destroy
I've built a better mousetrap
which I will now employ
Yes I, I will destroy
your death will not come easy
and that I will enjoy
You killed my Herzig
You stole his thrown
took the Rune of Power
and kept it for your own
You challenged me in witchcraft
you knew I couldn't win
So then I killed your Heinrich
and now the fun begins
You think he looks familiar
it's difficult to gage
could be that he and Heinrich
would be the same of age
I, I will destroy
my Construct of Destruction
which I will now deploy
Yes I, I will destroy
Contrivance of My Vengeance
That I will now enjoy
I'll take what's mine to take
I'll break what's mine to break
Your cursed rule will end today
I'll go down in history
as the one who slayed the Spider Queen
everyone will know your evil ways
Do you remember
when Heinrich came to be
the birth was very difficult
you begged for help from me
I decided not to tell you, dear
Two babes were born that day
Presented you with Heinrich
and hid his twin away
when all was turned against me
I bided my time well
my plan began to blossom
when I cast my spider spell
I knew that you would hunger
snatch victims from the town
Subjects would turn against you
to hunt the monster down
I trained my ward for battle
I whispered in his ear
Instilled in him a hatred
So pure and so sincere
I knew that you would want him
and he could slip inside
take back the Rune of Power
No where for you to hide
I, I will destroy
I've built a better mousetrap
which I will now employ
Yes I, I will destroy
your death will not come easy
and that I will enjoy
I'll take what's mine to take
I'll break what's mine to break
Your cursed rule will end today
I'll go down in history
as the one who slayed the Spider Queen
everyone will know your evil ways
I'll take what's mine to take
I'll break what's mine to break
Your cursed rule will end today
I'll go down in history
as the one who slayed the Spider Queen
everyone will know your evil ways

My Heart Turns to Dust
05:21
|
|||
My world was very different yesterday
How could I've known it would turn out this way
In some ways it's the same
But now I hold the blame
My heart just turns to dust
I never knew that love could be so sweet
The feeling in my heart made me complete
But now that all is lost
oh how my stars were crossed
My heart just turns to dust
Nothing left in this world to love for me
No angels descend from above for me
My whole life was a lie
my fate I can't deny
my heart just turns to dust
I know the end draws nigh
I hope that you sleep well
I, I won't say goodbye
I'll just say farewell
I, I can't even try
why, I can't even tell
I, I won't say goodbye
I'll just say farewell
I've only wanted one thing in my life
Avenge my parents and to end this strife
and now the deed is done
and I've lost everyone
my heart just turns to dust
The curtains close and the room grows so dim
The shadows spread across my heart within
my story's over now
the end I dare avow
my heart just turns to dust
I know the end draws nigh
I hope that you sleep well
I, I won't say goodbye
I'll just say farewell
I, I can't even try
why, I can't even tell
I, I won't say goodbye
I'll just say farewell
I, I can't even try
why, I can't even tell
I'll just say farewell

Dynasty of Darkness
04:54
|
|||
A Dynasty had grown
from such a simple thing
many have tried to own
what only death can bring
what started out as good
corrupted over time
some perished where they stood
others began to climb
possess all you can
is the folly of man
you can not break free
from this dark dynasty
Descend the long stair
that leads to no where
There's no turning back
You can't cry it's unfair
can't stop what's begun
there's no where to run
It can't be undone
Young Helmut learned too late
who he should not believe
a child's faith is great
so easy to deceive
He's Just another limb
a twisted family tree
Free to prune or trim
to serve another's need
Descend the long stair
that leads to no where
There's no turning back
You can't cry it's unfair
can't stop what's begun
there's no where to run
It can't be undone
If vengeance is your guide
You're lost before you leave
If power is your bride
Your lover will deceive
A lesson learned to late
Is not to learn at all
To choose a hated fate
To become hatreds' thrall
An Eye for an Eye
Until everyone's blind
You can not break free
From this dark dynasty
Descend the long stair
that leads to no where
There's no turning back
You can't cry it's unfair
can't stop what's begun
there's no where to run
It can't be undone
