1. In Remembrance
[Music: J. Mellberg]
[Lyrics: C. Johnsson]
Draconian age, Typhonic dream
Nuit lead the qliphotic stream
The depths in mind where visions dwell
Projections of an open shell
Into remembrance we transcend
Into memories from a prior supreme darker age
Thy fallen thou shall rise
Into aeons of the dark supreme
A ride on the qliphotic stream
Demonic queen, the whore of Babylon
The one who ride To Mega Therion
2. Black Fairy
[Music and lyrics: C. Johnsson]
Pale is your face in the mist of the dark,
My dearest mistress of the night.
The memories of your magificence,
Caresses my mind and my heart.
Black Fairy
Dark Fairy
Break through and met up at the border of eclipse,
Through deepest desires awaiting your emerge.
The pictures in my mind will call upon your presence,
Connects my mind to the qlipha of Lilith.
Black Fairy
Dark Fairy
Pale is your face in the mist of the dark,
My dearest mistress of the night.
The memories of your magificence,
Caresses my mind and my heart.
3. Fly To The Rainbow
[Schenker/Roth]
[originally performed by SCORPIONS 1974]
I don't live today
Rain in the sky made the world fly
into time, back beyond time.
Sun in the sky made the world fly
into time, back beyond time.
Well, I lived in magic solitude
of cloudy-looking mountains
and a lake made out of crystal raindrops.
Roamin' thru space, two thousand years ago,
I've seen the city of Atlantis
sinking into eternal darkness...
Somewhere in the blue distance
are those long forgotten trees of yore.
A broken violin floatin' alone in december
darkness everywhere and nothing more.
Symbol, strange melancholy,
painted torrid colours to a sky of green.
Candle, breathing one night only,
far away, in chillness, bleak, unseen.
Drifting galley, ghostlike shadow,
set sail to catch and kill the time.
Echoes wandering down an endless meadow,
search for a thing... sublime...
Fly to the rainbow, fly away, so far away...
4. Children Of The Damned
[Steve Harris]
[Originally performed by IRON MAIDEN 1982]
He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
He's walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would have crucified us all
Now he's standing on the last step
He thought oblivion well it beckons us all
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Now it's burning his hands he's turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on ground what did we leam
You're children of the damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're children of the damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
You're children of the damned
5. Under Jolly Roger
[Rock'n'Rolf]
[Originally performed by RUNNING WILD 1987]
Weigh anchor, hoist the sails
Cruisin' for booty on watery trails
No exploiter we see can still sail on
Our cannons fire till his ship goes down
[Ref:]
Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shell burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
Venerable scoundrels, no blood on our hands
Our engagement are tough, but only for
defence
Carefully we sail around the reefs
To force those die-hards to their knees
[Ref.]
Coming through the waves to free all the captives
Boarding the vessels we know all the tactics
We're the menace, the curse of the sea
We pulverize the men'o'war pay or flee
[Ref.]
6. Symphony Of The Dead
[Shortened instrumental version]
[Johnsson]
7. Here Come The Tears
[Halford/Tripton]
[Originally performed by JUDAS PRIEST 1976]
Once I dream love would coming sweetly of away
Now it seems like pass me by I still long to the way
Here come the tears
Looks like you're always be the same
No one hear you come with me
Here come the tears
All alone no one care
So much you give do you all like that
Take me now in your arms
Let me rest safe from harm
Well
I want to be loved
I need to be loved
Oh somebody else
Here come here come the tears...
