They brought this apocalypse themselves
Lust and greed consumed their minds
The thirst for money shattered their souls
And the world drowned in the sea of tears and blood
Scars
What are these scars on me
Who covered me with them
Was it me or something within
I cannot remember a thing
Each day a new one appears
And with each day pain increases
What madness drives me to do this
Why am I ruining the armor of my soul
Mists of Transylvania
In the desolate forests
Under the gentle mists
Live the creatures of dread
And those who witnessed them are long dead
Through the mists they walk
With the dead they talk
With their souls they dance
These creatures without conscience
And there comes a wanderer so weary
Enters these forests so dreary
In the mists he disappears
Where his soul will wander for endless years
The lonely musician
This lonely musician drowned in sorrow
He lived from day to day thinking about tomorrow
He didn't have any reason to live
But he had so much love to give
This love he collected inside himself for years
He didn't even want to shed his tears
Afraid it would escape from his soul
And into this world so foul
He collected all this love to give it to the one and only
A woman from his dreams that would make him no more lonely
But as he collected his love he also collected his fury
All this loneliness and sorrow made him so weary
He couldn't even create music anymore
He could only smash things and roar
And so his threw out his piano through the window
And freed one girl from her misery and sorrow
Dancing with shadows
I dance with the shadows
On the pale moonlight
On this cemetery that is my home
For all eternity and beyond
I dance with them
For that is all we can do
On this cemetery that is our home
For all eternity and beyond
Cries of Carpathia
In the desolate region of Carpathia
Lived a woman by the name Mystia
Renowned for her beauty and intelligence
But they didn't know she was worse than pestilence
In her castle she performed rituals so wicked
By which many would be sickened
She took young women from their homes
And to their families she returned only their bones
During the misty nights echoed the cries
Of young women seduced by Mystia's lies
She used those women as a sacrifice
That woman's soul was made out of pure ice
Whispers in the dark
I sit in the dark
I can hear them whisper
Their words corrupt my mind
As they wish of me things so grotesque
I sit in the dark
I can hear them whisper
Their words corrupt my soul
As they wish of me things so dreadful
Whispers in the dark
Slowly consume my tiresome mind
Whispers in the dark
Slowly consume my tiresome soul
Beauty in darkness and morbidity
I have found the beauty in morbidity
In death I have found such tranquility
I have found the beauty in darkness
It hides me from the world's madness
A shy girl
Such a shy girl walked down the street
She was all alone and always was
She never felt the touch of a man
Because she was always so shy
And down the street she walked
When all of a sudden she fell dead
A lonely musician's piano fell on her
And she died without ever feeling the earthly pleasures
Falling feathers
On that day the world stood still
Entire humanity lost its will
Under the dark sky they stood
Mindless and stiff like they were some wood
Thunder shattered throughout the sky
As they stood not caring if they would die
Throughout the world echoed screeches
And the world became covered in ashes
Feathers began to fall like rain
Covering humanity in pain
The age of darkness came
Were the sins of humanity for it to blame
Living in the darkness
In the depths of darkness
One man lives
Alone and sad
Too close to become mad
Darkness is his life
It cuts his soul like a knife
This lonely man wants to die
Anymore he cannot cry
Love letter
I am on the brink
It’s not easy to think
As I write this letter to you
My love is nothing but true
The only one
My soul is in prison
For which you are the reason
Your love created these bars
I can’t love anyone else under these stars
I like to stare at your magical eyes
Without them my caged soul slowly dies
I like to touch your pale skin
Without it my day wouldn’t truly begin
And as I touch your dark hair
As we make love inside our lair
Know that you are the only one
Even after this short life is done
The woman on the painting
I remember that woman from the painting
And I remember her beauty so mesmerizing
But she was wicked and completely evil
So much that of her was afraid even the Devil
With her emerald eyes and beautiful voice
She conquered men and they had no choice
But to serve her and give her everything
And they complied and they would do for her anything
And once she dried them completely
She sent into death these men so weakly
And so they killed her to protect everything they hold dear
But this woman on the painting many still fear
Dance around my tombstone
She dances around my tombstone
The one who put me in here is a crone
This is the punishment for my past crimes
To live buried inside this coffin until the world dies
Howls in the night
I am sitting inside my wooden house
The only light in it comes from the full moon outside
The winter wind blows creating dreadful sounds
And among those sounds I hear them howl
Such fear grips my already weak heart
Made weak by living in fear for years
Because of those creatures craving for human flesh
The ones that killed my family so long ago
And now they have come for me
They want to tear me apart
Creatures that were once my family
Now nothing but beasts under the full moon
Those eyes
Those eyes I saw made me shiver
Those eyes I saw gave me fever
In the darkness they glimmered
In the darkness they disappeared
Praying and dying
I've been praying all day
My sweet love for your sake
Why did
you have to pay
When it was clearly my mistake
But God punished you instead
To drown in this disease
And forced me to go mad
Oh God spare her please
For you I've been praying
Pleading God to give you a quick death
For days you've been slowly dying
I was beside you until your last breath
You and me
You are mine
I am yours
Under this dreary sky
Our love with each day grows
You and me
Please each other
As this wicked planet
Slowly falls into abyss
Our love will give us wings
Of a demon and an angel
And through the universe unknown
We shall fly until we die
November rains
On this beautiful month of November
I always dearly remember
Of you and me under the falling leaves
Of days so wonderful for which this lonely man grieves
Since you died on the last day of November
The first day I met you I still clearly remember
I constantly cry on these November rains
In hopes it will wash away all of my pains
Never cry when I die
Never cry
When I die
We shall meet again
And you will see then
Never cry
When I die
Better world awaits us
After this one so blasphemous
Crying widows
On the serpentine meadows
Gathered a choir of widows
Their cries awoke the ghosts of the dead
On these serpentine meadows from which many fled
Their cries were a song for their weary ears
The water for the grass were their hollow tears
They cried until the world went dark
On these serpentine meadows they left their mark
That woman
I loved that woman with all my heart
I loved her yet she never loved me back
That woman wasn't meant for me
That woman that I loved with all my soul
She was that woman that all talked about
The one everyone adored and worshiped
The one I loved and worshiped
I stared at her but she never stared back at me
How I wish I met that woman while she was still alive
She was probably a thousand times more beautiful than on her obituary
That woman that left this dreary world a century ago
That woman that captured the hearts of all
Souls of ice
They are the men from a world I'm afraid to speak
They are the men that prey upon the weak
Their faces are always covered in darkness
Their corrupted bodies are heartless
I've seen the things they did to the human race
How most of them vanished without a trace
They took them away to their world of dread
Where all... no I do not dare speak about the world that turned me mad
They are the men with souls of ice
Let me give you one good advice
If you see those men with eyes full of hatred
You better run from those men most feared
Sheer terror
Sheer terror runs through my veins
It increases when it rains
The music of the rain reminds me
Of a world where red is the sea
Sheer terror runs through my veins
It increases all of my pains
When I die I will go to that world
Where there are no brave and the bold
Pale of the night
It was yet another dreary and wicked night
And I found myself walking under the moon's pale light
I was walking through the abandoned cemetery
The one many considered to be too scary
There was a legend passed around
That many men disappeared here and were never found
And those who escaped these wicked grounds
Talked about a pale woman whose beauty bounds
And so I ventured into the night that gave me shivers
In the shoes that gave me blisters
To find this beautiful pale woman shrouded in mystery
To find her in the night most dreary
I walked and walked what seemed like centuries
To see if she was real or those stories were all lies
And I wanted for those stories to be real
Because I wanted this woman to reveal
And suddenly I saw her standing on the moon's pale light
And I stopped and froze in place because of this sudden sight
She just stood there and didn't move at all
And I just stared at this woman that looked so small
Suddenly she appeared right in front me
And on the pale moonlight I saw her beauty
I saw her pale skin and dark hair
And felt sickened by the smell in the air
I began to feel the stench of death
I could feel it in her breath
She placed her hand on me and whispered
Nah I don't want to write the words so twisted
I don't know how I survived her wrath
I don't know how I escaped from certain death
But I warn you not to go looking for this monster
Or you too will feel the wrath of this soul eater
My princess
Oh my sweet princess
You who dance beneath the moonlight
Can't you see how much I love you
Can't you see it like I can see your soul
I always look at you from this cold castle
I and these heartless monster of stone
We watch you as you dance to the music of the moon
And it makes me sad because I can't touch you
Oh how much I want to escape this dungeon of mine
But I can't because I'm cursed
I'm cursed to live within these cold walls
For eternity with monsters of stone
The Dark horseman
They spoke of him in terror
And I write this in terror
They spoke about the Dark horseman
The deliverer of death
The villagers said he would knock three times on your door
And the next morning one of your family would be dead
With a look on their face that expressed sheer terror
And the cause of death always remained unknown
They saw him many times riding through the night
This horseman always shrouded in darkness
And no matter how much they locked their doors and windows
Death always found a way into their houses
I saw him too
He knocked on the door of the house
The house in which I slept
And the next day the owner was found dead
I saw the expression on his face
I don't know what he saw
But whatever it was it had to be terrifying
And it made me escape from that village
And just an hour ago I heard three knocks on my door
I saw him through the window as he rode out into the night
I'm afraid to go to sleep
Death is coming for me and I can't stop it at all
Candles in the night
I light them in this beautiful night
I light them to guide you out of it
I stare at your picture on your tombstone
And gently touch the dirt under which you lie
I hope your soul finds a way to me
You only need to follow the
candles in the night
And I will light them every night
In hopes we finally meet again
An angel in Hell
She was a girl beautiful and young
Of sadness and death she always sang
While she was cleaning the house
Afraid of the returning spouse
She was trapped within those wicked walls
Finding peace in listening to the rain as it falls
Praying he wouldn't hurt her so bad
Trying not to go completely mad
Sheer terror passed through her every time
He returned home to do his crime
To hurt this girl for his own pleasure
To show her she was just a failure
She was an angel and in Hell she was trapped
Every day she was humiliated and raped
By this demon who had no soul
With heart that was most foul
The lighthouse
It was his curse
It was his damnation
For a century now
He spent in the lighthouse
The guardian of the flame he was
The guider for the ships carrying the lost
The souls of men seeking the afterlife
In the vast world beyond
In the solitude lighthouse on the solitude rock
Surrounded by a pool without bottom
He kept the flame alive
It was his one and only mission
The cries he heard from the wooden ships
Never allowed him to sleep
The screams he heard from the pool without bottom
Always made him shiver
In this lighthouse he was trapped
In the vast world beyond
To keep the flame alive
And guide those who were lost
Sirens
I heard them echoing in the distance
