The Immortal
(Music: Christopher Amott, Michael Amott / Lyrics: Johan Liiva, Michael Amott)
This liquid vision of euphoria
Living a life on borrowed time
Paying the price of immortality
Desperately avoiding our fate
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn... human dignity dethroned
Forevermore - A life never ending
Time stands still as the immortals keep on breeding
The future is locked within us
All we need is the key
Crying at the fountain of youth
Eternal life is killing me
Thriumphant in chariots they ride
On this arena of the undead
Anoher lap of honour for the...
Vacant galleries
Lead me through the halls of tortured souls
Alone, forlorn... human dignity dethroned
Forevermore - A life never ending
Time stands still as the immortals keep on breeding
The future is locked within us
All we need is the key
Crying at the fountain of youth
Eternal life is killing me
(Solos Christopher / Michael)

Dead Inside
(Music: Michael Amott, Christopher Amott / Lyrics: Michael Amott)
(Solo Christopher)
Spiritual isolation
The ultimate frustration
Scratch the surface
Turn another page
The ugly truth or another pretty lie
You deceived me, I believed you
Why did everything go...
So wrong...
For so long...
So the truth comes out at last
So wrong...
For so long...
So the truth comes out at last
I'm dead inside
A hollow shell
In my own misery
You leave me to dwell
I'm burning up
My private hell
In my own misery
You leave me to dwell
Then we were young and strong
Now everything is wrong
Did you want me, did you need me
Could you not say you believed me?
Everything we had is gone...
Like an old forgotten song
The deceiver and believer
Now everything is...
So wrong...
For so long...
So the truth comes out at last
So wrong...
For so long...
So the truth comes out at last
I'm dead inside
A hollow shell
In my own misery
You leave me to dwell
I'm burning up
My private hell
In my own misery
You leave me to dwell
(Solos Christopher / Michael)
So wrong...
For so long
Pilgrim
(Music: Michael Amott, Christopher Amott / Lyrics: Michael Amott)
(Solo Christopher)
From the womb
To the tomb
An eternal struggle for the
Holy truth
We are not the first
Nor shall we be the last
We shall be followed by
Thousands more
Study the scriptures
Intensify the faith
The works of men much greater
Than you or I
From the cradle
To the grave
Thousands of immortal souls
Just waiting to be saved!
Pilgrim man
What are you searching for?
Believe the tales
When everything else fails
Pilgrim man
Deep in your heart you know
Your faith is
Already bought and sold
(Solo Christopher)
All my life
I served the cross
Always believing my God was a
Just one
I maimed for you
I killed for you
But looking back at my life
I just don't know
Anymore...
Pilgrim man
What are you searching for?
Believe the tales
When everything else fails
Pilgrim man
Deep in your heart you know
Your faith is
Already bought and sold
(Solo Michael)

Silverwing
(Music: Michael Amott, Christopher Amott / Lyrics: Michael Amott)
Fly with me on a starlit sky
I'll set you free... Yes, it can be
A dream unchased is a life at waste
Never let them conquer your pride
Our love is warm here
Like the image of a distant sun (sun sun)
This star will always shine
And never, ever fade away
Fly on...
Silverwing
Fly with me...
Stay free...
Silverwing
Seeking truths in spirit skies
Which one of you will guide me tonight?
The milky way tastes sour
Has heaven lost its power?
So let us set sail on this sea of dreams
The moon gets lost in the morning sun
Just let the spinning wheel spin (spin spin)
And let your life begin
Fly on...
Silverwing
Fly with me...
Stay free...
Silverwing
(Solo Michael)
Yeah
(Solo Christopher)
Fly on...
Silverwing
Fly with me...
Stay free...

Demonic Science
(Music: Michael Amott, Christopher Amott / Lyrics: Michael Amott)
The human blood
Is far too thin
The life in it much too fragile
DNA code
Twisted into form
An ancient dream will now be reborn
Demonic!
Science!
A high price for a passion so intense
Demonic!
Science!
This world no longer makes any sense
Save the best
Strip away the rest
Every weakness, every bleakness will be erased
New flesh
For a new world!
Men in white clothes performing the ultimate test
Demonic!
Science!
A high price for a passion so intense
Demonic!
Science!
This world no longer makes any sense
This is the era
This is the time
A new dawn arrives...
The human blood
Is far too thin
The life in it much too fragile
DNA code
Twisted into form
An ancient dream will now be reborn
Save the best
Strip away the rest
Every weakness, every bleakness will be erased
New flesh
For a new world!
Men in white clothes performing the ultimate test
Demonic!
Science!
A high price for a passion so intense
Demonic!
Science!
This world no longer makes any sense
This is the era
This is the time
A new dawn arrives...

Seed of Hate
(Music: Christopher Amott / Lyrics: Michael Amott)
The shape of all my doubts...
My fear
Come closer...
Trust me
Here I stand
In the falling rain
There is no joy
Inside these tears
I see the world through a
Twisted and bitter stare
To be where I have been...
To see what I have seen
Is it a dream?
Or can I believe...
The memories will haunt me for evermore
The shape of all my doubts...
My fear
Come closer...
I trusted you
I am not the man
You used to know
I am different...
Everything is different now
When you left me
You planted a seed of hate in me
Nothing is stronger...
Stronger than this
Is it a dream?
Or can I believe...
The memories will haunt me for evermore
(Solo Michael)
Yeah
(Solo Christopher)
Is it a dream?
Or can I believe...
The memories will haunt me for evermore
Is it a dream?
Or can I believe...
Angelclaw
(Music: Michael Amott, Christopher Amott / Lyrics: Michael Amott)
Angelclaw
A queen of the night
She reigns from her throne of stone
Bringer of evil
A destroyer of souls
Do what thou wilt
Lust is her excuse
She'll use you up
Suck you dry
This beautiful creature
Makes you high
Try to break the spell that is cast
But she knows you all to well
Angelclaw...
Effigy of a God long forgotten
A sickening ritual
She raises the chalice of blood
The hunt starts again...
Angelclaw...
(Solos Michael / Christopher)
Angelclaw...
Angelclaw...
(Solo Michael)
Burning Bridges
(Music & Lyrics: Michael Amott)
So now the bridges are burnt
A lesson learned?
Promises broken
Tender lies softly spoken
Changes in you
Changes in me
Maybe it was never
Meant to be
It wasn't you
It wasn't me
We were far too close
To see
It wasn't you
It wasn't me
We were far too close
To see
Diva Satanica
(Music: Michael Amott, Christopher Amott / Lyrics: Michael Amott)
Divine queen of evil
Sowing her seeds of hate
Mistress of pain
Diva satanica - Master of temptation
Medusa...
Abuser...
Both beast and beauty
Seducer...
She'll use you...
Bring you to your knees
Blinded by her infinite beauty
You are lured into the temple
The smell of incense burning
This carnal pleasure yearning
Bride of satan
Transgress the rules of this world
Too late you realize
This love is ripping you apart
Medusa...
Abuser...
Both beast and beauty
Seducer...
She'll use you...
As fodder for her dreams
Drinking the blood
Eating the flesh
She's getting high on you
Watching you die
Gives her a thrill
...There is always more blood to spill...
