Hate Hell 05:02
lyrics

Filth Scum of the earth Neighbour, deceiver I show my disdain, sir A challenge? No sir not me But if you call me devil Then I sir have no option The chaos that rises Again to the surface All that hate hell And all that hate you Swordsmen and liars Schemers and deceivers In whose name do you fight And in whose name would you kill Impassioned I call you In hate I see you seeth Do not call out mercy, child With a sword in your hand Your filthy name I do despise I spit at your feet And just as I hate hell sir I most certainly hate you The chaos that rises Again to the surface All that hate hell And all that hate you Swordsmen and liars Schemers and deceivers In whose name do you fight And in whose name would you kill Listen all I am of peace and thou art of I Thou’s blood I shall have if thou shall spill theirs I grow weary of thou’s games

Absolve Me 04:51
lyrics
buy track
Can anybody out there help me Can anybody out there save my soul Stars, explain to me my curse Why am I condemned to love? Would you fight on such a night as this Would you spill his blood to satisfy your ego Would you kill him for this intrusion Stay your hand, and make peace By God and by the stars she’s gorgeous Never have I loved before Never have I known the sweet stealings of lust Never have I desired till now Take me, absolve me I plead Perfection incarnate before me Take me, absolve me I plead Sin from one to the next Absolution from yourself Now which of us is righteous, whom the sinner I take my sin with gratitude once again Take me, absolve me I plead Perfection incarnate before me Take me, absolve me I plead No, why? Could I love one such as this An enemy, hated for so long Of what toxin have my lips drunk And yet, still, I would return If only to find love, one more night Can I find closure, can we both be absolved Let me drink of the enemy once more

In Haste 03:46
lyrics

I’d offer you the stars If only they’d obey I’d promise you the world If it meant I were whole You wouldn’t act too rashly would you Here on a night like this You wouldn’t be a fool To only catch my heart I’d kill for you my love If only it meant I had thee I’d forsake my father's name If it meant I could be yours You wouldn’t act with blinders To follow your heart's desire Now do you hear my voices call It promises itself to you

Benevolence 05:12
lyrics

Dance, tyrant dance Dance before my sword Would you deny me, your enemy? Again I tell you, dance Fine villain, I will take up my sword If the accused will not draw his Dance with me until the night For now I play my tune And the sword caught under the arm And drove its purpose home Bleeding and dead, on the streets Villains one and all And now I take my sword against For a beloveds blood he did spill In my love my hate must survive I must now take the torch Dance, tyrant dance I sing you a new tune I’ll have you dead while the sun still shines I will teach you of revenge Would a boy draw a sword against a man And claim himself the master I give you the dance today thou villain Open now his families crypt And the sword struck true, into the flesh And drove its purpose home Bleeding and dead, on the streets Villains one and all What sin do you come against me with I grow tired of your ways Blood is spilt, but who is wrong Would you not better yourselves? If the last villain does not now leave town Tomorrow I shall have his head

Intro Exile 03:08
lyrics
buy track
I’ll hold to you tight Just this one last night The wolves are out to get me my dear But in my absence do not fear, I will return! Forced apart now, because of death A bane yes, but I will survive I will think of you often my love And that alone will keep me alive I’ve always loved you dearly From the moment I first saw thee And though we were sworn apart I shall always remember thee fondly You are the light in this world And you pierce the darkest night I’ll hold your memory close to heart And a kiss on each cheek So if we never do get to speak again Let me pour out my affection to you Always did I love thee, and always will I hold thee Remember me always, the love of my life I watch your receding form Against a darkened sky Cursed I claim us, cured I will us Forever I hold you my dear

Of Villains and Villains 06:01
lyrics
buy track
I would not marry him Let me grieve a little longer Better to marry the one you call villain Then to marry the one you seek You will do as you’re told daughter Or your father will find out Obey child, it is your duty Matrimony waits for you You serve Girl you would not forget my place Look to my face search for my will Disobey and I’ll toss you to the sun Would it please you to kill me To gaze upon my corpse? I do not serve I am my own I am a martyr to my love A concoction I’ll give To remedy your distress Dead to the world not to your soul An addition to your love New life awaits Beyond these forlorn walls My love I come again Wait for me I come

She is dead I guess my absence killed her Her love was too strong She couldn’t bear to be parted And inside I find I’m not strong enough either I loved you in life So I’ll love you beyond Thou apothecary, death I give my coin, I sell my soul She is dead I guess my absence killed her Her heart, it couldn’t hold Against all of which asked her Her love was too strong She couldn’t bear to be parted And inside I find I’m not strong enough either I loved you in life So I’ll love you beyond Thou apothecary, death I give my coin, I sell my soul In death my love! I am returning to you! With poisonous remedy my love! I am returning to you!

To Death 03:37
lyrics

Blood within the crypt The fallen before me All I loved taken from me For nothing to remain I’m sorry my friend for your fate I’m sure you loved her dear We’ll all sacrifice before the night is through Yet maybe we’ll all find our peace And so I toast ye death And so I toast ye love This poison, this toxin, this tonic My love I’m coming home So Pluto save us a bed Within thine fair domain To leave this tale behind In sweet rest I find my peace And so I toast ye death And so I toast ye love This poison, this toxin, this tonic My love I’m coming home So Pluto save us a bed Within thine fair domain To leave this tale behind Thus with a kiss I die

Homecoming 06:24
lyrics

I’m awake In the cold dark night They shall bring me to my love And I shall this behind Treachery The stench of death is here A lover slain by a foulest hand And no, my dearest hope Is there life after this This loss, this pain, this ache Life is pointless if I am alone I am a ghost with no soul Let me drink of his lips once more May the poison doom my heart My soul is cold and in the grave There is no longer any meaning To my heart I shall raise this blade This dagger, knife, sacred athame And in death shall I be with my love Pluto save us a bed! There is no life after this This loss this pain this ache Life is pointless if I am alone I am a ghost with no soul A shining light A beckoning sound A joyous warmth A heavenly sight Angelic choirs Death, I reach out to thee I’m coming home! I will find my life after this In death with him I love Father, mother I didn’t abandon you I’ve found my peace, so don’t grieve for me I’m coming home

Truth 05:18
lyrics

Here she is My angel Born into this better world How radiant she looks In the ethereal moonlight Come my love sit by my side Stumbling in confusion, once again There is nothing but hate down there Of this will they dissolve To oblivion And now the truth comes out The crooked liar yet he loved us so I won’t blame him and nor should you I’ll always trust where his heart lies Watch them fix their tarnished legacy Lament each others losses For never was a tale of greater woe Than that of me and you my Romeo So peace settles over the town Peace enshrined in melancholy Sleep Verona, sleep again We tell thee it is finished You were the only light in the darkness The hope beyond the evil So come my love sit by side(so come my love sit by my side) We’ll remain together forever
