In the darkness of the rivers of death, The flowing waters swarm without breath, Among the shadows of buried laments, souls sink into ice without end Crows caw in the endless sky, While the black waves drag the pain… Sirens cry sinister prayers Calling souls to their horror caves Among the ruins of forgotten lands, Despair dances with fate sands rivers run their bloody beds In a dance with no mercy or forgiveness… Rivers of Death On the shores, reflected faces look broken like shattered glass, In the black waves, pain feeds, agony that knows no saints. And in the bleaker rivers of death, Time dissolves in the endless void… In the darkness of the rivers of death, The flowing waters swarm without breath, Among the shadows of buried laments, souls sink into ice without end Crows caw in the endless sky, While the black waves drag the pain… Rivers of Death

control is just an illusion. your mind belongs to me. look at my right hand. the empty hand. the one that takes. but consider the left hand. the clenched one. the unconscious fist that destroys. the wind between the gravestones the hand on the scythe there is an omen in blood of the wandering dead I am the grim reaper I am the empty hand the one that shows the way until the end of all times

Holy Sabbath Has Arrived Mother Mary Wore Her Mantle She Had No One With Her And So She Left Alone… Holy Sabbath Found Satan Before Her "Mary Where Are You Going?" "I'm Looking For My Son... He's Been Missing For Three Days." Holy Sabbath You Lost Him And I Found Behind Pilate's Dark Doors He Had Been Bloody Scourged A Crown Of Thorns On His Head… Holy Sabbath

White flowers in her red hair Tears smell like the woods Fly, imagine Get lost among the stars And the veil of reality is shaking Powerful men in golden tunics Spreading the fear of sin Religious fanatics generate centuries of terror… Freedom of thought burned by fire The woman pointed out, accused, tortured Caught in the grip of a privileged few who worship God… Heretics, child-eaters, Satan-worshipping witches... burn at the stake! What remains is shame and an acrid smell of smoke blown away by the wind…
