Arch Enemy Black Earth (1996) Stigmata (1998) Burning Bridges (1999) Wages Of Sin (2001) Black Earth Bury Me An Angel Symbolical and mystical Between life and death we're torn A constant struggle Like an apocrypha Nobody can be certain A thousand days, spent in hell The ultimate sacrifice Your voyage starts With a question mark But the distant future Will not tell [Chorus:] Bury me an angel Set my black soul free!! Blackened chariots Bearing evil souls Ride the surface of burning holes Nocturnal... traveller You represent the ruined spirit Symbolical and mystical You shall be damned for all time Dark Insanity Weak and sick I crawl In the dust of past mistakes Leaving for the darkness Of tears and cold heartaches Suffer in this grief Of forever burning hate The ashes of my life By the torment you create [Chorus:] On my knees... remembering The wasted years of dark insanity The rage increases fast As the memories eat me alive God, I wish this to end But I'm not prepared to die No more a human being Just a fool of anxiety Unable to escape The darkest insanity Eureka Stumbling through This complex puzzle that is my life Thirsty for knowledge But drinking from poisoned fountains Flashbacks from my past God knows how long I'll last Images of you Leading my soul astray These four walls Are closing in, suffocating me My last wish is to Transcend from this dimension of boredom Wrap your arms around me Like a circle around the sun I loved you so Why couldn't you love me? [Chorus:] EUREKA! - I found the secret of life!? EUREKA! Idolatress These gardens of angst In which I stand Lost and confused Hungry for more Eager to cross This river of tears Safe in this void In which I live Free from despair Weaving a web Surrounding my soul Imprisoned distress [Chorus:] In a world of dying angels Trespassers on unknown domains Traumatic defeat This time I'll burn For one thousand years Bearing the truth Deep down inside It dies with me Taste the pure salt Of misery Hell's ecstasy Feel destiny Breathe in your neck Cut you so deep Twisting my mind Living in sin Dying within Wicked and mean Sinister eyes Staring at me Cosmic Retribution Behold the apocalypse The end is closing in Did you ever really doubt That we would pay for our sins... [Chorus:] The heavens will burn No one can save us now Everything we once loved Shall perish in flames... Armageddon coming on A black dawn slowly rising The heat will slowly consume you Like a moth around a flame Out of this silent planet A single sign of life appears A man made machine Carrying an embryo of human life... Transmigration Macabre Trapped in a downward spiral of pain Horrific memories, your life flashing by There is no life left for you to live You've had your share and more Act of transfusion - blood child! Transmigrate into the future or the past Eternal damnation awaits you my love In the kingdom of the sick and the rotting dead You will suffer excruciating pain You shall now reap the twisted fruit Of what you once sowed Transparent - revealing the lies Transmutation - What you have become Act of transfusion - blood child! Transmigrate into the future or the past Fields Of Desolation On the fields of desolation We are all alone Crying in each others arms In fear of the unknown Feelings of uncertainty We are all doomed To live in solitude And never ending gloom On the fields of desolation Eternal life or termination Why don't you cover me I need your sanctuary This sea I'm drowning in Might be where the end begins In times of grief and sadness We're searching for the light Seek for a place of safety Seek for a place to hide God turned his back on man In divine resignation Torn between two believes Eternal life or termination? As we drown in darkness Weak and depraved On our final journey Too late to be saved We've gone through places Where the cold wind blows Is this the end of it all I don't know, I don't know Losing Faith As I walk alone Paralysed and frozen Weakened by the fact It is the life that I have chosen [Chorus:] This is life that I believed in Sentences me without mercy Staring down the depths Of the mind once again Regret this way of living Retrospectives in the end Losing faith in heaven Now conform to hell Blindfolds of romance This pain I can not bear Stigmata Beast Of Man Beware the beast of man For he's the devils pawn Alone among god's primates He kills for sport, lust or greed The sacred scrolls... The truth unfolds... Shun him - or become like him Shun him - the beast of man Let him not breed in great numbers For he will make a dessert of his home and yours Shun him - drive him back into his jungle lair For he is the harbinger of death Sinister Mephisto Into the night - the darkest corner of my mind Sink into my inner self, an erotic fantasy A spiralling vortex - an instant alter ego fix Here I am the ruler of all, in this kingdom of sin (Floating in a dreamlike state I am the emperor of a paralell universe) Sinister mephisto - ride the sky Sinister mephisto - the ultimate high What I can't have in actuality I feast upon in my "reality" An extravaganza of forbidden pleasures No sexual wish dark enough, to suppress I am no longer a mortal man As master of the ceremony - divine perversion I hereby declare the orgy to begin Ravage yoru luscious virgin flesh (how I love it) My cup runneth over - drink my distilled insanity Dark Of The Sun Like insects of the night, we are drawn into the light Feeding off the starglow energy - controlling our fate Bloodsucker selling hope to the hopeless Newborn messiah or the devil incarnate? Surrounded by a field of lost souls These feeble minds - so easy to control Salvation Damnation It's all the same to you But does anyone really know What the future holds in store A day will come When the sun will rise again Rays of black will shine And together as one, We will walk in the dark of the sun Say a prayer for the unborn child in the womb The children are the heirs of this dogmatic chaos Is there a future in this claustrophobic tomb? We can only rely upon ourselves, to save us We are the resistance, our last line of defense Prepared to fight for our promised land Rebels at heart, they will hunt us to the ends of the earth The chase is on - forever going on and on Let The Killing Begin Anxiety prevails in the end On deathrow awaiting my fate Sacrificed upon the altars of justice Part of the ritual of ultimate fear Determined men prepare to slay Executioners axe draws near On my way to depart from life Lost all sense, all the gallows I will die! Let the killing begin Let the end your life of sin Feel the torment within As the beauty of death sets in Counting the days, the sleepless nights Wide awake in a state of lunacy Voices echo inside my head Haunting memories, punishing me Through a tunnel of madness These endless catacombs Left to die in a pit of confusion Swept away by a wave of illusion Black Earth Across the lake of fire Through the desserts of decay The flames are burning higher In this land of death you're easy prey Black Earth Save - Our - Souls Looking back in anger At the twentieth century Tormented we surrender In artificial serenity Twisted, torn and burnt Violation of the crust Man got what man deserved Turned the future into dust A millenary failure The dark age has returned Waiting for a miracle To save the common herd "In a century of darkness The horror spreads within - As our planet stops to turn All hope is lost for man" Tears Of The Dead Hideous crimes, atrocities The slaughter of millions - beyond belief Those were dark times, so different from now The law of evil ruled our fatherland I was but a pawn in their game Why should I feel any guilt? Still when I close, close my eyes The words unfold, it all comes back I can't defy it, can't deny it I know it ot be true In my sleep - they come to haunt me They know it to be true Tears of the dead We are all on the turning wheel of fate A young man, standing proud in uniform I never stopped to hesitate Until it was far to late My hands are soiled, covered in blood Stains that never wash away Their hollow eyes... Confronting me - Judging me Now an old man, at the end of my days Contemplating - My life of sin Living is never simple - the rosad is hard I had no say - just a puppet in a sick play Bridge Of Destiny Standing at the bridge of destiny So long since I tasted fear Lurking in the darkest holes Awaiting my minds weakest moment Old words from an old world Against the laws of nature They say the truth is overrated Wall of anger corrupts my thought Standing at the bridge of destiny Show me a sign On the verge of losing my sanity Free my soul My inner demons torture me Flapping their wings in my face Damn you! You twisted illusion I am no longer afraid See through their liquid souls Evil eyes that will hypnotize You can no longer hurt me I am my own worst enemy Unleash the trapped souls of the dead Spirits since long forgotten Guardians fo the lost faith Destined for glory? Watch them all turn into sand And the wind blow them away Wisdom pours into my soul ...endlessly... Burning Bridges The Immortal 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 Triumphant 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 Dead Inside Spiritual Isolation - The ultimate frustration Scratch the surface, tuurn 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 I'm dead inside (I'm burning up) A hollow shell (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. Pilgrim 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 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... Silverwing 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 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 And let your life begin Demonic Science 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 This is the era - this is the time A new dawn arrives... Seed Of Hate 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 Angelclaw 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 Bu 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... Burning Bridges 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 Diva Satanica 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... Wages Of Sin Enemy Within Dark thoughts rise up Deep in your mind The killing of hope The end has begun The locked psycho-door breaks down The beast breathes freedom and fire Blows bloody thoughts into your mind Demons whisper: "COMMIT SUICIDE!" Weak is your body, Helpless your soul, The beast destroyed your will Left nothing but an empty shell Self-destruction leads its way Your weapons turn against yourself Cutting through, killing you A downward spiral, the shadowbeast has won The shadowbeast calls A vulture of life Your worst enemy dwells From within Burning Angel Dark shadows from above Ravens fly, obliterate the sun "It's a sign of the devil. He will come for his servant tonight" These are dark times Suspicious minds breed like rats Guardians of corrupt morality Spread their filthy lies Am I to burn I have not sinned! Burnt at the stake. Innocent blood that can never be washed clean The flames of ignorance Grow higher and higher Licking my flesh - burning my soul The raven laughing in the moon These are dark times Suspicious minds breed like rats. Guardians of corrupt morality Spread their filthy lies again... Heart Of Darkness You can't kill me. I am living inside you. I am a part of your existence Twisted thoughts in a twisted mind Provoking you Black is my heart - dark is my soul My hatred I can not control Evil seed growing stronger Your freewill... Dying! Inside you - heart of darkness A part of you - heart of darkness To deny me, is to deny yourself. The illusion is dissolved You are no longer in control The facade crumbles - the transition is complete ...The transition is complete I come to you in the night I am your dark subconscience I keep you awake, knowing I am the heart of darkness Ravenous I am hunting for your soul It dwells within your heart I lacerate the pounding flesh Your spirits shall be mine So rise my spirit rise! Revel in this dead mans' body Grip his soul, sip the blood Life is death A holy carnage Ravenous I will be your god Carnivorous Jesus I need your flesh Ritual slaughter Fill up the chalice With the essence of your life Liquid strengths Trapped in your veins I crave your blood You must die! Savage Messiah Meet your maker Rising from the ashes Like a phoenix to the sky So intense, so glorious... Uncontrollable desire For our souls The great lawgiver So high and mighty The immaculate deception A taker of life With unbridled aggression Striking down on the disbelievers Savage - Messiah Take us higher Savage - Messiah Take us now! Blessed in blood We are reborn in hate Thousands of spirits cry So intense, so glorious... Uncontrollable desire For our souls The great Messiah So high and mighty Dead Bury Their Dead I leave the anguish behind Scars are healing - I am set free The chains of guilt are in the past They no longer have a hold on me Dead bury their dead I walk through Elysian Fields The light is shining on me Time marches on... Web Of Lies Weaving a web - of lies and deceit It's a dangerous game - we play All this time - the pain eating us away All this time - the memories refuse to fade A rotting shell of dying trust We share this hell at any cost Phases and stages Circles and cycles And empty charade This pointless masquerade A dangerous game A dangerous game - we play Web of lies I can see it in your eyes Web of lies You can see it in my eyes It will never be the same We have gone too far this time Our temple of false dreams Comes crashing down... A rotting shell of dying trust We shared this hell at any cost The First Deadly Sin Step inside the circle of fire Flames of desire enlighten the night Follow your instinct Burn and writhe in ecstasy Love will turn to hate Heat will turn to ice There is nothing in between The first deadly sin Ancient taboo takes control The demon eve possesses your soul Riding high above the flames You will step into hell Dwell in passionate evil Forbidden fruits of lust Embrace and kiss the face of death It's your first deadly sin Behind The Smile Sands of time Running through my fingers My life slipping away And I feel nothing Swallow the tears Eat the pain - It's worth the degradation - Eat the pain Behind the smile / I feel nothing I reach out to touch, but I'm not really there This reflection in the mirror Can't reality be me I see no connection With who I wanted to be Drink another glass Swallow these pills At the end of the rainbow You take the bitter The bitter with the sweet When love dies The angels cry Here I am Alone... Alone in a crowd Shadows And Dust At the mercy of our conscience Confined within our fate Never really questioned why We are refugees in a dying world To become a part of the end Are we the ones, the ones to blame? We are mortals of shadows and dust The sun sets on our sinking ship of fools On our journey into oblivion We ask ourselves again and again Now will we be remembered Shadows... And dust... Lament Of A Mortal Soul I am forced to creep down the path Of my sad and senseless life Darkness surrounds me At the end of teh tunnel there is no light A blackened void, nothingness Lament of a mortal soul Who am I? Only dust in the blowing wind Am I dying? My name dies slowly Echoes into eternal oblivion Replaced by others, castly forgotten I hate my empty existence Lament of a mortal soul Who am I? Only dust in the blowing wind ...I am dying! All lyrics are the property and copyright of their respective owners and provided for educational purposes and personal use only
