1. The Root of All Evil (intro)

[instrumental]


2. Beast of Man

[Lead: Michael]

Beware the beast of man
For he's the devil's 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

[Lead: Christopher, Michael, Christopher]


3. 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 stand still as the immortals keeps on breeding...

The is locked within us
All we need is the key
Crying at the fountains of youth
Eternal life is killing me

Triumphant in chariots they ride
On this arena of the un-dead
Another 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


4. Diva Satanica


5. Demonic Science


6. 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

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


7. Dead Inside


8. Dark Insanity


9. 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!

[Chorus:]
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...

[Chorus]


10. Demoniality

[Instrumental]


11. Transmigration Macabre


12. Silverwing


13. Bridge of Destiny
