LYRICS
Verse 1
In this land of heathens only misery we find.
Lord of the lost is leading the children of the blind.
They are just empty shells with no soul within.
Brothers of godlessness and sisters of sin.
Bridge
We don't make the rules. We are only servants of the lord.
In this land of fools, in his name we raise our sword.
Chorus
In the lands of sin and sorrow, we are the bringers of tomorrow. Take our hand and praise the lord and you will be reborn.
We don’t care to whom you bow, salvation will be here and now. Take your hand, we'll show you how, we are the Rise of the Black Dawn.
Verse 2
We bring salvation to this godforsaken horde.
So many unthankful for the Bounty of the lord.
Unholy altars and the idols made of stone.
The scent of the sacrifice leads us to heathen throne.

LYRICS
Verse 1
My lord what was in your mind when you descended to the earth, in the likeness of your son, born in virgin birth.
Was that the only way to break your own damn rules - to forgive the crimes of men and sins of the fools.
Chorus 1
My Lord, What kind of judgement will we face, you tried to sacrifice your son but he still woke up in three days.
Oh My Lord, oh can you clearly state your will for men who torture, rape and kill in the name of you.
Verse 2
I kneel before your altar with your holy book in hand. I've said my prayers, drawn your symbols in the sand.
By holy scriptures I made your livestock sacrament. Are you pleased with the symmetry? Are you pleased with the scent?
Chorus 2
My lord, can you give me more than just an illusion? Your silence will create confusion in their hearts.
Oh My lord, What happened to the love of your son? No grave is deep enough to hide what we've done, in the name of you.
Bridge:
Oh lord, my soul is empty. Oh lord, so weak is my faith. Are we just lowly minions in eternal game of LOVE and HATE?
Oh lord, my heart is weary. Oh lord, I've had my share of war. If this is righteous way, I can't believe any more.

LYRICS
Verse 1
There's smoke in the distance. We smell life in the wind. We hear the beat of the heathen drums and the melodies of sin.
We are on a mission to teach the wisdom of our lord. Some will learn from the books, some will learn from the sword.
Bridge:
Under celestial light, your heretics we will fight, light of God shines to open their eyes
Chorus:
Behold the Rise of the Black Dawn, we will show you the way. We are takers and the givers …in the land of unbelievers
New color of the morning sun will forever light your way. No saints and only sinners….in the land of unbelievers
Verse 2
We come from afar and we have great news to tell. Only we can save them from the fires of hell.
Some will worship the mountain gods, some will bow to the woods. Some will dance with the devil in their secret brotherhoods.
“Prayer”
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Outro
No saints and only sinners … in the land of unbelievers.
No saints and only sinners.
Some will worship the mountain gods, some will bow to the woods, some will dance with the devil in their secret brotherhoods.
We are on a mission to teach the wisdom of our lord. Some will learn from the books …and some… they will learn from the sword.

Beautiful Madness

LYRICS:
Verse 1
Give a shelter to poor - that's what kindness is for. You will never know when you are the one who knocks at the door. To end famine and greed, only take what you need. And when you take what you need, you should plant a new seed.
Lend your legs to the lame, make them part of the game. Lend your eyes to the blind, you never know what you'll find. Lend your hand to old man, give him a hug while you can. Walk a mile in their shoes, there will be nothing to lose.
CHORUS
Life isn't easy and life isn't fair. There are millions of reasons to drown in despair. But when you are who you wanna be and are the change that you wanna see …. that's the beautiful madness.
Don't blame your fathers and don't blame your land. You still have to play with the cards in your hand. If you open your mind, fortune favors the kind …..in the beautiful madness.
Verse 2
Give your children a choice to hear their own inner voice. Its not for you to draw the line between the girls and the boys. Different shades of the race are for you to embrace. Don't sentence the skin, judge the human within.
If there's god with a plan, it can't be changed by a man. Leave your prayers behind and just do what you can. You should not hesitate, love will conquer the hate. When you do what you must, the walls will crumble to the dust.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
There is no time to burn for those who must unlearn.
This sounds like madness….but it's beautiful madness.
When HATE will tell you to divide, you should unite.
This sounds like madness….but it's beautiful madness.
That sounds like utopia that will conquer dystopia to create a beautiful world.
CHORUS 2:
Life isn't easy, life isn't fair. There are millions of reasons to drown in despair. But when you are who you wanna be and are the change that you wanna see, that's the beautiful madness.
Don't blame your fathers and don't blame your land. They were pawns in a game that you don't understand . If you open your mind, Fortune favors the kind …..in the beautiful madness
Join the beautiful madness ….to create a beautiful world.

LYRICS
Verse 1
We will strike at night, before the morning light. Put them back to sleep without a fight.
We need to cut the ties to your web of lies. Your fortune will be your demise.
Bridge 1
You are the favored son but not the chosen one. You have betrayed us all and we will come for you, master of the blind.
Verse 2
Your name was known, all around the town, you were the jester and the clown.
You always broke the rules, you think they are for fools. Lived like there is nothing more to lose.
Bridge 2
We are not our brothers’ keepers, we are just true believers. You have betrayed us all and we will come for you, master of the blind.
Chorus
Master of the blind, we can recognize your kind. You are a man of smoke and mirrors and you poison all their minds.
Master of the blind, we can recognize your kind. When you search deep inside your soul you will find - just a Master of the blind
Bridge 3
It’s a dangerous world, my brother. It is a dangerous world. You are my only kin, why have you chosen sin? Those holy waters…. they will always be much thicker than our blood.
It’s a dangerous world, my brother. It is a dangerous world. You were best friend of mine, but you chose the devil’s side. My heart's not cold and bare, this is a mask I have to wear….
...in this dangerous world, my brother. It is a dangerous world. Many were the games we played, many things are left unsaid. Those holy waters … they will always be much thicker than our blood.

LYRICS
Verse 1:
We left in the night at the sign of a knock and we walked through the woods to the fishermens' dock.
We took week's worth of food and a barrel of ale and we left to the unknown to start a new tale.
It hurt us to leave, but it kills us to stay, when those bigots and zealots will stand in our way.
Our friends and our hearts may be all that we got when conviction is thicker than blood.
CHORUS:
It's a long way to freedom my friend, but the kindness and justice will win in the end.
Where these winds will us lead, where these rivers will flow, only the mountains will know.
It's a cold world to lay down your roots if your children are walking in warmonger’s boots.
Where these winds will us lead, where these rivers will flow, only the mountains will know.
Verse 2
:
There are shepherds who claim to have heard the God’s will in companionless travels to deserts and hills.
They are telling their stories in their god’s name but there is no eyewitness to back up their claim.
But prophets and mages they know all the words that can make all those townspeople flock like the birds.
Unkindness of ravens or flight of the doves. There is a choice to be made between HATE and the LOVE.

Traitor

Verse 1
In the heart of night they left and they sneaked behind the sheds.
What they left behind is a letter and eleven empty beds.
How they left and where they go, that's something only god will know.
You should leave it in his hands.
Bridge 1
I know that he deserves to die but he will not deserve your time.
He is just a Judas of our time...
Chorus
He is a traitor, He is not a man of his word,
He is a traitor, just the black sheep of the herd
He said that he is your friend but he just played you for a fool
He is a traitor, he is just a devil's tool
Verse 2
He is a man who plays your friend, it's just a means to an end.
He only cares about his needs and he will bite the hand that feeds
Before you know it is your turn to watch the bridges as they burn.
It's all part of his game.
Bridge 2
I know that he deserves to die but he will not deserve your time.
There are hordes of unbelievers that you will have to fight.
He'll be punished for his crime, it's for him the bells will chime.
He is just a Judas of our time...

LYRICS
Verse 1
As fas as I recall, I've always had this role.
Long-term justice is my solitary goal.
The weight of this world, I did never learn, oh no.
Every round of game, I make my own plan.
But I am just one of them, I will do what I can.
I will always care, but life will not be fair.
I'm teacher and student of the GAME.
Chorus 1
TIME will guard all the children of the GAME, all those HATE will try to separate. And only LOVE knows how to heal the broken hearts and so we go - round and round again.
Verse 2
I have wandered in all these empty halls
Often pondered on the purpose of this all
But wheels will have to turn until the people learn, oh yeah.
I have seen many temples turn to dust.
I've observed the work of pride, greed and lust.
If that is just a game, who am I to blame, oh yeah.
I have witnessed all unnecessary wars.
I don't intervene, I am just keeping scores.
But in some distant round, my justice comes around.
I'm master and servant of the GAME.
Chorus 2
TIME will guard all the children of the GAME all those HATE will try to separate. And only LOVE knows how to heal the broken hearts and so we go - round and round again.
TIME, LOVE, HATE - we are the trinity of fate. We turn the wheels until the GAME has run its course. If there's a higher force, we may be merely pawns turning the wheels - round and round again
Bridge:
These halls, have seen all the empires fall.
They echo all their ancestors calls
The ancient mysteries, repeating histories
And all their destinies will be written on…
These walls, have seen the joys and tears of them all.
The heroes and the fools, great and small.
They whisper lies and share
False hope and despair
But they surround the only home I have ever known.
Choir Chant
Year of Cancer
Year of Leo
Lead us into
Year of Virgo
Year of Libra
Year of Scorpio
Leads us back to
Year of Virgo
Chorus 3:
TIME will guard all the children of the GAME all those HATE will try to separate. And only LOVE knows how to heal the broken hearts and so we go - round and round again.
TIME, LOVE, HATE - we are the trinity of fate. We turn the wheels until the GAME has run its course. Is there a higher force who will find another cause to turn the wheels, round and round again.
Will there be HATE or LOVE or none of the above, when big wheel turns round and round again?
