Arriving to the scene, corpse on a plain sight
Murder, it cannot be unseen
A body to be found in an obscure manner
No blood on the ground, bloodletting by a master
The purity, he took his time
He had a vision, to perfect the crime
Clearly a ritual, has to be a clue
Seems sacrificial, an M.O truly new
RED RUM
The Dark Ritual
RED RUM
Body Void of Blood
RED RUM
A madness Perpetual
A Lust for Sanguine Lifeblood
Wasn ́t the first, sure as hell won ́t be the last He ́ll kill again, I’ll have to move fast
There ́s no lead, he ́s too good
A mastermind indeed, those in Hollywood
A puzzle to be solved, I ́ll crack the case The mystery unveiled, he ́ll leave a trace
The act was brutal, like a piece of art Resistance futile, but I can tell them apart
Chorus
TRULY THE ART OF MURDER
NO BLOOD
LIFEBLOOD

as weeks
turn to months
he keeps in hiding
he kills again
the ritual’s the same
I'll end his reign
this ancient way
again on lunar day
there’s no running away
searching diaries
deep in libraries
the answer is there
Chorus
like chasing a shadow
i can’t let it go
dark books tell the tale
that set me on his trail
chasing a shadow
a mighty foe
dark books tell the tale
the mystery will unveil
Verse 2
A literate man
came to me
says he can guide me
sheds light on the case
almost grasping the answer
this world is a maze
an odd man
a polite man
indeed a wise man
Ancient legends
tell the truth
necromancy is the key
Chorus
Bridge
Still…
…A piece missing…
The answer…
…keeps…
…Eluding me
Chorus
The Mystery
WILL

Isolated, not alone
My thoughts are not my own anymore
Strict mind dissolving walls
Fill ́em with conjectures and symbols
Abandoned my kin, deserted wife and offspring
By drinking too much, loading veins with drugs
Years of evidence and material
Where ́s the answer, where can it be found
Seek existence in a mirror
But it ́s not my reflection
Come tomorrow again
Won ́t quit even if I go insane
Saw the sun before this begun
Unveil the shadow by blowing off some dust
I ́m living in a head of a murderer
Solution hanging by a thread
Like being controlled by conjurer
Every night dreams blood red
Where ́s my mind, where has it gone
Am I a fool neglecting all?
There ́s a man in a mirror
But it ́s not my reflection
Chorus
Searching through everything I have ever found
Diving in my mind to see what ́s it all about
Browsing papers, thousands of papers, portraits painted
Shadow lies in a picture it looks just like HIM
Avoiding death like this, impossibly bound
Two men are the same, when was he born?
Hundreds of years, it clears, answers awaken
The wise man I met, it must be HIM
Searching through everything I have ever found
Diving in my mind to see what ́s all about
Avoiding death like this impossibly bound
Two men are the same, where is he now?
Avoiding death like this impossibly bound
Diving in my mind to see what ́s all about
Searching through everything I have ever found
It ́s dead or alive, law abides, get out now

The Confession
03:39
|

Driving like a maniac to make an arrest
Keep on accelerating, red lights won ́t keep me waiting
Same bar every night, I ́ve got the suspect in my sight
As I start to read his rights, he says there ́s something you should know
Why do you think I sit here alone
I ́ve been waiting for you all along
Now listen carefully because..
..I practise conjuring and necromancy
All the murders were done by me
So let me tell you the receipt for a sacrifice
You already know how long I ́ve been alive
I am the one you ́ve been looking for
And I ́ve got a secret for you
If you want to survive the end of life
Then somebody has to die
And if you want to stand the test of time
An innocent one must die
You are to become my partner in crime
All my powers are to be yours
It all seems so fascinating
Immortality or morality
Is it something I can ́t justify
He practises conjuring and necromancy
All the murders were done by him
So better brace yourself but not for a fight
I already know how long I ́ve been alive

Why I chose you, I ́m overdue
I ́ve seen enough, there ́s nothing on this earth
anymore
The world lost it, the unity
The vanity took its place
Now I ́m going to the other side
Man lost himself in the pages of history
For a sake of a man made god
Unanswered questions, I seek redemption
It can ́t be found here, leaving to the other side
Descent to darkness and may the bridges burning light the way
Ascend from madness to walk among gods
It is your destiny
Mankind has failed, brotherhood has been lost
The prison of the mind
And the cancer of your soul
Complete the ritual, sacrifice your family
Through death you ́ll be born again
Reclaim your throne
To have this power a sacrifice is needed
Blood of your family completes the ritual
Provide the lifeblood and I will guide you
Let go of yourself and be born anew

Necromancy Cascade
05:49

Through darkness of future past
The necromancer wants to see
One chance between two worlds
Never to be complete
They wouldn ́t understand
Amidst the mist echoed a squeal
Walk with me
The lack of empathy, obsession to necessity
My manifest destiny
The match is lit, mind has been set
Grab them from their beds and bring them to me
Can you smell the sulphur, scorched oil, feel your blood boil?
Don ́t try to avoid what you were made to be
Imprisoned in eternal cell
Firm grasp around their necks
Can you hear the toll of the bell
Accompanying our last dance
Cascade
Fall
Enough is enough it ́s time to start
Let us start
Knock `em out cold and silence comes
Lights out
Cascade
Fall
Take them now lock in a trunk
It is done
Don ́t forget your shovel and shotgun
Load it up
Drive ́em far to hang on a wall
Upside down
Now take this knife and begin the ritual
They didn ́t understand
Amidst the mist echoed a scream
Walk with me
The lack of empathy, obsession to necessity
My manifest destiny
They didn ́t understand
To diverging stream
Walk with me
Obsessions, necessities, my manifest destiny
Cascading necromancy

Paradigm Shift

Well how did I come this far
Moments away from becoming immortal
A bloody overflow
Sanguine entity hits the floor
Hardened veins filled with black tar
Cannot be torn apart
Did I come this far?
Unfinished piece of art
And I feel his breath behind me
A lust for lives to end
A mission merciless
A sense of fear
A glance in their eyes, commencing to comprehend
My mind had been poisoned
What have I become, blackened heart
Soul full of tar wickedness took part
What have I become, brother in arms
So full of tar wickedness took part
Do it!
Little lives mean nothing
Do it!
Life eternal forthcoming
Do it!
Beginning of a new end
Do it!
And I won ́t be bent
Do it!
Amending
So rip your head right off for me
Sudden awakening
The end is near, this reign ends here
And the necromancer soon to be fucking dead

War is Path to Victory

War! Iron curtain call!
Fist coils into an iron ball
Don ́t need a fucking gun
When I ram fist thousand miles an hour
To his sternum shattering bones to dust
Doesn ́t stagger at all, extending claw
Slits my wrist blood begins to pour
What do you think you know ́bout war?
I ́ve seen it all and a thousand more
Not giving up, surrender and crawl
Bow down, even legions fall
What do I think I know ́bout war?
Spare a life hand over your own
Violence consists of certainty
That war is a path to victory
A chance to counterstrike
Cut them loose, run for your lives
An attack from behind, I ́m running out of time
Unstoppable frenzy, smash his face with high efficiency,
WAR! x4
I ́m still alive, but why won ́t he just die?
A shotgun shell, unload a barrelful to his head
I can still hear evil laughter in my ears
This is the end; swallow a barrel full of lead
What do I think I know ́bout war?
I ́ve seen it all and a thousand more
Not giving up, surrender and crawl
Bow down, even legions fall
What do you think you know ́bout war?
Spare a life hand over your own
Annihilation of your enemy
War is a path to victory

The Revenant (Redeemer)
05:45

All is lost, my doom
I am fading away
Line ́s crossed, voice heard
Your time isn ́t yet
Drift to black, wake up home, all is well
You must tell, where is him, what the hell
I must know now!
I was dead but now I ́m back
Resurrected from the dreamless void
It was a test and I prevailed
All revealed knowledge passed
The old withdraw so the young may rise
A new dominion without compromise
Covenant without god
The Revenant will arise
A trail gone cold, how will this unfold?
Left behind was a book of old
A letter inside, tells bindings my guide
Everything is passed
He fled earth as I proved my worth
Now I am the heir
I was dead but now I ́m back
Resurrected from the dreamless void
It was a test and I prevailed
All revealed knowledge passed
The old withdraw so the young may rise
New dominion, no compromise
A covenant without god
The Revenant will arise
The victory defeated me; I became marooned in this reality
I felt the paradigm shift, but now you carry the torch
Dark arts of sanguine rituals, these are yours, use them well
But beware not to lose yourself

I found myself wandering swamp as far as I can see
Legs heavy, cast to lead, should I trust my eyes blindly
In a distance mountains stories high time seems like a river passing by
But I ́ll stay for a while instead, a long long trip ahead
Do you understand?
Purple Mountain rises, reaches the skies to tell me lies
I ́m knees deep in peatland, the land is glass now
My reflection left me alone
And over the twilight illuminating the endless nights
Beacon lit with wildfire, together insanity dies
These grounds so unholy, sun so scorching
High winds blowing
Am I trapped in here forever, last flower as my only leper
Finding my way out stumbling
Penrose steps to a bottomless well
Forceful thunder cracks the sky
Air is flowing with electricity, pink acid rain falling
Implosion of the brain, path of the left hand
Green glowing barren wasteland
And over the twilight illuminating the endless nights
Beacon lit with wildfire, together insanity dies
Step by step to nowhere, never-ending nightmare
Finding my way out stumbling
Penrose steps to a bottomless well
Sanity shipwrecked on shoals of psychedelia
Beacon of madness shining in the distance
Guiding me to ethereal desolation of loneliness
And over the twilight it is time for me to fly
Finding my way out stumbling
Penrose steps to a bottomless well
So what if we are insane, we have walked through fields of pain
Finding our way out stumbling
At least we ́ve got a good story to tell
