1.	Suburban Nightmare 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Dark streets of a suburban nightmare Barred windows and buildings defiled Everything I see here is so far from The neighborhood I knew as a child Can’t believe how things have changed Can’t believe how things turned out But now I can’t even believe how they used to be Our society changed over night To this totalitarian regime It is hard to remember the past But it must’ve been different, it seems Can’t believe how things have changed Can’t believe how things turned out But now I can’t even believe how they used to be I know, I have seen all this before In the pages of “1984” Now I dread what tomorrow may have in store Our world, turned so very cold And wherever you go; you’re in their hold We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls And wherever you go; you’re in their hold We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls They keep watching every move you make They remember all the numbers you’ve dialed Every word you write or photo you take Is systematically catalogued and filed And wherever you go; you’re in their hold We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls And wherever you go; you’re in their hold We were sold a dream and fed the machine our souls
2.	The Other Ones 04:51	lyrics	buy track
I awoke to the sound - Of my front door breaking down Someone entered my house with brutal force Seven figures in a row - There was no way I could go Two advanced on me, the others blocked the doors The vanguard of the new regime For them no measure’s too extreme Hold us down as slaves to the state They make the laws to rule our fate But the one so small - She is no match at all A fatal blow to her head will set me free I hear the Others shout - But I’m already out It seems that no one’s following me The Other Ones - forgotten sons Cogs in the machinery The Other Ones - long lost souls Perpetuate the tyranny Why won’t they leave me be Perpetuate the tyranny Why won’t they leave me be The Other Ones - long lost souls They can not allow - That I’m different somehow I refuse to follow rules and be confined The Other Ones move like shadows Faceless figures passing by They never seem to understand that Their life is just a lie They can not allow - That I’m different somehow I refuse to follow their rules and be confined I know that there’s more - I’ll return what was before And be the catalyst for the future of mankind I know that there’s more - I’ll return what was before And be the catalyst for the future of mankind
3.	The Calling 04:00	lyrics	buy track
I heard a calling From somewhere in the dark An ancient yearning Awakened in my heart Seek the answer Bring back what used to be This path to greatness Will be my destiny The Calling of the Ancient Ones I heed it and Their will be done I am the vessel, I’ll be Their tool To bring the new age under celestial rule My steps directed As I journey to the east Forsaken landscapes All rotten and deceased I smell an odour An outer-worldly reek Gazing up the hill I see the place I seek “This is no Sentinel Hill, but it will do” “This is no Sentinel Hill, but it will do” The Calling of the Ancient Ones I heed it and Their will be done I am the vessel, I’ll be Their tool To bring the new age under celestial rule I heard a calling From somewhere in the dark An ancient yearning Awakened in my heart Seek the answer Bring back what used to be This path to greatness Will be my destiny My steps directed As I journey to the east Forsaken landscapes All rotten and deceased
4.	Yog-Sothoth (The Key and the Gateway) 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Atop the hill, there’s the place I will construct the Circle of stones A table-like structure, the altar Rises from the tumulus of bones He knows where THE OLD ONES Broke through before He knows the place where they’ll Break through once more He is the Key and the Gateway To blasphemous spheres He is the Key and the Gateway Beyond mortal fears In my mind’s eye, he shows me Frightful vistas of the void beyond As I behold him, a mass of glowing orbs I feel the power of our timeless bond He has shown me, to set the stones Yet he tells that there is something more The incantation, the formula Is written down in ancient godless lore Ancient evil To be reborn Cleanse the world in a cataclysmic storm The Necronomicon That dreaded tome I still have it hidden In the attic at home
5.	94 Bloch Lane 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Returning home under the shelter of night I'm guided only by the lonely moon's light Then plunge into the house to find what I need Right up the stairs, to the attic I speed Back home Back home Back home Back home Back home at 94 94 Bloch Lane Back home at 94 Back home again Back home at 94 Back home at 94 Back home at 94 Back home at 94 Suddenly I hear an angry voice shout out It seems the Other Ones kept a watch about They're coming closer and I go to act fast Where is the shotgun I kept hidden in the past? Back home Back home Back home Back home Back home at 94 94 Bloch Lane Back home at 94 Back home again A flash of lightning explodes before my eyes I fall down helplessly paralyzed Footsteps get nearer as I lie there on my back They say "we got him", then all turns to black
6.	Trapped! 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Placed under restraint I find myself, strapped into a chair A bright light illuminates The space around me, but not everywhere Someone starts talking And now I see, his face as he gloats Looks like a doctor or a butcher, dressed in his white coat Trapped! I'm Trapped! Paralyzed - immobilized Trapped! I'm Trapped! Isolated – and medicated He's showing me pictures of vague familiarity Somehow the Other Ones Are always standing next to me He speaks of my family Morosely he says my sister's name Then tells me what happened to her But that I'm really not the one to blame They want to turn me into one of them A mindless zombie like the Other Ones I must resist the brainwash they put me through I cannot let my life and spirit be undone I won't give in! They'll never win! And Then he tells me that He finds me, uncooperative What he wants from me Well, it’s something, I just cannot give I see the syringe Flash in the light Then it pierces my skin My limbs get heavy Eyes grow dim, as the dream world takes me in Trapped! I'm Trapped! Paralyzed - immobilized Trapped! I'm Trapped! Isolated – and medicated
7.	A Journey through Dark Vistas 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Then at once I'm floating through space Is this an aberration or my fate Suspended here in a timeless void I dissolve into a higher state Waves of insufferable cold Emanate from the Dead Sun above A magnitude of formless horrors Create a world yet undreamed of I'm moving on through these iridescent visions There is no time, there is no distance I'm moving on through these iridescent visions On this journey through Dark Vistas Images of our future earth What will succeed us and what was before Mass extinction and grand rebirth Link together in the forevermore A never-ending spiral way Encompassing all the worlds Eons to seconds to eons Folded in and then unfurled A never-ending spiral way Encompassing all the worlds Eons to seconds to eons Folded in and then unfurled I'm moving on through these iridescent visions There is no time, there is no distance I'm moving on through these iridescent visions On this journey through Dark Vistas Unspeakable terrors join together before my eyes Reaching the climatic storm, they explode then multiply Then the abyss turns into a room I see myself on a bed in here With Yog-Sothoth standing before me Suddenly the walls disappear As swiftly as they came to me The nightly visions fade away Drifting on into a lighter sleep I sense the morning of another day
8.	Escape 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I awake in a cell of some kind But now I know what I must do Yog-Sothoth has weakened the walls One small push and then I’m through Escape! I got to get away I’ll never be what they want me to be Escape! To live another day I know there’s greatness waiting for me Bursting out into broad daylight Don’t know how many days have passed Lost and I don’t know where I’m going But I’m going there fast Escape! I’m running away I’ll never be what they want me to be Escape! To fight another day Fighting this faceless society Escape! I’m still on my way Lonely are the streets I have roamed Escape! To die another day Now at last I found my way back home Escape! Escape!
9.	From the Blackest Void 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Picking up the Necronomicon I feel its power in my hands Stealthily I leave the house at once And head for those abandoned lands That wretched stench is worse than before Still somehow, it fills me with pride The stones remain untouched by human hands To center of the circle I stride Light the pyre, and let the fires burn Through Yog-Sothoth, THE OLD ONES shall return Summoned through the eons From the Blackest Void With their grand return The false world is destroyed Flames reach higher, but man will never learn Through Yog-Sothoth, THE OLD ONES shall return From the Blackest Void From the Blackest Void Spells unspoken for countless centuries Contained within these dreaded pages He is the Key, the Opener of the Way Our future's draped in the dust of ages Outro chant: "Per Adonai Eloim, Adonai Jehova, Adonai Sabaoth, Metraton On Agla Mathon, verbum pythonicum, mysterium salamandrae, conventus sylvorum, antra gnomorum, daemonia Coeli God, Almonsin, Gibor, Jehosua, Evam, Zariatnatmik, veni, veni, veni."
10.	Eve of Triumph 04:34	lyrics	buy track
Massive rumbling The mountain heaves Synchronized with the bursts of flame This spectacle Can't be believed Except through the eyes of the insane Break the sanity of the weak Make way for the Elder Race Returning from their dreamless sleep Their reign will end all days Pillars of flame rise to the skies The gateway is open, the coming is nigh Rejoice! We’ll usher in a new age On this Eve of our Triumph Through the gateway I see timeless scenes Spectral dimensions intertwined Hellish creatures Unearthly screams Rent the fabric of space and time Annihilate and cleanse the Earth Cleanse it of our enemies Enthrone the gods of a distant world The star born dynasty The gateway is open This is the Eve of our Triumph! The gateway is open This is the Eve of our Triumph! On the Eve of our Triumph Suddenly the Other Ones appear Forcefully they arrest me What is happening here?! I beseech Yog-Sothoth He looks at me with disdain Then returns to the portal As the Other Ones drag me away
11.	Another Ending 02:08	lyrics	buy track
Waking up from a dreary slumber I find myself in my own bed Trying hard to comprehend it all I slowly raise my heavy head All around the Other Ones have gathered They have come to see me undone With open arms and smiling faces, they welcome me home I guess this means that they finally won…
