Lost in Time 05:37
It’s centuries old, always retold The tale, it is endless, infinite searching For in this world, for what it is worth, We all have to find a place to call home It’s centuries old always retold The tale, it is endless, infinite searching For in this world, for what it is worth, We all have to find a place to call home I’m completing the cycle Locked up in time It goes on in circles An endless crime I know there is someone to blame Blood is on my hands I’m clawing at the grave In endless rage Sanity’s slipping fast How long does the snake keep biting its tail? I am stuck in the nightmare Still my old dream carries on One step away from Paradise If you know how to let go Hope never dies One step away to leave the lies As it all came back to me I’m my own worst enemy Telling tales to the water The best way to tell Put a letter in glass, An ear to a shell Hear as the darkness unfolds In your heart lies the truth Drowning in the sea Lost in the waves Through the storms washed ashore Carry me home on the cold wind’s melody I am stuck in the nightmare Still my old dream carries on One step away from Paradise If you know how to let go Hope never dies One step away to leave the lies As it all came back to me I’m my own worst enemy It’s centuries old, broken and cold The tomb of our future, lost in time Glimpses of memories fade in the night Left below as we hasten our climb Make your mark and stand For if you lose it all, you are what you had Reaching the peak, all paths lead down from the prize How can we say when it dies? One step away from Paradise If you know how to let go Hope never dies One step away to leave the lies They are my specialty I’m my own worst enemy I’m one step from Paradise All it needs is letting go!

It is said that some lives Are connected through time Watching nightfall over the hourglass As it takes her into Hell Just realized Your love is a lie Blinding the eyes Leading to my demise You deserve to go down with me Invoke the sorrow in me I was bound to your calling And dwelled where darkness was growing strong in your heart You made me feel the stabs of a thousand swords I needed a home, you just closed the door You gave me dreams to live and die for Then broke them all before my eyes This is farewell I’m not looking back In front of me Spectres of madness be I am haunted forevermore I was bound to your calling I died where darkness was growing strong in your heart You made me feel the stabs of a thousand swords I needed a home, you just closed the door You gave me dreams to live and die for Then broke them all before my eyes Realise you must take this into own hands You decide the outcome of this raging torment Nevermore rely on the power to create in your mind Conceive, break free, break away, find yourself Realise you must take this into own hands You decide the outcome of this raging torment Nevermore rely on the power to create in your mind Conceive, break free, break away from this place and leave Fight your curse Find yourself and leave Fight your curse Find yourself and leave You made me feel the stabs of a thousand swords I needed a home, you just closed the door You gave me dreams to live and die for then broke them all before my eyes Bleed From a thousand wounds Oh you just closed the door Right in front of me Broken dreams Were to live and die for Oh you just closed the door Right in front of me Broken dreams

See him crawling in the darkness What will make him whole? Never complete, always broken, Trying to take control And it came to pass That the dark symphony was written In the years of contemplation He who conducts has power over all who listen Diabolus in musica rings From hell with hate it sings When the demon composer conducts With his deed he destructs Bringing forth the evil of folklore The sting of death is in its core As the prophecy foretells As is chanted in ancient spells The apocalypse is near Bringing despair and fear Bringing forth the evil of folklore The sting of death is in its core Demons are crawling from hellfire’s pit The angels hear and can’t resist It’s calling, they’re falling Transcendent melodies sounding above are breaking the seventh seal The evil conductor’s masterpiece sounds like Being possessed by the occult score You’ll be yearning to hear more And find a certain death Soon you’ll breathe your last breath Bringing forth the evil of folklore The sting of death is in its core Demons are crawling from hellfire’s pit The angels hear and can’t resist It’s calling, they’re falling Transcendent melodies sounding above are breaking the seventh seal The evil conductor’s masterpiece, his revenge Lament all the fallen Lament the lost ones Salute the union of lost souls He is lurking in the shadows In his heart a hole Without mercy, without remorse Preying on your soul Demons are crawling from hellfire’s pit The angels hear and can’t resist It’s calling, they’re falling Transcendent melodies sounding above are breaking the seventh seal The evil conductor’s masterpiece is complete!

Give into me To your desires What is this voice I hear? You are chosen Together we are strong This can’t be right so prove me wrong Now hold and consume me My energy’s slipping away Your blood is the key to Gaia The era of chaos has come All the wise men can’t reach me now Cause I am the chosen vessel Enslaved Forever! Unchain the essence Of your shadow self You hypnotize me paralyse me Feed on your hate, destroy, suffocate I’m your claws, under your command Oh don’t let me do this The void is taking me in Your blood is the key to darkness The era of chaos has come All the brave men can’t save me now Cause I am the chosen vessel Stronger than ever! I’m fueled by your weakness My vessel to destroy As above, so below You will drive the human race to extinction Even angels can’t save me now Cause I am the chosen vessel Born into chaos Even hellfire can’t cure me now The death legion took me in I am the chosen vessel

I toss and turn the whole night, I seem to lose this fight I’m breaking down terrified, my eyes stare open wide Ears start to ring, adrenaline kicks in I have to get this off my chest and release this energy Leave me be I’m running wild and free Feel the power of the moonlight I’m running through the woods wild To rays of light from the falling stars Feel it surging in the twilight Unleashing every wild child See it in the dark It’s shining through my heart Bones twist and turn ‘til I break, it’s a force I can’t control This will go wrong, there’s no doubt, you hear me cry into the night I lust for blood, you’d better run, you would ‘Cause hunger’s tearing me apart, I’m not myself and you should Leave me be I’m running wild and free Feel the power of the moonlight I’m running through the woods, wild To rays of light from the falling stars Feel it surging in the twilight Unleashing every wild child See it in the dark It’s shining through my heart Feel the power of the moonlight I’m running through the woods, wild To rays of light from the falling stars Feel it surging in the twilight Unleashing every wild child See it in the dark It’s shining through my heart Feel the power of the moonlight I’m running through the woods, wild To rays of light from the falling stars Feel it surging in the twilight Unleashing every wild child See it in the dark It’s shining through my heart

Echoes 03:51
Let me enter where the world is silent All thoughts unspoken until I know who I am I stare at pieces of a broken mirror And wonder which reflects my destiny Oh silence let me be Echoes of the past are blaming me Can silence ease my pain I see all Hear all My cries are fading until they’re just whispers My tears a river running everlastingly No absolution for this godless moonchild Darkness has taken my cursed heart Oh silence let me be Echoes of the past are blaming me Can silence ease my pain I see all Hear all Take me to a sacred place Where I stop to feel at all Come take me to Neverland Where angel wings can stop my fall Oh, let me break free, to serenity Now life’s forsaken me Oh silence let me be Echoes of the past won’t set me free Can silence ease my pain I see all Hear all

Voracious warriors sail across the waters Only to discover there is no end to the seas Fear strikes in the hearts of brave man For they will die alone far away from home No solace is found in this cradle of death See the heavens turn without light that shows where to go Hell-bound, Paradise’s rejects Broken and defeated before the gods they stand Begging for the gods to hear them For a chance to live and die a warrior No solace is found in this cradle of death See the heavens turn without light that shows where to go The bright light is burning their eyes The dry sun’s exhausting but their will’s prevailing All their dreams have sunken deep They’re living on inside the ocean’s abyss At the end of the horizon You can see them sailing Close to the edge of the world Facing the storms that they encounter on the way To the Gates of Faith, leaving all they know No solace is found in this cradle of death See the heavens turn without light that shows where to go

Atlantis 05:17
Find it under water 10000 fathoms deep Between ruins and the waves asleep Frozen in time, buried alive In the shadows down below Your sins turned on thee By dark runes to rule sea and earth For science you turned to the laws of the underworld I’d go back in time to free Atlantis I wish you were mine to see You are holding the power to create and destroy World of wonders Unwinding space and time Yeah you had your chance Took it and played your hand Gave it all you got and more, it didn’t last You were bound to lose by your reckless pride And riches that you took Your sins turned on thee By dark runes to rule sea and earth For science you turned to the laws of the underworld I’d go back in time to free Atlantis I wish you were mine to see You are holding the power to create and destroy World of wonders Unwinding space and time Your sins turned on thee By dark runes to rule sea and earth For science you turned to the laws of the underworld I’d go back in time to see Atlantis Your secret is safe with me You’re holding the power to create and destroy You’re a world of wonders Men will go and drown themselves for thee Cause it is evil that you keep Planets could vanish in the blink of an eye Changing the course of time Oh it could mean the end Unwinding space and time

Cursed 06:37
You feel the dark spell slowly sinking through your bones Shadows are lurking in every corner of your home Coming alive, they're slowly tearing you apart You have to look inside your heart The gods have forsaken you mortal The skies are turning grey, and you are cursed for the rest of eternity You will pay! See the dead are dancing, coming out of their graves Feel the pain of the people that you have enslaved Hear the screams of tortured souls, the sound of truth You know it's all because of you! The gods have forsaken you mortal The skies are turning grey, and you are cursed for the rest of eternity You will pay! Now the earth is splitting open at your feet Hear the clock strike for your heart beat And thus the great curse awakens from below Sure as the ancient winds will cry through the glades and fray the mountain peaks while whispering warnings of peril to come The shadows will rise to claim your fallen soul You are doomed You will die! And now the end is coming The dead are rising out of their graves and After years of torment now you’ll pay Feel the wrath of the gods Their might will strike you down And end your life forever Life is flashing by You see all the things you loved But now, oh now they've gone away You had no one to fight You had nothing to fear But now, now your time is up The golden thunder coming from the sky Will strike you down and throw you in the fire You had it all, but now you'll fall To your own grave (and this will be your final day) The clock is ticking away You know your curse won't go away You are cursed!

Many thanks go to Erik van Ittersum for his excellent work arranging the album's orchestrations, as well as composing the intro. For his mastery of the mix, technical work, and role as co-producer, we thank Daan Janzing of In The Room Studios.

Ex-members Roman Potasse (main-composer of "Fight Now") and Yordi Florax (bass recordings and main-composer of "Lost in Time", "Evil Conductor", "The Chosel Vessel", and "Cradle of Death") are of course deserving of our gratitude and respect. Guest vocalists Jan Willem Ketelaers, José Galardo and Peter Moltmaker from the Epic Rock Choir gave fantastic performances for a few of the more "massive" choirs. We also thank Michael Streat for lending his voice, not only for choir lines but also the spoken passage in "Cursed" and for Leon Caufijn for lending his voice in pre-production fase.

We thank Antonio Jimenez for his excellent album artwork: Cover art, "Atlantis" art and booklet creation. On a similar front, Kelly Thans has been fantastic behind the camera, and her photos speak for themselves!

Our eternal gratitude goes to Leo and Bertie Sevat for their fantastic support, cooking, and hospitality. We may never be able to repay your kindness, but we will do our best!

Joey, Peter and Pedro from JBM Events have been invaluable in their work promoting, managing and advertising.
