Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside
Cast down all memories from a past and future world
The cynic icons
And the cryptic writings
As a picturesque creation in force and spirit
Against their reason and will, it is time
Give darkness it's passion plea
[Verse 2]
The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison
Paralyze the angels
Freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire
Unleash the devil at heart
[Verse 3]
Unleash the maelstrom mephisto
[Verse 4]
So sinner, mourn well
Make all the swans suffer in hell
The maelstrom of
The mephisto left the trace
To revel and feast in undelivered grace
[Verse 5]
Pledged to judgmental arrogance in
The principles of ignorant falsehood
To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself
A tyrant in torment
An inner-sanctum stealing sleep
[Verse 6]
So sinner, mourn well
Make all the swans suffer in hell
[Verse 7]
In the dimness surrounding the tower of the castle
Where the ravens spread their wings out wide
[Verse 8]
Dwell in depths of the darker self
At any shore of infinity
And watch the relentless paint the soil black
What is being formed, echoes throughout eternity
As the painter chooses color no more
[Verse 9]
Hold your shadows close when the comedy is over
As the days of mourning seem to be the days of joy
Fragments fell from the sky in order to penetrate the eyes
A convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies
Lies
[Verse 10]
The venomous tongue, the inevitable poison
Paralyze the angels
Freeze the forgiven, baptize in fire
Unleash the devil at heart
[Verse 11]
Unleash the maelstrom mephisto
[Verse 12]
So sinner, mourn well
Make all the swans suffer in hell
The maelstrom of
The mephisto left the trace
To revel and feast in undelivered grace
