Have you ever wondered just what it’d be like to kill someone you love? I can’t see a reason to make me believe that enough is enough. Now you think I’m crazy, you better believe that I’m coming for you You were the one who told me that I was the one Now all I know is that I just wanted to feel true love I just wanna feel your tender kiss When you look at me - Tell me what do you see in my eyes? Is it love? CHORUS And now you’re mine forevermore It’s goodnight darling! I close and lock the final door And throw away the key You crossed me for the last time And now my mind returns to madness I can never let you go Sayonara, say goodnight! The blood in my veins no it wasn’t designed to keep my heart alive I don’t think the spirits of Gaia believe that my soul can survive Now that you think you’re perfect, the sky opens up and it’s time to die Pain rushes through your body and poisons your mind Now all I know is that Love and lust were never meant for me All I feel is pain and misery When you look at me Is that smile upon your face for real? Is it love? CHORUS SOLOS CHORUS

Madness, the fear of knowing you’re alone The essence of serenity Fades quick in the mind of my ever imposing eye My eternity, it’s a miracle, miracle Ego Immortalum! CHORUS: I’ll never be alone I’m the Megalomaniac The one who holds the key to space and time, woah! Though I grow old, the years will never take me Ego Immortalum! Fight or die my friend, in the end it’s the same And to think that it was me who everyone said was insane This is not a test - I’m the very fucking best Ego Immortalum! Megalomaniacal - It’s a way of life for me I’ll never die insane, NO! CHORUS SOLOS CHORUS

CHORUS: I close my eyes, and fall asleep for one last time In a land beyond twilight I control the future of the world As I sit on my throne, Let my defiance be known! Frozen in a state of self denial Crying out for sympathy Thinking this could be the end of our humanity Our hopes and our dreams CHORUS My belief is that my own defiance Is the way to take control Charismatic and benign, my demons seem to be But I know what they mean And now I've fallen, through space and time Is this my conscience? Is this divine? CHORUS SOLOS So now the battle is over and done And I break free from my own mind In a land beyond twilight I, drove out the demons in my head Now I sit on my throne, let my defiance be known! CHORUS CHORUS: Open my eyes, and I'm awake for one last time In a land without twilight I set free the demons of this world As I sit on my throne, let my defiance be known.

Calling my name, throughout the sorrow and pain My demons torture me relentlessly Feel so powerless and nowhere to run My soul becomes undone I have always known, I would always die alone In the darkest hallows I lie waiting endlessly Face my final fate at the cemetery gates And the fear is real CHORUS: I don’t wanna be here when the monsters call my name Forever I’m awake, I pray the lord my soul to take I wanna go where the monsters cannot hurt me anymore Somewhere in my dreams beyond reality Shatter the mind, the most ethereal bind And carry onwards like it’s all a dream Fear no evil though it’s all around you Just let your heart stay true I can’t see a time where I’d ever cross your mind Yet the scythe will fall for my life in the end Choices made in vain, lost forever in the pain Make my mind insane CHORUS SOLOS Somewhere beyond the dead and the buried I see death and the raven staring back at me I will fight through the trials of life Fighting through the pain, always keeping them at bay Though the monster’s call my name CHORUS

The life that you live is a life full of tragedy I am the one who’ll set you free The only one who has the key To make the madness go away Feel as I drive this blade so far into your brain You feel the pain of life drain slowly from your eyes Head to the skies And see your last reflection drowning deep inside CHORUS: Now as you feel the pain of life Drain down my sharp silver knife You’re free from this world! One day I’ll join you in the afterlife This task is unto me to take life away from thee And set you free! Hey, why do you run? Isn’t this what you yearn for most? Slashed across the throat, blood is gushing from within Let your mind be free from sin I have seen the way you look at him Don’t you worry now I’ll kill you both so he won’t have to live this life all on his own To disembowel him would be my pleasure oh! CHORUS SOLOS All over the world there are people who need set free They call me murderer and beast I say that life is their disease But I won’t let this conquest fail My true crusade is never ending, never dies So when I cut your heart out I will pay the price This is my goal To rid the world of this dark infestatious hole! Now as you feel the pain of life Drain down my sharp silver knife You’re free from this world! One day I’ll join you in the afterlife This task that I must do to take life away from all of you So I will set you free! It’s my destiny! To destroy mankind!

I can see all around me is madness No more beauty to see The dead live free, far away So peacefully And, what is left for me? Death is nothing to fear It’s a game of cards That nobody wins So play your hand and Live life bravely Each and every day No one gets out alive So! We drink to the end The everlasting rest that we all so deserve No more pain to endure The only thing left is to end it all! CHORUS: Farewell the time has come to die For all in a winter’s night Death is the last great escape For all who think they’re free of fate And all the sacrifices made They all begin to fade Death is the last great escape From all the terrors we must face But I’m not afraid of death For I have been dead all along Love lost evermore The end of my song So death, take me into your arms for evermore As I open my eyes in the darkness Oh what beauty I see The fallen heroes of the past Here will ever last We eternally rest Life is nothing but pain It’s a game of chance that nobody wins So roll the dice and draw the final card Learn this lesson hard No one gets out alive So! We drink to the end The everlasting rest that we all so deserve No more pain to endure The only thing left is to end it all! CHORUS SOLOS Sweet Death, I’m glad I found your warm embrace Call the name of the man in the darkness Heed the call of the night And join me here in afterlife Free from all the strife Leave the pain all behind Leaves, they fall from the trees And the earth reclaims the souls from within So follow me and End life bravely, so unfaithfully No one can stop you now So! We drink to the end The everlasting rest that we all so deserve No more pain to endure The only thing left is to end it all! CHORUS The starry skies hold a place for you Ascend like you always yearned to Death is the last great escape From all pain And I can see a star so bright! Shining onwards forever! SOLOS

Running round in circles Trying to make sense of All the voices speaking to me deep inside my mind Creepy little voices Can't understand them Should I make it known to them that I'm one of a kind? They say I'm a genius Bound by a madness I say its a fallacy to try to understand Writing in the notebook What is my next move? Show them I'm a lunatic, completely fucking mad! Late that night I spun my fate With a plan so full of darkness and hate In a world so believing, I'm so deceiving Power, shall be mine once more! CHORUS: Under the veil of madness I can't see my soul anymore Lost in the darkness Far from home At the stroke of midnight You will see within my mind And I am hollow I am hollow Somewhere lost in a dream world  I'll find peace in the dark  On that day my blood will turn to stone and I'll be hollow For the last time! Never again to be alone Me and myself, soul to soul The veil of madness covers it all The evil in my wicked soul The darkness in the prison below Every single night they try to torment me Telling me that what I'm doing isn’t wrong at all Sabotage my endgame Not anymore sir! Get away with murder make it look like I’m insane Standing in the docks I try to remember Was it all a dream or did I really slit his throat? Swearing on the bible, I am not liable Cut my brain in two and you will see they’re not the same Late one night I did conspire To become what you most least desire I’m alone in the starlight Shadowed by the moonlight Hollow Now I rise once more! CHORUS The Courtroom: You have been brought before this court Charged with murder so grave Ten thousand and seventy-five counts How do you plead? Guilty. Guilty!! GUILTY!!! - I am not guilty of mercifully ending their lives. This court finds you guilty of murder so vile and callous and devoid of all remorse Death is the only recourse. To pay penance for all of your sins. With a rope 'round your neck you will swing. And an endless peace we shall bring Death. Death is merely a blessing. Not yet meant for me I am never going to come quietly. Not at all good sir. But before I go - I will reveal to you all why my grand master plan for greatness simply cannot fail. The Act: I am a death anthropologist A maniac and exhibitionist And maybe if you believe in all of this Then maybe you’ll just look the other way… You are the judges of my demise A truly despisable sea of eyes But maybe if you believe in all the lies Then maybe you’ll just look the other way I am a murder philanthropist A death and destruction economist And maybe if you believe in all of this Then maybe you’ll just look the other way… HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA BRIDGE 3 This whole tale will soon unfold With an excerpt from the Pages of Gold I’ll stay here in the starlight Darkness my delight Hollow. Now I run from death! CHORUS Under the veil of madness I can't find my soul anymore I am lost in the darkness So far from home I cry in the night from sorrow I am hollow I can't live with all this pain I feel inside anymore So once more my blood will turn to stone and I'll be hollow I'll be hollow I am hollow For the last time!

INSTRUMENTAL

Composition of an evil coda Playing games with my mind Every night I hear the melody singing Come unto me, my dark and divine Cursed music of a dark composer Bound in pages of gold Taking over me Making me believe Madness is all I know Story of old Soon to be retold Give me a sign A message divine I am whole! CHORUS: Pages of gold A life cast in shadows of bold The ink is dry but still i'm wondering why I just cant let go Voices in my mind A veil across my eyes And now everyday I let this requiem control my mind! Cry a river of my blood eternal Last abode of my soul Can a man become a godly composer, scribing the notes from pages of gold? The reflection of my eyes I see But hollow now is my gaze Can I carry on, write another song? Now is the end of days Pages of gold Mind shattered and cold Memories fade, and now im betrayed Heart and soul! CHORUS Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementia fuit, ingenium Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementia fuit, dementia SOLOS Pages of gold Mind shattered and cold Memories fade And now im betrayed Heart and soul! CHORUS
