Verse 1/2:
First Phase ash rains
seven meters high
Lungs turn to cement
suffocate and die

Second phase pyroclastic
lapilli, volcanic bombs
those who didn't suffocate
now smashed by giant rocks

Chorus:
Thera Santorin
Godess from the Deep
My Infernal Queen
Unleashed to devour
the entire Aegean Sea

Bridge 1:
While ash and rock are spewing
a massive wave comes rolling out
entire civilization
within moments torn down

No mortal man
can stand against her forces
she crushes them like ants
and floods away their corpses

(Chorus over Interludum)

Verse 3/4:
Third phase, full blaze
Lava flows in giant rivers
with the caverns emptied out
whole island breaks together

Fourth phase, ten plagues
Ashen clouds the sky grows dark
Within the old testament
Mighty Thera left her mark

Chorus:
Thera Santorin
Godess from the Deep
My Infernal Queen
Unleashed to devour
the entire Aegean Sea

Bridge 2:
Red tide grown from the ashes
killing fish and frogs alike
out of their bloated bodies
swarms of insects will arise

Bringing disease
to cattle and to man
as rotting, poisoned wheat
becomes their firstborns' end

(Chorus over Interludum)

(Chorus over final verse)

Verse 1:
Viral Thougts poison
the inner well
a husk of man revolving
around just himself

a substance kills the nerves
and with their dying spark
they sprinkle bits of tortured soul
across his medulla

Solo

Breakdown:
A shade appears in blackened veil
out of the void with evil grin
it whispers onto him and speaks
into his mind intention creeps

As visions press, his thoughts derail
impelled to pay for repressed sin
his outward screams drowned out by fear
that carves away at what's within

Bridge:
Taken alive
by his own mind
Self-injured
from the inside

Fully aware
without control
slipping off the walls
of an infinite hole

Chorus (2x):
Ordered to take revenge
by forces of delirium
figments of mind project
into full realisation

Verse 2:
Sane thoughts drowned in
the inner well
a civil war is raging
inside this human shell

the substance twists his gaze
all lights are blotted out
ashamed of what's become of him
he spirals down and down

Breakdown:
Demons rage inside his head
nowhere to run nowhere to hide
the terror forms a silent scream
no comfort reaches the inside

Encapsulated and deranged
the only wish for this to end
a gun is shoved inside his mouth
as tears are streaming down his hand

Bridge:
Forced into taking
his own life
Bits of brain
propelled outside

Gone forever
gone his soul
leaving just a corpse
with a gaping bloody hole

Chorus (2x)

Verse 1:
Power hungry old men caring
Not for life only themselves
dropping bombs on their own people
foreign powers come to help

Building systems of opression
no path upwards one may seek
spreading terror and depression
For their spoils they want to keep

Bridge:
Proscribed names
list of death
drones swarm out
kill our best

Only might
Gives them right
Comes the night
Time to die

Chorus (2x):
See our lifes go down in flames
We fall victim to their hunger
trying to erase our names
crushing us in blood and thunder

Just a slave
Deprivation
Use outlived
Termination

Our Youth
Indoctrination
Kill their own
Devastation

We refuse
our damnation
shackles torn
in frustration

For the fate
of our nation
We rise up
Liberation!

Verse 2:
Warlords send their Death Squads marching
out to hunt for reason's voice
everyone who won't obey them
gets drowned out by weapons' noise

They control all information
iron-fisted rule of fear
calculated devastation
till none dares to shed a tear

Bridge

Chorus

Solo

Bridge

Chorus

Time is of the essence
As time is all we have
Dripping on in seconds
a snapshot of eternity

An everlasting moment
Present in the presence
A bird comes sharpening its beak
until a mountain shatters

A time to laugh
A time to cry

A time to live
A time to die

(Instrumental)

A time to live
A time to die

Spring arrives
and melts the ice
making way
for ships to sail

Axe and sword
we take aboard
rowing west
towards sun's crest

Summer of blood
spilling guts
taking gold
burning homes

Marching on
Slaying sons
taking slaves
ash marks our way

bounty hauled back to the ships
their deaths have brought us honor
and as our raid comes to its end
also will end the summer

Chorus:
Now winter's time will bring its ice
and to the warm heaths we return
making sweet love to our wives
and healing our cuts and burns

The stars in this eternal night
telling of warriors once to be
as longingly we await the day
till we can go back out to sea

Spring is back
bound to attack
we make our way
down to the bay

Spear and shield
in hand we yield
west we heed
a mighty fleet

Summer of death
of hope bereft
mothers cry
as fathers die

axe wounds gape
the girls we rape
once peaceful place
now laid to waste

survivors dragged back to the ships
we'll sell them for a fortune
and as we leave this wretched land
lost souls cry out in torture

Chorus

Spring again
as foreign men
come upon us
in force they trust

T'wards their demands
our shieldwall stands
as we defend
our fathers' land

Summer of pain
as we are slain
with greater might
they break our line

The tides have turned
now our home burns
before we'd known
reep what we've sown

In chains they drag us to their ships
our deaths have brought them honour
and as our freedom fades away
so fades the light of summer

Now Winter's darkness comes upon us
Our best men died a violent death
While they now sit at Odin's side
a dark fate waits for those they left

As seasons changed so changed our luck
these foreign stars of tales devoid
Despair and doom spelled out for us
With all our hopes and dreams destroyed

Verse 1:
One old voyager zoomin' about
After all these decades he's still around
Carrying a gold plate close to his chest
Telling old tales from back where he left

53 voices saying hello
A diagram tells aliens where to go
14 pulsars out in the dark
connecting the dots will show the mark

Bridge:
Fallen in upon itself
Compressed matter
A giant nucleus
within a tiny star
Rotating ten thousand times a second
If one was our neighbour
we'd all be ripped apart

Chorus:
They're iron spheres surrounding
Nuclear Pasta
Heated leftovers
from a cosmic desaster
Imploded stars
now spin a million times faster
Neutron dough inside stretched out to
Nuclear Pasta

Verse 2:
The strongest of magnetic fields
blasting out polar radio beams
sweeping across earth pulsating
metronomes in space
they're lighthouses marking the way
out to infinity
once thougt little green men
but now they're serving
nuclear pasta

Bridge:
on a golden plate
with our home recipe
shared by an old voyager
the second of his name
Fourteen flavours of frequent spice
and at the center a tiny blue surprise
impossible to find
fourteen in a hundred million

Chorus

Verse 3:
Nuclear Pasta
stringy mash of neutrons
utmost
abominations of density

pull in your arms
to turn faster
pull in your arms
to turn faster
a million times over
a million times over
Go, Go, Go!

Bridge:
Magnetar
Starquake
spitting out
radiation
in a short but violent tantrum
slowly calming down
until respurred by accretion
taking all that matter
and sucking it all down

Chorus

Breakdown / Outro

Verse 1:
Autocratic, megalomanic
Vanity defiles
Power struggle, escalation
Beyond imagination

30 miles north-west
Urban center ripped to shreds
Millions gone within a blink
First endangered, now extinct

Chorus:
Second Sunrise
Death rays inbound
No escape from
The Mushroom Cloud

Bridge:
Heat wave vaporizing
Gamma rays ionizing
And all is gone
Biosphere evaporated
Top-soil irradiated
For years to come

Chorus:
Second Sunrise
Death rays inbound
No escape from
The Mushroom Cloud

Bridge
Solo

Verse 2:
The final sin has been committed
All that was has gone to shit
All is lost, there were no winners
Just a gaping, smouldering pit

30 miles north-west
Urban center ripped to shreds
Millions gone within a blink
First endangered, now extinct

Chorus:
Second Sunrise
Death rays inbound
No escape from
The Mushroom Cloud
