[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

A dawn on the run, nowhere to hide in a life of

Corruption, insanity has won, I'm living in hate

And preaching destruction

I'm screaming tonight, my vengeance

To fight has killed all morality

The cries of the toll and madness control

And liberate my energy - Axe to the wax !

Misguidin' your life, you'll reach

The empire of sadness

I will be rife, driven by insanity or hate

Misguidin' your life, you'll reach

The empire of sadness

I will be rife, driven by insanity

Lunacy and rage are raving in my head, reign

Back to back, c'mon be my slave, the beauty

In your face will be fading to black
