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      The venomous tongue   The inevitable poison   Paralyze the angels   Freeze the forgiven   Baptize in fire   Unleash the devil at heart      Unleash the maelstrom mephisto      [chorus:]   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      Pledged to judgmental arrogance in   Drawn principles of ignorant falsehood   To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself   A tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep      In the dimness surrounding the towers of the castle   Where the ravens spread their wings out wide   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      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
