Lyrics:
01. Faust
Walk in pathless ways till the dawn
Smell your fear, but nor for long
Sign your soul, what a petty price
For you to know what rolls the dice
Our Lord has heard your plea
He shall give you, what you seek
Mephisto, your helping hand
Forever yours, infernal servant
Sign this deal, with your hand
Seal this deed, with your blood
Now your soul belongs to us
Enjoy the prize, while it lasts
Whatever you seek, you now can have
Just beware, stay close at hand
Time's running, we will come
To settle the deal, sealed with your blood
You're a servant of your own desires
Till your soul feeds our fires
We now have you in our grasp
Little Faust, now feel our rasp
Sign this deal, with your hand
Seal this deed, with your blood
Now your soul belongs to us
Enjoy the prize, while it lasts

02. Oblivion
I can feel the pain and disgrace
It fills my shattered heart
You can't deny to see the face
That rips your soul, apart
Lethe is filling me
Who am I? What do I see?
Ghastly faces in my eyes
What am I supposed to be?
Oblivion surrounds me
Oblivion denies me
Oblivion, my pain
Oblivion, your gain
Memories I no longer have
Taken away from me
Friends and foe are now one
It's all that I can be

03. Brethren of the Senses
See through the mask I call a face
Admonish the fear of the human race
Withstand the pains of soldiers slain
Look into my crippled soul
Oblivious to the world outside
Afraid to look to the inside
I stand with the back to the crimson wall
I let my fears like serpents crawl
My pain a mirror to reality
My dreams an endless compromise
Your thoughts a brethren of the sense
A fate that will not suffice
Breathe in the coldness of me with bliss
Release your again with a final kiss
Afraid of the world that's yet to be
Fear what's left inside of me
My pain a mirror to reality
My dreams an endless compromise
Your thoughts a brethren of the sense
A fate that will not suffice

05. Allegiance to Flesh and Blood
The pathways of your life
Have erupted in a night
Death's breath has kissed your brow
Find out His meaning now
Soldiers from a desert land
Carve the way in your broken skull
Split your eyesight into two
You might see what you need to do
Travel to the sinful land
Search for this helping hand
Give in to your desires
So pledge allegiance to this flesh and blood
Lust is your weapon now
Bring in servants to you; bow
Feast on the flames from their eyes
Muster power from their lies
In your search for desire
You receive what you aspire
Love from a blossomed ghoul
Your intentions are so foul

06. Thousand Years of Oppression (Amon Amarth Cover)
He hung on the windswept world tree
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
By Gugnir, his spear
Swimming in pain he peered into the depths
And cried out in agony
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss
He gave himself unto himself
In a world of sheering pain
So that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained
You doubted him, and spread their lies
Across the world, with sword in hand
You raped our souls, and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man
You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your power trip was paid by blood
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
I refuse to submit
To the god you say is kind
I know what's right, and it is time
It's time to fight, and free our minds
Let me die without fear!
As I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
After a thousand years of oppression
Let the berserkers rise again
Let the world hear these words once more:
"Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen!"
Our spirits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or turn the other cheek
He grasped the runes, they're ours to use
