Here we go again, another trip
Find another way to lose your grip
New and exciting ways to suffer more
What are you waiting for
Here on this journey to the depths
You'll find hell
Hold on to your soul
Don't lose your head
And see what you are made of
Face the demon's might
With no regret
Dethrone the king, and seize the night
All the deaths you died, what's it all for
Is it just for pride or something more
Purpose in your life, a hopeful gleam
Or just a hazy dream
Here on this journey to the depths
You'll find hell
Hold on to your soul
Don't lose your head
And see what you are made of
Face the demon's might
With no regret
Dethrone the king, and seize the night
Find your footing again
And clean off your sword
Accept your return as your reward
A sigh of relief
A knowing grin
And then you go back in
Hold on to your soul
Don't lose your head
And see what you are made of
Face the demon's might
With no regret
Dethrone the king, and seize the night

I had a dream that day
Oh I felt my heart rip itself in two
And the halves fell all the way
to a dimension demented through and through
I hear that canine roar
And I see that evil crimson glow
and the hounds of hell are at my door
and I don't know where to go
Blinded by the lights
The damage is done
Can't see till everything is gone
Feels the days are flying by
Every day seems darker than the last
All the promises were all just lie
and I can't run from my past
Standing oh so tall
And hadn't a clue
Of what this spell would do
Blinded by the lights
The damage is done
Can't see till everything is gone
My world is turning black
The dead are calling ever louder
I need to bring it back
The dark is getting loud
And time is running out
In the graveyard's frozen ground
Digging for my life I hear that sound
Try to hide to no avail
The classic breath and heart betrayal
Standing oh so tall
And hadn't a clue
Of what this spell would do
Blinded by the lights
The damage is done
Can't see till everything is gone

Through hell's abyss and violent storms
Dimensions shift and mountains form
I think you know you fought to hard to waste it all and
Stand before the gate in awe, waiting to see
What will convince you and who's gonna and hand you the key
Standing alone
Fist of rage around your blade
Hear the demons screaming
for you and pounding at the gate
Those blessed flames climb into the sky
A ghoul lets out a distant cry
You walk the path so sure you know that you're not here to
Stand before the gate in awe, waiting to see
What will convince you and who's gonna and hand you the key
Standing alone
Fist of rage around your blade
Hear the demons screaming
for you and pounding at the gate
What forms of death await you inside
What evil face will pierce the night
The end so close and oh you didn't come this far to
Stand before the gate in awe, waiting to see
What will convince you and who's gonna and hand you the key
Standing alone
Fist of rage around your blade
Hear the demons screaming
for you and pounding at the gate

Remember what you said
You claimed you'd never be the one
But where are we now
Where were we led
Whose hand's the dagger in
Who leads this ritual of death
Where did the fall begin
In a valley so low
In this life torn apart
You will know
Your shadowheart
No use for all your doubt
You're locked in this sequence of events
Now just to see it through
The only way out
You could've fought this fate
If you had recognized the signs
But now it's all too late
In a valley so low
In this world torn apart
You will find familiar
Build a tomb in your mind
You'll be back at the start
When you find
Your shadowheart

The black gate's closing soon
Everything's in its place
The carving of the stones begins
Count the days
Tonight Lupus howls
Fate finds its way
Death day is creeping closer
We never learn
The game is starting over
And you await your turn
They roll your dice again
Black stone your home and bed
Pray to whatever god you like
Live life led
Tonight Lupus howls
Fate finds its way
Death day is creeping closer
We never learn
The game is starting over
And you await your turn
Death day is creeping closer
We never learn
The game is starting over
And you await your turn
Death day is creeping closer
We never learn
The game is starting over
And you await your turn
Death day is creeping closer
We never learn
The game will last forever
And everything will burn

Doesn't it seem strange
Like something's gone wrong
The light that you knew
Once so bright and so strong
Similar but off
Cold in the sky
But no one knows why
The blood moon dim and cold
It rises high
Burn your life for warmth and light
Nights so cold and long
Play tricks on your mind
You try just as hard
but you're so far behind
Everything we do
But nowhere to go
The sky will follow
The blood moon dim and cold
It rises high
Burn your life for warmth and light
How quick the sun can fall
D'you wanna know
All you do is just let go
[MATTHEW]
I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day
And men forgot their passions in the dread
You lay yourself upon the altar again
Who drives the knife in like you can
Your agony is all your own
Let it go
Even though you know
We've been here before
The weight of the ending won't change anymore
You will fall again
Despite what you know
The sun will rise so slow
The blood moon dim and cold
It rises high
Burn your life for warmth and light
How quick the sun can fall
D'you wanna know
All you do is just let go

The evil terrorize the land
With graveyards filling up fast
Their empire grows
They know it will last
The message has been sent
An eye for an eye
The chaos doesn't end
And everyone will die
And kill by kill they construct
Their armour of deception
To play in this game
of perception
The message has been sent
An eye for an eye
The chaos doesn't end
And everyone will die
Another victim bled
Another martyr on his cross
But whatever they may do
We know the dead
Live forever
The message we will been send
An eye for an eye
This chaos will not last forever
And all of them will die

I'll run for all my life
I don't care where I'm going
No one's opinion determines my destiny
Still sharper than a knife
Despite the pressure growing
These ancient boundaries they can't mean less to me yeah
No need to end it now, just leave him alone
No venom deadlier than his own
I'll do it all alone
I'll show them what I'm made of
I'll show them everything they've never known
Another soul will lose, a matter of time
A holy mountain he can't climb
And all we have to do is just let him go
We'll meet again one day, but he doesn't know
So now sit back and watch as he falls away
We'll see him in the cathedral one day
Is this death really so unnatural?
Is this death really so unnatural?
Is this death really so unnatural now?
But what is built will stand
This palace is eternal
The guard will change but the memory will survive
So work with steady hand
And conquer the internal
And when it's time we will all know that you're still alive

These idle hands so desparate for purpose and a solid goal
The skull tree standing old and wise alone, it may mend your broken soul
Birth, life, and death
Contained in a single breath
The journey will be dangerous and long
Sharpen your blade and mind
No second chances, no time to rethink
Don't speak don't fall behind
Birth, life, and death
Contained in a single breath
Finally here the ritual can begin
Stay calm, watch and learn
The forest full of ghosts now bathes in light
The crimson candles burn
For all your strife
The skull tree will grant you life
Birth, life, death
Contained in a single breath

Legendarium of Death

You find another way to give yourself life
A necromantic pain obsession
You prosper once again through fury and strife
And build a legend
But will history really tell the truth
and will the legends be
Human
Look at the gods and kings
who came before
The valiant rage
In silence
The legendarium
of death grows more
You write your page
In violence
When chemicals run through your vessel's veins
What will the legends say about you
When you fly through the stars on astral planes
Will you remember
And will history really tell the truth
and will the legends be
Human
Look at the gods and kings
who came before
The valiant rage
In silence
The legendarium
of death grows more
You write your page
In violence

Live at the end of time
Look back and see nothing at all
Just one blink took you here
One more to trigger your big fall
Where is your demon now
Where is the faintest dot of light
Leaving you all alone in this darkest of nights
When all is done and you
feel fire's might will you see
Will it be what you aimed for
When all is gone and you
stand at the end will the memory remain
forevermore
I am the boatman now
Scratching the blood into the scrolls
The ink into the skin
As black thunder rolls
I'll take you to the end
And it'll only cost a soul
So step aboard and let
your life take control
When all is done and you
feel fire's might will you see
Will it be what you aimed for
When all is gone and you
stand at the end will the memory remain
forevermore
The tree of life uprooted at last
Those glowing eyes reflecting the past
And now you feel the serpent's bite
Here comes the night
Oh and here I am the judge of all
The demons call your names
We are all gathered here this day
To see the universe go up in flames
The pyramids once piercing the sky
Will crumble till there's nothing at all
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Under the Spell of Destruction
by Legendarium
supported by 8 fans who also own “Under the Spell of Destruction”
Under the Spell of Destruction almost feels like an album uncovered from an alternate timeline. It's a world where the spirit of 80s NWOBHM and 70s Post-Punk continues, and renaissance faires are running all year round. This saga of 11 journeys evokes images of gothic architecture, medieval tragedy, and the Grim Reaper wearing shades and collecting heads while cruising in his black Pontiac Firebird.
