Time Machine - "Reviviscence" Lyrics
ROTTEN SOULS
I'm back from the fire, I'm back from the flames
eternally burning in my hell
I return with a vengeance
for the man with the cross
as the world wants to fall in my hands
it's a triumph of evil there's sin everywhere
and the poor is fighting and dying in war
what a beautiful vision of death and despair:
humanity is coming my way...
it's all so easy, temptation will work by itself
I don't need to make an effort
to conquer your souls to make you slaves
give me your mind, give me your soul,
and soon you will burn in my flames
I can tell that it's all that you want:
dive in the black sea of sin
I welcome your soul to my hell
while Africa dies bankers get rich on hunger, starvation, disease
industrial objectives in the hot Middle East
will help occupation increase
it's all so easy, temptation will work by itself
I don't need to make an effort
to conquer your souls to make you slaves
give me your mind, give me your soul,
and soon you will burn in my flames
I can tell that it's all that you want:
dive in the black sea of sin
I welcome your soul

REVIVISCENCE
where am I? am I here to stay?
who ami I? would you call me someone?
a new life, yet another life that I feel isn't mine
when I closed my eyes it was yesterday,
now I'm facing a brighter tomorrow
I shouldn't look behind, I should be looking forward
to the light, to the hope, to the chance
of starting again with a brand new life
in a future clear from misakes
I want to smile, I want ot love again
life like it could last forever
and I feel the strength in my heart, in my soul
feel the pulse of my blood in my head
and I'm standing again
in a timeless reality with much younger spirit inside
ready to stand high again
time for glory, time for you,
now the future is calling
time for vengeance, time to win,
here's the time for a new life within

ANGEL LUCIFER
at first I was an angel
who then wanted to be
the lord of the talking apes
ruling their world
my reason was to challenge
the Master of humanity
I didn't know, I wasn't aware
the angels would betray me
He doesn't talk to me anymore
and now there's that priest
the Holy Inquisition
they play those stupid tricks
I miss the light of the morning
since I got to fall from grace
I dive in the sin
it's burning within
there's evil in every man
one lie and you'll be mine
don't be scared to call my name
welcome to my hell
I'll take your soul it's falling
in the darkness of my hands
I will give you eternal life
the Light has failed to give
I'll take your heart it's bleeding
for that love that never comes
I'll give you back the ones you cared for
you'll take your sweet revenge
one word and you'll be mine
call my name and I'll be there
welcome to my hell
at first I was an angel
who then wanted to be
the lord of the talking apes
ruling their world
I miss the light of the morning
since I got to fall from grace
I dive in the sin
it's burning within
there's evil in every man
one lie and you'll be mine
don't be scared to call my name
welcome to my hell
I'll take your soul it's falling
in the darkness of my hands
I will give you eternal life
the Light has failed to give
I'll take your heart it's bleeding
for that love that never comes
I'll give you back the ones you cared for
you'll take your sweet revenge
one lie and you'll be mine

GRAINS OF SAND
grains of sand
in the hourglass turning
years and ages like smoke in the air
marking time with bloodshed and battles
kings and queens that
still handle our lives
from the sands of Egypt
to the towers of New York
a never-ending war for controlling our minds
once it was the Pharaohs
now it's called Mr. President
just another empire is controlling our lives
will it never ever end?
when a dissident talks
like the Nazarene rebel
systematically ends on the cross
when the time for change
by the masses is claimed for
anti-riot police forces strike in
how many wars, how many dead,
how many innocent have to die?
how much money, how much oil,
how many lives on sale?
how many wars, how many dead,
how many lives on sale?
as ages go by technology changes
but the purpose is always the same
religion, ideals used as excuses
history unfolds on the shots of the guns
when a man dressed in gold
talks of poverty and freedom
as Peter and Paul died in Rome
when a king in the East
kills his people with gases
history's best repeats itself
how many wars, how many dead,
how many innocent have to die?
how much money, how much oil,
how many lives on sale?
how many wars, how many dead,
how many lives on sale?

TEARS OF JERUSALEM
blood stains on the sand
blood stains on the ruins
it's children's
it's women's blood
the tears of Jerusalem
under the sun of the same old god
unde the fire of an eternal war
the clang of tanks shatters the hopes
the battle rages on
vengeance to vengeance for thousand years
the innocent die with blast in their ears
the cry of the victims invoking their gods
the angels look away
the horizon is fading to grey
shadows scream for pain
the lights of distant glories
have turned to obscurity
no one defies the night of belief
no one wants to see
the lights of distant glories
have turned to obscuity
no one defies the night of belief
no one will give in
the hoizon is fading to grey
shadows scream for pain
murders and killings for an impossible dream
locked in a cage of despair within
industrial crusaders making money out of war
the Nations will just watch
the horizon fading to grey
shadows screaming fo pain
the lights of distant glories
have turned to obscurity
no one defies the night of belief
no one wants to see
the lights of distant glories
have turned to obscurity
no one defies the night of belief
no one will give in

SEEDS OF REVOLUTION
when all began
I was his favourite angel
amongst the others
I stood supreme and pround
but then I thought
I didn't want to be His servant forever
and then I spread
the seed of revolution
he found me out
and condemned me to eternal
obsurity where flames don't ever stop
how could I explain?
how could I tell Him I didn't want that?
mine was simple, innocent curiosity
but since He got me here
my mission's increasing my power
I know that I can drag me to most of mankind
look at them: they're lined up as slaves
they're going to be my army
the Army of the Dead
now here I am
the sovereign of morbid emotions
I watch you act and blame me for your filth
you're accusing me
for crimes that you're committing
I've really got nothing to share with you
but since He got me here
my mission's increasing my power
I know I can drag to me most of mankind
look at them: they're lined up as slaves
they're going to be my army
the Army of the Dead

REVALATION
you've been trying
from the very start
to set a strain to my power
you've been trying
with your gods and your saints
to stop my control of your nature
you've been trying and tried so hard
but never got to succeed
building shrines, temples, cathedrals
can only slow down my victory
and it's time that you ask yourself
"what are you fighting for?"
can't you see that what you condemn
is the evil within yourself
I, I'm the king
I own your soul since ever
fighting me
is fighting your own human nature
I'm I'm your lord
you can't escape from my stare
I, I can see, I see it clear
I see myself in you
once you promised
you wouldn't fall from grace again
it reminded me I did the same with Him
but then it happens
that you can't get hold of your strength
and your heart gets sinking in black mud again
it's not me that you were searching
in the ashes of burning witches
it's not me that you're rejecting
with holy water and other supersitions
/\
SIGNS
who knows when the gate is open
what stands behind the door?
who knows when the fight is over
if the winner has really won?
who knows?
so many times I thought I was there
so many times I lost
now I feel that I'm the winner
the one who takes it all
and I see the light at the end of the tunnel
forces are growing in me
one day is gone, one life has come,
the dream is turning real again
one night has passed
the dark will end
the sun is shining again
one day is gone, one life has come,
the dream is turning real again
one night has passed
the dark will end
the sun is shining again
signs, signs fom above
will show me the way
lies, lies from below
belong to yesterday
one day is gone, one life has come,
the dream is turning real again
one night has passed
the dark will end
the sun is shining again
one day is gone, one life has come,
the dream is turning real again
one night has passed
the dark will end
the sun is shining again
signs, signs fom above
will show me the way
lies, lies from below
belong to yesterday
