Welcome to the slaughtered lamb A five-pointed star is guiding your way Stay on the road, keep clear of the moors And beware the light of the smiling full moon Something is out there, the howling is near A vicious creature that no man has seen Refrain: Wolves eating Wolves I wanna touch your bloody fur Wolves eating Wolves My claws are scratching at your door Wolves eating Wolves, Wolves eating Wolves This is our fate Wolves eating Wolves Blood Full Moon Skin-Trade Carnivorous lunar activities Killed all my friends, I’m hungry for meat Then at night they all will return Talking corpses that want me to burn Iam a victim of an evil curse So kill me, before you get killed

Empty Street - Dead City Mournful Screams - Fever Dreams Circling Round behind the walls Dusty Windows are my eyes I have locked every door Just like my wounded heart All play dead - But now its real Hide away - Cocoon House Its been so hard since you have died Ive tried to safe the memories But every moment fades away Even when its been so beautiful Nothing matters anymore....
3.
The walls are closing in Cold air bites in my skin Is this your deaths embrace? Or is it my last chance? You’re haunting me Its hard to feel Iam insomniac Dead Hands touching my neck Your footsteps in the room Sweet Home and icy gloom Ive built my own storm shelter Ive locked the whole world out But you take the raptors with you And now the grin again I ́m gambling with the devil But there’s no chance to win Put the rose upon my chest And burn my gold coffin My prison is haunting me
4.
Clear, phosphoric - His white eyes are watching from out of the wood Milk white skin - She’s crawling like an angel into my dreams Your hand leads the knife which is deciding about life and death Have no fear your own chosen god will take care of you Hear your voice - I’m so far away and alone in the rain He who hunts is not the evil - He is part of your soul Take my hand when the sky turns from red into black Behind the walls of reality I see all the spirits walk silently I have no name I’m nobody Till my dark totem has spoken to me Through the fire I’m calling you Red as the fox that I am now The pitch-black forest is my home Nothing matters anymore Their eyes are watching from the wall Their souls have never found a home Every childhood breaks away When the totem starts to speak Touch your skin and die Dancing with my totem ghost

Sheol 07:33
A long walk and all bones are broken No place to lay my Soul to rest
 All beasts are eating me from inward My body is a broken shell I ́m waiting for the black veil
 In the end we all return to dust Stripped down to the naked mind
 my past lifes are gone and meaningless Return to Mother Natures womb
 Voices from the trees are calling me
 I softly kiss the hands of death
 Deliver myself into the void There the wicked ceased from troubling And there the weary be at rest
 There prisoners rest together
 They hear no voice of the oppressor The small and great are there The servant is free from his master
 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery And life unto the bitter in soul
 Which long for death, but it cometh not
 And dig for it more than for hid treasures

Forlorn Man 04:42
Hit by the knife of your God He took the flame from your life I hear your echoes in empty halls You’re spitting rusty nails Hate can be the sweetest sin We build the walls up brick by brick And close the gates to paradise Refrain: Forlorn Man - Hide inside a shell Forlorn Man - Traped between the worlds I feel our power is fading away Can We find our way home? Once we wield mighty swords But now every mirror is crashed Sailing a river of tears Lost in the maze of your mind Walking the staircase to insanity My dreams have many doors Tell me which is wrong or right One step into eternity And two steps to eternal hell There is no light at the end No singing of sweet lullabies I whisper your name into the wind No paradise No afterlife Not even purifying fire Just vomit of the undead god And our spirits keep on wandering
7.
We built the spires to the sky Hoping that you will hear us cry A small step to eternity A drop into the endless sea Fatal Illusion - Holy Tears The Mountain never talked to me A bloody cross is all i see Echoes of prayers in the dome Silver and Gold for holy Rome Golden Altar - I ́m your slave I see the fire in the sky Too weak to hold my hands up high The Dragons there, he smiles at me The Ritual will set me free Left Hand Path - I will follow I ́m carrying a halo of fire
8.
Throw all your hopes on a pile of bones Embrace the splinters of a crashing world The Four Riders are galloping hard Leaving Blood Trails in all our homes Wrath of God - The End is coming near Fall of Man - Last Chance to grab a beer Refrain: Panic, Face Mask and Isolation Carry me down to the river styx Viral, Pandemic, Eternal Damnation Let ́s all count to 666 Alone, Afraid, Its the last Bell I hope that they serve beer in Hell Shut up, Rock Out and Bang your Head! Smile at Death! The Fallen Angels are joking all around They have a good time, when you’re down and out This is a lockdown - I’m locked in my own flat Kissin the TV and talking with the cat Children Cry - Your best friend is the fear Coma Kiss - Come on and get more beer!

about

Long Gone Ghosts was written and recorded between March and November 2020. I wanted to create an experimental Doom/Heavy Metal Record and I´m sure that I was influenced by Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead and tons of Doom Metal and Progressive Rock Bands.
