Beyond The Wrath of Ra is the second track off Apparitions album 'For Vengeance...And For Love'
The lyrics were written by S.Smallwood and D.Homer and are written below
       
         'Beyond The Wrath of Ra'
From the very start their love was cursed 
And by duty their passions were bound 
Yet despite the greatest danger 
Of a traitorous kiss 
It was kept secret 
Entombed, never to be found 
(Chorus) 
For their love they were willing to risk it all 
Even though the punishment was wicked and cruel 
So before these cursed lovers had the chance to flee 
They had to pay the greatest price for their treachery    

Now they are trapped beneath the sands 
To wonder through the dark eternally 
Where they lie still and wait 
To be awakened once again 
The day the secret’s revealed   
 Exhumed, to see the sky once more 
(Chorus) 
They clearly knew their dept was due 
For spilling royal blood, 
Over the dune, under the moon 
They bathed in scarlet floods, 
A legacy of jealousy 
A crime that went to far, 
But their love lives on 
Their souls as one,  
Beyond the wrath of Ra. 



02 Beyond The Wrath of Ra

Taken from the album 'For Vengeance...And For Love'
Lyrics by S.Smallwood

'Elysium'
Through the ring of fire I've searched for a solution for a way to bring you back Give me strength for resurrection 
Ignite my souring rage 
The spark that burns within me 
Untie these molten chains 
And let me return to infinity 

(Chorus) 
Back through the flames  I'll work again,  search again Back through the flames to find you Back through fire I'll fight again, Bleed again Into the flames to find you 

You once told me long ago That you would never leave me But the promise was snatched away When they sacrificed you to the ruthless sea 
For vengeance and for love 
I'll face the dark and unknown 
Release you from their grasp 
And wrapped in triumph we will journey home 

(Chorus) 

Breaking free from hurts so sore, don’t accept the torture you faced Drain the poison from your ear once poured So much stronger we return Not avenged But never disgraced 

(Chorus) 

Back through the flames 
Back through the flames 
Back through the fire 
Back through the flames, i'll fight again, bleed again 
Into the flames to find you 



Elysium

Apparitions first ever song recorded in 1997.
The song is about Winnie Johnson who's son keith was murdered by the so called moors murderers in the 1960's. Keiths body has never been found and up to her dying day his mother never stopped hoping it would be found so she could give him the burial he deserved.
The lyrics are .

The Pain Lives On

Yesterdays the same as evermore
On a quest no near and end
Looking for the answers I intend
To solve this mystery years I’ll spend,
Every week I search for him
Knowing my chances are very slim
In the deep dark underground
I’ll keep on searching till he is found

Infinite places he could be
An end to this hell I want to see
A Christian burial is all I wish
Please God grant me this
I’m woken up in the night
Cold sweat, nightmares, terror fright 
The tape recordings of his last words and screams
Horrific images haunt my dreams

Years pass as I search for my son
Years pass but the pain lives on and on
Grant me three wishes but I’ll just choose one
Years pass but the pain lives on and on
Long for my suffering to be gone
Years pass but the pain lives on and on
Will not rest till my work is done
Years pass but the pain lives on and on…..
