“Anthem to the Darkside” is about Alister Vale, Orden Ogan’s anti-hero ‘mascot’, accepting that his mistake centuries ago is irreversible and embracing the resulting eternal darkness.

[Verse 1]
My whole lifetime I've been searching
A place of eternal peace
Where rivers are gently flowing
Between miles of endless green fields
A silent dream filled with light and life
But this paradise is lost
The path to it has disappeared again
[Refrain]
And my sky has no sun
The clouds took it long ago
And in these withered fields
All its rivers dried out
[Pre-Chorus]
If we ever had a chance
We lost it somehow
And certain is my fate
[Chorus]
Nothing is sacred (Nothing is sacred anymore)
No one is innocent (No one is innocent)
Everything is lost (Everything is lost)
And we all are dead
[Verse 2]
Can't you hear my cry now
That I've become the night itself
In every raindrop
Relentlessly falling down
[Pre-Chorus]
A silent dream without light or life
Because paradise is lost
The path to it has disappeared forever
[Chorus]
Nothing is sacred (Nothing is sacred anymore)
No one is innocent (No one is innocent)
Everything is lost (Everything is lost)
And we all are dead
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I've come to terms with it
This is my anthem to the darkside
Let me fall, wash me away
With the black tide
[Chorus]
Nothing is sacred (Nothing is sacred anymore)
No one is innocent (No one is innocent)
Everything is lost (Everything is lost)
And we all are dead
