Empires Of Eden - Channelling The Infinite lyrics



Tracks



01. Cry Out

Cry out, for the nation
Hold out, for salvation
Cry out for the nation
Hold out for salvation

It's the end of the road
All the signs say the kingdom will fall
End up selling your soul
Just to buy, another minute of time

(Cry out), for the nation

Looking over the edge
Standing tall on your pride, like the eagle will rise
Turn your back on the king
And you'll never believe what tomorrow will bring

Fight the fight of your life
Feel the pressure, it's breaking you down
Let the blind lead the blind
There's no question, this ship's going down

(Hold out), for salvation

Looking over the edge
Standing tall on your pride, like the eagle will rise
Turn your back on the king
And you'll never believe what tomorrow will bring

No!

Don't you know, the day will come
In the end fallen angels run
Burning skies, across the plain
The king of kings will rise again

Cry out, for the nation!

Looking over the edge
Standing tall on your pride, like the eagle will rise
Turn your back on the king
And you'll never believe what tomorrow will bring

Fight the fight!

02. Hammer Down

Defending, honour and pride
Pretending, there's nowhere to hide
I alone, will face my destiny

Forever, my spirit will burn
Never, will I turn
My back on blood
My senseless victims feel the fire

I am now reborn in vengeance

Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down

See the blood, the day has come your life is over
I dominate, crush your spirit walk through fire
This is my decree to stand and face the enemy
Locked in blood, toe to toe
Our battle rages

The power flows through me, they will feel the steel

Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down

Feel the steel all guns loaded
Vengeance mine your life has ended
Pull the trigger brain exploding
Born of blood my blade of vengeance

03. This Time

This time - this time

I don't understand why
I always took the blame
As long as I could remember being pushed away
I tried hard as I could
And how I lived your pain
I hoped in time and in future you could see a way

I guess it's time I let it go
There's just one thing that I know

This time
Never gonna let it under my skin
Never again
This time
Never gonna let it under my skin
Never again

Every time I looked in yours
It was there to see
I would wait my second chance it wasn't down to me

I guess it's time I let it go
There's just one thing that I know

This time
Never gonna let it under my skin
Never again
This time
Never gonna let it under my skin
Never again

Again! - Never again

This time
Never gonna let it under my skin
Never again
This time
Never gonna let it under my skin
Never again

04. Channelling The Infinite

I've open up a doorway
Come fake my hand

Spiritual treason
All the more reason
I'm leaving everything behind
No wrongs need righting
So there's no more fighting
This power coming from inside

Race the speed of light
We fly amongst the skyways
Hear the dead of night calling out your name
Laugh in the face of death though
His scythe may be upon you
Feel his icy breath chilling down your spine

We'll beat him back he has no hold on you
All out attack we awaken

Join us as we're channelling the mind
Eyes wide open all the world the world is blind
This empire lights the fire we are now alive

Chaos be still the night
Its blackened reign is over
Lies of hopeless dreams we know what we're become
Truth look in the mirror a future never brighter
Shattered such broken glass will never reap our blood

Sworn to protect
They lie defenceless
We'll break their necks
They call us reckless

Join us as we're channelling the mind
Eyes wide open all the world the world is blind
This empire lights the fire we are now alive

Now look what we're become
Power in our hearts defining who we are
All this we're overcome
We're saved the best for last evolving from our past

Look inside and see
That living on the edge is what you need
Blast the few who try
Their standing in the way they would deny

Join us as we're channelling the mind
Eyes wide open all the world the world is blind
This empire lights the fire we are now alive

05. Lions For Lambs

Staring at the man I see in mirror
I don't see the warrior I know I've been
Where did we put our souls to rest
To give our children a better chance

I can hear the riot in the streets
I can smell the battles on my land

Mother nature where's our gold?
The meaning of our lives?

Walking alone in your disguise
We're so strong we'll never fall
Holding our souls out of paradise
The struggle of hope for our future left
Chasing we shadows you left behind
We're back on track, we're born to raise hell
Leading to where we would need to hide
Never again lions for lambs

Looking at the world we've been trapped inside
I can see the warrior we might have been
Where did we hide our faith in us
To give our planet a better life

I can see the truth we carry on
I can feel the shadows in our soul

06. Cyborg

For thousands of years
We have watched all the tears
We never surrender
But we are tired to fall!

So many lives we have taken
So many men forgotten
We are all members
Of this empty hall

Then again we hide
Our memories feed the hate
Until the last drop of blood
And disgrace

Cyborgs
With no soul, we have gotten
Our revenge until the dawn

Cyborgs
All the past will be remembered
Until the last damage is done!

Created by the fear
Always been unbelievers
We have always been
Blind enough to not change

At all, but now, for all the deaths
The fall

We rise! To unmask the lies!
We are ready to kill tonight!

07. World On Fire

Enslaved to faceless shadows through burning lies
Your hopes are broken and dehumanized

Deathly shadows overcome through our desperate cries
Evil falls but is sure to rise again

We'll take our secrets to the grave - for eternity
Darkest pleasures through this pain - never sets you free
In this darkened world of fears - a cold reality
Nothing sacred in this hell

I've tried to understand you - end all your lies
Distorted cold obsessions sacrificed

As the serpent rapes your mind - evil's poison flows
Now the truth entombed forevermore

We'll take our secrets to the grave - for eternity
Darkest pleasures through this pain - never sets you free
In this darkened world of fears - a cold reality
Nothing sacred in this hell

As the sky is falling - watch your demons arise
Push you in the fire - the kingdom you devise
Nothing sacred - nothing to believe
World on fire calling me

08. Your Eyes

Follow me, I'll follow you
Let me go, I'll carry through
Find a way to set it free
Tell me all the troubles that you see

I can see inside of you
Don't you know it's killing
Just another of your broken alibis
Let me see inside of you
I can feel it killing you
Once again I see inside your eyes

Something's calling, can you hear
Can you see the fire from above
Bring me back again

I can see inside of you
Don't you know it's killing
Just another of your broken alibis
Let me see inside of you
I can feel it killing you
Once again, I see inside your eyes

09. Born A King

Out of the sea at the breaking of dawn
His silhouette cut from the sun
Foretold to be for this he was born
A new age of man has begun
Uniter of tribes destroyer of sin
But wicked his means to the ends
The ashes of cities and armies to come
Would scatter like leaves on the winds

Haunted by dreams and a calling
The voice of a king that rings in his head
Visions of empires falling
The prophecy coming to the life said the witch

Born a king born fighting
My enemies will burn
All the world uniting
The tyrant has returned

He armies grew quickly he swept through the land
A natural a leader of men
The souls of the fallen that fell to his feet
Feeding his power within
Trapped were these spirits unable to leave
Stuck between heaven and hell
A tyrant that no one would ever defeat
As long as he harnessed this spell

Say a goodbye to the ways of the old
Abandon the pleasures of life that you hold
The witch has the eye and says
It's foretold it is my destiny this I now know

I will reign fire across this land until all men unite as one
Beneath one flag, one man
And that man is me yelled out in prose

End born a king on the throne of thrones never to be removed

10. As Flames Scorch The Ground

I feel it
Inside me
About to break
Faces of death
My final breath
Is this the end?

Flesh turns to metal
My bones turn to steel
Veins become cables oh
Tell me that I'm real
Someone explain
My digital pain
Tell me what I am?

Will I die
Will I fail
Am I still a human anymore

What have I become?
Stronger than man
A perpetual being
Mechanical coffin
A ghost in machine
Living or dead
Created or bred
Insane or malfunctioning

Will I die
Will I fail
Am I still a human anymore

Oh yeah!

Will I die
Will I fail
Am I still a human anymore

Will I die
Will I fail
Am I still a human anymore

11. White Wings

Before the rise and fall
Home was such a distant memory
And when that day then come
An unexpected voice on the other end
The conversation played and brought me
Back into the scenery
Somehow I wish I was there on the pictures
That had been painted

My memories of home are few

Into the vast beyond, white wings of destiny
Return to where I belong
As I leave the ground white wings of destiny
Carries me to the sea and the sun

And so the Eden's call
I shuffle through the endless questions
Wondering what I can do
To keep back home and feel the warmth I know
I've nothing left to lose
My journey's done my faith has waited
There's nothing more
To prove the mind is blank the souls defeated

My memories of home are few

Into the vast beyond, white wings of destiny
Return to where I belong
As I leave the ground white wings of destiny
Carries me to the sea and the sun

12. Hammer Down

Defending, honour and pride
Pretending, there's nowhere to hide
I alone, will face my destiny

Forever, my spirit will burn
Never, will I turn
My back on blood
My senseless victims feel the fire

I am now reborn in vengeance

Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down

See the blood, the day has come your life is over
I dominate, crush your spirit walk through fire
This is my decree to stand and face the enemy
Locked in blood, toe to toe
Our battle rages

The power flows through me, they will feel the steel

Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down
Hammer down - bring the hammer down

Feel the steel all guns loaded
Vengeance mine your life has ended
Pull the trigger brain exploding
Born of blood my blade of vengeance

13. Born A King

Out of the sea at the breaking of dawn

Foretold to be for this he was born

But wicked his means to the ends

Would scatter like leaves on the winds

Haunted by dreams and a calling
