[Instrumental]
02. Legions Arise
Long have we slumbered, but now we awake.
We dreamt of your souls, whom now we shall take. Our legions of chaos have swollen in size. The long wait is over, to gather our prize. During our langour, much time has passed The Kings have returned, to lead you at last. So rise like the chosen you all have become. We march forth in battle, together as one. The stars have aligned, the spheres coincide, We lead you from darkness, to stand by our side. Legions arise, Legions arise You never lost hope, you never have strayed. Arise now my children, arise from the grave. We lead not the weak, they won't answer the call. As chaos descends, false metal will fall! Legions Arise 03. The Frost Monstreme
Ships are meeting, heroes greeting
Gift from each, to each, of death Bodies shatter, bones will scatter Frozen flesh draws frozen breath The frost monstreme I feel the freeze The frost monstreme Inside of me Ships are freezing, muscles seizing Fires burn in vain Nightmares lurk, in icy murk Cold bones in depths are lain The frost monstreme I feel the freeze The frost monstreme Inside of me Ships are sinking, eyes unblinking Icy breath that heralds death Numbing cold flows through your soul Frozen flesh draws frozen breath The frost monstreme I feel the freeze The frost monstreme Inside of me 04. The Fire Divine
"Fools!” cried the stranger
Won't you ever learn? Piety and virtue Won't help you as you burn Your heaven's just a nightmare When waking turns to hell There is no God to silence The braying of death's knell And the blind will lead the blind Straight into the fire divine Are you blind to what you see? The pain, the fear, the misery? Every night you kneel and pray And do as is God's will Yet God in all his mercy Bids you burn in hell Your heaven's just a fantasy To turn to in your fear A feeble straw to clutch at When you know that death is near And the blind will lead the blind Straight into the fire divine Are you blind to what you see? The pain, the fear, the misery? And the blind will lead the blind Straight into the fire divine Are you blind to what you see? The pain, the fear, the misery? The blind will lead the blind The blind will lead the blind 05. Stormbringer
The howling winds of chaos sound above the battle cry
As we slay the beasts and drink their souls to keep us half alive Our blade will moan a fearful song, an endless dance of death Until the lords of chaos fall and gasp their final breath And now we feel endless evil coursing through our veins We feel the long dead legions, all their suffering and pain We brought about the end of time to all the Gods we swore Now all that's left is entropy and dust forevermore Stormbringer Forged in ancient fire Stormbringer Beneath the new born sun Stormbringer Forever joined together Stormbringer The blade and I are one Reflected in the stagnant pool, the scars of life well worn The retribution of that cursed blade, and from our fingers torn We can't escape our destiny or from our future borne Giving up our blackened heart, there's no one left to mourn As we finally bring the curtain down and speak our last regrets Farewell to our conscience, and the soul we never met We have seen the world stop turning and all the others die We no longer have humanity to brave the word goodbye Stormbringer Forged in ancient fire Stormbringer Beneath the new born sun Stormbringer Forever joined together Stormbringer Stormbringer Forged in ancient fire Stormbringer Beneath the new born sun Stormbringer Forever joined together Stormbringer The blade and I are one The blade and I are one The blade and I are one The blade and I are one 06. Fractus Promissum
The promise that was handed down was never what it seems
Do we live a life of wonder or a curse of broken dreams Do we rise up from the ashes, begin the next crusade Or burn upon the alter of the terror that we've made Do we cower in the shadows or step into the light Embrace the blinding fury borne of chaos' holy might Rise up from the darkness, put an end to wicked schemes Or do we bow our heads and follow someone else's dream The promise slips away Another broken dream Will we ever heed the warnings sent from up above To build a brighter future in a world of peace and love Do we only hear the trumpet calling from below And destroy this lowly planet leaving nothing left to show Once a land of milk and honey, now it slowly rots away Living in a world of broken promise 07. Nightmare
Burdened now forever by the thing that haunts my dreams
When I try to catch a glimpse of it, all I see is me A specter in the master plan, sent here from below Curses, death and chaos are the only things I know I'm evil That’s what's inside of me I'm evil That's all I’ll ever be No escape and no atonement for the wicked deeds I've done Raised the dead and cursed you all And blotted out the sun In my mind I've burned the world A million times or more Hope and pray my visions Are just nightmares like before I'm evil That's what's inside of me I'm evil That's all I'll ever be I'm evil That's what's inside of me I'm evil That's all I'll ever be Walk the line of dawn and twilight The battles in my head And begin the war eternal Between the living and the dead Listen to my warning Heed every word I say This madness has to stop Before my nightmares turn to day I'm evil That’s what's inside of me I'm evil That's all I'll ever be 08. Before Tomorrow
The rattle of their armor
The rattle of their bones The pounding of their will Would turn lesser men to stone A testament of fire A testament of lies A communion made with anarchy Too late to realize Today we live in anger Today we live in fear Someday before tomorrow Today the end is near The chill of their intention A savage fall from grace A brutal congregation The chill of their embrace Today we live in anger Today we live in fear Someday before tomorrow Today the end is near The past is not forever The future now remade The call of ancient evil Sounds a vicious masquerade Someday a new beginning Someday his will be done Someday before tomorrow The end has just begun A testament of fire A testament of lies A communion made of anarchy Too late to realize Today we live in anger Today we live in fear Someday before tomorrow Today the end is near Today the end is near 09. Forever Black
Born into an endless nightmare
A prosody of filth and lies A sunken dream of grim illusion Compromise and alibis Nowhere to hide the truth, nowhere to hide the pain Hope is washed away in the jet-black rain Look into my eyes Reflect the darkened skies Look into my soul Forever black Forever black Born into a black forever We live in fear of what will come Hand in hand we cry together And reap the nightmares that we've sown Nowhere to hide the truth, nowhere left to hide the pain Hope is washed away by jet black rain Look into my eyes Reflect the darkened skies Look into my soul Forever black Forever black A tragic race to disillusion Our choice of heroes badly made They lead us now into temptation And turn our future toward the grave Look into my eyes Reflect the darkened skies Look into my soul Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black Forever black |
