Our time is now
To raise our banners And reclaim all we've lost Avenge the lives they've taken No matter what the cost The last of us remain With longing for redemption This is our final chance To make our last ascension We will repay The lives, they stole from us I see a day A day for redemption Hear the choir call your name In the white walls your name engraved Now it seems I have found my way To the valley of the kings Hear the choir call your name In the white walls your name engraved Now it seems I have found my way To the valley of the kings Our day has come To face this terror And end their tyranny Destroy their hold upon us And set our people free The last of us remain With longing for redemption This is our final chance To make our last ascension We will repay The lives, they stole from us I see a day A day for redemption Hear the choir call your name In the white walls your name engraved Now it seems I have found my way To the valley of the kings Hear the choir call your name In the white walls your name engraved Now it seems I have found my way To the valley of the kings 02. Lost In A Starless Aeon
I was trapped in a game that I never played
What is my purpose? What is my destiny? A game is for fools, there are no rules I'll cheat this life, you will see soon That I am not your soul to test I'll find the edges of this maze And finally, I'll put to rest The emptiness that haunts my days You have made this world below The shadow of a dream My shadow is not for sale Not for sale So this is my last goodbye This is goodbye My last farewell Drifting through time Drifting through time and space I was drifting through time Laughter, used to fill my days But now, only sorrow knows my name I am lost in a starless aeon This endless path before me Searching for the end An empty void surrounds me Now I descend I can't escape this darkness Into the sun I fly and though I'm lost This game I won You have made this world below The shadow of a dream My shadow is not for sale Not for sale So this is my last goodbye This is goodbye My last farewell Drifting through time Drifting through time and space I was drifting through time Laughter, used to fill my days But now, only sorrow knows my name 03. In Frozen Fields
Called to arms
Not our war But still our destiny Ripped from our homes Torn apart Misery for all Where no flowers grow Gunfire will light up the night We are the living, marching to war In the fields of the dead There shall be With that rich earth A richer dust concealed Washed by the rivers Blessed by the suns Eternal minds pulse We are the dead, not long ago We lived and were loved, and now we lie In the fields of the dead, when great souls die The air becomes light Smoke fills the sky We feel death's grip upon us All, too young to die Our souls are taken from us When the snowfall is blinding You try to find your way Back to the place where you belong Back to your loved ones And when the snowfall is blinding You try to find your way Back to the place where you belong Back to your loved ones But death defies you Lost in trenches Trying to find a way out Breathing gasses Just trying to survive So much acid Death falls like rain Called to arms Not our war But still, we die for this cause Ripped from our homes Torn apart Senseless, our part in this war We are the dead Smoke fills the sky We feel death's grip upon us All, too young to die Our souls are taken from us When the snowfall is blinding You try to find your way Back to the place where you belong Back to your loved ones And when the snowfall is blinding You try to find your way Back to the place where you belong Back to your loved ones But death defies you 04. March To War
Cast your sails and light the torches
Through the darkest seas, we ride Shores of blood will mark our passage Crushing all against the tide From the ocean, bring the fire And set ablaze those who stand before us Burn the sands and light the pyre With lungs and wrath, we sing our chorus March to war, blood for all March to war, blood for all Let them taste the burning fire March to war, blood for all Burn our place in history As we mark our names in the great Halls, we join our fathers As we breach these bloody walls From the ship, we tread the land Laying siege, we tell our story Spraying blood across the sand Now as one, we march to glory No mournful cry to hear No painful burden to bear The wind will guide us there Now we sleep in the arms of the sea No mournful cry to hear No painful burden to bear The wind will guide us there Now we sleep in the arms of the sea Take back the kingdom And once more, we'll be free Never forget who we are Never forget what we have lost Memories frozen in the past But burning hearts can melt the frost No more shall we fear the end Waiting for us soon shall be Those we have lost beneath the waves Rising ashes from the sea March to war, blood for all March to war, blood for all Let them taste the burning fire March to war, blood for all No mournful cry to hear No painful burden to bear The wind will guide us there Now we sleep in the arms of the sea No mournful cry to hear No painful burden to bear The wind will guide us there Now we sleep in the arms of the sea 05. Rebirth
The winds from the frozen north
Brings shivers down my bones And my soul Souls are torn apart Towards the unavoidable death we are traveling And in the end no one will be freed Only ash and dust shall remain The man in black brings torture and pain Why should the mortal spirit be proud? He passes from life to his rest in the grave The hand of the king that the blade has born Is hidden and lost in the haze Led into the darkness No flame to light our path Our fate is written And we can't change the past Rise into the light And walk the earth again Now sits the mask of God Upon the face of men Arise From your burning coffin that is made from human skin Arise Arise From your golden chamber that was buried six feet down Arise And suffer in flesh Led into the darkness No flame to light our path Our fate is written And we can't change the past Rise into the light And walk the earth again Now sits the mask of God Upon the face of men Arise From your burning coffin that is made from human skin Arise Arise From your golden chamber that was buried six feet down Arise And suffer in flesh 06. Reverence

07. Master Of The Dead
Death surrounds me
The dead have come to take their prize A fabled prophecy Now we come to realize Death is marching Fast upon our weakened walls Our live departing Cries upon deaf ears befall For an aeon We have waited Almighty demon End this hatred Crack the heavens Cleanse the Earth Bring destruction For our rebirth Oh, master Why won't you hear our cries? Oh, master Awake from death and rise Oh, master We need you one more time Oh, master Game over, time to die Scrolls of ages Conceal the answers to our plight This war enrages Alone we cannot stand and fight I watch as the city dies Searching for the only cure You turn you back and blind my eyes And still we need you evermore For an aeon We have waited Almighty demon End this hatred Crack the heavens Cleanse the Earth Bring destruction For our rebirth Oh, master Why won't you hear our cries? Oh, master Awake from death and rise Oh, master We need you one more time Oh, master Game over, time to die This charm bestowed upon me To raise you from your sleep Reciting from this scripture To summon from the deep But now my powers fail me Was I ever the one? The heavens now betray me My god, what have I done? Oh, master Why won't you hear our cries? Oh, master Awake from death and rise Oh, master We need you one more time Oh, master Game over, time to die 08. The Everlong Night
My waking eyes deceive me
Is this the end? As I greet death before me My only friend My dying thoughts consume me My real sadness This sickness now entombs me Can't stop this, this madness My final seconds fade away Day turns to night, night turns to day I can't control chaos within Please free me of this sin My aching bones betray me This is the end But I can't turn to face you Unwanted friend My living pain devours me But still I wake My twisted soul is not yours Not yours to take My final minutes fade away Day turns to night, night turns to day I can't control chaos within Please free me of this sin My final seconds fade away Day turns to night, night turns to day My madness takes control within Please free me of this sin What is the color of the end? I see it now as I descend I walk alone in this eternal night What is the meaning of this life? What is the color of the end? I see it now as I descend I walk alone in this eternal night What is the meaning of this life? My final hopes forsake me There is no end For death's not here to take me I can't pretend That I am soon to join them Fathers of old For I am long to rot here Life to behold My final seconds fade away Day turns to night, night turns to day I can't control chaos within Please free me of this sin What is the color of the end? I see it now as I descend I walk alone in this eternal night What is the meaning of this life? What is the color of the end? I see it now as I descend I walk alone in this eternal night What is the meaning of this life? 09. At The Shores Of Silver Sand
Oh, rejoice, mortal men with the eve of your prime
Your steps shall be traced by the shards of time For your life shall depart with the joy it had given And a judgement of justice awaits you in Heaven Above the heresy the faithful stars align You leave a legacy to stand the test of time A mark upon the lives of everyone you know The winds of time can't hide your footprints in the snow Not for the riches, not for the stories That we are fighting but for the glory More fair than roses, the flowers of fire Just a trace of silver sand marks where the water meets land You leave this world alone but soon you will see A life to call your own forever free Your mortal past defines you but in the end Eternal life enshrines you, immortal friend Lost in the dirt, nothing can hurt me I have built my shields so strong that life cannot touch me Lost in the dirt, nothing can hurt me I have built my shields so strong that life cannot touch me Oh, rejoice, mortal men with the eve of your prime Your steps shall be traced by the shards of time For your life shall depart with the joy it had given And a judgement of justice awaits you in Heaven You leave this world alone but soon you will see A life to call your own forever free Your mortal past defines you but in the end Eternal life enshrines you, immortal friend Lost in the dirt, nothing can hurt me I have built my shields so strong that life cannot touch me Lost in the dirt, nothing can hurt me I have built my shields so strong that life cannot touch me Lost in the dirt, lost in the dirt Life cannot touch me Lost in the dirt, lost in the dirt I have build my shields so strong Lost in the dirt 10. My Home, My Grave
Forced into exile, lost is thy name
Banished to live every day just the same Cast to the edges, left here all alone All but forgotten, here I remain Left here to suffer, no life to reclaim How does it feel to see your own free world just burn? Serving my sentence, never to stray Reaping my judgement, I curse at the day All that I am, an empty shell of a man I have lost my way Here, here I stay Time, time can't break Free, free these chains Rain, washing away The fading light of a new day Drowning I stand, clutching the skies Drenched in the sound of my cries All that I have I'm destined to live out my days Nowhere but here, forever yearn But I will never return Waking again, long is the night Watching forever, I'm blind to the light Rivers of sadness fall from my eyes I have lost my way Here, here I stay Time, time can't break Free, free these chains I swear with all my anger I repent what I have done I swear with all my hatred And I will reclaim what I am Rain, washing away The fading light of a new day Drowning I stand, clutching the skies Drenched in the sound of my cries All that I have I'm destined to live out my days Nowhere but here, forever yearn But I will never return |
