Intimidation, I stand before you now
Hold my ground, you won't strike me down A validation of all the blood I spilled Survival of my will There's nothing left to say Yourself you have betrayed We must try to seize the day All the world will hear you Our voices can't be bound All the world will hear you Redemption in the power of the sound Interpretation of all the thoughts I shared Draw you near, creating all your fear A brand new nation for those who persevere The future is so clear There's nothing left to say Yourself you have betrayed We must try to seize the day All the world will hear you Our voices can't be bound All the world will hear you Redemption in the power of the sound A validation of all the blood I spilled A validation... All your blood spilt All the world will hear you Our voices can't be bound All the world will hear you Redemption in the power of the sound 02. Burning The Lives
Soon a darkened pyramid will rise
There will be no escaping from the all seeing eye Lost in blindness Serving shielded masters still unknown Chaos is their goal Corrupt you heart and soul The air is getting thin Will you give in? All the voices of the lost and forgotten Still lay in their graves they've been silenced for their thoughts Lost in blindness The history is written in their blood Chaos is their goal Corrupt you heart and soul The air is getting thin Will you give in? Burning the lives and the pride of the innocents Tearing down all that we built! Chaos is their goal Corrupt you heart and soul The air is getting thin Will you give in? Burning the lives and the pride of the innocents Tearing down all that we built! 03. Stormwinds
Fighting to control my mind
But tragedy is all I find! The panic builds up from deep within The subconscious mind Always thought that the pain would end With the passage of time No matter how many layers deep You try to hide yourself They will all crack and peel away To reveal something else From the past we must break free Come to terms with all that tortures me Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away I will be the only one who is left to decide There will be more that is left for compromise Break away from the curse of man's original sin Turn away as you stay hidden behind a twisted grin From the past we must break free Come to terms with all that tortures me Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away Purified I stand before the flames As the ashes cover yesterday Imprisoned by actions of the past No use holding on Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away Purified I stand before the flames As the ashes cover yesterday 04. Failure Of The Devout
I am the heir of the damned kingdom
Born into a legacy of regret Searching for the promise of salvation Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire The grip of our desire Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay Who would save those who condemn themselves Cripple! Cripple your own savior The failure, the failure of the devout Set in motion by final sacrifice Change begun in the name of righteousness Infiltrated by greed, lust and hatred Once more corrupted by the hands of man Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire The grip of our desire Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay Who would save those who condemn themselves Cripple! Cripple your own savior The failure, the failure of the devout The handsome mask of the devil The lure of the cross! Of the dark! You violate the sacred with your greed Prey upon the people's misery and needs With your greed, with your greed, with your greed! I am the heir of this damned kingdom Born into a life of regret Searching for a promise That's no longer kept Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire The grip of our desire Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay Who would save those who condemn themselves Cripple! Cripple your own savior The failure, the failure of the devout 05. Venomous
I only wanted to
Kill the pain and the sorrow Instead I buried you And killed the happiness in me Can you hear the laughter Coming from my grave? Suddenly it seems to me That I am my own worst enemy We can never hope to breathe In this misery Full speed with blinders on Never stopped to see the horror I think you always knew I'd drag you down to hell with me Can you hear the laughter Coming from my grave? Suddenly it seems to me That I am my own worst enemy We can never hope to breathe In this misery Think of all I've said and done All the fights I thought I won Another scar for the chosen son The ungodly one How can I Purge this venom from my veins? Your sweetest suicide Drags you in and flips that switch As you fade away With the breath of every hit Can you hear the laughter Coming from my grave? Suddenly it seems to me That I am my own worst enemy We can never hope to breathe In this misery Think of all I've said and done All the fights I thought I won Another scar for the chosen son The ungodly one 06. Another Lost Hero
I'll never leave you
But fate has come to silence me Darkness is all that I see I can not reach you And soon the earth will cover me It's become so hard to breathe Forever is waiting The final steps you're taking Will soon be buried in the sand All the battles they say we won They leave another thousand lives undone Another thousand lives undone Forever is waiting The final steps you're taking Will soon be buried in the sand You're gone, but not forgot Another hero lost The sorrow builds with every passing All the lessons that you taught And all the light you brought Lives on in the eyes of your son Forever is waiting The final steps you're taking Will soon be buried in the sand You're gone, but not forgot Another hero lost The sorrow builds with every passing All the lessons that you taught And all the light you brought Lives on in the eyes of your son 07. Final Call
Seeing it all
Heeding the call Lost without hoping to be found A willing exile, I turn away Rather face the endless silence Than the hopeless and fear of today The ashes choke the sky Death's swift hand in disguise Awaiting the final call No use hesitating Are we fearful of how dark it's grown? The emptiness surrounds Can not believe Refuse to think I'm on my own Who will be cast out? Trust in the lies that held you bound Their twisted values lead you astray They disgrace the world with violence Leaving bitterness, despair and decay The ashes choke the sky Death's swift hand in disguise Awaiting the final call No use hesitating Are we fearful of how dark it's grown? The emptiness surrounds Can not believe Refuse to think I'm on my own Who will be cast out? Lost without hoping to be found A willing exile, I turn away Rather face the endless silence Than the hopeless and fear of today Awaiting the final call No use hesitating Are we fearful of how dark it's grown? The emptiness surrounds Can not believe Refuse to think I'm on my own Who will be cast out? 08. Dread Uprising
Reflecting on this life
Through the eyes of ancients The wisdom of beyond Chant! Chant them down Down into nothing This power screams out from within Like the trees that struggle towards the sun Once again in due season we are reborn Strike down the heathen This must end Chant! Chant them down Down into nothing This power screams out from within Swaying deeply in rhythm with the winds There are eternal lessons within its pulse Raising their false banners of hope Lies everlasting Fighting to save their self interest Dread uprising! An end to it all Dread uprising! Watch as they fall Strike down the heathen This must end Chant! Chant them down Down into nothing This power screams out from within Watch as they fall Raising their false banners of hope Lies everlasting Fighting to save their self interest 09. The Great Collapse
Instrumental
10. Just Another Nightmare
The echoes creep into your dreams
Torn awake from your sleep Unholy nightmare of savagery This can not be! The warmth soaks into your fingers And soothes away the pain Franticly replay the days The tattered clothes still drape your frame Crimson cloaked memories Blood soaked destiny This can not be the way it seems Incapable of these things Lost hold of demons inside of me This can not be! The warmth soaks into your fingers And soothes away the pain Franticly replay the days The tattered clothes still drape your frame Crimson cloaked memories Blood soaked destiny (The damage done) The desolation that's inside us This violence lurks beneath the skin (Beneath the skin) Do not be fooled by the quiet What I've become This silent killer dwells within The conclusion comes crashing in This is happening once again! This can not be! The warmth soaks into your fingers And soothes away the pain Franticly replay the days The tattered clothes still drape your frame Crimson cloaked memories Blood soaked destiny (The damage done) The desolation that's inside us This violence lurks beneath the skin (Beneath the skin) Do not be fooled by the quiet What I've become This silent killer dwells within Can it be that I am capably murderous? (The damage done) The desolation that's inside us This violence lurks beneath the skin (Beneath the skin) Do not be fooled by the quiet What I've become This silent killer dwells within Can it be that I am capably murderous? 11. Forevermore
The threads of life start to tear
Hang above the pit of our despair It seems the end is growing near The life you knew will disappear Every human life will overlap and intertwine Create the fabric and the destiny of all mankind Start the fires till they surround They start the fires burning until they surround Is there nothing left Worth fighting for? Forevermore Beneath the waterline Sinking further down I dwell in silence now Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost A tongue tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts Start the fires till they surround They reinforce their doubts until they draw blood Is there nothing left Worth fighting for? Forevermore Beneath the waterline Sinking further down I dwell in silence now Forevermore I will leave this world behind Finally I drown I dwell in silence now The threads of life start to tear Hang above the pit of our despair It seems the end is growing near The life you knew will disappear Forevermore Beneath the waterline Sinking further down I dwell in silence now Forevermore I will leave this world behind Finally I drown I dwell in silence now |
