Tracks



01. Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Only the Gods know
They're looking right through you
Straight into the eyes of a dead man
There isn't enough hours in the day
What will be seen
When your world comes crashing down
Starring in the eyes of a gone man
No more fuckin' time left on your side, on your side

All of your hopes and dreams - don't mean shit
All thats left is now to nowhere!
I believe, do anything at all costs
You must believe, not all who wander are lost.

Tied to the tree of woe, so woe to you
In front of the man with the dead eyes
With a choir of faith there's still hell to pay
Not enough hour in the day
Hell of pentence to be paid
So who's left to wonder?
In the wake of destruction, get mad

All of your hopes and dreams - don't mean shit
All thats left is now to nowhere!
I believe, do anything at all costs
You must believe, not all who wander are lost.

Something, somewhere, injects the eye, Texas! Nights!
Defines the sky.

02. Clouds Over California

Come forth for the cattle call
Confront the evil river you can't control
Wicked ways and venomous eyes
Just human nature in disguise
Lost in this world, Out on the edge
With death by our sides
Today I sworn that I wouldn't Mourn ya
Cloud over California
If that's the way it's gonna be the I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint in sinners eyes
Curse the clouds over California
This is the call to obey
Let the chaos reign!
Bloodshot and weary-eyed
We took you in full of sin and pride
It'll take you and break you away
It'll tear you apart
Today I sworn I wouldn't mourn ya
Clouds over California
if that's the way it's gonna be the I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint in sinners eyes
Curse the clouds over California
This is the call to obey
Let the chaos reign!

I'm a saint in sinners eyes
Curse the clouds over California
This is the call to obey
Let the chaos reign!

If that's the way it's gonna be the I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint in sinners eyes
Curse the clouds over California
This is the call to obey
Let the chaos reign!

I'm a saint in sinners eyes
Curse the clouds over California
This is the call to obey
Let the chaos reign!

03. Bound By The Moon

Brothers and Sisters.
The Lord's taking his own sweet time.
Without rhyme or reason.
The failure is not thine

Like wolves to a virgin.
The intention is made clear
At war with ourselves
At war with the odds
At odds with the fear
Hard times will bring you way, way down
And all of this running
It's gonna be death of me

When they ask you about this
Tell them I was...
Running in the company of wolves
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood, Bound by the moon (By the moon).

Went to the well
But the goddamn thing was dry today
I spent all of my life
Running from suicide
Is it the fucking fool
That keeps on chasing the dream?
A dream that cannot fail
So proudly we hail!

When they ask you about this
Tell them I was...
Running in the company of wolves
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood, Bound by the moon. (By the moon)

And we shall woam
And the wolf fucking fucked her
Lay as she lay bleeding on the moors
Bleeding on the moors.

Running in the company of wolves,
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood, Bound by the moon,
Brotherhood of wolves

04. Horn Of Betrayal

What the fuck do you want from me?
It's so damn plain to see that you're not grateful
Silence takes courage
No scars, no truth but the wounds tell the story
Of what will be done for honor and glory
Silence is deafening
Does the end justify the means?
In all honesty, how do you sleep?
Silence takes courage

The horn of betrayal
Sounds loudly for the fallen
While mine eyes are world away
Watch cowards as they bend the knee
Scratch a liar
Find a thief
inside is where the demon dwells
So I bite my tongue and when it comes to you
Silence takes courage
Your heart needs amputation
Crying the get-lost blues
Fuck you!
Silence is deafening

The horn of betrayal
Sounds loudly for the fallen
While mine eyes are world away
Watch cowards as they bend the knee
Scratch a liar
Find a thief
Through the lies and the blasphemy
You are fucking dead to me
You are dead to me
This de los muerte, this day of the dead
It turns for me celebration instead
Skull and Bones, walking away from the throne
To seek another kingdom
(another kingdom)
(another kingdom)
(another kingdom)
Your selfless heart
Your selfless
Waves of sorrow washed over me
Your selfless
Like a sea of new memories

05. These Fighting Words

Pleading your case while taking the eternal high ground

Havoc on the airwaves, I'm listening
Don't see any daylight glistening.
Long for the home I left yesterday
Those memories slowly decay

Two highways
The fork in the road
Which one to take?
Through the middle they rode!

These fighting words deserve exile
Banished!
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible...Right

Fucking feast for the eyes
Believe now - Beast killers arise
In my opinion this dominion is mine
Banished, days gone away

These fighting words deserve exile
Banished!
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible...Right

Goddamn invincible! unbelievable

06. Head On To Heartache (Let Them Rot)

Secure and hold fast
Before you lose control
It's hell of high water
Believe in gods, hoovers, horns and thunder
Days of wrath, don't go seeking shelter
Poison creeps, serpents sluther, then slumber

Bastards, paradise, true the bargain was made
Full thrust, entired to an early grave
Deals were struck late into a cold winter's eve
The table was set, laid out for the feast

Secure and hold fast, before you lose control

Head on the heartache
Beware of the promises made
Head on the heartache
Steadfast on an early grave (Let them rot!)

Deals with the Devil, there's no second best
It's in my nature to say fuck the rest
Ever thought the world was crashing down?
Man, people were talking all around

Bastards, paradise, true the bargain was made
Full thrust, entired to an early grave
Deals were struck late into a cold winter's eve
The table was set, laid out for the feast

Let them fucking rot!
Let 'em rot

Secure and hold fast, before you lose control

Head on the heartache
Beware of the promises made
Head on the heartache
Steadfast on an early grave (Let them rot!)

07. Monsters Of The Deep

Is there a promised land
Or am I on the journey going to nowhere?
Are the streets paved with gold
Or am I slipping on the mold that slowly grows there?

Every man has his conscience
Sanity

Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
Setting forth together now
Out towards the monsters of the deep

Set your sights on rocky shores
You just might run aground on the reef
The journeys in the destination
Mention fear, you're falling on deaf ears

Every man has his conscience
Sanity

Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
Setting forth together now
Out towards the monsters of the deep

Aye, Aye

Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
Setting forth together now
Out towards the monsters of the deep

08. Tirades Of Truth

Reaping the wind through this mortal shell
In the wake of destruction this will not fail
Walking with shadows defined by my suffering
feeding the spirit through divine intervention
Out of the fire, so much for compassion
I've thrown it to desire in time you'll hear

Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgement...listen

The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels
And above bests

Its a seldom clear, the roads to temptation
Are filled with such peril but but the human spirit can
Soar, it's more than we can ever be in one lifetime
We need more to become gods ourselves

Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgement...listen

The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels
And above bests

Temptation

Even the heavens aren't innocent, innocent

Tirades of truth,
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgement...listen

The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels
And above bests

09. Burning Sermon

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
You carry the burden as an excuse
To keep the pressure on
So you don't fall off
Seem to love the usual vices
Gonna get your fill
So take your pills
I'll see you in the morning
No one ever comes full circle
And never will
Welcome to the puty party
The sign says KILL!

O, the webs you've woven
The lies you've chosen
The love in ruins
This fucking betrayal
Will bring the truth out
Out on the table, for all to see, see

This burning heart is a burning Sermon
With whiskey it burns
Taken, ridden, ravaged...
Bedlam, Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit

Wake up
You fucking coward of a man
The line between us
Has been drawn in the sand
I'm calling you out
On all your bullshit to date
So hand a light
out for me

O, the webs you've woven
The lies you've chosen
The love in ruins
This fucking betrayal
Will bring the truth out
Out on the table, for all to see, see

This burning heart is a burning Sermon
With whiskey it burns
Taken, ridden, ravaged...
Bedlam, Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit

This fucking betrayal

This is a call to the throne
Call to the throne

Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit
Wake Up

This is a call to the throne

10. When Summoned

Bloodthirsty - horn on the wind
Hellhen - outside looking in
Voices that carry on nightly
Don't ask - just go in now blindly

I'm bloodshot, thrown away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of anger to be avoided

Extended forgiveness, and then got bit..
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
They call it the breaking point

Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned

Nothing's ever set in stone
Wade through, harvest seeds you've sown
It's all right, right as rain
As far as I'm concerned, FUCK THE FAME!!

Im bloodshot, thrown away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of sadness to be avoided

Extended forgiveness, and then got bit..
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
They call it the breaking point

Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned

Climbing..scratching..uphill
So breathless, lifeless, able still

Long live this short life of trouble
Long live, short life
Long live this short life of trouble
Long live, long live

11. The Axe Shall Fall

This abomination
Won't see the end of days
Sit, throne of lies, torn
By voice on high
Death was only a dream
Not devastating disaster
The rights of passage
The past that we can't alter

Fuck you, you..
And the horse that you rode in on
Just sit there
And be silent as the grave
You've come out this time
Smelling just like roses
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine

The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down

The axe shall fall
On the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For he, who sins, against his kind
The axe shall fall

Alright..Alright!!

With a hollow heart
And hollow eyes
A cry from the cross
Serpents in disguise
Heats of distrust
Is what we despise
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine

The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down

The axe shall fall
On the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For he, who sins, against his kind
The axe shall fall

Alright..Alright!!!

The axe shall fall
On the one winged angel tonight
Tonight...tonight
