01. Spearhead

Spearheads

Spearhead - Pierces through you
Fear numbs my mind, persecutes you

Spearhead - Marching onwards
Take my soul, sacrificial offering

Your initial strike taken by surprise
Now left alone, condemned by my pride
Drained of all emotion - Body now an empty shell
There's nothing left - You've taken all away

Adrenaline flows
Now filled with anger
Just what will be the outcome
Mass confusion tears my mind

Spearhead - No victory sublime
Another fallen victim - I will not beg to you
Spearhead - To which I cannot hold
With clear perceptions my destiny unfolds

I look to the reflection, fail to recognise what's seen
A figure clothed in hatred, I pray that this cannot be
Faced by this total stranger - Aware of your creation
No vision of your former self - Controlled by your instructions

Onward you advance, left in a mindless trance
Hypnotised by your will, desire is now instilled
Now staring face to face, your eyes filled with hate
Held by your contempt, both by weakness and by strength

Adrenaline flows
Now filled with anger
Just what will be the outcome
Mass confusion tears my mind

My mind

Tears my mind

Spearhead

02. Crown Of Life

Rising - From mundane existence
A new world - Seen through your eyes
To deception - Give no resistance
All your hopes and dreams are now sanctified

Blind to the hypocrisy
Goodness is all that you see

Your past life - Is cast aside
In false truths - You now confide

Pledged to a life of divinity
Superior through your own piety

Holier than thou - Alone you wear the crown

In your private asylum
Look to what you have become
Condemned to misery and strive
Alone you wear the crown of life

The crown of life
The crown of life

03. Dying Creed

Fallen are the people of the decaying race
Now proclaim the legacy inherited too late
Too late

Mankind - The dying creed, reared on ignorance and greed
On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs

A path of self-destruction they cannot see
Regarding their only interest in profitability
They cannot see

Open up your mind before it's too late
Unlock the chains of confinement that we create
Grasping all you can - Overloaded capacity
Nothing can conceal instinctive rapacity

A movement to disaster could this be the final plan
Blinded by our avarice the closing chapter
Extinction of man

Mankind - The dying creed, reared on ignorance and greed
On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs

04. Lament

The time has come to leave this place - Never to return
Nothing's left but ashes - My body now is spurned
Your sorrow will subside in time - My one, true, only friend
There is one thing we can do - To avert this bitter end

Up amongst the stars I dwell - Tranquillity is found
I look upon the earth - To which all human life is bound
Alone I wander aimlessly - For now my spirit's free
My soul exists within you as I guide your destiny

The tears of grief you weep for me - Through uncontrolled
emotion
You have given me your all - A life time of devotion
So come my friend take my hand - Together we shall see
The pathways through the darkness - For all eternity

Eternity
