02. Remembrance
Nightmare world
Reflected as a dream Vision blurred This surely can not be Twisted now Far from reality Delving into depths Mankinds depravity Violated planet - world bureaucracy Graved with resentment - global lunacy Stricken thoughts Terror overrides Pierce the fragments Of the mind Deep regret now Engraved upon the soul Mortality now echoes Throughout this world Avarice - leads to compulsion Ruined world - beyond recognition When we understand Will it be too late To future generation A legacy of hate 03. When Glory Beckons
When glory beckons
With no regrets On this day of sorrow The course now set End of life converges A sweet release Away from turmoil To find peace Death now approaching Where is victory? At one with the earth For all eternity Pride now forgotten Fighting for life Strenght decreasing Twisting the knife Now to leave - departure of the soul With relief - eternity unfolds Do not be sad - the pulse now gone The war of life continous - this battle now is won Mourn no more - reaching eternal rest Remember with no sadness - the final request Now to leave - departure of the soul With relief - eternity unfolds 04. ...For Victory
s daylight returns
The fires of hope still burn Crawl through darkened light Sickened by the mournful sight Tears fall from eyes Not sure what has been done Sorrow creeps throughout my soul All is lost, none have won The battle smoke remains Begin to feel the pain Alone now stagger on Unsure how it begun Through time war previals Thoughts fears cast aside Face the consequence alone With honour - valour - pride As fire fills the sky We once believed in life Now time to die ...For Victory Now in deaths glory Mans final destiny The final price to pay ...For Victory "They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them Nor the years condem. At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them." "We will remember them" 05. Graven Image
Words cannot explain
Darkest thoughts within the mind Centuries of hatred Now subside Commencing the birth Of new life Rise from the wreckage of the past Words cannot explain The feeling agony within Anguish summoned Perception begins All secrets now revealed You cannot win Searching in hope of a new age All feelings put aside Numbed by the vision Nothing left alive Facing devastation Awakened in remorse To rebuild from destruction Recreate life's evolution No chance for redemption All life now ceased Pleading for forgiveness There shall be no peace 06. Lest We Forget
War to end all wars
Hatred lost control Casualties now mounting Tales yet still untold Life's eradication Of man now beyond all reason Totally insane The human race becomes Lest we forget - thoughts will always haunt the mind Lest we forget - the bitterness remains Vast termination Man made rationality Complete elimination Of life beyond brutality Eternal resentment Re-occurs time after time Driven to despair Extinction drawing near Lest we forget - thoughts will always haunt the mind Lest we forget - the bitterness remains Lest we forget - thoughts will always haunt the mind Lest we forget - the bitterness remains Commence removal of all things valued in life The persecution what was once believd right Humanities objective now totally deranged When ignorance transpires, this world becomes insane. 07. A Silent Demise
From darkness
Through mists of time Centuries, aeons past Requiem of mankind Withdrawn in darkness Prepared to die Awaiting silence Anticipation subline A silent demise Indignant by nature A tragedy profound When put to the test Determination found Horror within Dissipates away Falling to your knees The time has come to pray...to pray To have no faith... silent demise Yet still believe... To have no faith... silent demise But not deceived To have no faith - yet still believe To have no faith - but not deceived To have no faith - in all the lies To have no faith - now as we die 08. Forever Fallen
Driven onwards
Past the point of no return Into the unknown Of lessons never learnt Their names - immortal Remembered evermore In memory of glory Forever fallen Standing proud Battles raging all around Fading past The revelation abound Anger predominates the mind Gathering all strength Tenacity is found Honour now forgotten Fear lost inside Despair no longer At all wasted life Their names - immortal Remembered evermore In memory of glory Forever fallen Now forgotten - all thoughts of yours gone by Fallen forever - forever fallen Life denied 09. Tank (MK. I)
As innocence dies
All tranquility subsides Running trepidation Isolated now Separating all ideas Must escape but how With no loss of pride Terror emerges from inside Screaming from within Taste the smell of fear Feeling in the air Damnation drawing near No beauty in this death Encased forever Powerless to resist As life slips away...away No cries of pity No reason to repent We have condemned the future Life cheaply spent Technology arise There shall be no compromise The stunned arrival Followed by the blind Helplessly now falling Leaving life behind 10. Armaggeddon Bound
On the edge - spirit begins to break
Chances unsure - not much more you can take Weakness grows - nerves start to crack Far from safe - there is no turning back A fine line - between victory and defeat At the midpoint - uncertainty complete Confusion prevails - unsure which way to move Holding no hope - there is nothing more nothing more to prove Trying to discover what is right And what is wrong Judged by false criteria Ideals strong Misfortune predictable Lessons learnt before Decisions now justified Perpetuate this war This battlefield wide open No territory gained Within this wasteland Humanity constrained Here in no mans land No mercy can be found Delirious perspective Armageddond bound. |
