Spent rounds
The coffin nails On your empires fall Icy silence No recourse All crucibles ignored Forward into darkness Futures unknown Dire incursions rage No one man stands alone Await the call Oncoming storm Let come what may The bodies of your dead can wait till dawn Sentinel of destiny Enemy engaged Numbered with the dead Take your glory to the grave Peace - dream of the wise War - the history of man Once refined, now demonized Hatred overran Await the call Oncoming storm Let come what may No light so full of hope as that of dawn Duty bound, to die without defeat Awaken life immortal, one last bitter retreat Contact made - wait out... Send command received When none remain, and all are overrun ...Objectives seized 02. Inside The Wire
Outer defences neutralized
Lessons in munitions are reprised Lancet never hammer Caution must prevail Concealment deep inside the wire Where instincts never fail Through fortified lines Last phase intercept Based in destruction Silently shreds Exist longer under threat Engaging to replay the debt Damage to infliction Patterns lie half formed Assaults never retracted In the hope to halt the war Laying waste, subversion Rendering in chaos with dead ammunition Undermine defences - facilitate Saboteurs inside the wire - interpenetrate Inner defenses - eradicate Inside the wire - too late?too late 03. Honour
Ground assault begins
By order open fire Vanguard - respect is borne Proud to hold first battle front none superior ... None superior Axis ever turning (advance as one) War's attrition has begun Intense the battle harvest Through the crimson mud Now thoughts turn and decline Unswerving loyalty advance is one Advance is one Weary from the start - at dawn's early light Silently torn away - unto the end of life As night has fallen Far distant horizons afire Beyond pursuit of victory In belligerence and pride A war to end wars With loyalty above all - except honour Loyalty above all 04. Suspect Hostile
Through the ages
As tensions rise All hostile and unknown Witnessing demise When lives are worthless Under friendly fire Suspected hostile Target acquired Attained tac-recon - regain misuse Spying eyes - reap the truth Evolution proficiency Air track engagement futility Visual angle - 12 m-rad of arc Filling scores - symbols coming dark No defiance - gather in all prey Track rapid fire - impact point displayed Hostile target verified Position traced - you cannot hide Mass destruct - initiate the cause Range within low flight - acquisition within war All tributaries - ballistics in disruption Confirmed kills integrity - N.C.T.R. corruption Escape is to evade Rancour empowers It's creation sets the trap In vertical dimensions New lightning wars to which man will Bridge the gap 05. 7th Offensive
Shadows amongst the cloudburst
Maelstrom returns A darkened shroud begins descent Wasted men secured As pulses fade Seventh offensive laid down Project D.O.4 Heroes made dishonoured ground Artillery now silent Fires forever stilled Chlorine burnt the throat Of all blood agent kills Gradients of syndrome Clouds of war enraged The day is lost, the night has won All ends at point blank range Maximum casualties The pointless slaughter Wiped out generations Man, en masse destroyer Final road to glory Surrendered life eternally No survivors Now proclaim the call for victory 06. Valour
Action this day
Ordnance at full release Frontiers crossed and violated Remote the chance for peace Acts of valour Fortify advocate Engage a strange alliance Embittered against hate Second battle drawing near March again on darkened moors Defiant without fear Belief a mortal cause Paradoxic triumph Foretold cost too high Here gods teach man nothing Uncensured life decry Legions robbed of faith Senses fractured in despair Main force of hardened souls Retro-active in nightmares Lifeless splinters of man Counterparts as one Splinters of man Counterparts as one Now in times of peace Rain falls on lonely graves Now in times of peace rain falls on lonely graves Vast stone assemblies Symbolic sacrifice Known only unto your god Hold anguish over life 07. K-Machine
Erasing all known species
Extinction seen Corrupting with intent Inhuman kill machine Superior objectives Precedence Killing fields of continents Attack the best defence With duty first, directed by your decree Bleak world divisional, man the last enemy Victims on the threshold Casualties of greed Dreaming to survive Mankind now born to breed Reinforced without belief Dominance as one Dictator, sanctify all Prey to none With duty first, directed by your decree Bleak world divisional, man the last enemy Carnivorous deception A dark ability Zero tolerance evolves Mass fatalities Arrogant compulsion Towards a violent end When you're digging your own grave in ignorance You alone descend The last hunter prevails Overlord - imposing will Another life, one more to grieve Status: probable kill.... confirmed 08. A Hollow Truce
First hour approaches
Perpetuating grief Empowering to strike down Sowing the defeat Their centre - line lies broken We will not forget Though faith will never falter Near life - closer to death Exhilarated fervour Fear is for the weak Another rank and file falls One more fills the breach Formation under heavy fire Unable to strike back Seized at disadvantage Retreat harder than attack View the pre-dawn aura Carve stone in hollow ground a Dark contract of sorrow Unknown.... no names found Sanity in question Enemy within Position of no error Mortal strength to win Treaty for an armistice Revert to battle plan Entrenched in delusion The last vestige of man Forever gone now, memories of the fall No semblance of an order lost Lost paths - direction clear once more 09. Pride
Epitomizing horror
Echoes it's bleakest past With willing replication Let perspective last Breaking deadlocks World bleeding inside Now the tide is turning In ever present pride Strategies executed All now beyond defeat Analysis, no rise to flaws See failure as retreat Rearguard advantage Third battle forges close Forceful and evasive So proud, yet morose Seeds of future discord Suspicion, fear and hate Never lying dormant One by one negate No last offensive All resistance ceased Forced down the final path Forwards into peace 10. Covert Ascension
With all darkest manoeuvres
Now concealed Technology asunder Re-engineered Total immersion in subterfuge Propagated lies, denial of truths The unseen image, a silent recollection Subversive tactics, covered with deception Reticent war machine Hidden operation Prowling evasively In latent devastation All missions silenced Under the black banner Repetitious action Spectral their agenda Indoctrination Deemed classified Holes within the net The need to know intensifies Massive restrictions Reflective all sectors Outside the radar Parameter secure Inherently to rend - a world of hurt to end Knowledge will defend - covertly now ascend Unsteadfast beliefs Assassinated state Conflict capacity Aurora of hate |
