Tracks



01. In The Fallout

Waiting in a cold room dark for hours
And the time goes on so slow
Carried by desire for survival
From the crying wind that blows

Day into night - you can see their fear
It goes on, and on, and on
Cold is the night, as the time grows near
As we wait, and we hide, from the fallout

And we cry out
In the fallout, from the sky
In the fallout
And we hide out
From the fallout, in the sky

(The) Aftermath of cold light strikes the city
When the children raid the streets
Tell them they can live their lives in pity
For the dogs whose war they lead


Fighting to forget the guilt and violence
But the pain it burns so deep
In their eyes that whisper sad defiance
Of a dream they'll never reach

02. Shout It Out

Almost daylight, as the watch carries on he sees plans being laid
Always knowing, with the time coming near the ones who will be saved

Hear their laughter, as they gather around and watch a fool being stoned
Hear their whispers as he raises his eyes and warns of what he has told

And he calls to the world of the coming
In the end there'll be nothing left
Let me touch your soul I'll take you away

Shout it out
He calls to the world of the day of the coming
Shout it out
In the end you'll see his tears
Shout it out
He calls to the world of the day of the coming
Shout it out
There'll be nothing left but fear

And they're moving, to his chants as if he has touched powers above
His voice soothing, the mistrust in the eyes of those which he has come

Oh - almost daylight, as he gathers them all and cries for what he must see
In the darkened skies, he feels death descending with cold greed

03. Call Out The Warning

Face a dark life they cannot see
It's for their own greed not humanity
And they make the choice that will be their fall
It's a terror nightmare, they blindly call - yea

And they say that there's no tomorrow
In the night, we only hear their cries from the dark side
(That) Call out the warning tonight
From the dark side - (they) call out the warning tonight

Safe in power they sit and wait
They can't understand their impending fate
And their cold steel eyes - bleeding hearts of stone
They can't hear their own, crying souls - no

Fight the dark horse you've lived your lie
There's no time for last rites, it's time to die
Into waiting darkness below you'll fall
Hear the lost souls their warning calls you

04. Fifth Angel

In a land far from nowhere
With a false god as a king
They rejoice and sing
In the night their chanting rings
In the dark mist they wonder
If it's true, the distant spell
They look to the sky
And they call the Fifth Angel

They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel

With his eyes dark and steady
Feel that time is growing near
In the days to come
They will hide his soul in fear
So he stands on the mountain
Signs that echoed as he fell
They stand hand in hand
At the dawn of Fifth Angel

They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel

You know it's a feeling
Like a memory from a spark
It all came together when Fifth Angel left his mark

You know it's a feeling
Like a memory from a spark
It all came together when Fifth Angel left his mark!

They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel!

They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel!
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel!

05. Wings Of Destiny

Take the children
March them off to war
Only numbered
To count down the final score

Lay in waiting
For the end to come
And their only chance
Is loaded in their gun

They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below
Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls

In battle daybreak
The field is grey and bare
They feel the presence
Of death that's in the air

They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below
Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls

Take the children
March them off to war
Only numbered
To count down the final score

In the trenches
A battle to begin
And they're waiting
To ride the wings again

They're riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings (the wings), from so far below
Riding on the wings (the wings), the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings (the wings), that carry their souls

Riding on the wings
Riding on the wings
Riding on the wings
Oh, of destiny

06. The Night

I see on television savagery and madness every day
Our twisted minds are spinning, coming ever closer to the break

Hide your eyes, don't watch them suffer
Can't you see the action isn't real
See their face, uneasy laughter
Maybe it's a fear we really feel

Through the night, you can't escape what you see
There is no way to be free
You can't escape what you see
There is no end to this dream

You watch them as they're screaming, haven't we all seen them here before?
You mustn't change the channel, wait until they scream a little more

What is that on the corner, fighting in the darkness on the street?
Can't wait to see what happens, just like TV violence that we need

07. Only The Strong Survive

Follow a madness, called by your desire
Always unending, driving ever higher

You know how slim your chance is, trapped here alive
Fighting the circumstance
But you know, in the end, only the strong survive

Only the strong survive
Only the strong
Only the strong survive

Stealing a lifetime, things you take for greed
Falling forever, trying to succeed

08. Cry Out The Fools

Call to me she speaks with evil eyes
Drawn away with whispers, of her spell
All escape but leave their souls behind
She has you trapped, inside her private hell

Hear her whisper, in the morning light
She's calling you away

Cry out the fools
That she takes, in the heat, of passion fire
Cry out the fools
In the night no escaping her desire

Lie with me desire is all it takes
A demon knows your weakness feeds your fright
Bound in chains your spirit she will break
She'll set you free, but never leave your mind

Hear her whisper, in the morning light
She's calling you away
It's just her vengeance, in the night

09. Fade To Flames

Here in this silent world, I know it's sure
Only in days of cold could I speak the words
Now I'm cast out again, sent far away
There's nothing left of me, on my judgment day

Sailing an endless sea, chained down by the force in the sky
I feel like a criminal, that's fallen and been left to die
If I walked in the land below, I could return to the sea
And watched as this criminal reached evil and set himself free

(And) then he came, I did not feel the same
Promises made, then he just fades away

"Now he must crawl to me, lies burning his soul"
"If he feels the love again, then he'll be saved from below"
So he looked at him through the door, all the torture and pain in his eyes
There's a feeling I got when he spoke, that forbade me to reach for the sky

What did he say? He thought it was all insane
So he might die, then burn in fire

Laughing at Satan's door, I could not see where to run
And he looks through me once again, and he knows he has not won
Back in the endless sea, I'm leaving the darkness behind
Back in this silent world, I've fallen and been left to die

What could I say, in the end I'll just fade away
Why should I try, I'd just feed the fire
