02. The Purge
More and more, growing and growing
Spreading and spreading, taking and ruining The cancer is growing, the cancer is spreading Purge the world, remove them all Purge the world, remove them all Reaching out further, absorbing the earth Ever expanding, never stop breeding No room to move, no room to breath Human scourge Consuming it all Filing ourselves Soon there will be nothing left Wipe us all out, it's what we deserve Cleansing this planet from our disease The world we've created is choking us all Unchecked and rampant, wicked and vile Purge the world...of our curse Purge the land...of our mess Take us out...with one swift blow Take us down...with crushing force Purge the world, remove us all Purge the world, remove them all Purge the world 03. A Token Of Malice
Rank with hubris, scar the world
Watch the helpless weep and run in fear Cast the fire, scorch the earth Punish them and rip the ground away Storm with vengeance, leveled plains Leave them nothing and lay the land to waste Force them out, a drastic act Executing all even if their own will suffer Winds of terror will crush their world Flames of hatred shall shake their souls We liken ourselves to Gods Leaving lifeless regions of ruin Generations before it all heals We serve our time in hell 04. Majesty And Decay
A plague of madness will change the world
A gripping siege brings down the land Worn away by years of conflict Endless plains of crumbled stone A vile disturbance will move us all Its will is iron, a blackened soul Innocent blood will fill its need Watch you faith turn and flee The rousing of giants, the suppressing of spirit Majestic in presence, a guise to betray Loosening the noose while tightening the chains A race for victory, erase humanity All you have is all you've taken Crushed and silenced a people are broken Maniacal vision is brought to life March for victory, the beginning of the end Mortal element corrodes Thrown into the fires Banners of hate for all to see Massing hordes, command by fear Menacing decree, inhuman state Towering sorrow, choking every soul 05. Divine Code
Like venom it surges through heart and soul
Driven and guided by the fears of men A product of worlds so far apart A destiny failure, a kingdom of ghosts No emotions, no though, no fear Into the darkness with fanatical lust Raised for dying, a martyr's path Eyes are open but never see Filled with contempt for all the world Daggers of tyranny to the throat of mankind Twisted beliefs, numbed by lies A radical hatred consumes and devours A God of love, a God of war The Gods will tear us down Passions flow, released in fury Diabolical plans unfold Expendable lives, forfeit their souls Thrown into the storm A rise to glory, rapturous pride A fall from grace, into the abyss 06. In Human Form
Evolve from beasts, yet beasts we are
A Trial of will, to force restrain All the rage, locked inside Struggle on in human form Hate overflows It crawls its way, beneath our skin Its curse is strong, enslaves our thoughts Ignore the signs, unlock its fury Feel its power, indulge its tough Hate overflows This violent, primal rage A rage inside the soul now burns Reach the point of no return Internal fire that sears the flesh Melt away my human form Pure poison, potent and true Silencing the voice of reason On the edge, fighting for balance I plunge into my darkest depths The anger and menace, of this burdened soul Breaks the surface, free and wild Becoming the beast, to kill the fear Warped and twisted, vicious and savage A rage inside the soul now burns Reach the point of no return Might fires that sear the flesh Melt away our human form 07. A Glorious Epoch
Hear millions cry
The darkness falls Echoing the past Bleed the world dry Our threatened kingdoms The world is divided Trample ourselves While we claw for the prize The schemes of men have failed us all Strife with no end, our actions will betray us Battles will rage Violence will flow Repeating the past A tragic path once more Making our mark while leaving our stain Our legacy of arrogance will wither with the day Oppression and fear Our weapons of choice Always playing God It's never enough Our coveted conquests At such a great cost More suffering and loss A glorious epoch 08. Interlude

09. A Thunderous Consequence
A massive force cuts through the land
Hopes of victory as failure looms The pressure is building as spirits die The great Crusade to clean the world Step out of consciousness and move with instinct Mortal men with heavy hearts The Devil's game is played for keeps Pave the way for years to come Inevitable course upon death's path March toward the horizon's end Conviction and strength will carry them through To last another day Raging fires and chunks of earth Will throw them off their path The wailing sounds of comrades lost They'll carry to their graves End this war...bring them homes...bring them back...alive Take control...force the end...overwhelm them...with might The onslaught...the carnage...will scar them...for life Their innocence...their youth...was lost...forever Acres of death, oceans of blood Onward mercilessly, to triumph or failure 10. The Rapture Of Ghosts
Trudging forward, across the barrens
A life long lost, where has it gone Right through my hands, now I am here A walking shell, already dead Show me the meaning of pain... Tempt me with the promise of death Cold winds from their icy hearts...turn us all to dust Will breaker, courage taker Leading us on, leading us nowhere Taking its toll, the weak ones fall Boundless journey, boundless nightmare Can not find the light Can not find the way Humanity has left us Abandoned us to fate Can not move...can not breathe Smell the death...see the horror In front of me...the massacre of thousands The mind can't erase, what the soul can't embrace Dragging us into the dirt Soaking the ground with our blood Like beasts to the slaughter We'll never leave here alive Starved, stabbed, degraded and tortured Crawling, gasping, there''s nothing left Drained and beaten, slipping downward Fading fast, death has finally come 11. Power And Shame
So much wealth, so much to say
So man lives, are kept at bay Your hold is tight upon the weak and dispossessed Centuries of our enslavement have enabled you to flourish Your influence is selfish as you line your halls in fold With regal houses more of greed than of God your truth is shown So much fire, so much zeal So much opulence, that you can't feel The apathy you've shown the world as you hide behind your "Son" You show a face of great concern while you look the other way The foundations you were built upon are nothing more than lies The remnants of your glory days, now just markers for your grave Watch them all die for you Skin them alive with passion Take all their lives for you Raping the world forever Ignore the cries, ignore the pleas What's good for you is not for them Let them suffer, let them die There's always souls you'll need to save 12. The Comfort Of Cowards
The words of fools
Echo in your head Reverberating...endlessly Beliefs are thicker than blood Tearing us all apart Too many lives, too many dead Solutions of fantasy In an age of truth Abundant yet...impotent Taken as gospel To comfort the cowards And silence the followers No intelligence in your design, Watch your faith start to decline I accept all, but you won't I see clearly, but you don't In a world of flesh and fear Men are dying for their Gods People killing for their Gods The world is crying for your Gods A blindness is upon you One of the unshakable potency Though the sun burns your skin You deny its power and heat Fight free of your possession Or die alone in darkness Will you reach out with final desperation For the soothing lies and comfort of cowards |
