Manilla Road - Mark Of The Beast lyrics



Tracks



01. Mark Of The Beast

I've run away almost all my life
I won't run away anymore
The dreams I have they show me now
I must stand and fight this war

The beast he lurches forth
To tear apart my soul
I find myself in wonderment
Looking to the stars

What did I do so wrong?
Was it me this time?
I thought that I was strong
By now I'm crying
In a sea of tears
I'm fighting the mark of the beast

For five years now I've made my way
All around the world
No one knows what I've been through
Satan's wings unfurled

I stand here waiting patiently
I know the time has come
I must now face Darksied
I shall overcome

What did I do so wrong?
Was it me this time?
I thought that I was strong
By now I'm crying
In a sea of tears
I'm fighting the mark of the beast

The reaper he id here for me
He brings the murk of hell
I know now it's my soul he wants
And that I will not sell

Radiant majesties of light
Prepare thyselves my way
My powers I will give to you
To save me on this day

What did I do so wrong?
Was it me this time?
I thought that I was strong
By now I'm crying
In a sea of tears
I'm fighting the mark of the beast

02. Court Of Avalon

The spirit of the ice
Will lead us through this fight for life
Manilla shall be free
From the clone of war they call The Priest

We pray we do not fall
And waste our lives for no avail
The Crystal leads our way
We will live through the second doomsday

Who do you see?
The power of fire in me
I have to use it
I won't abuse it
We must set Manilla free

The emerald towers rise
I seems as though they touch the sky
The Golden bridge of Zor
Sapphire heat that melts the cold

In the court I see
The mighty clone they call The Priest
The battle rages on
In the Court of Avalon

Who do you see?
The power of fire in me
I have to use it
I won't abuse it
We must set Manilla free

We'll carry on
We've got to fight for the son
All my feelings
They send me reeling
Through the Court of Avalon

I knew the time would come
When final justice would be done
The freedom fighters few
Gone trough hell all for you

The city free at last
We've finally shed our turmoiled past
Ice Spirit she sails on
We won the war in the Court of Avalon

Who do you see?
The power of fire in me
I have to use it
I won't abuse it
We must set Manilla free

We'll carry on
We've got to fight for the son
All my feelings
Send me reeling
Through the Court of Avalon

03. Avatar

I'm a warrior
A Centurion
I've traveled oh so far

The mist of glory
Clings to me
My guide a shining star

I've stripped my soul
Of fear and hate
I've fought the lords of war

I will search until
I meet my fate
In the quest of Avatar

The sentinels of Darkside
Are hunting for my heart
They will never defeat me
I shall find the Avatar

My lonely life is filled with blood
I've fought my wars and won
The final wave won't bring me down
My kingdom is to come

For your saving

The powers of the universe
Control me, as it seems
The life that I have held so dear
Means nothing to me now

Jupiter with all his might
I've worshiped from afar
The star above it shines so bright
I've found the Avatar

Will live its fate
I tried
To stop the holy flood
I died
Spilling Darkside's blood

I give my life to you
Avatar it's all insane
All the war and all the pain

04. Dream Sequence

[instrumental]

05. Time Trap

The sciences have brought us to this
A world filled with the damned
A last cold kiss
The radiation contaminated our brains
It seems, it seems to fight
Is all in vain

In this time of disbelief
We've learned to cry
For death to take us away
From this horrible lie
We dream of long ago
And the hole in the sky
With darkness, darkness and cold
We're trapped in time
In a time trap

The sciences have brought us to this
A world of damnation
A cold last kiss
We dream of long ago
And a hole in the sky
With darkness, darkness and cold
We're trapped in time
In a time trap

The darkness prevails
The light goes on
But my eyes they don't see

For now I'm trapped
In time my love
I don't think I'll break away

I can't give any more life myself
I can't live for only life itself
I'm in a time trap

06. Black Lotus

The time is right
This very night
To smite the horde
With fire and sword
I have found the man
Who can fight the damned
Wit the power pure
No hell can endure

With darkness soon
And the rising moon
He will see
All the lotus dreams
Lady of the light
Show this man tonight
What it's like to feel
The dreams become so real

Help me please
I'm on my knees
The lotus freeze
Has got a hold on me

The time is right
This very night
To smite the horde
With fire and sword

Help me please
I'm on my knees
The lotus freeze
Has got a hold on me

Help me please
I'm on my knees
The lotus freeze
Has got a hold on me

07. Teacher

Running through the wastelands of time
I've seen the essence above
A teacher that committed no crime
Who saved us with his own blood

Why don't you believe?
In the god and the man
Is it more than you can perceive?
We're facing Eschaton

What can we tell them?
What do I say?
Except here
Here I am
Forever
In your hands
The Teacher

Wasting away the rest of your life
Drowning in women and wine
Can't you see you're killing time?
You've got to lay it down on the line

Won't you help me believe?
In the good lord above
The answer just came to me
I know it's got to be love

What can we tell them?
What do I say?
Except here
Here I am
Forever
In your hands

Here I am
For the rest of time
In a burning sea

Here I am
I speak no lies
You can believe in me

No use in burning
I know you're yearning
To be free
I'm a teacher
I've got to believe

What can we tell them?
What can I say?
Except here
Here I am
Forever

Here I am
Forever

Here I am
Forever

Here I am
Forever
In your hands

In your hands

08. Aftershock

The earth she quakes
As she masturbates
All for the love of life
Can't we win?
Death immortal sin
No what can I say
It's all too late
To run away
All we do is play
God to our own
Our brothers our sons
They slip away
Through the light of day
I can't seem to stop it anymore
With dissidence and decadence
We make our wars and kill our friends

I'm powermad
Love my Cadillac
Money's all I know
All that I dream
Of in the night
Is my love of light
Darkness is the key
To the mind
We live a lie
So I think I'll cry
And laugh all the way
To the bank
To get my check
Monetary flak
I can't seem to stop my life of decay
I sold my soul for Metal Rock
And now I live my days of Aftershock

I'm powermad
I love my Cadillac
Money's all I know
All that I dream
Of in the night
Is my love of light
Darkness is the key
To the mind
We live a lie
So I think I'll cry
And laugh all the way
To the bank
To get my check
Monetary flak
I can't seem to stop my life of decay
I sold my soul for Metal Rock
And now I live my days of Aftershock
Aftershock

09. Venusian Sea

I traversed through the galaxy
To come to this place
A wild envisioned dream of mine
To live deep in space
A course that I have set myself
I will be strong
For however long it takes
To reach my final destiny
I will be free
And now unto me
Venusian Sea

I've got to it alone
There'll be no help
In the danger zone
I've got to give it my all
Everything that I've lived for
Venus in my dream

I traversed through the galaxy
To come to this place
A wild envisioned dream of mine
To live deep in space
A course that I have set myself
I will be strong
For however long it takes
To reach my final destiny
I will be free
And now unto me
Venusian Sea

Just like a dream
Now I believe
A city beneath
Venusian Sea

What do you see?
What do you care?
Have you found it?
Is it really there?

I your own mind
For the rest of all time
Have you lost all of your pride?
In your life
Venus in my dream

10. Triumvirate

Wasted away
Through both night and day
I was living in a fantasy
Totally lost
Without a cause
But now I'm back to reality

First there were two
Then the infamous three
The master plan is now complete
Metal winds
Are with us again
We found our destiny

Triumvirate
Just the three of us
Against the world
Dust to dust
The Triumvirate
Will live on forever

You don't care
Destroy your mind
Go to war
Genocide

We sailed the river Styx
In our prime
Journeyed north
The mirrors of time
The powerhouse
Lets loose their might

Wasted away
Through both night and day
I was living in a fantasy
Totally lost
Without a cause
But now we've found our destiny

Triumvirate
Just the three of us
Against the world
Dust to dust
The Triumvirate
Will live on forever
It's not the end

Triumvirate
Just the three of us
Against the world
Dust to dust
The Triumvirate
Will live on forever

Tiumvirate
Just the three of us
Against the world

With fire or fury
We sing the song
We've seen the dreams
Of Eschaton
