Chaos is calling, the kingdoms are falling
The planets collide in the sky The old ones command, by a curse or by hand That we've come to the end of our times Thoughts paralysed, a red tide will rise Dystopia seen through cephalopod eyes Creatures reborn, from weird tales untold Visions of horror, dimensions unknown to this world Gods are descending, a force unrelenting Cthulhu will rise from the sea Turning blood red and awaking the dead From their aeons of suffering sleep Monoliths rise, to fiery skies Empires dead in the shadow of flies Serpents unwind, to torture and bind No one survives the ultimate fall of mankind Atlantis will rise! The kraken alive! These are fortean times! No sanctuary, no hail Mary, No visionary......can save you from what has begun! Infidels fall to their knees and they start Praying to something that's never been there in their hearts Searing white light from the guardians flesh Azrael rising, wings of the angel of death No sanctuary, no hail Mary, No visionary......can save you from what has begun! This is leviathan! Death of the sun! Age of darkness has won. 02. Stand For Something Lyrics by Ben Ward
How many chances do I get to find redempion?
When I've been low so many times I've hit the bottom far too many times to mention But I've paid for all my crimes Well I know I've done the wrong things But I wanna tell you one thing Cos' you've got to stand for something Or you're gonna fall for nothing What doesn't kill us makes us stronger in the long run And I'm not afraid to die I've been so close to losing everything I cared for But I refuse to lose my mind Well I know I've done the wrong things But I wanna tell you one thing Cos' you've got to stand for something Or you're gonna fall for nothing My only master is the man I see in the mirror He's done me more harm than he knows I know the grass aint always greener on the upside But it's the place that I call home Well I know I've done the wrong things But I wanna tell you one thing Cos' you've got to stand for something Or you're gonna fall for nothing 03. Acid Trial Lyrics by Ben Ward
Set sail on the good ship levitation
Eyes wired shut with fascination Cold blooded silence in the vacuum Astronauts dining in the backroom Words go unspoken and deeds go undone The mark of the devil engraved on the sun Freaks and fanatics all losing their mind No one believed in the world that they've all left behind Further to the east for liberation Falling in line for medication Drug addled comfort in the vacuum Dinosaurs choking in the bathroom Saturn is calling its children back home The eyes of medusa have turned them to stone Predators wait for the breathing to stop Clinging to life til the very last drop Coursing through veins as it cuts to the bone Talking to someone but I'm all alone Weight of the world has me pinned to the floor The doctor don't mind so he's giving me more Ghosts come and go but they don't know my name Something is different yet always the same Brain cannot function and hands cannot feel State of a mind at large, noghing is real Nothing is real Nothing is real Nothing is real Nothing is real 04. The Filthy & The Few Lyrics by Ben Ward
You line 'em up and we'll knock 'em down
You hit the lights and we'll hit the town You're on the dole, we're on the lam Born free to ride, we don't give a damn You live by the law but we live for sin We fight the war but we'll never win We're born to lose but baby that's alright We'll keep on ridin' through the night Back down, the open road The only road we've ever known Step aside cos' we're coming through We are the filty and the few We're hot as hell and you're a stone cold queen You see our faces on your tv screen We got no money, we got no friends We'll keep on ridin' til the livin' end Back down, the open road The only road we've ever known Step aside cos' we're coming through We are the filty and the few 05. Save Me From Myself Lyrics by Ben Ward
I've seen the bodies piled high at the foot of the mountain
Scenic atrocities on a technicolour breeze Midnight assassins swooping down from the clouds of venus They steal my thunder......but the lightning's what I need The sun will burn, the planets turn And I'm always going to be here The ship of dreams ain't what it seems So I'm always going to be here Dead of night, an endless flight And I'm always going to be here Another ride, I may have died But I'm always going to be here I've heard the cries of gods that fell in the fields of asgard I've seen the beasts that roam the worlds beneath the sea I've got a morbid fascination with a faux messiah One they call the saviour, but nobody's saving me The sun will burn, the planets turn And I'm always going to be here The ship of dreams ain't what it seems So I'm always going to be here Dead of night, an endless flight And I'm always going to be here Another ride, I may have died But I'm always going to be here This is an ode to my condition I owe it all to my affliction Prayers go unasnswered and I turn from the sun Demons lead me, into oblivion Oh, wont you save me from myself Come on and save me from myself Oh, wont you save me from myself You've got to save me from myself 06. The Fog Lyrics by Ben Ward
A nameless horror, eye for an eye
An ancient lust for vengeance lies beneath the tide Malefic demons, here comes the night One hundred winters dormant, sworn that six must die A celebration, a ceremony of sin........as the fog rolls in A celebration, a ceremony of sin........as the fog rolls in This witching hour, these sacred shores These shadows cast into the depths for ever more A mist is stirring, the moon is full Sea dogs arise tonight, the golden cross will fall A celebration, a ceremony of sin........as the fog rolls in A celebration, a ceremony of sin........as the fog rolls in Are you prepared for when the end of days arrives? Who's gonna save you when nobody hears your cries? Lock all your windows, turn off all the lights Cos' death is out for you, it's coming here tonight You've got nowhere to run, you've got nowhere to hide A rotting horror creeping slowly with the tide It's gonna hunt you like a pack of hungry dogs No way to stop it, it's coming in the fog I don't believe in fortune, best of luck or bad Or that your riches make you happy or make you sad I don't believe in witches, deities or gods But I believe in death, there's something in the fog There's something in the fog There's something in the fog There's something in the fog There's something in the fog 07. Return To Mars Lyrics by Ben Ward
A warning sign
Leave earth behind Into the stars Return to Mars Depart the planet of the living dead tonight....alright This astral tomb Mankind is doomed Funeral of stars Return to Mars Depart the planet of the living dead tonight....alright 08. Death Of Aquarius Lyrics by Ben Ward
Lights out, silver in the darkness
Shadows of aquarius Fading with the dawn Freedom, banished from utopia Exiled to hysteria A new age is born Night follows day as life flitters away On the quest for the ultimate high Ride for tomorrow, we beg steal or borrow To be where the earth meets the sky Vengeance, religion of the outlaw The honour that you die for The clearing of the mist Martys, the children and the stardust Become one with the universe The order of the fist Carry the burden for chaos and murder The blame always laid at your door You reap what you sow, it's the one law you know When you've chosen to live by the sword Scar them, brand them as the outcasts The faithless and the hopeless, the faceless in the flames Hound them, hound them ever after No gods and no masters, no duties, no shame Lights out, silver in the darkness Shadows of aquarius fading with the dawn Freedom, banised from utopia Exiled to hysteria, a new age is born Vengeance, religion of the outlaw The honour that you die for, the clearing of the mist Martys, the children and the stardust Become one with the universe, the order of the fist Scar them, brand them as the outcasts The faithless and the hopeless, the facelsess in the flames Hound them, hound them ever after No gods and no masters, no duties, no shame 09. The Bishops Wolf Lyrics by Ben Ward
Full moon brooding over the earth
Empty prayer now for what it's worth Band of liars all got something to hide Heading north, all under the eye Skin crawling at the sight of the moon Blood frozen by the reading of runes Paranoia starts to eat at your brain Unholy curse to drive you into the grave Atone for all your sins now Wash away all the pain Make your peace with god now Before you go insane Execration on the heads of the nine Cruel dementia starts to prey on their minds A plague upon them for the wrong they have done A malediction in the light of the sun Atone for all your sins now Wash away all the pain Make your peace with god now Before you go insane Leave the city under cover of night A guilty conscience and a fear of the bite Savage visions in the dark of the trees Hear the howling of the wolf on the breeze Invocation of a suicide pact Book of tongues decreed there's no going back Turn to fire for the ashes you crave Bishop's wolf has led the nine to the grave Atone for all your sins now Wash away all the pain Make your peace with god now Before you go insane 10. A Eulogy For The Damned Lyrics by Ben Ward
Beggars, thieves and lifes downtrodden
Come to me as the king of the damned They hang their actions on my blackened outlook They take their lives by the slight of my hand They bought a ticket to the gates of heaven But all the saints see them coming and they run No chance for reason No hope at all No slight return to grace, but a long, long way to fall A sorry sign of weakness A silly game to play A sad song of what becomes of the souls on judgement day Dead eyes to find you No tales to tell Been lost so long I learnt to hunt by sense of smell Old hands are broken Old veins are torn Cos' we're all dying from the day that we are born We're trying, we're torn We're dying from the day that we were born We're trying, we're torn We're dying from the day that we were born |
