Tracks



01. The Day I Die

Lost in this lightless haze
I've wandered here for days
Trying to voice my silent scream
Nothing can bring it out
I've tried to call and shout
But I can't wake up from this dream

So I'll leave today
Never to return
You are the one I love
I will remember you
On the day I die

The world and I are blank
I can't find my way back
I'm disembodied
I can't feel
The only thing that's there
Is desolate despair
That's how I know that this is real

So I'll leave today
Never to return
You are the one I love
I will remember you
On the day I die

Read my words
Find the door
Open wide
I want you to find me

See the truth
See my hands
See my face
You can't deny me

To whom it may concern
It's hard to find the words
For what I am about to do

You probably won't cry
Even when you know why
And in the end it's all for you

So I'll leave today
Never to return

You are the one I love
I will remember you
On the day I die

02. The Nightwitch

The night witch lives alone outside of town
You can hear her calling children in the night
And when their parents wake
They find their children gone in the light

The night witch lives alone outside of town
Her castle is a nightmare carved from stone
She sings a siren song at night
And lures the children far from their homes

Hush my precious children
Lock your windows tight
Beware the song of the witch in the night

Locked away they're never seen again
They sleep for years slowly growing old
And when their youth has died away
She leaves their bodies out in the cold

Hush don't break the silence
Lock your windows tight
Beware the song of the witch in the night

The sounds of mourning cries will terrify
They echo 'cross the land through every tow
Their tears of could fill an endless sea
In them their parents drown

Hush my precious children
Lock your windows tight
Beware the song of the witch in the night

03. Kill That Bitch

We've known each other for a few short years
But seeing you with her brings me to tears
I know we both made a painful choice
But listen to the sincerity in my voice

I've come up with a plan that we can use
Perfectly logical and nothing to lose
There's only one possibility
You've got to kill that bitch and run away with me

You know I'm the one that you adore
I've got more cojones than that whore
I'm not asking you to go on a crime spree
Just this once kill that bitch for me
Just this once kill that bitch for me

She won't see it coming if done right
We could make it out of town tonight
I've got a few trash bags we can use
Just try not to get the plan confused

We've always talked about running away
We never thought we'd ever see the day
And if tonight we can make it to Vegas
We could get Alice Cooper to marry us

So bury her behind the Pizza Hut
You know I'm better than that slut
We'll always love each other right baby
Hurry up, kill that bitch for me

Kill her, kill her
Kill her, kill her
Kill her, kill her
Kill her, kill her

You know you wanna
Kill her, kill her
Just do it for me
Kill her, kill her
Kill her, kill her

You know I'm the one that you adore
I've got more cojones than that whore
We'll always love each other right baby
Just this once kill that bitch for me
Just this once kill that bitch for me
Just this once
Kill her, kill her

04. Murderous Horde

The sun is setting slowly
The dark consumes the light
Mankind is sleeping sweetly
They won't last through the night

They think themselves so righteous
They do not think we're real
But they'll believe the stories
When we make them scream, squeal

Throngs of your death await you now beneath your feet
We see you for what you are; weak pathetic meat
You don't comprehend the strength, the power in our claws
Mankind's cries silenced in between our mighty jaws

Murderous horde

Tunnels vast and complex
They spread throughout the land
Consuming every creature
It's all part of the plan

Blood as black as entrails
Bones all picked white clean
We'll eat the flesh of all things
Rabid killing machines

Throngs of your death await you now beneath your feet
We see you for what you are; weak pathetic meat
You can't comprehend the strength, the power in our claws
Mankind's cries silenced in between our mighty jaws

Murderous horde

Fear our massive numbers
Creatures great and small
Screaming out for mercy
We'll eat you where you fall

Plotting our succession
Tearing, piercing flesh
Man and woman no one's safe
From bloody putrid breath

Battle whets my hunger
Black and unignored
Bloodlust pushes further
It feeds a vicious horde

Drums of death await you down beneath your feet
We see you for what you are; weak pathetic meat
You can't comprehend the strength, the power in our claws
Mankind's cries silenced in between our mighty jaws

05. A Sound of Thunder

When the legacy began
We went faith swords in hand
To command the exultation
Of hell's greatest creation

We fought the battles
With the fury of the damned

Fighting demons and wizards
Through deserts oceans and blizzards
Dragon's blood burned the mountainside
The beasts had nowhere to hide

The battles won
We would dance upon their graves

We bow before the fury of the gods
Unbelievers torn asunder
Legendary tales, from hell's heart we hail
Bringing a sound of thunder

Upon the Sabbath men of war
To save the Maiden, this we swore
An endless violent endeavor
Blessed by the Priest we'll fight forever

We bow before the fury of the gods
Unbelievers torn asunder
Legendary tales, from hell's heart we hail
Bringing a sound of thunder

06. Out Of The Darkness

Tracing the night, demons dance around
An army of one, a mortal never found
Left all alone to fight the living dead
Losing control, trying to stay ahead

Don't be fooled by the look in their eye

Look through the mist the storm is coming near
A lone flash of light the faces reappear
The cold kiss of death will bring eternal life
Betrayed by the world, cut by a broken knife

It's only a heartbeat away
You'll have no more reason to stay

The time will come to break away from here
Defend your heart, your place, you'll never fear
The clash of truth and lies that bring you down
One step to the edge brings you closer to the ground

Out of the darkness the lost souls will run
Mortal survivors all turn to the sun
If you look back it could be your last time
The punishment will fit the crime

Temptation lurks, unseen energy
The lust of the eye, ageless synergy
Nowhere to run, no time to be afraid
Is this the end, is this a masquerade

Is it too late to turn back the time

Voices are clear, calls from far away
Forces collide, one clean getaway
Break of the dawn leaves you all alone
The story is dead, the ending never known

What you don't understand you will find
Is a place you should leave far behind

The time has come to break away from here
Defend your heart, your place, you'll never fear
The clash of truth and lies that took you down
Scatters like ashes over some unsacred ground

Out of the darkness the lost souls will run
Mortal survivors all turn to the sun
If you look back it could be your last time
The punishment will fit the crime

The time will come to break away from here
Defend your heart, your place, you'll never fear
The clash of truth and lies that bring you down
One step to the edge brings you closer to the ground

Out of the darkness the lost souls will run
Mortal survivors all turn to the sun
If you look back it will be your last time
The punishment will fit the crime

07. Calat Alhambra

In the year of 1492 at the zenith of her reign
Isabella and Ferdinand would unite beloved Spain
They battled through Granada and captured Muhammad
Clad in steel the Castilian queen led her army in the name of God

Through ten long years she warred with them
And took it piece by piece
Granada fell first at her sword
Followed by the whole south east

She made her men kneel down in prayer
Upon the battlefield
She called forth God's protection
Blessing every Spanish shield

Fernández de Oviedo dijo
Para a lo it a la hablar, era divino

Emerged from royal blood
A vicious queen who reigned with steel
Warring in the name of God
Isabella de Castile

She led her men through every fight
Dauntless was her will
She ended la Reconquista
Her destiny fulfilled

Ella conquistó la tierra con la espada en la mano
Su valor se demostró

Emerged from royal blood
A vicious queen who reigned with steel
Warring in the name of God
Isabella de Castile

The Nasrid dynasty was gone
She burned it to the ground
Isabella's royal psalms
A sweet and bloody sound

Amidst the triumph of her rule
None denied her wrath
The screams of thousands led her way
Their bodies paved her path

La gente elogió su reina
Para ella era una santa

Emerged from royal blood
A vicious queen who reigned with steel
Warring in the name of God
Isabella de Castile

08. Fight Until The End

Walking the desert
Deep in the sun
Third degree bums and
Nowhere to run

Break through the barrier
Of the human will
Don't let fate guide your hand
It's begging for the kill

Brace yourself against the agony
Battle through the pain
Use the will to survive
You will rise again

Sailing the ocean
The weather is bad
You have no say
If Neptune is mad

Your weakness calls for you
He's begging to be heard
Don't let him pull you through
Just ignore his words

Brace yourself against the agony
Battle through the pain
Use the will to survive
You will rise again
Don't surrender to the fear
You have much to defend
Bare your fists, challenge fate
Fight until the end

Though the fire bakes your flesh
And drains you of your mind
Face the world with open eyes
And never go blind

Fighting the lions
Proving your worth
Defending the value
Of your own birth

Break through the barrier
Of the human will
Don't let fate guide your hand
Ifs begging for the kill

Brace yourself against the agony
Battle through the pain
Use the will to survive
You will rise again
Don't surrender to the fear
You have much to defend
Bare your fists, challenge fate
Fight until the end

09. This Too Shall Pass

Time will take its toll once again
Silent cries of fate will never end
Hungry souls walk free but stand alone
All alone

Sing some ancient song, truth or lie
Worship good or evil but don't ask why
Hopes and dreams are shattered like broken glass
But don't you forget this too shall pass
This too shall pass

Lurking in cold shadows, tortured ones
Scared to show their faces to the sun
They jump out from the darkness to find their homes
Only to realize that home is gone
Home is gone for good this time

Born to fly so high
Thrown down by stormy skies
Pray for gentle winds
To tame this killing tide once again

Longing deep inside
Look around with hungry eyes
Change will come at last
But just like before this too shall pass

10. Discovery

I hear the sound of quiet voices coming nearer
They're telling me that I can never stay
The shades of light above my head are shining clearer
I'm capturing the spirit of the day

This day
Take me away
This long forgotten day
Freedom fighter
Rise up and conquer
Now or never
Alive once again

Discovery
Hold the diamonds of life in your hands
Just don't cast them away
Discovery
Hear the calling of distant lands
But there's a price you must pay
Discovery
Cast away those ancient fears
Discover your time

I see the rivers of your ancient lands flowing
Clouds create imaginary sights
No crooked hands are reaching up to buy the heavens
The mountains rise to catch the early light

The morning light
Shining bright
The miracle of light
Snow and rain
Seasons change
Freedom range
Smiling back again

Discovery
Hold the promise of life in your hands
Just don't cast it away
Discovery
Live the dream of a world without end
There's no price to pay
Discovery
There's no reason to live in fear
Fate will never call

Hear the cries
Broken ties
Calling loud
Walking proud

Seeds of change
Can't rearrange
Lost in time
Forgotten sign

Gone away
No price to pay
Warrior's eye
Must never die
