De fumo in flammyam
Tempore nihil sanat Noli ignoscere Noli oblivisci Odire humanom est (Translation from Latin to English: The smoke of the fire Time heals nothing Do not ignore Do not forget Hate is human) 02. Never Forgive, Never Forget Music by Michael Amott, Nick Cordle Lyrics by Michael Amott
See the wolf in sheep's skin, waiting in the shadows
Watching learning...too bad I did not recognize The dark undertow, pulling you away We've been infiltrated, in fact violated, carefully orchestrated Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive Hate spreads internal, in this black heart of mine Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive You swallowed the lies, in a search for inner peace With open ears and eyes, could you not feel? The dark undertow Pulling you down You've been infiltrated, in fact violated, ultimately desecrated Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive Hate spreads internal, in this black heart of mine Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive, never forget Never ever When the dust has settled I'll watch you drown, drown, drown in your regret The dark undertow, pulling you away We've been infiltrated, in fact violated, carefully orchestrated Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive, never forget, never ever 03. War Eternal Music by Michael Amott, Nick Cordle Lyrics by Michael Amott
Friend or foe, there's no way to know
In the battlefield of life it's kill or be killed So many times it's a matter of degrees From being up on your luck to down on your knees It's a hellish inferno This is war eternal They try to change you, crush and break you! Try to tell you what to do They love to have control of you Back against the wall In danger of losing it all Search deep inside Remember who you are It's times like these when lines are drawn Which side of the fence are you standing on? There will come one day not so far away When the hunter becomes the prey (and you will pay) It's a hellish inferno This is war eternal They try to change you, crush and break you! Try to tell you what to do They love to have control of you Back against the wall In danger of losing it all Search deep inside Remember who you are This is fucking war! They try to change you, crush and break you! Try to tell you what to do They love to have control of you Back against the wall In danger of losing it all Search deep inside Remember who you are 04. As The Pages Burn Music by Michael Amott Lyrics by Alissa White-Gluz
As the pages burn
Secrets can't be unlearned Silence can't be unheard Knowledge is burden, power is onus As the pages burn Your memories fade Freed from the grip of reality Rejecting Cognition...As the pages turn Sinking in a pool of ether The past is washed clean Rip apart the world Word by word Inch by inch Sever your timeline Silence your conscience Sweet amnesia, here to free you As the pages burn All your trials, solved by fire As the pages burn As smoke fills the room Soon to pass...heavy gloom The wind will whisk away the past A blank page stares at you Nothing left, where to start? A second chance carries expectation The books you'd written no longer exist The future is in your pen-Ink to paper now begin Rip apart the world Word by word Inch by inch Sever your timeline Silence your conscience Sweet amnesia, here to free you As the pages burn All your trials Solved by fire As the pages burn Rewriting history, starting now Erase the misery...Let the flames eat your doubts... Sweet amnesia, here to free you As the pages burn All your trials, solved by fire As the pages burn (War, war, war...) 05. No More Regrets Music by Michael Amott, Nick Cordle Lyrics by Alissa White-Gluz
You chose your path
Don't shift the blame You ran your course You lost sight of your aim Wrong choices linger Like scars remain Long after the bleeding stops There's nowhere left to hide from the shame Never again No! No more regrets What's done is done - can't be erased Know, know your regrets... savor the bitter aftertaste The crippling guilt, how heavy it can be When searching for the right words Hoping the truth will bring you peace A lesson learned is good company For the lonely road you walk Each step forward - agony Never again No! No more regrets What's done is done - can't be erased Know, Know your regrets...savor the bitter aftertaste It's hard to breathe Thought process crushing me Purge mistakes! Strip the mind of its dignity Liar Liar Never again No, no more regrets What's done is done can't be erased Know, know your regrets, savor the bitter aftertaste No more, What's done is done can't be erased All I know is but regret I can't shake this bitter aftertaste 06. You Will Know My Name Music by Michael Amott, Nick Cordle Lyrics by Michael Amott
The judging eyes, watching me
Is all I've ever known When i try to open up my heart I am ridiculed and torn apart You tell jokes I'll never get to hear Behind my back, at my expense There's something inside me And I know it's good I'm not evil, just misunderstood Do you see me now? Do you hear me now? You will know my name Do you see me now? Do you fear me now? You will know my name Today i break my silence... Strip you of your dignity Tear down your perfect world Your perfect lies No more jokes I'll never get to hear Behind my back, at my expense There's something inside me And i know it's good I'm not evil, just misunderstood Do you see me now? Do you hear me now? You will know my name Do you see me now? Do you fear me now? You will know my name No longer Invisible You will know my name Do you see me now? Do you hear me now? You will know my name Do you see me now? Do you fear me now? You will know my name No longer Invisible You will know my name 07. Graveyard Of Dreams Music by Daniel Erlandsson, Michael Amott

08. Stolen Life Music & lyrics by Michael Amott
Everything so clear now
It's written on your face In a world within a world I can smell the bridges burn Sharks ever circling They never go away In these dark, murky waters So hard to navigate and so easy to hate Paint me black, demonize me, this is how you pay me back? Do you ever really know someone until you look away? Misplaced my trust, only to learn...honesty is just a word This is a stolen life Before you walk away Don't forget to turn the knife What's next, more betrayal? Have I not suffered enough? You made me feel so alive Now you're just killing me, killing me Paint me black, demonize me, this is how you pay me back? Do you ever really know someone until you look away? Misplaced my trust, only to learn honesty is just a word This is a stolen life Before you walk away Don't forget to turn the knife This is a stolen life Carve away the rotten flesh It's time to burn Strip away the dirty lies Expose the ugly truth... Do you ever really know someone until you look away? Misplaced my trust, only to learn honesty is just a word 09. Time Is Black Music by Michael Amott, Daniel Erlandsson Lyrics by Alissa White-Gluz
From a distance, the truth is so obvious
Answers are all so clear Logic stays at arm's length When engulfed in the present, here Desperation draws near... If I could pull the fabric of time And bring the future near The answers wouldn't be so far The truth would be so clear Time is black, time is black And nothing will escape Nothing will remain Nothing From a distance time is black Tangible and dense With each rotation a new day passed And past, at last, makes sense There where past obstacles seem Just pebbles on your path Always just a step ahead The peace I hope to catch Time is black, time is black And nothing will escape Nothing will remain Nothing Time is black, time is black And nothing will escape Nothing will remain Nothing 10. On And On Music by Michael Amott, Nick Cordle Lyrics by Alissa White-Gluz
We walk through war in the halls
Of dead protocols We came so close, demands were met That's when the rug was ripped out from under our feet A vicious crime...cold betrayal and deceit Then reality hits you like a stab in the back Like a slap in the face, a premeditated attack On and on The battle knows no victory On and on Weapons high - Reject defeat Decrepit smiles shine like fire Lying through their teeth It's a memory you want to forget From one second to another the whole world went under The future cuts so deep tangibility bleeds Then reality hits you like a stab in the back Like a slap in the face, a premeditated attack On and on The battle knows no victory On and on Weapons high, Reject defeat On and on! Until the victory is dead and gone On and on! Kill the history, the wrong side won On, on and on On, on and on On and on, the battle knows no victory On and on, weapons high, history repeat The battle knows no victory, weapons high, Reject defeat Don't let the history repeat... 11. Avalanche Music by Michael Amott, Nick Cordle, Daniel Erlandsson Lyrics by Alissa White-Gluz
A fistful of fear in my hands
A bullet of betrayal in my brain No progress comes from pleasure We smile in ignorance and learn in pain Willful deceit was your plan Desperately avoid the blame Who will you answer to now? Sharpened your shovels Just to dig your grave Stand up because the ground is in your way I won't give you any peace Yet still you talk Try to fight but I will watch you fall Fall This is sweet revenge And karma's a bitch You glutton for punishment What did you expect? Sick, sick, sick I'm sick of being your martyr Your inflated ego is just dead weight Bask in all the eyes upon you Before you know it They'll have turned away Stand up as the whole world turns away I won't give you any peace Yet still you talk Try to fight but I will watch you fall Fall This is sweet revenge And karma's a bitch You glutton for punishment What did you expect? Wait and see Cry yourself a lonesome creek Your decaying corpse Can feed the roots Of my towering free Just wait and see You're dead to me Yet still you speak Trying to justify what you're doing to me I will watch you fall Fall This is sweet revenge And karma's a bitch You glutton for punishment What did you What did you expect? 12. Down To Nothing Music by Michael Amott, Nick Cordle Lyrics by Michael Amott
The light dwindles down to nothing
As the candle sputters out Just beyond the ebb and flow Of a dark and restless heart Alone again Facing the demons In this hell Of my own making I will not let this moment Define who I am Now you see me Now you don't I am strong, eternal Now you see me Now you don't Licking the wounds now I shelter in the melody My ink runs from black to red Screaming into the void Alone again Facing the demons In this hell Of my own making I will not let this moment Define who I am Now you see me Now you don't I am strong, eternal Now you see me Now you don't Seemingly endless Like the wind, the stormy seas I held the poison, I had the power I will return Seemingly endless Like the wind, the stormy seas I held the poison, I had the power I will return 13. Not Long For This World Music by Michael Amott
