Tracks



01. Be Dead Or Die

Exploding
I am fire
My only purpose is to take you down

There's nothing
That can save you
I'm gonna take your life from you

I give you
Just one option
And that's to fucking die

Your time is
Running out now
You might as well just take your

Life
Or I will end your life
I wanna watch you die
And see death in your eyes
So say your goodbyes
This is the end of the ride
This is the end of the line
So be dead... or die!

[Solo: Parker]

I want you to be dead
Existence erased
Nothing left of you
Not a single trace

Nowhere left to run
Got you in my sights
Now the end is here
Make your final choice
Now be dead or die!

02. Winter Desolation

The shadow's reach grows
And strengthens my desperation
The stars, so faint and gone
No power left to change our path

Reflections start to fade
The passing of every second
Makes me question my faith
Am I damned to walk alone?

Abandoned
Forsaken
Lost in the frozen air
Wait to be
Awakened
From cold despair

Endlessly
I carry through the storm
I search to find my fate
Forever alone

Tears of time are falling
From frozen winter souls
I search to find my fate
Forever alone

The world has turned into ice
But my fire still is burning
And even if I die
I'll chase you down again in death

Embrace these darker days
For light is just an illusion
I've allied with the cold
And found the light within

Too long I've been
In winter desolation
I'm surrounded by frozen, bloody dreams
I won't wither
Away before all these lies
Time has changed me
And now at last I am to change time

[Dual solo]

[Solo: Parker]

Death
Distress
My soul
Won't rest
Embrace
Hate My faith
Won't wait
I'll carry through the storm

Endlessly
I carry through the storm
I search to find my fate
Forever alone

03. Breaking The Madness

Another day
Another chance to watch my universe decay
The shadows of the past claw at me
As time warps my mind
So many questions left with answers still to find
But I will search until I die

The silence breaks
Death is upon me, there's no time to wait
I will not rest
Until I find
The reason for my life

Madness permeates
Into my body and my mind, it starts to break
Bit there is fucking nothing left to take
Nothing to feel
Trapped in the labyrinth, losing sight of what is real
So hard to tell which way to go

Lost in the nightmare, lost in the cold
Who is an ally?
Who is a foe?
This isn't the world I thought I knew
Death and betrayal are that is true

[Solo: Parker]

I know that it is not too late
To make it out of the unknown

I know that I can find a way
To break the madness in my soul

The silence breaks
Death is upon me, there's no time to wait
I will not rest
Until I find
The reason for my life

04. Virus Of The Mind

Here we are at last
Millennia passed
And nothing's changed
At all

They're still in control
A plague upon my soul
It's all so strange
And wrong

A world pushed by fear
Accepts the lies they hear
You are part of their plan
Just puppets in their hands

Time is running out
But if you learn to doubt
Maybe hope remains...

We've run ourselves into the ground
You had your lives to live
Your knowledge you could give
And yet you choose to die
Why?

Infection spreading all around
A virus of the mind
A destroyer of lives
I'm begging to you try
And survive

You ignore the truth
Your mind's are polluted
And you slow progress
There is nothing brave
In accepting insane
Lies without evidence

A world pushed by fear
Accepts the lies they hear
You are part of their plan
Just puppets in their hands

Time is running out
But if you learn to doubt
Maybe hope remains...

[Solo: Parker]

We've run ourselves into the ground
You had your lives to live
Your knowledge you could give
And yet you choose to die
Why?

Infection spreading all around
A virus of the mind
A destroyer of lives
I'm begging to you try
And survive

06. Before Hope Fades

I saw it in dreams
The skies and earth were raging
And I was caught between
When you came

I followed through the night
A captive with no other choice
Soon I'll close my eyes
Forever

I cried out but you weren't there
Stranded hopeless in the depths of my despair

I'm not afraid to die
The siren's song is calling
But I'm not bound and I
Will follow

I've seen the distant shores
And though I know not where you lead
Carry me away
Forever

I cried out but you weren't there
Stranded hopeless in the depths of my despair
But in your shadow I found light
I will make it through this time

The emptiness takes everything
And starts to fade my memories
But if I listen, I still hear
The whisper that's calling all these years
Not afraid to lose my life
Not afraid to sacrifice
I don't care how long it takes
I will die before hope fades

[Solo: Parker]

I cried out but you weren't there
Stranded hopeless in the depths of my despair
But in your shadow I found light
I will make it through this time

07. Into Destiny

Time will come and go
Ancient ones will soon reap what chaos has sown
Shut the eye of faith
Walk comfort of reason's embrace

Stifled and silenced
You have forgotten what your true purpose is
Sadness dwells in me
Waters of death carry me to destiny

Sailing into destiny
Immortal I will be

I've felt the fear of death
The reason for my quest
We'll carry on
We will not die!

"Sailing across
Waters of death
Eternal glory
We will find"

I've seen it in my dreams
The gods are cursing me
And they are warning me
That it is my time

We're gonna take 'em down
Nothing can stop us now
We'll carry on
We will not die

[Solo: Tony]

[Solo: Parker]

Sailing into destiny
Immortal I will be

08. God Of This World

I shall destroy you
And bring you to naught
This is the era of the serpent
Already kindled
Is this fire on Earth
Fight for the world as my servants

Rise!
Rise!

Rise now, god of this world
You shall be most high
Rise now, god of this world
Rise!

[Solo: Parker]

I shall smite the earth with a curse
Enemies to ashes on the soles of my feet
Shedding blood as long as it takes
To cease this engine of grief

All eyes are open to the rights of Man
We will do away
With your artificial scaffolding
And bring forth new day

Here at last we shall be free
The Almighty hath not built here for his envy
Will not strike us hence
Here we may reign secure
And in my choice
To reign is worth ambition through hell

09. My Catharsis

Total darkness
Absolution
Final calling
Revolution

Now you see me
Persecution
Now you're bleeding
Execution

Your death
My catharsis
This will be my sacrifice
(Sacrifice)

[Solo: Parker]

Perpetuating war
Accepting blindness no more
Can't look me in the eyes
'Cause you know I'll be your demise
No light can reach my heart
The shadows have left their mark

You hear me in the night
You're lost and running out of time

[Solo: Parker]

See the madness
Growing stronger
Sunlight fading
Night grow longer

I am reborn
Transformation
Total hatred
No salvation

Your death
My catharsis
This will be my sacrifice
(Sacrifice)

The blazing stars ignite the way
Follow the path and don't be led astray
No longer doubting in my eyes
Now is the hour of my greatest sacrifice

10. Convergence

This is the ending
A battle of gods for the fate of the earth
Death is impending
So offer your soul and discover your worth

Fire and lightning
And ice are colliding on this tragic day
All of the fighting
You'll never be the same

Fly
Fight
Discover
Tonight

That we were meant
For so much more
Reveal the secrets
Open the door

Titans awoken
Burning the skies in the world they clash
Harmony broken
Humanity reduced to nothing but ash

Convergence calling
Storms are begging to brew
Evil wind falling
Our genocide overdue

This is the ending
This is it, can't you see?
No use defending
What will be will be

Everything's changed
As the stars realign
Nothing's the same
As humanity fades and dies

[Solo: Parker]
