01. Enter The Asylum

Instrumental

02. God Has Fallen

God lay dead in the heavens
Angels sang the hymn of death
Mighty King had fallen
Their wings were dripping, dripping with tears
That fell upon the Earth
And drowned all men in mournful rain
Looking to the heavens
But God would never rise again

God lay dead in the heavens
Angels sang the hymn of war
Marching into battle
Their swords were dripping, dripping with blood
That fell upon the Earth
And drowned all men in fearful rain
Looking to the heavens
But all they see is death and pain

The lord has shed his crown
His time is over
In blood the world shall drown
For his murder
We pray but all in vain
We pray to a thousand lords
His soldiers march on us
With wings of death

Man's desire
Has cast the earth to drown in fire
The angels spread their wings
With vengeful eyes
Now they're come
To burn the lives of every soul
As you repent
For the life that you stole

God has fallen
And now our time has come
The angels are rising
This war has just begun

God has fallen
And now our time has come
The angels are rising
This war has just begun

The skies of heaven burn
With anger for their king
We've made our final sin
We can't repay
With fire they torch the earth
And turn our lands to ash
No god to save us now
This is the end

03. Leader Of The Titans

Oh, Titan gods
Keepers of the Earth
Is this the end?
Must the world fall down to chaos?

Losing our strength
Beneath the beckoning tides
Of godlings' vein
Unmaking of our children's lives

Unveiling our
Disastrous trial
To tie our will
Like reins upon the sun
Or stand as statues
To the Mighty Heavens?
Must we behold
With the eyes of hopelessness?

Cronus stood mute
And the gods answered all to him
With his brother in silence
Motionless, they appeared
One by one
Enduring of a fallen fane

Their universal wrath
Almighty as it seems
These our betrayers
Pledge our doom

Beneath the shards
And ruins of the world
Were we not
Destined to burn?

Drag down the earth, ourselves
And these our foes
Our surrender to the gods
Why should we stay
And live in tragedy
Of a wretched power that claims us
Claims us all?

"Cronus stood mute
And the gods answered all to him
With his brother in silence
Motionless, they appeared
One by one
Enduring of a fallen fane"

Cronus stood mute
And the gods answered all to him
With his brother in silence
Motionless, they appeared
One by one
Enduring of a fallen fane

Of a fallen fane

04. We Are The Sleep

If wisdom fail me not
A seer misled by omens
And wanting caution wise
She comes, true prophet with tread

Vengeance with hands that bear
The might of unity
She comes, my child
She comes, she comes too soon

She shall also come
For us she comes
The sons of the night
We are, we are

She shall also come
For us she comes
The sons of the night
We are

We are the night's desire
We bring the widows deep
We are the deep desire
We are the sleep

We are the night's desire
We bring the widows deep
We are the deep desire
We are the sleep

And through my scabs so new
Fearing but not of these dreams
That comes with the red of dawn
Will not forget for still

Wrought out in bronze of old
Which laid him low in death (death)
Unless it gains its goal
This vision, vision of the night

She shall also come
For us she comes
The sons of the night
We are, we are

She shall also come
For us she comes
The sons of the night
We are

We are the night's desire
We bring the widows deep
We are the deep desire
We are the sleep

We are the night's desire
We bring the widows deep
We are the deep desire
We are the sleep

She shall also come
For us she comes
The sons of the night
We are, we are

She shall also come
For us she comes
The sons of the night
We are

We are the night's desire
We bring the widows deep
We are the deep desire
We are the sleep

We are the night's desire
We bring the widows deep
We are the deep desire
We are the sleep

05. Innocence Lost

Come forth, my old friend
And set your foot on the land
Have courage, my old friend
For there is always hope

Look up into the sky
The sun is shining still so bright
Look out for the night
I will call the darkness to stand by my side

Raise up your banner
And gather the faithful
From your great hall
Father of the slain

Raise up your banner
And gather the faithful
From your great hall
Father of the slain

From mother's arms
To father's charm
You hold the young sweet child
And drown in its smile
The look in her eyes
The poor innocent child
You see the love she had
The love that she once had

Come forth, my old friend
And set your foot on the land
Have courage, my old friend
For there is always hope

Raise up your banner
And gather the faithful
From your great hall
Father of the slain

Raise up your banner
And gather the faithful
From your great hall
Father of the slain

From mother's arms
To father's charm
You hold the young sweet child
And drown in its smile
The look in her eyes
The poor innocent child
You see the love she had
The love that she once had

06. I Am War

Here I stand on this battlefield of horrors
I smile with ignorance in my eyes
I make you see a brother killing brother
As I raise my hand to salute

I gave them guns
I set the night on fire
I am the only one
My name is war
I gave them guns
I set the night on fire
You will know my name
My name is war

Marching blindly, following their leader
Feeling fear but die with a smile
Running, crawling, dying in this mud
No one will survive from this hell

Dead faces staring at me
Hear my laughter, they will bow to me
Remember, remember my name
As you walk through the flames
I am the last thing you will see

I gave them guns
I set the night on fire
I am the only one
My name is war
I gave them guns
I set the night on fire
You will know my name
My name is war

Yeah

I gave them guns
I set the night on fire
I am the only one
My name is war
I gave them guns
I set the night on fire
You will know my name
My name is war

This war will fuck you dry

07. Monster In Me

By the burning of my candle
In the night I lie awake
And try to drown my bitter thoughts
As my memories, I forsake

They warp their vines around my neck
My blinded eyes now see
The cold dead eyes of those I've killed
Staring back, staring back at me

As the ember of my candle
Fades into the light
My mind awakens in the dark
And plagues the morning night

I feel my life forsake me
For at my hands they fell
And now they've come to take me
And leave me in this hell

And now they've come to take me
And leave me in this hell

The dead are watching me
I can't forget
The horrors of what I've seen
Plagued with regret
Their bodies lying in the snow
The memory haunts me
But I can't, can't let them go
Can't let them go

I burn in the torment of what I have done
And look at the monster that I have become
Haunted by voices, forever in me
I'm never alone, but never I'm free

I burn in the torment of what I have done
And look at the monster that I have become
Haunted by voices, forever in me
I'm never alone, but never I am free

The dead are watching me
I can't forget
The horrors of what I've seen
Plagued with regret
Their bodies lying in the snow
The memory haunts me
But I can't, can't let them go
Can't let them go

I burn in the torment of what I have done
And look at the monster that I have become
Haunted by voices, forever in me
I'm never alone, but never I'm free

I burn in the torment of what I have done
And look at the monster that I have become
Haunted by voices, forever in me
I'm never alone, but never I am free, free

08. Apricity

Instrumental

09. Wrath Of Indra

Out of frost and fire
There was chaos long ago
Mighty King slew the beast
As the Norsemen know

From the rushing blood the ocean
Hear their thunderous cries
From the toilsome remains Indra
Make the underworld rise

Of his hair he shed the forest
Of his skull, the blinding skies
Sculpted from his bones the mountains
Beneath them we all lie

Lo, today, upon my window
Indra carves on every pane
To admonish my skeptic smile
A new world order again

Out of frost and fire
There was chaos long ago
Mighty King slew the beast
As the Norsemen know

Who'll say the gods have left us
Or that the power is lost?
Flash upon my raptured sight
Out of fire and frost

Leader of the gods
Lord of the skies
He brings a storm of heaven's wrath
To heed our cries
A realm awaits our passing
As our empire dies
From the blackened soil of Earth
Underworld shall rise

Leader of the gods
Lord of the skies
He brings a storm of heaven's wrath
To heed our cries
A realm awaits our passing
As our empire dies
From the blackened soil of Earth
Underworld shall rise

10. The Journey

As the story goes, I'm here, stuck in space
And never to see the Earth again
I traveled to an atmosphere
With clouds and acid rain

If the storm arises, it will blind the stars
It could easily melt the flesh from bones
I'm so cold, cold and all alone
How could I forget you all?

Am I ready
To live in a dream?
I just close my eyes
And fall asleep

Born within the clouds of dust
And scattered throughout the galaxies
Perfect result of balance and force
Shall swallow all the visible light

Forged at the center of a massive storm
The temperature just keeps on rising
Hot core at the heart of the voyager
Will one day shine like a star

I will never forget
Who I was
I just close my eyes
And fall asleep

Born within
The clouds of dust
We will one day
Shine like a star

Am I ready
To live in a dream?
I just close my eyes
And fall asleep
I just close my eyes
And fall asleep

Yeah

11. The Forsaken

A thousand scars cover my body
I have felt the chains of the slave
I have seen the anger of man
I have tasted the blade of the dead

A thousand screams haunt my soul
I have carried the burden of guilt
At the mist and darkness of night
We will learn just what to believe

I am the one, the unborn son
I am the one, the second son
You have the one you call your son
But I'm the one, the other son

A thousand souls buried in the sea
My enemies drowned in vain
I have seen the anger of man
I won't sleep until they're all slain

A thousand scars cover my body
A thousand screams haunt my soul
At the mist and darkness of night
I have tasted the blade of the dead

I am the one, the unborn son
I am the one, the second son
You have the one you call your son
But I'm the one, the other son

In my dreams
I am able to sleep
In my dreams
I can still be free
In my dreams
I can feel the wind when I fly
In my dreams
I'm still able to cry

In my kingdom
(My kingdom)
I shall live forever
In my kingdom
(My kingdom)
I shall feel no pain

Oh, God
Why did you choose this to happen?
Am I just another lamb
That needs to be sacrificed?
I tried to live by your rules
And by your laws
And this is
This is how you repay me?

This ain't living
No, but this ain't dying
I just wish
I could still feel something
I only have my dreams
And even in my dreams
There is darkness
Oh, total darkness

If there is a way out
Out from this torment
I hope
You would show me the way
Don't leave me stranded
Please don't leave me stranded
But guide me through

In my dreams
I am able to sleep
In my dreams
I can still be free
In my dreams
I can feel the wind when I fly
In my dreams
I'm still able to die

In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
