Memoriam - For The Fallen lyrics



Tracks



01. Memoriam

How constantly we think of you
With hearts and eyes that fill
The love in life we had for you
In death grows stronger still
Let the winds of time blow softly
Bells toll for all to hear
Gone but not forgotten
Throughout the passing years

02. War Rages On

And so it came to pass
As time rolls by
Once more into battle
No questions why

The final stand
Life comes to an end
The last bastion
As war rages on

You never thought
That it would
End in defeat
Arising from the wreckage
The victory complete

And now you stand
Last remnants of man
This cannot be undone
The war now rages on

So now we rise again
Prepared to die
Another nameless victim
The enemy denied

Denied
War Rages...

03. Reduced To Zero

Reduced to zero
Sum of mankind
Result of centuries
Humanity's demise
Increased by hatred
Fuelled by fear
Intention resolute
The prophecy foretold
The end is near

Look to the future
Erase the past
Create new existence
Better than the last
World free of contempt
Malice cannot infest
Void of hostility
Constructed with respect

Through the wreckage
Of this land
Ripped apart
By our own hands
Annihilation end of man
As the slaughter overran

Now behold what has been done
Mankind's journey is begun
Continuation eternity
Recreation identity

Reduced to zero
Sum of mankind
Result of centuries
Humanity's demise
Increased by hatred
Fuelled by fear
Intention resolute
The prophecy foretold
The end is near

Rising from the flames
No one else to blame
Devastation all we knew
We stand alone surviving few

04. Corrupted System

They lie to you time after time
Helplessly standing in line, comply
Hope what tomorrow may be
Blinded by hypocrisy

Corrupted system

The walls are closing in
Realise you cannot win
Nerves now start to break
Not much more you can take

Vacant stare
Mind impaired
Now ensnared
Deep despair
Now unprepared
For this nightmare

Your masters mass debate
Hopes and dreams annihilate
Watching world decay
Final sacrifice is paid

Corrupted system

Pushed over the edge
Retribution solemn pledge
What will be now shall be
Cannot stop insanity

Vacant stare
Mind impaired
Now ensnared
Deep despair
Running scared
From this nightmare

05. Flatline

Leave this world behind
Never to return
Abandoned mortal shell
Escape this living hell

Free now
Life now ceased
Now in peace
A merciful release

No longer to live
Tortured existence
Death takes you now
Painful persistence
Life fading fast
Lost vital signs
Flatline...

Free now
Life now ceased
Now in peace
A merciful release

Left are those that grieve
Sorrow now released
Mourning life now gone
Spirit still lives on

Free now
Life now ceased
Now in peace
A merciful release

Flatline...

06. Surrounded (By Death)

Amongst the fallen
Consumed by fear
Waiting in silence
Judgement draws ever near

The casualties now grow
As the bloodlust overflows
Still striving to survive
Yet there's no place to hide

No one can hear
Last gasp of breath
Alone to face reality
Surrounded by death

Blood runs cold, soil slips away
Pray to your gods with life you will pay

Now to meet your maker
A construct of hate
Forced down the lonely path
Your final pulse awaits

And now you shall know
The misery bestowed
The life you once had
Is non existent

07. Resistance

Resistance all power denied
Resistance we shall now defy

Call the Oppressed, the Partisan
In defiance, refuse the Masterplan
And we shall seek to undermine
All forms of authority
For now is the time
Now!

Resistance all power denied
Resistance we shall now defy

Systems now under attack
Contention it's time to strike back
Insurrection against their laws
Assertion a war to end all wars

As we speak of horrors now known
To face a new reality
The seeds of hatred sown
Impending conflict a battle we can win
As the force strengthens
Let's resistance begin

Resistance!

08. Last Words

To those I hold dear
If I do not return
Remember with pride
This life we have shared
As bullets sweetly sing
A hymn of sacrifice
Take strength - victory is mine
I am with you
Until the end of time

As whistles blow
No turning back
Bayonets fixed
Primed for attack

Out from the trench
Over the top
Machine gun burst
No time to stop

Have courage my love
Look to stars above
Tell the children I am there
Watching them everywhere
Your tears are falling
Destiny calling
I am prepared
This eulogy declared

Last words

In no mans land
Across the wire
Adrenaline flows
Senses on fire

Into the breach
No final warning
Face in the mud
Reaper now calling

As I face the end
My heart to you I send
Home fire still burning
Your world keeps turning
I bid you farewell
These are my last words...
