Falling to the sand
Smitten by the hand that fed you long ago How the mighty fall Once you stood so tall It gave you vertigo Now the memory of your life is playing out in front of you Life, death, a prisonner of mortality Time flies into the mouth of eternity Crawling in the dirt Reeling from the hurt That just don't go away Longing to be dead The sickness in your head Torments you every day Sorrow is your life Her claws deep into you Life, death, a prisonner of mortality Time flies into the jaws of history Into the heart Into the lungs of God Into the mouth of eternity It's too late to turn back But you can't move on Your life's not over But your life is done Mourning your former life Memory is a knife Whose cut you cannot stand Reckoning the cost Everything you've lost brought on by Your own hand This is the story of your... Life, death, a prisonner of mortality Time flies into the jaws of history Into the heart Into the lungs of God Into the mouth of eternity 02. Cruel Magic
Behold the magus you've
Summoned to serve you Wearing darkness and a swastika smile Imperious power rests in his hands Use it wisely, he's at your command Have no doubt none Can resist his Cruel magic Hear me out before You inflict this cruel magic Once you invoke it someone must pay Heed this voice And the warning it brings you He is in union with spirits most malign Impervious to pity He'll drive on the pain Take him not lightly If you play this game Have no doubt none Can resist his Cruel magic Hear me out before You inflict this cruel magic Once you invoke it someone must pay Witchery from the dark land The cradle of life Name your subject and do as you will with his life Wreak your vengence upon those who have wronged you Trial in absentia, retribution by spell Retribution Cruel magic Retribution Cruel magic Once you invoke it someone must pay 03. The Doomsday Clock
The elders returned a mon to a time
Before we fell Something would have to be changed Eliminiate the maniacs who sent the world to Hell To save us in the present day One final throw Call it cosmic intervention The course of history Will have to be changed We must stop the doomsday clock Before it's too late Grimly optimistic He returned to his own time To find a planet in the grip of fear No less apocalyptic Than the world he'd left behind Deliverance had failed to appear One final throw Call it human intervention The course of history Will have to be changed We must stop the doomsday clock Before it's too late Time after time lord we've tried To keep annihilation at bay To engineer a way to survive Now we stand on the brink of doomsday Time is in the hand of the universe the Hands of the clock point To doomsday again Time is in the hand of the universe the Hands of the clock point To doomsday again One final throw Call it cosmic intervention The course of history Will have to be changed We must stop the doomsday clock Before it's too late 04. Legions Hellbound
The end of the war is in sight and the
World holds its breath About to send a million men Into glory or death The enemy knows we are coming The traps are set Legions facing the sea Legions dauntless are we Legions recklessly hellbound The day of the overlord is now Battalions of eleven nations Are joined in this fight To stand against the power of evil Because it is right Full steam we arrive With the tide and the light Legions wave after wave Legions rifles and blades Legions recklessly hellbound The day of the overlord is now The fire-eyed maid of smoky war Beckons us with her dreadful sound Brothers, as we reach the shore, break Not with faith nor courage now Fear not of pain Nor death Nor loss No more can grieve you If all should end here On the longest day Sword beach and our mettle Is put to the test American blood is running deep In the sand to the west Tooth and nail Painfully onward we press Legions dead in the sand Legions wresting command Legions recklessly hellbound The day of the overlord is now 05. Ophidian
The poison kiss I bring
Men have learned to fear Dread this deadly sting Tremble when I'm near I have nothing but Contempt for the rise of man Slither in the dust Know my name, Ophidian Cursed to live where heaven sent me I put a blight on God's creation Ophidian Though I crawl in the dirt I look down on humans And to Eden my kind shall return I bow to no one I am Ophidian I lie in wait for helpless human mice Consume their essence one by one I grow stronger with every sacrifice So be it til man is gone Ophidian Though we crawl in the dirt We are above humanity And to Eden my kind shall return We bow to no one We are Ophidian I predate man This garden once was mine I will outlast man Ophidian will have it's time The rise of Ophidian The rise of Ophidian The rise of Ophidian The rise of Ophidian 06. My Prophetic Soul
Once I did dream of a ghost and
Betrayal from within I paid no heed. Now my father lies Cold in the sand By his brother's hand Oh my prophetic soul I should have listened to you You chanced to warn me Yet I let it go My prophetic soul She came to me through the dark As a beacon of light I did not see how the demon Inside her grew Though somehow I knew Oh my prophetic soul I should have listened to you You chanced to warn me Yet I let it go My prophetic soul Let the inner truth guide you Your prophetic soul Trust the voice within you Do not doubt it's source Truth from deep within you Use your guiding force Oh my prophetic soul I should have listened to you You chanced to warn me Yet I let it go My prophetic soul Let the inner truth guide you Your prophetic soul 07. Death Knell For A King
Too long you've ruled us with impunity
Corrupt, sadistic, unfit to reign Now we the people Have risen against you in unity To rid this kingdom of your stain The world is baying for your blood You're finished, alone and on the run Heed - a death knell for a king A death kneel for a king No refuge is safe for you Can you hear the death bells ring Many would like to see your head Served on a plate A hollow banquet on which to feed Scant revenge by the state Sill many would gladly do the deed Former comrades will not cry They're lining up to see you die Heed - a death knell for a king A death knell for a king Your downfall you caused it all Hear the death bell ring The hounds are closing in No place to hide Even as we pull your palace down Infernal doom awaits you On the other side A knave turned king Who sold his crown Your crimes of war can't be ignored And now we put you to the sword Heed the death knell Heed the death knell Heed the death knell Heed a death knell for a king No refuge is safe for you Can you hear the death bells ring 08. Who Among Us
They called him a demon
But he was no more than a man And the crimes for Which they censured him Were too much for them to understand So much for forgiveness An open hand, a spirit of grace And the world that he'd built anew Was torn apart and taken away Let him who hath understanding now Occupy this throne And any man who is without sin, let him Cast the first stone Will it be you Will it be me Who among us will cast the first stone The words of Christ must have fallen on Deaf ears and stony ground For his disciples took his wisdom and Twisted it around Will it be you Will it be me Who among us is worthy To cast the first stone Deliver the first stone if you can Deliver the first blow if you be Worthy of your fellow man Who among us could it be An enlightened student of the stars Once tried to show us What he'd learned But men weren't ready for the truth, he Realised as he burned Will it be you Will it be me Who among us is worthy To cast the first stone They called him a demon 09. Ghosts Of Monongah
It was the worst thing the town
Had ever seen One hundred years ago They say the walls of the shaft caved in Trapping men at the seam below A fire began and grew out of control Consuming the air and the walls that Were thick with raw coal Three hundred and seven men Consigned to the flames alive From above they heard it all The agonized dying cries of Monongah The hopeless survivors waited Fearing the dead were the lucky ones As the conflagration neared The men clasped hands And beseeched their God To let it be quick but the end Would come slow Black fire devoured the skin and the Flesh from their bones Three hundred and seven men Consigned to the flames alive From above they heard it all Every agonized dying cries at Monongah A Place of unholy rest Where the dead will not be still A place of unsettled debt Where their spirits haunt that hill It was the worst thing The town had ever known So many dead below They say when the wind blows you can Still hear the screams of woe There are some things That can never be erased Unspeakable suffering has left a reproach on this place Three hundred and seven men Three hundred and seven souls From above they can still be heard The unavenged crying ghosts Of Monongah 10. Mortality
Watching as the brakes
Fail on my existence Leaving control somewhere Back in the distance Rushing feeling Sense of falling Will my feet ever touch the ground Something took me with no warning I know not why or to where I'm bound Mortality Living the life of a fly Hurtling headlong over the ocean Can't seem to arrest This perpetual motion Suddenly flying More than falling But no sense of direction Something pulls me to my calling Like a spirit to ascension Mortality Gone in the blink of a cosmic eye Faster and faster the candle burns low The accelerated flame Is the soonest to go The boy child who wept when he first Learned of death His father's words stayed with him Till his last breath A man looks to the heavens Father can you hear? Please help me to understand Why am I here Mortality Conscious of life speeding by Mortality Make a choice slow down or die Slow down or die Slow down or die In the blink of an eye Slow down or die Mortality |
