1. The Beginning Of The End
2. Rusting The Soul
Life pulls me from eternal sleep
Black now paints the sky
Struggle to find my path
Darkness sent from beyond my sight
My eyes are filled with dust
So useless to me now
And now I know what makes you live,
and what makes you sin
Erase the border-line
of that which keeps you in,
and rust away with me
How can you kill the light of all your dreams?
And which key will you choose between the three?
Desolate, intolerant - your choices mold your fate
Slowly with time your soul begins to rust
Taking breath from lungs of God
Feels chilling to my touch
Burnt wings for no more flight
Coldness comes from the center flame
From death to penetrate
Web spun to decimate
And now I see what makes you live,
and how you can sin
Destroy the border-line
You’re buried deep within
Begin to claw your way
And now I know what makes you live,
and what makes you sin
Erase the border-line
of that which keeps you in,
and rust away with me
Your soul begins to rust, oh can you rust
solo: Pete
And now I know what makes you live,
and what makes you sin
Erase the border-line
of that which keeps you in,
and rust away with me
3. Leading The Strike
Justice a friend to none
All truth that’s told is lies
Eliminate our enemy
Blood will blind their eyes
The truth is told the battles won
Our armies join and strike
Fallen victims, forgotten words
We can’t ignore their cries
Time waits
For no one, for no one
Shadows cast
we are leading the lost souls
For no one, for no one
Shadows dead
We are leading the strike.
Fallen on deaf ears
The words of the prophets scribe
On iced wings the demons fly
To rip our world from life
Through the flames we hear our screams
The screams of the pain we’ve known
Judgment day the final call
To leave this world alone
Time waits
For no one, for no one
Shadows cast
we are leading the lost souls
For no one, for no one
Shadows dead
We are leading the strike.
How can we stop our demise
When the web we spin holds us inside
How can we see through their eyes
With the bloodshed we learned to despise
With the bloodshed we lead the strike
With your bloodshed we lead the strike
solos: Pete
How can we stop our demise
When the web we spin holds us inside
How can we see through their eyes
With the bloodshed we learned to despise
With the bloodshed we lead the strike
With your bloodshed we lead the strike
4. Inside
I’ve been crucified for sins
No memory of where I’ve been
All that’s left is these wounds
I cannot see through this stain of mine
Trapped by these chains - cannot see, cannot feel
Frozen by fear, is this pain it can’t be real
I claw for the light but all the strength I have is gone
I need not to heal
Struggle, I see my time is fading
Where can I hide my shame
What can I do to resist these fears I have
Inside of me
solo: Steve
The castle crumbles before my eyes
My only memory now deprived
All agony will just take it’s time
I cannot see through this stain of mine
Cannot speak, cannot feel
Life and dream do not seem real
All that’s left is this wound inside of me
Struggle, I see my time is fading
Where can I hide my shame
What can I do to resist these fears I have
Inside of me
Time has taken all
Left inside of me
Time has taken all
What’s left inside of me
Swallowed - Into this world we are swallowed
Gradually burning on with time
Forced to see through two dark eyes
The pressure has crushed my soul
solo: Steve
Struggle, I see my time is fading
Where can I hide my shame
What can I do to resist these fears I have
Inside of me
Time has taken all
Left inside of me
Time has taken all
5. New God
Lasting through bloodshed frozen still
New world order through blood we spill
Hell’s violent voice hear screams so loud
Cleansing fire forms death drawn cloud
World - her loss
Sighting war brought decay
Death - their loss
Ripping forth brought decay
Infected existence so purified
God seen honor through angel’s eyes
Mission genocide tears across our home
Clear skies gone gray thousands dead we mourn
World - her loss
Sighting war brought decay
Death - their loss
Ripping forth brought decay
Lies
Destroy no remorse
Religious holocaust
Time
Speed to demise
Consumed by fear you hide
Now
Revenge has been sought
Mass genocide will reign
The new god is dead
solo: Pete
Full god war raging now hell is here
Armageddon certain death now clear
Eve of destruction it’s time to die
For god you fought, for god we died
World - her loss
Sighting war brought decay
Death - their loss
Ripping forth brought decay
Lies
Destroy no remorse
Religious holocaust
Time
Speed to demise
Consumed by fear you hide
Now
Revenge has been sought
Mass genocide will reign
The new god is dead
solo: Pete
6. 1981
7. Disciples Of Fire
Raised inside the circle - infanticide
Live through lies of scorn
Taught to teach the liar’s prospect
Leave this world alone
Blind eyes leading
The pack of sheep to flock
Who is your savior where has he gone
He’s fallen into fire
Betrayed by ones you trusted
See the weakened fall
Take the time to see through
Eyes of blackened gods
Blind eyes leading
The pack of sheep to flock
Who is your savior where has he gone
He’s fallen into fire
Taught to resist the flames
Not to embrace the pain which they hold
Some say never die
See through the prophets lie few will know
Stripped of the linen
The flames peel his skin
Lies he’s been force-fed
Now he smells revenge
solo: Steve
Terror fills his eyes
Underneath - burn with me
Held against the sky
Underneath - burn with me
Disciples of fire - learn to love the dead
Disciples of fire - scarred by heaven’s chains
Taught to resist the flames
Not to embrace the pain which they hold
Some say never die
See through the prophets lie few will know
Stripped of the linen
The flames peel his skin
Lies he’s been force-fed
Now he smells revenge
lead: Steve
solo: Kevin McCurley
Taught to resist the flames
Not to embrace the pain which they hold
Some say never die
See through the prophets lie few will know
Stripped of the linen
The flames peel his skin
Lies he’s been force-fed
Now he smells revenge
8. Angels Die
When he died passing from you
Inconversant freeing loss
Like his soul painted fucking gray
Dead to their world
Close my eyes, crystal view
The life of which reality kills
Cleanse my heart, purify
As I wait the sun begins to die
...In abstracted time angels die
The ninth month the source of rebirth
Autonomous paths well worn from truth
Clouded heart, intensified flame
Breeds new life
Close my eyes, crystal view
The life of which reality kills
Cleanse my heart, purify
As I wait the angles all will die
...In abstracted time angels die
solo: Pete
Angels die
with abstracted time and hollowed lines
Angels die
with abstracted time and hollowed lines
Angels die
lead: Steve
9. Legends Of War
Time for you to fight
Time for you to die
Another wasted renegade
Another burned out light
Backed into the cold
Laws are bought and sold
Profit from the anarchy
Dying for what you are told
Chains that hold you down
Dwellers underground
No more walls to hide behind
The time to act is now
Backed into the corner
Kicked down to the floor
Those words that brought us peace
Now they bring us war
Lost - too many lives
Tears - of justice cried
Now - now this won’t end
Saved for all your sins
Who, who cares less wins
Sell, you sell our souls again
These legends of war
Death is at the door
Faith is no more
You do it everyday
You take our souls away
You do it everyday
You take our souls
These legends of war
Death is at the door
Faith is no more
Time for you to fight
Time for you to die
Another wasted renegade
Another burned out light
Backed into the cold
Laws are bought and sold
Profit from the anarchy
Dying for what you are told
Chains that hold you down
Dwellers underground
No more walls to hide behind
The time to act is now
Backed into the corner
Kicked down to the floor
Those words that brought us peace
Now they bring us war
Lost - too many lives
Tears - of justice cried
Now - now this won’t end
Saved for all your sins
Who, who cares less wins
Sell, you sell our souls again
These legends of war
Death is at the door
Faith is no more
10. Faded Glory
Fight the enemy
The one inside your mind
Forced to live in fear
From the voice that haunts inside
Lies you told as truth
You tried to bring us order
Now the page has turned
And now the lines pushed forward
You never told us anything
You never showed us everything
No glory without honor
No glory without power
solo: Pete
Black falls on the world
To cover it’s afflictions
Eyes too blind to see
Humanity through their convictions
Souls too weak to save
Condemned to burn in vein
Watch false prophets rise
To burn the world again
You never told us anything
You never showed us everything
No glory without honor
No glory without power
solos: Pete
Time has slipped away
And now you hang your head
The crown you once wore
Has turned to thorns and stained with death
Now fall on your knees
And to your god you pray
Justice carries you
Of to hell, it’s judgment day
You never told us anything
You never showed us everything
11. Among The Legacy
World leader’s deceit
Through blood we see
This fire screams like angry gods
Die crawling on your knees
Swallowed - by true demise
Suffocating - on crafted lies
Now this land will strike
You know where I will stand
Among the legacy
Victims wonder just went wrong
Beckoning to faceless gods
This woven dream gone wrong
Taken - by wings of death
Gasping for life - on toxic breath
Now this land will strike
You know where we will stand
Among the legacy
Take this life
On my wings we rise
Above the sky
To see the end of times
solos: Pete
On to their death they march
Natives line up in fear
Nevermore will their eyes see life again
Who will drown first in red tears
12. Electric Eye (Judas Priest cover)
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
Protected. Detective. Electric eye.
13. Throne Of Dirt
lead: Steve
acoustic solo: Steve
solo: Pete
Another way to take
Another way I take control
Again the dawn breaks
Injected demon holds
Drained of life you fall
Drawn face emotionless hollow
Drained of life you crawl
I am need now follow
Addiction path - realize
Throne of dirt - finalize
(lead: Steve)
Twisting fate reinstate
I aggravate your will too late
Realize, finalize
False demon god immortalized
What I have left is the last demon’s call
Gathered by my hands I wait for the fall
Make me bleed
Drain god from me
Make me see
The sickness drains from me
(My throne of dirt)
What you hold, what I need
Bleeding soul the martyr feeds
Your last breath slipping fast
It‘s time to taste your death

What you hold, what I need
Bleeding soul the martyr feeds
Your last breath slipping fast
It‘s time to taste your death
(My throne of dirt)

Shifting through bloodlines
Tear your veins the toxins grip
Visions of demise
Welcome your final trip
Greeting death draws near
Self inflict numbing darkness
Greeting death no fear
Intravenous god no rest
Addiction path - realize
Throne of dirt - finalize
(lead: Steve)
Twisting fate reinstate
I aggravate your will too late
Realize, finalize
False demon god immortalized
What I have left is the last demon’s call
Gathered by my hands I wait for the fall

Drain god from me
Make me see
The sickness drains from me
(My throne of dirt)
What you hold, what I need
Bleeding soul the martyr feeds

This throne I’m left
His death was life
Death shapes his veins

Your last breath slipping fast
It‘s time to taste your death
