1. Zeroed
Zeroed
Singled out - Vision becoming clear
Now in focus - Judgement draws ever near
At the point - Within the sight
Pull the trigger - One taken life
Vindicated - Far beyond all crime
Instigated - Religions so sublime
All the hatred - Nothing divine
Reduced to zero - The sum of mankind
Untold suffering
Of forgotten wars
One more statistic
The world ignores
Another victim
Within sight
With no profit
One more taken life
No truth - No justice
All false belief
Blinded by mortality
There shall be... no peace
No peace
2. Laid To Waste
Laid To Waste
Collected thoughts
Never forget
The final hour
Now is set
Paranoia
In you cold soul
Man's requiem
In silence told
Sacrificed - The fallen lie
All areas - Now pacified
As they are - We shall become
The glory of... another battle won
The long dark path - Journey on
May lose the war - This day is done
Await tomorrow - Foretold destiny
Withdraw the veil - Friend or enemy
Constructed
Too much haste
All is now
Laid to waste
Unchained
Sanity's unsafe
All is now
Laid to waste
Constructed
Too much haste
All is now
Laid to waste
Sences recaptured - Tortured knowledge
Laid to waste
3. Return From Chaos
Return From Chaos
Remembrance
Sanity's surreal
Boundaries blurred
The turning wheel
Perspectives
Of equal might
Engage in battle
None is right
Centuries... of hatred
Return... from chaos
Feel the force
Destroy the will
Mankind tastes
This bitter pill
Now converging
Freedom cried
Unconnected
Millions died
Lifetime... of darkness
Return... from chaos
Not fallen prey
Nothing will overcome
With the banner held high
Let the chaos overrun
4. Mercenary
Mercenary
Into the killing zone
Prepared to die
Fearful technology
Faceless mercenary
Merchant of war
With no conscience
Darkness all you see
Dying hard your believe
Mercenary...
Mercenary...
Purchased soul
To the highest price
No thoughts of anguish
Cheapness of life
Freelance veteran
Ask no forgiveness
No tears, no regrets
Mission completed
Mercenary...
Mercenary...
Forget the past - For all you see
Self-created destiny
No innocence - The world bleeds
Now march onward - Mercenary
5. To The Last
To The Last...
Resolute - To the last
Leave no trace - No epitaph
Far beyond - Known territory
Throughout - Times infinity
All now gone - Turned to dust
Instinct survival - None to trust
Fragmented - Lost identity
Non-existence - Reality
To the last...
Superior - Conflict strategy
Ultimate - War machine rolls on
Technology - Totally outclassed
Casualties near total - To the last
A lone survivor
The outcast
All is lost
6. Powder Burns
Powder Burns
Injected
Straight to the core
C.N. system bypassed
Ready for war
Targets now hostile
Pushed to the edge
These colours have borne - No retreat
Honour the pledge
Try to run - You cannot hide
Thoughts that cannot be denied
Pain that never goes away
...The powder burns
Onward
No compromise
Proceeding ritual
Fear denied
Hopped up on dreamdust
Burns in the brain
Psychological technique
Invincible - No pain
Try to run - You cannot hide
Thoughts that cannot be denied
Pain that never goes away
Powder - Burns
7. Behind Enemy Lines
Behind Enemy Lines
Behind the lines
Concealed
Deconstructed truth
Revealed
Clear from all known danger
Hostility deplored
Ignorance the principal
Unknown wars
Now beneath
Electrical skies
Artilleries
Uneartly cry
Devastating power
Cynically imposed
Futile resistance
Savagely dispose
No expectations
Courage of despair
Annihilated wisdom
Belligerence declared
It's all illusion
Life's tragedy
No comprehension
Beyond infinity
8. No Guts, No Glory
No Guts, No Glory
All senses
Under attack
Oblivion
Penultimate
Anticipation
Fills your soul
At the limit
Beyond control
The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory
Retaliation
Sequencially inclined
No guts, no glory
You decide
The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory
Swallow no pride, strength from inside
Still driving on, second to none
The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory
The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory
9. Sixth Chapter
Sixth Chapter
Technology - Now controls
Powersystems - Overload
In the matrix - Once your mind
Lies the sorrow - None survive
Globalised - Authority
World enmeshed - Hyper reality
Brain connected - Consume priority
End millennium - Mass anxiety
Time compessed - Rapidity
Space is stretched - New totality
Pulse still beats - Deep inside
Accept the chaos - Embrace new life
One mans valour - Anothers sin
One chapter closes - Another begins
A final tribute
Overshadowed by stone
At the end
Alone
