"Terror Abraxas" (2003 EP)
1. A Breed Apart
2. Those Who Dare Beyond
3. Trialed by Fire
4. Terror
5. Prometheus
1. A Breed Apart
What we found
And what we saw
A black flame
On distant shore
So we set sail
To the west
Dying sun
Marks our quest
On our skin we wear
The mark
At our helm
A burning torch
2. Those Who Dare Beyond
Hunger pumping the venom to strike
Anger ablaze eternal light
Fist full of steel eyes of pain
Fighting the fight in our domain
Fire is the source
Passion lusting to rasp
Dreams of wicked falling before us
But passion sells out
Nothing more than a game
Once was strong, now only few remain
Riding the force
Feeling the heat and the will
Reaching beyond what is seen
Only those who dare beyond
The understood
The taste of blood in our mouths
Biting the bit, breaking the chains
Of the horde, quicken the pace
Running the gauntlet of the sword
Fast stalk, on which we prey
Taking charge of destiny
Seize the day, seize the night
Taking all which is our right
3. Trialed by Fire
So has my truth been seen tested by time
Reckoned by age, trialed by fire
Was there wisdom in what I believed
Or was it ghosts by whom I was deceived
So what I found on this trial
The scattered remains of those who have failed
So the world has taught me many things
One I pass onto you
The world that we are looking for
Well, it isn't coming soon
And I climbed one mountain side
To find yet another
An endless sea of darkness for us yet to discover
And my soul pines for rest
In the heat of the flame I so desire
It burns, the heat of the fire
4. Terror
Let us be the hammer
Let us be the blade
Let us be the mace
Let us be the chain
Let us rend asunder
Let us crush beneath
Let us hear the sound
Of a million dying screams
But let us be real, not pawns of ideal
Not the folly of kings, nor rats in their wheel
Let us walk alone, let us strike at night
Let us be silent, secrecy our might
Let us smash the doors
Of those who have betrayed
Let us stain the streets
With the blood of slaves
(but) let us be calm
In the face of the beast
The fool is mass
In the face of all you meet
So if you can see, the truth is not easy
And you can hear
A sound in the wind with the promise of war
And if you can feel it
And you can breathe it
And you can face it
Then hear the words that threaten war
5. Prometheus
So, you've come again
Tear me with talons and slap me with feathers
Once I could depend on death,
my friend.
So, you've come again
Time becomes reckoned on wings that are beating
And the day begins screaming
Oh I am still here (a thousand years)
I am still here (a thousand deaths)
I am still here, so hear me cry
FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME.
But promise me I'll die. But promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die... for the last time
Oceans endless time
Eats at the earth, and the rock, and my memory
I recall the crime... the clay... the fire
Man I made divine
Curses mortality, yearning eternal
But, immortalised, I'm screaming...
Oh I am still here (a thousand years)
I am still here (a thousand deaths)
I am still here, so hear me cry
FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME.
But promise me I'll die. Promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die... for the last time
So, you've come again
Flight of the eagle that rises totemic
Do I fear the pain? Or the weakness?
So, you've come again
Now that my nightmare has patched me together
I can die again screaming...
OH I AM STILL HERE (a thousand years)
I am still here (a thousand deaths)
I am still here, so hear me cry
FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME. FEED ON ME.
But promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die
Promise me I'll die... for the last time
(Originally written and performed by Australian singer/songwriter Wendy Rule)
