1. Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Only the gods know
They're looking right through you
Straight into the eyes of a dead man
There isn't enough hours in the day
What will be seen
When your world comes crashing down
Staring in the eyes of a gone man
No more fuckin' time left on your side, on your side
All of your hopes and dreams - don't mean shit!
All that's left is, now to nowhere!
I believe, do anything at all costs
You must believe
Not all who wander are lost
Tied to the tree of woe, so woe to you
In front of the man with the dead eyes
With a choir of faith there's still hell to pay
Not enough hours in the day
Hell of patience to be paid
So who's left to wonder?
In the wake of destruction, get made
All of your hopes and dreams - never meant shit!
All that's left is, now to nowhere!
I believe, do anything at all costs
You must believe
Not all who wander are lost
Something, somewhere, injects the eye
Texas! Nights! Defines the sky!
2. Clouds Over California
Come forth for the cattle call
Confront the evil river you can't control
Wicked ways and venomous lies
Just human nature in disguise
Lost in this world, out on the edge
With death by our sides
Today I swore that I wouldn't mourn ya
Clouds over California
If that's the way it's gonna be then I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint in sinner's eyes
Curse the clouds over California
This is the call to obey
Let the chaos reign!
Bloodshot and weary-eyed
We took you in full of sin and pride
It'll take you and break you away
It'll tear you apart
Today I swore that I wouldn't mourn ya
Clouds over California
If that's the way it's gonna be then I'll fuckin' go it alone
I'm a saint in sinner's eyes
Curse the clouds over California
This is the call to obey
Let the chaos reign!
3. Bound by the Moon
Brothers and Sisters
The lords taking his own sweet time
Without rhyme or reason
The failure is not thine
Like wolves to a virgin
The intention is made clear
At war with ourselves
At war with the odds
At odds with the fear
Hard time will bring you way, way down
And all of this running
It's gonna be the death of me
When they ask you about this
Tell them I was
Running in the company of wolves
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood
Bound by the moon!
Went to the well
But the goddamn thing was dry today
I spent all of my life
Running from suicide
Is it the fucking fool
That keeps on chasing the dream?
A dream that cannot fail
So proudly we hail!
When they ask you about this
Tell them I was
Running in the company of wolves
It's the company we keep
Brotherhood
Bound by the moon!
And we shall roam
And the wolf fucking fucked her
Lay as she lay bleeding on the moors
Bleeding on the moors
Running in the company of wolves
Its the company we keep
Brotherhood
Bound by the moon!
Brotherhood of wolves
4. Horn of Betrayal
What the fuck do you want from me?
It's so damn plain to see that you're not grateful
Silence takes courage
No scars, no truth but the wounds tell the story
Of what will be done for honor and glory
Silence is deafening
Does the end justify the means?
In all honesty, how do you sleep?
Silence takes courage
The horn of betrayal
Sounds loudly for the fallen
While mine eyes are worlds away
Watch cowards as they bend the knee
Scratch a liar - find a thief
Inside is where the demon dwells
So I bite my tongue when it comes to you
Silence takes courage
Your heart needs amputation
Crying the get-lost blues - fuck you!
Silence is deafening
The horn of betrayal
Sounds loudly for the fallen
While mine eyes are worlds away
Watch cowards as they bend the knee
Scratch a liar - find a thief
Through the lies and the blasphemy
You are fucking dead to me
You are dead to me!
This de los muerte, this day of the dead It turns for me celebration instead
Skull and bones, walking away from a throne
To seek another kingdom...
Your selfless heart
Your selfless...
Waves of sorrow washed over me
Your selfless..
5. These Fighting Words
Pleading your case while taking the eternal high ground
Havoc on the airwaves, I'm listening
Don't see any daylight glistening
Long for the home I left yesterday
Those memories slowly decay
Two highways
The fork in the road
Which one to take?
Through the middle they rode
These fighting words deserve exile
Banished!
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible... Right
Fucking feast for the eyes
Believe now - beast killer arise
In my opinion this dominion is mine
Banished, days gone awry
These fighting words deserve exile
Banished!
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible
These fighting words deserve exile
Banished!
Unbelievable, unbelievable
Invincible
Goddamn invincible! Unbelievable
6. Head on to Heartache (Let Them Rot)
Secure and hold fast
Before you lose control
It's hell or high water
Believe in gods, hooves, horns and thunder
Days of wrath, don't go seeking shelter
Poison creeps, serpents slither, then slumber
Bastards, paradise, true the bargain was made
Full thrust, enticed to an early grave
Deals were struck late into a cold winter's eve
The table was set, laid out for the feast
Secure and hold fast, before you lose control
Head on to heartache
Beware of the promises made
Head on to heartache
Stead fast to an early grave (Let them rot!)
Deals with the Devil, there's no second best
It's in my nature to say fuck the rest
Ever thought the world was crashing down?
Man, people were talking all around
Bastards, paradise, true the bargain was made
Full thrust, enticed to an early grave
Deals were struck late into a cold winter's eve
The table was set, laid out for the feast
Secure and hold fast, before you lose control
Head on to heartache
Beware of the promises made
Head on to heartache
Stead fast to an early grave (Let them rot!)
Let them fucking rot!
Let 'em rot
Secure and hold fast, before you lose control
Head on to heartache
Beware of the promises made
Head on to heartache
Steadfast to an early grave (Let them rot!)
7. Burning Sermon
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
You carry the burden as an excuse
To keep the pressure on
So you don't fall off
Seem to love the usual vices
Gonna get your fill
So take your pills
I'll see you in the morning
No one ever comes full circle
And never will
Welcome to the pity party
The sign says KILL!
O, the webs you've woven
The lies you've chosen
The love in ruins
This fucking betrayal
Will bring the truth out
Out on the table for all to see, see
This burning heart is a burning sermon
With whiskey it burns
Taken, ridden, ravaged...
Bedlam
Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit
Wake up
You fucking coward of a man
The line between us
Has been drawn in the sand
I'm calling you out
On all your bullshit to date
So hang a light...
Out for me
O, the webs you've woven
The lies you've chosen
The love in ruins
This fucking betrayal
Will bring the truth out
Out on the table, for all to see, see
This burning heart is a burning sermon
With whiskey it burns
Taken, ridden, ravaged...
Bedlam
Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit
This fucking betrayal
This is a call to the throne!
Call to the throne!
Mansions of misery, built on pain
Your houses of deceit
Wake up
This is a call to the throne!
8. Monsters of the Deep
Is there a promised land
or am I on the journey going to nowhere?
Are the streets paved with gold
or am I slipping on the mold that slowly grows there?
Every man has his conscience
Sanity
Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
Setting forth together now
Out towards the monsters of the deep
Set your sights on rocky shores
You just might run around on the reef
The journey in the destination
Mention fear, you're falling on deaf ears
Every man has his conscience
Sanity
Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
Setting forth together now
Out towards the monsters of the deep
Aye, Aye
Left along the way
Carried in this vessel
Setting forth together now
Out towards the monsters of the deep
9. Tirades of Truth
Reaping the wind through this mortal shell
In the wake of destruction this will not fail
Walking with shadows defined by my suffering
Feeding the spirit through divine intervention
Out of the fire, so much for compassion
I've thrown it to desire, in time you'll hear
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgement... listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels
And above beasts
It's seldom dear, the roads to temptation
Are filled with such peril but the human spirit can
Soar, it's more than we can ever be in one lifetime
We need more to become gods ourselves
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgement... listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels
And above beasts
Temptation
Even the heavens aren't innocent, innocent!
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgement... listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels
And above beasts
10. When Summoned
Bloodthirsty - horn on the wind
Hellbent - outside looking in
Voices that carry on nightly
Don't ask - just go in now blindly
I'm bloodshot, thrown away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of anger to be avoided
Extended forgiveness, and then got bit...
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
They call it the breaking point
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!
Nothing's ever set in stone
Wide through, harvest seeds you've sown
It's all right, right as rain
As far as I'm concerned, FUCK THE FAME!!
I'm bloodshot, thrown away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of sadness to be avoided
Extended forgiveness, and then got bit...
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
They call it the breaking point
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!
Climbing... scratching... uphill
So breathless, lifeless, able still
Long live this short life of trouble
Long live, short life
Long live this short life of trouble
Long live, long live...
11. The Axe Shall Fall
This abomination
Won't see the end of days
Sit, throne of lies, torn
By voice on high
Death was only a dream
Not devastating disaster
The rights of passage
The past we can't alter
Fuck you, you...
And the horse that you rode in on
Just sit there
And be silent as the grave
You've come out this time
Smelling just like roses
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine
The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down
The axe shall fall
On the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For he, who sins, against his kind
The axe shall fall
Alright... alright!!!
With a hollow heart
And hollow eyes
A cry from the cross
Serpents in disguise
Hearts of distrust
Is what we despise
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine
The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down
The axe shall fall
On the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For me, who sins, against his kind
Alright...
Alright!!!
The axe shall fall
On the one winged angel... tonight
Tonight... tonight
