1. Steal Them Blind
Live for now, seize the moment
Break away, from rules and confines
Leave the bounds, of moral constraints
Reap rewards, and take all you find
Ride on into the night
Fade to black and hide
Take your time, all is ripe
Choose your crime, steal them blind
Feel no guilt, ignore your conscience
Greed will rule, as food for your sustenance
Elevate, your standart of living
Waste it all. There's a more for the taking
Ride on into the night
Fade to black and hide
Take your time, all is ripe
Choose your crime, steal them blind
Play it cool, I get away with everything
A done deal, a guaranteed sure thing
Take your time, all is ripe
Choose your crime, steal them blind
Take what you find, and
Steal them blind
2. I Am the Anger
I've marched to wars, with a vicious rage
I've counted thousands dead from righteous plague
I am history, from all you know
I am the future, that you will sow
I've been to hell, I've touched the sun
I've seen heavens fall, I am the one
I am the power, who blacks the night
I am the anger, for all your fights
I am the power, who parts the seas
I am the savoir, for all your needs
I was at the birth, of the longest day
I was there at the death, of the wisest sage
Over and over now it'll be the same
Mankind's on the path, to the final shame
I've been to hell, I've touched the sun
I've seen heavens fall, I am the one
I am the power, who blacks the night
I am the anger, for all your fights
I am the power, who parts the seas
I am the savoir, for all your needs
I am the power
I blacken the night
I am the power, who blacks the night
I am the anger, for all your fights
I am the power, who parts the seas
I am the savoir, for all your needs
I am the power, I blackened the night
I am the anger, who causes your fights
I am the power, who plants the seeds
I am the savoir, for your dark deeds
3. Immortal Lives Young
Falling down is a child's next move
Learning how not to fall is life's pursuit
And the conflict grows
All we need is a guiding host
Time the thief steals away
Dreams and hopes
For a virtuous world
God and evil, stalks all the young
Pray your choice is, kingdom come
Impulsive the youth, it drive them to prove they know what's better
But you know the truth, the wisdom is proof it comes much later
And the conflict is grows
Never comes to a close
When you were young
Did you learn from the tales you heard
Where you impressed
As to take them to heart
When you were young
Did you feel as did everyone
You stand as immortal
When you were grown
Did you learn from the tales you heard
Nothing appears as it did as when young
Where you are grown
And you know that it all was wrong
You stand there as mortal
You are now a mortal
You are now a mortal
Falling down, is a pain that's earned
Knowing now, it was all lessons learned
For a virtuous world
God and evil, stalks all the young
Pray your choice is, kingdom come
Good or evil, claims everyone
No more chances, for now you're gone
Immortal lives young, the conflict goes on
Mortals they learn, the conflict goes on
Immortal lives young
4. Burning Earth
Guilty, angered, of all that's been betrayed
Longing, dreaming, where is yesterday
Day by day we see the world, falling to defeat
Water, air, all are lost, and the food we eat
Needless wars brought about, by the powers hands
Children cry, mothers weep, they can't understand
Calling, begging, do we really hear
Ignoring, denying, from year to year
Burning earth, land of the flame, losing to the force of greed
Burning earth, land of the flame, we forgot her needs
Hour by the hour, we sink into the deep
Money talks, to the guards, stolen in our sleep
Ordinary citizen, ignorance complete
Fooled again, by their ways, often to repeat
Calling, begging, do we really hear
Ignoring, denying, from year to year
Burning earth, land of the flame, losing to the force of greed
Burning earth, land of the flame, we forgot her needs
Save her now, from sea to sea
Time is short, we all believe
Save us all, no amnesty
It's the shame, of humanity
5. The Fire & the Fury
6. You Have Survived
Times are tough, so you're heard
Has it ever been easy at all
Money rules, it's so absurd
The lack thereof will speed your fall
Work and slave, to the bone
Where's the sense in living this way
Greed and waste, they pour it on
You're not to question the game they play
Are we, debating, if a crime should occu
Here is, the reasoning should we ever the score
All is well, at the end of the day
If you're still alive
Bang your drum, play it hard, celebrate
You have survived
Bang your
Bang your angry drum
Bang it hard, hard!
More or less, mostly more
You're left waiting and nothings there
Fair is fair, in love and war
But you're alone and no one cares
Are we, debating, if a crime should occu
Here is, the reasoning should we ever the score
All is well, at the end of the day
If you're still alive
Bang your drum, play it hard, celebrate
You have survived
Do we dare, are we scared
To the charge of affairs
Roll the dice, pay the price
To cower is the real crime
7. Brother's Keeper
There is an answer to it all
We must embrace or we will destroy all we are
I was reeling from the news today
Crying out was a world in pain
Here and now it seems somehow we broke the vow
To be our Brother's keeper
This world can be a lonely, lonely place
It doesn't have to be your only fate
Same old story for another day
Nothing changing and there's hell to pay
Here and now it seems somehow we broke the vow
To be our Brother's keeper
This world can be a lonely, lonely place
It doesn't have to be your only fate
Open up to reveal your spirit face
Forgive forget and live for love's embrace
I am not alone, in feeling we've been wrong
Wasting the gifts of our lives
Say that you'll agree, it's up to you and me
We hold the key to survive
This world can be a lonely, lonely place
It doesn't have to be your only fate
Open up to reveal your spirit face
Forgive forget and live for love's embrace
8. Waiting Still
I have never known
A lover of my own
So many times I've tried and yet love eludes me
Where have I gone wrong, it's the same old song
Wasting time away, I'm so tired of brooding
I'm here, I'm here waiting for you
Seems like always waiting for you
Who are you that never shows
Keeper of my very soul
I've cried a trial of many tears
Mourning the journey through the years
No once can tell just how I feel
Once again I'm waiting still
Where's the secret hid
So many others find
So many broken dreams yet I'm still dreaming
I'll keep searching on
Until I find the one
Somewhere out there is a love
That needs me
I've been searching for so long
Waiting for my soul one
I'm here, I'm here waiting for you
Seems like always waiting for you
I'm here!
9. The Longest Day
Take my hand now, I will lead you far away
From our homeland, to a place we shall not stay
But for moments, until your crying fades
And the haunting, of all those who paid
Hold your mother's memory
She was always there for you, but now she's gone
The longest day will it ever end
How long can men behave this way
The longest day has taken our loves
How long can wars remain
The morning sun rose, as it did like yesterday
A day like others, until the bombs fell our way
My son and wife died and left our small hometown in flames
There was no reason, to be hit by death's reign
Hold your mother's memory
She was always there for you
But now she's gone
The longest day will it ever end
How long can men behave this way
The longest day has taken our loves
How long can wars remain
I hold your hand
As you took your lasr breath
I could not save you
Nor my son from death
The longest day will it ever end
How long can men behave this way
The longest day has taken our loves
How long can wars remain
The longest day will it ever end
How long can men behave this way
The longest day has ruined our lives
Why do the wars remain
