1. Hypnotized

Masses form into religion to fulfill their lives
Seeking answers in the bible, hear their helpless cries
Mindlessly, no thought, they follow false prophets of the flesh
Depend on the spirit of the One to grant their every wish

Pre-Chorus:
It's not too late to change your fate
You must control your own mind
You're the only one that can release you
It's yourself you've got to find

Chorus:
Fools give money to the church to earn their place with God
In our eyes it's contradiction and religious fraud
Hypnotized by what they say
Your mind is under their control
Hypnotized you will obey
Your fate will soon be called

You must make your own decision of what you think is real
Your soul was given on to you and not for these thieves to steal
Don't be fooled by these hypnotic forces, they will rob you blind
There is no excuse for their actions
Making a mockery of mankind

Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus

Masses form into religion to fulfill their lives
Seeking answers in the bible, hear their helpless cries
Don't be fooled by these hypnotic forces, they will rob you blind
There is no excuse for their actions
Making a mockery of mankind

Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus




2. Opiate of the Masses

The future is scarred by the bloodstained past
Haunted by disgrace
Holy wars that are never ending
Forever fight of faith
Don't accuse these meaningless symbols
Created by mankind
Will they recognize their own creation?
Can they be so blind?

Fools manipulating all they see
Cruel as the world can be
Cries of pain as the tortured souls
whither away into the dust
Power is the fix
And man is drawn to it
The illness and the lies
The virus never dies

To captivate the minds of the masses
Tell them what they want to hear
And for those who will oppose you
They will live in fear
Domination your favorite sensation
Operated by remote control
In your hands are the lives of the helpless
Their fate they'll never know

Fools manipulating all they see
Cruel as the world can be
Cries of pain as the tortured souls
Whither away into the dust

Power is the fix
And man is drawn to it
No matter the cost of what's won or lost
Addiction planted the seed
That sprouted the tree of greed
The illness and the lies
The virus never dies

Control your own destiny
Get rid of insecurity
There's little truth in what they say
Don't let 'em steal your life away

Power
To this world brings death and destruction
Leaving the earth in decay
Money
Breeds organized crime and corruption
Who says that crime doesn't pay?
Greed - The green-seeking virus that spreads
And manifests your selfish needs
Spreading the addiction
Man's own contradiction
When it's themselves that they deceive




3. Heathen's Song

Echoed voices silently
Whisper to me in my sleep
Though the words, they are not clear
They say the things I want to hear
Lightning strikes and don't you know
What to say and where to go
In time you'll find your way
In my sleep the voices say

Over the mountains and across the sea
I've searched for the land where I could be free
Freedom is something that I never had
I gotta set myself free or I'm gonna go mad

Just let me be my own way
Have my own god to whom I pray
Don't need your mass conformity
No place for me in your society

Well I believe in life and all it's worth
I never ask the question "who created the earth?"
But I fled from the worship of the other men
Because what you believe must come from within

Just let me be my own way
Have my own god to whom I pray
Don't need your mass conformity
No place for me in your society

Repeat first verse

Voices calling
Times are changing
There's no time to rearrange the past
Forgotten sorrow
Until tomorrow
It's overshadowed by the willingness of your soul

Passage walls of glory revealed before my eyes
A narrow task of blissful skies appear within the light
A heathen's journey to a pagan moon
A meeting of the minds
Leads to the challenge of life
Until the end of time




4. Kill the King (Rainbow Cover)

Danger, danger
The Queen's about to kill
A stranger, stranger
Life's about to spill

Pre-Chorus:
Oh no
Move away from harm
I need a spell, a charm
Fly like the wind
And the pawn will be gone
Speed on, and on

Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king
Strike him down

Power, power
Happens every day
Power, devour.
All along the way

Repeat Pre-Chorus

Kill the king

Treason, treason
The spectre looms again
Treason, reason
The realm is safe ... and then

Oh no
Move away from harm
I need a spell, a charm
Fly like the rainbow
And the pawn will be gone
Speed on, and on

Kill the king
Strike him down
Kill the king
Got to take his crown




5. Fear of the Unknown

Superstition creeps within
They alter what we hold in our perception
Our subconscious stores the clues
To what is in our mind and what is real

Pre-Chorus:
No one knows the reason
No one has the key
To unlock the door of this mystery
Will we ever find out?
Will we ever see?
What's behind the curtain of perplexity?

Chorus:
So many things in life we just can't explain
There is so much that's still unclear
If we dare to enter the forbidden zone
We'd no longer feel the fear of the unknown

Images of the unseen
Wander through our imagination
It's all so strange, the wonder of it all
Our hopes and fears, the rise and falls

Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus

This unseen power mystifies the hour
Transforms the blue skies to red
The howling moon is calling
As the dead of night is falling
These spirits dance upon our souls

Sometimes you can feel it
You might not believe it; but things happen that
we can't control
Nothing has changed
It's still the same
Unanswered questions will remain




6. Prisoners of Fate

There's got to be a solution
There must be a cure
Something to get me through this confusion
What will it take to set me free?
The time that's passed is full of frustration

So much to tell, but no words to say
I've suffered enough and my dues are paid
No turning back now
I'm on my way

When I look back I see
A time of misery
At times it seemed that it would never end

Chorus:
Life is a gamble
No matter how you play the game
Roll the dice and take your chances
Win or lose it doesn't matter
'Cause there's no escape
When you're a prisoner of fate

Anything is possible
But nothing is ever really sure
Not always knowing what's wrong or right
Your only choice is to decide
I stand alone in the pouring rain
I just had to say
Capture the moment before it's gone
You've got the strength to carry on

I was condemned to feel
This pain that's so unreal
The chains that bind me are behind me know

Repeat Chorus

Once I was lost in the abyss
No longer could I go on like this

Repeat Chorus

Prisoners of fate (4x)




7. Morbid Curiosity

Drawn forth by terror, they gather to see
The wreckage and the carnage, it's like a disease
We read it in the papers, we see it on the news
Conditioned by the media, how can we refuse?

Sirens screaming into the night
A victim of circumstance
A blur of flashing light
Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see
The twisted remains of what used to be

Everyday we run this deadly race
Anything can happen at any time or place
The future isn't certain, no matter what you do
When your time has come, fate falls upon you

Sirens screaming into the night
A victim of circumstance
A blur of flashing light
Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see
The twisted remains of misery

Curious people attracted to death
Capture a glimpse of someone's last breath
Subject of interest for public view
What happened to them could've happened to you

Some people can't wait to hear it
The disaster of the day
It makes them feel better
While their own lives decay

Drawn forth by terror, they gather to see
The wreckage and the carnage, it's like a disease
How will this affect the future in time to come?
How will they perceive us when all is said and done?

Sirens screaming into the night
A victim of circumstance
A blur of flashing light
Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see
The twisted remains of what used to be

Curious people attracted to death
Capture a glimpse of someone's last breath
Subject of interest for public view
What happened to them might happen to you




8. Guitarmony (Instrumental)




9. Mercy Is No Virtue

Rip the pages from the book of lies
Never will we ever fall to compromise
Now we're back to set the record straight
Fueled by anger, our pain has turned to hate

Symptoms of stagnation are coming to an end
Solitude's frustration has been our only friend
Now we must break free.

Mercy is no virtue when the mercyful is betrayed
There must be some kind of justice before it's too late

Right at you straight between the eyes
This relentless attack will be no disguise
Things have been said that just are not true
Hear what I say when I say this to you

Symptoms of stagnation are coming to an end
Solitude's frustration has been our only friend
Now we must break free.

Mercy is no virtue, that's what the merciless say
When justice is lost, the system fails, and all we do is pay

Take a look around, 'cause the band is back in town
And vengeance and revenge is what they seek
If you see them coming you better step aside
Because now they'll show no mercy
You can see it in their eyes

Because mercy is no virtue
