1. Transgressor
You'll feel the heat you'll burn to my touch
The cinders fall as they spill abrupt
The move is fast glance too slow to find
There's more than evil in transgressor's mind
I've stepped beyond the law divine and gone beyond limits set, prescribed
I live to take don't tread behind intact I'm not and I'm mindless blind
The change takes place the sights are set enter my lair and live to regret
My lair's a cage impregnable you'll bet a hungry mind is my victim's net
My guilt is innocence from which you'll bet
To it you're drawn from you it grows on me a turned table is your worst enemy
The fact you are in truth you will not be
Place of torment my final rest I'll know
Before I'm through my flames will rise to show
I'll break down I know my end is near unlike your kind I've learned no fear
Hellish eyes block my broken view of animism in minds of very few
I'll leave a lesson untaught but true my terror lives inside of you
2. Birds of Prey
In a course of flight decided the lairs source from out of hiding
Across the skies our wings they cover sharpest eyes in flight we hover
Drop to fall we're one by one eternity and we're his sons
The call of the swarms the flight of our storm
Cold and massive roar sweeping away
The distance shows our sight non ending
This frightful message that we're sending
Sweeping and dropping tonight beneath the moonbeams light
Sweeping to arms length height then soaring away
Chorus:
Birds of prey traveling by day arrivals sight cold and black the night
The call of the swarms the flight of our storm
Beneath the moonbeams light sweeping to unseen heights
Take to hide your moves are helpless until we cease our rule is endless
Birds of prey stalking the day efforts in vain by man
Take cover of final stand
Birds of prey, birds of prey
3. Cast Out
How much more can I take they don't realize their mistake
For these chains and shackles barred on me
A condemned man but why they're all deaf to my cry
And choose to end my life discreetly
All of the facts aren't clear my terrible fate grows near
Decision of the highest court to the gallows or the chair
The laws choice so unfair my sanity's mend is torn apart
A man's life has faded away so this great price I'll pay
For I have been cast out
Self defense is my plight to judge my way as right
To rid my guilt and fight my way no time left I must escape
No chance to hesitate a fugitive with no laws to obey
Cast out...
4. Portrait of Despair
A worldly terror prys in the judgement of my mind
Disconcernment lowers me to the borders of insanity
Trifle battles remorse throw me off my own set course
May I seek a tactful find of the wisdom and the sagacious mind
Oh you are the mentor can you cure and lure me free
I have heard the tales of wisdom and your voice of pure integrity
I am traveling far and wide but you still persist to run and hide
Can you hear but just my voice I seek intellect for my own choice
Ill advised improper lies have taken all but my own life
Eccentric is my cry let your word lead me a cure inside
Oh you are the mentor for I need to know your course
See the rush of war surround me your cure is real and I must belong
Chorus:
Seeking out my sage in a course to cure my temper's rage
I see I'm coming near to where you teach and take the stage
Can you wipe the colors glare from my portrait of despair
Your word has just betrayed and tempers lies of all who stay
To hear the mentor's word and the potent cure to which we're lured
Chorus
5. Black Lit Nights
Burn the steel, link our mesh build the form hour's best
Fit us for the fight swinging weapons engage tonight
Raise the drawbridge take our posts a feast tonight salute and boast
Darkness is the time we'll show no light
The black lit knights will engage tonight
Chorus:
Overcast skies hover over the rows
Test the strength of their shields with our long bows
Tales of past battles show glamorous fight
But not the pain endured by the black lit knights
Heavy weather douse out our fires informing prophets are crucified liars
Left behind to deal with traitorous lust
The wounded lie helpless encircled in dust
Chorus
Rising sun but it's not over yet capture men hang under death's net
The air is dense the smoke rises high the boastful fight a treacherous lie!
Chorus
6. The Manic’s Mask
There's a man who needs my tending a mind so twisted I must bring on ending
He's on the run from those who watched him become a manic behind realism
Now he's wearing a face to deceive a mask of intense baroque imagery
Can I reveal his terror in disguise?
His sedition is known worldwide but yet he seems to slip inside
Now he's wearing a face to deceive a mask of intense baroque imagery
Chorus:
The manic's mask (3x)
Got me in his grip
Once again he's struck a victim but once again he's left me ridden
Chorus
Behold the end of the merciless man who himself perished without mercy
I will find you watch and see your covered world will end with me
Chorus
It's off and I'm free!!
7. Legend
Take the road until it's end never crouching to the bend of life
Through a jungle lined with pain across a sea through dun and rain again
Mercury's runner through night turns to day
Forging a legend that holds up today
Breaker, a huntsman, the words mark the rest
Take to the legend a runner that's best
Conducting speed of tranquil grace through his planet's deepest space again
Mercury's runner through space and through time
Forging a legend of speed and of rhyme
Runner, conductor, the streak of the night
Making his move then again out of sight
8. Walking Fire
9. Speed of Sound
I've followed traces of the steps before
I've passed away now, into peaceful war
Nearing now I see I have longed to be
Taken by the hand of the faceless one who stands
Now I undergo the change of life foretold
Growing on to me and now I soon shall be
Soaring blindly in a race through borrowed time
And beside me a race of souls who ride
Growing on me the wings of flight in empty space
Is it terror propelling us into the chase
Chorus:
I'm timeless bound from the speed of sound
And the move that's endless all around
And with this space I share all the souls who bare
Heavy weight turning loose falling to the ground
As the sun falls dark we have made our mark
It captures me to know I have doused the final spark
Chorus
It's never ending our lungs have burst with might
Souls of this speed spectors soar through the night
Into stardom then beyond who knows?
The speed of sound is broke and onward we are bold!
Chorus
