1. The Archer
He was a teacher, a man of peace,
his family taken, his hate released.
His wrath unbound, religion newfound
the time was right to join the fight.
He now sleeps by day, and hunts by night.
Hiding in the hills, awaiting his kill,
the arrows his missiles, his launcher the bow.
A hero to his allies, but not to his foe,
for these unwanting invaders, the hammer deals it‘s blow
Now a tale will be told,
a religious warrior,in a modern day.
Hero to his folk, but death to his prey.
The battle is set, the onslaught begins,
the archer awaits,the target appears.
His arrow flies,for his quarry death nears,
an almighty explosion, followed by cheers.
Down in the valley, the enemy dies.
From a humble teacher, to a heroic warrior,
from a soldier to a leader he grows.
Leading his men on missions of honour,
death or glory their only goal.
2. Insanity Or Reality
In the dead of night, the madness returns,
nightmares of times gone by.
Are these faces imagined or reality,
visions of people i’ve tormented or tried.
Tortured voices scream out at me,
robbing me of my sanity,
tortured voices scream out at me,
robbing me of my sanity.
The screams of those soules break through the dark,
begging for me to die.
My time is nowhere near,
for the easy escape my crimes too dire.
These souls scream out at me,
robbing me of my sanity,
these souls scream out at me,
robbing me of my sanity.
Nightmares come to me,
is this my insanity.
Voices scream to me,
this is your reality.
I beg their forgiveness, they ignore my pleas,
allowing me no release.
Why won’t they leave me alone,
leave me alone and let me die.
These souls scream out at me,
robbing me of my sanity,
these souls scream out at me,
robbing me of my sanity.
3. Unfullfilled
You took my soul, and broke it in two.
My rebirth is coming, only without you.
The tide has turned, and now i am free.
I relish the darkness awakening in me.
The evil wretchedness of my soul,
hunger and lust, my only goal.
Now that i’ve been released, releasing the wildness inside of me.
A heart in conflict, a world full of perversity.
Longing for a life, of sensuality.
The fire in my soul, has now been released.
To love, honour, and obey, forever now deceased.
My resurrection is finally complete,
i’m alive and revelling, in your defeat.
In times to come, you’ll pay for your sins.
Your dreams turn to nightmares, alcohol to pills.
You are the memories of a life unfulfilled,
if it had gone on longer i’d have had you killed.
Now i am alone, my life is mine,
the memories of you are dead with time.
You are the remnants of times gone by,
thank god your gone, now fuck off and die!
4. Conflict
The silence almost deafening,
the only sound my heart beating within.
Scared to death, pumping adrenaline.
The smell of fear oh so intense.
Silence breaks, artillery overhead,
deeper in my hole,wishing i was home instead,
smoke screen in the fields to my for
sounds of guns and tanks rising to a roar.
Stand to The sergeant Major now Cries,
switch on if you want to stay alive.
All fear and dread forgotten now,
do or die, kill, be killed the only motto.
Why am i here?
Scream the voices in my head,
mother and father‘s hero,
what good is that if i‘m dead?
The generals, no interest if i die,
another casualty,
another wasted life.
The first assault now coming to an end,
time to count casualties,
then reload and replen.
Not a question of if but when,
the enemy will attack again.
Lying alone in this lonely hole,
the battle soon to commence.
Awaiting my fate,
not knowing who will win,
lying here in alround defence.
Heart beating, one hundred miles an hour,
the enemy‘s assault taking on new speed and power.
Watch and shoot the sergeant major‘s call
ammunition preservation the rule for us all.
Through the smoke, a behemoth in sight,
the dragon missile takes it‘s first flight.
The fields to our front,
a metal graveyard soon to become,
when the silence returns,
then our job is done.
Why am i here?
Scream the voices in my head,
mother and father’s hero
what good is that if i’m dead.
For the battle today i’ve survived,
tomorrow another day, another chance to die.
5. Reckless Tide
Self indulgance, the orgy of life
rules must be bent.
Stress, pressure, trouble and strife
living to a rapid end.
The late nights, still early to rise,
life in the fast lane.
Mistreat the body in many different ways,
satisfaction ending in pain.
Life in the fast lane.
We’re killing ourselves to live.
Satisfaction turning to pain.
We’re killing ourselves to live.
Follow the path to extremity
life is a reckless tide.
Taking no time to slow it down,
for sleep there is no time.
To turn the full circle of life,
got to live on the edge.
Heed my words,follow my lead,
we’ll sleep when we’re dead.
