1. A Moment of Silence
Remember when all the days were of gold
And time was always at your side
The days of childhood are forever gone
Innocence lays shattered by the grave
Wait for a moment of silence
Before the day turns to night
Before the day turns to night
Wait for a moment of silence
Before the coming of the dark
Before the great storm
Wait for a moment of silence
And then the sun turns to black
The sun turns to black
In remembrance of days
That will never come back
We each must face our dying pasts
For every day must die
And though we strive to make them last
The future is inevitable
Wait for a moment of silence
Before the day turns to night
Before the day turns to night
Wait for a moment of silence
Before the coming of the dark
Before the great storm
Wait for a moment of silence
And then the sun turns to black
The sun turns to black
In remembrance of days
That will never come back
Wait for a moment of silence
2. Anno Domini
Dropped from the sky. Came to earth. To clean your minds. And serve your hate. Say your prayers. Bring your child. Save your souls. I know what you've done. You try to rule our lives. You want to gain control. You use a son of god. To bring this hate. You blind us with his name You treat us like a game. Your story is a shame on our end.
3. Coming end of reason
Show the world and your masses
Blood of the butchered you have slain
Behold, the coming end of reason
Death is a better way of life
Throw yourself at the mercy of the dead who seek revange
When blood is seen in haven
God knows his creature's gone insaine
Find no shelter from their wrath
Hate will lead you underground
Mark of glory – quiet maind
Brain dead leaders, out of line
Throw yourself at the mercy of the dead who seek revange
When blood is seen in haven
God knows his creature's gone insaine
You heed the words of the demented
Used as puppets in thier play of lies, hate and destruction
True dark ages abomination
4. Dying Embers
Lost in thoughts of the past,
The anguish of the years
Darkness is my only friend,
Darkness hides my tears.
I've lost the only light,
The embers fade and die.
The memories of days long gone
Refuse to ignite.
Lost in thoughts of the past,
The anguish of the years.
Darkness is my only friend,
Darkness hides my tears.
I've lost the only light,
The embers fade and die.
But why?
Can this be all that's left?
This love has gone amiss.
And why am i left to die,
To perish here for all to see?
Why? Can this be all that's left?
This love has gone amiss
5. Winter’s Tear
When autumn leaves are falling
Nature's calling me to stay at home
And if the rain is pouring
My heart's soring and I'm all alone
I wish I could be understood
It's only fair but they all stare
I'm at a loss at such a cost
I wish that you were here to stay
Say that it isn't so
Don't tell me that it's time to go
Don't ever be the one to know
Just say that it isn't so
In winter's tear when no one's near
I find condolence in the past
I reminisce and then get pissed
Her image haunts me like a ghost
I wish I could be understood
It's only fair but they all stare
I'm at a loss at such a cost
I wish that you were here to stay
Say that it isn't so
Don't tell me that it's time to go
Don't ever be the one to know
Just say that it isn't so
When autumn leaves are falling
Nature's calling me to stay at home
And if the rain is pouring
My heart's soring and I'm all alone
I wish I could be understood
It's only fair but they all stare
I'm at a loss at such a cost
I wish that you were here to stay
Say that it isn't so
Don't tell me that it's time to go
Don't ever be the one to know
Just say that it isn't so
6. Ha’ayara Bo’eret
Srefa, ahim, srefa
Ayaratenu boera kula
Ba ruhot schorot yisa'aru
Lehavoth hurban yivaru
Ikvoteha lo nisha'aru
Hi ola ba esh!
Va'atem hovkim yadaim
Bli hoshit ezra, bli habot et esh ha'lahav
Esh ha'ayara
Srefa, ahim, srefa
Krova has ve halila hashaa
Ki ha'lehavoth yatmidu
Et kulanu po yashmidu
Rak sridey kirot ya'idu
Ma shepo haya
Va'atem hovkim yadaim
Bli hoshit ezra, bli habot et esh ha'lahav
Esh ha'ayara
7. Eyes to match a soul
Cry out for one soul,
The only one that could ever hear,
Only one whose ears are brave
Enough to listen to the beat of a heart.
Try to find a pair of eyes,
Eyes to match a soul.
The sweat meets my tears,
The salt blinds me.
You are there, I know it,
I can sense the throbbing pain.
I catch a glimpse of sparkling eyes,
Then I see the eyes no more.
Try to find a pair of eyes,
Eyes to match a soul.
8. Slave
Drop your Gods and your primitive religion
Worship our land
Practice diminished
Slaves of the free world
Man made hunger
Bile and vulgar
Kneel
Brave new world
In the shadow of your mysterious death
Slave new world
In the shadow of your mysterious death
Dead man standing
Old man on his knees
Ragged glory
Evil breeds
Strapped by the angels
Freed by hate
Murder spree
Drop your Gods and your primitive religion
Worship our land
Practice diminished
Slaves of the free world
Man made hunger
Bile and vulgar
Kneel
Brave new world
In the shadow of your mysterious death
Slave new world
In the shadow of your mysterious death
9. Old Wounds
Screams of death
It's happened again
The nightmare has been revived
Old wounds re-opened
Desecration of the graves
And the writing on the wall
Power of hatred
Can turn the wheels back again
France – destroy the ancient tombs
England – riots in the streets
Russia – property was burned
What happened to the human race
Is their hate so strong that they cannot feel
Millions of bodies buried in the earth
Turn inside their graves
Their holy sleep has been disturbed
They will never rest again
10. Hour Glass
Time is seeping
Between my hands
The clock is ticking
Day fly by
Time is seeping into my thoughts
There's no mistaking
What's to come
I live my life
I have no choice
No voice
The lines not getting
Any shorter
The road we're taking
Is strait and narrow
Looking forward nothing is clear
One thing is certain
The end is near
I live my life
I have no choice
No voice
11. The Fading
My life is fading,
All that's left are memories.
Vestige from the past.
A fire-storm of fear.
I'm shadow of a man.
One foot in the grave.
I remember times of chaos.
A fire-storm of fear.
Nothing can escape
From mortality.
Man begins to feed on Man.
Wanted by demons of the past.
I remember times of chaos.
A fire-storm of fear.
Nothing can escape
From mortality.
The leaders talk and talk.
But nothing can escape the avalanche.
Fire-storm of fear.
12. Recall
Before you end your life
Recall all that you've done
Striving for wealth to gain some more power
All of which is now gone
No rest in your afterlife
Now we are left with a weapon
to be used in our Russian Roulette
Being self centered brings mass destruction
This is the world you helped create
No reat in your afterlife
No one can leave this place
A planet in chaos, unsafe
Rest in pieces
Rest in war
Why were you so dumb?
Ruining the future for the ones you love
Die
Now you begin your redemption
Your rooting corpse will fertilize the earth
If no one follows your hollow ways
There is a new chance for rebirth
No reat in your afterlife
13. Old Wounds (guest vocalists version)
Screams of death
It's happened again
The nightmare has been revived
Old wounds re-opened
Desecration of the graves
And the writing on the wall
Power of hatred
Can turn the wheels back again
France – destroy the ancient tombs
England – riots in the streets
Russia – property was burned
What happened to the human race
Is their hate so strong that they cannot feel
Millions of bodies buried in the earth
Turn inside their graves
Their holy sleep has been disturbed
They will never rest again
14. The 2nd Coming
