1. Redemption
Intimidation
I stand before you now
Hold my ground, you won't strike me down
A validation
Of all the blood I spilled
Survival of my will
There's nothing left to say
Yourself you have betrayed
We must try to seize the day
All the world will hear you
Redemption in the power of the sound
Interpretation
Of all the thoughts I shared
Draw you near, creating all your fear
A brand new nation
For those who preserve
The future is so clear
A validation of all the blood I spilled
A validation... All your blood spilt
2. Burning the Live
Soon a darkened pyramid will rise
There will be no escaping from the all seeing eye
Lost in blindness
Serving shielded masters still unknown
Chaos is their goal
Corrupt you heart and soul
The air is getting thin
Will you give in?
All the voices of the lost and forgotten
Still lay in their graves they've been silenced for their thoughts
Lost in blindness
The history is written in their blood
Chaos is their goal
Corrupt you heart and soul
The air is getting thin
Will you give in?
Burning the lives and the pride of the innocents
Tearing down all that we built!
3. Stormwinds
Fighting to control my mind
But tragedy is all I find!
The panic builds up from deep within the subconscious mind
Always thought that the pain would end with the passage of time
No matter how many layers deep you try to hide yourself
They will all crack and peel away to reveal something else
From the past we must break free
Come to terms with all that tortures me
Tragic memories invade
Let the storm winds wash them all away
I will be the only one who is left to decide
There will be more that is left for compromise
Break away from the curse of man's original sin
Turn away as you stay hidden behind a twisted grin
Tragic memories invade
Let the storm winds wash them all away
Purified I stand before the flames
As the ashes cover yesterday
Imprisoned by actions of the past
No use holding on
4. Failure of the Devout
I am the heir of the damned kingdom
Born into a legacy of regret
Searching for the promise of salvation
Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair
Been pulled deep into the chasm
By the grip of our desire
THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE
Must escape the weight of this depression
The choices that lead you to dismay
Who would save those who condemn themselves
CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior
The failure, failure of the devout
Set in motion by final sacrifice
Change begun in the name of righteousness
Infiltrated by greed, lust and hatred
Once more corrupted by the hands of man
Been pulled deep into the chasm
By the grip of our desire
Must escape the weight of this depression
The choices that lead you to dismay
The handsome mask of the devil
The lure of the cross! Of the dark!
You violate the sacred with your greed
Prey upon the people's misery and needs
With your greed, with your greed, with your greed!
I am the heir of this damned kingdom
Born into a life of regret
Searching for a promise
That's no longer kept
5. Venomous
I only wanted to
Kill the pain and the sorrow
Instead I buried you
And killed the happiness in me
Can you hear the laughter
Coming from my grave?
Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
In this misery
Full speed with blinders on
Never stopped to see the horror
I think you always knew
I'd drag you down to hell with me
Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
Tangled in this misery
Think of all I've said and done
All the fights I thought I won
Another scar for the chosen son
The ungodly one
How can I
Purge this venom from my veins?
Your sweetest suicide
Drags you in and flips that switch
As you fade away
With the breath of every hit
6. Another Lost Hero
I'd never leave you
But fate has come to silence me
It's become so hard to breathe
I can not reach you
And soon the earth will cover me
Darkness is all that I see
Forever is waiting
The final steps you're taking
Will soon be buried in the sand
All the battles
They say we won
They leave another thousand lives undone
Another thousand lives undone
Forever is waiting
The final steps you're taking
Will soon be buried in the sand
You're gone, but not forgot
Another hero lost
The sorrow builds with every passing
All the lessons that you taught
And all the light you brought
Lives on in the eyes of your son
7. Final Call
Seeing it all
Heeding the call
Lost! Without hoping to be found
A willing exile, I turn away
Rather face the endless silence
Than the hopeless and fear of today
The ashes choke the sky
Death's swift hand in disguise
Awaiting the final call
No use hesitating
ARE WE
Fearful of how dark it's grown?
The emptiness surrounds
WILL NOT BELIEVE
Refuse to think I'm on my own
Who will be CAST OUT?
Trust! In the lies that held you bound
Their twisted values lead you astray
They disgrace th world with violence
Leaving bitterness despair and decay
8. Dread Uprising
Reflecting on this life
Through the eyes of ancients
The wisdom of beyond
CHANT! Chant them down
DOWN! Into nothing
This power screams out from within
Like the trees that struggle towards the sun
Once again in due season we are reborn
Strike down the heathen. THIS MUST END
Swaying deeply in rhythm with the winds
There are eternal lessons within its pulse
Raising their false banners of hope
Lies everlasting
Fighting to save their self interest
DREAD UPRISING!
An end to it all
DREAD UPRISING
Watch as they fall
9. The Great Collapse
None, it's an instrumental.
10. Just Another Nightmare
The echoes creep into your dreams
Torn awake from your sleep
Unholy nightmare of savagery
THIS CAN NOT BE!
The warmth soaks into your fingers and soothes away the pain
Franticly replay the days
The tattered clothes still drape your frame
Crimson cloaked memories
Blood soaked destiny
This can not be the way it seems
Incapable of these things
Lost hold of demons inside of me
(The damage done)
The desolation that's inside us
This violence lurks beneath the skin
(Beneath the skin)
Do not be fooled by the quiet
(What I've become)
This silent killer dwells within
The conclusion comes crashing in
This is happening once again!
Can it be that I am capably murderous?
11. Forevermore
The threads of life start to tear
Hang above the pit of our despair
Seems the end is growing near
The life you knew will disappear
Every human life will overlap and intertwine
Create the fabric and the destiny of mankind\
START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND
They start the fires burning until they surround
Is there nothing left
Worth fighting for?
Forever more
Beneath the waterline
Sinking further down
I dwell in silence now
Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost
A tongue tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts
START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND
They reinforce their doubts until they draw blood
Forever more
Beneath the waterline
Sinking further down
I dwell in silence now
Forever more
I will leave this world behind
Finally I drown
I dwell in silence now
