1. Hatred's Rise
Slashing through the fight before him dressed in the armor of the dead
Crossed fists can't deny the swift sword getting closer to their lair
"Follow me and I'll give you a king singing over talking
Fight with me and kill for your king, hatred was a man out to seek
Vengeance for the death of his father, for he is the one bears the mark
Of the great warrior king and no one can stop him"
Waiting for tonight, the ax swings into battle on the wall
Striking blows from life for my king - deathly victim of the blade
Stabbing and slashing when night falls they all must die
Beating and bashing with blood lust from hatred's rise
The high priest blessed the blood shed of defeat
The smell of death roams through the air
Rising flames of war shine through the night
Until the dawn the troopers storm
Stabbing and slashing, the nights gone, no one alive
Beating and bashing with blood lust from hatred's rise
2. John Doe
He died on thorazine
Lost life and any hopes
Laid him down on a bed of steel
Laid downtown at the city morgue
John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. His lost soul will never rest
He was raised as an orphan
Abuse victim as a child
Dreaming haunting memories
Made John Doe take his own life
John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. Realize that you're dead!
He, who is victimized can never grasp
Never ever knowing what is love...
He was a bitter man, an only son
Never ever knowing what is... love, no love!
Take heed to my warning
Even though I might be wrong
Fulfill life full of love
Or you'll end up just like John
John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. His lost soul will never rest
John Doe.!. A man haunted by his past
John Doe.!. Realize that you're dead
John Doe.!. John!
John Doe.!. John!
3. Riding the Snake
Caged... and riding the snake straight down from the night
True love for the fix and she never been able
One minute to kick back the feelings enticed and you know it's never the same
Venomous poison constricting your life
Life... enough of the taste
Sweet demonic night raised up on her legs
Everytime you encounter the demon your future forever is lost
While riding the snake who suffers the loss
Is there no shame.?. Is life so bad without you.?.
So far away... and I still can't fight you!
Climb... straight into the veins
Ran into the cell, straight up to the snake
And it never will ever be hidding from futures of innocence lost
Will we ever escape from the clinch of the jaws?
Drowning in pools filled with lies... filled in with pain
Watch how the serpent survives... simmering hate!
Caged... and riding the snake
Love loss for the fix
Bit down on the snake
Fate sending her back
No place to go
Will she ever change her ways?
Spent to many nights and can not take raw emotions from others...
Drowning in pools filled with lies... condemned in pain
Watch how the serpent survives... simmering hate!
4. Down for Life
When I see my brother what I see is like no other
What we had forever lost
Can't deny our friendship
Feeling like it's time to end this bad relation ripped appart
When we're young and disaranged
We didn't know it any other way
Now we're grown, he's still the same
People see him suffering
I am not about to run away
Turn my back to him in his darkest hour
Give him will to fight, antagonize his thoughts
See him through his thoughest times, purify his weakened heart
All the friends, we feel the same
The way it was back in the day
The more we change, he stays the same
Will we ever see our friend again?
I... feel... that I can not protect my friend from himself
All I've got are these lessons learned in life
The lessons I've been taught, they still remain inside my thoughts
Even as we speak as troubled as it seems
He'll always be a friend of mine - that's the way it was and always will be
When we're young and disaranged
We didn't know it any other way
Now we're grown, he's still the same
People see him suffering
I... feel... that I can not protect my friend from himself
You... can't hear what I say
Never going away
Still friends down for life
Can you still fight.?.
All I've got are these lessons learned in life
The lessons I've been taught, they still remain inside my thoughts
Even as we speak as troubled as it seems
He'll always be a friend of mine - that's the way it was and always will be
Now in the end it plain to see
What kind of friend he has been for me
All along he could never see
Who he was and always will be?
5. Demonic Refusal
You take my hand and sympathize
You felt the flesh, you realized
You took my will, now I'm deprived
Save myself, just save myself
I can not be taken unto
All that I have can not be taken
She has ways mischievous
Takes your soul in pact
Demonic chants of Manatu
Save your soul, just save your souI
I can not be taken unto
All that I feel can not be taken
A strong will is my defense
For my future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me
Yeah, he feeds on innocence
Dreams - the taste of war
Smells the fear that he has dreamt
Wake yourself, just wake yourself
I can not be taken until
All that I have can not be taken
The tarot cards on the table
They showed the future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me
I am a prisoner of fate
I'm refusing all hate
I will cast it away
I will not be a slave
You take my hand and sympathize
You felt the flesh, you felt the flesh
You took my will, now I'm deprived
Save myself, just save myself
I can not be taken until
All that I have can not be taken
The tarot cards on the table
They showed the future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me
I... in through out death I shall be
I... in through out death I shall be
6. The Burning Times
Back in time the punishment was burn
All you witches burn
Some mothers burned, burned alive
Hear the children cry...
Children crying... mothers dying
Some would die the innocent
Some would die a whore
Some so scared the children fled
Confused by this world
Why? They don't want to burn alive
Caught in the burning times
When all the witches died
Still hear the children crying
The burning times...
Some say when you float a witch
You set free their soul
I've always said: burn the bitch
My spoken words of old
Why? They don't want to burn alive
Caught in the burning times
When all the witches died
Still hear the children crying
The burning times...
Back in time the punishment was burn
All you witches burn
Some paid the price of their crimes
Caught in the burning times
Why? They don't want to burn alive
Caught in the burning times
So many people died
Still hear the children crying
The burning times...
Caught in the burning times...
7. Ten Thousand Thrones
Cast away by darkness
It's time to let you know
Voices of many soldiers
Arise ten thousand thrones
They're just turned away
They're told that they're OK
The spread of chemical warfare
Destroyed the human race
Life is darkening, sickening
Endless conscious slumber
Ten thousand thrones
Paralyzed, depression
Schizophrenic minds
New born retardation
A war they're born to fight
Life is darkening, sickening
Endless conscious slumber
Ten thousand thrones
Cancerous tumor invading the mind
~Leaving behind!~
Ashes are burning that fall from the sky
~Politically devine!~
Honor the code and defending the line
~Pretentious lies!~
The fighting of war is shattering lives
~The death of mankind!~
Why have we forgotten
A war, the holocaust?
What is the solution?
Ten thousand lives were lost
8. D.N.R.
Lies... broken dreams, dismal past
Is there more in life I should've knew?
Ending wars... ending pain
Ending of mankind is insane
And there's all the possibilities
Some will fail and some will achieve
Even though in my youth
I didn't know but what can I do
And I may not ever see
In my pain, my suffering
Can not live for the rest of my life
D.N.R. - Do not resuscitate me...
Life... lost unseen behind the mask
And with the open arms will I grasp
Open doors... open minds
Ending all the madness I hate
And I may not ever see
In my pain, my misery
Can not live for the rest of my life
D.N.R. - Do not resuscitate me.!.
-- D.N.R.
Wing of sadness will hold my prayers
All this madness will end my fears
Contempt in life, conceptualize
Wrong or right - the ending of life
-- God save me now.!.
Time... end it now, no going back
Can you see the light as you pass?
Ending wars, ending pain...
Waited all my life to be saved
And I will not ever see
All the hate and suffering
Can not live for the rest of my life
D.N.R. - Do not resuscitate me.!.
-- D.N.R.
9. 3 Days in Darkness
In a world polluted inside let's pretend the nightmare is done
From the earth the magma will rise
From the sea comes cancerous tides
The meaning of life ends in prophecy
Premonitions bring tragedy
Is the hope for humanity?
Molten fire... flies thru the sky
Burning high - eclipse of the sun
Blackened skies - rites of the night
The days in darkness in 2012
Mother earth's been withered by time
Already dead and we didn't even know it
Watch the stars to give us a sign
From above all the angels descend
The meaning of life ends in agony raped by impurites
Not chance for humanity
Molten fire... flies thru the sky
Burning high - eclipse of the sun
Blackened skies - rites of the night
The days in darkness in 2012
Magma splits the earth and shifts below
Molten lava bursts and overflow
Rise as we wait, annihilate
Burning earth pulls to the sun
Rise as we wait, obliterate
Burning earth pulls to the sun
Three days of dakness in 2012!
Mega cities still blaze in the night
Burning the ashes they choke
From the earth the magma will rise enveloped in poisonus smoke
So the meaning of life ends in prophecy
Premonitions of tragedy
Still no hope for humanity
Molten fire... flies thru the sky
Burning high - eclipse of the sun
Blackened skies - rites of the night
The days in darkness in 2012
10. Together as One
I was born into a womb so insane
Overcrowded as we share the same veins
You will not be more man than me
I will not be the other
I am the one, the chosen son
Who devours and smothers
Violence is not the way.!. What am I anyway?
Implantation as they ripped us apart
Joined together 'cause we share the same heart
You will not be more man than me
You will not be the other
I am the one, the chosen son
Who devoured his brother
Hurt.!. Help.!. Hell.!.
And now you will see...
That we will be always together as one
Always together as... one
Will not be half a man
We're joined together as... one
The dominant son, who was joined as one always wonders why
The unborn son, who lives inside his head can never die
Violence is not the way.!. Damaging vows I take
The one who was built of rage.!. Bow down before I-
Prayed forgiveness from the father above
Joined together but not bonded by love
I will not be more man than he
We will not have each others
I am the one, the burden son
Who devoured his brother
Hurt.!. Help.!. Hell.!.
And now you will see...
That we will be always together as one
Always together as... one
Will not be half a man
We're joined together as... one
11. Legions of the Dead
Chant! Incantate!
See his legions march in trace
Destroy! Desecrate!
Church of lies
The priest awaits
Paralyzed by what they believe... to be
Right in this world by fate the host of hate arose from a whirl
Sealed the earth from all it's sins, from fire that he spreads
Where's your God to save you now from the hordes of the undead?
Hear the locust roar.!.
The legions of the dead envoked in this world
The legions of the dead.!.
Envoked all hell on earth
Choked this world dead
Paralyzed by what they believe... to be
Unholy! All evil! Immortal!
Unholy! Infernal!
Unholy! All evil! Immortal!
Unholy! Infernal one!
The legions of the dead envoked all hell on earth
12. Fall of Sipledome
Melting ice beneath the waves
Frozen ice sheets slowly start to break away
Another cycle has begun
The ice is flowing, the meltdown has begun
Fall of Sipledome
The core reveals the past of a world once lost
Shifting ice plates below
Without warning inter glacial sudden death
Land of ice, free to roam
Global warming - the sea will overflow
Sheets below float in time
Arctic death, millenium
Melted ice, it floods the earth
In twenty thousand years the process will repeat
Under ice the river flows
Swiftly moving, falling earth into the sea
Death is slowly on the move
The level's rising and there's nothing we can do
Fall of Sipledome
The core revealed the past of a world once lost
Man will find the climate change
Mandatory: extinction of the human race
Apocalypse, millenium
We'll get colder to meltdown by the sun
Sheets below float in time
Arctic death, millenium
Melted ice, it floods the earth
In twenty thousand years the process will repeat
And in the end you will find:
Under the sea earth will rise
Freezing! Melting! Oceans! Rise!
Tidal waves found the shore
Destroying cities no longer can be recognised
Devastation to us all
The sea will rise and a world soon to fall
Fall of Sipledoom
The core revealed the past of a world once lost
Fall of sipledome.!.
