1. D.N.R.
Lies... broken dreams
Dismal past
is there more in life...should I... know
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
DNR 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
DNR Do not resuscitate me...
DNR...
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
DNR Do not resuscitate me... DNR
2. 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't 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 me 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...I cannot help my friend help him self
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 me 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 be
I... feel...I cannot help my friend help him self
3. Low
Fuel the fire for war
It's man against mankind
Bruises that they bear
Been beaten down with time
Innocent people suffer the loss
Your broken hope so close to the cross
Sometimes, you just don't know
How low... how low you can go...
So low it's sickening
Low... Low... show some mercy...
Hey you piece of shit
Just leave the kids alone
Why can't you bear
The things that we endure
Innocent people suffer the loss
Lost hope with faith to the cross
Sometimes, you just don't know
How low... how low you can go...
Show some sympathy
Low... Low... show some mercy...
[Solo: James]
I don't like you for your warped demented ways
I hope the lock you down, so you never get away
Low... Low... show some sympathy
Low... Low... show some mercy...
4. Burnt Offerings
Summoned to the house of seance
To play the evil tarot cards
To find out what our fate will bring us
Before the war
Approaching now the hour of tiamat
Evil feelings in the air
The chosen wait impatiently
To find the rituals of power
Come out of the fire
Making the legacy known
Takes its toll at last
Now knowing when it strikes
The endless feuding shows its fate
The people are all shocked with fright
They know the end is coming near
It's time to fight
The revolution holds on strong
The armies have all met their match
Entire world up in arms
Destruction sees the spirits of anger
Come up from the gallows
Conjured my demons appear
Summoned to my cast,prey this deadly mass
Takin by the fire you fail
The world became a vast wasteland
Survivors turn to cannibals
Killing everything in sight
Warfare tonight
The armies are all closing in
The populations getting small
Feelings are as cold as ice
Survival names it's price
Starting to burn
The rape and violence grows high
A kingdom will rise
To rule with contempt
They will surprise
Kill and repent
The weakness in armies
"Won't die"
Leaving now the house of seance
Speculating destiny
Wonder if the cards were true
Will wait to find out and will wait to see
5. Into the Pit
Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne
We're all the good, the bad
The worst and the best
And where they land is their eternal rest
Foul plays of passion
At twilight's dim
In joy of woe, of good and sin
Winds of storm and fates overcast
Darkly my presence
Is now your past
Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit!
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit!
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit!
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit!
So in the sad, silent watches of night
The lonely pathway envisions my sight
Echoes of laughter
And boundless cries
So here I wander under infinite skies
Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit!
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit!
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit!
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit!
6. Trial of Fire
Accuse you of a crime
Sentenced to endless time
The price you have to pay
Won't get away!
Sworn in by the stand
Your rights are gone
The system's banned
They think you are a liar
A trial by fire
Hey!
This is what the people say,
A new way
A trial by fire!
Locked in an empty cell
Your life becomes a living hell
The river of fire flows
Time only knows!
Trapped by flames of fury
Ordered unto by the jury
Death is their desire
Thrown in the fire!
Hey!
This is what the people say,
A new way
A trial by fire!
Quiver by the fiery light
Cringing as your soul ignites
The book of law's been thrown away
Starting today!
The system before the war
Is gone for now and evermore
There is no sentence higher
A trial by fire!
Hey!
This is what the people say,
A new way
A trial by fire!
7. True Beleiver
Do you believe in the darkness below
Well I can summon them up
If you really want to know
As I tow the line
between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer
Born in sin where I pledge my evil oath
Violence is golden now
Did you really want to go
As I draw the line
between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer
True believer...
nothing can stop me now
and nothing can touch me now
True believer...
No use in praying forever shall I roam
Smoke dusted angels now
It's the only way I know
As I cross the line
between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer
Ash to ashes, Dust to dust
all I ever wanted was power of the blood
Pause, Now look what I have done
What I have become
I'm the choosen one
Never gonna take me
Never gonna change me
Never gonna escape me now...
Do you believe there is evil in my soul
One final high is the way
That I really want to go
As I cross the line
between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer
8. Eyes of Wrath
Eyes of wrath
The beast is on your back
Razorblade slice your neck
Slowly tear you down
Takes another life
To feed his bloody lust
Random crime spree attack
There's no random at all
Dead city nights
Another daughter's done
Another victim of circumstance
Took the wrong way home
Can you hear the screams
The music of the dead
A ritual of broken flesh
Annoints the silver blade
No one lives forever
There is no forever
And I'll tell you why
Rage, Rage soothes the pain
Pain, Pain soothes the rage
Lash out in anger
that never will chance
I can never escape
Rage, Rage Soothes the pain
Pain, Pain Soothes the rage
Rage, Pain
9. Over the Wall
I've been a prisoner
Trapped in by fear
Ordered for the rest of my life
Condemned in a jail cell
Ain't seen life in years
Escape is the only way out
[CHORUS :]
Restart my life
Or self destruction
To climb this wall
Of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom
That beckons me
My sanity is all but gone
My patience is growing very weak
I need to get a hold of myself
I stare at the wall
For the right time has come
Escape must occur on this night
[CHORUS :]
Stand in my way
And I'll run you straight through
There's no one to stop me now
For I'm on the loose
And I'm ready to start
Torture and hell an this town
OVER THE WALL !!!!!!!!
The search will not stop
And hounds will not rest
Till I am back in my cell
For if I am caught,I'll try it again
Over the wall I will go,I will go
[CHORUS :]
10. Props to New and Old Friends
11. Dog Faced Gods
Of dog faced gods
Through the Nile sands whisper
Of ancient times, mayfly names
Flickered and gone
The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sands whisper
Ancient times, fade into the dawn
Of dog faced gods
Manifest in the night
The sacred rights
Handed down through tiems of old
Dark words of power
Blood upon their tombs
Through incantations
Locusts fly, signaling doom
Confirm who I am
Confort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief
[Solo: James]
Of dog faced gods
Dead civilzation
Through priests of power
Invoking life of the ancient one
The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sands whisper
Travel through time to the land unkown
Confirm who I am
Confort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief
12. Disciples of the Watch
