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. 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 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
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
4. Low

5. 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 nearIt'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
6. 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 dimIn joy of woe, of good and sin
Winds of storm and fates overcast
Darkly my presenceIs 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
Son 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 awayInto the pit!
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit!
7. [bass solo]
8. Souls of Black
Can't you see
That in the world we live in
Political lies
Are just corporate decisions
They'll take away
All the hopes, not their promises
They'll put an end to this
Land of the livingLook at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
They got control
Of the heart of a nation
Their social tribes
Seem so graciously
As time goes by
'Cause time as you came see
Will slowly die for you and me
Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
So put an end
To this idolization
Antagonizing so commonly
Open your eyes
'Cause the lie's there so plain to see
Life goes on
There's no guarantees
Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
They're bleeding so black

12. The Legacy
We're gonna take you back
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy
I could laugh and play
And live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul
The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return
Looking at the sky
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through
Wish the sky would say
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there
Like was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same
Turn the pages back in time
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late
Like was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name

16. 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
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
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
17. Dog Faced Gods
Of dog faced godsThrough the Nile sands whisperOf ancient times, mayfly namesFlickered and goneThe blood and honeyDripping from their jawsThrough the Nile sands whisperAncient times, fade into the dawnOf dog faced godsManifest in the nightThe sacred rightsHanded down through tiems of oldDark words of powerBlood upon their tombsThrough incantationsLocusts fly, signaling doomConfirm who I amConfort all I canConceive sorceryCorrodes disbelief[Solo: James]Of dog faced godsDead civilzationThrough priests of powerInvoking life of the ancient oneThe blood and honeyDripping from their jawsThrough the Nile sands whisperTravel through time to the land unkownConfirm who I amConfort all I canConceive sorceryCorrodes disbelief
18. The New Order
Takers of humanity, elders paranoid
The time is now
Give up this world you once destroyed
Society versus the underground
Their battles fought and lost
The time has come
To rule the world at any cost
For the past it's too late
Cause the world can't control fate
Shadows cast loud and clear
Tell the world the new order's here
Cities turn to battlefields
A deadly spell is cast
Corpses falling one by one
Until the last
The preacher speaks of prophecy
So many years before
No one escapes their punishment
The gods of war
For the past it's too late
Cause the world can't control fate
Shadows cast loud and clear
Tell the world the new order's here
Death is like an empty space
Fell no thoughts of fear
The future cries
As mother nature sheds a tear
The world becomes a prisoner
A victim of its crime
The human race is now a race
Against time
For the past it's too late
Cause the world can't control fate
Shadows cast loud and clear
Tell the world the new order's here
19. Disciples of the Watch
Cast to the fire
Banned by the light
Worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mindIn his evil place
Your fate is all that you'll seeI am the one
To show you the path
Salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me
Or I'll let you pay the price
Of malachi!
Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross!
Holding the mass
The demon is cast
To resurrect your soul
Calling to himIs like an evil sin
A prophet is what they're told
Taking the land under command
Killing friend or foeFeel the might of his evil wrath
Desecrate your soul!
Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross!
Cast to the fire
Banned by the light
Worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mindIn his evil place
Your fate is all that you'll seeI am the one
To show you the path
Salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me
Or I'll let you pay the price
Of malachi!
Disciples of the watchObey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross!
