1. Eerie Inhabitants
A world of chaos, a world of fear
A world of anger and corruption
When all is lost and millions starve
Is this humanity's destruction?
~Life!~ A game that people play
~Cryout!~ Will they see another day?
No one help us; the children pray
Nobody listens to their crying
This great depression - when will it end?
To live like this is worse than dying
~Life!~ A game that people play
~Cryout!~ Will they see another day?
Your destiny is over, your fate has declined
Refuse to discover what so many could find
Death's endless toil as I long for rest
Life's now forsaken, condemned to repress!
No sign of heaven, no sign of hell
Just the sign of pain and sorrow
This generation inhabits all
To form an order for tomorrow
~Life!~ A game that people play
~Cryout!~ Will they see another day?
2. 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
3. Trial by 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!
4. 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!
5. Hypnosis (instrumental)
6. Disciples of the Watch
Cast to the fire, banned by the light worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind, in his evil place your fate is all that you'll see
I 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 him is like an evil sin - a prophet is what they're told
Taking the land under command killing friend or foe
Feel the might of his evil wrath desecrate your soul!
Disciples of the watch ~obey!~ or I'll burn you to that cross!
Disciples of the watch, disciples of the watch... watch...
Obey.!.
Cast to the fire, banned by the light worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind, in his evil place your fate is all that you'll see
I 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!
Disciples of the watch...
7. The Preacher
The Preacher!!!
In days of old when the books were untold
Speak of a world crushed by sin
"The people will mourn of a war to be born"
Nobody would listen to him
Think back in time when the future you find
Is so faint that it's too hard to see
Don't disavow his word for the truth must be heard
'Cause the preacher tells visions he sees
In 1906 like the future predicts
The city will crumble to the bay
Then what's in store when the worlds go to war?
Peace will have come another day
Then came the one in the year of '41
Warfare would light up the sky
He beckoned the call of the future for all
Blinded by what's in his eyes
In days of old when the books were untold
Speak of a world crushed by sin
"The people will mourn of a war to be born"
Nobody would listen to him
Think back in time when the future you find
Is so faint that it's too hard to see
Don't disavow his word for the truth must be heard
'Cause the preacher tells visions he sees
Listen to these words I preach
Catastrophic lessons they shall teach...
8. Nobody's Fault (Aerosmith cover)
Lord, I must be dreamin' - what else could this be?
Everybody's screamin', runnin' for the sea
Holy lands are sinkin', birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinkin' drunk - I know the reason why
Eyes are full of desire, mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire, shit piled up to the knees
Out of rhyme or reason; everyone's to blame
Children of the season, don't be lame
Sorry, you're so sorry, sorry
Man has known and now he's blown it
Upside-down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job and now they say it's nobody's fault
Old St. Andres seven years ago
Shove it up their richters; redlines come and go
Noblemen of courage, listen with their ears
Spoke but how discouragin' - no one really hears
One of these days you'll be sorry
Too many houses on the stilt
Three million years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt
Out of rhyme or reason; everyone's to blame
Children of the season, don't be lame
Sorry, you're so sorry, sorry
Man has known and now he's blown it
Upside-down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job and now they say it's nobody's fault
Eyes are full of desire, mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire, shit piled up to the knees
California showtime, five o'clock's the news
Everybody's concubine was prone to take a snooze
Sorry, you're so sorry, sorry
Man has known and now he's blown it
Upside-down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job and now they say it's nobody's fault
9. A Day of Reckoning
First there came a mass - a brilliant lights of flash
All across the president's skies as he sits and laughs
He preaches non-conformity
I don't think they see they live for him and what he believes
-- A wrath of misery
Left to die alone in their living past
As he takes their lives away to never get it back
No more need for society
All the lives he took - the fault of the law and majority
-- Rules in an open book
Leave me alone! Don't take it away:
A place where I know they're destined to take away
Now the lives they lead are left to broken dreams
Just when they thought they had it all - life's not what it seems
He preaches non-conformity
I don't think they see they live for him and what he believes
-- A life of misery
Leave me alone! Don't take it away:
A place where I know they're destined to take away
Don't take away... society ~day by day!~
There'll come a day ~day by day!~
You're gonna pay ~day by day!~
A day of reckoning! ~Day by day!~ A day of reckoning!
You're all gonna pay, ha-ha-ha! You can't get away
10. Musical Death (A Dirge) (instrumental)
