1. Day of Reckoning
Like a message in a wicked dream, disaster comes from afar
In a vision like you've never seen, the prophet wears the scar
The sun will turn into darkness and the moon will be covered in blood
Day of disaster is coming and it won't be too long
The armies gather on the desert plain
In the Valley of the Kings
Waging war in the Neverland
On the Day of Reckoning
Woe to the nations of idols, shedding innocent blood
Where will you run in your time of need, when the wrath will fill your cup?
The stars are no longer shining, you better prepare to fight
Fire from heaven is raining and there's no where to hide
The armies gather on the desert plain
In the Valley of the Kings
Waging war in the Neverland
On the Day of Reckoning
Nothing left will remain but the captives and the slain
In the last of the days between fire and grace
Don't you know that the mountain will rise?
Like a message in a wicked dream, disaster comes from afar
In a vision like you've never seen, the prophet wears a scar
In Mysteries of Babylon, distress, desolation and waste
The prophecy has come and gone, is the warning too late?
The armies gather on the desert plain
In the Valley of the Kings
Waging war in the Neverland
On the Day of Reckoning
2. Kill the Machine
The masses consumed by this culture of greed
Enslaved by a ravenous breed
Industrial ties, corporate disguise
Society lies at their feet
Oh, Kill the Machine
Oh, Kill the Machine
A global agenda, supply and demand
Force fed distractions and lies
Political chains of injustice remain
As the edge of humanity dies
Kill the Machine
We must kill the Machine
We must rise above the hypocrisy
The system is holding us down
We must break the spell of complacency
Let the hammer fall, so we can be free
The digital gods hang from the sky
Planting each thought by design
Controlling the commerce and steering the wealth
As new waves of technology climb
Yea, Kill the Machine
Oh, We must kill the Machine
We must rise above the hypocrisy
The system is holding us down
We must break the spell of complacency
Let the hammer fall, so we can be free
3. Standing
People of the World
Rise up hear my words
You are the one who must carry the cross
You are the one to defy your masters
Breaking the spell you were cast into
Shatter the mold you were forced to believe
Rulers of the Earth
Revolution is on your hands
You are the one who deceives the masses
Asleep at the wheel unaware of the madness
Concealing the daggers edge behind a veil of deception
We are standing on the edge of a new world
We are standing on the edge of a new world
Cry out to the world
The vision will be heard
We are the ones who will carry the burden
We are the ones who will conquer the empire
We're on a mission to fight for a new beginning
Welcome to the New World
Welcome to the New World
4. We Are One
We have ignored all the signs
Humanity has lost its way
The power is within us to turn back the tide
And liberate ourselves if we can unite
This is the war that we must fight!
The old way is dead; the past must be left behind
We can never be the same again
A new life begins, no more lies to hold us down
We will be free when we can see we hold the key
Reach for the light, children of the sun
And open your eyes revolution has begun
Reach for the light, children of the sun
It's our battle cry - we are one!
Ten thousand years of war and tears, a legacy of fear
Killing in the name of God never asking why
Can we rise above the lies, can we break the chains
The flame that burns inside will show us the way
Reach for the light, children of the sun
And open your eyes, now is the time
Reach for the light, children of the sun
It's our battle cry - we are one!
We are one!
We can never look back
We must never be enslaved again
Reach for the light, children of the sun
And open your eyes, we must believe
Reach for the light, children of the sun
The time is now - we must unite!
We are one!
We are one!
5. Open Your Eyes
If the eyes are the window to the soul
Then the life that you lead is a mirror showing you
You must find the way
You, alone, must make the change
You've got to open your eyes and realize
You've got the power to change
Open your eyes and you will find
That the truth will remain
Creation slowly dying in a world unaware of its shame
With the sun evil rises, another day to suffer its pain
I know, yes I know that freewill is at your command
Can't you see, reality, an illusion, a spiritual game
I hear a voice calling out in the distance
It's calling my name
Waking up my unconscious mind
You've got to open your eyes and realize
That there's nothing to fear
Open your eyes and you will find
That the truth will appear
No possessions but your heartbeat, your entrance into this cruel world
Tell me what will matter as you wander the ends of the earth
Isolation, revelation, your obsession with the specters of power
The aura of human majesty, this is your waking hour
I hear a voice calling out in the distance
It's calling your name
Your destiny lies in the palm of your hand
You've got to open your eyes and realize
You've got the power to change
Open your eyes and you will find
That the truth will remain
Open your eyes and realize
There's nothing to fear
Open your eyes
The truth will appear
6. Pantheon
7. Code of Life
Technology a gross manifestation
Quest for power, an endless temptation
The decline of man, an abomination
The altar of greed, the perfect consummation
The code of life lives only to survive
Worshipping the fire we will are slaves to the lie
Corrupting your mind with ruthless ambition
Blinding your eyes, killing the spirit's condition
The faces of death, deluded and vain,
Seduced by the power, illusion rules the game
The code of life lives only to survive
Worshipping the fire we will always rise
Buried in the ashes, the last remnants of the world
The code of all creation will rise up once again
The code of life will survive
The code of life will survive
The code of life will survive
The code of life will survive
8. Soul Survivor
Calling out to Earth
I know something is terribly wrong
No contact, no transmission
No signs of life to tell me what's going on
Washed upon the shore
I'm staring across the wasteland
Dark skies, eerie silence
Am I the only one left alive?
Am I the Soul Survivor?
Soul Survivor
Thoughts are racing through my mind
Is this the same planet that I left behind?
What we all feared has happened here
Or have I returned at another point in time?
I feel so all alone
So distant from the human race
Unable to cope, can't hear me scream
Just a shell of a man with a need to escape
I am the Soul survivor
Soul Survivor
I am the Soul Survivor
Soul Survivor
9. The Endless Beginning
Sail across the heavens, the cross of the divine
Document the ages and leave them all behind
Searching for the meaning, the ashes turn to clay
The silence must be broken, those who know do not say
As we climb the temples of time
The illusion of a mystery untold
Paralyzed, face to face with the signs
The pieces of the puzzle are found inside
The Endless Beginning
See the future in the past
The gates of truth are opened
And the walls of time collapse
Casting distant shadows, a cold eternal gaze
The message in the matter, an ancient twisted maze
Caught between the pages, shining in the light
The purpose is the meaning, the reason for the fight
As we climb the temples of time
The illusion of a mystery unfolds
Paralyzed, face to face with the signs
The pieces of the puzzle are deep inside
The Endless Beginning
See the future in the past
The gates of truth are opened
And the walls of time collapse
On the edge of the horizon, in the circle of the earth
The dynasty of kingdoms and kings
Rest inside the chamber, in the place of destinies
The eyes of eternity
The Endless Beginning, the cross of the divine
The silence must be broken, the truth can be found if you open your mind
Dare to watch as the legends unwind
Secrets and visions come true
Lost to the earth and never to find
The answer to the question is bound by
The Endless Beginning
See the future in the past
The gates of truth are opened
And the walls of time collapse
The Endless Beginning
See the future in the past
The gates of truth are opened
And the walls of time collapse
10. The Fools' Theme
Empty and surreal, this ceaseless domain
Nothing here is what it seems
The teacher exposed, a master to a slave
Level upon level to obtain
The blind will be leading the blind
The battle controlling your mind
The all seeing eye, an eternal reign
The symbols have faded away
The fool will never die, living in a dream
Where the locks will refuse him the key
The blind will be leading the blind
Distorting the spirit's design
Confusion is the lie, weakness is the sin
No more mortal remains
An enigma to behold, the answer to all games
A path that has no return
The blind will be leading the blind
Deceiving the hearts of mankind
The Fool, The Fool
Don't get lost like the fool
There's no return for the fool
The Fool, The Fool
11. Insignificance
12. Retribution
Running from your life there's no escape
Emptiness and anguish fill this never ending void
Condemned to a brutal place, adapting to survive
All you know is left behind, your shadow lost in time
The pleasure in the pain
The glory of the insane
Retribution
Retribution
Sorrow and pity scar the mind
Anger and hatred only amplify the pain
Devastated, losing all you own
On the edge you contemplate, naked and alone
The pleasure in the pain
The glory of the insane
Endless torture, hatred fills my veins
Demanding recognition, justice will be claimed
The pleasure in the pain
The glory of the insane
Running from your life there's no escape
Vengeance burns inside, tearing at my soul
Retribution
Retribution
Retribution
Retribution
