1. Intro
2. Blood Culture
Rising out from the desert
Mana - from heaven like snow
Blood plagues the sands of the desert
Carnage is all I know
Hell's fires rage in the desert
A white flash of light proves this so
Sand melts to glass in the desert
And violence is all I know
The carnage and the chaos bleed through the wall
For all the world to see
This blood,
It stains my culture,
It drips down my throat
And takes control of me
Blood reigns from high in Golgotha
The sacred land buried in death
Reincarnate my body
Sacrifice all of the rest
The carnage and the chaos bleed through the wall
For all the world to see
This blood,
It stains my culture,
It drips down my throat
And takes control of me
3. Beneath the Skin
I can see - everything inside
I can see desire - this trail of blood it leads to you
Hide inside the liar - it yields a different point of view
Beneath the skin,
A parasite has gone
Inside me, and lives strong,
Alone it dies a useless leech.
Cast yourself in fire,
It wields a concrete sense of truth
A very voluntary action puts you in forefront lines
A decoration with no purpose, taxes my sanity
Beneath the skin,
A parasite has gone
Inside me, and lives strong,
Alone it dies a useless leech.
Cast yourself in fire,
It wields a concrete sense of truth
A very voluntary action puts you in forefront lines
A decoration with no purpose, taxes my sanity
Now see the leech, in darkness
Now see the truth, untold
Then see the leeches perish
And watch the truth unfold
4. Visions From the Past
Rise,
By my fate
And die by my hate
Lies, fueled my rage
Inside,
Is this war we wage
This retribution has become my fate
And soon you’ll see, what’s yet to be
The death of compassion is mine
The threat of diffusion will be thine
This sudden fury has filled my circumjacence with rage and hate
Waking up my dormant
Visions from the Past
Shall sow dark seeds of vengeance
Here to stay at last
I can see the future
And it’s darkened by the last
Waking of my dormant
Visions from the past
Repeat from Line 4
5. Vlad
Listen close and you will see,
This life of pain and misery,
Just as was foretold,
My heart has grown cold,
My sins have condemned me - my story untold
My kingdom-the throne,
All came to be known for those who denied,
Count thousands - they died,
Those not who hailed,
Or those who failed - all met their fate,
They all were impaled
This blood that I draw,
This blood that I dine - In the eyes of this world,
The failure is mine
My Corpse it decays,
But my soul - it stays and wanders the world,
Still I remain
The virgins I raped,
Their flesh that I ate,
Their corpses I kept - I laughed when they wept
I tore out their hearts,
Consumed all their parts,
And bathed in their blood,
Then stuck them in mud
The Holy Decree,
Came down unto me,
They stripped me of my royalty
My throne twas gone,
Now I am a pawn,
Trapped in this tower,
And dreading dawn
This blood that I draw,
This blood that I dine - In the eyes of this world,
The failure is mine
My Corpse it decays,
But my soul - it stays and wanders the world,
Still I remain
Repeat
6. Time Scar
When I die,
I hope that I,
Leave a scar across time
But, I cannot remember why I came
And you cannot recover from my pain
When the Blood,
Was shed,
It blinded us, (Scarring Time)
My own death - met with a smile,
That is mine
When I die,
I know I'll find,
All the lies you hid behind
Won't you,
Come to see clearly the dreams you hide
As You become more weary,
I hope you die
When the Blood,
Was shed,
It blinded us, (Scarring Time)
Rise,
The sun,
Was scalding us, (Scarring Time)
My own death - met with a smile,
That is mine
When the blood was shed,
It blinded us, (Scarring Time)
We came to seek a savior but instead WE found TIME
Rise,
The sun,
Was scalding us scarring time
My, Own death met with a smile, that is mine
7. Fire Hardened
Valiant,
I ride - with honor and pride in soul
Seeking my vengeance,
I venture into the unknown
Battle engages and kindles the rage in my soul - fire - hath taken me to the unknown
Can we, rejoice, with thee enemy?
Save the extols for the end
Guiding light - we come, by God's hand
Fear Not, for Victory is close at hand
No singing,
No laughing,
The rejoice is over
For we once again engage
Piercing and Slaying,
I mask my emotion
The violence, it kindles my rage
All this fire that fuels the battlefield burns inside me,
While it calls my name
Rude or valiant - I shall overcome - and this hatred,
It stays the same
I will not die today
As long as, you show me the way
Anger and scorn,
They make me feel torn inside
I long up above,
For the one whom I love by my side
A star in the skies,
Peers into my eyes and my soul
I become filled, from the blood that I've spilled on my toll
I shall return without a concern for my fate - fire - Hardened By battle - I Ride
Hardened by fire,
I return to battle, in rage
My honor is yet to be gained by the steel of my blade
I swear my allegiance, to follow one who knows
My Fate - I sacrifice all of my joy
All this fire that fuels the battlefield burns inside me,
While it calls my name
Rude or valiant - I shall overcome - and this hatred,
It stays the same
I will not die today
As long as, you show me the way
