1. Freedom Rings
They've come to us (and) destroyed our land
The land I love, where I was born
They try to take (it) away from me
But we will stand
From the hills, to the oceans, to the mountains and the trees
The highlands are my home, where I roam, and I am free
Bound by my brothers who fight by my side
My family's name, and my country I hold high
My freedom they've taken, it's time to flee
They will bow to their knees
When you hear those pipes play
The ground will shake
Because Death is here and heeds your call
These men know no mercy and will not fall
Freedom rings throughout these clans
My forefathers fought here
This is my land
Blood and sweat bound by faith
Hold the sword high for freedom
Fight or die
When the battle clears they will reign
They will stand with swords in the air
They know what is right and will fight until they prevail
For their country and their land for God and their clan
Their cause is just, the final hour is here
When you hear those pipes play
The ground will shake
Because Death is here and heeds your call
These men know no mercy and will not fall
Freedom rings throughout these clans
My forefathers fought here
This is my land
Blood and sweat bound by faith
Hold the sword high for freedom
Fight or die
Freedom rings throughout these clans
My forefathers fought here
This is my land
Blood and sweat bound by faith
Hold the sword high for freedom
Fight or die
2. Forgotten Future
So now that you think you know me
Just the way that strangers do
A self sustaining heart's desire
The hope that I can follow though
And every night I lie awake
My mind is filled with silent screams
And every day I have to wonder
Is there more for me
And do you remember when you saw
That life was full of pain
Those unspoken words
Those well chosen lies
Will all come back again
Love
So quick to leave each other
When words don't mean a thing
Lust
So many children paying
(There) has to be a better way
Can you ever see the light
The way it comes to me
Have you ever seen
The darkness of my dreams
Nothings what it seems to be
An endless line of tragedy
Set deep within our selfish ways
Must end this masquerade
Conforming to fulfill their needs
Can only lead to misery
Now forced to face what we've become
Can't accept this change
And do you remember who you are
Not what you're supposed to be
To live your own life
To follow your dreams
Is what was meant to be
Hate
So quick to judge each other
But we are still the same
No faith
There's sorrow filling your heart
You'll never trust again
Can you ever see the light
The way it comes to me
Have you ever seen
The darkness of my dreams
Can you ever see the light
The way it comes to me
Have you ever seen
The darkness of my dreams
The weaker grow weak
The stronger grow strong
As we enter the eye of the storm
(To dust we all return)
The black and the white
Will fade into grey
The ending of time is here
3. Bloodlines
See them mourning for those slain
I had never had to be
And I could never understand
Their reasons for sorrow
I had been relieved
Standing before you now
But you seem so afraid
Days entice me to rethink my current way
I foresee our tragic fate
Lord receive my prayer
A scene of how we were
Away from each other for far too long
Holding on to our beliefs
And the fire burns within us
A question of family
And we know the time is ending
To cross the sea of infinity
And the lines begin to break
(I will not end his life)
The tears are falling down
The spirits of both sides
(We will find peace and here we die)
Our souls' desire
All this time I've hated and denied my bloodlines
I have seen the future
It looks black to me
I can't ask them to separate me now
You can believe in life
You can't believe in fate
We are victims of time as we're grasping for moments
Hoping for more than a day
And with silence speaking clearly
And the scene of tranquility's doomed
And the light plays the thief
And the sun wakes
And the lines begin to break
(I will not end his life)
The tears are falling down
The spirits of both sides
(We will find peace and here we die)
Our souls' desire
4. Last Gathering
Now the tale will finally be sung
Of wars lost and battles won
Show me all the war torn lands
Cradled in immortals' hand
I sense the shadow search over me
The sun sets and souls depart
The life we live is just a game
Played by the warrior's heart
Our lives are veiled in secrecy
Because of fear
I feel the power in the air
The storm is here
Memory is fading, fate is gaining
Death rides swiftly by my side
No more sorrow, no tomorrow
Today is the last gathering
From my past, my future comes
Rain washes fear away
Storm wind blows to cleanse our souls
And steel aids the line we will hold
The lightning blazes across the sky
Their eyes are so empty
We fight with pride, we fight with might
Under the curtain of night
Our lives are veiled in secrecy
Because of fear
I feel the power in the air
The storm is here
Memory is fading, fate is gaining
Death rides swiftly by my side
No more sorrow, no tomorrow
Today is the last gathering
Our lives are veiled in secrecy
Because of fear
I feel the power in the air
The storm is here
Memory is fading, fate is gaining
Death rides swiftly by my side
No more sorrow, no tomorrow
Today is the last gathering
5. Garden of Memories
All of my life I've wondered
Are you there watching over me
Am I on the right road
Am I all I'm supposed to be
Why do I waste so much time
Not wanting to be here
Instead of living life just how I should be
And never finding answers
I dwell in misery
Why do I linger here
Lay all your dreams and fears to rest
In this Garden of Memories
All the thoughts you never shared
Will stay here
Please tell me I'm a good man
Tell me those words I want to hear
It's so hard to accept this
Living a life that's meant for you
And though my soul is my own
I live with thoughts of two
Ever wondering, why am I here
And will I always question
What has been given (to) me
Why was I chosen over you
Lay all your dreams and fears to rest
In this Garden of Memories
Though I'm filled with sorrow
Your passing brought me life
Mother dear mother
Wipe those tears of pain away
I'm here beside you
To stay forevermore your child
Father my father
I am the loss you felt that day
The emptiness that grew inside
Can be healed
My brother in my weakness
I am calling out to you
I have to know, I need to know
Just tell me, please tell me
(Why)
Is this life worth the pain
Have all my years been spent in vain
My Brother live each precious day
And peace will find you
You will see
"This song was written for my family
in remembrance of Jason Daniel."
-Chris Parrish
6. From Shadowed Places
Sealed for ages
The Earth is changing
See the future
From the dark they came
Blinding light, surrounded by night
Blind I step to the edge
As I walk before (me) I see
There are shadows between
Two worlds, Light and Dark
They are separate but chained
As I wake, what does it mean
I should've seen... signs
Abandon the warrior's code
They have fallen to their knees
And begged for mercy
Their eyes are piercing
Through the veil of light
My darkest nightmare
Has come to be
My final nightmare
Has come for me
When the day has come
Will this curse be lifted
(The battle rages on)
And now that we know what they are
The night has come again
Now, it has come clear to me
Through the ages all have failed
Who've shared my dreams
Tonight their dark scheme
Steals my world from me
My darkest nightmare
Has come to be
My final nightmare
Has come for me
When the day has come
Will this curse be lifted
And now that we know what they are
Still they come from shadowed places
Now my reign is over
With my kingdom laid waste
Prophecies of torture
Ignored too long
And the sands of time
Have slipped away...
