Through Fire and Flame
06:28
|
|||
Under windswept skies we gather
With our steel and colored banners
We fix our minds upon the enemy risen
And the fields we will soon stain in crimson
As the sunsets on the barren hills
We pray and steal our minds and wills
And march to unknown, side by side now as one
But the fight has only now just begun
Our resolve will guide us the way
Through Fire and Flame we will ride
With our brothers strong by our side
We will give no quarter, we won’t back down
We won’t stop until we’ve taken the crown
We fought hard we fought endlessly
In unrelenting agony
Through rivers of blood and countless storms
We bury our dead but there’s no time to mourn
Our resolve will win us the day
Through Fire and Flame we will ride
With our brothers strong by our side
We will give no quarter, we won’t back down
We won’t stop until we’ve taken the crown
Through Fire and Flame we will ride
With our brothers strong by our side
We will give no quarter, we won’t back down
We won’t stop until we’ve taken the crown
Through Fire and Flame we will ride (we will ride)
With our brothers strong by our side (strong by our side)
We will give no quarter, we won’t back down (we won’t back down)
We won’t stop until we’ve taken the crown

Medusa

Beauty revered, worshipped in candlelight blessed by the goddess, Athena
So many came from far and wide fanning vanity’s flame in the moonlight
Posiedon, the God of the seas desecrated my soul as I laid all alone
Athena enraged, transformed me, and into the nightmare I descend
A crown of serpents upon my head
How did I fall so far?
All will fall when they suffer me
Anguished faces frozen in stone
So many heroes have come and gone
Now they stand forever alone
Horror and beauty divine
A nightmare frozen in time
A judgment or a curse or something far worse
Banished to live on this island alone
A crown of serpents upon my head
How did I fall so far?
All will fall when they suffer me
Anguished faces frozen in stone
So many heroes have come and gone
Now they stand forever alone
One of legend they call Perseus
Son of the ruler of the seas
He comes bearing weapons forged by the gods
And he’ll cut you right down to your knees
With a shield that shines like a mirror
And a sword like a razor he wields
With deception and skill he moves in for the kill
And ends your nightmares forever

Catharsis
04:51
|

For years, felt like I was drowning
Swept away, caught in the undertow
I reach for the shore but it’s all in vain
I’m just pulled deeper down as I go
Yeah Yeah
Comes a time when you reach the point
And realize you have to let it go
It’s all so cathartic
To watch the flames rise and burn it all away
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes
I’ll kill the memories, rise above the pain
There’s no point in over analysing
Let it sink in the river like a stone
So sick and tired of all the doomsday prophets
They’re tellin’ me I’ll die again today
Yeah Yeah
Tellin’ me I’ll die again today
Comes a time when you reach the point
And realize you have to let it go
It’s all so cathartic
To watch the flames rise and burn it all away
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes
I’ll kill the memories, rise above the pain
Comes a time when you reach the point
And realize you have to let it go
It’s all so cathartic
To watch the flames rise and burn it all away
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes
I’ll kill the memories, rise above the pain
It’s all so cathartic
To watch the flames rise and burn it all away
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes
I’ll kill the memories, rise above the pain

Watch the World Burn
05:02
|

While the world burns we bury our heads
Blind to the truth and better unsaid
Ignore it all but hoping for change
There’s always somewhere else to shift the blame
In the kingdom of ashes, ruled by corporate vassals
In the kingdom of ashes, ruled by corporate vassals
We bleed it all dry, till it’s an empty shell
Well past the point of return
Just pull up a chair as we languish and watch
Casually watch as the world burns
Watch the World Burn
When will we learn from our mistakes? Repeating the past, keep feeding the snakes
Could it be we deserve to fail
Every man for himself just tipping the scales
In the kingdom of ashes, ruled by corporate vassals
In the kingdom of ashes, ruled by corporate vassals
We bleed it all dry, till it’s an empty shell
Well past the point of return
Just pull up a chair as we languish and watch
Casually watch as the world burns
Watch the World Burn
Where do we go on this road to madness
We need a complete, change of perspective
Life blood is drying up fast, this last break just might be our last
We bleed it all dry, till it’s an empty shell
Well past the point of return
Just pull up a chair as we languish and watch
Casually watch as the world burns
Watch the World Burn

Outrun the Past
05:05
|
|||
Run from yourself
Keep playing this crooked game of shells
There ain’t no looking back to see
Where my demons might attack me
Just keep on movin’ ahead and reinvent again
Searching so long
For the answers in the dark
Now I’m running out of time
Oh can’t you see the signs?
You can’t outrun the past that’s right in front of you
A new town starting over again
A changed man and I’m making amends
Outrun the wreckage that always drags me deeper down
Mired in all my many past regrets
All the ghosts I’d sooner just forget
Will I ever, ever find some peace of mind?
Searching so long
For the answers in the dark
Now I’m running out of time
Oh can’t you see the signs?
It’s all revealed before you
How far can you go?
When you travel the same road
You can’t outrun the past, cause it’s a part of you
Now I’m running out of time
Oh can’t you see the signs?
It’s all revealed before you
How far can you go?
When you travel the same road
You can’t outrun the past, cause it’s a part of you
Now I’m running out of time
Oh can’t you see the signs?
You can’t outrun the past

Lost Within
07:07
|

See the echoes in your mind,
Hear shadows while you dream
Eternal beyond time,
Waiting deep inside my mind
Waiting for the night
As I decide fight or flight
Descend in my dreams
As they pull me down
Like a dying machine
I’ve lost all control
Lost…. Within
Fading…. falling
Losing myself I can’t tell dream from day
Whisper deeply in my ear
Tell me all I long to hear
He knows my secrets locked inside
The ones I try my best to hide
Bracing for the night
As I decide fight or flight
Descend in my dreams
As they pull me down
Like a dying machine
I’ve lost all control
Lost…. Within
Fading…. falling
Losing myself I can’t tell dream from day
Blurred lines of truth
Don’t recognize
My mind disputes
This clever disguise
Lost…. Within
Fading…. falling
Losing myself I can’t tell dream from day

Ghost

I have wondered for a thousand years
In this barren wasteland
Through a trial of tears
Stuck in the timeless prison
Where all beginnings end
I have wondered for a thousand years
Hear your name on the wings of the wind
Where’ve you gone why did you go?
Loneliness it suffocates deep down within my soul
There’s no night there’s no day
This pain won’t go away
I won’t rest until we are one
You’re the hear of my pain, the fire in my soul
One day I will find you but the, years are taking their toll
How long have I called out in the depths to you
Cursed to wander alone, my nightmare coming true
Where’ve you gone why did you go?
Loneliness it suffocates deep down within my soul
There’s no night there’s no day
Forgot and cast away
I won’t rest until we are one
I hear your voice calling
Is it real or just a game?
The years have twisted my mind, will I ever be the same?
I think back on the day before I lost you in the night
Torn away from my arms and taken far beyond all sight
Where’ve you gone why did you go?
Loneliness it suffocates deep down within my soul
There’s no night there’s no day
Osiris light the way
I won’t rest until we are one

Beyond
05:13
|
|||
Dreaming so long, what lies beyond
Far past what we can perceive
Into the infinite nothingness, drifting, wandering insignificant
Endless dimensions, incomprehensible
The dying light of stars shining in the dark
Life so tenuous, so ethereal
All that we are so immaterial
Through the sands of time we fall
Lost in this frozen wasteland alone
Sublime the ignorance, is life just happenstance
Will we ever understand?
At the edge of somewhere
Time itself has slipped away
We look deep into the future
Will we ever, ever find our way?
Through the sands of time we fall
Lost in this frozen wasteland alone
Sublime the ignorance, is life just happenstance
Are we just a cosmic accident?
Ever pondering, what’s the meaning of it all?
Unfathomable complexity, so much that we don’t know
How many years have we struggled in vain?
Burned it all down, start all over again
Through the sands of time we fall
Lost in this frozen wasteland alone
Sublime the ignorance, is life just happenstance
Are we just a cosmic accident?
Sublime the ignorance, is life just happenstance
Will we ever understand?

Cloak of the Night
04:05
|

In the cloak of the night
Silver skies traverse shadows
Deep within a lingering dream
Truth unravels at the seams
Symphony of the dark
Echoes call and resound
On my mind trace their mark
The king in gold bears no crown
Dreaming tales of tomorrows
Leaves me numb and hollow
Darkness crawls, shadows play upon the walls
Its unending, unrelenting
I'm slowly slipping away
From an ancient sleep now awoken
A stranger in this land so strange
Mind and soul now lay broken
Fear and despair, my foundations decay
A pallid light nightmares in the day
They keep calling, they’re calling
Out …to …me
Fear and despair, my foundations decay
A pallid light nightmares in the day
They keep calling, they’re calling
Out …to …me

Eye of the Storm
07:09
|

Plotting our course we journey far from home
Pray to Posiden for protection from the storms
Riches untold in the crumbling ruins deep
Untouched for ages under guardians keep
Somewhere in this endless night
A city lost in the void
Listen... you can hear it in the wind
The cries of the fallen echoing….
Crashing through the waves upon the frozen seas
Tattered and torn as we search for reprieve
Climbing higher we ride the cresting waves
We will drown in this watery grave
Somewhere in this endless night
A city lost in the void
Listen... you can hear it in the wind
The cries of the fallen echoing….
In the eye of the storm
We lay adrift and lost as the prophets warned
There’s a calm quickly fleeting within the eye of the storm
Screaming awakes me in the dead of the night
Our ship drawn downward as it disappears from sight
We follow their voices to the depths of the sea
Dead eyes ablaze and there’s nowhere to flee
Somewhere in this endless night
A city lost in the void
Listen... you can hear it in the wind
The cries of the fallen echoing
In the eye of the storm
We lay adrift and lost as the prophets warned
There’s a calm quickly fleeting within the eye of the storm
