What transpired in the night How long would I have to hide? Perplexed in vexing obscurity Unclear, it happened suddenly Down it shown The spotlight's glow Quiet I stare into the crowd "Start the show," they cry A fire raised in their eyes Danced in the dark of the event I'm afraid but I don't show it The mob is set loose to feed The hunger bleeds From their teeth Feral dogs roam the streets Parades and applause All hope is lost Now I know Even though Silent the crowd stares back at me And so I run onto the front lines Unhidden from the wings Powerful at center stage What will the future bring?

Fail 05:48
lyrics

Still life, heart beat Trapped in a moment Enraptured by the glass Stole their beating heart Prison of cycles Freedom in pain Fearful beholden They were not the same Free me I just want to be I just want to see But you won't let me I scream out to you But you make me mute Lied and confuse Twist the truth Leave me alone This is not your home I am not yours to use The terror screen is cutting black The sirens scream of the attack The fallout shelters are no use Where, then, do we run? I never asked for this life This pain or this strife I must make the most of this gift The pain takes me away The fear comes to play I cannot see straight but I keep running Oh God it's the end The smell's on the wind I cannot believe it happened like this The heart will fail The hart will fail The heart will fail Hart will fail The heart will fail The hart will fail The heart will fail Fail you They're coming for me My heart skips a beat The sound of the cannon Falls at my feet I am not afraid I will not retreat Do you worst In silence I'll bleed

Unfounded land Here I stand Slow spins the world in its place Time is cruel Broken rules The hours drift deep into space But time drags on Aimed like a loaded gun The tears flood the earth The blood stains it deep To the ground it returns Dark below our feet Transcendent transgression Conscripted obsession Words can be a weapon The enemy of our mind The box unlocked by patterned lines Waves cascade unto the mind Dichotomy intertwined The colors left me blind

Fight 05:19
lyrics

The cold, the cold wind it blows It covers the land in shadow But I carry on, will not cry or be lost Because I, I know which way I go The sun has withdrawn it shining light The moon established its night But I'm not afraid or ashamed To be here in this fear In the dark, in my part of this nightmare Now the time has come The time has come to run We cannot stay here The mouth of the beast gnashes its teeth The gaping maw slams its jaw Speak what they want to hear Oh the fury is coming The sky will be ripped open Far from the night are the stars from the sky Hit the ground and the sound will blind the eyes Weep from the stair to the field The earth would not yield Time passed us by As the sky turned to black And then the attack The knives in our back I'm coming I'm coming Hold on Hold on Time's not long The final song Will be heard The final word Now is the time to fight The time to fight and to die We cannot lay down The crowd in the street stomp their feet The screaming mob cries for blood Oh lost and never found

Freedom 03:39

Carry on Nothing, nothing, nothing Seems to stay the same Anyway I am the same I never change Time goes on The sky reigns empty And time can never mend The hours pass away I see in the mind of me Something that can never be I scream but nothing is said Broken beyond repair Nothing we can do to heal the tear The time has come One day this will all pass away No longer will we be slaves To this place or time Loose my chains Free my mind And my soul Take me away Set me free I want to be...

Artifice 04:04
lyrics

Salt the wound Burn the bodies Everything came into view What was shown to you? But what was shown to you? The stars in space The eyes are staring Satellites are drifting through Shining just for you Synthetic shining hue Where will you run to When the sky comes crashing down The art of this artifice Distorted RGB crown No cold no warm utter darkness Nothing here to cast a shape Empty void of space Substance long erased Hear the fear transient image Directed through static haze Building up the fake Artificial take Rainbow eyes in disguise Shining for the world to see Look upon our image The artifice of the screen We built this with our blood God forgive us for what we've done...

Victory 03:35
lyrics

Dim the sky hangs lonely Empty in this moment Starless and infinite black Night falls across the blurry mountains Missing in these hours Lost in the halls of time Here I am Waiting for you Am I running late Or am I too soon... One two three four I say bow and they will obey me Because they have no control I am cautious as I pass through dark trees Sorrow within the boughs Quiet and still as the wind fills the air The silence surrounds me A glimpsing of peace in the midst of the moment Kneel as I surrender to the power I feel Victory I seize in This golden moment's reason Quiet as I stand tall Here in the reaping season Beyond the chilling freeze of The cold of death's cruel claw

Something To Say 05:03

I've something to say So stay out of my way Fierce, consumed, the sky it fades But I push through Let them come to battle Their armies and their hordes Bring the war I am ready to fight I move through the darkest night We take flight Time is on my side I call the rain, come down again I'm pushing through I have no time for you The hour's late Can feel the weight So tear it down I say Terror bound I call to thee Come down to me This is the end, I know The final show The locusts' flight Fills the sky Let them come I call you forth Power of a storm The hour is near I'll have no fear When Jesus is here

Deep 05:45

I was so alone, I felt so afraid Confused in despair: I was betrayed Drowning in the deep black sea Water so dark I could not see Down I went into the ice I couldn't feel the sting Deeper, deeper, deeper Then you came and grabbed my wrist Pulled me from the black abyss You gave me life Saved me from the night I stand here with you Blood bound forever unto Onward toward the endless dawn Across the crystal sea To the place where time stands still Forever we shall be Where nothing ever wilts away And nothing ever fades Where time and death have no grasp And we lose count of the days

Blood 05:00

Where are we in this time after time Forsaken, without reason or rhyme Broken, ashamed Without a name God help us So lost in the fog Where are you It's been so long I'm not afraid I see through you While you're exposed I know that you see me too I tremble Tearful I know it's going to hurt But fear will make it worse The ground cried out The blood was shed crimson red But time's not ours to seize Power, blood up to my knees Rain down on me

Burn 04:45

Headlights in the broken rain Scream of thunder cascades in the shadow of harrowing pain Total chaos as the world descends Into the utter darkness of the end One, two, three, four, you've been warned This is the sound of the alarm Cowards in their towers watch the world end Fools that really think it won't get to them Burn it down oh burn it down burn it down The towers, oh the towers fall to the ground Showers of static arcs, screech and crack Let it burn, oh let it burn, don't look back Oh Babylon, how thou hast fallen, Your world's been set on fire Wheels black the sky and how will you survive I know your heart's desire Bring it down bring it down It must be laid to rest This is the end, and know we will win We are not bound by death BURN, BURN, BURN BURN, BURN, BURN BURN, BURN, BURN BURN, BURN, BURN

I Am Not You 04:18

No one knows no one sees Blind dark of the wicked breeze Pale in the shade of the tall trees The lion sleeps beneath Look to the west at the bird in the nest Fires rage high as the smoke descends What on earth could have caused this? The lion wakes beneath It is time Cometh down the dark Leave us to our end Run I will not walk Come then if you dare Touch me, though be aware I am not you I am not you I call you forth: the end Bring it all back home I am ready to face this Come forth and end this show Drop the curtain closed I am ready to go home Smoke blinds their eyes The walk through the fire Burn the soles of their feet Callused and alone Their homes are all gone There is nothing left to retrieve

Truth 05:23

Hope forgotten in the fog As I travel on I hold on to this truth Go far away from me No where left to see Below the icy sea Frozen in this truth Stolen in my youth Yesterday is gone away I wish I wish that I could go Escape this evil show Only then I'd know... But I know the truth I have the proof All that's left behind A litany of lies Time forsake me not again I am without an end For me the rules can bend Left, forgotten in this fog Don't leave me for too long I must carry on somehow The hour will come when we must run When I must run so far away From this place, this space, erased, from my mind Close my eyes to the pain Blinded in the rain, the shame, the time Eclipsed by the dark of the sky I cry Left out in the rain, the icy rain I wait for you to come home

I'm waiting, I'm waiting I'm trapped in a dark place I stand here What do I do I'm standing at your door Have I been here before How long Lord, must I wait Every door opens another Another And every door closes again Time will not wait for you to get ready Thrust out into the world I'm tired so tired I'm tried and battle-worn I just want Just want to go When will you save me How long will I wait here I've been so alone Waiting for you alone

Black 04:28

In the valley of decision Cut down in our place Weep our admission Taste of a bitter fate Our crippled hands reach up to you Damned in our reproof Black hearts beat in symphony Only failure in our view What have we done? What have we done? This is the shape of Things to come Out of the ground we stick our little root Reach up to the sky the wilting of our fruit Buried in the ash our head wears a little gash The garden laid to bare the grinding teeth we gnash Rejected by the light confusion we are blind Standing on our heads hands red from bloodshed We scream to the sky the sun black no light Confusion we die our minds could not conceive

Fear 04:49

Floating weightless among my dreams Lost out deep in to my vision's sea Overwhelmed despair I scream into the abyss Reach out to the clouds I fall into the mist Sorrow upon sorrow Sore upon sore I cannot bear the weight Of this tragedy anymore End this show The third act, then close Drop down the curtain Let loose the ropes The day feels so far away The bleeding won't stop... Forgive me my apathy I'm tired, and I cannot see ahead of me... I feel the walls closing in The clock strikes the end I can smell the fear Like a specter enraptured in the air I'm so afraid

One by one we're all brought down Deep into the arms of death Buried far into the ground In that day we'll rest The armies moving single file Marching of their feet keeps time Bodies in the streets are piled There is no reason why We are so afraid on this: the darkest day Alone and broken, our spirit weak: we pray Let it crumble to dust Falling towers of rust Disillusioned all thought Everything will come to naught Bring your armies to war Burning blood and the gore Oh my god it's time I am not afraid to die Locked up by the overlords Beheaded claimed by the sword We are not afraid of you We are not afraid Strung up, hung out to die Black crows pluck out our eyes We are not afraid of you We are not ashamed You have done this Build up to tear down everything Workers of iniquity You will too feel death's sting Brought to the gallows tree Drowned in your treachery Deep into a bloody sea Oh the horror that will be Wind it carries the dust Towers falling to rust Endless tears will be wrought Everything will come to naught

Kingdom Come 05:37

I am a fire Lift me higher I want to reach the day An end to this pain Call down the rain I want to see it washed away Get out of my mind I don't have the time To fight this fight I fight I don't want to believe Something to deceive A dream, confusion, a lie Begone from me I see The serpent beneath my feet Your power is no more Crushed on the floor Get thee behind me So rain down the fire Bring this world to it's bitter close My strongest desire light this fire The hour is getting so close Open the door I want to see The end of everything I want to be Light this fire in me Brought forth to do a great thing Kingdom come I call you forth Bring your power to this earth The kings of this world Have fallen to spoil Tell me what it was worth Kingdom come
