01. Watch It Burn - Lyrics:

No longer on your side
No longer within your prison
No longer here to speak
With a positive spin on society

So sick of your politics
So sick of your fading religions
So sick of the endless lies
That ignite and divide, it's homicide

This is the reason
Your walls are coming down

Did you even hear a word I said?
Torch it all, torch it all
Did you even hear a word I said?
Watch it burn

The writing's on the wall
Watch it burn

So tired of your ignorance
So tired of your passing trends
So tired of your predictive script
You're all dead inside

So tired of your predictive script
You're all dead inside

It was supposed to be better than this
Can you imagine why?
The path of no return
Has killed all reason to believe

A paradox in the vow you've taken
Engulfed in your own world
The tried and true are now unspoken
God save you all

Did you even hear a word I said?
Torch it all, torch it all
Did you even hear a word I said?
Watch it burn

The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
Watch it burn

Can you imagine why?
The writing's on the wall
We're all paralyzed
Ours has died

Paralyzed, hope has died
Paralyzed, our hope has died
Our hope has died, our hope has died
Our hope has died, our hope has died
Our hope is dead

Burn your eyes on our setting sun
Burn out your eyes.

02. Ruination Of The Lost - Lyrics:

Like the blade that clipped the wings
And the plague that's drenched the wind
It's now our blood in the rising flood

Resentless, all conquering Terra
Demon's breath will that
And drown all faith and light

Blackened clouds bestow our plight
Raped and marred for their opulence, opulence
She can and will erase, she will erase

This loss, contagious
Bury us blood, bury us blood
Befallen on the masses
Bury us in blood

Besieged by the coming infliction
Forever blinded by ignorance
Forgotten steps we've sealed our own fate

Ignored and jeered the vast warnings
Demon's breath awakes, demon's breath awakes
She can and will erase, erase

This loss, contagious
Bury us blood, bury us blood
Befallen on the masses
Bury us in blood

Ruination of the Lost
Befalls the masses
Burial us blood

This loss, contagious
Bury us blood, bury us blood
Befallen on the masses
Bury us in blood.

03. Shadows In The Light - Lyrics:

Turn it off, turn it off
I Won't make that mistake
I've been down this road before

Think again, think again
I will not compromise
Won't compromise anything

Beat down, at the end of my rope
Beat down, can't stand these changes
Beat down, headfirst I take on survival, survival

Try to tear my down
I won't hesitate to stand face to face with my worst enemy

Standing tall in the face of defeat
Go it alone at my discretion
The hammer falls whenever my will says it does, I promise you

I've fallen all too far, obsession with the shadow in the light
This constant war will lead me home
This constant war will force me onward

Try to tear me down, headfirst I take on survival

I fell all too far, obsession with the shadow in the light
I'm at a constant war, yet this strife has carried me to my home

I've fallen all too far, tear me down
Lost in the shadows in the light, tear me down

Only word
It's been a lifetime of fueled obsessions, a promise kept is my only word
Only word

Lost in the shadows in the light, tear me down

A promise kept is my only word
Only word, it will be kept
I promise you.

04. Eyes Of Black - Lyrics:

Fall into line upon creation
There is hell to pay
Fall into line, life of the mundane
There is hell to pay

Time, our vengeful warden
Existence brings forth pain and loss
Make head of all the costs
For your end is drawing near

Your end is drawing near

Through all I've seen
These eyes have turned to black
Stonewalled as my credence falls
These eyes have turned to black

Fall into line, death and disease
There is hell to pay
Shatter this life, all consuming
There is hell to pay

Through all I've seen
These eyes have turned to black
Stonewalled as my credence falls
These eyes have turned to black

The end is drawing near
Forever black
Your end is near

Through all I've seen
These eyes have turned to black
Stonewalled as my credence falls
These eyes have turned to black

Forever black.

05. Last Wish - Lyrics:

This life will soon come to an end
I'll leave my convictions

Day by day
I feel this life slipping away
Much further away
I know I've lost it all

Hold out your hands
And take me from my misery
There's no coming back from this
I'll never wake

I'll never wake, I never

I never wanted to leave you all
I never wanted to leave this life
Nothing can save my now
No one can save me

I was left with no choice

Freedom, my last wish to be
Held on all I could
Free me from this misery
You know I'll never wake.

06. Arise The War Cry - Lyrics:

We must battle on
Through barren lands and waste
While there is still light of day

Allegiance to the cursed and tortured ways
To plain sight we sow the seeds for apathy
Bury us in our sorrow, erode our strength
Bury us in our sorrow shadowed and silenced

Battle on, battle on
Through barren lands and waste
Battle on, battle on
While there's still light of day

The time has come to ignite
Enraged in a venom haze
Cleared of the cloak of shadows
Headstrong to shake our claim

Drown away our sorrow
Fuels inner strength
Drown away our sorrow
A war cry leads us to this light

Into this fight
There's no surrender
I refuse to fall silent, I refuse
There's no surrender

Battle on, battle on
Through barren lands and waste
Battle on, battle on
While there's still light of day

Arise the war cry like it will be your last
Arise the war cry, arise the war cry like it is your last
Arise the war cry

Battle on, battle on
Through barren lands and waste
Battle on, battle on
While there's still light of day

Arise the war cry.

07. Equinox - Lyrics:

The damage is done
Now the darkness settles in
This silence is deafening

Yet I keep walking on
To see it all fase to dark
And I keep walking on
To find there's no way out

Through these shadows I tread
Yet I keep walking on.

08. Coming Of The Dark - Lyrics:

This marks the end of innocence
Collapse now the common ground
Beneath it all are fears of destiny
As the bastard man cometh

Concealed the omens howl
Blinded the second sight
Smothered, smothered
To mask the coming of the dark

And as I cling to this world
I know there is cold blood running
Alive, yet live to curse the days
I know there is cold blood running

Confess all arrogance
Confide in circling wolves
Ferocious blades bleeding the lifeblood
As the bastard man forges on

Capsized in periled plight
Is this the only road?
Alone, alone
Will darkness lead to light?

And as I cling to this world
I know there is cold blood running
Alive, yet live to curse the days
I know there is cold blood running

And as I cling to this world
I know there is cold blood running
Alive, yet live to curse the days
This blood is running strong

I was bound by the hands of false destiny
No longer will I follow
No longer will I follow hands of false destiny.

09. The Fallen - Lyrics:

Broken, the seams burst in a rush
A cataclysmic horror story 'pens its lust
Collision makes a call to change a certain path
Full disbelief takes its hold, delay the wrath, delay wrath

This is for the lost
This is for the fallen
You will remain in my world until I rest

This unrelenting test
The sting of memories has chased the shadow dark
To chase them long enough would end in certain death
No longer solid ground, now grayed the autumn leaf
A barren road

Upon the pages of our path
Bringing great calamity
Contagious this loss will surely ruin
There's great calamity ahead

This is for the lost
This is for the fallen
For you'll remain in my world until I rest
Until I rest you will remain.

10. Overcome - Lyrics:

Now - are you afraid or is the heart set on its time?
Cold - the silence reigns do we close our blackened eyes?
I'm calling on our testament to overcome
I'm calling on
It's now or never
Overcome

I'm calling on my testament to overcome
I'm calling on
To overcome

We stand strong
We won't break
Side by side we overcome

Now deliver us from all the hell i've seen
Now deliver us for there's fire in these veins
We're calling on the strengths that i've come to know
I'm calling on
It's now or never
Overcome

I'm calling on the strengths that i've come to know
I'm calling on
To overcome

We stand strong
We won't break
Side by side we overcome.

11. Disillusion - Lyrics:

So much disdain
So much hatred
Disillusion with this world;
Betrayal is the focal point of my dissension
I tried to keep it right
But with no remorse
I was left to die in the gutter
Nothing remains to strive for

No more
Consumed by the binds of failure
No more
Where the fuck did I go wrong?
Lies; Lies
Repulsed by all you stand for
Lies; Lies
Faith failed me

Stabbed in the back
The blood's still warm, the blood's still warm
These fallacies
They've claimed the best and shown the worst
- They've shown our worst
They all strive to make their mark
It's still Impostors Kingdom
You failed me
Now I will fail you

No more
Consumed by the binds of failure
No more
Where the fuck did I go wrong?
Lies; Lies
Repulsed by all you stand for
Lies; Lies
Faith failed me
You fucking failed me.
