01. Escape - Lyrics:

Time to escape
The clutches of a name
No, this is not a game
It's just a new beginning

I don't believe in fate
But the bottom line, it's time to pay
You know you've got it coming

THIS IS WAR.

02. Night Of The Hunter - Lyrics:

I was born of the womb of a poisonous spell
Beaten and broken and chased from the land
But I rise up above it, high up above it and see
I was hung from a tree made of tongues of the weak
The branches, the bones of the liars and thieves
Rise up above it, high up above and see
(Rise up above it high up above it and see)

Pray to your god, open your heart
Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark
Cover your eyes, the devil's inside
One night of the hunter
One day I will get revenge
One night to remember
One day it'll all just end

(Un, deux, trois, cinq)
Blessed by a bitch from a bastard seed
Pleasure to meet you but better to bleed
Rise, I will rise, I will rise
Skinned her alive, ripped her apart
Scattered her ashes, buried her heart
Rise up above it, high up above and see
(Rise up above it high up above it and see)

Pray to your god, open your heart
Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark
Cover your eyes, the devil's inside
One night of the hunter
One day I will get revenge
One night to remember
One day it'll all just end

Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart
Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart
Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart
Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart

One night of the hunter
One day I will get revenge
One night to remember
One day it'll all just end.

03. Kings And Queens - Lyrics:

Into the night
Desperate and broken
The sound of a fight
Father has spoken

We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between heaven and hell
Heaven and hell

Into your eyes
Hopeless and taken
We stole our new lives
Through blood and name
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams

We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between heaven and hell
Heaven and hell

The age of man is over
A darkness comes at dawn
These lessons that we've learned here
Have only just begun

We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between heaven and hell

We are the kings
We are the queens
We are the kings
We are the queens.

04. This Is War - Lyrics:

A warning to the people, the good and the evil
This is war
To the soldier, the civilian, the martyr, the victim
This is war

It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world from the last to the first

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world

A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest
This is war
Oh, to the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiah
This is war

It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world from the last to the first

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
It's a brave new world

I do believe in the light
Raise your hands up to the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands toward the sun

Toward the sun
(It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie)
(The moment to live and the moment to die)
Toward the sun
(It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie)
(The moment to live and the moment to die)
Toward the sun
(The moment to fight, the moment to fight)
(To fight, to fight, to fight)
The war is won

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world from the last to the first

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
It's a brave new world

A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world

I believe in nothing
Not the end, and not the start
I believe in nothing
Not the Earth, and not the stars
I believe in nothing
Not the day, and not the dark
I believe in nothing
But the beating of our hearts

I believe in nothing
100 suns until we part
I believe in nothing
Not in sin, and not in God
I believe in nothing
Not in peace, and not in war
I believe in nothing
But the truth in who we are...

05. 100 Suns - Lyrics:

I believe in nothing, not the end and not the start
I believe in nothing, not the earth and not the stars
I believe in nothing, not the day and not the dark
I believe in nothing but the beating of our hearts
I believe in nothing 100 suns until we part
I believe in nothing, not in sin and not in God
I believe in nothing, not in peace and not in war
I believe in nothïng but the truth and who we are.

06. Hurricane - Lyrics:

No matter how many times that you told me you wanted to leave
No matter how many breaths that you took you still couldn't breathe
No matter how many nights did you lie wide awake
To the sound of the poison rain

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go...?

(As days go by, the night's on fire)

Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

No matter how many deaths that I die, I will never forget
No matter how many lives that I live, I will never regret
There is a fire inside of this heart
And a riot about to explode into flames

Where is your God?
Where is your God?
Where is your God...?

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead, or alive to torture for my sins

Do you really want?
(Heartbeat, a heartbeat)
Do you really want me?
(I need a heartbeat, a heartbeat)
Do you really want me dead, or alive to live a lie?
(You know I gotta leave I can't stay, you know I ...)

Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

The promises we made were not enough
(Never play the game again)
The prayers that we have prayed were like a drug
(Never gonna hit the air)
The secrets that we sold were never known
(Never sing a song for you)
The love we had, the love we had, we had to let it go
(Never giving in again, Never giving in again)

Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash crash, burn, let it all burn,
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

(Oohoohooh)
(This hurricane)
(Oohoohooh)
(This hurricane)
(Oohoohooh)
(This hurricane)
(Oohoohoooh)

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead, or alive to torture for my sins?

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead, or alive to live alone?

07. Closer To The Edge - Lyrics:

I don't remember the moment, I tried to forget
I lost myself, is it better not said
Now I'm closer to the edge.

It was a thousand to one
And a million to two
Time to go down in flames and I'm taking you
Closer to the edge

No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
NO! NO! NO! NO!

Can you, can you can you
Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free
The birth of a sun the death of a dream
Closer to the edge

This never ending story
Paid for with pride and fate
We all fall short of glory
Lost in our fate.

No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
NO! NO! NO! NO!

NO! NO! NO! NO!
I will never forget
NO! NO!
I will never regret
NO! NO!
I will live my life
NO! NO! NO! NO!
I will never forget
NO! NO!
I will never regret
NO! NO!
I WILL LIVE MY LIFE!

No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
NO! NO!
No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
NO! NO! NO! NO!

Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
NO! NO! NO! NO!

Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
NO! NO! NO! NO!
Closer to the edge.

08. Vox Populi - Lyrics:

This is a call to arms, gather soldiers
Time to go to war
This is a battle song, brothers and sisters
Time to go to war

Did you ever believe?
Were you ever a dreamer?
Ever imagine heart open and free?
Did you ever deny?
Were you ever a traitor?
Ever in love with your blood, lust and need

This is a call to arms, gather soldiers
Time to go to war
This is a battle song, brothers and sisters
Time to go to war

Ever want to be free?
Do you even remember?
Wanna be God the devil like me
Ever want to just stop?
Do you want to surrender?
Or fight for victory?

Here we are at the start, I can feel the beating of our hearts
Here we are at the start...

Darkness falls, here comes the rain to wash away the past and our names
Darkness falls, here comes the rain to end it all, the blood and the game

Far, far away in a land that time can't change
Long, long ago in a place of hearts and ghosts
Far, far away in a land that time can't change
Long, long ago in a place of hearts and ghosts

This is a call to arms, gather soliders
Time to go to war (Far, far away...)
This is a battle song, brothers and sisters
Time to go to war (Long, long ago...)
This is a call to arms, gather soliders
Time to go to war (Far, far away...)
This is a battle song, brothers and sisters
Time to go to war

This is a call to arms, we own the night
This is a battle song, we own the night.

09. Search And Destroy - Lyrics:

Grab your gun, time to go to Hell
I'm no hero, guilty as charged
Search and destroy

Found my faith, living in sin
I'm no Jesus, but neither are you my friend
I'm a whore, a birth of broken dreams
This simple answer is never what it seems

A million little pieces we've broken into
A million little pieces I've stolen from you

Search and destroy
Search and destroy
(Woah oh oh woah)
Search and destroy
Search and destroy

Sold my soul to Heaven and to Hell
Sick as my secrets, but never gonna tell
I'm to blame, burden of my dreams
A curse of faith and a blessing I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe
Oh, I believe (a million little pieces)
I believe

Search and destroy
Search and destroy
(Woah oh oh woah)
Search and destroy
Search and destroy
Search and destroy

Let go, let go
Let me go, let me go
Let go, let go
Let me go

Search and destroy
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
(Search and destroy)
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
A million little pieces
Stolen from you

Woah oh oh woah
Woah oh oh woah
Woah oh oh woah
Woah oh oh woah

Search and destroy (Woah oh oh woah)
Search and destroy (Woah oh oh woah)
Search and destroy (Woah oh oh woah)
Search and destroy (Woah oh oh woah)

A million little pieces
A million little pieces to start.

10. Alibi - Lyrics:

No warning sign, no alibi
We faded faster than the speed of light
Took our chance, crashed and burned
No, we'll never ever learn

I fell apart, got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again
Yeah

We both could see crystal clear
That the inevitable end was near
Made our choice, a trial by fire
To battle is the only way we feel alive

I fell apart, but got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again

Away oh (6x.)

So here we are, the witching hour
The quickest tongue to divide and devour
Divide and devour
If I could end the quest for fire
For truth, for love, and my desire
My desire

And I fell apart, but got back up again

Away oh (9x.)

I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart but got back up again.

11. Stranger In A Strange Land - Lyrics:

Enemy of mine, I'll fuck you like the devil
Violent inside, beautiful and evil
I'm a ghost, You're an angel
We're one and the same, just remains of an age
Lost in a day dream, what do you see?
If you're looking for Jesus, get on your knees!
(If you're looking for Jesus, then get on your knees! )

Enemy of mine, I'm just a stranger in a strange land
Running out of time, better go, go, go!
Angel or a demon, I gave up my soul
I'm guilty of treason, I've abandoned control

Tonight...

The end is coming
Everybody run now
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever tonight
Tonight, Tonight

The end is coming
Everybody run now
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever tonight
Tonight, Tonight

The end is coming
Everybody run now
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever tonight
Tonight, Tonight

The end is coming
Everybody run now
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever tonight
Tonight, tonight

The end is coming
Everybody run now
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever tonight

Lost in a daydream
What do you see?
If you're looking for Jesus
Then get on your knees!

Angel or demon?
I gave up my soul
I'm guilty of treason
I've abandoned control
(Abandoned control)

Your soul!

12. L490 - Lyrics:

In the end of the song are monks, singing a prayer
''How many years I share the pain younger brother
How much time I suffer with him
Know we will win, renew as two of the Phoenix from the ashes
We will be happy and healthy
Just have patience.''
