1. CALM BEFORE THE STORM

(Instrumental)


2. DRIVEN

You've hindered me for far too long
You've bored me with the same old song
So sick of your endless insistence
To walk the path of least resistance

No longer will I listen to
The words I hear spoken by you
I won't hear you

Now I make my own decisions
Now I act on my ambitions
I don't need you

I'm driven on

Don't come to me for sympathy
For your worthless life of apathy
I won't hear you

Your issues no concern of mine
No longer do I have the time
I don't need you

I'm driven on

I'm driven on


3. REQUIEM FOR THE UNDEAD

What am I doing here?
What is this horrid place?
Why am I gripped with fear; what is it I must face?

This cannot be my life
This cannot be for real
I've been condemned to live in a world so surreal

Trapped in this sordid prison
Tormented in this cell
I am my own captor in this infernal hell

I do not belong here
I do not deserve this
Sentenced to suffer in this never-ending abyss

Call no one happy who is not dead!
Call no one happy who is not dead!
Dead!

One day this curse will end
One day I'll be set free
No longer a victim of this self-induced misery

'Til death do I remain
Mourning the life I've led
Singing a requiem: a requiem for the undead

Call no one happy who is not dead!
Call no one happy who is not dead!
Dead!


4. CRITICAL MASS

Visions of horror flash before my eyes
Flooding my mind; I am desensitized
Cold and distant the world becoming
Dark and empty; my conscience fading
No one to lend me a hand to take
No one to tell me what's real from fake
Unable to cope with the infection
I'm filled with the hunger for destruction

Fueled with anger; locked inside a cage
Pacing back and forth; boiling with rage
Losing grip on moral awareness
Quickly descending into madness
Rapid breathing; increasing heart rate
Muscles twitching; eyes burning with hate
A product of society's will
I've nothing left but the need to kill

Look at what you've done to me
Look at what you've made me be
A creature of hostility
Inflicting pain on all near me

Look at what you've done to me
Look at what you've made me be
A critical mass burns inside me
My wrath the last thing you will see

In this world we're born to be docile
In this world we're bred to be hostile
Human behavior is a disease
Deaf are we to each other's pleas
The virus is spreading everyday
Millions infected; it's here to stay
Humankind now in free fall
Critical masses are we all

Look at what you've done to me
Look at what you've made me be
A victim of humanity
Unleashing death with fiendish glee

Look at what you've done to me
Look at what you've made me be
A critical mass burns inside me
My wrath the last thing you will see


5. GYPSY

There exists a nomad
A soul without a home
An outcast with no past to speak of
Forever cursed to roam

Those who gaze upon her
Are helpless to her charm
Her mystical power
Will leave you all disarmed
Leave you disarmed!

She is an enigma
Attractive and demure
Many have tried and failed
To cage her spirit pure

Her song is enchanting
Her voice truly divine
Her dance is infecting
I swear she will be mine
She will be mine!

Sing for me, Gypsy
Sing your charming song
Dance for me, Gypsy
Dance your whole life long

You have bewitched me
I've longed to make you mine
To do with as I see fit
Until the end of time, I command you dance!

Imprisoned in my world
My love suffocating
No longer will she sing or dance
Her life is now fading

How could I've been so cruel?
Her soul my will contained
Dying in my cold grasp
An empty shell remains
Empty shell remains!

Sing for me, Gypsy
Sing me one more song
Dance for me, Gypsy
Dance one more day long

You have bewitched me
I've longed to make you mine
To do with as I see fit
Until the end of time, why won't you dance?


6. CURSE YOU ALL

Worthless is the human race
You're nothing but complete disgrace
In His image you were made
Took the one thing He forbade
One thing forbade!

Given Earth to cultivate
Chose instead to desecrate
Told “Go forth and multiply”
Cast out and sentenced to die
Sentenced to die!

You vile, you weak, you wretched vermin
Contemptible, deplorable, despicable, and I

Curse you all!

Earth's been raped by human beings
Laying waste to everything
From dust you came to dust return
In your wake the world left to burn
Watch it all burn!

You vile, you weak, you wretched vermin
Contemptible, deplorable, despicable, and I

Curse you all!


7. DEAD RISEN

Twelve years I lay here in wait
In a coffin six feet under
Prematurely laid to rest
Murdered by my own creation

My mission left incomplete
My vision left unfulfilled
Departed from the world too soon
Time to finish what I started

Writhing here in agony
Struggling to be released
This box no longer contains
The thing that I have become

Layers of dirt I claw through
Ascending toward the surface
Stretch my hand above my head
Breaking ground I grasp the air

My rotting corpse has been set free
To roam the Earth eternally
Caused by the energy you have given

My rotting corpse has been set free
To roam the Earth eternally
There's no escape you see dead has risen

Panic fills the streets around me
People running everywhere
Chaos and disorder rampant
And it's only just begun

Gather up your torch and pitchfork
Bar your windows; lock your doors
This night shall last forever
There is much left to be done

My rotting corpse has been set free
To roam the Earth eternally
Charged by the energy you have given

My rotting corpse has been set free
To roam the Earth eternally
There's no escape you see dead has risen


8. THE TRAVELER

Outcast by my family
I'm setting out on my own
Looking for a place to settle
A place I can call home

I'm walking out with nothing
But the clothes upon on my back
In too much of a hurry
There's no time for me to pack

I alone define the rules for my life

I will stand behind convictions of mine

I am the traveler

Wandering through endless fields
Traversing sand and gravel
Many spots I come across
On this road I travel

The day begins to fade away
Relinquishing to night
I stop to rest my weary bones
I'll pick up at first light

I alone define the rules for my life

I will stand behind convictions of mine

I am the traveler

In another place I stop
My needs I do betray
Befriend no one; make no ties
I do not plan to stay

Never shall my journey end
There's no home for me
I call upon my patron saint
Forever keep me free

I alone define the rules for my life

I will stand behind convictions of mine

I am the traveler


9. WITCH HUNT

(Instrumental)


10. MARCHING ON

Sheltered safely in your home
Peacefully sleeping in your bed
Completely unaware of the
Advancing hordes of undead

Explosions pierce the silence
Blasts light up the midnight sky
The battle now upon you
Hear the deafening war cry

No place to run; nowhere to hide
No one to stop the genocide

We're marching on
Marching on

Shock of rapid dominance
Paralyzing your will to fight
Swarms of flesh-eating corpses
Forge ahead on through the night

No place to run; nowhere to hide
No one to stop the genocide

We're marching on
Marching on
