1. THE FINAL DEVASTATION OF THE TERRORTHRONE

What is the truth
Propaganda lies
Avoid decision
Alicit greed
Faults of a wretched system
Unjustified

Follow your life
Down life's wicked path
Full of hate
Incentive for the kill

Raise the flag
Crush the filth
War of annihilation
Enemy of the state

Act of revenge
Burn with dissension
Land of idol minds
Model of indecision

Raise the flag
Crush the filth
War of annihilation
Enemy of the state

The final devastation of the terrorthrone
The final devastation of the terrorthrone
The final devastation of the terrorthrone
This evil sanctuary must be overthrown

Idols of hope
Must pay the price
Blind leading the blind
Into self-destruction

Raise the flag
Crush the filth
War of annihilation
Enemy of the state

Eyes wide shut
Move from the masses
Freedom from slavery
Break the chains that bind

The final devastation of the terrorthrone
The final devastation of the terrorthrone
The final devastation of the terrorthrone
This evil sanctuary must be overthrown


2. FOR A BURNING ETERNITY

War...
War...
War...
War...

Smash the button
Missiles fly
It's so easy
To order death

Righteous soldiers sent far away
Means out of sight and out of mind
Righteous soldiers sent far away

Detonation shrapnel burn
They won't witness final breath
There were many of us
Before this battle begun
I'm the lone trooper still firing my gun
I'm the last survivor
Cannot stop until this war is won

In ones and twos
Sometimes groups of more
They were lit up hard
Just statistics of war
Change the ammo clip
Let the bolt strike back
They cannot stop now
Must press forward, attack

For a burning eternity
We must fight
For a burning eternity

For a burning eternity
We must fight
For a burning eternity

Above the ocean
The bombers fly
Against the rising sun
Invasion forces prepare for attack
The world was has begun

For a burning eternity
We must fight
For a burning eternity

For a burning eternity
We must fight
For a burning eternity

Bombing of Pearl Harbor
Death march on Bataan
Battle of Midway
Fighting back in New Guinea
Guadalcanal
Sinking boats in the slot
Desperate days in Tarawa
Suicide Creek

Soldiers march into death
Intent on killing the enemy
Until their last breath
Cannot escape the heat of battle
On the run from the crazy banzai
Thousands fight for the ultimate price
The conquest of new lands

For a burning eternity
We must fight
For a burning eternity

For a burning eternity
We must fight
For a burning eternity

Fight...for...your...freedom!


3. BUTCHERED PLANET

Feel the temperature rise
Burning sun in the sky
Arid future, no fossil fuels
Ice caps melt in the heat

Slowly the planet will die
Fresh water, no rain, dams dry
Carbon gasses, oxide contamination

Inhabitants of the dying planet
Have to stop their destructive habits
New disease from unknown origins
Global warming brings us to our knees

March forward into annihilation
No relocation, only drowning for the masses

More than half of the world's population
Will succumb to dehydration
Paradise becomes a living nightmare
Earlier spring arrival
Will end our survival
Flash flood, drought and wildfire
Other species migrating to higher latitudes

Inhabitants of the dying planet
Have to stop their destructive habits
New disease from unknown origins
Global warming brings us to our knees

March forward into annihilation
No relocation, only drowning for the masses

Maybe there is room on Mars
Or a new colony in the stars

Have we left it too late to make a change
To save our fragile environment

Looming devastation
Of a dying planet
Like a butchered corpse - we rot
On our knees we suffer because of those before us
It's time to make the change

It's time to make the change
It's time to make that move, people
Wake up to yourselves
You gotta dare to care
The time to act is now!

Maybe there is room on Mars
Or a new colony in the stars
Another planet to kill with cars
Have we left it too late to make a change

Have we left it too late to make a change
To save our fragile environment
Carbon build-up is killing the eco-system
Each little change will help

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up


4. AMONGST THE PUTRID

I am a human
I am a being
Created in life
Not bound by flesh

Taste the poison
Of this false utopia

Taste the poison
Of this false utopia

Locked inside
Left to die
Lifeless forms
Only hear their cries
Unknown infections
Where diseases dwell
They can smell the burning
Of decaying flesh

Leprosarium
Another day, another hope for salvation
Leprosarium
Forced to die amongst the putrid

Infestation of body and soul
Bells warn of the sickness
Hideous growth knows no bounds
Limbs fall to the ground
Grip on reality slides into confusion
Promises of a new life only a bloody lie

Lost, no hope - amongst the putrid
Filth, death, decay - amongst the putrid
Left to die - amongst the putrid
Turn to faith - amongst the putrid

Life of misery
Dead never mourned
Morbid incarceration
To cull the disease
Depression of self
Unrecognizable
Only inceration
Brings forth release

Infestation of body and soul
Bells warn of the sickness
Hideous growth knows no bounds
Limbs fall to the ground
Grip on reality slides into confusion
Promises of a new life only a bloody lie

Lost, no hope - amongst the putrid
Filth, death, decay - amongst the putrid
Left to die - amongst the putrid
Turn to faith - amongst the putrid

Die!

I am a human
I am a being
Created in life
Not bound by flesh

Taste the poison
Of this false utopia

Taste the poison
Of this false utopia

Leprosarium
Another day, another hope for salvation
Leprosarium
Forced to die amongst the putrid
Leprosarium
Another day, another hope for salvation
Leprosarium


5. VALLEY OF DARKNESS

Valley of the dead

Searching
For a sign
Of existence
Something left behind
Wandering
Through the fields
Of war-torn land
Where soldiers fell and died
Searching
For a feeling
Of empathy
As they faced the enemy

Valley of the dead

Millions of citizens
Volunteers conscripted
They gave their lives willingly
Responding to the lies
Leaders of nations
Knowing well the fate
Sending men forward
Like pawn in a game

Valley of the dead

Returning
To the valley of darkness
Remember the future
They're threatening of more
Returning
To the valley of darkness
Remember the past
The loss of lives
In war
Returning
To the fields of battle
In the trenches
Of fallen heroes
But alas
You will never know
Or understand
As you close your eyes

Valley of the dead


6. MARTYR SHRINE

They died for war
For our freedom
Horror of warfare
They suffered

Eternal vigilance
Price of liberty
Answer the call
For preservation

Behold
Their cries
Your modern life
They paid the price

Our flag
Our nation
Our families
Noble ideals
They served
They suffered
Commemoration
For those who died

They died for war
They are the martyrs
Your modern life
Their sacrifice

Behold
Their cries
Your modern life
They paid the price

Our flag
Our nation
Our families
Noble ideals
They served
They suffered
Commemoration
For those who died

They died for war
They are the martyrs
Your modern life
Their sacrifice


7. SUPERSTITION

Superstition
Who should you believe
Paranoia
Born by the deceiver
Retribution if you deny
Die by the hand that feeds
For the sake of a lie

Open your eyes
Don't fall for the deception

Do as they say, not as they do
Or fall victim like the others
Self-inflicted pain of the insane
Brought on the mental abuse

Bored with life, you look for something new

Trapped on the wicked path
That leads to pain
Then ends in your death

Bored with life, you look for new challenges
Yet nothing comes your way
Looking forward to nothing at all
Time to die, kill this pain

Are you a victim of superstition?
Don't fall for the lie
Do you believe in superstition?
It will ruin your life

Superstition
Don't be so naive
Follow His truth
Ignore what others believe
Obliteration if you even try
Die by the hand that feeds
For the sake of a lie

Open your eyes
Don't fall for the deception

Do as they say, not as they do
Or fall victim like the others
Self-inflicted pain of the insane
Brought on the mental abuse

Bored with life, you look for something new
Like so many before you
Trapped on the wicked path
That leads to pain
Then ends in your death

Bored with life, you look for new challenges
Yet nothing comes your way
Looking forward to nothing at all
Time to die, kill this pain

Are you a victim of superstition?
Don't fall for the lie
Do you believe in superstition?
It will ruin your life


8. APPARITION

Suffering from depression
I wander into the dark
Embracing the blackness
And longing for death

Trapped inside and losing my mind
I try to escape the state of my pathetic life

Rising from the wastelands
I coldly emerge
Looking for a shimmer of light
And a purpose for being
I will survive

Reform my mind, turn from the lies
Discover a renewed reason for living

Oh God I long for release from this depth
This hole in the ground where I dwell

Unless You raise my wounded soul
I will not survive my hell
Help my weary feet to stand
And take me in Your hand

Here I stand, my arms are raised
Ready to believe
Take away my pain and guilt
Alleviate my grief
I was once a working man
Restore my failing health
And if You answer my desperate cry
I will humbly receive
