1. CLASH WITH THE KNIGHT

You hear a mighty roar as you spread your wings and soar
The moment of truth will arrive
The answer you'll find lies deep within your mind
We must kill or be killed to survive
This figure in black is ready to attack
So take heed when you clash with the knight

Beware........when you clash with the knight

Your veins are filled with fear you know the end is near
Death will be knocking at your door
Can this dream be real your spine feels the chill
The flame that will burn to the core
You can not turn back from this figure in black
So beware when you clash with the knight

Beware........when you clash with the knight
Beware........when you clash with the knight


2. SWORD IN HAND

A long time ago far away
At a place beyond the edge of the sea
Out of bondage the gladiator's son
Broke the chains now he's free
Mighty warrior hear his cry
You better run and hide
Force of destruction with vengeance in his mind
He will not be denied
Warriors of the false prince turn back
I have warned you
Your prisoner in chains lies no more
Belying redemption the force that you feel forever
He must answer the call that awaits him
He's been chosen to protect the realm
Revelation has spoken the end is near

He'll rule by sword in hand He'll rule the land
He'll rule by sword in hand He'll take command

From the castle he starts his own crusade
He must stop those who try to invade
This is his battle he must not turn away
When the light in the sky turns away
When the light in the sky turns to night
He will realize he's won the fight
All the torment he felt he felt he now will repay

He'll rule by sword in hand He'll rule the land
He'll rule by sword in hand He'll take command


3. BEYOND THE GATES

I close my eyes the darkness reappears
There's been a change over the past seven years
Someone calls could it be the sands of time
In the distance the death bell chimes
I'm in this tunnel bright lights at the end
I feel the force my soul ascends
This time of judgement stares me face to face
Cold winds blow please take me from this place
No not now another time another place
I cannot be cast beyond these gates
I now realize I'm a part of this game
I look in His eyes I hear Him call my name
The Master call He holds the key
I start to tremble what's in store for me

The answer lies beyond the gates
The time is now my trial awaits
Predetermined I learn my fate
The answer lies beyond the gates
The time is now my trial awaits
Predetermined I learn my fate

I pass the gates the book unfolds my fate
The Master glaring my soul he takes
One of the children eternal life for me
Through tribulation sacrifice has set us free

6. THE EAGLE'S WARNING

Inhabiters of the earth I bring forth the warnings
Of trumpets that have yet to sound
A star fallen from heaven to the earth
The great abyss the bottomless pit now opened.

Out of the bottomless pit arose a smoke that darkened the sun
Then from out of me smoke an army of locusts arrayed for battle
Over the army a king, the angel of the bottomless pit
His name in Hebrew Abaddon
In Greek his name Apollyon the destroyer

The vials of wrath are now poured upon the earth
The plagues from the altar of fear, the dragon sent
Great harlot upon its back, we must look unto the sacrificial lamb

Forbidden to drink from the cup, its full of her wrath and fornication
Prepare for phantoms of hope, their transient dreams will pervade the weal
The seven thunders within have taken away all sense of time
The serpent arose from the sea, Apollyon's disciples arrive at the shore

The dust from Armageddon has cleared
Twelve gates appear from out of the sky, the new Jerusalem in sight
It stands as described by the prophets of old, the false-hood of fallen tyrants
Deceptions price is eternal pain, the veil uplifted through death
True face of the soul revealed by the spirit

8. MILLENIUM

Faithful martyrs sought out the prophecies of our time,
Great white throne of the judgement compel,
For he's bound a thousand years through millennial fate,
Unable to deceive
Spiritual presence revealed after physical death,
Fallen prey to the curse of Cain,
Fixation a result of an avarice mind,
Child of silence sails over perilous seas,
In search for the bride of solitude,
Is the chosen one
To interpret the visions of prophecies call?
Darkened spirits lead me down paths of dismay,
Elysium seems so far,
From Golgatha the chains of mortality broke,
And with them the sins of thine flesh
Post millennium immediately out of deceive,
All leaders of the Earth,
The wicked gather,
Their numbers as great the sands of the sea,
Devoured by Knights of the true Elysium
Messengers of the dark,
Awakened by His presence,
Are told of golden gated towers,
Lost in the shadows,
Once amid the tyranny of a king
