1. RISE OF AGARTHA PART 1

(Instrumental)


2. STEPS OF SOLOMON

(Come On)

One - The fact that you regret what you've done
It's a starting point
Two - You've got to learn to burn without a fuel
Theres no easy way
No easy way out

Do you remember those games we played
And how it all felt so good to me?

You lie flat on your back
Trying to breathe so steady
But you clutch at your chest
Counting each beat

Now that I finally see what's real
I've got a chance to change my life
This is the song that I will sing
To clear the cloudy skies

Day never meant much to me
I was a creature of the night
But now I've killed the worm inside
I think things will be alright

Three - Your better put a leash on that dog of greed
He's gonna run away and there'll be hell to pay
Four - The kind of pain that leaves you wanting more
Is standing at your door, what are you waiting for?

I can't believe what its done to me
It took it all it pulled out a part of me
Shooting pains down my left arm and a knife in my back
I need help up off my knees

Now that I finally see what's real
What I can touch and feel
This is the song that I will sing
No matter what the future brings

Day never meant much to me
I was a creature of the night
But now I've killed the worm inside
I know things will be alright

Remember the time...

We didn't sleep for days
And just stayed up all night
Watching the comets streak across the sky

Remember the time...

That we laughed so much we cried
I don't want to die

Now that I finally see whats real
I have a chance to change my life
This is the song that I will sing
To clear the cloudy skies

Day never meant much to me
I was a creature of the night
But now I've killed the worm inside
I know things will be alright


3. TRANSMISSION

Streets rotting with the lies
How can I survive
This kind of hit and run on my...

Sanity possessed by all the things that you do to me
Soul trapped by a saint
Trust defies the shivers that are travelling down my spine
For now hope will find a way

Shame that I never knew
I never would be saved

Show me a sign
Give me the right transmission
Show me the right direction
To follow without eyes
Time to survive

I never seem to
Learn from it
No matter how far
I fall

Now the shame has started making its way up through my veins
The sin will make me shed my skin
Sound of cries are beckoning until I make up my mind
For you I will find a way

Unite the innocence
And take it to the grave

Show me a sign
Give me the right transmission
Show me the right direction
To follow with blind eyes
It's time to survive

If the cold doesn't get to me
This is honestly
The best deep sleep

Show me a sign
Give me the right transmission
Show me the right direction
Where is my lost reflection?
Burnt behind my eyes
God bless tonight


4. EPIDEMIC

Outbreak report
Its lasting longer than we thought
Infection spreads but still no cure for the disease

Print this on your front page
This is our end of days
No cover up for what's been shook from the bowels of society

This kind of shit that you believe
Is always raining down on me
I wont digest it
No, No, No

TV tells me to cower with the herd
Follow in fear to save yourself
Get back in line fucker

Is it really that easy to keep us slaves?
Paranoid delusions
They won't keep the wolf at bay

This kind of shit that you believe
Is always raining down on me
I wont digest it
No, No, No

It's hard to tell you've been deceived
When all they do is fill your head
With their own versions of the truth

This kind of shit that you believe
Has started soaking in my skin
I don't deserve it
No, No, No

With no remorse we'll be wiped out and taken down
With burning flesh I small success and nothing else

Epidemic

This kind of shit that you believe
Is always raining down on me
I wont digest it
No, No, No

It's hard to tell you've been deceived
When all they do is fill your head
With their own versions of the truth

This kind of shit that you believe
Has started soaking in my skin
I don't deserve it
No, No, No

I'm not a saint
I'm not a king
I'm not a god
I don't create

I'm just a man
Hanging on the edge
Of another epidemic

Hoping that the world
Can see it's wrongs
And make them right

I'd wait another hundred years
Just to see a glimpse of light


5. CITY OF THE DAMNED

A second more will be end of me
So how can I keep living the dream?
I tried to run before I could walk
And I try to shoot before I load the gun

Then barbed wire gag
Wrenches me down
Before I can confront my past

This is my lifeline

Will you (keep the promises)
Still love me (long past the grave)
If I let you die here in this city?

Are you not afraid?
Guilty on judgement fuckin' day
Has come and gone
I tried to give you warning

The ground beneath out feet
It couldn't take the weight
Of sixty thousand years of blood soaked hate

Where is your lifeline?

Will you (keep the promises)
Still love me (long past the grave)
If I let you die here in this city?

Don't speak
The walls around here listen
Just kiss me
Before this hell becomes our home

I want
I need to be born again
Into this world

Will you (keep the promises)
Still love me (long past the grave)
If I let you die here in this city?

Don't speak or breathe a word
The walls around here listen
It's killing me to say...

Goodbye forever
But I will be with you
Until the day I die


6. HOSTAGE

This hostage that I used to keep
Still loiters by the side of me
She's looking up into my eyes

Forgive what I'm about to do
It's the only way to get me through
I only want to sleep at night

How long do I
Have to hold you
Under water
Before you breathe in?

Call me all names under the sun
Wind blows away your every verb
Please don't make this harder for me
Your struggling only makes it worse

This can't be good for me
It's a sign to let her leave
This doesn't feel right at all

Too long have I realised
How far I've taken my disguise
I only want to know the truth

How long do I
Have to hold you
Under water
Before you breathe in?

Call me all names under the sun
Wind blows away your every verb
Please don't make this harder for me
Your struggling only makes it worse

Goodness
It flows through my veins
I'm pushing down on your face

Fingertips
They feel the rain again
And wash away the cherry stains

When it's on you walk away (Face down)
Until your body leaves me (Go now)
So hard to say goodbye (Leave)
This is goodnight

Call me all names under the sun
Wind blows away your every verb
Please don't make this harder for me
Your struggling only makes it worse

Goodness
It flows through my veins
I'm pushing down on your face

Fingertips
They feel the rain again
And wash away the cherry stains


7. HERO BEFORE DAWN

Are you lying down?
Are you giving in?
Should I turn around?
Then are you ready to begin?

Why can't you look the blaze
Long enough to see the faces
Of the children in the flames?

I've had enough of giving up
I've been alive and learnt a lot
It doesn't make the image stop

Too deep I'm drowning
Still treading water just to breathe
Walk through those mindfields
To get to the start

I'm trying to find the hero inside me
And I'm trying to find the strength to start the day
I'm trying to find my halo
So I can let you know that it's me
Believe

Somehow I pull myself together
Ready to brawl and...
Go head to head with the doubt
That's invading my soul - And I'm out

Help me I'm crawling
Uphill through razors just to see
My eyes will witnesses
Our plane of defeat

I'm trying to find the hero inside me
And I'm trying to find the strength to start the day
I'm trying to find my halo
So I can let you know that it's me
Believe

The words that you say
Don't mean much to me
And the side that you chose
Will never find a way...

The words that you say
Don't mean much to me
And its the lies that you serve
That will never find a way...
Through

I'm trying to find the hero inside me
And I'm trying to find the strength to start the day
I'm trying to find my halo
So I can let you know that it's me
Believe

I'm trying to find the hero inside me
So I can find the strength to start the day
I'm trying to find my halo
So I can let you know that it's me
Believe

Try to find my hero...


8. A HUNDRED SUNS

Sometimes I just fade away
I never notice it
Am I even really here?

My footprints seem to justify this
So why does life pass me by?

Give me a reason to breathe
Give me a reason to bleed

Soul and flesh
They bonded too late
Don't think I'll make the grade

This is the world's most fitting end
And I'm ready for it
I'm ready for you
Call me up through that hole
In the sky...
I'm alive

Burst into the frame
The bomb hits my brain
I've studied behind the lens

The shadows that now walk through our homes
Are merely carnivals looking for a place to stay

Give me a reason to breathe
Give me a reason to bleed

On the same path
God took a photograph
In turn he sealed our fate

This is the world's pathetic end
And I'm ready for it
I'm ready for you
Call me up through that hole
In the sky...
I'm alive

I've been to the future
And I have seen
More than my eyes
Ever needed to see

So bring on the war
Embrace the suffering
Empty all hope
And follow the call

This is the world's most fitting end
And I'm ready for it
I'm ready for you
Call me up through that hole
In the sky...
I'm alive


9. THE SERPENT

I saw you got what you wanted
I saw you got what you need
I watched you take it from me
I'll cut you fuckin' deep you traitor!

Is there a quote in time
That I can draw from here?
Stuck in a narrow mind
You're counting on belial

Don't die too soon
There's so much to show you
Bone's in the dirt
I will send you to God

Don't die too soon
There's so much to show you
Shedding your skin
Disguise wearing thin

Come on there's no faking this
Get into the pit
You've had your last chance to deny
The fires that purge the grass
Through which you slither

No allies here
No friend of mine you traitor!

Is there a quote in time
That I can draw from here?
Stuck in a narrow mind
You're counting on belial

Don't die too soon
There's so much to show you
Bone's in the dirt
I will send you to God

Don't die too soon
There's so much to show you
Shedding your skin
Disguise wearing thin

I'm tired
Of running
And hiding
From you

I watched you break through me
As if my bones were glass
Well things have changed
Stone heart inside

I watched you break through me
As if my bones were glass
Well things have changed
Stone heart inside

Know all about me
As I drift like a ghost
Reality haunts me the most

You talk about me
As if my body's too weak
As if I'm fast asleep

Four walls surrounding you
Not a chance of getting through

Peace
Rest within your Niche
Not a thing that I can do

Sleep
Four walls surrounding you
Not a chance of getting through

Peace
Rest within your Niche

Wrong
You couldn't be more wrong
I'm coming for you
And you will learn

Don't die too soon
I've such sights to show you
The stars of the earth against a God

Don't die too soon
There's so much to show you
Don't die too soon
There's so much to show you


10. NORTH STAR

Stolen for countless days
By stars that I call my friends
Fallen into my arms
This place where time stands still

Value it peels away
Equal dreams and equal pain
Living amongst the dead
It's the same shit different day

Is life lonely
Without me?

Did I explain that I'm not feeling quite myself
How did I get here and will I find my way back?
I didn't take my time and wait for the effect
Too much too fast now do I regret?

Part of me died that day
I'm glad it got in the way
Eyes hold an intense moment
That I spent with you

Hold me by my skin
And heal me from within
Make me make a promise
That I can't refuse

The light shows me
It's on me...

Did I explain that I'm not feeling quite myself
How did I get here and will I find my way back?
I didn't take my time and wait for the effect
Too much too fast now do I regret?

You know more than you think you know
My north star where did you go?
You know more than you think you know
My north star where did you go?
Where did you go?
My north star where did you go?
My north star where did you go?

Now I go really far away
I'm getting scared I might not leave
Stand me up but watch my eyes
Rolling back into the blind

Talk to me now
Let me hear your voice
Repeat the day how you know
We shared it all

Look at me
Hear your voice
Stay away
You've no choice

Did I explain that I'm not feeling quite myself
How did I get here and will I find my way back?
I didn't take my time and wait for the effect
Too much too fast now do I regret?


11. TEMPUS TERMINUS

(Instrumental)


12. RISE OF AGARTHA PART 2

Tell me how you wanted it to be inside the maze
You scrape the bowl to feed the myth
The end is just the same
But you don't know
What you've done

A drone can track the swarm
No matter how far they go underground
Hold your breath enough
And it comes back round to suffocate
The truth that you once knew and loved
Lose hatred has come so far they...

Crowd around and listen close to a choir of angels
Below the sun and all for one
Ripped, torn and jaded
Now in dark we will start a new
A place to call our home

Cutting out the middle man
I've got a spade to dig the hole
Poetry in motion
Is as guilty as a whore

Seed
Plant it and watch
It grow into a cure
To catch up with evolution
You can't defeat the change
Such simple things...

Crowd around and listen close to a choir of angels
Below the sun when all are one
Ripped, torn and jaded
Now in dark we will start a new
A place to call our home

Sit and wait for it to fall
Back down to my knees
I tried to see
But the light brought me up...

Now I just crave everything
And I suppose I'm too blame
But at least now I know
What is right
And this hole in the earth
It will not change our lives

This is insane tell me how can it be
That we are the ones who will witness the end
Well all this became
So much more than a dream
When you laughed it all off
Turned and buried your heads in the sand

(Sodomy takes a hold
Now we are all alone
Odyssey soon to be
Coming on reality
Better loved than you all
The outer shell cracking now
Broken down
Filling out all
The fear lying here)

Where is the prayer
To speak in times like these?
I'm lost, tired and scared
I need to be free

Crowd around and listen close to a choir of angels
Below the sun when all are one
Ripped, torn and jaded
Now in dark we will start a new
A place to call our home
