1. RESURGENCE

(Instrumental)


2. UNENDING FORTITUDE

Struggled for decades
Hardships that we have faced
Far beyond compare
External compare
Mixed with inner dissent
More than most could bear

In a time when most would just give up
With our faith in you strong we drive on

We will stand strong and fight on
Our battle has just begun
Destroy all who stand in our way
When we're gone they'll remember
We never surrender
And from our true path never strayed
Come what may

We've heard the critics?
Condemning analysis
Judging what thy themselves can't do
Basing their judgement
On pure subjectivity
Forcing opinions on you

Who are they to display such audacity?
We will thrive just to spite them all

We will stand strong and fight on
Our battle has just begun
Destroy all who stand in our way
When we're gone they'll remember
We never surrender
And from our true path never strayed
Come what may

Our faith will never falter
Our strength grows ever more
Our names shall live forever
Like eagles we shall soar


3. LYCANTHROPE

You feel it rise
From somewhere deep within you
As it starts to take control
Pain and despair
Completely overwhelm you
It transforms you very soul

The wolf is called by the moonlight
There's nothing that you can do to stop it

Feel its hunger as it grows stronger
Transformation to the beast
Deadly monster, horrific nightmare
On their it will feast

Hunt for your prey
The blood lust taking over
It consumes you to the core
They try to run
You quickly overtake them
Leave behind a bloodstained gore

The wolf is called by the moonlight
There's nothing that you can do to stop it

Feel its hunger as it grows stronger
Transformation to the beast
Deadly monster, horrific nightmare
On their it will feast

Now they hunt you
Crave your destruction
They won't stop until you're dead
Armed with silver
Your only weakness
They are coming to take your head

Once again you
Take on the wolf form
How into the moonlight sky
Closing in now
Soon their upon you
Who will live and who will die?


4. SHADOW SLAVES

When the darkness fall on the land
We will rise
As our hunger calls
We will seek out our prize
Through the night hunt our prey
Then we hide
In shadows throughout the day

Forever immortal
Ancient power
We never age
Filled with strength
We'll devour

Many hate our kind
They are filled with repulsion
Try to hunt us down
Genocide their compulsion
On their blood we will feast
Soon they'll learn the nature of the beast

Forever immortal
Ancient power
We never age
Filled with strength
We'll devour

Persecuted for what we are
Forced into a life oh hiding
Godless creatures with no souls
Offending their pure hearts

We are stronger by far
And have the cunning of the ages
Their minds we can control
And seduce their hearts
Blood is the life, with it we thrive
Passage of time only makes us stronger
And yet despite all of our might
In shadows we must hide


5. END GAME

Time is passing by, now it's do or die
Years have gone by way too fast
No more time to wait or it will be too late
Future soon will be the past
This is your last chance
Snap out of your trance
You won't get another break
Opportunity vanishing quickly
It's a risk that you must take

Strike now while the iron is hot
You have been given a chance to achieve,
something great that most only dream of

Rise up to the challenge
Only you have what it takes to succeed
And now more than ever
In yourself you must believe
Set aside procrastination
You cannot put it off any more
Time is now, no tomorrow
Spread your wings so you can soar

This is your end game
You've no one to blame
If you do not take your shot
Nothing left to lose
(You) know what you must choose
You must give it all you got
You must look within if you hope to win
Do not be afraid to fail
Put away your fears
With blood, sweat and tears
You'll find some way to prevail


6. BEYOND THE POINT

I'm not one to back down
So I will stand my ground
If you underestimate
It will be you last mistake

If you dare to challenge me
You will taste defeat

Once I've reached my breaking point
Pain and violence I'll appoint

You will see a darker side of me
With less sympathy

You have awakened my unforgiving side
My gentle nature is gone and for you
now my tolerance has died

Loss like you've never known
Pain cuts you to the bone

Now you see there's more to me
As you ace defeat

You have awakened my unforgiving side
I'm fueled by anger welling from deep inside
There is no mercy, my empathy subsides
My gentle nature is gone and for you
now my tolerance has died


7. INNOCENCE LOST

Silently enduring pain
Throughout the passing years
The scars have formed within me
All my trust I 'd placed in you
You were the world to me
Your love meant everything

Heartlessly mistreated
Childhood filled with misery

I did not know better
Youthful cursed nativity
I was too blind to see
Pain turned into anger
Burning hatred filling me
Years of endless torment
Filled my life with agony

(But) My time has come
I've taken all I can
And I've survived
I am a stronger man

How the tide has turned now
It is you in need of me
I've gained supremacy

Child becomes the parent
You well being in my hands
Will I show you kindness?
Or will I exact revenge?

My time has come
I've taken all I can
And I've survived
I am a stronger man

In darkness I've hardened
My will developed stronger
My mind and my spirit
will be your slave no longer
No longer!


8. MIDNIGHT REIGN

In the night I feel at home
In darkness I do thrive
On the hunt, my mind is sharp
I feel so alive

Locked in, I have them now
There is no escape
Charge in, weapons drawn
They'll now face their final fate
Swords clash, blood spills
Sound of clashing steel
Screams of pain as they fall
My victory is sealed

Wipe the blood off of my blade
I continue on my way
I pick up another trail
Many more I have to slay

They won't see another day
It's the price that they must pay
I will bring forth fear and pain
I will drive the rest insane

Midnight reign
I seek retribution, complete restitution
They betrayed
Midnight reign
Turned to opposition with their contradictions
Midnight reign

The time has come
My will de done
I will show them
I will torment
They will repent
They will suffer
With dying breath
They'll beg for death
I'll show no mercy
They won't escape
Their souls I'll rape
I'll laugh as they die


9. PERSEVERANCE

When it all seems lost and I'm down
it all feels so hopeless

When I've reached the point
I just want to give up
And I'm feeling so helpless

That's the time I must reach inside myself
Find that last bot of strength
Can't stop now it is do or die and
I am not no one to surrender

I will fight on
I will never be discouraged
Won't back down
With resolve I stand my ground
Until I've won
Never will admit defeat
All will see
I will claim my victory

Many in the past have tried to put me down
They tried to dissuade me
Quickly they did learn the folly of their ways
And I made them all see

That's the time I must reach inside myself
Find that last bot of strength
Can't stop now it is do or die and
I am not no one to surrender

I will fight on
I will never be discouraged
Won't back down
With resolve I stand my ground
Until I've won
Never will admit defeat
All will see
I will claim my victory

When I look in the mirror
And reflect on my life
All the choices made
I have no regrets
I'd do it all again


10. AVENGER OF THE FALLEN

Deadly and silent
They will not sense me near
Quickly I will set upon them
They will have no chance
Their final moments
Will be filled with dreadful fear

I'm the chosen one
Who's sent forth to avenge

Never yield
Carry on
Until my focs are all gone
Hunt them all
They will fall
I will avenge the fallen ones

They hide in darkness
Their lives besieged by dread
Soon I will have them in my sights
They hurt so many
Despite their innocence
And now they'll
face unforgiving might

I'm the chosen one
Who's sent forth to avenge

Never yield
Carry on
Until my focs are all gone
Hunt them all
They will fall
I will avenge the fallen ones

Now I'm
Closing in our my targets
They'll soon pay
Time draws
Near and soon they will all face their
Judgement day

In my sights I have got them
This is for those who fell
Savagely with no mercy
I begin to unleash hell


11. REVENGEANCE (FROM THE ASHES)

Walk beside me
Down this darkened path I choose to live
My heart has turned to stone
Will you guide me?
As I look to what you have to give
Or will I go alone

Frustration, temptation grows
Reflection, deception shows

Walking down this path of hell
As I dream of heaven
Wallowing in self despair
My life clock is at eleven

Desolation, devastation
Take what's left of me
Separation, isolation
Reel in mystery

Can't believe what has become of my life
Someone tell me when will
I see an end to the torment?
Watching as the hope fades out of my eyes
I can feel it fading
Someone find and end to this evil
Symphony in my mind

Torn apart and left for dead
Slowly feel the anger overtake me
Things you've done and things you've said
I have never thought that you'd forsake me

Look into the dark of night
Vengeful heart so full of spite
Tear my heart out while it's bleeding
Inside of me

Keeping my eyes on the prize
Rest assured I will arise
I spread my wings and I will fly
And by my hand you'l surely die
