Lyrics


1. THE WORLD IS YOURS

Rise into the light and fade to the night
Sick of being told how to run your life
Their rules
They're fools
Empty words they promise so much
The present status quo remains untouched

If you want the world
Use your mind
Take control
Feel the strength
Rise from within
If you really want it the world is yours

Every empire was raised by the slain
Built through the age and you can destroy it in a day
Turn the page
Unleash your rage
Burn your golden cage and walk away
On your path toward ultimate power

If you want the world
Use your mind
Take control
Feel the strength
Rise from within
If you really want it the world is yours

Striking at the leash
Foaming at the mouth
No more subservience
Justice will be done

There's only so much
You can take
There is only so much
You can tolerate
When the bound breaks, the empire will fall

If you want the world
Use your mind
Take control
Feel the strength
Rise from within
If you really want it the world is yours

If you want the world
Use your mind
Take control
Feel the strength
Rise from within
If you really want it the world is yours


2. THE EAGLE FLIES ALONE

When I was born the seed was sown
I will not obey, my life is my own
Battle rules, which do enslave me
Exposed lies that enrage me

I don't believe in heaven
I don't believe in hell
Never joined the herd, could not adjust well
Slave, master, it's not for me.
I chose my own path, set my self free

I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be

I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
The eagle flies alone

Reject the system
that dictates the norm
This world is full of lies and deceit

I ask my own betrayal
Cut so deep, suffered defeat
Only to rise again

I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be

I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
The eagle flies alone

Alone!

I, I go my own way

I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be

I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
The eagle flies alone


3. WAR ETERNAL

Friend or foe, there's no way to know
In the battlefield of life it's kill or be killed
So many times it's a matter of degrees
From being up on your luck to down on your knees

It's a hellish inferno
This is war eternal

They try to change you, crush and break you

Try to tell you what to do
They love to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are

It's times like these when lines are drawn
Which side of the fence are you swinging on?
There will come one day not so far away
When the hunter becomes the prey (and you will pay)

It's a hellish inferno
This is war eternal

They try to change you, crush and break you

Try to tell you what to do
They love to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are

This is fucking war!

They try to change you, crush and break you

Try to tell you what to do
They love to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are


4. STOLEN LIFE

Everything so clear now
It's written on your face
In a world within a world
I can smell the bridges burn
Sharks ever circling
They never go away
In these dark, murky waters
So hard to navigate and so easy to hate

Paint me black, demonize me, this is how you pay me back?
Do you ever really know someone until you look away?
Misplaced my trust, only to learn... honesty is just a word

This is a stolen life
Before you walk away
Don't forget to turn the knife

What's next, more betrayal?
Have I not suffered enough?
You made me feel so alive
Now you're just killing me killing me

Carve away the rotten flesh
It's time to burn
Strip away the dirty lies
Expose the ugly truth...


5. AS THE PAGES BURN

As the pages burn
Secrets can't be unlearned
Silence can't be unheard... knowledge is burden
Power is onus as the pages burn

Rejecting cognition as the pages turn
Sinking in a pool of either
The past is washed clean

Rip apart the world
Word by word
Inch by inch

Sever your timeline
Silence your conscience

Sweet amnesia here to free you
As the pages burn (burn!)
All you trials solved bye fire
As the pages burn

As smoke fills the room soon to pass... heavy gloom
The wind will whisk away the past
A blank page stares at you
Nothing left
Where to start?

A second chance carries expectation!
The books you'd written no longer exist
The future is in your pen
Ink to paper now begin

Rip apart the world
Word by word
Inch by inch

Sever your timeline
Silence your conscience!

Sweet amnesia here to free you
As the pages burn (burn!)
All you trials solved bye fire
As the pages... burn!

Rewriting history
Starting now!
Erase the misery
Let the flames eat your doubts

Sweet amnesia here to free you
As the pages burn (burn!)
All you trials solved bye fire
As the pages burn!


6. RAVENOUS

I am hunting for your soul
It dwells within your heart
I lacerate the pounding flesh
Your spirits shall be mine

So rise my spirit rise!
Revel in this dead mans' body
Grip his soul, sip the blood
Life is death
A holy carnage

Ravenous
I will be your god
Carnivorous jesus
I need your flesh

Ritual slaughter
Fill up the chalice
With the essence of your life
Liquid strengths
Trapped in your veins
I crave your blood
You must die!


7. YOU WILL KNOW MY NAME

The judging eyes, watching me
It's all I've ever known
Every time I open up my heart
I am ridiculed, and torn apart
You tell jokes I'll never get to hear
Behind my back, at my expense

There's something inside me
I know it's good
I'm not evil, just misunderstood

Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you fear me now?
You will know my name!

To try and break my silence
Strip you of your dignity
Tear down your perfect world
Your perfect lives!

No more jokes I'll never get to hear
Behind my back, at my expense

There's something inside me
I know it's good
I'm not evil, just misunderstood

Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you fear me now?
You will know my name!


8. NO GODS, NO MASTERS

Here I am, back to the wall
I pick the fight against the tide
Free at last, I go my own way
I will resist them 'til the day I die

I am who I am - my time has come!

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come

There is no sacred place, no perfect world
Your head is home, freedom in your heart
Be strong, take this chance
Make your way, a better future calls

I am who I am - my time has come!

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come

No gods, no masters!
No gods, no masters!

What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger
Locked and loaded, ready to strike
Here we stand, loud and proud
United as one, united as one

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come


9. WE WILL RISE

Tear down the walls
Wake up the world
Ignorance is not bliss
So fed up with second best
Our time is here and now

I am the enemy
I am the antidote
Watch me closely
I will stand up - now

We will rise
Rise above

Stereotype fools
Playing the game
Nothing unique
They all look the same
In this sea of mediocrity
I can be anything
Anything I want to be

We will rise


10. NEMESIS

We walk this earth
With fire on our hands
Eye for an eye
We are nemesis

We are with you
Countless vicious souls
Fight! - fighting for freedom
United we stand

We are legion
Voice of anarchy
This is revolution
Creating new disorder

We are enemy
Opponent of the system
Crushing hypocrisy
Slaying the philistine

One for all - all for one
We are strong - we are one
Nemesis

A malicious fever burns
In our hearts in our veins
Your blood my blood
All blood runs the same
