1. SHEPHERD OF FIRE

Lets take a moment and break the ice
So my intentions are known
See I pity in watching you suffer
I know the feeling of feeling of being damned alone
I have a storybook of my own

Don't you see I am your pride
Agent of will
Bearer of needs
And you know what's right
I am your war
I'm in strong
Aiming the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

Well I can promise you paradise
No need to serve on your knees
And when you're lost in the darkest of hours
Take a moment and tell me who you see
Wont tell ya who not to be

Now you know I am your pride
Agent of will
Bearer of needs
And you know what's right
I am your war
I'm in strong
Aimin the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

Deciple of the cross and champion of the suffering
Emerse yourself in the kingdom of redemption
Pardon your mind through the chains of the divine
Make way for the shepherd of fire

Through the ages of time
I've been known for my hate
But I'm a dealer of sinful choices
For me it's never too late

I am your pride
Agent of will
Bearer of needs
And you know what's right
I am your war
I'm in strong
Aimin the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

I am your wrath
I am your guilt
I am your lust
And you know it's right
I am your love
I am your stall
I am your trust

Know me by name
Shepherd of fire


2. HAIL TO THE KING

Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos, bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding into town with armor, they've come to take all your rights
Hail to the King
Hail to the One
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail, Hail, Hail the King
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne.
Born again but it's too late to atone.
No mercy -- from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid
Let the water flow with shades of red now, Arrows black out all the light
Death is riding into town with armor, they've come to grant you your rights
Hail to the King
Hail to the One
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail, Hail, Hail the King
There's a taste of fear
When the henchmen call
Iron fist to tame the land
Iron fist to claim it all
Hail to the King
Hail to the One
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail, Hail, Hail the King


3. DOING TIME

I maintain an addiction
Been known to take it too high
I got an itch with a loaded hair trigger
And a one-way ticket to Fly
When there's no writing on the wall
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
And I don't need no lessons
After all, everybody's doin' their time

Caught you eye in the corner
Don't you look at me wrong
Fucked up and thrown into the
Gutter gotta fix what don't belong
I see the writing on the wall
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
And I don't need no lessons
After all, everybody's doin' their time

That's just the price to play so tell me what you like
Gotta hand on the kerosene match tonight, right

Had enough of opinions
I got enough on my mind
Sell your soul for approval
And a dollar got a pretty little body to grind
I see your number on the wall
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
And I don't need no lessons, watch to fall
You lost my attention, after all
Everybody's doin' their time


4. THIS MEANS WAR

Heretics and flames
Mothers and the rains
Come across a place where
There's no other way to fight

Blame the fortune
Blame the glory
Find the words
Without a story

This means war
We will not hold
Another second more
This means war
All the walls collapse
In the realm of despair
This means war

Tell of a time
Not too long ago
Where the sun ruled the land
No man to fight the night

Blame the fortune
Blame the glory
Fine the words
Without a story

This means war
We will not hold
Another second more
This means war
All the lives collapse
In the real of dispair
This means war


5. REQUIEM

Days of warning
Night brings morning
My prayers worthless
Heaven is burning down

I walk stricken
Pitch black vision
Oh One, save me
Caress my weary eyes

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the earth in flames

In flames (x3)

Nature quaking
Prophets aching
I kneel faithful
Damnation cracks the sky

My heart fiction
Superstition
Your grace deathless
Give life to my last breath

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the earth in flames

In flames (x3)

Rise from ashes
Violence clashes my soul vacant
Cleanse me of all this sin

I stand guilty
I bleed filthy
Born of fire
Savor this final hour

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the earth in flames


6. CRIMSON DAY

Darkness brought endless rain, out in the cold I lost my way, but storms won't last to clear the air, for something new, the sun came out and brought you through, a lifetime full of words to say, I hope that time will slow the passing day.

I've been wrong times over, and I've been shamed with no words to find, but if the sun will rise, bring us tomorrow, walk with me, crimson day.

Don't speak, no use for words, lye in my arms sleep secure, I wonder what you're dreaming of, lands rare and far, a time must fly to reach the stars, a lifetime full of words to say, I hope that time will slow the passing day.

I've been wrong times over, and I've been shamed with no words to find, but if the sun will rise, bring us tomorrow, walk with me, crimson day.

I've come so far to meet you here, to share this life with the one I hold so dear, and I won't speak but what is true, the world outside created just for you, is for you, for you...

I've been wrong times over, and I've been shamed with no words to find, but if the sun will rise, bring us tomorrow, walk with me, crimson day.


7. HERETIC

As they search for blood, all lies descend on one.
Honest man in chains, but that don't matter anyway.
My judgement day.

My flesh will feed the demon, no trial no case for reason.
I been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men they find what matters, turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses, marching to find heretic blood.

Impose your will on me, 'till fire sets me free.
The flames of hell burn bright, my fate decided by their lies.
Final demise.

My flesh will feed the demon, no trial no case for reason.
I been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men they find what matters, turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses, marching to find heretic... heretic blood.

Please don't leave me, please don't leave me like this.
I've walked a fragile life, and I've fallen down.
Please don't leave me.

My flesh will feed the demon now, no trial no case for reason.
I been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men they find what matters, turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses, marching to find heretic... heretic blood.


8. COMING HOME

I've been away, searching for a reason, another purpose to find
I've sailed the seas, fought my many demons
I've looked to gods in the skies
I've stood in hell, where many had to suffer
I stared the devil in the eyes
Walked many roads to witness ancient idols
And found the great gates of fire
Had many storms question my conviction
Gave armies reason to rise
The hangman's searching for bones he can borrow
While I escaped in the night, fight or flight

Live again, all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light 'cause on this night
I'll be coming home

Escaped the hail of calculated mortars
Then drank the blood of a king
The desert rain has washed away direction
Had angels looking after me
So it seems

Live again, all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light 'cause on this night
I'll be coming home

My story ends not far from where it started
My weary limbs have grown old
I've seen the world through the eyes of a nomads
Home is where the heart is I've been told
So I go

Live again, all roads end
I'll be coming home
Tend your light 'cause on this night
I'll be coming home

I'm coming home (x3)


9. PLANETS

Godless, meteoric war
​Anger, our existence nevermore
​You awoke the giants who were dormant in the sky
​Comets raining death from a fiery eye!

​Mother of all, your time is coming
​One with eternity
​When planets collide!
​Planets collide!

​Damage, galaxy destruct
​Endless, celestial a bit corrupt
​You will be forgotten like the others lost in time
​Deaths symbolization, left behind!

​Mother of all, your time is coming
One with eternity
When planets collide!
Planets collide!

Take heed the final march is closing in
​You can't defeat them on your own
​Weapons are longing for the final stand
​And their all aimed at you from heaven!

​Planets collide!
​Planets collide!
​Planets collide!
​Planets collide!

​You will be forgotten like the others lost in time
Deaths symbolization, left behind!

​Mother of all, your time is coming
One with eternity
When planets collide!
Planets collide!


10. ACID RAIN

Our day has come
It's drawn in the sky
So don't she'd a tear now
Be thankful for the time

Life wouldn't be so precious dear if there never was an end

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away

We stand on the edge now
We've come so far
Through all the dust it becomes clear
You will always be my heart

There's no death, no end of time when I'm facing it with you

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us Acid rain

Stand near to me
Don't look be brave
Over the blackened moon
I'll carry you away
Through the planets we fly

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us Acid rain

Send us home
Send us home
Send us home
Send us home
