1. CONCESSIONS OF PAIN

(Instrumental)


2. CHALLENGE FOR POWER

Final challenge laid down
Decision on victory is death
Ultimate forces arise
Building weapons of strength

Artillery machinery roars
Wheels of war again roll
Strategic tactics are planned
Military minds take control

Ownership of the domain
Taste to conquer grows strong
Ruler of all that remains
Agony for conquest prolongs

Call for the power to rise
Battle of strength within strives
Total authority they demand
Ruling territorial lands

Fighting for total command this night
Successor to take up control
Aggression overthrows fear
Your downfall slowly unfolds

Burning quest for power
Possess minds as they fight
Domination and destruction
Reign in glory of might

Challenge for power ends
Battle cry for victory (sound) no more
Ultimate forces have grown
Rising from the slaughter of war

Rulers of the seven nights rise
The future of mankind unfolds
Hail the dawning of a new age
The master race shall now take control


3. FORGOTTEN EXISTENCE

Storms calm neon skies
Still chilling winds roam the nuclear wastes
Haunting the conscience of a forgotten existence
Civilisation's mistake

Peace at last takes it's grip on the land
For a moment time stands still
Existing in the debris of bygone wars
Hope breeds an incentive not to kill

Existence declines, extinction mankind
A lifetime of time slips away

Resurrect mankind sacrificed to power
From ruins to the birth of a new reality
Rising from the ashes of past destruction
Civilisations, new existence

Lost in a void without future or past
Shattered mind in the presence of pain
Domineering desolation
Controlling the solitary plains

Existence declines, extinction mankind
A lifetime of time slips away

Darkest fears dwell in man's mind
Insight to depths of what will be
Reclamation from the grasp of destruction
From ruins to the birth of a new reality

Construction from destruction
Bringing back life to mankind
Rebuilding an existence sacrificed for power
A future with hope to find

Existence declines, extinction mankind
A lifetime of time slips away

Existence - Declines
Extinction (of) Mankind
A Lifetime - Of time
Now slips – Away


4. IN BATTLE THERE IS NO LAW

[In the fight for existence and life
There is no law
And in the presence of eternal death
There is no law
And as the struggle for power and domination prevails
In the arising slaughter
It shall be every man for himself
As in battle there is no law]

Countless numbers die in war's path
Armies falling to our wrath
Warriors of power marching to fight
Destruction, killing, is all that's in sight

Raise the shield or be cast into death
Take a final look, your final breath
Innocent victims of war
No turning back, in battle there is no law

Awaiting the slaughter, time stands still
Thoughts fade away, so does your will
Enemy close in, blood on their minds
You won't die once, die a thousand times

Soldiers of hatred, killing corps of war
Bodies litter the field, what was it for?
Stench of death, no victory for this night
Plead for mercy, you have no right

Raise the shield or be cast in to death
Take a final, look your final breath
Innocent victims of war
No turning back, in battle there is no law

No law!


5. PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE

Psychological warfare
Bear the scars from a past war ceased
Neurological nightmare
Torture holds the mind from peace

Can't face reality unrestrained mentality
Hiding from the darkness of your insanity
Driven to soul despairs
Madness in your mind tears
No escape from this mental insanity

Captive life, held in past
Deranged memories burning in your brain
Thoughts of pain, darkest dreams
Self-inflicted torture, rotting your mind
Punishment, no pain release
Captive to the darkness of this psychotic… insanity

Tearing in deep mind
Madness dwells with pain
Destruction of your life
Renders you insane


6. DROWNED IN TORMENT

Pray in your dreams that tomorrow won't wake you
Plead for the darkness of life to forsake you
From death to new life the path that awaits you

You can't begin to start to bear the taste, the morning after dark
Close your eyes so that you can't see
The reality of your tormented agony

Drowned in torment your will shall break you
The scars of war remains to haunt you
Fell the cold hands of death grasping for you

As you drown in torment... drown


7. ETERNAL WAR

Through man's existence from the start of time
The fight for survival was our only crime
Those in power rotten to the core
The ongoing battle of the eternal war

What are we fighting for?
Is it worth dying for?
You're held down by your chains
There's no one but you to blame

Fighting, destroying, following blind
Crushing, corrupting, enslaving mankind

What's now left - You can't believe
Oppression those in power, used to deceive
Slave to hatred, peace they deplore
Driven by despair, eternal war

Rebuild humanity to create a new society
For there's strength in unity which lies with you
Can't you see


8. REALM OF CHAOS

Enter the realm of chaos, your nightmare has just begun
You may wake up screaming, but there's no place left to run

The ancient prophecy of dominant supremacy
Find strength through your salvation, the need for domination

Past life you deplore, present life you abhor
Future life is so unreal, intense despair now feel

Mutated creature round you stare, at your limbs they all tear
It's too late now to say a prayer, for your gods have no care

Welcome incursions of chaos, you know you cannot resist
To serve, worship, obey them the only way to exist

Your foretold destiny of perpetual lunacy
The final requisition, is no longer your decision

The obscure depravity blinds you, now you cannot see
What they've made of your world as your blood is turning cold

Now it's time to pay your price - The ultimate sacrifice
Gasp at your final breath - Cleansed now in your death, your
death


9. DOMINATION

Into your minds now, waiting to unleash
Words of their law, they have come to teach
Growing in strength, draining power from life
The ultimate forces, masters of the seven nights rise

Captives of the timeless wastes
Imprisoned for no crimes
Held by the force of desolation
Damnation for all time

From fallen masses, arisen life
Survivors start to rise
Survival instinct gathered strength
Quest for power burns inside

Excessive violence, fight for control
Aggressive vengeance taking control
Of the power you hold

Deep in your minds now, power out of reach
Hate is their law, vengeance now you seek
Diminished strength, fighting for your life
With subdued forces, servants of hatred now rise

Overthrow intentions growing
Authority of command
Vengeance breeding, justice seekers
Of the barren lands


10. DROWN IN DARKNESS

My body falls to the depths
And darkness has engraved my mind
No visions or solution,
Gagged for air, deeper below I sink


11. INTERNAL TORMENT

Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside
Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide
My body is possessed by an unseen force
Crippled for life as I try to speak my voice

No future, an obscenity,
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up,
And the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger, why?
Not allowed to make decisions,
If only I could tell them all I can think


12. PARADISE LOST

Claws of death grip my life,
Empty my mind and my knowledge is deceased
Mindless and dumb, instincts gone

Running in circles,
Not knowing where my fate lies

Blinding, running through the eternal maze
Surrounded by people the same,
Not knowing this place as the darkness falls above
Will we ever see the sun deteriorate away?

Feelings disappear, your eyes stare blank
Another world to greet, life now ends...


13. INTERNAL TORMENT

Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside
Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide
My body is possessed by an unseen force
Crippled for life as I try to speak my voice

No future, an obscenity,
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up,
And the curse has left my soul

Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger, why?
Not allowed to make decisions,
If only I could tell them all I can think

In my afterlife, I'll rise again
Destroy all the ones who laughed
Kill them all, able to think, flex my limbs
Talk and socialize, live my life...


14. FROZEN ILLUSION

I lay in the darkest room,
The door is locked, at chains I grasp
The chill runs through my bones
In panic I grief, oh please help me die

The walls close in on my existence
Unreal illusions re-appear
Darkness increases still

Frozen illusion...

I lay in the darkest room,
As images appear once more...
The chill runs through my bones,
My body is stiff as my soul departs the earth
