1. WRITHING RED

A carousel battleground
I fear chaos abounds
And when I wake
I’ve souls to take
For they stand in my way

With just one smoking gun
See all that I’ve undone

Only go where I am led
The tendrils of the writhing red
Once the life is all but bled
For you, the last of hope I will shred

War and greed
The scheming seed
Shattering the highest creed
With all my days
I would repay
Power won’t fade away

With just one smoking gun
See all that I’ve undone

Only go where I am led
The tendrils of the writhing red
Once the life is all but bled
For you, the last of hope I will shred

Empire of the bold
To the highest bidder sold
Typical fall from grace

Only go where I am led
The tendrils of the writhing red
Once the life is all but bled
For you, the last of hope I will shred


2. IRONBOUND

Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, ironbound

She’s terrified
Stealing through the night
Key to turn the tide
With a power inside

Potential crushed
Safety found in darkness and distrust
Burning bridges reduced to dust

Commanding magic in gold
Pushing and pulling and becoming bold

Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, ironbound

Riches and rage
Gilded in their cage
Caper for the age
Play a spy on the stage
Drink from the well
And you’ll fall under their spell
A match made in hell

Commanding magic in gold
Pushing and pulling and becoming bold

Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, iron

Ironbound
Bring the whole world crashing down
Torn apart
Revolution after dark
Through the mists and ash
Living gods of the past
And live in everlast
Oh, iron
Within us
This power
Within her
Will lead us through

4. SHADOWDANCER

The inexorable hunger for more
Rewards those who can cast aside their humanity

Deceiving words, I yearn to command
Harbinger mine, fleeting time

Shadowdancer
Forgiveness echoes empty, it only brings me down
Darkness defined
I only asked that you would not let me drown

Low ember
Answers to splendor

Look to your soul and find it hollow
Leaves anger to follow

Shadowdancer
Forgiveness is a virtue but I condemn myself
Darkness defined
The hate we cannot undo inside me dwells

Shadowdancer
Darkness defined

Sick with glory
Raging fire
Break the martyrs and the liars
God of fury!

With the flame all aglow, all aglow
Eyes like a carrion crow
Rivers that overflow, overflow
Stay in your shadow
In your shadow
