1. PRELUDE TO WAR

(Instrumental)


2. DESTINATION DIE

Soon after daybreak, as numerous as sand
Soldiers and chariots, a stench throughout the land
Smoke in their nostrils, fear beyond critical
I've waited seven long days, compelled to seek his favour

Bestowed upon me, protector of the crown
Attack the stronghold, scatter them amongst the towns
They strike each other, destine them for the sword
His mighty power joined the battle for the chosen

And oh the fire! It burns in me
Like a river flowing red with blood you'll see

The enemy come, far and wide
We'll call it destination die
The carnage of war, on every side
Welcome to destination die

He will punish them, destroy all that they have
I have anointed you so follow this command
Kill men and livestock, women and children too
You must annihilate completely those that tortured you

And oh the candle! That's guided me
Has burned out long before I had a chance to see

The enemy come, far and wide
We'll call it destination die
The carnage of war, on every side
Welcome to destination die

I am afflicted, for you've turned away
You were unwilling, why did you go astray?
You gathered the plunder and you took their king alive
The consequence? Your reign as Monarch won't survive

The enemy come, far and wide
We'll call it destination die
The carnage of war, on every side
Welcome to destination die


3. SCARLET CORD

Early at dawn, go look over the land
It is the expanse he has sworn to give
Mobilize the troops, the master plan
For the promise of demise is his

Yes they have come but at dusk did defect
A tongue of deceit, the wink of an eye
Hypnotized by fear with all due respect
For his power I cannot deny

Head out down to the road, they must not reach the gates
For they had come as a spy

We have heard all of the tales, our courage destroyed
Legend of the the holy sword
We've now, now made this vow, your family to spare
Looking for the scarlet cord

As I've told you before these hearts are melting in fear
Please acknowledge my generosity

We have heard all of the tales, our courage destroyed
Legend of the holy sword
We've now, now made this vow, your family to spare
Looking for the scarlet cord


4. TALE OF HOPE

You've heard the cries
Echoes of weeping fill the night
I hear your voice through the blazing fire

But who am I?
Terrified this day on holy ground
The mission calls, I am the chosen one
I ask afar, you are who you are!

So then I close my eyes
This sense of pride is coming over me
A lack of faith to no surprise
The deliverance for all to see

This tale of hope lives on forever
The horse and rider feel the pain
How did I ever doubt this power?
And I'll be damned if I make that mistake again

I've heard their cries
"Better to serve than here to die"
Believe your eyes? Are you still afraid?

So too am I
Horrified this day on sacred sand
That thundercloud follows me through the night
I look afar, show them who you are

So then I close my eyes
This sense of pride is coming over me
A leap of faith to no surprise
The deliverance for all to see

This tale of hope lives on forever
The horse and rider feel the pain
How did I ever doubt this power?
And I'll be damned if I make that mistake again

So let the truth be told
The glory of his name will give me strength


5. THE FALL

I hear the calls, I'm going down
The whaling cries call to me from this town

Like a candle in the night
Just a glimmer of hope in sight
Such grievous debauchery
They won't live to see another day

How can thee, completely destroy them all?
Find fifty, faithfully, I will save them all
Before the fall

Gather your kin, the time has come
He will lay waste all things under the sun
This overindulgence has come to a head
To purge all this evil, the sinners will dance with the dead

Like that candle in the night
Barely flickers with no hope in sight
Run for cover and never look back
Heinous society, feel his wrath

How can thee, completely destroy them all?
Find forty, trustworthy. I will save them all
Before the fall

How can thee, completely destroy them all?
Find thirty, trustworthy, I will save them all
Find twenty, faithfully, I'll spare them all
Find ten please, trustworthy, I will promise to forgive them All
Before the fall


6. WITCH

I'm so afraid, in my heart, to the core
I call your name but your lights are no more

The battle lines are drawn, I can't escape the scorn
The snares of death are near, so who and where to turn?
I know this wicked dame, a medium they say
A revelation, vivid blazing fire burns

Searching, reaching for a way to see beyond this present Door
Calling your spirit up, my actions predicate delirium

In the dead of night, by way of pale moonlight
I now shall mask my crown, the woman unaware
For I have cast them out, the spiritist gave shout
Please do not be afraid make known what you see there

Searching, reaching for a way to see beyond this present Door
Calling your spirit up, my actions predicate delirium

Diviner, we bring you up, for he no longer cares to answer Me
Tomorrow, much to your despair, your majesty will be joining Me here

I see a man in the mirror
A troubled man, fate foretold his end is near
My soul is weary with sorrow
My strength is gone for stricken fear


7. LIGHT EVERLASTING

Hey you! Yeah I'm talkin' to you
Don't ever doubt things that I can do
Hey you! There's no running away to hide

So what's this life we're living for?
The answers lay behind the door

So knock please...What's this lie you try hide
'Cause there ain't nothing I can't find

Fear the light, the light everlasting
Fight the fight and you won't be left behind
Trust the light, this light everlasting
Shining bright, your guide to the Promised Land

You vowed your obedience
And not so long ago in my defense
You'll see how my passionate anger burns

So now let's try this thing again
I will forgive but won't forget

Don't try me.... The master plan thus fortified
The promises you can't deny

Fear the light, the light everlasting
Fight the fight and you won't be left behind
Trust the light, this light everlasting
Shining bright, your guide to the Promised Land

This cloud for all to see
This voice commanding thee
The fear and trembling
Because I know that your soul is gonna find me


8. SORROW NEVER FADES

The frigid darkened chamber calls
I guess my arrogance led to my ultimate fall
I only tried to make you proud
I thought I heard you clear and loud
But now the voice of reason resonates, pain profound

The shadows seem to wane
But the memories remain
Live or die it's been a struggle
The sorrow never fades

See I don't understand the crime
I'm begging please forgive, am I running out of time?
I never wanted to let you down
I need you here but you're not around
The guilt of this dishonour reverberates, I'm spellbound

My song remains the same
The memories remain
Rather die than live sinful
The sorrow never fades

Will you please search my heart and tell me what you see?
Examine my mind and search my soul, do you find deceit?
Thought I would be rewarded, now my spirit is extorted
I have a passion to serve, is this what my deeds deserve?


9. CIRCADIA

(Instrumental)


10. THE DREAM OF ALL DREAMS

This dream that came to me has me troubled
Like no other vision could possibly be

There, the four winds of heaven tossing the waters crashing The mighty sea
Now, the four beasts before me telling this story rising up Out from the deep
A lion with wings of an eagle, a bear and a leopard, savage Brute with iron teeth
Crushed and devoured its victims, man it was different
What is coming over me?

The dream of all dreams

The throne appeared and it was flaming with fire
His hair as white as snow, The Ancient of Days took his Place

The river of fire was flowing, celestial power descended Down and slayed the beast
Can you picture this battle of good versus evil? Prophetic Tale to say the least
Someone please tell me what this means. Apocalyptic dreams Predicting future days of peace?
The final destruction of evil, good versus evil
His kingdom reigns for all to see

The dream of all dreams


11. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

I am judge of all the land and have been year to year
But now my time has come and that is what I fear
I'm too old, you say my sons don't walk in my ways
"We need a king to lead" you cry, let us count the days

Since you have gathered as elders to force my hand
Against my better judgment, I'll appoint a leader over all The land
Distraught and without sorrow, I'll inquire of the holy one
The creator of all universe, whom you've rejected since day One

So listen all my brothers
As this voice has directed
I must solemnly warn the floor
He'll take your sons and daughters
The king will take your children
So be wary of his scorn!

He'll assign them as commanders of thousands
While others will be making weapons of war
Yeah, he'll take the best of your fields and vineyards
So be careful what you wish for!

As slaves, you cry for mercy
But your prayers have been ignored
You have renounced my sincere warning
Your intentions are abhorred

So leave my sightly wisdom
And go back to your towns
The lord will grant your wishes
Your unfaithfulness abounds

So listen all my brothers
As this voice has directed
I must solemnly warn the floor
He'll take your sons and daughters
The king will take your children
So be wary of his scorn!

He'll assign them as commanders of thousands
While others will be making weapons of war
Yeah, he'll take the best of your fields and vineyards
So be careful what you wish for!


12. LONG LIVE THE KING

A dream has revealed to me
Tomorrow I will see a man without equal
A head above them all
Appointed to the call of delivering his people

I have a message for you

This young lad came about and it was never in doubt
As the voice above directed me
This is the man, chosen from your tribes and clans
The king for which you have forsaken me

Long live the king
The cry of reckoning
Long live the king
This day of reckoning

You need not be afraid, no don't turn away
Serve him with all of your heart
But if evil abides, you and your kings' lives
Will be forever torn apart

Long live the king
The cry of reckoning
Long live the king
This day of reckoning

It's time to celebrate
Rejoice and sing
Long live the king
This day of reckoning


13. SERAPHIM SCREAM

I'm all alone again, my heart is cold
I guess my fate is in the fold
And I won't mind some peace of mind
The spirit in control departed from my soul

This evil energy comes from above
For I have not obeyed his word
And I can't hide, this fear inside
Afraid so l gave in, please forgive my sin

Like the seraphim scream
Are these demons in my dreams?
My path the road to nowhere
Like the seraphim scream
Is this torment in my head
Oh! The bitterness as I grieve

In your own eyes, you once were small
Were you not chosen above them all?
Thy kingdom torn, thy crown forlorn
His glory wouldn't lie, he won't change his mind

Like the seraphim scream
Are these demons in my dreams?
My path the road to nowhere
Like the seraphim scream
In this torment in my head?
Oh! The bitterness as I grieve

Seraphim scream
I hear voices in my head
The shaking of foundations
Seraphim scream
These visions haunt my dreams
Oh! The loneliness as I grieve

And oh what I won't do, a reprieve for what I did do
Want to live for the sunrise and see another day
I believe in his glory, please don't end the story
Of this valiant leader, the first king of Israel

My successor has been chosen, my pride is broken
Do you feel my anguish, my lament?
He sent me on a mission with absolute direction
This act of disobedience I regret

Like the seraphim scream
Are these demons in my dreams?
My path the road to nowhere
Like the seraphim scream
In this torment in my head?
Oh! The bitterness as I grieve
