1. AD PATRES

They claim that they care about nature
They swear that they do
They say that they build our future
I'm not sure it's true

[Bridge]
Among the crowd someone is watching
Behind the clouds,
He must be crying

They are plotting our destruction
Sowing evil seeds
We fall victims to their plans
In their world of bloody deeds

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Flying higher, reaching higher
Aiming for the clouds
Flying higher, we're getting closer
Please make them see, please set us free

Hiding weapons underground
Preparing their war
In their game of mass suppression
Till death do us gore

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Set us free!

(Homo Homini Lupus)

Hiding behind their deceptions
Preaching to save face
Decreeing that they're innocent of
Extinction of our race

[Bridge]
...Out!

[Chorus] (x2)

Higher!


2. THE PARDONER

The swirling mist inside my mind foretells litany
Haunting visions of the past are now my destiny
I live in fear

Soon will come the gardener, soon to sow his pain
Soon will come the pardoner, to delete my brain
To delete my brain

He has tried to steal my mind, he tried to buy my soul
The future I was fearing is now my hellish hole
My heart is bleeding

Here he comes the gardener, to inflict his pain
Here he comes the pardoner, he has come to maim

Confess your crime
I'll ease your mind
Confess your crime
Your crime, your crime

Guardian angel, save my soul, take away my pain
Guardian angel make me whole, so I can dream again

Confess your crime
I'll ease your mind
Confess your crime
Your crime
Confess your crime
Confess your crime
Confess your crime


3. HAIL TO YOU

You, you like your way
You, our reason we play
Without you we would not survive

You, you came here today
To come hear us play

Oh! Here we Come!

Louder, prouder, Hail to you
Louder, prouder

You, you make the day
You, we won't betray

Oh! Here we come! Oh! To play your song!

Louder, prouder, Hail to you
Louder, prouder, Hail to you
Without you we would not survive

Now, time's run away
We wish we could stay

Oh! Here we come! Oh! To play your song!

Louder, prouder, Hail to you
Louder, prouder, Hail to you
Without you we would not survive


4. SEVEN

Selfishness with our self pride,
Sloth and rage live deep inside

We have all fallen
Into the world of sin

Miserliness with our greed
Desire and lust are what we need

We have all fallen
Into the world of

Me and you, the world
We are all alone, all alone

In a bed of sins we all lay down

You know what they say,
You know what they say,
It's too late to pray

We have all fallen
Into the world of

Me and you, the world,
We are all alone, all alone
Into the world of
Me and you, the world,
We are all alone, all alone


5. SAVE YOUR LIFE

Lost in your obsession
Blinded by the load that leads your life
Your blood turns to poison
Welcome to the wonderland of hell
Open your eyes and see, you've fallen

Surrounded by the darkness
No past, no now, no future, just despair
Death seems the only way
To break free from this madness that you crave

[Chorus]
Tortured by the flickering memories
Of your past that should have
Saved your life, Save your life
Save your life, Save your life

Hold on to your life
Life!

Look into your soul
The truth inside your heart will set you free
In spite of all the pain
You fought for life and now you life again

[Chorus]

Save your life
I told you, I told you


6. CONFIDENCE MAN

See me praying for God's mercy, See me begging on my knees
See me with my saintly smile, See me crying out my pleas

Give me your faith and you will see, I am the one who holds the key

Hear me preaching about His glory, Mesmerized with my creed
Vow a land of milk and honey, Provide your wealth to sate my greed

Give me your faith and you will see, You're so lucky, can't you see

Cause I'm a confidence man, Yeah! I'm a confidence man
Sure I'm your confidence man, Your confidence man
Believe! Cause I'm your confidence man, Confidence man

Well, well, well

I am your Healer, I will deliver thee, I'm your awaited Saviour
Sacrifice yourselves to me

I change your fate as you can see
I'm so crafty, can't you see

Cause I'm a confidence man, Yeah! I'm a confidence man
Sure I'm your confidence man, Your confidence man
Believe! Cause I'm your confidence man, your confidence man
You're such gullible men, I'm still your confidence man


7. FAR FROM THE CRADLE

They all want me falling, falling, falling
Just because I'm rising, rising, rising
Far from the womb
They all want me crying, crying, crying
Just because I'm laughing, laughing, laughing
Far from the womb

Oh! Their lupine ways, Oh! I am their prey

[Chorus]
Out of the cradle, into the lair
Far from the cradle, you'll find me there

They all want me dying, dying, dying
Just because I'm living, living, living
Out of the womb

Oh! Their lupine ways, Oh! I'm still their prey

[Chorus]

Out of the cradle, far from the womb
Far from the cradle, close to the tomb

[Chorus]
Far from the cradle, you'll find me there


8. ON THE VERGE OF TEARS

He was your life long friend, become a memory
Remember your ally, remember who betrayed

[Bridge]
You think you've been so true, no regrets, no regrets
Be honest with yourself
No time for lying tears, no time for

He watched you climb the stairs
Wishing he could be there
Remembering the past, longing for it at last

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Wake up! Behold you are trapped!
On the verge of tears
You're so vain, you're so lame
You're so vain, you're so lame

Let's go!

Let sleeping dogs lie!

You were a life long friend
Become a friend of spite
You forsook your ally
It's now time for
For lying tears

[Chorus]
You're lame

Remember the, remember the,
Remember the, remember the past


9. FOOL'S PARADISE

(Instrumental)


10. THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE

We're all on the edge of time
Yet we're still too blind to see what we've done
What all about these crimes hidden in our minds
Can you bare the pain?

Once the snake led us into temptation
Snared in its pit, no hope for our salvation

There is no heaven without a hell

Men defied the law, burning, killing all
Living in a fear darker than their souls

There is no day without the night
There is no black without the white

[Chorus]
Twisted maze of endless darkness, I will lead the way
Take my hand, unearth my wisdom heed what I say
Strive on, strive on, we've got to hold on,
We've got to go on
Strive on, strive on, together as one,
The sun won't shine on in vain

Now the snake slithers back to its hole
Drags with him the souls that he stole

There are no sins without sinners
There is no evil without man

[Chorus]


11. BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Time's running out my son
Realize, life has just begun
Don't ever show what you feel
Hide away behind your shield

They'll surely say my son
You lead a perfect life
Don't ever tell what you feel
Play the game, don't show you care

Fearing what you feel
Trapped between two worlds
Fearing what you could be

[Chorus]
You've tried to cry out all the things you've kept inside
Yet you have become the prisoner of your own lies

Hide them, hide them
Don't let your feelings out
Hide them, hide them
The past is safe behind
The curtain, curtain

Fear!

[RChorus]
Your lies, your lies!
