1. HELLSCREAM

War cries echo from below
The ground beneath you begins to rumble
The sky turns blacker than night
A prelude to my demon rise

So it's begun, creation undone
And heaven will follow too
You've had your turn, this place will burn
It will all be over soon

Your armies rush to meet my hordes
And are engulfed in a firestorm
Black winged minions now take flight
Bringing battle angels a fantastic fight

Black out the sun, my will be done
As the crows circle you
Feast for the worms, death on our terms
Let the slaughter now ensue

Ancient power now reborn
The end of humanity
No one left to save your world
Only my hellscream

The angels retreat to the skies
Leaving behind pathetic cries
The soulless abandon you for dead
Heroes fall as my darkness spreads

Lifeless surround, slaves to be bound
As my hounds search for you
Those who survive; eaten alive or tortured
Pets under my rule

Ancient power now reborn
The end of humanity
No one left to save your world
Only my hellscream


2. MIND REAPERS

Ordinary men traveling into the skies
But there are truths buried behind every lie
Wise men bite their tongues while hiding in seclusion
Now angry ghosts afraid to seek their retribution

We fear you, can't see you
Scouring our minds for forgotten memories

We're dying to know
(What the truth is)
While under control
(Sleep!)
Watching the skies
(Although useless)
Through programmed eyes

Poor souls awakened and branded with psychosis
Mind-tricked with confusion and mass hypnosis
Government creates another cover story
Diverting attention with reports of false glory

We fear you, can't see you
Scouring our minds for forgotten memories

Were dying to know
(What the truth is)
While under control
(Sleep!)
Watching the skies
(Although useless)
Through programmed eyes

Through Programmed eyes

The sleepers, mind reapers
The sleepers, mind reapers

No, they won't let me go
Afraid of what I know

The sleepers, mind reapers
The sleepers, mind reapers

No, now under control
My thoughts are not my own

We fear you, can't see you
Scouring our minds for forgotten memories

We're dying to know
(What the truth is)
While under control
(Sleep!)
Watching the skies
(Although useless)
Through programmed eyes
We're dying to know
(What the truth is)
While under control
(Sleep!)
Watching the skies
(Although useless)
Through programmed eyes

The sleepers, mind reapers
The sleepers, mind reapers


3. MADE IMMORTAL

Sick, parasites infesting me
Upon Death's door soon shall I be
I'm growing numb my flesh is weak
Inevitable

A change within me
Becoming strong
Power flowing through me
And I will age no more

I no longer fear the black
I've been made immortal
I no longer fear the black
I've been made immortal

Pain, sharp charges shooting through me
Chilled from inside, cannot breathe
My dying heart no longer beats
I am inhuman

A change within me
Becoming strong
Power flowing through me
And I will age no more

I no longer fear the black
I've been made immortal
I no longer fear the black
I've been made immortal

Slowly I will succumb
Look at what I have become
All I was I now despise
I see myself now with new eyes

Reborn, I'm immune to death's cold hand
No longer a mortal man
Infused with powers of a God
I'II live forever

A change within me
Becoming strong
Power flowing through me
And I will age no more

I no longer fear the black
I've been made immortal
I no longer fear the black
I've been made immortal


4. PHOENIX (WE'LL RISE)

With a fury they came out of the sky
An attack without warning, unrelenting
They thought they struck a fatal blow
Little did they know we'd awaken and be reborn

We gave our all
Now return to form
In a flash of light no longer burning bright
Here we go
Smoke starts churning
Embers burning

Taste of vengeance
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Up from the ashes
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Phoenix; we'll rise

Chaos and confusion surround us all
Ghosts relive the horrors they faced in the
ruins of this place
The heroic gather to fight on
Preparing for the coming violence, the quiet
before the storm

We gave our all
Now return to form
In a flash of light no longer burning bright
Here we go
Smoke starts churning
Embers burning

In a flash of light no longer burning bright
Here we go
Smoke starts churning
Embers burning

Taste of vengeance
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Up from the ashes
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Phoenix; we'll rise

After all the smoke has cleared
So many lives were taken yet still remembered
For them we raise our banners high
Watch our colors fly in glory, Victory eternal

We gave our all
Now return to form
In a flash of light no longer burning bright
Here we go
Smoke starts churning
Embers burning

Taste of vengeance
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Up from the ashes
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Phoenix; we'll rise again
Phoenix; we'll rise


5. GORGON STARE

A hideous demi-god, the last born of three gorgons
Cursed by the Goddess Athena
Lays dormant in a crypt just along the river Styx
...Now a battle-worn arena

Filled with men catatonic
Permanent state of panic

Behold a littered scene, statuettes; petrified screams
Pillars of fallen heroes
Some posed to the attack others broken, chipped & cracked
Many pierced with arrows

Quick avert your eyes
She has the power to hypnotize
Those who dare enter here
Better beware the gorgon stare

She slithers through the dark, flying arrows find their mark
The soldiers quickly scatter
With a horrific groan their commander turns to stone
Topples over and shatters

One by one catatonic
Permanent state of panic

Quick avert your eyes
She has the power to hypnotize
Those who dare enter here
Better beware the gorgon stare


6. THE GREAT COLLECTOR

In this game you call life, many times passed me by
With a smile and a nod I go unnoticed
Giving not a second glance, I return no second chance
When your time is up we leave despite your protests

I am a face with no name
Two steps behind and your time is coming
The countdown's begun
There's nowhere to run

Some pine over past mistakes, creating their own fate
Lost in reflections and done in by sorrow
You're each given just one life, enjoy it while still time
At any moment I can steal tomorrow

I am a face with no name
Two steps behind and your time is coming
The countdown's begun
There's nowhere to run

I've waited patiently evermore
We'll journey through the never
On through the eye of the storm
And straight onto forever

I've waited patiently evermore
We'll journey through the never
On through the eye of the storm
And straight onto forever

I am a face with no name
Two steps behind and your time is coming
The countdown's begun
There's nowhere to run

Time to depart without delay, as you bow out of the game
You're struggling to stay awake and keep the lights on
You were given a head start; your soul's a work of art
And you should know that I am the great collector

I am a face with no name
Two steps behind and your time is coming
The countdown's begun
There's nowhere to run

I've waited patiently evermore
We'll journey through the never
On through the eye of the storm
And straight onto forever


7. LAST CHARGE OF A BLOODY BRIGADE

Death waits behind us the task at hand's large
We stand shoulder to shoulder
A mighty human wall
Upon a pale horse he orders the charge
With courage in our hearts
And rifles in our hands we will stand tall

The bugle sounds, across open ground
There is glory to be found
Fatal mistake, all hell awaits
Last charge of a bloody brigade
All around us bodies falling... screaming

Skeleton hand pointing us to the grave
We dodge cannon fire
Bodies litter the ground
Nodding with pleasure as he leads the way
Deaf ringing in our ears
Through smoke, bullets, and pain we push forth proud

The bugle sounds, across open ground
There is glory to be found
Fatal mistake, all hell awaits
Last charge of a bloody brigade
All around us bodies falling... screaming

We race ever closer to the enemy line
They hold their fire till they see the whites of our eyes
One last heroic charge now ends for this
Fallen bloody brigade

Into hellfire not one will survive
The bugle sounds, across open ground
There is glory to be found
Fatal mistake, all hell awaits
Last charge of a bloody brigade
All around us bodies falling... screaming

One last heroic charge now ends for this
Fallen bloody brigade


8. VII

I eat what I want; far more than I ought
I embrace my gluttony
I live in squalor so don't you bother
My sloth-like serenity
Accumulating; I keep collecting
Never enough to feed my greed
My inside's devoured by a green-eyed monster
Better known to all as envy

And I will be forever bound
To these seven sins I'm...
Found shackled and sinking
Seven sins condemn my life
Seven sins are suffocating
Seven sins I can't break free of
VII

And I will slowly drown
As each one pulls me down
In my head they whisper aloud
You never will get out
And I will slowly drown

As each one pulls me down

I take such pride in knowing I'm right
My ego knows no boundaries
And don't dare question any of my actions
Or my wrath you shall unleash
But lust is my favourite; how I love to taste it
Open yourself to me

And I will be forever bound
To these seven sins I'm...
Found shackled and sinking
Seven sins condemn my life
Seven sins are suffocating
Seven sins I can't break free of
VII

And I will slowly drown
As each one pulls me down
In my head they whisper aloud
You never will get out
And I will slowly drown
As each one pulls me down


9. ACT OF GOD

Ears ringing, deaf screaming
Some fleeing, others kneeling
One last prayer, shared nightmare
Someone shouts... it's judgment day

Final chapter end of story
Frightened souls, civil unrest
We bow out in all our glory
As humanity fails the test

Act of god unravels creation
Act of god widespread devastation
Act of god total annihilation

Eyes widen, hearts pounding
Can't believe it, it's coming
The taker, un-maker
Welcome to the end of days

Final chapter end of story
Frightened souls, civil unrest
We bow out in all our glory
As humanity fails the test

Act of god unravels creation
Act of god widespread devastation
Act of god total annihilation

Denial, survival
We panic and cower
Horizon in fire
Bear witness to man's doomsday

Final chapter end of story
Frightened souls, civil unrest
We bow out in all our glory
As humanity fails the test

Act of god unravels creation
Act of god widespread devastation
Act of god total annihilation
Act of god


10. WHEN FOREVER ENDS

We both made mistakes but in the end I am here with you
Right by your side you know that I would never leave you
I know you're scared, I won't show it but I am frightened Too
Hold me tight this will all be over soon

Can we please go on pretending?
One more time as the world's ending

Just stare into my eyes
As the stars fall from the sky
Surrounded by a million cries
When forever ends for you and I

Who would've thought that on this day we'd be together?
Ignore the sounds and screams of the end drawing nearer
Watch my eyes and remember just how we used to be
Right now it's only you and me

Can we please go on pretending?
One more time as the world's ending

Just stare into my eyes
As the stars fall from the sky
Surrounded by a million cries
When forever ends for you and I

Just stare into my eyes
As the stars fall from the sky
Surrounded by a million cries
When forever ends for you and I

Even at the end your smile always makes things better
Once upon a time I promised that we'd be forever
I feel you trembling; let me be the stronger of us two
Through the blinding light all I see is you

Can we please go on pretending?
One more time as the world's ending

Just stare into my eyes
As the stars fall from the sky
Surrounded by a million cries
When forever ends for you and I


11. WORLDWIDE DIVIDE

Corrupt leaders, perverted preachers
Fill our minds with insecurity
Manipulation, a failing nation
To speak out is treason or blasphemy

With closed eyes we follow blindly
All around us innocence dying
Grasping tight our hold is slipping
Sinking feeling... something's missing

Caught in a worldwide divide
And struggling to stay alive
Getting lost between two sides
Swimming against the tide
Caught in a worldwide divide
As I struggle to stay alive

The world's most hated, our money wasted
An economic loss of identity
They recession as a weapon
The rich get richer, a middle class in poverty

Tragedy strikes once again
A homeland attacked from within
Silently we mourn for
Our sons and daughters, mothers, fathers
We swear through our tears
We'll end this violence tonight
And once and for all set everything right

Genocidal nightmare, global warfare
Madmen with their own ideas of policy
The slow murder of Mother Nature
A facedown lifeless lady liberty

With closed eyes we follow blindly
All around us innocence dying
Grasping tight our hold is slipping
Sinking feeling... something's missing

Caught in a worldwide divide
And struggling to stay alive
Getting lost between two sides
Swimming against the tide
Caught in a worldwide divide
As I struggle to stay alive
