1. STREAM OF OBLIVION

Instrumental


2. IGNITION

Warlords in command
Power in their hands
Puppets in decay
Dark Age here to stay
Holy is their text
Justify your death

Here the blind drive the weak
Reeking corpses, flock of sheep
Ignorance makes 'em free
Beaten down by society
Ignition heals the curse, don't refuse
I'll be the spark to light the fuse

Billboards fill my sight
Colors ghastly bright
Consumption and fear
Making your message clear
Cash flows in your wake
Set our heads on stakes

(Refrain)
Here the blind drive the weak
Reeking corpses, flock of sheep
Ignorance makes 'em free
Beaten down by society
Ignition heals the curse, don't refuse
I'll be the spark to light the fuse

(Refrain)
Here the blind drive the weak
Reeking corpses, flock of sheep
Ignorance makes 'em free
Beaten down by society
Ignition heals the curse, don't refuse
I'll be the spark to light the fuse


3. SOMBER LIGHT

Insane thoughts are belief
Linger prior to relief
Boiling rage, steaming out
Thwarted by the grievous doubt.

Killing schemes, rushing fast
Wherefore has my mind been cast?
Thirst for blood, quenching fear
Satisfying primal…

Sin, possession within
Trapped inside my skin.
Dare, devil's wicked stare
Into madness glare.

(Refrain)
Stranger inside looks through my eyes,
Unchain the shadow in me.
Servant of another sphere whose might will
Disperse reason and spread somber light.

Frowning eye, no restraint
Body's been freed of constraint
Rumbling groan, piercing cry
Cursing masses in a sigh.

Mask is real, sticking tight
Wander in a realm of fright
Double face, scarred and seared
Inner conflict breaks to…

Storm, sparing not a form
Consorts also mourn.
Hate, tempest still awaits
Repent at heaven's gates.

(Refrain)
Stranger inside looks through my eyes,
Unchain the shadow in me.
Servant of another sphere whose might will
Disperse reason and spread somber light.


4. DELIRIUM TREMENS

Agony within swells my eyes
Only but a corpse, where's my pride
Cast away the plague I've been left as dead
Stranger to the hand I once fed

Sniff beyond the dead line
Animosity
Inject it in my spine
Shakes right through me

(Refrain)
WOW, madman's truth, gaining ground
Children of an idle brain become sound
Wisdom spoken sadly by the fool
Retribute the visions you abhor

Locked outside the sphere barred from life
Frail and gaunt my bones bear my strife
Whole world's pain is gathered in my disease
Bound by rules that still can't be seized

Sniff beyond the dead line
Animosity
Inject it in my spine
Shakes right through me

(Refrain)
WOW, madman's truth, gaining ground
Children of an idle brain become sound
Wisdom spoken sadly by the fool
Retribute the visions you abhor

Shaking fear bereaves with a gasp
Breaking bones released from my grasp
Final breath unfolds, this end so bare
Sing a dirge for me in the reaper's glare

(Refrain)
WOW, madman's truth, gaining ground
Children of an idle brain become sound
Wisdom spoken sadly by the fool
Retribute the visions you abhor


5. DEADNIGHTMARE

Jester tilts back his broken crown
Grinning and laughing just for a pound
Clever, wise and deft, inner fog
Shovelling sand into your nightly cogs

Born from the hag, relentless whore
Children of the wrong mouth-like hole
Cherish stink you inhale with love
Deceived you lie awake, nightmare solved

(Refrain)
Hey!! Shove your guilt aside
See the truth confined
Buried treasure lie
In your dozing mind

System brings might to the weak
Forcing the strong to linger deep
Fools are your heroes, their garb you crave
Take it out the closet for your next grave

Tired of living, it's time to lay
Breeding is suicide's sole delay
Trippin' times, figure it out yourself
Stand up to get a life and go to hell

(Refrain)
Hey!! Shove your guilt aside
See the truth confined
Buried treasure lie
In your dozing mind


6. CRUSADOR

Storm marches on, troops on trail
Sand fills my eyes, a blind veil
Force fights, spread darkness
Target is locked, murderer's bliss

Puppets' lies are our fate
No will to think, we're just bait
Trying to tame, hostile calls
"Piss us off, we'll kill you all".

Can't see beyond right and wrong
Eyes cannot see, the hypocrisy
Ashes will blow, hoping to sow
Seeds of sorrow that are urging to grow

(Refrain)
Can't ever subdue
Ignorance in you
Faithful ally roams
Every devout dome
Killing is god's will, bow 'till your own demise

Scarf on my head, bomb tied close
Eyes are empty, hollow core
Bred by the book that preaches Hate
Jihad calls, new crusade

Slaughter the west and their ideals
Burn the unbelievers' deals
Heathen heads, put on stakes
Justify in god's name.

Can't see beyond right and wrong
Eyes cannot see, the hypocrisy
Ashes will blow, hoping to sow
Seeds of sorrow that are urging to grow

(Refrain)
Can't ever subdue
Ignorance in you
Faithful ally roams
Every devout dome
Killing is god's will, bow 'till your own demise

Threshold of my woe
Won't salvage my soul
Frustration as only weapon, kill some more
Truth is biting cold
Blinded eyes so soar
Battle of mine is such a useless cause


7. NOT ENOUGH TIME

In due time I'll dirge this out,
But the words will stain and leave you blind,
Darkest of hours distorts my face,
And I scream out a whisper, fall from grace.

Drying off my depleting corpse,
Heart is drained but still keeps to pour.
Distance fading the humming voice,
And blurring my sight.

Hemal fluids stain on the wall,
Proven fast to beat you down and fall.
Echoes answer to my screamin' call,
Time is right for pain.

Now comes my trial,
Looking down on my sufficiency.
Forced to agree,
That loneliness, social apathy.

Force-fed ideas,
Turning stale within, 'till they spill.
Hurling them out before you choke,
Safe you are now, off of the hook.

Sentenced to live,
Among flooding hoards I drown.
Crushed by denial,
Lifeless cell, (yeah, yeah!!)

(Refrain)
All that I dread
Brings down my Self
Plaguing my head
Burnt down and tread
Throw it away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Away
Selfish for life
Carry my strife
Outburst of lies
Closed and confined
Cast 'em aside
Enemy's side
Not enough time
Flee with my crime

Wash off your eyes,
Blackened cloth clears your sins of betrayal.
Open the Dark again,
Diving back in where dreams are so real.

Couldn't care more,
But the trigger's pulled, now die.
Cursed by the horror,
No remorse, 'till later.

(Refrain)
All that I dread
Brings down my Self
Plaguing my head
Burnt down and tread
Throw it away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Away
Selfish for life
Carry my strife
Outburst of lies
Closed and confined
Cast 'em aside
Enemy's side
Not enough time
Flee with my crime


8. CRAVE

Darkness all around
Depression stays profound,
Your light remains unfound

Undergo the pain
That's wasted here in vain,
Things will never be the same

Soothing face I see
Fills the void in me,
Disappear to drain me some more.

Reverse, repeat again
Unlock the cage I'm in

(Refrain)
Yearns for beyond control
Contempt in your eyes leaves me wanting more
Friend foe unveils from your soul
Die

Senses take control
Obscured forevermore
Revive the vision of it all

Recall the memory,
To flee anxiety,
Off the cliff of sanity,

Ruins of my past
Towered by the mist,
Shadows keep roaming in my soul

Living in the past
Temptation seems to last,
Deny your feelings, for the best

Memories I keep,
Conceal them in so deep,
Scarred for life I what you reap

Reverse, repeat again
Unlock the cage I'm in

(Refrain)
Yearns for beyond control
Contempt in your eyes leaves me wanting more
Friend foe unveils from your soul
Die


9. STORMKEEPER

Reeling in the shadows, insanity concealed,
Stepping out in moonlight, bestiality revealed,
Blood stains on the ground,
Recall the screaming sound.
The rush that floods my mind,
Is craving for more…
Feeding off the hatred, that lies in humankind,
Oppression of the masses, reject it with a crime,
Deep inside my lair, Existence seems so bare,
Drowning in despair, gasping for some air,

Who could ever know?
The emptiness I feel
This voice keeps me alive
Through the hell I live, and…

Feel…
Don't you think that it's time?
Hiding from nothing
Cast my guilt into the sea
Stormkeeper will always be me.

Seeking for a victim, to exercise my might,
Searching for a prey, that will not last the night,
Mist as my disguise,
Demons as my guides,
Always by my side,
Slaughter ‘till she…
Dies, to meet a violent death, equal to my pain,
I give what I receive in life, justice has been made,
Life and death are nought,
But states that have been taught,
To never match, but me,
I dwell in both, you see.

Who could ever know?
The emptiness I feel,
Without this voice I'm doomed,
To fall into decay,

Feel…
Don't you think that it's time?
Hiding from nothing
Cast my guilt into the sea
Stormkeeper will always be me

Lying corpse in my hands, bleeding endlessly
Frustration now rising, takes a hold of me,
What creature am I?
To kill when I decide,
The voice that saved my life,
Will take it with a knife

Feel,
Don't you think that it's time?
Hiding for nothing,
Cast my gilt into the sea,
Stormkeeper will no longer…
Feel…
Don't you think that it's time?
Hiding from nothing
Cast my guilt into the sea
Stormkeeper will always be me.


10. BLOOD LUST

Land of the sunrise
Dew and mist subside
Shadows fade to show
Calm scene meant to blow
Roar of threat is heard
Fills the air inert
Bird of prey in clouds
Hunting souls to shroud
Await the reaper
Call the gravedigger
Flick of scythe been paid
Bomber has just laid

Green man's war brought the dark
Treated us as underdogs
Answer bullets with a bark

Chaos over the sprawl
Warfucks cause our downfall
Armageddon is near
We will all disappear

Possessed by chaos
Metal strikes we're lost
Deaf flood blinding all
Realm of dying calls
No face left in sight
Vengeful appetite
Feed upon our grief
Cherish life you steal
Final battle has begun
For the sake of salvation
Humans never stand as one

Chaos over the sprawl
Warfucks cause our downfall
Armageddon is near
We will all disappear

Smell of burning skin
Bodies peeling sins
Strident sound arrays
Moves this death ballet

Evil's now been sown
Shattered faces shown
Retreat to the lair
Guilty cowards fare

Chaos over the sprawl
Warfucks cause our downfall
Armageddon is near
We will all disappear


11. THE LAST RAIN

Black rain burns the peeling skin so soar
Behold my wretched corpse
Been breathing life through holes
Drilled in my shrunken throat

Nothing in sight's alive
Has no one else survived?
The unleashing of hell
And captured by its spell

Collect my fallen limps
Pack up my intestines
A journey now awaits
To find life and its fate

The last rain is pouring down
Flooding creatures of the ground
Angry tempest bound to slay
Mankind, its evil ways
Last line has just been crossed
Humanity is lost
Get rid of greed's main man
Last rain, leads to the end

Countless bodies ripped and torn apart
The blinding light has caught
All that had sight and thought
And left me in the dark

Beyond the fallen walls
Where once the urban sprawl
Denaturing us all
Has forced us down to crawl

Shelter me from the rain
That storms inside my brain
Existence seems so bare
When in despair

The last rain is pouring down
Flooding creatures of the ground
Angry tempest bound to slay
Mankind, its evil ways
Last line has just been crossed
Humanity is lost
Get rid of greed's main man
Last rain, leads to the end

Shadows fade, turn to mist
Selfish souls are clean of guilt
Fallout fills, earth and air
Taking back under its care
You beget what you have sown
Harvesting the final storm
Nature thrives, on its own
Sitting back again on its throne
