Lyrics


1. THE FALLEN

Here I stand stained in red
Bodies lie all around
The battle and lives the cost
Paid in full and then some.

I look around this place
These hills as children we once did play
Those were times of innocence

Now the dead they own the place
And once was does not remain
Innocence has turned to pain

When death surrounds and lights not found
The fallen weep in misery,
My hand to theirs and theirs to mine
It's mine to give and them receive

When death surrounds and lights not found
The fallen weep in misery,
My hand to theirs and theirs to mine
It's mine to give and them receive

Now stand (now stand) my friend (my friend) it's not (it's not) the end (the end)
Your cries have not gone unheard
New life (new life) you'll lead (you'll lead) new things (new things) you'll see (you'll see)
And fill your spirit with a new hope...

Here I stand stained in red
Bodies lie all around
The battle and lives the cost
Paid in full and then some

When death surrounds and lights not found
The fallen weep in misery,
My hand to theirs and theirs to mine
It's mine to give and them receive


2. ARM YOURSELF

So arm yourself when it's time to fight for what you think is right
Your wits won't dodge all the hits
The strength you posses won't always stand the test
Everyone has fallen to their knees
So now while you can put on the full armor and take your stand
So when your enemy is near you won't be overcome

With fear their attacks come swift so take your hits but you'll stand once more
Don't let adversity and pain bring you down
At all times be ready be brave
Friend or foe no one know until it's too late
Then you feel the knife is sliding deeper in your back

This world is a battle ground
And their legions come to tear what we built down
With lies they'll try and some will fall
But all should heed this call
For those who destroy you will fall
This world is a battle ground
And their legions come to tear what we built down
With lies they'll try and some will fall
But all should heed this call

For those who destroy you will fall
You'll fall, you'll fall one day
For all the times that you preyed on the weak and the poor
It will add another chain

So arm yourself for all time with truth and wisdom by your side
Honor those who honor you in return


3. VILE

Vile human,
The world it weeps at your existence
At just the sight of you,
My blood it boils
I see all that you do,
I see the poison in you
But you know that few will stand tall in your way

Plant your seeds
With evil deeds
Poison more minds,
All that you find

Experts in greed
They take all they see
Destroying peace
Corroding the innocent

Vile being,
Your heart is black and veins run cold
Love the wages,
Of wickedness,
Seducer

Life hangs by threads

Fear is how we fall
The fear that we are not strong
Fear is how we fall
The fear that we are not strong


4. THE DRAKEST HOUR

In times,
Of darkness,
Fear, and pain,
All,
Seems dark,
Unwavering, unchanged

The war,
Is long,
The end, unseen
But the darkest hour,
Is just before dawn

In times,
Of darkness,
Fear, and pain,
All,
Seems dark,
Unwavering, unchanged

The war,
Is long,
The end, unseen
But the darkest hour,
Is just before dawn

Endure,
Hardships as discipline
Meant,
To strengthen your heart
Stand tall,
And head strong
Protect your light inside,
It will guide your way

Be ready
And waiting
This night it will not take you
Soon the dawn in come
And we'll be waiting
Be ready
And waiting
This night it will not take you
Soon the dawn in come
And we'll be waiting here, for you!


5. UPON THE RAGING STORM

Your body's filled with fire
Your heart is filled with ice
You never cared for others
So you will die, alone
So you will die, alone!

You're walking all along
You're running now through midnight's cold
They all will follow you
Will follow you
Until you die

You're walking all along
You're running now through midnight's cold
They all will follow you
Will follow you
Until you die

Your body's filled with fire
Your heart is filled with ice
You never cared for others
So you will die, alone

You're walking all along
You're running now through midnight's cold
They all will follow you
Will follow you
Until you die

You're walking all along
You're running now through midnight's cold
They all will follow you
Will follow you
Until you die

'Til you die!


6. MAJESTY

I am but a servant
Defeated in battle
Fallen and weak
To the halls of my majesty
I must go
What will be said
What punishment shall befall me

I walk up the stone stairs
To where the throne room lies
Fear surrounds me
And tears they fall
At the site of the doors
Brazen with gold
Fear surrounds me
And tears they fall
At the site of the doors
Brazen with gold

I walk into the hall
And I approach the throne
And there he sits in glory
There sits my all
I kneel before his throne
And i begin to cry
I don't deserve your mercy
I deserve to die
With all the mercy that i know
He looks me deep into my eyes
You've not failed me so
Walk in victory tonight,
Walk in victory tonight!

Allegiance renewed,
Spirit reborn
I serve A master of mercy,
And grace!


7. THE BEAUTY OF THIS FORM

I watch in wonder with racing heart and shaking hand
At the beauty of this form so delicate a creation
But at the same time fragile and weak that all eyes can see

The illusion of strength
Is quickly dispelled as
It's all destroyed with whisper and breath

The illusion of strength
Is quickly dispelled as
It's all destroyed with whisper and breath

The illusion of strength
Is quickly dispelled as
It's all destroyed with whisper and breath

Light and rain creation awake to touch with hand and the pleasure it would bring.
I am in awe of the beauty of this form no constrains in all it's shape and form

Light and rain creation awake to touch with hand and the pleasure it would bring.
I am in awe of the beauty of this form no constrains in all it's shape and form

My flesh cries for it all and with it all my flesh would die.

My flesh would die!

My flesh cries for it all and with it all my flesh would die.


8. LAST PAIN

I feel the blood running down my face again
With a look in his eyes that screams my demise
My life seems all but mine

Here I lie,
Awaiting
My death is looming

The blade that he draws must spill more blood that's mine
For all that has passed I cannot help but ask why am I the one to die
I face this end alone

I face this end alone!
I face this end alone!

The touch of his blade against my flesh
Fills him with pleasure so dark it passes not his lips
With a swift move my end is signed
I can feel my very essence being drained
I can hear the whispers of the demons poisoning his mind
more blood they say,
More lives!

I feel the blood running down my face again
With a look in his eyes that screams my demise
My life seems all but mine
