1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. 10^2640000 (LIFE)

As I stand on the edge of ruin
Eyes locked on the wasteland (that beckons me)
The haze obstructs my senses
Hard to say what I hear and see
Is this a dream ? It feels so real
Fear grips I cannot breathe
Am I awake, what am I seeing ?
Premonitions so bold it’s like a memory

I see the pain through the river
Blood red from money lust
I hear the cries, of our dying era
Ignorance of men undone

Cut from the ground, throw into the oceans
Throw the balance of life into turmoil
Man saw, men desired
The power of destruction

In this dream I can’t be unhappy
The virus that infests the world
Turned to ash, with the power of wisdom
The chance to amend left with the stars

|//|No more anger
Only the need for survival
|//|No more power
The balance of life restored

I feel alone
In this lust for revival
I feel loneliness
Until the end of our time
My dream of our planet surviving
Is but a reach so far away
As the power is restored to the beast
As the light consumes the Earth

I see no clear future
No visions to inspire hope
No thought to longevity
A ghost of man, murdered by greed

We drain the oil, out of the past
We pull the roots, out of the future (I’ll live to see the fall of man)
An inhabitable wasteland
Left for our childrens lives

I see the pain, bleed through the river
I hear the cries, of our dying era

My dream of our planet surviving
Is but a reach so far away
As the power is restored to the beast
As the light consumes the Earth
|//|No more anger
Only the need for survival
|//|No more power
The balance of life restored

As I stand on the edge of ruin
Eyes locked on the wasteland (that beckons me)
The haze obstructs my senses
Hard to say what I hear and see
Is this a dream ? It feels so real
Fear grips I cannot breathe
Am I awake, what am I seeing ?
Premonitions so bold it’s like a memory


3. THE CLEANSING

Lying restlessly, against the gates of death
Black walls creeping in my mind
Shadows in fog
Defined by light

I’m not your savior (In fear you will confide)
I’m not your sacred lies, I’m death inside

Behold before your eyes, a broken son of mine
A child deceived by light, captive to my state of mind

Pray loud and clear for I, god of destruction and king of the skies
Chaos falls upon your lands, in screams and fire I relinquish command

Come forth, to my, kingdom come; I’ll fill your skies
With the black inside my mind, see the red light in my eyes

Behold before your eyes, a broken son of mine
A child deceived by light, captive to my state of mind

Come forth, to my, kingdom come; I’ll fill your skies
With the black inside my mind, see the red light in my eyes
Through smoke cast from your lands, through the greed cast forth from man
I’ll turn your rivers into blood, you will emerge cleansed from my flood.


4. DESOLATION

(Instrumental)


5. THE FALL OF KINGS

Blessed from the fall (the fall of kings)
A vacancy of the emperor’s throne
Rise of the fallen (the fallen of lords)
Will erect the ashes

We will take from the gods
The keep of the mistaken throne
We will slay all in our path
For honor we will stand

In the eyes of the gods
We will march for their defective kings head
Our vengeance outmatched by none
Will echo the fallen

The blood spilled today will stain the mountains
Our brothers have fallen for freedom
Avenging the deaths of our fathers
Buried inside our lost kingdom

Awaken from our compliance
We stand firm, against our oppressors
Our fractured cry, shattering coercion
A hunt for freedom, starting with the head of the king

In the fires of damnation
In the eyes of our righteous gods
In the hands of our newborn king
Sent to slap persecution

Fighting for our freedom, freedom from the gods
Fighting for our children’s lives, born into brutality

The blood spilled today will stain the mountains
Our brothers have fallen for freedom
Avenging the deaths of our fathers
Buried inside our lost kingdom
The blood spilled today will stain the mountains
Our brothers have fallen for freedom
Avenging the deaths of our fathers
Buried inside our lost kingdom

Blessed from the fall (the fall of kings)
A vacancy of the emperor’s throne
Rise of the fallen (the fallen of lords)
Will erect the ashes


6. LUCA

In the shadows, of the mountain
Soaring tall above the world
Breathed life into existence
Cast origin of us all

Thick black, trapped upon this rock
Constant struggle for a chance to survive
Cast back, mindful of our past
Among the forces of creation, in view of the light

Yet I’m alone, astounded by the heavens
Eyes open to creation above
Among the chaos, a beauty’s paralyzed
Captured in space and time, for the years to unfold
An endless journey across the expanses
To be discovered by life from so far away
Our place in time, so wasteful and so deprived
Will be suspended amongst the stars

I look toward, a future devoid of life
Once evolved from our last common ancestor
Now left in silence

My eyes, look toward the tree
Roots deep, deep within the ground
As the fire consumes the life
I question where we went so wrong

Cell upon cell, fighting for it’s chance
Adding odds to the incalculable questions
Life or death, an end yet it all began
In death, lies the key to creation

I look toward, a future devoid of life
Once evolved from our last common ancestor
Now left in silence

A clashing force, burns above the gods
Fueling chaos into a life form
Born out of hellfire
Born from the stars
An age old process
Burning long before the age of man
Will end, cease from existence
With the gift of death and life

This marks the end, and beginning
Without death there would be no life on earth
Born out of fire, born out of fate
We return to live amongst the stars again

In all this chaos, we still ask as to why
We were sheltered here
Born from eternal darkness
Yet there’s no reason as to why
In life, we harvest more than
More greed than we require
An endless desire
To burn it all

This is our life
A chance
To live amongst the gods
With a seat to the greatest show on earth
Amidst the stars
Is a view
Into the past
Light suspended in the void of space and time

A child ignorant to the ways of man
A savior, god to all walks of the precious life
A child ignorant to the ways
Of greed, of lust, of all that makes us human


7. ALL FUTILE

(Instrumental)


8. CHILDREN OF CONFLICT

Watch as one, watch as we follow
Watch us hate, lead us from my sorrow
Learn to fight, not to comfort the weak
Learn to kill, infants from mothers’ arms
Children of my conflict rise from defeat
Once fallen, not forgotten
Children of my conflict scarred and deformed
Unto enemy, unto brother alike

We all fall
We are the avengers, defeated and unformed
We are war born
Trained for death, murdered for greed and for war

We all fall
We are the avengers, defeated and unformed
We are war born
Trained for death, murdered for greed and for war
We all fall
We are the children, born in conflict
We are war torn
In life and death we serve no cause


9. FEAR AND DARKNESS

Unbelievable, throw your waste to the waves
We’ve lost sight of all that we own
Taking possession, of the mountain
Making slaves of the beast

In servitude, we hold the earth
Infecting our path of survival
In the coming ages, the skies will turn dark
Unleashed from the stars

Deep down from the waves, we will seal our own graves
Our greed and our lust is undone
Fight for survival, in the fires of forgiveness
Possessions held dear, remain in the dark

I wont hold on, to a future in black
The hunters return to their graves
Fire erupts from the sky, a dawn of new hope
The new age will prosper

Deep down from the waves, we will seal our own graves
Our greed and our lust is undone
Fight for survival, in the fires of forgiveness
Possessions held dear, remain in the dark

I wont hold on, to a future in black
The hunters return to their graves
Fire erupts from the sky, a dawn of new hope
The new age will prosper
I wont hold on, to a future in black
The hunters return to their graves
Fire erupts from the sky, a dawn of new hope
The new age will prosper


10. WINDS OF CHANGE

(Instrumental)


11. EPHEMERAL

One valley, sculpted
From the vast sheets of ice
Once towering above the gods
Laid to waste, laid into repression
A sight of greed before me
Left unto my child’s life
A final wish of preservation
Among the chaos a glimmer of light

Cover my eyes
A path of destruction
Hold close my inner child
A time for tears this is not

One mountain, sculpted
Risen up from the depths below
A beam of light illuminates
One path, a chance to follow
One chance to recoil not
From the ugliness worn outside
For the deformation lies within
Deep inside a sea of lies

I’ll watch the fall of men
Inside it feels right
How can one share such love
For beings crafted of hate
I’ll watch the age of man
Wither in the final lights
As a fire must slowly die
I leave this world behind

|||| Monster lying below || darkness rising
Shadow ahold of myself, hidden in dark
The black is not an image, an image of self
The darkness reflected from hearts – and feelings unfelt

I’ll watch the fall of men
Inside it feels right
How can one share such love
For beings crafted of hate
I’ll watch the age of man
Wither in the final lights
As a fire must slowly die
I leave this world behind

Oh creator
Why not make me of steel or stone
Why allow me to feel
The malignance has grown
Oh creator
My visage reflects darkness within
Go ahead, pull the trigger
