1. CHOSEN

Order is shattered in a strange gutteral tone resounded along the walls of the houses, which seemed dead and deserted, while, behind the closed shutters, eyes watched the conquerers, who, by right of war, were now masters of the city - of the lives and fortunes of its people.

In their darkened ruins the inhabitants have given way to the same feeling of panic which is aroused by natural cataclysms. Those devestating upheavals of the Earth, against which wisdom and strength alike are of no avail.

For the same feeling is experienced wherever the established order of things is upset, when security ceases to exist, when all that was previously protected by the laws of man or nature is suddenly placed at the mercy of brutal, unreasoning force:

The earthquake, burying a whole people beneath the ruins of their houses; the river in spate, sweeping the bodies of drowned peasants, together with the carcasses of cattle and rafters torn from roofs; or the victorious army slaughtering all who resist, making prisoners of the rest, looting by right of the sword, and thanking their god to the sound of cannon.

All these are terrifying scourges which undermine all our belief in eternal justice and all the trust we have been tought to place in divine protection and human reason.


2. JOY

Have I no control?
Is my soul not mine?
Am I not just man?
Just to be defined
Never to be ruled
Nor held to yeild
Not Heaven or Hell
Just the land between

Am I not man?
Is my heart not weak?
No law, no God, no hate, no pity, no pain, just me.

Comprehend of how to learn
Secrets in the sky have choose my way
Never to be ruled
Nor held to yeild
Nor Heaven nor Hell
Just the land between
And am I not man?

So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why do I love and why do feel that I carry a sword through a battle field?
So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why do I fight and why do I feel that I carry a sword, that I carry a sword.

Like a path to Heaven or a road to Hell
Our choices are our own consequence is mine
We are the kings of wisdom the fools as well
We are the Gods to many, we are humbled man
We will build great works just to break them down
We'll make our rules so we never fail

So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why do I love and why do feel that I carry a sword through a battle field?
So why do I love when I still feel pain?
When does it end, when is my work done?
Why do I fight and why do feel that I carry a sword, that I carry a sword through a battle field?


3. PROCESSION

Set me aflame and cast me free
Away you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
Always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of Justice
Like some law unto myself
Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubts from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.

In this picture stands a man
Far away, alone and distant
Like a solitary field
In some nameless foreign land.
All around him points of light
Start to dim and cease transmitting
Shadows fell on futile games
And then there was nothing more.
Through the screams of falling steel
By the light of flares and wisdom
All the doubts I could not face
All this time I wanted more.
With a line I mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
To the gods whose names we've lost
And the names who gave in vain.

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubts from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.

Set me aflame and cast me free
Away you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
Always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of Justice
Like some law unto myself
Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever
I have no doubts from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning
I have no doubt from what I've seen
I have never wanted more.

Sever the line to the guilty past
To the ones who brought us nothing
Spoke of futures brave and proud
And brought only hate and war.
Lined the roads with hollow praise
Marked the land with paper statues
Shadows fell on their futile ways
And then there was nothing more


4. VOICE

We are not the same
I am just one voice

We are not the same
You will hear my voice

We are not the same
I have just one voice

We are not the same
I am not your god


5. FORSAKEN

[For thirty years, I have plotted to bring down the blockade,
I am sick of the mind and body]

When I have nothing left to feel,
When I have nothing left to say,
I'll just let this slip away.

I feel these engines power down,
I feel this heart begin to bleed,
As I turn this burning page.

Please forgive me if I bleed,
Please forgive me if I breathe,
I have words I need to say,
And oh so very much to say.

And whose life do I lead?
Whose blood do I bleed?
Whose air do I breath,
With whose skin now do I feel?

I'm supposed to walk away from here [x2]

[help me][echo x3]

And whose life do I lead?
Whose blood do I bleed?
Whose air do I now breathe?
I'm convinced there's nothing more.

The day you died I lost my way,
The day you died I lost my mind,
What am I supposed to do,
Is there something more?

The Engines power down,
Like a soldier to his end I go,
Cause I'm convinced that there is nothing more.

And whose life do I lead?
Whose air do I breathe?
With who's skin and who's blood,
Do I feel? What happens now?

Have I done something wrong?
Forgive my need to bleed right now,
Please forgive my need to breathe,
But I've so much to say,
It wouldn't matter anyway,
You're not here to hear these words that I must say,
And I'm convinced inside that there is nothing more.

Whose life do I lead?
Whose air do I breathe?
Whose blood do I now bleed?
With whose skin now do I feel?

I've nothing left to say,
I have nothing left to feel,
Am I supposed to let this go now?
Let darkness come take you away?

[If your frightened of dying, and your holdin' on,
you'll feel devils tearing your life away;
If you've made your peace,
then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth]


6. ASCENSION

(no lyrics available)


7. HONOUR

Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve.
A nation that stands alone.
Cold voices, faces pale,
gathered unto their judgement day.
Such pride remains unbroken.
Such words remain unspoken.
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry.
Tears and medals in the rain.
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail.
The all clear resounding.
The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well,
to see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension.

Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for.
For our spirit and laws and ways.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
For heaven or hell we shall not wait.
Shall I think of honour as lies
or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
on this day in this stone chamber?

The all clear resounding.
The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well.
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled.
On this day of our ascension,
on this day we praise the fallen.

Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for.
For our spirit and laws and ways.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
For heaven or hell we shall not wait.
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?

9. SOLITARY

Set me aflame and cast me free.
Away, you wretched world of tethers.
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
Always thought that I would stand
before the faceless name of justice.
Like some law unto myself,
like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change
let it rain on us forever.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
that I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
as a symbol of beginning.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
that I have never wanted more.

In this picture stands a man,
far away, alone and distant.
Like a solitary field
in some nameless foreign land.
All around the points of light
start to dim and cease transmitting.
Shadows fell on futile games
and then there was nothing more.

Through the screams of falling steel.
By the light of flares and wisdom.
All the doubts I could not face.
All this time I wanted more.
With a line I'll mark the past
as a symbol of beginning.
To the gods whose names we've lost
and the names who gave in vain.

And if rain brings winds of change
let it rain on us forever.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
that I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
as a symbol of beginning.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
that I have never wanted more.

Set me aflame and cast me free.
Away, you wretched world of tethers.
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
Always thought that I would stand
before the faceless name of justice.

Like some law unto myself,
Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change
let it rain on us forever.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
that I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.

Sever the line to the guilty past,
To the ones who brought us nothing
Spoke of futures brave and proud
And brought only hate and war.
Lined the roads with hollow praise.
Marked the land with paper statues.

Shadows fell on their futile ways
And then there was nothing more.
