Lyrics


1. Walking Dead

You chose to seal your fate
The day you showed your face
From the sky you took our pride
And tried to bring disgrace
The terror you think you are
Lives only in your head
You just don't know it yet but you're already dead

Cries
Of the Eagle
Eyes
Of vengeance on you now
Talons
Never miss their mark
Dive
In for the kill

Hiding in your underworld
A hell of sand and stone
Striking with a Godlike force
Your home becomes your tomb
Mountains fall and winds that burn
The earth begins to quake
The melody of your demise
The music that we make

Cries
Of the Eagle
Eyes
Of vengeance on you now
Talons
Never miss there mark
Dive
In for the kill

You're
Walking dead
You're
You're walking dead
You're
Walking dead
You're
You're walking dead

Forever now the world has changed
By demons in your mind
Instilled resolve determination
Eradicate your kind
You chose to seal your fate
The day you raised your head
Soulless lifeless bastard breed
Now you're walking dead

Cries
Of the Eagle
Eyes
Of vengeance on you now
Talons
Never miss their mark
Dive
In for the kill

In for the kill


2. Burdened

Burdened by the weight
I withstand all that crowd my space
Lost adrift a sea of second rate
An endless maze
Time will tell us
Who will be there standing tall
An epic figure
Unto which the masses all shall crawl

I'll carry on
Time to take up arms and run you through
My heart beats strong
Passion guides me through all that I do

One by one you'll fall
I'm the fear that clouds your eyes
Days are running low
Time to say your last goodbyes
The sun will never shine
Upon your twisted fantasy
Face to face I'll take you
Lay to rest your misery

I'll carry on
Time to take up arms and run you through
My heart beats strong
Passion guides me through

There's nothing you can change
No way to forgive the pain

A new day brings
The promise and a hope again
The blood that has been shed
Feeds the starving barren land
Giving future lives a chance to survive
In a world free from all that you have been

I'll carry on
Time to take up arms and run you through
My heart beats strong
Passion guides me through all that I do


3. The Only Way I Know

My life is flying by so fast
It seems like just the other day
The choices I made
The questions I asked
Have they led me a stray
I know there's one thing for certain
I am the best at what I do
One million percent and no regrets
Is the only way I know

I am consumed by a force within my soul
A part of me since birth but still beyond my control

Each day that becomes the night
Could be the one the last my friend
It's things as these that sets it free
Overwhelming feeling
I have no defense
Finely crafted skills shall channel
This megaton beast of creation
One million percent and no regrets
Is the only way I know

I am consumed by a force within my soul
A part of me since birth but still beyond my control

The Only way I know
The Only way I know

I feel it
It's coming
The fire that won't stop burning
It takes me
Forsakes me
A dark secret I'm still learning

From where it comes I'll never know
And in its wake it leaves me scarred
A legacy of song and show
Upon the Earth I'll leave my mark
It's shown me one thing for certain
I am the best at what I do
One million percent and no regrets
Is the only way I know

I am consumed by a force within my soul
A part of me since birth I will never control

The only way I know
It's the only way I know
No other way to go


4. Face Of Death

Moving pictures our reality
Wondering what it's all for
People talking, yet nobody sees
Beyond all that they think they know
Guilty by your insanity
Always condemning
First to cast the stone

In the face of death
We will stand alone
No one to judge
No one to say
What you should have done
In the face of death
This will all be gone
Live your own way
Soon you will be
In the face of death

Are we really ever good enough
All these things we try to be
Constant struggles for some peace of mind
Life through unfounded dignity
It's just a game you'll never win
'Cause in the end
We're all the same you know

In the face of death
We will stand alone
No one to judge
No one to say
What you should have done
In the face of death
This will all be gone
Live your own way
Soon you will be
In the face of death

Look inside and let it go
Embrace individuality
The differences between us justifying hate
Leaving us with only misery
There's no pride in hypocrisy
Live and let live
You'll know the answer soon

In the face of death
We will stand alone
No one to judge
No one to say
What you should have done
In the face of death
This will all be gone
Live your own way
Soon you will be
In the face of death

Death


5. Midnight Hellfire

Strong sleek shiny and black
Just two beats shy of a heart attack
Feel it calling feel it drawing me in
Don't try to resist 'cause I'll never win
Take the seat turn the key give it life
Buckle down for this white knuckle ride
Feel its power I must set it free
More damn horses than a cavalry

Light the streets ablaze
They'll never touch me
Lay them all to waste
They'll never catch me in my
Midnight Hellfire
Midnight Hellfire

Wide open hear this monster roar
I give it hell but it's hungry for more
Red lines they don't mean a thing
Behind the wheel of this demon machine
The lights the leather the smell of the fuel
Engine raging drunken with attitude
On the edge of never returning
Still this baby keeps on burning

Light the streets ablaze
They'll never touch me
Lay them all to waste
They'll never catch me in my
Midnight Hellfire
Midnight Hellfire

Winding down time to take her back in
I may be stopping but it's sure not the end
It won't be long till the next time we meet
Bringing doom showing others defeat
Strong sleek shiny and black
Just two beats shy of a heart attack
I feel it calling feel it drawing me in
Set the night on fire again

Light the streets ablaze
They'll never touch me
Lay them all to waste
They'll never catch me in my
Midnight Hellfire
Midnight Hellfire
Burn 'em down


6. Undying Love

I've tried to tell you a million times
You think you see right through me
I guess your love is blind
So life goes on without you
Can't take it anymore

And now I'm breakin' free
I'd say I've done my time
You wanna make the rules
I won't abide
You wont let me go

Let me go

Over and over, the fights we've had
The same old shit a different day
You never understand
Too late for you to hold on
I'm never coming back
And now I realize
The strength that's within me
And I won't fantasize what this could be
I already know

You'll be the death of me
Taking the best of me
I never sold you my soul
You'll never let me go
My undying love

And now I'm breakin free
I'd say I've done my time
You wanna make the rules
I wont abide
Now I know for sure
And now I realize
The strength that's within me
And I won't fantasize what this could be
I already know

My Undying Love
I've tried to tell you a million times


7. Decapitation Attack (Instrumental)


8. Act Of God

Don't want to get to know you better
What do you want from me
I don't understand the signs you're givin'
'Cause you never let me see
You've got a strange pre-occupation
Keep 'em holdin' on
Wanna know who you really are
Not this thing that you've become

So tell me what it takes|
Just to get through this facade
'Cause your words have left me broken|
And the answers become scars
When I think I've had all that I can take
You just keep me holdin' on
Tell me how to get through to you
Would it take an act of God

Shackled to misery
There's no faith left for you
Back to the way it was before
That first pain that ya knew
Damned by the way you live
You're only telling lies
Still some way underneath it all
I can feel through the disguise

So tell me what it takes
To get through this facade
'Cause your words have left me frozen
And the answer's still unthawed
When I think I've had all that I can take
You just keep me holdin' on
Tell me how to get through to you
Would it take an act of God

've begun to believe there's just no breaking through
Wanna tear down the walls but there's nothin' I can do

I don't want to get to know you better
No I don't want anything
You're so lost in the fantasy you're livin'
That you're never gonna see
I'm so done trying to understand the reasons
For feeling so alone
I don't care who you really are
I know what we've become

There's an ending to this story
'Cause I know now who you are
And I've wasted many years
Trying to figure out your farce
This time I've had all that I can take
I'm better off alone
If you think I'll play your game again
It'll take an act of God


9. Vainglory

The fight of your life
How much can you endure
A race against time
A place within the world
For in one moment there's no second chances
Don't let it slip away
You are the one
You feel it in your blood
It's running through your veins

Something that never dies this Vainglory
Keeping us all alive this Vainglory

The thrill of the hunt
The warrior inside
We'll forge wings of steel and leave our fears behind
With open arms and open minds to show
We are the ones
It's there within our blood
A force we can't control

Something that never dies this Vainglory
Keeping us all alive this Vainglory

The passion lives
Becoming one in light
And love forgives
Within this Vainglory

Press on through the doubt and negativity
Keep the wolves at bay
Let no one give you grief
Believe in you and rise above it all
You are the on
You feel in your blood
A force you can't control

Something that never dies this Vainglory
Keeping us all alive this Vainglory


10. Endlessly

Falling, falling destiny calling
Your voiceless captivating hold
Wanting waiting anticipating
I'm forever yours
Black is the night now
Living without you
0 Till we're together again

Endlessly
I'll be waiting for you
My eternal flame
You are the one
You've got to know
I give myself forever
Endlessly

So amazing how you have saved me
From all the tragedy I've known
Sleepless waking if you're forsaking
Let the dream go on
Never again I need look no further
'Cause your the one meant for me

Endlessly
I'll be waiting for you
My eternal flame
You are the one
You've got to know
I give myself forever
Endlessly

Endlessly

No more waiting
Come and save me
Bring me back to life
Again

And you know I'll be there
Devoted to the love we share
Everyday babe I'm gonna give you
All a woman can
I can't imagine my life without you
I know our love's meant to be

Endlessly
I'll be waiting for you
My eternal flame
You are the one
You've got to know
I give myself forever
Endlessly

Endlessly


11. Blackened Soul

You have no clue what you've done
You're thinking only of one
The time has finally come
And now your blood will run

No way to change it now
I'm here to cut you down
No one will hear you cry
As you begin to die
Your life all over my hands
It's time you understand
You nailed the coffin tight
Every time you chose to fight
Your mind's a waste of thought
Corrupt in all you've taught
Brought pain to other's lives
And now the turn of tide
Face up show your hand
Never to deal again
This is the final run
Your world will come undone

I spill your blackened soul
Into the pit of hell
The place where you belong
At last you've found your home

Every time you open your mouth
You show what you're about
A worthless shell of pain
Now victim to your game
Every time you draw a breath
A closer step to death
Your end begins today
No matter if you pray
I'll watch you writhe and plead
Growing weaker as you bleed
And as you're losing sight
You'll see what wasn't right
Too bad that it's too late
The irony of fate
There is no second chance
When death begins to dance

I spill your blackened soul
Into the pit of hell
The place where you belong
At last you've found your home

No way to change it now
I'm here to cut you down
No one will hear you cry
as you begin to die

I spill your blackened soul
Into the pit of hell
The place where you belong
At last you've found your home


12. My Living Hell

Hell now
Living under animosity
Lay down
Opening the sacrifice to see
No more
You think you've got my number
Disgraced
As I kill the day again
You fail to see I've given up
It's just gone I've had enough
No confusion in my mind
Now I've got to draw the line
You'll see

'Cause I've done my time
Trapped in your prison cell
And this life with you
Has become my living hell

Restrained
Seeming in a false reality
Conveyed
Everything that you could never see
So wrong
Justification's coming
Long gone
Reduced to yourself again
You bled the life right out of me
Nothing left for you to bleed
This transfusion's running dry
And it's time for this to die today

'Cause I've done my time
Trapped in your prison cell
And this life with you
Has become my living hell

My living hell
It's become a living hell

Can't take it back it's too late
You know the damage done
So time for you to go now
I don't care anymore

You lied
When you said that you were never wrong
Apologies

What you never did for all you've done
Oh no
That's it too late it's over
Eat this
Hope you will regret all of your
Thoughtless ways and empty words
So obscene it seems absurd
How you tried to justify
All the awful things you did to me

'Cause I've done my time
Trapped in your prison cell
And this life with you
Has become my living hell
