From The Ashes
05:36

Lost
Walking through the desert
Our goal has been polluted
Your vain mind tricks us and we
Tire
Our patience is depleted
The limits now exceeded
Now's the time for us to stand and
Burst
From the prelude to power
And as the fiery bird
Rise
Tear the world asunder
And silence the songs unheard
We burn illusions
Together we build from the ashes
An empire risen anew
This is the fruit of our labour
Take in the splendorous view
March through the antagony
As we fight, they prey
Breach the gates of your enemies
Make them regret their way
We must move on
Together we build from the ashes
An empire risen anew
This is the fruit of our labour
Take in the splendorous view
Together we build from the ashes
An empire risen anew
This is the fruit of our labour
Take in the splendorous view
Risen anew

Comfort of Shade
05:33

At times I feel like diving into the deepest of voids
Sometimes it just makes sense to escape all of the noise
I'm driven insane, your presence is not my choice at all
Commence isolation, cry out before you fall
Raging against your repetitive ways
You relish stagnation as life eternally fades
Take me away, solitude replaces the pain
Discarding light for the comfort of shade
Burn down with me, solitude calls out my name
Power and strength for dependence I trade
Watch how your world it crumbles around you revealing itself
Sullen and gray, its manic existence, I can repel
I have risen below the tempest of roars and thunder
Scorned by the masses, I yet live and witness your blunder
Dominate your senses, and believe what I say
Demand your ascendancy or just obey
Take me away, solitude replaces the pain
Discarding light for the comfort of shade
Burn down with me, solitude calls out my name
Power and strength for dependence I trade
Choose to resent or rejoice
Its all a question of choice
Rise and see the world as it can be
Fly and be free
Take me away, solitude replaces the pain
Discarding light for the comfort of shade
Burn down with me, solitude calls out my name
Power and strength for dependence I trade
Rise and see the world as it should be
Fly and be free

Running on Fumes
05:33

Focus like an iron sight
No questions, distractions, no outside light
A singular mind, ethereal might
Creation by force despite
Frayed skin, tendons and electric nerves
Pulse like a jackhammer, can't be disturbed
Adrenaline mind, a razor of will
I will prevail
Full speed ahead, all pistons firing
The gauges are red, fumes are all I need
Full speed ahead, ignite the inferno
I'll stop when I'm dead, fumes are all I need
Break the wheel, grind the hull to dust
Turn the engine by hand if I must
Charge forward, elation ahead
There will be time to lay down when I'm dead
Behold my creation, awesome pristine and magnificent
Exhilaration, finally triumph
Full speed ahead, all pistons firing
The gauges are red, fumes are all I need
Full speed ahead, ignite the inferno
I'll stop when I'm dead, fumes are all I need
Battered, bruised and breaking down
The engine is powered, the final flight
A singular mind, a paper crown
Created by force despite
Frayed skin, tendons and electric nerves
Pulse like a jackhammer, can't be disturbed
Adrenaline mind, a razor of will
I have prevailed
Full speed ahead, all pistons firing
The gauges are red, fumes are all I need
Full speed ahead, ignite the inferno
I'll stop when I'm dead, fumes are all I need
I have prevailed

Paralyzed
05:54
|

The thunder cracks through the air
A beam of light crushes the mountains
I stand in the eye of the vortex
Taking a stand, facing it all
Come take a look through the shroud, see what you find
Behind the mask, behind the highest spire
All of the things that makes you human
All of the things that makes you mine
You're just a part of my nightmare
Give me a sign
A name to call my own
So grand, so divine
Give me a sign
Cold stars and fiery oceans
Colliding waves in a sea of thoughts
Watching the great implosion
As my lucid mind takes control
I'm paralyzed
Transcending into an empty void
In a state of truth or insanity
My only way is to end this mascaraed
The solar winds will come and take me home
Clarity from under the sky
Lights the darkened road
Showing me a path that I
Couldn't see before
Memories from the past
Flash before my eyes
Cold stars and fiery oceans
Colliding waves in a sea of strength
Watching the great implosion
In my lucid mind I gain control
I have learned that the soul can die
And it will still be awake
You won't find a thorn, in my eye
But the past, won't ever change

Larger Than Life
06:03

Come take me home, when I hear your voice again
There's nothing I wouldn't do, for you to come back and stay
It's still so early on
Still trying to see what it was
It came like a thief in the night
And life just goes on, 'cause it must
It still hurts like before
Though the days are not bleak anymore
Time has mended most of the pain
But I will never see you again
I've come this far, and all that's left
Is nothing but a hollow sunrise
It's time to move along and see the dawn arise
Come take me home, when I hear your voice again
There's nothing I wouldn't do, for you to come back and stay
Where are you now? Swept aside, out of body not of mind
There's nothing I wouldn't do, for you to come back and stay
Don't disappear, this night is long, but not forever
You'll find a way through the maze, and home again
There is a light, you'll see,
And before you hide again, remember this
Though there were days, we fought
Still the seas are calm, before this is over
You heard what I said, and it sounded so harsh
At the time, but I can't, I won't apologize
You made up your mind, to destroy your own life
And you damn well knew it in time
Still you saw the ending was near
Though the answers was still so unclear
Faced with those predictions, any one of us would run away
Come take me home, when I hear your voice again
There's nothing I wouldn't do, for you to come back and stay
Where are you now? Swept aside, out of body not of mind
There's nothing I wouldn't do, for you to come back and stay

Feet Made of Clay
04:50
|

Voices of the sceptics all get in line
Speaking your mindless points of view
And let the masses listen to doubtful affirmations
Paranoia of your tainted shrine
Disregard the many, believe the few
Their incomprehensible negotiations
They won't obey
Unhinged, a sceptic supreme
Feet made of clay
They want free from this regime
Climb through the haze to the pinnacle
Push through the fear
When you see the world through narrow eyes
And not realizing what is wrong or right
Don't get tempted, don't give in to the lies
Break from shade to light
False scenarios from untrustworthy souls
Who's spreading stories for the Absurd
They want to turn us with their unholy prophecies
Uncertain now, their end and their goals
Sages despise this unyielding herd
They believe nothing but their dark deities
They won't obey
Unhinged, a sceptic supreme
Feet made of clay
They want free from this regime
Climb through the haze to the pinnacle
Push through the fear
When you see the world through narrow eyes
And not realizing what is wrong or right
Don't get tempted, don't give in to the lies
Break from shade to light
Lost in a cause, forced to be
Crushed, fade to dust and start to believe
All you'll ever see
The world of a sceptic supreme
They won't obey
Unhinged, a sceptic supreme
Feet made of clay
They want free from this regime

A Man in a Suit
04:46

Rejoice Mortals, Father Sulphur is here
To take your confession, shed a heartfelt tear
Let me show you the way to a land of no fear
Where crystals pave all of the road
I hear all the secrets you whisper at night
Let's take a walk together, away from the light
Out of body, out of sight
What is the price of your dreams to come true?
A pinch of ichor for glory and fame
Take the low road, play the game
Just sign here, everything is alright
Just sign here, you'll be set for life
Do I look I would lie to you?
Go ahead, you know what to do
Just sign here, on the dotted line
Just sign here, while you still have time
A drop of blood and you're done for good
Never trust a man in a suit
Hop off the treadmill, break out of the mold
Disregard everything you've ever been told
Life can be easy when the world goes cold
And crystals pave the road
The afterlife is after your life so why wait
Heaven comes early if you raise the stakes
I have a deal you do want to take
No price is too high for your dreams come true
You made a deal, you owe a debt
You had your fun, now it's time to collect
A bargain of blood is a bargain for good
I want my pound of flesh, with a lifetime of interest
You reap what you sow, a rotten fruit
Don't ever trust a man in a suit
Just sign here, everything is alright
Just sign here, you'll be set for life
Do I look I would lie to you?
Go ahead, you know what to do
Just sign here, on the dotted line
Just sign here, while you still have time
A drop of blood and you're done for good
Never trust a man in a suit

Trial by Fire
04:20

Honor and glory
Avail us nothing
Peace and pride
Paid in disdain
Courage fills my veins and tranquilizes fear
Believe your righteous fury
Mind and soul I give for you to tear apart
Re-use and crush my spirit
Fiery orbs they scorch my skin
Deny me my Rest
Dark fields burnt and black
Trial by fire
Born and raised in a world made by flame
In the end your mind will crack, the horrors rushing back
Unable to reflect on the shame, and now
Choirs of valor most soothing of sounds they sing
My hands won't come clean, won't you wash the red away
Rose petals fall, the velvet of a king
Give me a soldiers death
To the abyss I fall
Dark fields burnt and black
Trial by fire
Born and raised in a world made by flame
In the end your mind will crack, the horrors rushing back
Unable to reflect on the shame, and now
Dark fields burnt and black
Trial by fire
Born and raised in a world made by flame
In the end your mind will crack, the horrors rushing back
Unable to reflect on the shame, and now

BEHOLD!
05:31
|

Smoke and glass billows around me as they dance
Braziers of coal
Crowned with fire and oil
The concubines stance
Salt and blood stains the soil
Into excess ascend
I embrace you spirit, blood and bone
Worship my feet at the ivory throne
Behold my grandeur, the splendor, my will
For I am a generous god
The jackals flay each other
Screaming with joy
Quietus
A mask of gilded cedar
Fractures in the quintessence below
The wine flows free from my hand
A lavish feast of ages
I embrace you spirit, blood and bone
Worship my feet at the ivory throne
Behold my grandeur, the splendor, my will
For I am a generous god
I embrace you spirit, blood and bone
Worship my feet at the ivory throne
Behold my grandeur, the splendor, my will
For I am a merciless god
For I am a merciless god
