Sorrow Of A Lost War
04:11
|
|
||
|
Raising an army on the shoulders of poor men
The King makes his way to a sullen battlefield
Treacherous roads and highwaymen they fear
So many obstacles on the road to victory
CHORUS
But the war was lost
And children never born
Lives were destroyed
And hope forlorn
But the war was lost
And children never born
Lives were destroyed
And hope forlorn
The enemy is near, the hosts are set to fight
At daybreak trumpets blare, red banners in the air
A bloody clash ensues, a sea of bodies strewn
The old King's life ended, his head thrown on a pike
CHORUS
But the war was lost
And children never born
Lives were destroyed
And hope forlorn
But the war was lost
And children never born
Lives were destroyed
And hope forlorn
The knights are fleeing fast and leaving serfs to die
The villages are torched so nowhere to return to
With carnage and rape the enemy has won
For hundreds of years this soil is ever-barren

Broken Windows

|
VERSE 1
The glass on the floor
A symbol of fragility
Immobility imploded
Freeze-frame motion arrested
Vision through a heart shattered
VERSE 2
Beliefs shaken through
And incompatibility
Shards volatility
Brain waves flattened out
Cries of death in broken windows
CHORUS
Effects of gravity
Tying you down
To an unwanted vision
Of a body wrapped in glass
In a vitreous substance
VERSE 3
Crying in the streets
Unlit matches branch
Into possibilities
That may never happen
Awaken in the light or sleep for eternity?
CHORUS
Effects of gravity
Tying you down
To an unwanted vision
Of a body wrapped in glass
In a vitreous substance

Wanderlust
05:59
|
|
||
|
Traces poisonous
Intricate weaving
Levitate treacherous
No time for believing
CHORUS x 2
Ice on the highway
Fright on the freeway
Sickening and crying
Wanderlust dying
Hailing dead passengers
One ship to another
Melody's messengers
Wave to each other
CHORUS x 2
Ice on the highway
Fright on the freeway
Sickening and crying
Wanderlust is dying
Putrefied actions
Solicit reactions
Raw vintage night poured
Through your overlord
Ice on the highway
Fright on the freeway
Sickening and crying
Wanderlust is dying

|
Our memories painted themselves
In black and white
I put my trust in you
You put your trust in the knife
CHORUS
With Ghosts, in Hell I stand
Worlds dissolving like grains of sand
I'm not a slave to those above me
I'm not a god to those below me
Sometimes we need to be subdued into darkness
Suffer at the hands of fate
Damage, loss and brutal hate
This Girl travelled to Hell and back, fulfilled
She does not want to roam
This road will lead her home
CHORUS

Godless
04:52
|
|
||
|
CHORUS
I will forever hunt you down
I am the Priestess of nothingness
No respite from my vengeful wrath
Are you a shameless godless fool?
Can't you figure out our sinister deal?
My bloodthirsty god is hauntingly real
I have the knowledge to set you free
If you don't heed me you shall see
CHORUS
I will forever hunt you down
I am the Priestess of nothingness
No respite from my vengeful wrath
Are you a shameless godless fool?
Ghostly voices appeal to your fears
Terrible thoughts will bring you rage
Mind control this will assuage
Bowing down in submissive tears
CHORUS
I will forever hunt you down
I am the Priestess of nothingness
No respite from my vengeful wrath
Are you a shameless godless fool?
Cesspool of mud primordial ooze
Which divine presence will you choose?
All gods and goddesses are the same
Godless is the way, only you to blame
CHORUS
I will forever hunt you down
I am the Priestess of nothingness
No respite from my vengeful wrath
Are you a shameless godless fool?
CHORUS
I will forever hunt you down
I am the Priestess of nothingness
No respite from my vengeful wrath
Are you a shameless godless fool?

Tearing The Mist
05:10
|
|
||
|
CHORUS:
Bastion of fortitude
All about the attitude
Streaks of golden hue
Burning strong for you
Tearing the mist off your eyes
VERSE 1:
Living life to the full
Grabbing some shares
Seems like the strongest pull
Of challenges and dares
Labour of love means to an end
Vortex of life
Messages in a mind to send
Slices from the knife
VERSE 2:
Ripping pieces of a rag
Share them with lust
Shadows in a dirty mag
It all falls to dust
Raining drops of sanity
Comprehension dawns
Laughing at your levity
But you're only pawns
Tearing the mist off your eyes
VERSE 3:
In attractive fiery gold
Lost in opulence
Crazed return within the fold
Inhuman reverence
Insane red and ocher tints
Degeneration cries
Conditional demeaning hints
Can you stand those lies?

Iron Heart
05:51
|
|
||
|
Through the darkest storms and tallest waves
All experiences that we've had
In the times of cold and rages of heat
Never had a reason to be sad
CHORUS
You and me are a single heart
Unbreakable
Tough cast iron
No one can break it apart
It was forged in precious time
Spent together
A melody was written about us
No idea where or when
Nothing complicated or confronting
We are a feather in the sky
CHORUS / BREAK / CHORUS
End of days will find us here
In a place of our own
With my final breath I'll will say your name
And I hope you do the same

I'm Free Now
03:26
|
|
||
|
Got a hangover this morning
I can't remember it all.
Was I with you last evening?
Still don't remember it all
CHORUS
Well I'm free now
Yes I'm free now
Had to be a good one cause your things are nowhere to be found.
I'm gonna have a drink
And party in my bed
I was so on the brink
I was gonna end up dead
Well I'm free now
Yes I'm free now
Gonna throw the trash out with my memories of you ya two-timer
Pour another glass
Get shit-faced today
I may have no class
Got more than yesterday
Cause I'm free now
Yes I'm free now
Lord when I wake up today I know I will still be the same old me
