Raise your torches to the sky!
Today we march upon the kings
to claim our stolen freedom
Grab your pitchforks, raise them high!
We'll tear the walls down stone by stone
And end this cursed kingdom
Heads will roll as tyrants die
Injustice will now be repaid
By blades of revolution
(With) the sunrise, the blood dries,
The smoke clears from the battle
The world changed, by our blades,
Yet everything is still the same
Yesterday
We fought the tyrants and brought justice to this land
A victory we paid in blood
Today we rise
Only to find we are right back where we began
Bought with the blood of martyrs
Freedom is never free
(A) cycle of endless madness
Laid bare for all to see
Done in the name of justice
Corrupted from within
Rebels becoming tyrants
(The) circle begins again
Revolution for all our days
Trapped like a rat inside a maze
(With) the sunrise, the blood dries,
The smoke clears from the battle
The world changed, by our blades,
Yet everything is still the same
Yesterday
We fought the tyrants and brought justice to this land
A victory we paid in blood
Today we rise
Only to find we are right back where we began

The Blood Born
05:54
|

Hunting, in the black of midnight
Fleeing, as the shadows fade into the sun
With the break of day
We make our way amongst the graves
To where the monster lies in wait
The hunter now becomes the hunted
We will cleanse this place
And free the blood-born from her fate
Here in this tomb
Her body lies
More beautiful
Than the day she died
Now time for me
To play my part
And drive this stake
Right through her heart
The lady that I loved so much
Turned to ashes at my touch
Rising, with the breaking dusk
Feeding, as the vein pours out innocent blood
Hunting, in the black of midnight
Fleeing, as the shadows fade into the sun
The lady that I loved so much
Turned to ashes at my touch
Wield the hammer, bring undone
The monster that she has become
Here in this tomb
Her body lies
More beautiful
Than the day she died
Now time for me
To play my part
And drive this stake
Right through her heart
Lying, in her cursed coffin
Screaming, as her undead body turns to dust
The lady that I loved so much
Turned to ashes at my touch
Wield the hammer, bring undone
The monster that she has become

Earthrise
05:27
|

Strapped into a rocketship
The voices counting down
Light the fire beneath us
And send us through the clouds
From another world we saw
the Earthrise falling into place
Our journey awaits us
One day our endless quest will send us past the moon
The universe will see, our planet's rise is coming soon
Sent across the universe
our voyage to the stars
Conquering the skies above
Per aspera ad astra
We sail
so far
Amongst
the stars
From another world we saw
the Earthrise falling into place
Our journey awaits us
One day our endless quest will send us past the moon
The universe will see, our planet's rise is coming soon
From another world we saw
the Earthrise falling into place
Our future awaits us
One day our endless quest will send us past the moon
The universe will see, our planet's rise is coming soon

Veil
03:53
|
|||
By the pale illumination of the waning crescent moon
Memories flicker like shadows on the windows of this room
And the question repeats again:
When does memory come to an end?
For tonight he'll feel his past rewind
once again
As the veil that separates this life
from the next
will grow thinner as the moon grows dim
in the darkness she'll return to him
Through the veil
On the altar lie momentos
of the love that they once shared
One life for another
A price he'll pay to see her again
Midnight will fall
Tearing the walls
Feeding the yearning deep inside
Paying the price
A blood sacrifice
Once again he'll see her face
And he'll hear her voice
Once again he'll hold her close
As they share their love anew
On the altar lies
The victim chosen for the sacrifice
He opens the book
Reads the words and prepares to act
The horrors that lie within
Raise the knife
Final rites
Bring her memory to life
Midnight will fall
Tearing the walls
Feeding the yearning deep inside
Paying the price
A blood sacrifice
Once again he'll see her face
And he'll hear her voice
Once again he'll hold her close
As they share their love
There's no end to what he'll do
Just to share their love anew
By the pale illumination of the waning crescent moon
Memories flicker like shadows on the windows of this room
And the answer repeats again:
That her memory will never end

Divergence

On the edge of Hell we stand
Beneath another foreign sign
Across the battlefield we face
The monsters of our own design
So raise the flag, remember
who your loyalty is with today
For all the gold is worthless
if you die before you get your pay
Vultures circle overhead
As our masters raise their battlecry
Time to roll the dice and find out
If today's our day to die
So raise your sword and shield
Today we fight for other gods and kings
And hold your head high as we march
toward the end of everything
Are we just knights inside this nightmare?
Cursed to fight forever more
(The) shadows of all the dreams that died there
What are we fighting for?
Stand firm as the battle begins
Courage, find the warrior within
Never let the enemy win!
Charge the lines and slaughter
All the enemies in your way
Fight with honour and you'll
live to fight another day
Live to fight another day
So raise your sword and shield
Today we fight for other gods and kings
And hold your head high as we march
toward the end of everything
Are we just knights inside this nightmare?
Cursed to fight forever more
(The) shadows of all the dreams that died there
What are we fighting for?
All the banners now have come undone
Now worthless rags
Burned and tattered, torn to shreds
All the battles that we'd fought and won
For fallen flags
Buried now beneath the dead
On the edge of Hell we stand
With the bloodstains on our hands
And we look back
Over all the battles we had fought
Did we sell our loyalties
For a thousand worthless creeds?
Now we look back
And we find out it was all for nought
Blood is flowing out from me
and I know this is my final fight
No honour left for me, I die as
just one more misguided knight
So raise your sword and shield
Today we fight for other gods and kings
And hold your head high as we march
toward the end of everything
Are we just knights inside this nightmare?
Cursed to fight forever more
(The) shadows of all the dreams that died there
What are we fighting for?

Nightmare's Revenge
04:16
|
|||
Night falls
as the sun descends on the eve of the longest day
Fate calls
and the jealous gods will rescind their wicked ways
Banished for crimes unpardoned
Left in a barren place
A thousand years of darkness
Erased without a trace
A thousand years have passed
The longest day has come
The stars will aid in my escape
Nighttime eternal has begun!
(In the darkness all will see...)
A thousand years have passed
The longest day has come
The stars will aid in my escape
It has begun!
Look to the skies
For the heavens will now never be the same
And the night will last forever
Those who'd forgot
my existence will now bow before my name
And the night will last forever

Rubicon
04:30
|
|||
And with the sunrise
We'll step across that river's bank
and know that once we cross that line
That there will be no turning back
We'll send a message to them all
that we will not be held
by empty lies and broken compromise,
No we will rise and take our destiny
with our own hands
with our own hands
With this next step, the die is cast
No turning back until my last
For a thousand days we wandered
We came, we saw, we conquered
Every death, every breath
Devoted to our cause
Betrayed by those we'd fought for
The destiny they'd sought for
Every breath, every death
Marks our revenge and our return
With this next step, the die is cast
No turning back until my last
Hear the strains of the final chorus
Heralding our destiny
We will conquer the world before us
and we'll write our names in history
With this next step, the die is cast
No turning back until my last

Faultlines
08:15
|
|||
When all you see is ashes
And all your dreams have turned to dust
A dawning realisation
That you were burned by those you trust
We thought that we would live forever
But we found we were wrong
Split apart along the faultlines
That were there all along
It's in these moments when you stop and think about all that you've done
And you see your whole life flashing right before your eyes
Then you wonder how you'd ever thought the day would never come
When old wounds open up and
your dream dries up and dies
We thought that we would live forever
But we found we were wrong
Split apart along the faultlines
That were there all along
Unheard by deafened ears
The words were left unspoken
Unseen by blinded eyes
The cracks began to open
Building to a breakdown
An inexorable calamity
Heading for a shakedown
An inevitable catastrophe
It's in that moment when you stop and feel the ground begin to shake
And you see whole world crashing down before your eyes
When you set off down the road you thought you'd never have to take
And you realise that everything that you believed was lies
(For) all the times we fought
For all that we were worth
Now all our dreams are torn apart
Like the cracks upon the (earth)
We thought that we would live forever
But we found we were wrong
Split apart along the faultlines
That were there all along
(For) all the times we fought
For all that we were worth
Now all our dreams are torn apart
Like the cracks upon the (earth)
