Oblivion 03:47
You turn your eyes away from your life, You turn back to those who truly see. Waiting for the right time, Never ceasing to find mistakes. Allowing life to go by, Before long its gone. When will you see? That this is real. Why would you wait? Your time has come. Word left unsaid, actions not done. Was this the plan? What is the outcome? Just stop and take it in. This is your chance. Now make a firm resolve. No more you will wait! No longer seeking Oblivion, From this day. No longer Oblivion will guide your way. These things shall come to pass. No stone unturned, no place unseen. Waiting for the right time, Never ceasing to find mistakes. Allowing life to go by, Before long its gone. No longer seeking Oblivion, From this day. No longer Oblivion will guide your way.

Your Enemy 05:06
Bowed down while seeking glory, destruction in your hands, Alone to face the silence, this nightmare has begun. Revenge, no longer waiting – the time to pay has come. Forlorn you cry for mercy, a gift you’ve never shown. I raise my head up to the sky, Seeking clarity; insight. I see the terror in your eyes, I will not run. I will fight. And you will see your end in sight, Nowhere to run that will save your life. And as you take your final breath, Look up at me – your enemy. Undone, your fate now sealed, your plans are overcome. Despair your one companion, all others turned to dust. Sorrow, the one left laughing, the song of death grows loud. And so, we’re left with nothing but hatred and disgust. I raise my head up to the sky, Seeking clarity; insight. I see the terror in your eyes, I will not run. I will fight. And you will see you end in sight, Nowhere to run that will save your life. And as you take your final breath, Look up at me – your enemy.

Blinded 03:48
Staring, yet never seeing, as this world passes by, Falling, into the nothing, reaching for the fading sky, Waiting, for the moment, that will end the mystery. Trying, to free your mind, answers left unfound. Distressed, but no surrender, to the tide pulling me, Resolved, to find the way, to the path that lets me free. I try to see a brighter day, This is my last resort. I need to feel my mind at ease, There’s nowhere left to turn. Inside I know the answers wait, So close, but still so far away, I know the time has come for me, Yet still I’m blinded by your light. Too late, to see my failure, as my time has passed me by, Regret, the spiteful liar, the way home was always there.

All For You 04:21
First light, a promise the future holds, I will show that nothing will get in my way. From now, until the end of time, My actions will prove to you. All for you. I will try, I will strive, I will fight for you, Never let you fall. I will bleed, I would kill, I would die for you Always be there. My oath: I swear, by the morning light, Never ending loyalty. When you call, I will fall on your enemies, I'll stop at nothing! Falling, reeling, fearing nothingness. Calling, bleeding, my last promises. There is nothing that I would not do for you. I will try, I will strive, I will fight for you, Never let you fall. When you call, I will fall on your enemies, I'll stop at nothing!

I have to see, I have to know, a mind with striking clarity. I have to feel, I have to be, with thoughts of vast complexity. At once start questioning, in one seek to be free. The Origin Enigma: Finding truth inside. Questioning all that is known - open your mind. You will find the answers waiting – beckoning. Awake and I will show you – everything. I had to hold, I had to strive, now fully understanding me. I had to breath, I had to fight, with lost life’s true intensity. Then I was struggling. No more. Don’t cry for me. Sweet breath of life! Return to me! I must now stay! To share this light! I’m moving on – to find my peace. One more moment is denied to me. What I would say? If I had the chance Listen with your heart. It will guide the way.
6.
Taste your victory, resist the beckoning. Striking, menacing – it lights your way home. Staring back the image seems to change, To reveal reflections of better days. I recall that time when all seemed lost. I bowed my head, you found me there. Taste your victory, resist the beckoning. Striking, menacing – it lights your way home.

United as one, despite the endless fear. Together they rose, until the end of time. In their darkest days, in their pain filled nights. Remember this – they stood for you. Can you hear the call to return? To fulfill your destiny as one, As time flows by in years, Sacrifice will never fade away. Memories fade, and the will to see is lost, Memories fade, and the will to love is gone. As the sun it burns, and cold wind chills bones, A journey of suffering, no step unearned. Would you walk with them? Would you share the pain? Would you stand with them? In blood and shame? Can you hear the call to return? To fulfil your destiny as one, As time flows by in years, Sacrifice will never fade away. Memories fade, and the will to see is lost, Memories fade, and the will to love is gone.

Forever 04:14
In the promised time, to the promised one. A thousand years flow by me, and yet my promise stands. I’ll be forever by your side, from the long goodnight. And still I hear you question my loyalty. For you I will bleed. Forever I’ll be watching, I’m with you in your dreams. Together we will know no fear, For eternity. As each moment fades, cast to memory, Think not of what you’ve lost – embrace your victory. In the promised time, to the promised one. A thousand years flow by me, and yet my promise stands. I’ll be forever by your side, from the long goodnight. Forever. For you I will bleed.

Towton 1461 04:57
The sun will rise to see a blinding storm, Yet this war must go on. To ease the suffering of her land, They must pay the price in blood. Their screams will be heard for a thousand year, Cold earth for ever their home, Their blood will be seen, through a thousand tears, At Towton. The snow fell in sheets on the field of blood, The river flowed with a crimson sheen. A nation torn apart in that forlorn place, Through death the price was paid. Their screams will be heard for a thousand year, Cold earth for ever their home, Their blood will be seen, through a thousand tears, At Towton. The snow fell in sheets on the field of blood, The river flowed with a crimson sheen, To ease the suffering of her land, Through death the price was paid. At Towton. Pay the price in blood at Towton.

The Great Unknown is here, Right before your eyes, The Great Unknown is made clear, No longer shadowed. Demeanor showing one that’s sly, The open book no longer showing lies, The blind and the ignorant, Finding truth where sorrow lies in wait. The Great Unknown is here, Right before your eyes, The Great Unknown is made clear, No longer shadowed. Arrogance the trait held high, The fools that celebrate the broken guide, The weak and the desperate, Hold on to the key to their demise. The Great Unknown is here, Right before your eyes, The Great Unknown is made clear, No longer shadowed. Recognize the truth is here, No longer will the ignorant be fooled, The vain and the self-assured, Will find themselves alone forever more. Don’t be the one who waiting, for the times that’s come. Don’t be the one that’s crying, when all is said and done.
