The Shadows Caress
04:13
|
|||
My blood runs cold,
My heart like stone.
This place has me, in its shadowed hands.
From another place, I hear it.
From a distant time, I feel it.
It comforts me, with certainty.
It knows no fear.
Pure clarity.
I am now invincible.
My mind is clear, my body still.
I am now invincible.
My mind is clear, my body still.
I am now invincible.
Just then, I lose concentration.
I fade away like the mist in the sun.
Like the fading of the light, like a shadow seen at night.
I move like a dream.
Latent fear – the horror unseen.
Last moment stretch - Surreal.
I am the shadow. I am unseen.
My fearless heart – the shadows caress.
I am one with the darkness.
Just then, I lose concentration.
I fade away like the mist in the sun.
Like the fading of the light, like a shadow seen at night.
I move like a dream.
Latent fear – the horror unseen.
Surreal.
I am the shadow. I am unseen.
The shadows caress. I am one, with the shadows caress.
I am now invincible.
I am now invincible!

Nemesis! Fortuna!
04:48
|
|||
On the cold dark field, I watch the pale morning sun,
Rise for the final time, as I make my peace.
This is my day, this is my time.
Stand with me.
Hold the line!
As we wait for the call to come, in resplendent glory.
Time stands still – the enemy comes!
Advance is called – the final horns are blowing.
And soon you’ll see – the Legion comes for thee!
Nemesis! Fortuna! Guide my hand.
Nemesis! Fortuna! Stands with me.
Shoulder to shoulder we march into the field, blades high and wrapping on the shields.
The time has come for you to fall. All will see the Eagle soar!
Nemesis! Fortuna! Stands with me!
With victory in our grasp, paid in the blood of heroes,
We stand strong still.
The enemy cowed.
The way before us clear, left in blood and nightmares.
The last thing you will see: our Eagle!
Victory!
Nemesis! Fortuna! Stands with me!
Shoulder to shoulder we march into the field, blades high and wrapping on the shields.
The time has come for you to fall. All will see the Eagle soar!

Silence
04:10
|
|||
The final days are coming fast to the broken world.
Each day brings us closer to the final day.
The earth and the trees, the mountains and the seas,
Broken and burned – poised with greed.
This cannot last forever, and so we’re left to plead.
Beneath this smoking ruin, in silence we must bleed.
And still, we march towards this fate, blinded by our dreams.
Will we see our mistakes? Or change our collective ways?
We see the world is changing yet still, still we wait.
Will the brighter day you speak of take all this away?
All eyes are watching, our mind is clear.
Our time is coming, hold no fear!
The earth and the trees, the mountains and the seas,
Broken and burned – poised with greed.
This cannot last forever, and so we’re left to plead.
Beneath this smoking ruin, in silence we must bleed.
Silence has passed – all will see!
Silence has passed.
Silence has passed and all will see.
Silence has passed - we can all be free.
And still, we march towards this fate, blinded by our dreams.
Will we see our mistakes? Or change our collective ways?
Will the brighter day you speak of take all this away?

Titans Call
05:08
|
|||
You showed the way for me, forever waiting.
One look into your eyes – mesmerised.
‘Come forth and reap your rewards.
All shall be yours.
Come forth and see your end – by my hand!’
I pause to see your smile – divine, beautiful!
In loss I find your strength comforting me.
‘Come forth and reap your rewards.
All shall be yours.
Come forth and see your end – by my hand!’
I hear the titans call; I hear them calling me!
I hear the titans call; I hear them calling you.
In this moment of truth, I hear the titans call.
I hear the titans call; I hear them calling me!
‘Submit’
Begone.
‘I will not!’
I can see right through your disguise.
Who am I to say begone?
Nothing here for you to take – forsworn!
My enemy, my captor
You would see mankind’s demise.
I will not submit. I will not submit!
I will not surrender!
‘Come forth and reap your rewards.
All shall be yours.
Come forth and see your end – by my hand!’
I can feel that your warm embrace is turning cold.
I can see that your smiling face has turned from me.
Deception is your price – the titans call.
Lies, fear and spite – the titans calling me.
Anger.
Jealousy.
I will not submit!
Fear.
Revenge.
I will stand my ground!
Apathy.
Spite.
I will not surrender!
Captor.
Enemy
I have victory!

Die Well, Brother!
05:41
|
|||
‘Evil has found us, and there’s nowhere we can go.
Stand here beside me, and we’ll let our actions show,
That love will last forever, and soon you will see,
That I will live forever when you remember me.’
‘Evil has found us, and there’s nowhere we can go.
Stand with me together and we will let them know,
That we will go down fighting, until the bitter end,
And glory lives forever.
The message we will send:’
‘Die Well, Brother! Send them straight to hell!’
Evil thrives when the good do nothing.
I can see in their eyes, their final goodbye.
I can hear in the cries of those left behind.
Do not mistake kindness as weakness.
Those hands that nurture will turn to steel.
I heard them say:
‘Fight Well, Brother! Send them straight to hell!’
Evil thrives when the good do nothing.
Those in need can rest their weary heads,
for it’s these warriors they now face instead.
‘Stand proud and strong!’
Their legacy is real.
If they call to you, remember what they said:
‘Stay Strong, Brother! You’ll send them straight to hell!’
Evil thrives when the good do nothing.
‘Stay Strong, Brother! Send them straight to hell!’
Evil thrives when the good do nothing.
‘Fight Well, Brother! Send them straight to hell!
Evil thrives when the good do nothing.
You died well, Brother, sent them straight to hell.
Evil thrives when the good do nothing.
I can see in their eyes, their final goodbye.
Stand proud and strong – their legacy is real!

Life Enemy
04:42
|
|||
Kaleidoscope of scenes assault your inner core,
A tainted husk of vileness left standing at your fall.
To live a thousand years engulfed within the flames,
Or to die on lonely battlefields, one of countless slain.
Where is the line between protector and the beast?
An indistinct transparent form that time shall not release.
An embodiment of darkness, yet burning light to some,
Consuming all displayed before it borne on wings of blood.
So let your hunger take you by the hand.
It will lead you to the place of madness, no longer free.
As nations crumble, cut away within,
Left standing on blackened ruins – your life enemy.
Where is your promise as I stand upon this ground?
Dreams dead before me, only nightmares to be found.
Eroded lie within – a seething well of hate.
Never to find victory, never to escape.
So let your hunger take you by the hand.
It will lead you to the place of madness, no longer free.
As nations crumble, cut away within,
Left standing on blackened ruins – your life enemy.
So let your hunger take you by the hand.
It will lead you to the place of madness, no longer free.
As nations crumble, cut away within,
Left standing on blackened ruins – your life enemy.

Iram Divina
04:54
|
|||
Like the sun slowly sinking, across the western sky,
Darkened shadows fill my vision.
All hoped died.
Like a fool I travel in this moment.
Like a fool I travel in despair.
Yet still I ask for the answer that was there before my eyes.
Iram Divina – your clarity divine.
Iram Divina – with you I’ve found my home.
No fear left inside me,
No pain I can’t endure.
No worries that will haunt me.
This peace forevermore.
Now the sun is rising, and the land is open.
Deepened shade are forgotten.
I am saved!

Follow
05:35
|
|||
Find the fallen pieces, on the ground.
Despair is taking over my life.
From the highest mountain, from the deepest sea,
Burning sand on the wind grows cold - Follow me!
Strength and protection is what I offer thee,
Beholden to your fears no more – follow me!
Follow me!
And still I wait in silence on my own.
A slave to thoughts no longer – I am home.
From the highest mountain, from the deepest sea,
Burning sand on the wind grows cold - Follow me!
I hear your call – ‘Follow!’
I see you beckoning – Follow.
Forged in blood a promise made, for eternity.
Carved in stone, in ice, in fire – I swear to you!
In my dreams, you found me.

Reflection
04:37
|
|||
Hope stays alive.
Each day brings the end closer,
Each night tells of our failing.
‘Wait and see.’
My reflections says to me.
‘Hold on – just one more day!’
All will be okay.
Hold on – one more day!’
Will I find the strength to carry on?
Will I find the strength to stay strong?
Within myself I must believe – hold on!
Take me – from myself
Take me – from this life
Take me – from myself
Take me – from this life
Hope stays alive.
Each day brings the end closer,
Each night tells of our failing.
‘Wait and see.’
My reflections says to me.
‘You can see it all – do you question?
Change starts off small – my intention.
I can hear the call – dedication.
I seem to fall.
My reflection.
Now time is our enemy.
Step by step we carry on
Paid in the blood of the strong.
We will never surrender, together, we march on.
As one we are free, seeking destiny.
Take me – from myself
Take me – from this life
Take me – from myself
Take me – from this life
‘You can see it all – do you question?
Change starts off small – my intention.
I can hear the call – dedication.’
I seem to fall.
My reflection.

Cloaked
04:49
|
|||
I reach for the place that isn’t real,
finding solace in a false reality.
I tried to run from this pain,
With all I’ve left behind, nothing feels the same.
I try to fight this hypocrisy
When broken truth is all that I see.
I try to see beyond this dream,
But tears and grief is all that remains to me.
Alone I wait, in tormented silence,
Consumed by the need to run from life.
Without this need, I run in blindness,
Toward my fate, cloaked in pain.
I live within the corner of this cage,
Mind racing with impossibilities.
To fall short of this prize is to die,
Surrendering yourself to insanity.
Alone I wait, in tormented silence,
Consumed by the need to run from life.
Without this need, I run in blindness,
Toward my fate, cloaked in pain.
