01. Scream From Within

Music by S.Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics by S. Drover
Bleeding - the eyes of the dead
Mind led astray in a world filled with blood
Soul fueled by contempt
A feeble heart intertwined - love and hate
A splintered psyche - adrift with illusion
1 hand to the sky with 1 foot in the grave

Scream from within - you seek the purpose
Flushed with heat - ablaze with fury
Consume the soul - no recollection
The night is filled with screams

Sweating - now drenched with confusion
Awakened by light - unfamiliar surroundings
Fleeing - the heart crushed with grief
Eyes on the cross with a thirst for desire
Ill-fated now slipping away
The chalice now blood-soaked - I fight to regain

Scream from within - you seek the purpose
Flushed with heat - ablaze with fury
Consume the soul - no recollection
The night is filled with screams

Solo - Glen

Living in human decay
Within these walls - now complete disarray
Will you find? The last saving grace from a total disgrace
Atrocities captured in time
With blood on your hands - ill equipped to deny

Scream from within - you seek the purpose
Flushed with heat - ablaze with fury
Consume the soul - no recollection
The night is filled with screams

02. Volcanic Earth

Music by S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics by S. Drover
Trapped beneath 1000 storms, volcanic ash is brimming to explode
Buried under walls of ice - dormant lava waits to singe the earth

Detection of seismic refrain's - to forecast the lava flood bane
Unleashing volcanic debris - destruction the world's never seen

Exploding to the velvet sky - magma's force ignites volcanic plight
40,000 feet above - ash plume rises while pyroclactic flows

Screaming and running there is no retreat
Pumice and ash flow 1200 degrees
Erupting below walls of ice to unveil
Ice / lava mixture to floods - no escape!

Buried in erupted waste, volcanic earth now has sealed its fate
Predictions from forgotten times - discarded into now - the world demise!

Detection of seismic refrain's - to forecast the lava flood bane
Unleashing volcanic debris - destruction the world's never seen

Twisted Morality

Music: S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics: S. Drover

Theme - Glen

Tormented mind - a weakened pagan
The tarnished halo - of dripping blood
Through unspeakable acts - 1 final shot at glory
The sickening truth shall never set you free!

Justified through the book of faith
Without remorse - may you burn in fire

Twisted morality
Twisted morality

5 now perished, does this bring you closer to god?
Now how can you be blamed?
The rebel angel - he is the 1 to blame
His forceful tactics - are now my saving grace

Justified through the book of faith
Without remorse - may you burn in fire

Twisted Morality

1 hand on the book - the other blocking gasping breathe
Beyond sickness - you are the 1 to blame
For this you need - to perish in the lake of fire!
Drawn and quartered - in blood-soaked ashes may you burn!
Twisted morality

04. Demoralized

Music by S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics by S. Drover
Breathing - contained in your forsaken pit
Now freezing - from scaling these walls you create
Whipping - the chains on my forsaken back
Spinning your web in this blood-soaked attack
Pummeling forces - now I cant deny you
Electrical current's denying my chance to escape

Unbeatable force to destroy
Demoralization deployed

I enslave you - victimized
I engage you - traumatized
I engulf you - dehumanized
I enrage you - mortified

Retention formed - I suspend in your grip
From your retched disease I attempt my escape
Infrared vision - eyes pierce in the darkness
Escape is illusive - my mind now astray
Wallow in darkness - my screams are unheard
As I scratch to the surface - your chains now en-claw on my neck.........

I enslave you - victimized
I engage you - traumatized
I engulf you - dehumanized
I enrage you - mortified

Choking suspended - now gasping for breath
Grasping the chains for an uncertain death
Eye-blinding light now appears from above
Resisting pain as I focus for ways to escape!
"You shall not ever escape"!
Within these walls contained - I focus to escape
Electric forces felt - avoided from the chains
Ripped into the air - now closer to your vile
Hidden razor punctures - the sickening flesh that holds my last escape!

Solo - Glen

Unbeatable force to destroy
Demoralization deployed

I enslave you - victimized
I engage you - traumatized
I engulf you - dehumanized
I enrage you - mortified

05. The Test

Music by S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics by S. Drover
Checking the engines - all things are in place
Strapped down the countdown's begun
Lift-off in flames - smoke is filling the sky
Arrival to countdown is done
May god be with us - now splitting the sky
Launching our way into space

Many - failed to pass the test
Can't attain - illusive

Expanding horizons - a leap for mankind
Mission is set and in place
Drifting through masses of binary stars
Solar flares beaming with light
Radar detection - incredulous site
The black hole - approaching in space

Many - failed to pass the test
Can't attain - illusive

Solo
1st section - Andy
2nd section - Glen

Mission control has detected - encourage
To alter the plan - it's too late
Sucking our spacecraft in forbidden blackness
Components malfunction - now frayed
Losing all contact with mission control
1000 light years from home

Many failed to pass the test
The black hole - illusive

06. The Will to Remain

Music by S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics by S. Drover
Triumph over adversity - a struggle to exist
The heart torn to pieces - to loose you must resist
A blank stare gazing - to a far away place
Memories of hope - have faded far away
Eyes now peeled on white-blinding stripe
Gaining speed - harnessing the paved black path

The will to remain - find the strength to carry on
Mobility remains - the only way now to cope

All faith is lost - to blame a god-less world?
Unbearable tragedies - is it too much to take?
Intense thoughts of piercing hate and guilt
What have I done to deserve so much pain?
Sporadic serenity - in mobile transit
Dim skies now fading - collapsing into painless sleep

The will to remain - find the strength to carry on
When all else fails - find the courage to push ahead

To focus on what lies ahead
The only way to the road of recovery

Heading through the storm - of mind and terrain
Shifting gears to seek - the rights of passage and serenity
Accepting the mission - to face alone
To capture a purpose-less grin
Nobody knows my true pain.............

Awakened to find a new sky - encompassed with serenity
The new day brings new hope - I focus on the roads to recovery
Determined to hold my head high - accepting my reality
Time passes by - retaining my strength - though questions unanswered - true will has remained

The will to remain - I've found the strength to carry on
When all else had failed - I found the courage to push ahead....

Apostles of Defiance

Music: S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics: S. Drover

Theme - Glen

Born into fire - embellished into flames
Arise from fury - you are inept to refrain
Your chosen life - a life of death
You will conform - to the apostles realm

Apostles of defiance
In sequence you will burn

Stand before the monarch - in sequence to burn
absorbsion into hatred -for the next sadistic feast
Fondness for the flame - from the depths you seek
Denial nullified - bathe in the blood of serenity

Apostles of defiance
In sequence you will burn

Years of treachery and deceit
Amidst decay - your thirst to seek
The countless lives you've wasted
The defiant 1 - you breathe
Retina zero's in - your lifeline slips away
Apostles gift now clear - eternal hellish world

Apostles of defiance
In sequence we will burn
Apostles of defiance
In sequence you will burn

08. Pull the Trigger

Music by S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics by S. Drover
Watching - as the rain keeps falling down
Waiting - for the pain to knock me down
Malign indifference - frothing at your peace and glory
The naked truth - fish-hooked in your halo-story

The grand illusion - will you take me to the life you've chosen?
When all else fails - will you follow me to mine??

Subjected to your deity
Now dejected from society
Detained in hypocrisy
As you pull the trigger - and fail!

Doubled over - from the pain you've put me through
Misguided memories - I've suffered onto you
Preach your peace - a world of cold distrust
Inept in solitude - now wince in cold disgust

To keep me locked away - attempt's to no avail
Destruction of my soul - your life I now assail

Subjected to your deity
Now dejected from society
Detained in hypocrisy
As you pull the trigger - and fail!

Solo - Glen

Compassionate state - is a grand mistake
I am fixed to you - my rage is blazing
You've captured me - at an-all time low
My heart in apt to release

To keep me locked away - attempt's to no avail
Destruction of my soul - your life I now assail
As lies fizzle away - true sickness revealed
My life will go on - your test has failed

Subjected to your deity
Now dejected from society
Detained in hypocrisy
As you pull the trigger - and fail!

09. Apathy for a Dying World

Music by S. Drover, G. Drover
Lyrics by S. Drover
Closing my eyes from a cynical world left behind
Memories gone without a trace
Emotional burnout - time spinning out of control
Diseases and wars from predictions of past
Taking fruition - how long can this last??
Making my solace - erasing the pain as I fly

I'll equipped to comprehend
Modern day madness - can't fight to defend
My head tilted towards graying skies
Scriptures - now ponder as those passing by
What does this mean? A part of the grand scheme?
I seek the answers - is the message all to clear?
The world is sifting through a gradual demise
The pain it brings to me - I focus through
It helps me to remain

Leaving the pain as I drift so far away
Masking my grief - I now seek a better place

Why do we have this pain?
Why do we need to hate?
What do we have to gain?

I open my eyes - not to find a guilt or remorse
Finding my way - now to face the imminent storm....

Why do we have this pain?
Why do we have to hate?
Why can't we all create?
Unification - to be as one

A beaming light penetrates the blackened sky
Angelic vision - I shudder to believe
You seek the truth - inquisition with no answers
To take my hand - reveals the answers you have never found

You choose to follow - the grand exit with no return
The warm light's invitation - glows upon my face
My hand extended - to rid myself this pain and anguish
Rising above the clouds - I turn to give the world - final embrace

The final embrace

What does this mean? A part of the grand scheme
I seeked the answers - now the message - all too clear
The world is sifting through a gradual demise
My life has come to pass - with apathy I glide towards the sky?
