01. Feast Or Famine

When the seas rise and skies fall
Marsh lands turn to dust and blow away
When the air is parched every breath poison
Eternal darkness covers all below

We thirst for days gone past
We hunger for life
We crave

Cover me with this earth
We can be one again
Cover me let me rest
We will be one again

Richly feeding on the pleasures
That this world has given to all
Never ending resources
One day will end and so will we

We thirst for days gone past
We hunger for life
We crave

Cover me with this earth
We can be one again
Cover me let me rest
We will be one again

When the seas rise and skies fall
Marsh lands turn to dust and blow away
When the air is parched every breath poison
Eternal darkness covers all below

Protect her and her beauty
Lush lands we covet
Feast upon her awesome bounty
Before we drain these riches dry

02. The Mission (1943)

The mission set there will be no returns as the
Killers head into the night
They all must face the impossible climb a sheer cliff
400 feet high

Caught captive in Mondracus it seams the enemy knows their plan
Back in control and on to Navarone they leave behind a misinformed man

Six men with six days to change the tide
The guns of Navarone
Six men with six days it may take their lives
The guns of Navarone

Mondracus burns in punishment for hiding out the killers five
On this night the silent one is a traitor and so she dies

The injured man drugged by Stolamine speaks of
Invasion on the southern side
The guns now left alone two men move inside and lock
The massive door behind

Planting explosives all around the guns a diversion
From the real mother load
The containment room holding hundreds of shell the
Elevator and they explode

03. Vigilant

Through the canopy of this darkened world
I see my prey
Never seeing with my eye
Senses are raging from this troubled world
I fell his heart
Feeling only with my mind

I am the light in the darkened place
I stand alone
Standing ever strong and powerful
I stand alone
Vigilant

A demon of the night
One who never can be seen
A protector of the innocent
Never knowing love
There's no place for it in this heart
I am eternally alone

Time will stop and the worlds will end
The vigilant stand ever strong

04. Achilles

By the gods of war he was made
Never challenged by his prey
A demon, a warrior, a god
The keeper of his cause

The strongest of the strong
No matter the right or wrong
As far as the eye can see
He will never concede

Born into war is all that he's known
The seeds of terror are what he has sown
A maiden has never seen into his heart
And for this passion his soul will depart

The blade of Achilles is blessed by the gods
A slave to no man he fights for a cause
The strength of Achilles will render you cold
The might of Achilles shall never be sold

For the shores of Troy they set sail
When all before him failed
To avenge his cousin's life
A victim of the knife

Ten thousand fall that day
Leaving as they feign to sail away
They take it, a gift behind the gates
Soon will seal their fate

Achilles the brave that no man can kill
The arrow of fate across his heel
Will be the fall of Achilles this day
The glory of Troy now fades away

05. Tempest

Circling churning spinning twirling in vertigo
No direction where you've been or where you'll go
Its roar is deafening an angry sound that chills inside
Destruction follows in her wake no one left alive

Beware the tempest will there be an end in sight?
Beware the tempest will we survive this endless night?

Freezing winds blowing, bringing snow and ice along
Leaving lives and lands covered with its deadly song
Buried deep within the white is a world now past
Heaven help us find the few of us that will outlast
That will outlast

In the darkened stillness of the night what do you hear?
In the quiet stillness of the night is someone there?

Circling churning spinning twirling in vertigo
Destruction follows in her wake no one left alive
Winds crashing bending breaking everything in sight
Heaven help us just to make it through this night

Beware the tempest will there be an end in sight?
Beware the tempest will we survive this endless night?

Will we survive this endless night?
Will there be an end in sight?

Is then no one left alive?
Was there no one to survive?

06. Legion Immortal

When the world is at its end and the evil has its way
Who are the ones that will protect and keep what's gone astray?
Steadfast and vigilant holding true to all things past
Ever pressing onward are the ones who will outlast

They will ever stand alone through the test of time
When all else has faltered and broken the bloodlines
They are the ones who will be left but never left behind
Turn your gaze to the west and never look away
Say your prayers to the keepers of the watch every day

Vigilant and true
Will stand for you
Stay ever brave
This world you'll save

They will stand alone through the test of time
When all else has faltered and broken the bloodlines
They are the ones who will be left but never left behind
Turn your gaze to the west and never look away
Say your prayers to the keepers of the watch every day

Vigilant and true
Will stand for you
Stay ever brave
This world you'll save

They will stand alone through the test of time
They are the ones that will be left but never left behind

When the world is at its end and the evil has its way
Who are the ones that will protect and keep what's gone astray?
Steadfast and vigilant holding true to all things past
Ever pressing onward are the ones who will outlast

They will ever stand alone through the test of time
When all else has faltered and broken the bloodlines
They are the ones who will be left but never left behind
Turn your gaze to the west and never look away
Say your prayers to the keepers of the watch every day

Vigilant and true
Will stand for you
Stay ever brave
This world you'll save

07. Battered & Bruised

Corruption and disease have swallowed this world left
Us all to blame
Lust and its hateful consuming of dreams plays an evil game

From the day we tasted the fruit the falling of mankind
Evil has begotten its way has left all else behind

This knowledge makes us blind
Morality divine

We have become battered and bruised
We are all fallen battered and bruised

Eve the setting of the sun
Leave nowhere to run
Time ticking in haste
Gone what a waste

Stillness of the night now loud and absurd corrupting
Every thought
Leaders of this world consumed in debate what lessons
Can be taught

08. Cold

Ivory skin so porcelain smooth and cold to the touch
Eyes and lips as black as the night lead me in to drain

Your so cold; cold as ice you're so cold

Ice you feel, feel to the bone
Ice that burns, burns inside

The moves of a slithering ghost perfect and slow
Evil beckons me stay can not break away

With one touch you are still
Lust for the touch and for the feel

Your body's beat is what she craves to keep her alive
Drains your warmth in her eyes out of your soul

09. Starlight's Fury

Time folds into time
Generations unending
Starts blink out of life as new ones are reborn
Worlds colliding in hatred
Will there be peace in this universe?
Can the questions of life be answered without our time?

In a flash of a moment all things will change
In the blink of an eye we hardly notice how they rearrange
Overflowed with emotions sometimes control
The will of us all is so strong it's hard to let it go,
Feel the flow, and let it be so

That which is made in the heavens
Comes from violent reaction
Crashing, burning, crushing and breaking apart
Glowing with fire and fury
Eruptions fracture and start to burn
Leaving a brilliant planet that we see as a star

In a flash of a moment all things will change
In the blink of an eye we hardly notice how they rearrange
Overflowed with emotions sometimes control
The will of us all is so strong it's hard to let it go,
Feel the flow, and let it be so

Constantly under pressure
Gravity pulling and straining
This cause and effects brings forth the finest gems
What can be gained by this madness that has made us
What we are this day?
The answer may lay inside man's universe within

In a flash of a moment all things will change
In the blink of an eye we hardly notice how they rearrange
Overflowed with emotions sometimes control
The will of us all is so strong it's hard to let it go,
Feel the flow, and let it be so

Burning on forever
Starlight's flicker and glow
Bringing light to us in the darkest of times
A thing of beauty and wonder
Giving direction and reference of time
Eternity held its glow raining on us all

In a flash of a moment all things will change
In the blink of an eye we hardly notice how they rearrange
Overflowed with emotions sometimes control
The will of us all is so strong it's hard to let it go,
Feel the flow, and let it be so

10. The Hearkening

Sean into view
A violent storm twisting and turning
Cold blood runs through every inch of your being
Crawling inside of you

Hide away from danger
Hide away from yourselves
Stay away from danger
Keep away from evil things

Prophecy warned of covering dark and impending doom
Raising the tide with gravity's force pushing and
pulling apart

Where is this world?
Where are the cities drowned by oceans?
Where is this world?
Without man's legacy how will we carry on?

11. Precipice

On the edge of a dream that's where you'll find me
The edge of a dream all seems so real

At the edge of the world is where you'll find yourself
Naked and alone as the day of your birth
Final page has turned reality no more
The nightmare has begun this book will soon close

At the precipice edge we stand alone
Hanging on by a thread we stand alone
Nowhere else to be led we stand alone
On the very edge alone and empty

Reach for the edge hold on with all your might
Regain control lost for so long
Take a hold of yourself too far gone to be saved
Is there nowhere else you can run?

The game is over you've lost
Left alone to count the cost
Leaning over you see the edge
Falling down

On the edge of a dream that's where you'll find me
The edge of a dream all seems so real

Darkness has come it covers you
Hang on to the edge with all your might
Pull yourself up again before your hold is lost
Never too late to recover your dreams

On the edge of a dream is where you'll find me
The edge of a dream all seems so real

At the edge of the world is where you'll find yourself

Naked and alone as the day of your birth
Final page has turned, reality is no more
The nightmare has begun and this book will soon close

At the precipice edge we stand alone
Hanging on by a thread we stand alone
Nowhere else to be led we stand alone
On the very edge alone and empty
