01. Up From the Pits

Intro

02. Nephilim Rising

Our minions are working the surface for years
To feed them our lies and then drown them in tears
Blind of our actions
They won't understand
How we've arranged this to come
Black out the future so bright they once had
So we can take what was ours.

Chorus:
We'll burn down the skies
Crush the hope given by prophets to keep them alive.
Burn all to cinders
And relish in human demise.
Out from a flaming horizon the Nephilim rise.

Hiding in shadows, and wait to appear
Spawn through confusion and bathe them in fear
Out of the darkness
We'll come from below
Torch up the cities above
For our dominion the time's growing near
They'll never see us attack.
Chorus

03. Conspiring Tongues

Intro

04. Weavers Of Nightmares

They are elected, protecting mankind
But from the shadows they're turning you blind.
"Let us protect you, for danger is near,
Choking your freedom our reign comes from fear".

Chorus:
Weaving the fabric of nightmares,
Making their profits from war,
Search for the truth and you'll see with your eyes,
How our future slowly dies...

Objectives are set and their mission is clear
While we're asleep, they inject us with fear
Run to your shepherds, their knives are at hand,
Sheep to the slaughter you die on command.

Chorus

Humanity's sleeping, where's hope to be found?
We'll soon awaken but shackled and bound
Void of our voices, our rights stripped away
Cry then we will for our hands paved the way..

Chorus

05. A Moment of Clarity

Intro

06. Awakening

The years passing by made them stronger
Fortressed their reign of decay
Voices of truth kept in silence
Threw dreams and wishes away.
Now that you see the enslavement
Brought down by underworld kings,
Move and get up from the pavement
Rise up and reclaim your wings.

Bridge:
For a future so bright,
That they kept out of sight,
In the end we will rise

Chorus:
Raise the ramparts, man the guns
Blow them all to hell and back
Fight to reclaim what has been ours
Before the birth of the stars
Give them fire, Give them Hell
Stop when the last one is slain
Break out of your chains, rise unbound
Mankind her freedom she found

For ages they plotted our downfall
Played us like puppets of old
Hiding the truth all around us,
Made us so distant and cold.
Open your eyes look around you,
Nothing is what it may seem
Awaken the spirit within you
Fight to the end for a dream

07. Walk In the Shadows

What? you say you're through with me
Im not through with you
Weve had what others might call love
You say it's over now,
What's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me
I need you

When the fire starts the pains too much
For your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
Ill take you home
Well walk in the shadows
By day well live in a dream
Well walk in the shadows

You say you don't feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secrets safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
Ill be with you

Well walk in the shadows
By day well live in a dream
Well walk in the shadows
One day you'll be with me
If only you believe...

08. Eye Of The Storm

Nothing seems right,
This wicked night
Your heart is empty,
Your soul's full of pain
Just close your eyes,
Leave worries behind
Brace yourself and fly away!

Bridge:
Now face your fears
Flow in the night
You always were on your own...

Chorus:
Dive in your memories, Take what is best
Don't try to hide from yourself
From years to come, You cannot run
So dive in the eye of the storm.

You think you're worthless,
Dust in the wind.
The future is locked for your dreams
Never give up,
Don't think to stop.
Follow your heart
Make it happen.

Bridge

Chorus

09. Virtue And Malice

Two roads lie ahead of you, in every step you take
To pick one isn't just a choice, a vow that cannot break
Virtue is a rugged path, but malice screams inside
All the pleasure, all the joy, you want you cannot hide

Father help me, how could I decide
To kiil the inner call that burns inside
All at once I want but cannot find,
Freedom's not a choice, In my mind

Malice makes a happy soul, when virtue keeps you strong
To pick one never makes you whole, to choose is always wrong
Watch for signs out of the black, to guide you in the night
The path of strength, a call of war, you stand and always fight.

Father help me, how could I decide
To kiil the inner call that burns inside
All at once I want but cannot find,
Freedom's not a choice, In my mind

Just keep an open mind, feed the fire inside
Gaze in your soul, as you walk on through the storm
Straight to the fight

10. 300

Into the mist of a time long ago
Three hundrend men had the duty and courrage to go
Fight with persians a million strong
Their king wants our country, our proud life and even our soul.

We won't surrender so easy, we won't conform to your plan,
You want ourselves and our kingdom, to make it a part of your clan...
We say come and take if you can!

March day and night to wait at the spot,
Where we'll take your lives and then leave free your bodies to rot.
Stand before you at break of the dawn,
And wait there we will till your bodies by our steel be sawn.

Marching in silence as brothers, our eyes in the blue sky above.
We know that our death is for certain,
But in our hearts no remorse...
Straight to the hot gates we go!

Silence our song as we stand proud and tall,
The battle begins and our hearts crave to kill 'em all.
They're like waves falling onto a rock,
We will stand this ground by steel and by fire and stone.

Fight for your kin not for glory, Fight for your land and your homes
In Hades we'll meet to remember
this day when we died as gods...
With utter contempt for the odds!

11. March Of The Slaves

We have to believe,that we face a dead eve
The kingdom's defence,is no more immence
Our freedom they raped,they filled us with hate
They came up so fast,they made it at last.

Chorus:
Insist,raise your fist.
Maybe one day we will find our peace
Feel this ground grass stands pure
Another soldier dies that's for sure.

Our hate now burns,it twists and it turns
We march now to be,independent and free
Our leaders betrayed,they kneeled and they prayed
The time is now right,we'll taste blood tonight.

Chorus

With our hearts burning will,with fire and steel
We'll take back our realm,reach for our dream
Betrayers will burn,forever they'll mourn
When breaking the fence,you'll taste our revenge.

Chorus
