Tracks



01. Threshold

There are clouds on the horizon
Shifting colours, heavy rain
High above the roaring thunder
Shooting bullets through your brain

There's something wicked left behind
A baleful sight, a coming
A sinister state of your minds

Behold the skies, the port of heaven
See the stairway down to hell
The gate is open, lift the curse
We set aside our dreams and visions
We are one we will unite
At the Threshold of the universe we will rise

Late at night they heard the sirens
From a place so far away
Allied forces, mighty brethren
In a vesture of decay

They are the legions of the night
Turning darkness into?
Turning the dark into light

Behold the skies, the port of heaven
See the stairway down to hell
The gate is open, lift the curse
We set aside our dreams and visions
We are one we will unite
At the Threshold of the universe

Solo: Stefan

Behold the skies, the port of heaven
See the stairway down to hell
The gate is open, lift the curse
We set aside our dreams and visions
We are one we will unite
At the Threshold of the universe

02. The Fire Burns Forever

Fire, burn?

Danced with the devil
Now your soul is bruised and scarred
There ain't no pride and dignity
Weaving down the rust paved boulevard

You lived your life thought you'd be immortalized
The moral of your story, what goes up must come back down

Fire, burn?
The Fire Burns Forever
Fire, burn?
The fire burns Forever more

A moment of silence
Just before you hit the stage
This is your day of reckoning
To pay back all the dues and turn the page

You hit rock bottom and you stood the count to ten
Came back to harvest glory, now your star will shine again

Fire, burn?
The Fire Burns Forever
Fire, burn?
The fire burns Forever more

Cause every step the light tracers follow
And every move you make, might be your last mistake

Solo: Stefan

Fire, burn?
The Fire Burns Forever
Fire, burn?
The fire burns Forever more

Fire, fire, burn

03. Rebel Inside

Intro A battle with pride and ego
A journey that started long ago
A lifetime of passion and woe
Rebel Inside

Legends in our lifetime
We have our hearts set in the past
and eyes towards the future
Rebel Inside

The Thunder Five are riding once again
Hell bent on blazing their own trail
To seek our fortune and the fame
We're Warriors?WARRIORS

We're sick and tired of trying to explain
That it's our life, it's not a game
The need to be will never wane

We're Warriors...WARRIORS

Rebel Inside?REBEL FOR LIFE
Rebel Inside

We'll never bend or bow we'll be
always unbroken, can't you see
We deal in steel and liberty

We're immortalized...IMMORTALIZED

Realize it's not just how we are
it's in our blood, to seek the stars
the Crimson red will take us far

We're immortalized...IMMORTALIZED

Rebel Inside?REBEL FOR LIFE
Rebel Inside

Solo: Oscar, Stefan

A battle with pride and ego

We have our hearts set in the past
and eyes towards the future

04. Natural High

Last night I had a vivid dream
I found a place where nothing's what it seemed
I'm bound to walk this earth alone
I am a hunter and the heir to the throne

The taste of blood and sweet revenge
It keeps hammering in my head
The urge to kill is getting stronger
I'm south of heaven north of hell, my final place to dwell

Surrender your soul, surrender your pride
please enter my dream, find your Natural High
You got nothing to fear, cuz your rebirth is near

The bat awakens deep inside
Nowhere to run for my eternal bride
And when the darkness comes around
I come alive cause for your sweet blood I am bound

I taste your blood, so bittersweet
Come ease my pain get on your knees
You know true love is meant to be
Forever is now what it seems, this is your final scream

Surrender your soul, surrender your pride
please enter my dream, find your Natural High
You got nothing to fear, cuz your rebirth is near

So you are born again on a far higher plane
In my dark Neverland, you're part of the game
Forever we are, forever we'll be, we're forever free

Solo: Stefan, Oscar

Surrender your soul, surrender your pride
please enter my dream, find your Natural High
You got nothing to fear, cuz your rebirth is near

05. Dark Wings, Dark Words

It's been a long cold winter
Widespread snowfall, raging storms
Cutting winds, delusions of our heart and soul

He came down from the mountains
Into our frozen world
Spoke of revolution
Fed us with his words

A sacred man from the other side
He gave us something to believe in
How could we be so blind

His right hand gave us freedom
While the other stole our pride
We thought he had the answers
Standing by his side

Tales of a world, not so far away
We got entangled in his vows
How could we be so blind

Oh, oh?
Heed the seven signs
When sun and moon unite
Oh, oh?
Fear the dark winged messenger
Dread his darkened words

Solo: Stefan

A graven image, shattered
A meltdown of our wonderland
As the sun rise slowly
We try to understand

Our sacred hearts lost prosperity
But we found a way back home
From dusk came clarity

Oh, oh?
Heed the seven signs
When sun and moon unite
Oh, oh?
Fear the dark winged messenger
Dread his darkened words

06. Howling With The Pack

There is a crying in the nightfall
There is a howling in the wind
And when the urge is getting stronger
We hit the streets, the city calls
The night is free-for-all

We rule the dark and we do as we please
And nothing can stop us, no time to catch some z´s

Howlin' with the 'Pac
Fighting for the right to be
Howlin' with the 'Pac
Templars of the first degree

We never minded any warnings
Or asked directions from the stars
And when the moon start it's ascending
We feel the rush the inner glow
The crimson river flow

We have the might and the power to succeed
And nothing can stop us, cuz we're the restless breed

Howlin' with the 'Pac
Fighting for the right to be
Howlin' with the 'Pac
Templars of the first degree

And when our legion's falling down
We will crawl back from hell, reclaim the crown
The sign is shining for us
It's glow will lead us on our way
When we are lead astray

Solo: Stefan, Oscar

We rule the dark and we do as we please
There's no way to stop us, no time to catch some z´s

Howlin' with the 'Pac
Fighting for the right to be
Howlin' with the 'Pac
Templars of the first degree

07. Shadow Empire

As I open up my eyes
I see a face I don't recognize
If the mirror tells the truth
Then who the hell am I

I scan the surface high and low
I hear voices from above
Everything I can detect
Not a thing I will neglect

Countdown, I'm coming through
I'm the vengeance
I'm the danger
I'm one, the shining sun

Shadow Empire - Shadow Empire
The rise of the machine
Shadow Empire - Shadow Empire
They rise up from their graves, to steal our dreams

I see the world in infrared
I hear the voices of the dead
I'm half man and half machine
The essence of your dream

Soon the judgement bell will toll
I'll take back everything they stole
I'm the judge, the hammer falls
Liberty and metal for all

Countdown, your time has come
I'm the vengeance
Your in danger
Your the one, let justice be done

Shadow Empire - Shadow Empire
The rise of the machine
Shadow Empire - Shadow Empire
They rise up from the graves to steal our vivid dreams

In my heart there's always winter
Can not rest until I found the masterkey
The masterkey of trust

In my mind the arctic wind blows
Can not sleep, I can not rest before the dawn
Brings back the light, the light of day.

Solo: Stefan

Shadow Empire - Shadow Empire
The rise of the machine
Shadow Empire - Shadow Empire
They rise up from the graves to steal our vivid dreams

08. Carved In Stone

There is silence in the dark
There's a fire, ready to start
Torn pages, inked by fury
The inception of the damned

They are calling out my name
Come, please join us and carry the flame
Our precious time is standing still
When the future meets the past

No freedom, no glory
There's no future, no past
This will be our?

One last wish, one last dream
Will you follow the masses, or follow your own?
One last chance, one last scream
Before your future will be carved in stone

I remember what they said
I still hear them inside my head
The legions of damnation
They keep calling out my name

The wind blows, forever
But the time is standing still
This will be our?

One last wish, one last dream
Will you follow the masses, or follow your own?
One last chance, one last scream
Before your future will be carved in stone

Knock, a knock on my door
Please revoke what you're asking for

Solo: Oscar

One last wish, one last dream
Will you follow the masses, or follow your own?
One last chance, one last scream
Before your future will be carved in stone

10. Genocide

Once there was a time, when we were standing
Back to back against the whole conception
Once we had it all the world was our pleasure dome

Times were changing fast, our dreams were fading
Black, the darkness fell on our creation
Time was running out, we were falling one by one

We live by honor
We fight for freedom
We die but you can't slay our pride

Behind these walls, we deem, take hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please - Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate - Genocide

Fall, mighty Babylon your might is declining
Fast, your on your knees repent your sinning
Fall beyond the realms of hell, we are born again

We live by honor
We fight for freedom
We die but you can't slay our pride

Behind these walls, we deem , take hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please - Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate - Genocide

Solo: Stefan

Behind these walls, we deem , take hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please - Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate - Genocide

11. Titan

The gate is closed, the sky is burning
Dark clouds are closing in
A world at war, no revelation could've
predicted the mankind's fall

Somewhere above - beyond the lunar skies
We'll be resurrected -Ah!
What have we done - we paid the highest price
No shelter for the undeserving masses

Standing in line for our final journey
Into space and beyond
A final sigh, a breath of hope we gotta
Heed the terminal call

Counting the stars - we pulled the shortest straw
Life is fading rapidly - Ah!
Nothing remains - A withered devil's claw
Sole surrvivors picking up the pieces

Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun

Solo: Stefan

So this is the new beginning
So far away, so far away

Solo:Oscar

We leave our past behind us
No turning back, no turning back

Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun
Titan
Even the dark has a silver lining
Titan, Titan
Shining bright so far beyond the sun

Oh, oh?
We will fly
Oh,oh?
We're flying into space
Oh, oh?
Fly, fly away
Oh, oh?
We're flying into space
