Tracks



01. The Path Unsought

He can not eat, he can not sleep, he can not see that death is coming, I know there's nothing more I can do
In fits and dreams he speaks to me, he says these things beyond belief; I can not take his words as truth

He comes to say his piece...

I know he's travelled so far to find me in this landscape, perilous and full of unknown treachery
And now he's giving his life to tell me things I can't face, how could I betray his utter trust in me?

And with his final breath he, imparts his vital prophecy?
Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn

I must prepare for the path before me, ever daunting, indemnify for my naiveté
And I can no longer hide away pretending nothing, when the world is ending right in front of me

And to bring honour to his soul, I will accept this righteous role
This nameless prophet that could see, that which resides inside of me

Deep inside, I reconcile my fear
Sustain my sickening apathy for good
For the worthiest of men, but a promise escapes me
Wicked blood will run

02. Upon Ashen Wings

This night my son, keep your eyes to the sky, against the black see their shadows for miles
They come with vengeance and hate in their hearts, it's time, they fly, prepare
There's no escape when they take to the air

So come on over, to the other side, where it is colder

Hear tell of these wingless angels flight, escaping through the night
Racing over silent mountain sentries, soaring for their lives

They've chosen their side there is no going back, and Heaven's gates they are closing for good
So when they fight they will fight to the end, it's time, unite, defend
And they'll stand shoulder to shoulder with men

So come on over, to the other side, where you are stronger

Cast out and betrayed for fighting against His terror, broken by the pain but rising again and again

03. Soulstorm

There is a storm coming, I can feel it in my soul, watching the sky go dark as thunder speaks to me
Menacing clouds approaching, they will wrap us in the cold, tempest rising

Electrify! Lightning spans the corners of my mind, abandon all control; release the power
Electrify! Arcing through my fingers, sparks will fly, overloaded it's my final hour

There is no time for running, feel the static in the air, I can't delay the charge it's growing constantly
Try to escape, I'll find you, I am here and everywhere, tension building

Crushed and contorted, no more a human heart
If I embrace electric destiny, always an internal hurricane

Surging with the force, I can feel it, I'll electrify!
