Tracks



01. Horizon

In my mind I hear a rising whisper
A transmission from the other side
Getting closer drawing nearer
Now my thoughts becomes so clear...

Death becomes the reason for my prayer
I call to you but no one is there
Tell me there is more than this
I cannot face the nothingness
Confronted by a truth I can't deny

I must break these chains
That lock my mind
No more mysteries
To hide behind

Ohh....
The truth can't be denied

Now I will surrender to the flames
To the flames
To rise again
We stand upon the threshold, nothing of the old shall remain

Broken horizons
Transcend the limits of my sight
Broken
Broken
Horizon

02. The Turning Of The Gears

Denied every chance to succeed
What else can they take away from me
Someone owns the air that I breathe
Nothing left to take away... from me

In the corner of my mind the clock is ticking
Can't slow down the pace is unrelenting
Must obey commands of the master
Running but the wheel keeps turning faster

Day after day, year after year
All I can hear is the turning of the gears
Day after day, year after year
All I can hear is the turning of the gears

Turning....
Turning...
Turning...
Someone make it stop!
Day after day, year after year
All I know is I can't hide from the fear
Another day, Can't face another year
When all I hear is the turning of the gears

03. One Dimension

I can't believe what I see
What happened to society?
Can you believe what you see? No!
The time has come to raise your voice, now
We're so sick of all these lies
That show their face with no disguise
Fighting wars across the sear
But back home, the bank owns me
That ain't right!

All these wolves don't want you free
So there you are with your TV
Watch the news and be afraid
Should they tell you who you should hate?
Well...
Doesn't matter what you believe
It looks the same when you bleed
It's one dimension
One dimension! One dimension!
Whoa-oh
One dimension
Under the sun
All are one
They're tearing us apart and it's only just the start
And they say who lives or dies
But they don't know who we are
One!
Only one!

Hey man, that ain't no solution
Judge, jury, execution!
Doesn't matter what you believe
It looks the same when you bleed
It's one dimension
One dimension! One dimension!
Whoa-oh
One dimension
Under the sun
All are one

Makes no difference what you believe
Cause tonight everyone bleeds
For one dimension
One dimension! One dimension!
Ohhhhh yeah!
One dimension
All are one
All are one!

04. Hunter-Seeker

Hunter!
Seeker!

A liar and deceiver
Hiding behind my sight
What is that sound?
From
Somewhere
Out there in my mind

The dakness creeping in
It's watching from all sides
Cybernetic talons
Are reaching
Into my mind

Nowhere to hide

Hunter! Seeker!

I rise another day
I awaken as a slave
The eyes is watching me
For my own security

Feel the wind across my back
I hear as the blade is drawn
Programmed to assasinate
A silent oblivion

Hunter! Seeker!

You are being watched
They are always watching
Watching
Waiting
The eye never sleeps
Never

You are being watched

I rise another day
I awaken as a slave
Operation Prism
Turn The World to grey

05. Black Sun, Black Moon

One thousand miles of highway, and zero points of light
The road stretches before me, no end in sight
I tear across the valleys dividing space and time
I look upon this world and I know that it is dying...
A new sun rises
Another...
Descends into the night, at terrifying speed
Smoke rises from the desert
As the lines begin to bleed
Together in the blackness
With presences unknown
Another thought is in my mind
But it is not my own

Desolation
Isolation
Behold the ascension
Of a new star

I need to find the key
Unlock the hidden door
And lift the veil so I can see once more

Across endless deserts
Beyond... the skies
Black sun, black moon
Rising hiiigh!

06. Scars Remain

No... this can't be happening
Trying to forget, what I've become
Why? I fight with all my strength
But still the scars remain
Still they remain...
Searching for something that I will never find
How... was I so blind?

Another life is washed away
Nothing is left but pain
There is no change
Time heals nothing
Scars!
Scars remain
Scars remain
Scars remain
Time heals nothing

Pull me from the gutter, away from all the lies
I cannot face reality, the fear that grows inside
My heart is rising, and soon it will turn black
Once I step across that line there's no way to turn back
Rolling in the vomit, the blood and the filth
Blinded by the alcohol, the drugs, and the pills
I fight another battle, the violence begins
The enemy is me, so how can I win?

Another life is washed away
Nothing exists but pain
There is no change
Time heals nothing
Scars!
Scars remain
Scars remain
Scars remain
Time heals nothing

Rise out from the shadow
Leave the old self behind
Within lies the strength
To triumph, above all
Above!
Rise!

07. Dying Light

Infinite
Incarnate once again
Know I have been summoned
By the voices in your head
And know it was your priest
That gave me human form
Corruption of the innocent
They wait for my return
Weakening the minds
Blinding of the eyes
You kneel before the altar
And now you are mine

Eternal dark i will descend
Where there is light i am the end
Cause in the shadows of the night...
Witness the dying of the light!

Its secret warns the blood is spilled
You reap what you have sewn
The kings send mortars to their deaths
From high atop their thrones
Behold the wasteland
Where no more life exists
Welcome to the world you have created

Eternal dark i will descend
Where there is light i am the end
Cause in the shadows of the night
Witness the dying...
The dying of the light!

The earth opens beneath your feet
Unleashing Fire... Ahhhh!!!

From the books the word is spoken
At last i have been made whole... Again!

Dying... Dying Light!
Witness the dying of the light... Light!!!
You've brought back what was once concealed
And now... Your fate is sealed!

08. Iron City

Coming to your town tonight
Another day out on the road
We're turning up the power
Gonna make some heads explode... Right!
Then we're outta here!

Volume screaming through the air
Heads start to collide
There's gonna be a meltdown
Maximum overdrive

They came to us and asked
What the hell we're doing here
We're gonna play it loud
And drink some shitty beer!
Yeah

Iron, Iron City!
Iron, Iron City!
All Right!

The show is done
The gear is packed
And now it's time to rage
I think i'm seeing double
So now there's twice as many face
They came to me and asked
What the hell i'm doing here
I said just shut your mouth
And drink your fucking beer!

Oh
Iron, Iron City!
Iron, Iron City!
Yeah
Iron, Iron City!
Hey
Iron, Iron City!
Yeah!!!

In... In God We Rust!

09. Leviathan

Drowning! I descend
Sinking endlessly
A light is shining from somewhere far below
A pale glow reflecting
From lost temples of stone...
A thousand years
Since the day they saw the sun
Secrets of Atlantis, forgotten no more
Far, far beneath the ocean
The temples are emerging
And the monuments arise
Leviathan approaching
At the coming of the tides

Out from the depths
Out from the depths below
We drown
Drown

Titans walk upon the earth again
Skies are cracked, the sea rushes in
Cities fall beneath the surging tides
The ancient gods shall rise

Out from the depths
Out from the depths below
We drown
Drown

10. Off With Their Heads!

Burn down all the towers
Tear them to the ground
Their time is at an end
The time to strike is now

Off with their heads!
Those who have lied

To us about the past
They lied about tomorrow
They promised us a future
Brought only pain and sorrow
Liars!

Off with their heads!
Those who have lied
Off with their heads!
The axe is coming down

11. Towers Of The Serpent

Ultimate power
Is all that they crave
Taking everything away
We are enslaved

All consuming never ending reaching to the sky
Coils wrapped around the throne of lies

Towers... Towers!
Toweroftheserpent

They speak with poisoned tongues
And think with poisoned minds
They seek the jeweled crown
And cannot be denied
The knife twists in my back
My mind under attack
The power over flesh
A gleam in the eye of set

Higher... Higher!
Tearing through the clouds
No end in sight
'Till all have bowed

Infidel defilers
Drown in lakes of blood
Witness your new masters
The men who will be gods

Towers... Towers!
Toweroftheserpent

They speak with poisoned tongues
And think with poisoned minds
Their words will draw you in
Don't look into their eyes
The dagger in my back
The venom in my veins
Who controls the flesh
A gleam in the eye of set

A gleam in the eye!

Never turn your back
They deceive and they beguile
There is a way for every father taught
There are fangs behind each smile

I've seen the golden ages past
The glory days long gone
A nation hangs in tethered sorrow
Exiled from the sun
The vultures circle overhead
Towers that blaze with fire
Picking at the bones
Of our fallen empire
