Tracks



01. Enraged

You took my wings
And I took your life
A fair trade by any measure

If you ever try to restore
That broken body of yours
I'll be there waiting for you

Even if my face is young
My mind is ancient
My hate is ancient
As well as my love

Feel free to question me
Let out all the hate you feel
But I think we can agree
In love and war
Nothing is ideal
And this is both

A different face
But all the same rage
I make my stand on desecrated grounds

When bloodlust claims me
You better watch out
I'm coming after you with all I got

Even if my face is young
My mind is ancient
My hate is ancient
As well as my love

Feel free to question me
Let out all the hate you feel
But I think we can agree
In love and war
Nothing is ideal
And this is both

All is fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war

Feel free to question me
Let out all the hate you feel
But I think we can agree
In love and war
Nothing is ideal
And this is both

Feel free to question me
Let out all the hate you feel
But I think we can agree
In love and war
Nothing is ideal
In love and war

02. The Worst Day (Revisited)

Speeding down memory lane
I find a lot of grudges to be held
But a few ripe enough to let go

She hailed like a storm wind
I hardly knew what hit me
My heart was taken hostage
And then it's just illusory

We all know
There's no happy ending
Only a varied haul
Before the bad one
Sometimes you have to lose everything
To find yourself

May the bridges that I burn
Light the way on this nameless road
We passed the point of no return
And watched the worst day unfold

How is life treating you?

Undeniably better than you ever did
For once I'm just
Going to call it for what it was

A futile dream, stuffed with naivety
Built on pillars of lies and egoism
You had your reasons, I had my pride
And with my pride I soldier on

May the bridges that I burn
Light the way on this nameless road
We passed the point of no return
And watched the worst day unfold

We are not fooling anyone
We are both going to burn in hell
I will book the furnace next to you
And we can argue for eternity

Whoever mistreated
Who the most
Since there's a dispute
On the matter

(May the bridges that I burn)
(May the bridges that I burn)
(Light the way on this nameless road)
(We passed the point of no return)

May the bridges that I burn
Light the way on this nameless road
We passed the point of no return
And watched the worst day unfold

And I would let you off the hook
But it's such a complex hook
Better be leaving on my road
Never ask which way I took

03. King Of Clubs

This is my city now
An alien city
I will exploit it all
And bend it to my needs

Much like the locust you are
Consuming everything
Deplete and find another target
You have no idea what you brought in

To never be good
Enough for you
But nothing was ever
Good enough for you

Hear me out
If it was a game, who's the winner now?
You know, 'cause I fail to see
If there's really one at all
Face forward into a solid brick wall

You have launched me
Into eternity
Hate was always my trade
Until I met you

It has found its way back
For that you'll get full credit
We had a mission and you failed it
Bringing down the team

To never be good
Enough for you

Hear me out
If it was a game, who's the winner now?
You know, 'cause I fail to see
If there's really one at all
Face forward into a solid brick wall

This is a case of my darkness
(My darkness)
Versus your instability
(Instability)
There's no judge, jury, attorney or lawyer
That can ever solve it

This is for the nights I waited on you
This is for the fortune I wasted on us
And this is for giving up my entire life
Just to be with you

But the saddest part of it all
Is that I would do it all again
Given the chance
Have no illusions

I still think you are a coward
Who gave up the fight
Instead of gritting one's teeth
And pulling through

To never be good
Enough for you
But nothing was ever
Good enough for you

Hear me out
If it was a game, who's the winner now?
You know, 'cause I fail to see
If there's really one at all
Face forward into a solid brick wall

This is a case of my darkness
(My darkness)
Versus your instability
(Instability)
There's no judge, jury, attorney or lawyer
That can ever solve it

Only thing worse than the worst day
Is the worst day revisited
The same dagger is buried in my spine
But different people keep twisting it

Soon you're going to need a bigger knife
To effectively damage me
But I'm proud of who I am
And of what I've become
The King of Clubs

04. Heartseeker

You can search a lifetime for true love
If you find it
Do you have what it takes
To conduct and keep it?

Having you was a gift
As much as it was a curse
A burden that now has run its course

You went completely postal
In the sanctum of my heart
I regret that I allowed you in at all

Did I always say
The right things wrong?
All questions I had, left unanswered
Do good things ever come
To those who wait?
Or do they just wait forever?

Sometimes you need to pause life
And get out
To check if you're on the right train
I guess that's what you did?

When the fat lady finally sang
The worst part was not to lose true love
(Lose true love)
The worst part was to lose my best friend

I'll be another stone
In that heavy backpack of yours
And you'll forever be the one that got away

Did I always say
The right things wrong?
All questions I had, left unanswered
Do good things ever come
To those who wait?
Or do they just wait forever?

Forever looks awfully
Much like 4 years
4 years, 3 months and 9 days (9 days)
To be more precise
Now you know, kids

Did I always say
The right things wrong?
All questions I had, left unanswered
Do good things ever come
To those who wait?
Or do they just wait forever?

Got to be who you are
In this world
Never walk out on your own story
But if you ever need
Me again
You know that I'll be
I'll be around

05. Photobs Grip

As natural as it seems
Not to bring sticks and stones
To a knife fight
You shouldn't bring guns
To a nuclear war

Finally free
With some intervention by a loyal bogey
Evil has left the building
But my heart is full throttle aching

As devious as the stone face
Of Mars watches Phobos
The unguided mauler will strike
At the heart of fear
And in my escape, I managed to
Get a good hit at him
It was not enough
To end my torturer
But you didn't have to cut me up

Heart like a rock
When their heads gonna roll
I will bring back
Everything they stole
No memory left of daylight
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Your blood after midnight

Time, it takes and never gives
It will decide who lives
But first I must set this straight
Smash, smash, smash
Down Heaven's gate

What information
He retrieved from me?
I do not know
But they needed it badly

Know this: I'm not human
Only human enough
But I'm wired directly
To the core of this world

As devious as the stone face
Of Mars watches Phobos
The unguided mauler will strike
At the heart of fear
But you didn't have to cut me up

Heart like a rock
When their heads gonna roll
I will bring back
Everything they stole
No memory left of daylight
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Your blood after midnight

Time, it takes and never gives
It will decide who lives
But first I must set this straight
Smash, smash, smash
Down Heaven's gate

The brighter I shine
The denser my shadow grows
They must not establish
An uplink to this planet's soul

But you didn't have to cut me up
Why did you cut me up?

Heart like a rock
When their heads gonna roll
I will bring back
Everything they stole
No memory left of daylight
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Your blood after midnight

Time, it takes and never gives
It will decide who lives
But first I must set this straight
Smash, smash, smash
Down Heaven's gate

Heart like a rock
When their heads gonna roll
No memory left of daylight
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Your blood after midnight

06. Black Eyed Angel

She is back
Forever we waited
For Eve's return
Oh, what a return
She is the key
The kiss of death
In this final hour

You know her
(You know her)
You've always known her
From the fireside of Eden
Her dark orbs
Stared right at you

Holding a freshly salvaged demon heart
In a firm grip with her pale hands
That's how you remember her
And naturally how she should be remembered

Everyone is haunted by the past
Few get the opportunity to change it
Finally together at long last
Millenniums past since the strange split

I lost you once
It's not gonna happen again
I know what hell looks like
I'll tell you all about it
I've been there

Do you remember ancient times
When you broke a piece of your heart?
Forever it hung around my neck
Forever it was my beacon of light

God's influence here
Is thin and threadbare
And I hit the tornado head on
Just didn't think the storm would last this long

Everyone is haunted by the past
Few get the opportunity to change it
Finally together at long last
Millenniums past since the strange split

Everyone is haunted by the past
Few get the opportunity to change it
Finally together at long last
Millenniums past since the strange split

We will save this world together
It's me and you forever

Everyone is haunted by the past
Few get the opportunity to change it
Finally together at long last
Millenniums past since the strange split

Everyone is haunted by the past
Haunted, haunted by the past
Finally together at long last
At long last

We will save this world together
It's me and you forever

07. Operation: E.A.E.

We sacrificed everything
To infiltrate the cage
Of this self-proclaimed god
Ready at the entrance of hell

You might have diamond skin
But you will never escape our irradiated fury
We will take the power back
And put an end to this conflict

A whole race at gunpoint
Six wraiths were lost
Uncounted human casualties
The damage you have done

They built walls
Not to keep us out
But to keep them in
All places
All things have souls
All souls can be devoured
Be devoured

Your bionic eyes
Won't witness another sunrise
The torment of your kind
Won't ever defeat us

A whole race at gunpoint
Six wraiths were lost
Uncounted human casualties
The damage you have done
You have done

They built walls
Not to keep us out
But to keep them in
All places
All things have souls
All souls can be devoured

This is a broken world
Emanate and eradicate
This is a broken world
Emanate and eradicate

Six years and a day
Make it rain bullets and flames
Bring forth heaven's bane
The cog must be destroyed

As free men
We will rise again tomorrow

Yeah, they built walls
Not to keep us out
But to keep them in
All places
All things have souls
All souls can be devoured

They built walls
To keep them in

This is a broken world
Emanate and eradicate
This is a broken world
Emanate and eradicate

Six years and a day
Make it rain bullets and flames
Bring forth heaven's bane
The cog must be destroyed

08. Boneyard

Leave your troubles for a while
They'll still be there when you come back
Time is always too short
For those who really need it

Where no ghost is holy
Only dead
I'm just a soul attached
To a corpse

All species are equal but some
Just seem a bit more equal
Even if it's just the same debris
But different protein structure

Black knight satellite
How long have you silently
Observed our self-destruction?

Keep telling yourself
Heaven is worth the waiting
We are all stuck here
On this boneyard
Of our own making

Each day you live your life
The exact same way
And for some reason you still
Expect different results?

Different results
(Different results)

Keep telling yourself
Heaven is worth the waiting
We are all stuck here
On this boneyard
Of our own making

It takes life to create life
What do we do when it's all gone?
Aren't you proud of this
Proud of this
Boneyard we call Earth?

Tried to change the world
Only to find out
It's the people we need to change
The people need to change

The healthy have a thousand wishes
The sick have but only one
Listen to our planet's screams
She only wishes to be healed

Keep telling yourself
Heaven is worth the waiting
We are all stuck here
On this boneyard
Of our own making

It takes life to create life
What do we do when it's all gone?
Aren't you proud of this
Proud of this
Boneyard we call Earth?

09. Hate (And Other Triumphs)

My entire life
I've been waiting for this moment
But now when it's right in front of me
I can't make no sense of it

Is this really what it's all about?
Why do I urge to find a way out?
And build a new life
Far away from here?

The glaives cut their way in
And the hammer did its
Ultimate job
In a single strike
The cog was no more

Our revolution
And undying hope
Carried victory

Finally
The war is over
But what do we have left but hate?
There is nothing left but hate

Blindly
We follow death's drover
Being pulled towards our own fate
There is nothing left but hate

The wrath of heaven
Is serene for now
But the darkness will return
It always does

A child will be born
Who will give back to Earth
What we have taken from it
Whilst walking in his father's shadow

Finally
The war is over
But what do we have left but hate?
There is nothing left but hate

Blindly
We follow death's drover
Being pulled towards our own fate
But what is left but hate?

Savor the peace for it won't last
Enjoy the silence while it's still here
And prepare for vengeance
Because it's coming your way
Unguided we were
Unguided we will be

10. Mercy

Spit out the bitter taste of hate
Everything that is now wrong, was once right

This is going to get a lot worse
Before it gets better
And I don't even care who shot first
You're lost to where light doesn't travel

Your hatred is growing strong
When you're knee-deep in the dead
But I will always give you the opportunity
To choose life

In this game, the only winning move
Is not to play at all
Everything not saved
Will be lost forever

You saw me fall from the sky
We are the last of our kind
Peace is hard to come by
Leaving heaven behind
I'm not the son of man
For me the rules do not apply
I show mercy to our nemesis
I won't be predefined

Evil is always possible
Goodness is eternally difficult
But misunderstand me right
Both are equally necessary

We are not strong
Despite one another
We will always be strong
Because of one another

In this game, the only winning move
Is not to play at all
Everything not saved
Will be lost forever

You saw me fall from the sky
We are the last of our kind
Peace is hard to come by
Leaving heaven behind
I'm not the son of man
For me the rules do not apply
I show mercy to our nemesis
I won't be predefined

Spit out the bitter taste of hate
The bitter taste of hate
Everything that is now wrong
Was once right

You saw me fall from the sky
And we left heaven behind
Heaven behind

You saw me fall from the sky
We are the last of our kind
Peace is hard to come by
Leaving heaven behind
I'm not the son of man
For me the rules do not apply
I show mercy to our nemesis
I won't be predefined

You saw me fall
From the sky
And after all
I can't deny
I'm not the son of man
For me the rules do not apply
I show mercy to our nemesis
I won't be predefined

11. Judgment

In the darkest hour of deceit
From the highest heavens finally released
One of the three thrones is now my seat
And on the traitors' mind I will feast

Fear must go on
Overkill is underrated

When everyone says yes
I will always say no (say no)
It's my laws
You will have to follow

Life is the longest journey
One will ever experience
I have lived for eons
But no patience for disobedience

If you don't bend
I will break you
Whilst I blind you
With my blue eyes' radiance

When everyone says yes
I will always say no (say no)
It's my laws
You will have to follow
And I will bring order
To this shell-shocked land
My wish will always be
Your command

Enough justice has been served
Enough justice

I am judgment
I am primeval
I take no prisoners
I take their life

Fear must go on

Those who know
Do not speak
Those who speak
Do not know

When everyone says yes
I will always say no (say no)
It's my laws
You will have to follow
And I will bring order
To this shell-shocked land
My wish will always be
Your command

Enough justice has been served
And fear must always go on
Enough justice has been served
