1.	Age of War 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Enter my world of the black dreams of chaos Stand up to the beast in the hearts of men Screams surround the mountains of flesh Amongst the misery, the ignorant lives on Their lies blind us all, and the fear rules the pain in us Take my peace, come take us Beneath the skies the earth cries And the rivers of blood crawl through sea The shadows of death hanging above Invading the souls of the free Breath through fire and deny your existence and Scream in the flames for the light is gone Courage and will ends within the fields of fear Forgotten forever, soaked in our ignorance and tears They say we die young, the spirits are mortal Close my eyes, take me Beneath the skies the earth cries And the rivers of blood crawl through sea The shadows of death hanging above Invading the souls of the free
2.	Land of Uncertainty 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Steer them inside right through me, knives of my fate Soul that sinned of silence, ready to embrace No reason left for me to sit and wait for my time to come, I’m surrounded by Countless bodies rotting yet to see the light of day Every waking hour we dig our graves deeper, no hope left to live Silent suicides the consequence of this darkness we brought upon us In my land of uncertainty Stuck in my head like a nightmare, faces from my past Death to my loved ones, life became my misery, set me free Every waking hour we dig our graves deeper, no hope left to live You curse me in my land for the last time, done being a product of society This time you die!
3.	Subliminal Control 06:06	lyrics	buy track
Terrorists everywhere I see Our saviors march closer everyday Weapons of mass destruction We keep and intend to abuse Save us from ourselves My brothers are who need to be killed Kill them all, peace prevails Fight fire with fire mother you tell me Red white and blue we cowards bow to you Mother television I will give in All the secrets you exposes to keep me safe Mother television stop these thoughts in my head Brainwash me with pictures and hopes filled with lies One sick and twisted family we are Nation directed by the unholy one eyed priest Sworn our souls to annihilate Piece by piece we tear each other apart You showed me things so beautiful mother Then plant a seed of fear Distraction won't let me see the real enemy Innocence you take away everyday Blinded by my will to see the truth Hypnotized my brain, sacrifice my youth Taught me to be my own worst enemy Mother television I won't give in Sick and tired, figures and numbers, hallucinations Locked inside an asylum that is my head, I close my eyes to feel what’s real Every breath is a tortured by your incest way One sick and twisted family we are Nation directed by the unholy one eyed priest Drowning pool of faithless hope God's chosen ones tear each other apart Now that I hear enemy's footstep on my door Surprised to see I served them far too long
4.	Salvation 06:54	lyrics	buy track
As night falls around me I watch life seeking shelter The cold breath feeds my fear Staring into the sky We crave for mortal needs Alone we hold the shade Repent the hold of death We die to live again Break free chains that enslave your soul Claim your right to salvation Crawl in my veins The truth lies to me itself Read the signs of pain As the words shiver out of me Face their lies, cry no more Embrace the world beyond, you're not alone The dawn peels the dark away We are slaves to silence Save all humanity Shed no blood to waste
5.	Suicide and Comfort 05:57	lyrics	buy track
Colors fade in a place hard to reach Until the only picture left is black and blurry Knees feel weak they shake all strange A notion of bitter truth sweeping away Why am I not surprised, I’m in too deep Is it too late? Dark must consume all that’s inside, turn me on and leave me blank Temptation, rush of emotion Fly to escape and stare right feel it rushing closer Plunge into the deep oceans, two never ending minutes of fame A part of me begs to stop, the other wants to let go Why am I not surprised, I’m in too deep Is it too late? Dark must consume all that’s inside, turn me on and leave me blank Numb to the core, faced down i lay on the ground Is it all you have to offer? Yet numb is better I feel them come for me, I hear them getting closer All the shit I leave behind I feel unfulfilled But I escape into red with one last breath Of my life I resent nothing goodbye 5
6.	The Hourglass 06:32	lyrics	buy track
Once we witnessed a storm Rise and fall, illusion of greatness Mystery deceived our eyes Blood and gore with vengeance in sight Confused we wandered Seeking peace Divide and conquer A voice from a distant land A mist of cold and dissent To tame us all And rise again We travelled through time We saw the great ones fall Grace and strength together Stare at stars Glare till they fall apart Sacrifice Revive us The wise man spoke to us Oh keep your faith Believers in ignorance Saw them rule us all Saw them crawl Divided they fall Together they stand Jihad is the only option we have left Dignity or what’s left of it to be saved The leaders we follow are filth Time for scum to be slayed Lost souls wander for shelter from Skies that rain fire Forsaken in a land of broken dreams Time is not on our side
7.	Crucifix 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Obsessed with our destruction Bounded by the circle Figures that haunt the dead There’s no confusion Last breaths that you take Remind me of the time you fell to pieces Your time is running out There’s no escaping me Tied to the core you can’t break free Forsaken and abandoned you wait Demons that feed on your flesh Here to bleed you dry Last hope of salvation lost And it’s too late to switch sides Your time is running out There’s no escaping me This hell to another we share the same fate Tears you won’t shed numb your pain This hell to another we trace What sets us free is a promise empty
