Salvation and Sin 06:32
lyrics
buy track
~VERSE~ I have no reason to hate, I have no reason to love, Free from the rain of my life, All that is left is the voice in my soul Telling me how, Setting me free, Singing its love, Filling the rupture Feeling it burn! Never ending Twisting and turning It's always stinging ~CHORUS~ Like an arrow in the night; The ending's in sight! And now I'm free from the pain, And I'm starting to feel, That there's hope left for us! Is salvation really a sin? While we live, we will cry... breathing on a whim Terminate, fornicate, thought you loved death? I will dream to redeem You can't save yourself; Not now! ~VERSE 2~ Losing my last grasp of this... Sinking into the abyss... It's fading, it's caving, reaper is calling, He will see the shattered joke we called a home... Home... ~OUTRO~ Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

~CHORUS~ I am the mysterious bane of life I am the hunter and you cannot hide Descending upon you like plague leaking death Revenge will be mine, cries will be your last breath! ~VERSE~ You made this war, you've been here before; I am waiting... Demissing mistakes, committed by fakes; Hopeless for you... I'll watch you burn Through every turn Prophecise How you die! ~CHORUS~ Blood on my hands my foes fall left and right Last one expected to get up and fight Mercy is a foreign thought to my mind Count your blessings traitor your life will be mine! Oh! ~BRIDGE~ Freedom from fire! Pawn of the liar! Run, you can't cry! Kill the messiah... Mother and father Blood from another Your death for hire; Assassin's power!

Gates of Heaven 04:52
lyrics

~INTRO~ Without faith, I live as I please I am free from His higher pleas I live life as full as I can I will live and die my own man Approaching mid life, no trouble and no strife Just one thought on my mind; how shall I take God's knife? With mercy? In tremor? An endless endeavour Try to grasp my terror and how will... Now? ~VERSE~ See myself as if from afar It's not absolute, the gates are still ajar I can't decide if I want this faith But I need to trust, it can't be too late I have my doubts, I'm blackened by awe Will He take me in, will He let me fall? Redeem me Father, I know I've sinned Will you take me father, will you take me in? ~CHORUS~ Lord, at the Gates of Heaven Lay your judgement on me Lord, at the Gates of Heaven Will your judgement let me be? ~CHORUS~ Lord, at the Gates of Heaven Lay your judgement on me Lord, at the Gates of Heaven Will your judgement let me be? Lord, did you forgive my brethren? When they perished and all died? Lord, open the Gates of Heaven Will you though I have lied?

lyrics

~VERSE~ We are heroes, victorious Stand over foes, stand glorious Unkempt madness, raging sadness You were mine, you're out of time Silent, she shies No one heard cries See for your eyes Everyone dies Secrets denied in your life... ~CHORUS~ I had come for you! Defending you from yourself! Malicious, I'm a fool! Hypocrite; I loathe myself... ~BRIDGE~ Painful; you were once me Armageddon; God served us well Scream for fire, heat and death End it now, I'm in disgrace Cast aside my brothers Cast aside my lovers Cast aside remorse And I scream; where are you now!? ~OUTRO~ I see now as I fade Knowing I have merely days Where is my brother?! And I scream; where are you now! Rhetorics plungs through me Gripping, laughing at me Where is my mother? And I scream; where are you now!? ~CHORUS~ I had come for you! Defending you from yourself! Malicious, I'm a fool Hypocrite; I loathe myself...

Legends of Ignorance 07:30
lyrics

~VERSE~ Rise up and take control Of this broken world, Of this broken system; We are the victims of Our own misplays, our only array Of light and dark, Of good and bad; We are the victims of Life! Will we die here? In the world we've frozen with fear Are we Gods to say? We carry on In this world alone we can't Die! Rise up and take control Of this world or the death toll? Break in half your heart of steel Use it as a blade, let them feel The rage, the madness deep within Humans are weapons, your Gods can't win Omniscient fools cannot rule! ~CHORUS~ Draw the line Don't question why Who are you To question God? Power brings Insanity Lunacy And reckoning! We've trusted it, trusted too much A murderer's own tender touch We've given it, given too much The Legends of Ignorance! ~CHORUS~ Wait by me Trust me please You have the power to question God! Power brings Demented things Sickening With murderous fangs! We've trusted it, trusted too much A genocide's own tender touch We've given it, given too much Us Legends of Ignorance! The Legends of Ignorance...

~VERSE~ Will you take me? Reach out to save me? Or will you watch me? You know I'm not guilty Death clouds my eye Killing from your lie Forgotten we all die Saviours question why ~CHORUS~ Feel my rage out of control Used, abused, blindly kill all Here me now as I scream; Damnati! Damnation! Yet you say this is a war? Where are you? Do you want more? Hear me now as I scream; Damnati! Damnation! ~VERSE Suddenly Realise I can't win My hands tainted with sin Hell is now my twin We are your faithful servants Send us to hell and back again ~CHORUS~ Feel like someone's watching you? Feel like it's someone you knew? Pull the trigger, die at last; But is that not the past? Modern day does not have this Where was justice? Was a myth Guilty of nothing but A way that life used to flow Did you listen, did you know? How we vanquished our lost foes? Do you remember the Lives given to let you breathe Cry in vain, your race was spoiled Lesson learnt, we won't be foiled Surely in life today... But no! Damnati's not underground! Damnati is still around! Hear me now as I scream; Damnati! Damnation! As I fall upon the floor, Damnati lives evermore, Hear me now as I scream out! Damnati! Damnation!

The Unbeliever 06:50
lyrics

~INTRO~ Protect us oh mighty one You've divided your earthly sons Your words burnt black by fear I know our time draws near We raised with our minds To conquer, twist and hypnotise Built up from words of peace and light I'll strike you down by God's might! ~THE SCREAM~ YEAH!! ~VERSE~ Spreading bigotry, pray for brutality; Kill for your God! Justifying war, praying for your heart's love Paint red the sands! Victories glorified, evil rise to find Hatred's incarnate! Masses unified, kept in a single mind Shepard or wolf! ~PRE-CHORUS~ Hatred in the name of love War in the name of peace Oppression in the name of freedom Segregate our equal lives ~CHORUS~ In this world, we don't compromise I'm alone seeing through your disguise Use our guide, use him for you Unbeliever's watching what you do ~VERSE~ Calling judgement down, crush all the war we found Man's mind as stone Now we are afraid, whoever rests eternally Back and then alone ~PRE-CHORUS~ Whoa-oa, whoa-oa, whoa-oa, whoa-oa Killing in the name of life! ~CHORUS~ In this world, we don't compromise I'm alone seeing through your disguise Use our guide, use him for you Unbeliever's watching what you do ~CHORUS~ In this world, we don't compromise I'm alone seeing through your disguise Use our guide, use him for you Unbeliever's watching what you do
