Holy War 03:08
[CHORUS] Warriors destine for glory fight Until the end of time Demons riding on dismal clouds Take to the Sky [VERSE 1] I watched the blood moon arise in the sky I saw a blinding light Heaven tore the veil It’s the end of time Now our worlds will collide Heaven cannot fail [BRIDGE 1] I will avoid the wretched ones Fear the fall I will hide beyond the shadows For Death is Here [VERSE] The prophecy was disguised as a tale I now feel alive Death is on my side Hear the clash in the sky Blood reigns down, we divide I must choose my side [BRIDGE 2] As they rise from the ashes I hear them scream (Kill the King) Hear the demons cries Reign down (Kill the King) Watch the devil’s eyes Bleed through (Kill the King) Raise my sword and shield Prepare (Kill the King) Crush their battle cry They’ll die (Kill the King) [CHORUS] Warriors destine for glory fight Until the end of time Demons riding on dismal clouds Take to the Sky

Isolation 03:31
[CHORUS] We all live We all will die Fighting till the end To pretend it’s alright Running from the light We are the ones who will not despair [VERSE 1] Echoes lost in the fray Lies fed to delay Leech the life till there’s nothing left We are the loneliest ones (the loneliest ones) [BRIDGE 1] Go We are rotting from the sun We bow to the dead We are already gone Now We are rotting from the sun Embracing one for all We’re already dead [CHORUS] We all live We all will die Fighting till the end To pretend it’s alright Running from the light We are the ones who will not despair [VERSE 2] Echoes lost in the fray Lies fed to delay Leech the life till there’s nothing left We are the loneliest ones (the loneliest ones) [CHORUS] We all live We all will die Fighting till the end To pretend it’s alright Running from the light We are the ones who will not despair

[INTRO] Bow Down [VERSE 1] We’re falling from the light Following the dreamers We’re feeling from inside Freed from the seeming The eye has never seen What does it gain The ear has never heard Will it ever suffice [PRE CHORUS] Generations come and generations go But the earth remains forever [CHORUS] And I, I’ve seen it all before Explored the wisdom Look how we’ve increased our sorrows All under the sun [POST CHORUS] Oh how little we understand Wisdom brings sorrow [BRIDGE 2] All streams flow to the see Repeating the cycle The wind blows to the south And turns to the north Round and round it goes What does it change I looked into myself What can we create [PRE CHORUS] Generations come and generations go But the earth remains forever [CHORUS] And I, I’ve seen it all before Explored the wisdom Look how we’ve increased our sorrows All under the sun [BRIDGE] We run away To hide our desires We run from the light We’re dreaming awake... [PRE-CH3} Now go And lay your burdens down What’s left to gain As we toil under the sun The fool And the wisest ones They stumble in darkness Withered they gravel at the throne [CHORUS] And I, I’ve seen it all before Explored the wisdom Look how we’ve increased our sorrows All under the sun [OUTRO] Applied my mind Look how we’re chasing the wind All under the sun All under the sun

Retribution 04:38
[VERSE 1] Curse the day I was born That I may find rest Hear my cry As the darkness swallows me whole The night settles in Across this barren land Oh darkness devour Release me before it began [CHORUS] Why is the light given to those in misery And to the life of the bitter soul If only my anguish could be weighed It would surpass the sands of the sea [POST CHORUS] Now black it out Erase me Pull me down to the edge of the sea [VERSE 2] Bracing for the end I’ll take it in your hands I feel them now Eyes of the flesh do you see As a mortal sees Across these ancient skies The shadow devours would you pull me over the edge [CHORUS] Why is the light given to those in misery And to the life of the bitter soul If only my anguish could be weighed It would surpass the sands of the sea [LoFi] The sea [BRIDGE] Devour me within The roots of this earth Now don’t You run from me I built this shallow grave for you My suffering (my suffering) Is this how it ends [LAST CHORUS] Why is the light given to those in misery And to the life of the bitter soul - Aaron hold this out longer than Josh If only my anguish could be weighed It would surpass the sands of the sea

[INTRO] You, you took this life And let it fall Instead of change, you now have lost it all You let yourself die The heavens start to cry They are here To take you away [CHORUS] The demons arise They fly from the shadows Of hell to dine Because your life is just withering away Now it's time To pay the ultimate consequence for your crimes Your unjust filth just now fades away You've taken more than you can repay Your death now delayed [VERSE] Pain suffering eternity Are these the words you want to hear (oh) [CHORUS] The demons arise They fly from the shadows Of hell to dine Because your life is just withering away Now it's time To pay the ultimate consequence for your crimes Your unjust filth just now fades away You've taken more than you can repay Your death now delayed [BRIDGE] Hell hounds, shadows in the night All you see, red eyes so bright You can try to run, you can try to hide You can't escape what's not alive The chill creeps down your spine As fangs rip through your lies They drag you down to where they dwell Their keeper awaits, the ruler of hell. Their keeper awaits, past the burning gates Their keeper awaits, where you forever dwell [CHORUS] The demons arise They fly from the shadows Of hell to dine Because your life is just withering away Now it's time To pay the ultimate consequence for your crimes Your unjust filth just now fades away You've taken more than you can repay Your death now delayed

The Fallen 04:10
[VERSE 1] Darkened by that moment You tried to hide from the shadows Crawling, lurking, seeking You are the fallen one We all are one We are the ones who tried to Realize, divide Repent before the end [PRE CHORUS] Tell me what of your life It is a mist that appears for awhile A fleeting shadow That does not endure [CHORUS] Time it takes us all For we are lost and confused Wandering the halls of eternity Following the dreams of a lost reality [CHORUS] Time it takes us all For we are lost and confused Wandering the halls of eternity Following the dreams of a lost reality

Ivory Tower 04:41
[VERSE 1] The day comes to an end Tonight will bring the shroud The flames will arise The war has just begun It erupts in the night They’ve broken through the walls The’ll leave non alive Fallback to survive [PRE-CH1] To survive There’s no honor here Amongst the thieves of the night [CHORUS] There’s only one left to blame They’re hiding in disguise And orchestrate the strings of fate [VERSE 2] The smoke fills up the room Asphyxiates the life Constrained to a tomb There’s no one left alive Chaos reigns supreme They’ve broken through the walls Peace cannot be found Death is all around [BRIDGE 2] Seed fear The crown is out of control (2x) Pray for absolution The raven swallows the dragon whole [VERSE 3] As hatred fills the air Deception runs abound They’re stricken with despair They’re hiding from the sound The streams run thick with blood Abandoned, left to die Reveals to evil tide Eradicates their cries [PRE-CH2] Their cries (their cries) There’s no honor here Amongst the thieves of the night [CHORUS] There’s only one left to blame They’re hiding in disguise And orchestrate the strings of fate [OUTRO] There the only ones left to blame They’re hiding in disguise And orchestrate the strings of fate There the only ones left to blame There running away from
