1.	Harrowed 04:27	lyrics
On harrowed earth we stand Born from the lives of our enemies Betrayal of a witch queen and the blood shed in her name Outcast from my own land with the guilty memories of war Murder is all I know and the blades entrenched in the grain As my pain rises I’ll never take you again Someone stands outside of darkness and calls my name For this redemption it holds and it screams to me Death is our saviour it follows our disbelief Will my name live on Or can it become a weapon Terror from the mouths of the innocent And the rage of another kahn The sway of a night and day The curse of a demon blade Left dead to rights in my life No one ever thought I could die As my pain rises I’ll never take you again Someone stands outside of darkness and calls my name For this redemption it holds and it screams to me Death is our saviour it follows our disbelief Somewhere deep inside my mind Someone creeps into my soul Left for dead as darkness calls Blood rain on the killing fields The white wolf of an unknown cause Stalks shadows of these walls Stalks shadows of these walls As my pain rises I’ll never take you again Someone stands outside of darkness and calls my name For this redemption it holds and it screams to me Death is our saviour it follows our disbelief
2.	The Fall 04:14	lyrics
Nine stories coming to me Everyone one is true at namesake Rage resides inside us all But we let it fade and we watch it fall away Until rejection comes to see me With the same old hurt I’ve come to take Nothing left behind this mask But the pride that resides inside all of us Yet when it comes to blows And everything comes crashing down So little feels this way This is not me, this is not my truth My dreams come with a ball and chain Tied to the little hope I have And so we deny Ten seconds left inside me Countdown to the end I heard you say Shame hides inside us all But we lock it deep and we throw away the key And so rejection comes to be me With the sense of hurt you give and take Nothing left inside this husk But the fight that resides inside all of us Yet when it comes to blows And everything comes crashing down So little feels this way This is not me, this is not my truth My dreams come with a ball and chain Tied to the little hope I have And so we deny My memories are holding Until the end Lifetimes of nothing Binding me in Back to the edges where I can breathe I don't remember What would it take Nine stories coming to me Everyone one is true at namesake Rage resides inside us all But we let it fade and we watch it fall away Until rejection comes to see me With the same old hurt I’ve come to take Nothing left behind this mask But the pride that resides inside all of us Yet when it comes to blows And everything comes crashing down So little feels this way This is not me, this is not my truth My dreams come with a ball and chain Tied to the little hope I have And so we deny
3.	Fracture 03:11	lyrics
It's been so many years Since I let go I hold it And I breath in It haunts me Like I do you It holds me Like I do you I get dragged back To my old ways I let go So I can taste it It hides me Like I do you Come on and save me Like I do you Somewhere on the edge of truth And I'll never truly be alright Bound by all the words they say I'll never really be ok. I may be going mad Or maybe seeing straight It’s hard to find the world For all the acid rain But I’ll count to ten While I hold my breath We open up the jaws And take the final test Somewhere on the edge truth And I'll never really be alright Bound by all the words they say I'll never really be ok. Somewhere on the edge of truth Bound by all the words they say I'll never really be alright I'll never really be ok
4.	Exile 03:44	lyrics
When I fall to madness For I self medicate Wont you ever resurrect the dreams of servitude A falling star of insurrection and your reason leave me now or I will take away the only hope you ever had to make it through Hold tight through my imagination Crawl through the mud of resilience Let pain reside inside their saviour Take no life burn it with my soul You can hope for darkness Or pray the soul to take Cant you ever See the stories for the lies they are a calling to the fold that binds you to the other side Leave the world Or it will call you to forever more and bind you to the life before Hold tight through my imagination Crawl through the mud of resilience Let pain reside inside their saviour Take no life burn it with my soul Become this And I see you Become this And I hate you Become this And I see you Hold tight through my imagination Crawl through the mud of resilience Let pain reside inside their saviour Take no life burn it with my soul
5.	Tension 04:13	lyrics
Bleeding out into the floor boards You masquerade as a whore Left my heart as an open wound Now it lay next to yours Your essence ____ It surrounds me Your blood ____ It consumes Her eyes the colour of death now She lies in darkest silence Couldn’t understand the colours Thread-bare the mask you wore Let my eyes sink into you, now it’s never you no more You cower ____ It enthrals me You scream ____ And I believe Her eyes the colour of death now She lies in darkest silence Give in to futility Give in to the rush now Let me reach inside your soul Let me taste your __ Hush Her eyes the colour of death now She lies in darkest silence Her eyes the colour of death now They see right through me
6.	Siren 03:26	lyrics
Born into a world at war Born into a nuclear winter A child comes to change it all Bring the name of a cipher saviour Chaos reigned above it all Time before the reckoning Down to the few that’s left A cold day in hell came Left in a world moved on Left in the after days They fight to save it all Fulfil the dream told prophecy Plagued by the lies of old Told before the end of days Down with the tyranny A cold day in hell came And I said What I’d walk away with And I wait for you In the dust of mans last stand Torn from the world before The child to bring the name She walks among the fold And holds true to the tale told Blind yet she sees it all A new time of reckoning Down to the one that’s left A cold day on Earth came And I said What I’d walk away with And I wait for you In the dust of mans last stand And I said What I’d walk away with And I wait for you In the dust of mans last stand Now there’s nothing left in me As I watch the world drift by And I wait for you In the dust of mans last stand
7.	Absence 03:48	lyrics
Dawn came And they all rose again Walking nightmares In an endless dream The driving hunger And soulless eyes of death I waited so long I shot my wife today Running From whatever called Bathed in silence Take shelter from the hordes When the worst has come true and there’s nothing in you Can I survive the test as I lay you to rest. Light fades On another day Hiding in hollows From this slow decay I walk a mile to see Another empty street It’s been so long I lost my mind today Running From whatever called Bathed in silence Take shelter from the hordes When the worst has come true and there’s nothing in you Can I survive the test as I lay you to rest. The end comes I wanna wash away All this mud and ash I feel it take control Something shifts in me And I see her face so clear It was all a lie I killed my wife today Running From whatever called Bathed in silence Take shelter from the hordes Running From whatever called Bathed in silence Take shelter from the hordes
8.	Reaver 02:39	lyrics
I'd never amount to anything You'd never let me be I’d never stand for anything that's what you saw in me I fight to live on my own again trying to make you see taught every lesson with blood and stone so I bite the hand that feeds I couldn’t account for your suffering And all your hopeless dreams Skimming the surface of everything Your cuts where never deep Stranded without your trickery I'd always hoped you'd see All of your lies just circumvent The flaws of thoughtless creed My ascension above it all you'll see For I discovered A miscreation born from a demon seed born to suffer one choice I’ll never make this life I’ll never see when never comes again he’ll take away what’s not be Now what’s left Now you’ll see when It takes the things you never thought you’d seek When’s never left to see beyond the blood sky dream This pain I cannot take I will not become all your fate My ascension above it all you'll see For I discovered A miscreation born from a demon seed born to suffer our – lords – dark – seed stain – in – my – belief
9.	Funland 04:32	lyrics
Get ready for the execution Get in line yeah and watch the show Pay the price for your life’s admission Welcome to the carnival of souls Whatya say sir How do you do Yes of course ma’am Go right on through Little children lined up in rows They’re here to watch the show With their mothers and their fathers Now we’ll never let you go Step into the dark pavilion Find a seat, there’s always room Listen for the organ screaming The lovely sounds you’ll come to know Whatya say sir How do you do Yes of course ma’am Go right on through Little children lined up in rows They’re here to watch the show With their mothers and their fathers Now we’ll never let you go Whatya say sir How do you do Yes of course ma’am Go right on through Welcome to your absolution Step right in enjoy the show Tonight it's the carnival And here we deal in souls Whatya say sir How do you do Yes of course ma’am Go right on through Little children lined up in rows They’re here to watch the show With their mothers and their fathers Now we’ll never let you go
10.	Set In Stone 05:59	lyrics
Now I see the faces of my reflection Staring back from a darkness inside of me Bound by laws set deep in majority I rebel against the old, set in stone What’s on the line When your courage fails and your morals fall With so many blind Can you ever see what this truly means Somewhere behind a wall of obscurity Bound by words, white coats and authority Someone screams for their life under lock and key As you conform to the old, set in stone What’s on the line When your courage fails and your morals fall With so many blind Can you ever see what this truly means From this side of the road I wanna see I wanna see what's inside now From the lesson you learn I wanna Know I wanna Know what's inside now with the choices you make never fall never fall back to apathy When the essence is true Never take Never take what’s for granted What’s on the line When your courage fails and your morals fall With so many blind Can you ever see what this truly means
