1. Rise Again

 

The Lady of fortune, a fortune of lies

Pierces the heart, inducing demise

Succubus creature, beguiling affection

Toy with your thoughts, swells the infection

 

Prechorus:

Refuse to perish, to a hunterless prey

Retreat and fight, another day

 

Chorus:

Rise again, the world's in defeat

Fall again, nowhere to retreat

Strive again, triumph unforeseen

Rise again, destroy her machine

 

Twisted tales, told of disaster

Future's foreseen, slave to the master

Freedom of will, tilting the powers

The end has arrived, at zero hour

 

2. Murder on Contract

 

A lady in black, cold retribution

The chapter's begun, seeking restitution

In the shadows, all pulses on high

Gotta make it fast, cause the job's on the line

 

Prechorus:

Won't relent, till the target's felled

Her aspiration, is to see you in hell

Assassin, butcher, murder on contract

Dagger, saber, provisions for attack

 

Chorus:

How do you, face her in the dark

When she is so hard to find

Is she right, behind you now?

Or is she just a myth inside your mind?

 

One hit, one mark, such a lucrative trade

Sink it deep, another notch on the blade

Blood on the knife, objective's complete

Pack up, get out, and call for the priest

 

3. Age of Ashes

 

Born in submission, under the regime

Young left with shattered, remains of a dream

Big brother's watch guard, not freedom sustained

Disenchanted lineage, the future waits in vain, again

 

Read from the new truth, just rewritten lies

To question equals certain death, same face, new disguise

The skilled no place to grow, the sewer no seeds to sew

The artifacts are staled, by the status quo

No one said it'd be like this!

 

Chorus:

Sold out, you know we're down on a future

Been downsized by the counterculture

No hope, 'cause there's nothing for you

The age of ashes, balance overdue

 

Sold to authority, driven by profit and greed

They'll sell what you really want, save for what you need

Equality under law, won't come for those who can't pay

You can't own paradise, your government gave it away

You ain't gonna get too far!

Chorus:

Sold out, you know we're down on a future

Been downsized by the counterculture

No hope, 'cause there's nothing for you

The age of ashes, balance overdue

"Stay in school for a great career"

Was subterfuge, nothing appeared

Born you are, in the machine

The age of ashes, promise unseen

 

Fed remains of utopia!

 

4. Dreams of Madness

 

Awakened by nightmares, the fates in your head

Where lucidity once tread

Asking the mentor, but what does he know?

The answers to questions lie six feet below

 

Pre Chorus:

Echo their solemn cries

That chars the shadow inside

 

Chorus:

The dreams of madness, take hold of your life

Your sanity, they'll crucify

The dreams of madness, control and terrorize

The limits of reason, are paralyzed

 

On the horizon, storms in the midst

All here are destined to suffer

The eyes of deception, and the teeth of their lies

It's not just a dream anymore

 

5. Through the Mirror

 

Seems there’s some commotion, starting in town

Wild run emotions, as their blood coats the ground

No innocent are spared, caught in the crossfire

Papers call it a “surge”, and send it on the wire

 

Chorus:

Looking through the mirror, of lies and illusion

The story sold, blurred with delusion

Looking through the mirror, society disintegrates

New Rome has had its run, liberty eviscerates

 

Distortions of the truth, for an illegal war

No pittance for the lost, lives of the poor

No cost too small, just ignore the flood

When the price of oil, is the price of blood

 

Appointed misleaders, empire's formation

Who fix the law, purchased legislation

Gone are the days, of envisioned democracy

Welcome to the land, of the American theocracy

 

6. In The Night

 

Searching the land, far and wide

Unaffected action, seems so trite

Protected by his camouflage

And hidden from all sight

Taking the orders on command

Give the wicked their last rites

Impassive of this vain act

He has a fascist in his sights

 

Prechorus:

Place your finger, on the trigger

Tonight you take, another life

In your crosshairs, stalks your prey

Deadly sharpness in the night

 

Chorus:

Lock! Load! Fight!

In the night

 

Track a target, squeeze the trigger

Another number added to the score

On the ambush, a silent killer

Ever searching to add one more

Under fire, a lethal game

We've got to hold on and survive

Entrusted with a nation's freedom

Outwit and come out alive

 

7. A Prayer Away

 

Hail Mary, full of Grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God
Pray for us sinners, now
And at the hour of death.

...Amen

 

8. Infidel

 

I've said my prayers, for my penance I prepare

Salvation, is a prayer away

 

Prechorus:

A new crusade, on ancient sand

Kill to possess, the Promised Land

Martyr or murder, sustaining death

Those who sacrifice, will be blessed

 

Advance the doctrine, raised to hate

God deliver us, from those who speak in his name

 

Prechorus:

Interpretation, of his will

His divine plan, must be fulfilled

Religion or cult, the nation's dissolved

Slaughter for us, you'll be absolved

 

Chorus:

We lay down our lives, in the name of god

Cleanse our holy land, kill the heathen dogs.

Blind devoted will, ignorant desperate faith

Will time remember them, as insurgent or a saint?

 

The Gaza crusade, reclaim the holy land

An Inch is gained, more martyrs the for father's hand

 

2000 years of sacred animosity

...Forsaker of the cause

Blur the lines between malice and creed

...Holy scripture is your law

Elder tyranny, dispatcher of rights

...The fear of death impels

Believe in yourself, lead the fight

...I fight the…

Infidel

9. Gods of War

 

Nightmare, breakdown

Hold tight, black knight

Full speed, turn back

Don’t stop, attack

Blind trust, cold steel

Torn flesh, you kneel

Full moon, dark sky

Realize it’s time to die

Gods of war

 

Wake up, bright light

Blood red, white knight

And times, will start

Stand tall, take heart

Shadows, noon sun

Dream state, I can’t run

Young gal, don’t cry

Only one can die

Gods of War

 

Fighting, killing, running, bleeding

He’ll never lose the war

 

Cold ground, death grows

Red field, blood flows

Can’t rest, no time

Wars end, you’re mine

Flames rise, won’t last

Your dreams, long past

I know, your lie

Now it’s time to die

Gods of War

 

10. A Passage of Dawn

 

-Instrumental-

Solo composed by CSP

 

11. The Heretic

 

Come and walk with the man, his evil you'll embrace
Don't listen: he's the devil, he'll rob you of your grace
You cannot find the truth, the inquest of your soul
You won't live to tell, the terrors he controls

Chorus:
The heretic, condemned at dawn
The heretic, just Satan’s pawn


I will spread terror to all, malevolence in my mind
Remorseful vengeance surrounding me, annihilation of their kind
My beliefs are opposed, I know I'm not alone
How can I not question, as a man I am my own
