Fallen Paradise
04:29
|
|||
Sickness is spreading
out from the sea
A curse from the sun
abandoning me
I know, forevermore
The scream from the south
Denies me my cure
(Chorus)
Follow the ice from the north
The raging, the pure
The sad, and obscure
Join in celestial fight
Its not wrong its not right
Its fallen paradise
Follow the ghost from the past
The fearless will last
In time all will pass
Join in eternities fight
The future is blight
In fallen paradise
Make your way across the sea
Find the specter of you and me
(Chorus)
Time falls into the dark
Turning it all, into a spark
The land slams into the sea
There you’ll find eternity
Two lines against the sky
This marks fallen paradise

The Demon Within
03:47
|
|||
Can’t you hear it?
Can’t you see it?
The angel of death, has finally come
In darkest shroud
In coldest night
He manifests into your very mind
His cold embrace
Your bitter life
He claws his way through from the inside
You fight him off
But he comes back
This creature cloaks your life in black
(Chorus)
And on this hellish night
Set the demon alight
You’ll fight him off like before
You know he’ll always come back for more
In pale moonlight
He’s back tonight
He bores in your mind and soul once more
You try to escape
You’re trying in vain
He walks in your mind like an open door
You try to scream
Your mind, it bleeds
He’s gripping you deep in your very core
This demon kills
Does what he wills
Abusing your mind while he wages his war
(Chorus)
…You know he always comes back for his whore
(Lee Prisby and Dan Sudano Solo)
(Chorus)
…But the cycle goes on evermore

Dream Lock
05:39
|
|||
(Both)
You’ll find me in brainwashed eyes
You’ll find me in my disguise
Death has been calling my name
I’ve never been one to pray
Up through this tower I go
Ascending these stairs, my goal
My master waits for me
My life is the only key
(Trent)
Fighting my way deep inside
The secrets cannot be denied
The only word that I keep
Is my own lost prophecy
I’m fighting darkness with my mind
They took your soul and made you blind
The gods have secrets that they keep
I’ll pledge my life, I’ll turn the key
(Adam)
The forces that made up your life
Have left you here out of sight
Pledge your fealty to me
I’ll make you a god, you’ll be set free
(Trent)
The powers that have come to me
I’ll break their lives, I’ll set them free
For the sins they have endured
They’ll be damned, there is no cure
(Adam)
Lock their dreams, seal them tight
For this they must be denied
False god will invade their dreams
His death is a necessity
(Trent)
Life’s a curse, life’s unfair
The plaything of some puppeteer
I’ll cut the strings, I’ll free my kind
For this I cannot be denied
(Both)
You’ll find me in brainwashed eyes
You’ll find me at his demise
Death has been calling my name
My life will not be in vain
At the top of the tower I stand
Achieved my goal, my plan
Fighting below, I see
The road to my destiny
Killing their false god will free
My people will rise, be set free
Their sad existence will end
By my hand, they’ll rise again
I’ll stand above and see
The servants of my destiny
Dream lock will force him out
He will be left with no doubt
Through the forest I’ve run
Through my sins I’ve won
Dream lock was the key
They’ll all see what I see

Nothing to Undo
04:25
|
|||
(Scott)
Crossed, we have lost
They gave their lives, at what cost?
This whirling void of self-destruction is real
This game they claim
Will bring you fortune, luck, and fame
They bathe in gold while smoke rises from the flames
Deceived for their greed
The ones we picked, we chose to lead
They rule on high while the mud flows from our veins
Rebel, the bell
Tolls at twelve for them as well
This tragic fate, no none can escape it now
(Bridge)
I turn back time
I can’t vie
Life’s no rhyme
Can we turn back time?
Crossed, they have lost
We gave our lives that was the cost
We freed ourselves from their destructive reign
But now, our leaders fail
Greed corrupting them as well
Man’s greatest flaw will always be himself
(Cody)
And as they stand on high
Looking down upon the tattered masses
Drowning in the sins of those who swore to protect
They'll see this all, and they'll still truly believe
That their words are divine and there’s nothing to undo
(Scott)
There’s nothing to undo
No, no one’s coming now
Doomed, doomed until the end
For all, for all eternity
No, nothing to undo
Nothing to undo

Into Unknown Lands
04:16
|
|||
Soon the dawn
Will show that you’re gone
How will light come and find you now?
Along the path I’ve walked
Through misery I’ve fought
If life is real, how do I turn the wheel?
From this life of fear and hate, I wander
On this road I walk I’m free to wonder
Where I’ll find my peace of mind
I need to feel what this life conceals from my mind
(Chorus)
So ride, into unknown lands
Leave behind, those lost by fortune’s hand
In time, you’ll return once again
But tonight, you’ll ride into unknown lands
From this life of hate and fear, I wander
On this road I walk I’m free to wonder
Where your death will take me
But I still see, your face always there in front of me
(Chorus)
(Stephen Cline Solo)
When the dawn
Showed me, you were gone
There was no one to hear my vow
Through the path I walked
Through misery I fought
If time is real, how do I turn the wheel?

Fight the Divine
06:46
|
|||
For life I’ll try
To fight the divine
Soon I will know
What it’s cost my soul
So many have died
For his foolish lies
They’ll brainwash us all
And they’ll be standing at the fall
They’ll never make me crawl
I can’t pay the toll
But I will offer you my soul
Give me power to be free
In madness, I believe
The land softly weeps
I can feel it underneath
I’ll take my place with the damned
They’ll be power in my hands
Step through the dark
Greed takes over my heart
Flying underneath the sun
I cast doom on everyone
(Chorus)
So come, take your place by my side
We’ll tread on through the night
In everlasting peace
Your minds will be set free
Oh god can you hear my cries?
You better hear me tonight
Come down from your throne
I will make you my own
My rage burns in me
So bright that I can’t sleep
Rising with the evening star
They’ll pay for every scar
This curse placed on me
Allowed me to be free
Let me show you harmony
Let me show you victory
(Chorus)
(Jimmy Pitts Solo)
The man I failed to be
He is dead, he’s now released
Darkness consumed his heart
His soul, torn apart
From his life I rise
A man without fear or pride
From his pain I become
The savior of everyone
(Chorus)
Preachers words run hollow and dry
We’ll rise up to the fight
And traitors we’ll all be
Our minds will be set free
Oh god can you hear my cries?
You better hear me tonight
Now come down from your throne
And face the one you disowned

Fortune's Hand
07:36
|
|||
The winds breathe life into me
They speak and tell me of my crimes
The night will soon wash over
I see, I must now stand in line
(Chorus)
And at the crossroads I stand
Ready for death by Fortune’s hand
My shadow was lost along the way
I face my fate on judgement day…
Dust settles on cursed ground
Is this really the answer at all
The angels will never see me
Am I deaf to their calls?
(Chorus)
…Surrounded by rings of white
I gaze into the moonlight
Condemned for eternity
I pray my soul will be set free…
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
…Still I see all my crimes
With dawn comes my last flight
The fate that I embrace this day
Will wash all of my sins away

Of Life
03:45
|
|||
Now I know that innocence is no more
Greed and corruption closed that door
To deaf ears, our warnings raced
Time will decide and choose our fate
Of life, I need to know will our plans see the end?
Time will follow in our demise
(Chorus)
I can see, I can be
And I know, that life will follow
Time can’t tell, don’t be afraid
Of a serenade if it all ends anyhow
Of life, of life, I know
Its all lies, all lies, I am your promised land
Run, its too late now, the light has failed
And dark has shroud this once proud land
And I won’t preach, but I can see
That fate has dealt its cruelest hand
Of life, I need to know will our plans see the end?
Drown in sorrow with our demise
(Stephen Cline Solo)
(Chorus)
I can see, I can be
But I know, that life will follow
Time won’t tell, so be afraid
Of a serenade, cause’ life ends right
Life ends right, life ends right now

Traitor in Disguise
06:25
|
|||
(Trent)
They call me Traitor in Disguise
Wait for me, I can’t find my way out
And I only see disease before me
Why did they mark me? How dare they call me
This time the void will never shut
Now I stand alone, cast before their hearts of stone
To see death before me
When I don’t make it, I’ll sink into the pit
And find the prize they sold me for
Time flies and still I see
The same illusions in front of me
Find out the secrets that they hold
(Adam)
Seek the tomb to find the one
Who defies the oldest and wise
Then seek the rhyme, twisted in hate
Defy the sky, and release me
(Trent)
I’ll find him, the one who told the lies
The fool of his own kind
Left me for dead and made me Traitor in Disguise
(Adam)
Find the one, who took my face
And gave me the fool’s old name
You will assassinate forlorn god
Who took my fate
(Trent)
Time flies and still I roam the sea
The life I had to flee
I will search on until I find my prize
