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

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

(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
6.
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?
7.
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
8.
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
10.
(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
