The Voyage 11:28
Yearn for knowledge and self-discovery The rights and wrongs in mankind's history Learn from your past and the struggles you have faced Enrich your mind with all the knowledge you will gain Clear the mist that clouds your mind Ignore distractions and you will thrive Pursue your final destination Climb the mountain to reach the top Don't look down, no second thoughts Persevere, it is the key to your salvation Longing for purpose on this cruel and violent earth Contribute, for whatever it is worth Reflect your actions and learn from your mistakes Clear the mist that clouds your mind Ignore distractions and you will thrive Pursue your final destination Climb the mountain to reach the top Don't look down, no second thoughts Persevere, it is the key to your salvation Your inner voyage has now begun - learnings and lessons of our lives Take a breath and fill your head - with knowledge you will find Find inspiration in distant lands - ancient cultures and history This voyage will set you free Learnings and findings have shown me the truth Desolation all over mother earth Our leaders who show us the way, feed us lies which ensure our decay Pursued acceptance in our perfect society The sheep in the herd who've formed our history Take control of your life, and look beyond the lies Help us to survive mankind Disparity inherited by birth Blamed for evil from another world Our whole existence defined by violence Will we ever live in true peace? Pursued acceptance in our perfect society The sheep in the herd who've formed our history Take control of your life, and look beyond the lies Help us to survive mankind Look through the brainwashed minds take control of your life! Learnings and findings have shown you the truth Desolation all over our world Our leaders who should show us the way, they feed us lies which ensure our decay Take control of your life and look beyond the lies Help us to survive mankind Look through the brainwashed minds take control of your life!

On the outset of climbing to great heights, he shined his light to lead the way was the one to incite Controls set to reach for the stars, it seemed to be with ease He spoke of commitment, success was guaranteed Feeling jaded and betrayed All we worked for down the drain He disappeared without a trace, in the blink of an eye Left us hopeless in the maze, promised merits were a lie We thought it would last forever, until death do us part Left with worthless luggage, have to go back to the start Feeling jaded and betrayed All we worked for down the drain When times get tough who is prepared, to keep hopes high, to fight and die Sometimes a hand is reaching out to help you find the way Will you board the ship that may lead you astray? It may draw you to the depths of the unknown take the chance If I am alone, I will not postpone Hence it will begin; journey through the labyrinth Drawn towards the dark, what no man has seen before Fabled voyage to restore what is now unsure Feeling jaded and betrayed All we worked for down the drain When times get tough who is prepared, to keep hopes high, to fight and die Sometimes a hand is reaching out to help you find the way Will you board the ship that may lead you astray? It may draw you to the depths of the unknown take the chance! Before it's too late! Sometimes a hand is reaching out to help you find the way Will you board the ship that may lead you astray? It may draw you to the depths of the unknown take the chance!

Salvation 06:57
Harvest the crops of summer's earth Toil and collect, it can be yours work now play later Take control of your fate Start right now, do not delay Take control Hard work will be rewarded Beyond the crimson skyline, salvation will be revealed And with summer's end all dreams should be fulfilled They offer a bright future A future with opportunity and independence In return, they demand absolute loyalty No questions asked, no quarter given Many hardships are endured, much peril is accepted for the promise of a better future The years go by without any sign of improvement Perhaps tomorrow It is not what you had hoped Yet all peril you have coped Prospects only of despair Take a stand, if you dare If you are down with the pain No need to refrain Spread your wings and fly away I endured the pain, yet everything stayed the same When will I be saved, no longer be enslaved? Can we make a stand, fight to amend? Will our lives improve? When the ice has melted and the sun begins to appear Something long forgotten now is coming near Can we predict what is coming and dare we take the bound? Once the step is taken there is no return Face the consequences you might get burned Can we predict what is coming and dare we take the bound? Will changes bring improvement or run aground? Harvest the crops of summer's earth Toil and collect, it can be yours

Heresy 06:07
Freedom of thought was denied The only God, there is no choice Behold the crowd, judgemental The lack of faith must come from hell! The love of Christ, betrayal! Seduction's come, testing faith The solution lies in fire Accept your God or burn in flames! Before your saviour you'll see there is no escaping In the eternal flames of fire you will burn! This life has brought me to my knees before your god Why won't you accept what others think and believe? Do you think that hate gives you access to Heaven? Or will it send you straight to hell My life is fading Is there an answer? The flames are rising Have I deserved this? The end is nearing Is there a Heaven? or have I truly betrayed my true saviour? This life has brought me to my knees before your god Why won't you accept what others think and believe? Do you think that hate gives you access to Heaven? Or will it send you straight to hell No way in hell, surrender?! No giving up my beliefs Before the end of this soul The heresy lies in you! The end has come for me, and you will pay for this Is this for the love of god or will you burn in Hell?!

Nameless 04:02
Raindrops falling a voice cries out in vain without warning he calls out her name Pools of sorrow a crimson sea A horrifying view it's haunting me The crows have gathered in silence Drawn by the sound of sirens Will I ever be the same? And I don't even know your name Teardrops falling Soothing words to ease the pain Cell phones watching as death calls her name Her fate is sealed it's clear from the start Namelessly you've pierced my heart The crows have gathered in silence Drawn by the sound of sirens Will I ever be the same? And I don't even know your name An open wound that does not bleed Left a scar that can’t be seen. Grieving for the nameless pain that I feel. I'll continue life with torment I conceal. The crows have gathered in silence Drawn by the sound of sirens Will I ever be the same? And I don't even know your name

Take your time to say goodbye to all the people you will leave behind, because tomorrow we will ride to fight side by side And you may never see your friends and family again Oh, may the Valkyries ride to fight along their side Remember those that fall Their names will echo through the halls I am getting restless for battle draws nigh The enemy is upon us and we are about to die Come my friends, say your prayers, I bid thee farewell I feel the end approaching, tonight we dine in hell Oh, may the Valkyries ride to fight along their side Remember those that fall Their names will echo through the halls Fortify and learn to take a life Cauterise in order to survive Aim to be the perfect war machine Cold as ice, acting on routine The war is over and I managed to survive But I cannot go back to an ordinary life The terror is certain to return, I will surely die So I will prepare for future fights, the enemy shall be terrified and petrified and horrified and mortified Fortify and learn to take a life Cauterise in order to survive Aim to be the perfect war machine Cold as ice, acting on routine “II. Malignancy” Acting like a tidal wave Clearing the path, nothing stands in the way Don't forget that it will never fade Eternal flame will warm my hands and scorch the land No remorse, an eye for an eye Retaliate, I am the beast you created And don't forget that it will never fade Eternal flame will warm my hands and scorch the land The perfect war machine, mercy nor compassion Trained to kill, emotions left behind Always the victor, no signs of regression Trained to kill, destroyer of mankind “III. Transition” Looking back what do you see? Are you proud of the trail of death left behind? The pieces of the puzzle are scattered all throughout Reach inward, search for answers and turn the inside out The journey will be grievous, there may be no return Take out the splinters, grief cannot be adjourned Looking back what do you see? Are you proud of the trail of death left behind? The perfect war machine; useless now Cold breath cannot give life All struggle in spite, it grew beyond control There is no turning back, this cancer devours the soul We can acquire but not soon forget Damage that has been done cannot be reset Looking back what do you see? Are you proud of the trail of death left behind? The perfect war machine; useless now Cold breath cannot give life Fortified and learned to take a life Cauterised in order to survive Aimed to be the perfect war machine Cold as ice, acting on routine
