You stand your ground but what’s to gain
You lead the charge of your own campaign
You raise the flag in the name of doom
You're a mercenary in a lonely room
Deny the truth
Conjure conspiracy for an audience so willing to believe
Repeat the lie
So many times you find an open mind that’s ready for deceit.
chorus:
A war of words
Passes time away
And your ignorance makes you easy prey
Before our eyes
Invited tragedy has grown beyond your means
Just a pawn in another’s game
You cast your fate on me
repeat chorus:
Trial by fire, take hold the flame
With lighted torch you lead the way
Divide and conquer, faithful followers rage
In this hell create your domain
Lead the way

Satan in Starlight

Lost and forgotten
Haunting shadows loom
In the cold moonlight I awaken
Dead but dreaming no longer lie in wait
Return to me in altered state
I will cry out from across this sea of light
Renewal by fire the earth scorched clean
I create the meaning in our designed obsolescence
The visions of light created in dream
Join me my love our song was left unsung
Or return to darkness forever scorned
I was once the promise spoken to you in a dream
I remain elusive, unreal
I was once forgiveness that you couldn’t do without
For my love your suffering will serve meaning
chorus:
Our avenging angels now in ashen wing
The dark abyss stares into my soul
No escape from your lifeless eyes
To serve in heaven or reign in hell
solo
2nd chorus:
Our avenging angels now in ashen wing
The dark abyss stares into my soul
May you suffer no remorse
To serve in heaven or reign in hell
I return to you

Shadows Own
02:51
|
|

Into darkness I escape
Through a starless night I run
Underneath closed eyes
Overseer unseen
Return to you, enter into the dream
chorus:
Power will be revoked taken in cold blood
Redemption takes it's shape
In the shadows above
Dismantled from the shame
Ghosts born of the past
Rising from their depths once silenced by death
Taking back the night is their claim and their right
repeat chorus

Broken Martyr
04:33

|

It hurts, to see
When it all came down on me
All of the nights I was cowering in my shame
The fall, before
Through the eyes that seemed to call
Their cold embrace sent me falling again by your side
chorus:
The light of day
The time that was wasted away
I'm alone again like a martyr betrayed by my pride
I could never let you go
The hours of pain
The void that still remains
Feeling the loss within this moral divide
The power you held kept me longing to be by your side
2nd chorus:
The light of day
The time that was wasted away
I'm alone again like a martyr betrayed by my pride
I had to let you go
Beneath a summer moon
I waited for you
I can barely remember
But it happened too soon
And so it would be
What could be the odds
That it started to rain
Then we tried it again
But it was never the same
And so it shall be
And so it shall be....
And so it shall be...

Phantasmagoria
05:28

Awaken with you beneath the old oak tree
In deaths dream kingdom our eyes finally meet
Lost in the context of creations design
In the illusion that we were ever alive
Come the cold mourning, the ritual of light
Suffering serves me, embrace what is mine
At one with the eternal, lost stars align
Return my rightful place at your side
I look to the moon as she drowns me in earth
Forever in darkness I wait
She sang me her song as I walked through the haze
Enchanted, bewitched and betrayed
Trapped in the paradox and horror of this life
Lost in creations design
Against all nature, her will to survive
In the illusion that we were ever alive
She had my consent as she told me her lies
As I lay on a bed of decay
Asleep but awake as I cry out in vain
Enchanted, bewitched and betrayed

Consequence of Time
10:18
|
|

Always moving forward
By perpetual design
Can't avoid the outcome
Even if we try
chorus:
Youth is wasted on the young
So the elders say
Some will go the distance
While others fade away
An underestimated force
Too powerful to tame
repeat chorus:
solo
repeat chorus:
Time will tell the course we take
Along the way
Along the way
Outside my window
I hear the children play
Their lives have just begun
As mine fades away
Feels so cold
so cold
Return to earth, into ash
By the gardens cold moonlight
The looming shadows would take the life that was mine
The consequence of time
To defy your will and suffer alone
The only way out
I see into the haunting silence
The illusions behind your eyes
Of hopes and dreams all forsaken
Never to be realized
The consequence of time
To escape your eyes that follow in dream
The void of the abyss stares into me
To defy your will and suffer alone
The only way out
Return to earth, into ash
By the gardens cold moonlight
The looming shadows would take the life that was mine
The consequence of time
Suffer the consequence of time

No Escape
03:43
|
|

Cold as the wind
On a dead winter night
I still hear her voice in my head
Eyes like a snake
And heart made of stone
Cast down from heaven to burn
chorus:
Oh, time cannot heal
All that we live to regret
Oh, there is no escape
From all of the crosses we bear
A hatred for life
And a lust for deceit
She's mutates in shapes of the damned
This brooding betrayer
A teller of lies
She revels in grief and despair
repeat chorus:
The devil's revealed
She’s inside your mind
Preying on all that you fear
A word to the wise
Through rose colored eyes
This serpent cannot be concealed

Saints of Fire
05:58
|
|

We are the lost
Forgotten by all
The wayward sons of earth
Submission be damned
Loyal to none but our own
By virtue of scorn
The fire was lit
That guided our way through the dark
Then on through the night
Committed to face it alone
Perpetual wounds
That time couldn't heal
Despised by those we once loved
The warning was heard
Then one by one they all fell
Forced to bear the burden
Of pain bestowed on me
It feels maligned this point in time
that seized our souls
Slowly growing anger reveals apostasy
The one whose name was called in vain
has risen again
All in your mind
Seen through the eyes of a cold unfeeling ghost.
See the rising sun
through the falling rain.
Anguish blinds the soul
but seasons change
All alone
they call your name.
An image conceived in your mind.
Once again
when night and day collide
and winds arise to keep...
chorus:
Calling out again
Tearing at your mind
Haunting in your soul
Raging in your heart
Rising to control
You feel entombed
Frozen and alone
The wound remains
To endure
You're holding on
to a frozen point in time
For far too long it keeps...
2nd chorus:
Calling out again
Tearing at your mind
Haunting in your soul
Raging in your heart
Trying to control
