The Harvest 04:43
The brightest light can't hide from the shadows Even in your prison Cry out to the great divine But you He will not know A reckoning has come to pass Your chance has come and gone Fall to your knees and pray for death And embrace the new dawn Break the seals of the seven Judgment rains down upon us all Cowering in your haven Your sanctuary will fall There will be no more chance to redeem when all is said and done Apocalypse is upon us now The prophesied end of time Symptomatic Spreading disease Psychosomatic A mental seize Cities on fire Our world set ablaze Apocalypse coming The ending of days Deceivers aligned with darkness Compose the madness With false intentions (False prophets attract the weak) All nations oppose the righteous And fall astray Like lambs to the slaughter The darkest place that you can imagine On the path before us Where suffering and misery fester into a plague Deceivers, believers, they weave their own lies They're spilling the blood They're wasting your lives Feel the wrath of the Heavens Consequence rains upon us all Now aware of the presence Of what you feared to believe Planted the seeds of your own misery and showered them with hate Apocalypse is upon us now And harvest is beginning Symptomatic Spreading disease Psychosomatic A mental seize Night everlasting The story concludes Darkness contrasting with light and we're cleansed anew Deceivers aligned with darkness Compose the madness With false intentions (False prophets attract the weak) All nations oppose the righteous And fall astray Like lambs to the slaughter Apocalypse! Feel the wrath of the Heavens Consequence rains upon us all Now aware of the presence Of what you feared to believe is true This planet abolished, abandoned to mold Its intended purpose erased Its name lost in forgotten history Deceivers aligned with darkness Compose the madness With false intentions (False prophets attract the weak) All nations oppose the righteous And fall astray Like lambs to the slaughter

Not My War 04:23
Do you hear the war drums? They play the song of impending death An archenemy has been chosen A new scapegoat for unrest Starting a war to settle the score They say God is on our side A mission divine, and just this once Killing is justified My bureaucracy has enemies, but their enemies are not mine Feed into the corruption War is a rich man's game But a poor man's fight And it never ends I can feel the coming genocide And I'm forced to take a side While the leaders count the bodies in the ground No compromise It bleeds right before my eyes Desensitized And this is not my war Only the dead have seen the end of war We're standing fast for something more We pay the price for peace With the blood of the deceased My bureaucracy has enemies, but their enemies are not mine Feeding on our destruction We've only ourselves to blame Now salute the flag As it turns to ashes I can feel the coming genocide And I'm forced to take a side While the leaders count the bodies in the ground No compromise It bleeds right before my eyes Desensitized And this is not my war Oh, how we all claim to be pacifists Until we are commanded to hate And it turns to ashes I can feel the coming genocide And I'm forced to take a side While the leaders hide the bodies in the ground No compromise It bleeds right before my eyes Desensitized And this is not my war I can feel the coming genocide I don't want to take a side While our fathers put their children in the ground A sacrifice It decays right before my eyes And this is not my war

Arising 04:10
Rise up, the young and the restless Dissatisfied by the words once again Paving the way for a new generation You owe a debt, we are the threat And we're about to make waves Reconstruct ourselves the instrument A judgement day is imminent It's justice for the innocent and all of those to come We'll shine our light into the dark Ignite the fire in their hearts This attitude of apathy and ignorance will go The time has come when we've all had enough Our fates decided by a panel of the corrupt All that we've built upon is being undone But we can educate them one by one Reconstruct ourselves the instrument A judgement day is imminent It's justice for the innocent and all of those to come We'll shine our light into the dark Ignite the fire in their hearts This attitude of apathy and ignorance will go Rise Rise Together we rise Sever the mistrust between us Obliterate all of the barriers Deconstruct all of the walls around us Join your hands and stand up A juncture of light Gleams brilliant in the night A network of conjoining lines Reunite We'll shine our light into the dark Ignite the fire in their hearts Reconstruct ourselves the instrument A judgement day is imminent It's justice for the innocent and all of those to come We'll shine our light into the dark Ignite the fire in their hearts This attitude of apathy and ignorance will go

At The End 03:58
Falling slowly into an endless sky Will we make peace before we die When everything we know is lost Will we then understand the cost Of sitting on our hands so quietly Can you see the crumbling lands Can you feel the unseen hand The fire is starting to rain A fallout A total transformation For so many reasons I cannot explain United we must stand when the fire rains If history has taught us anything Division is the cause of the fall from grace When everything you love is gone, When darkness overcomes the dawn Will it be enough to make you stand and shout Do you still believe in life Do you still believe in love Or will it all be in vein At the end For so many reasons We need a path to grace Or we won't be saved For so many reasons We need the past to change To learn from our mistakes Falling slowly into an endless sky Will we make peace before we die For so many reasons I cannot explain United we must stand when the fire rains If history has taught us anything Division is the cause of the fall from grace

Supremacy 03:39
It's becoming clear now who they see as the enemy Our citizens treated like criminals without just cause Give up a little more for the sake of your security Our rights infringed upon to serve the so-called greater good You can try to run away And forever be afraid Weight of the iron fist, it's everlasting You can try to dodge it's gaze From the eye there's no escape Omniscient supremacy Hiding in the shadows Waiting for a real escape Blinded by your mind fear Praying not to be afraid You can try to run away And forever be afraid Weight of the iron fist, it's everlasting You can try to dodge it's gaze From the eye there's no escape Omniscient supremacy Hiding in the shadows Waiting for a real escape Blinded by your mind fear Praying not to be afraid Subordination! They are becoming gods to themselves Idolatry They are determining your best interest Theocracy They can see every move you make All-seeing entity From the eye, there's no escape Omnipresent supremacy! Supremacy! It's becoming clear now who they see as the enemy Our citizens treated like criminals without just cause Give up a little more for the sake of your security Our rights infringed upon to serve the so-called greater good Hiding in the shadows Waiting for a real escape Blinded by your mind fear Praying not to be afraid Crawl away The fear you feel is meaningless I know a way To overcome the ghost that haunts you

Casualties of class division Significance defined by race False conclusions of a mass decision Distortion absorbed through a false embrace Fearing knowledge And fearing power Willingly astray Feeding hatred And feeding malice Innocence betrayed Instigators poke and prod at the already fragile bonds of our society Pushing man to the limits Take a little piece of it until there's nothing left Once united, we stand alone in silence Slaves to jealousy Misinformation distributed to incite envy amongst the masses Abnegate to take part in the game We're not the ones to blame Divide the walls that form the lines And make us whole again Devoid of honor Devoid of shame Divide and conquer Redirect the blame How did we come to this after everything we've fought for Dying a little more each day The consequences of our divisiveness Once united, we stand alone in silence Slaves to jealousy Misinformation distributed to incite envy amongst the masses Abnegate to take part in the game We're not the ones to blame Divide the walls that form the lines And make us whole again

This realm, under the pressure of the system's cloud It's something to be called as enemy, can't you see - it's your decision, To shield the propaganda from your mind They are holding the key to get free They are holding the truth out of sight They are holding the mind of the youth They are holding you by the throat They are holding the potentials, expending, promising - inconsequential Starting to see the lies exceed, behind the line, behind - permissible prediction Starting to see the lies exceed, behind the black walls behind the heresy Starting to feel free thoughts impede behind the curtain behind the fantasy They have few of their secrets to show Hiding them instead I ask Why all of this agony? Why? Volunteers to accept false reality, With suppressed dignity, And battered perfection Starting to breath the air, Starting to build a sphere, A sphere without a total sense of protection They have few of their secrets to show Hiding them instead I ask Why all of this agony? Why, this desperation Why, this aggrevation What we're seeing now is a suppression of human individuality This is mental extinction

Keeping the solace And seeking the knowledge And striving to keep a bold appearance Fighting, providing Persistence abiding All for giving All for living I have heard the tales untold Inside the wounds unknown Its an ordinary tale of all that is forgotten (You and I) While we're waiting for the gods (You and I) While we're waiting for the chosen ones We could be the heroes of our generation We see the world Through different eyes And I could never rest It is the cost of every man Breathing, surviving And secretly fighting And trying to make the hard decisions Taking a stand now And making demands How coexistence gleans resistance I have seen the world unfold I have felt the good unknown Its an ordinary tale of all that goes untold (You and I) While we're waiting for the gods (You and I) While we're waiting for the chosen ones We could be the heroes of our generation We see the world Through different eyes And I could never rest

Resistance 04:23
The battle starts right now The legions fed by hate, flooding the streets recite the vow Not loyal, no more enchained No more bowing down so low Their flesh of feud A wrathful engine army of the lame While lashes of invincibles shall make them safely tame In a twisted liberty In the warped scheme of life They will burn your frail wings off Or extinguish your inner light And we will rise A million voices like sirens in the night Our fists held high like pillars in the air All fear left behind Our vision true, and mission clearly defined The battle starts right now The enslaved flesh bowing to faceless shadows they create A brand new true blue flock of sheep Blinded by visions of fate Slaves to their fears And chained by lies force-fed into their thoughts Each one of them Useless and hollow machines In a twisted liberty In the warped scheme of life They will burn your frail wings off Or extinguish your inner light And we will rise A million voices like sirens in the night Our fists held high like pillars in the air All fear left behind Our vision true, and mission clearly defined The battle starts right now And we will rise A million voices like sirens in the night Our fists held high like pillars in the air All fear left behind Our vision true, and mission clearly defined The battle starts right now

Leviathan 04:00
A tremendous weight placed upon our backs With little concern for how its carried We'll sink, into a void of black Forgotten legends to be lost and buried Take a look around and you will see The recklessness, self indulgence, and voracity of it all Break it down into insignificant numbers False figures, but the damage is real This was the plan But we don't know for how long Economic collapse, destroying the core And leave the hungry masses wanting more Falling deeper into abjection Forced into Depravity It's a clever game they play and its ours to lose Don't ask, they will never tell you how they plan to pay it back They distract with unlimited funding from treasures they don't have Falling deeper into abjection Forced into Depravity It's a clever game they play and its ours to lose Feed it and grow it Slaves to the leviathan Bleeding, draining I have nothing, no more to give. Cheating, wasting Futures sold, but with little to show for it Feed the Leviathan! Bleeding, draining I have nothing, no more to give. Cheating, wasting Futures sold, but with little to show for it Feed the Leviathan!

Hope Is Lost 08:36
Lost, we're at a loss And all will cease to be Fallen, now there is dark Our light's not enough to see The shadows choke like the dust and smoke Its the blind leading the blind Whether we are joined as one Or left alone Tomorrow we will die I feel like I failed Won't try to mask the sorrow And though we might still last tomorrow Hope is lost Now at the end I'm searching for the sun I've felt its life a thousand times Now forgotten what it's like The darkness falls like blackened walls And fires the only light Never feel its warmth again What could have been Desire in your eyes I feel like I failed Won't try to mask the sorrow And though we might still last tomorrow Hope is lost Go back to where it all began Eternity in seconds And history repeats Go back to where it started It's not that hard to see We're rooted in our faithlessness And history repeats [In the final days of our existence here I hope humanity can turn around and see The sacrifices made, the blood and tears they shed How at the end, we find it never mattered No heroic tales will be recited then No stories or songs to carry on the names All wars will be forgotten, all fame will be erased Now at the end, we find it all a waste] I feel like I failed Won't try to mask the sorrow I doubt we'll ever see tomorrow We see the fall coming Fate is carved upon the wall As the universe is fading We're digging our own graves And we will sing this song tomorrow "We gather in the night The writers of the hopeless song Together in the dark We pray for one last note to sing We're lost but not afraid Our voices cry in unison For those who lost their way We pray for one last song" I cry into the night The writer of this hopeless song Collapsed, eyes to the sky I pray for one last scream Hope is lost No longer waiting for the gods Or for the chosen ones No heroes there will be And history repeats Go back to where it all began Eternity in seconds And history repeats Go back to where it started It's not that hard to see We're rooted in our faithlessness And history repeats I write this as a warning And I write this is a plea Until your dying breath escapes you Your hope can never die So take these words I gave you And tally up the cost Cause the day we give up fighting Is the day that hope is lost
