The Voyage

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!

Depths of the Unknown
07:58
|
|||
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

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

Perfect War Machine
20:35
|
|||
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
