Call To Arms 00:52

Crusher 04:01
Lyrics: There once was a time where everything was empty. Providing all alone just taking and no giving. But light's shown it's face pulling me back from the hate inside my heart. Keeping me from tearing apart. I begin to thrive from this. Taken by your saving kiss. I thrive. I've given to you all that I am. I'll stand for you , you can lean on me. When the world seems to fall and it all seems to end. I'll stand for you , you can lean on me. Feel the strength no obstacle dare stand in the way. Weight of doom, feels possible, all has gone away. I'll fight all the way, no worries that cannot be faced. Stronger than before, I cannot be torn apart. The look on your face is the fuel that I need. The touch if your hand is the goal I seek. take me away into your embrace. No way I can fail when I'm by your side.

Run and Hide 04:05
Break into the place with a negative

Walk away before the weight of the chain becomes to heavy and it's falling to bits. Vision maintained before mess of it all, uncertainty and then calling it quits. Sever, cut the chord and run. I never see the end at all. Feel it's all a guess and the mix is a mess I wonder what the point of all of it is. Cut it down. Is this the price you pay? Or is it something you take? Can't win and tie it off. (And crush the soul) Is it better than this? I want to say that I gave it my all but am I kidding myself with this lie? Stories told with the new and the old can it born and just ready to die? Sever, pain behind the eyes. I never thought I would despise. Sharpening the blade, all the fear and the hate, one more scream and my conscious will say. Cut it down.

Led by a boom of thunder rolling across the sea The vessel struggles to beat the tide and turn the bow No sign of life ahead. The bitter taste of ocean black. Cyclone creeping closer, losing power towards the path Sharpened rocks against the hull destroying their chance Sinking down below, choking on the elements Falling Deeper. Great deceiver. Fighting to survive. Cries are getting louder Drowning crew won't fail. Wreckage keeping faith alive In the distance they see the blades and the lights along the way Breaths are getting short. Push it down and fight the pain They remember the way it was on the land far away that they call home Hope within their reach. Lifeline just a hand away Solace consuming in this battle I'm losing. Trying to find my own way Empty waters echoing loudly. Calling out your names Destress call received. Assemble rescue team. Taking flight into the storm, bracing for the hell that waits Piercing through the walls of the demon of the night Breaking barriers of the sound and light Water turns to knives. Take the hand and live your life. Solace consuming in this battle I'm losing. Trying to find my own way Binded by the thoughts in my head. Keeping me at bay Solace consuming in this battle I'm losing. Trying to find my own way Empty waters echoing loudly. Calling out your names Don't look back the ship has sailed Feel the warmth you gave prevailed. Reunited you will be. Carry on you've become the survivor!

Left Behind 03:58
I'm the one who is cast aside when the colony has fallen apart. No fault of mine. You'll be sorry when the village comes crumbling down. I go my way, the walk of shame, I feel my world is bound to change. Burning fate. Fire in the skies. All hope is gone. Army of none. What will become of all the lives that have been lost. I never wanted to be left behind. And now my home is ash and stone. I know the cause. Revenge will fuel his hatred, bringing down all who stand between everything we have and all that he wants. Rivers turn red. Bodies pile up as we are run down. I am the cause. One down. You have paved the way for your end. One day the screams will come from your own head. One down, you can't get away you are the forsaken as you count your days. My goal is set to find you, put an end to your wicked deeds. No more innocents will fall to you. Take the last breath. Out of your depth. Heart out your chest. Dictators life shall end.

The Cold 05:42
Atop the moor the fog Hides the mysterious tall creature Those caught alone will tremble Does it even exist? Eye witness reports the sound of Quaking footsteps that follow Escape alive or die Memories will haunt you Terror will claim, those willing to climb Life ain't the same, for those who survive I've seen, the shadow of hell and fear Hear me, these words you need to know Beware the haunting man of Grey And the cold it still remains Remains to be seen, our ears we trust but eyes deceive Feel them drawing closer No one to save you Face to face with the demon! Draw your weapon, unleash upon them Fire again and again No more choice but to turn and run Remains of the past still cling to, Memories of what they could be The spectre of Brocken tricks us to See what we claim Are all the stories real life, Testimonials of those are true, Dare to return to the top of Ben Macdui, are we insane?

Journey 06:17
Blood rushing to the skull Feel like giving up, out of the race We persist, and we try to repair what we've done. It's bringing it down. Monumental passion is felt Almost too much just to keep contained One can never, never, Turn around and back down One day being held up by pride Not a better feeling inside. Pick it up, failure will fail Every mountain has a top Nothing but time holding me from the climb Tougher by the day, 'nother trap in the way Bring it on, is that the best that you got? In this til I die Gotta try hard to break through my stride There is too much to lose and everything to gain This glory is lasting (No more) I can feel in the end Overcome the pain and torture Stronger now even with your broken bones Ascending through the mist Piercing winds causing wounds to show My skin may scar but it will never break Got to keep pushing forward Forces not powerful enough to put a halt to my march My prize is in sight, I use up all my might My final showdown
