We Are The Sword
05:47
|
|||
|
From high above, we are the
Watchers in the sky
To keep the peace, for the
Kingdom we would die
Our shadows cast upon
The evil down below
We fight the wars
To protect all those at home
Red Wings!
Fight for your King!
Protect your homeland!
Show no mercy!
Command the skies!
We are the shield
That shelters everyone
We are the sword
That does what must be done
Red Wings!
Fight for your King!
Protect your homeland!
Show no mercy!
Command the skies!
Have you the strength
To weather what's to come
Upon this rock
There will be blood

See The Light
06:11
|
|||
|
Please don't look at me that way
Like a stranger from so far away
Don't pretend that you are not afraid
Of yourself when you are led astray
But if these eyes
Can see the light
Behind the darkness
Where you hide
Then I believe
That we are free
To choose our fight
Does your reflection really haunt you so?
Like a specter that you barely know
Are you truly happy all alone
Then just tell me and I'll go
But if these eyes
Can see the light
Behind the darkness
Where you hide
Then I believe
That we are free
To choose our fight

Walk For Miles
05:58
|
|||
|
Out into the world
Beset by the monsters of
The land, and sea, and air
On I wander across the land
Fighting through the wilderness
Every step could be my last
There is no turning back
Onward journey forward seeming endless
I must find the will to carry on
So I walk for miles through the seasons
I will walk forever for the
Chance to make things right
I will walk for miles
Deep below the surface
On the run and losing
Light, and time, and hope
Weak and weary from the battlefield
Worn down and so lost
Through there is no end in sight
There is no turning back
Onward journey forward seeming endless
I must find the will to carry on
So I walk for miles through the seasons
I will walk forever for the
Chance to make things right
I will walk for miles

Call On Me
05:43
|
|||
|
Come down below
To the world
We call home
Frozen in time
Where we wait
To be called
Where there is fear
The monsters will summon
The courage you need
When you are weak
I give you the strength to succeed
You may call on me
Be not afraid
We live in peace
All alone
In times of need
If you are true
My might is yours
Where there is fear
The monsters will summon
The courage you need
When you are weak
I give you the strength to succeed
You may call on me
When you are lost
Call on the light
To show you the way
Deep in the night
Call on the fire
To cast the dark ablaze
When you succumb
When all hope is gone
Where there is fear
The monsters will summon
The courage you need
When you are weak
I give you the strength to succeed
You may call on me

I'm Not Alone
04:54
|
|||
|
A moment here
A moment gone
Life was clear
Not for long
The fire came
Life burned away
Now it's dark
Forever
I'll carry on
For my mother
I'll be strong
I'll start over
At night I lay
Wide awake
And try to dream
Of dragons
But all I see
Is burning flame
Consuming all
I remember
But I won't be
So defeated
I'll face my fear
I'll believe
I will call
On all the strength
I hold in my heart
And remember
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

Master Of The Skies
06:12
|
|||
|
I've spent my whole life
Looking at the sky
Wishing I could fly
They took my dreams and
Made for me a cage
To which I stay a slave
We are not chained down to the Earth and
This is the time for a rebirth and
We are not chained down to the Earth and
This is our time, this is our time
Come, fly away into
Another world above
Come, feel the wind
As you soar beyond it all
No one can touch you
Once you've learned to fly
Master of the skies
With these machines
I have let them take control
This is all my fault
With these machines
I will bring them crashing down
We'll burn it to the ground
We are not chained down to the Earth and
This is the time for a rebirth and
We are not chained down to the Earth and
This is our time, this is our time
Come, fly away into
Another world above
Come, feel the wind
As you soar beyond it all
No one can touch you
Once you've learned to fly
Master of the skies
Are we out of time
Can we set things right
I'm reborn up in the sky
(Come fly away,
It's time to break these chains,
Come fly away,
It's time for a new day)
Come, fly away into
Another world above
Come, feel the wind
As you soar beyond it all
No one can touch you
Once you've learned to fly
Master of the skies

Gaze Upon True Terror
07:31
|
|||
|
When the darkness comes
And soils everyone
Will you remember it
How the terror hit
Will you avert your eyes
And try to shield your mind
Before the madness wins
Before the pain begins
In your heart of hearts
You know how it starts
How the fear creeps in
And takes control again
You can't resist my call
I'm breaking down the walls
You've run out of time
You meet your end tonight
True power
Lies with those
Who possess
The strongest will
For the rest
Death is release
Fall on your knees
And meet your fate
You cannot
Outrun your sins
I will be
Your judgement day
Say one last
Useless prayer
And gaze upon
True terror

The Forces Of Nature
06:02
|
|||
|
The Earth shall wake at my command
And spawn forth Death's unholy hand
And open up its gaping maw
To swallow all your faithless hearts
I control the surging current lines
I will gather the force of ocean tides
And make them crash down on your crumbling minds
I'll be still and work behind the scenes
I'll piece by piece erode your destiny
As I wear the face of your king
The forces of nature
Are summoned once again
The elements have gathered
To guide you to your end
Earth and water
Wind and Fire
I bring down the screaming gale
A cyclone from the depths of Hell
With winds that bring you to your knees
A tornado of soulless deeds
I assume the cloak of living flame
Eyes that for so long have burned insane
Now a worthy foe has called my name
Know behind the embers lies a fire
Once ignited burning ever higher
Now prepare to die upon your pyre
The forces of nature
Are summoned once again
The elements have gathered
To guide you to your end
Earth and water
Wind and Fire

I Will Not Forget
05:20
|
|||
|
I am
No hero
No savior
I'm not the only one
Who saw the writing on
The walls
My hands
Are stained
And I can't
Wash it all away
Like painful memories
They stay
In darkness
In failure
They never
Lost the will to fight
They always saw the light
In me
They fought
On my side
For my pride
When all I ever want
Is to be anyone
But me
Who am I
To live on
And not those
Who make their sacrifice
And I will not forget
It's wrong
That I'm here
And they're gone
And I can't take their place
And I can't bear to face
This alone
I mourn
In silence
For my friends
But I can't bring them back
I want to tell them that
I'm sorry
Who am I
To live on
And not those
Who make their sacrifice
And I will not forget
I am
No hero
No savior
I'm not the only one
My hands
Are stained
And I can't
Wash it all away
I want to tell them that
I'm sorry

So The Legends Said
06:44
|
|||
|
For so long
I have told the tales
The legends and lies
And prophecies to fill
To me, did they come
To show them the path
And where to go
But I never know
High in this tower
I have said the prayers
Spoke the ancient words
As they danced into the air
Then would close my eyes
Waiting for a sign
That they were true
What more to do
Open wide the dragon's maw
Hoisting dark and light
Arise now from the sea
And soar into the night
So the legends said
And now do my eyes see
I awake upon the hour
Of destiny
Holding on to faith
Like wishing on a dream
Reciting what was passed on
From stories incomplete
In cycles and waves
Hoping I could save
Myself from fear
That none would hear
Open wide the dragon's maw
Hoisting dark and light
Arise now from the sea
And soar into the night
So the legends said
And now do my eyes see
I awake upon the hour
Of destiny
Now the sky has opened up
Find your place among the stars
Fly beyond the atmosphere
A dream becoming real
A hope
A wish

We Are The Moon
05:03
|
|||
|
I could not bear
To sleep, to dream
To wait in silence
To love this death
We move in circles
Around a sphere of blue
One day we'll call home
For now we are the moon
Deep underground
I heard his voice
He called with his lies
To sow his release
We move in circles
Around a sphere of blue
One day we'll call home
For now we are the moon

Within The Giant
05:28
|
|||
|
For one who lived by the sword
Do you know what you fight for
Are your hands simply the tools of greater men
Does the fool mistake a master for a friend
Here, within the giant
You must forge your path
See beyond the echoes
Of the past
Deep within the heart
There beats a single truth
No one can decide for you
Your fate is in your hands
For one who's played the pawn
Do you know righteous from wrong
Will you allow them to tell you who to be
Are you more than the sword that you wield
Here, within the giant
You must forge your path
See beyond the echoes
Of the past
Deep within the heart
There beats a single truth
No one can decide for you
Your fate is in your hands

The Hatred Dimension
06:17
|
|||
|
I feel the presence taking form
From a black hole deep in the core
I reach out and take control
And call upon the sky to fall
Fed by an unbridled hate
I unleash a new big bang
To spin us free from time and space
Adrift in how you failed
I AM HATRED
Eternal in the hearts of men
I AM MADNESS
Swirling vacant, cold descent
I AM ENDLESS
Welcome to the space between
The settling of everything
I've become what never was
A wellspring of your darkest thoughts
A culling of finality
An end point to your fantasy
I AM HATRED
Eternal in the hearts of men
I AM MADNESS
Swirling vacant, cold descent
I AM ENDLESS
Welcome to the space between
The settling of everything
I AM HATRED
Eternal in the hearts of men
I AM MADNESS
Swirling vacant, cold descent
I AM ENDLESS
Welcome to your destiny
I AM HATRED
Eternal in the hearts of men
I AM MADNESS
Swirling vacant, cold descent
I AM ENDLESS
Welcome to the space between
The settling of everything

Another Promise
05:21
|
|||
|
This sword of light, now laid down
In crimson-black reflection
Lost inside the memory
Of what it meant to end
A bitter recollection
For who won't see tomorrow
A victory, so spoiled
A peace, so won by sorrow
Rise anew
Grasping close, another promise
Hope renewed
A chance to start again
May we never heal these wounds
Let pain always remind us
The sacrifice of heroes gone
The long cost of survival
Rise anew
Grasping close, another promise
Hope renewed
A chance to start again
Triumph brings to us this quest
As stewards of our world
To honor those who came before
To protect and to learn
Shall we blaze another path
Forever moving forward
Or find our solace in this place
Where purpose is reborn
Rise anew
Grasping close, another promise
Hope renewed
A chance to start again
