I Am

I lie here all alone
It’s a shameful sight
The hurt that holds me down
Might just start my life
Through the thrills of fear
In a rush of pain
I am
Laughing through my tears
I might just understand
Who I am
Through the thrills of fear
In a rush of pain
I need the threat you give
It’s what drives me on
The chains that I can break
It’s what makes me strong
Through the thrills of fear
In a rush of pain
I am
Laughing through my tears
I might just understand
Who I am
Through the thrills of fear
In a rush of pain
It’s time to do or die
There’s no in-between
I’m punching for the skies
Bring to life my dreams
Through the thrills of fear
In a rush of pain
I am
Laughing through my tears
I might just understand
Who I am
Through the thrills of fear
In a rush of pain
I am
Laughing through my tears
I might just understand
Who I am

Shoot!
05:14
|

Dark, everything’s dark
A pain, inside
My blood, gushing from every vein
Your deed, unreal
But now, now that I’m gone
I’ll waste, your life
I’ll haunt, haunt you down
On my playground
I’ll mess up your brain
I’ll drive you insane
Shoot – You’d wish you were dead
Shoot – you’d blow off your head
Bang – you’re shedding your tears
Shoot – but I’ll keep you here
Friends, you said we were friends
Then this, betrayal
I’ll lust every moment I
Keep you alive
I’ll mess up your brain
I’ll drive you insane
Shoot – You’d wish you were dead
Shoot – you’d blow off your head
Bang – you’re shedding your tears
Shoot – but I’ll keep you here
Shoot – You’d wish you were dead
Shoot – you’d blow off your head
Bang – you’re shedding your tears
Shoot – but I’ll keep you here

Talking to the Dead
05:12
|

Audi vocem tuam interiorem
Audire potes echo maiorum tuorum?
Omnes sunt in parte tua, ut te doceat
In tuis cogitationibus, iudiciis et actionibus
Voces eorum audi et ad cor tuum eas serva
Let’s raise a toast to the dead,
Lest we forget what they said
We'll raise a glass to the dead
And we'll remember what they said
Though they are long forgotten now
I hear their words inside somehow
Yes, they are long abandoned now
But I know what they’ve said
The echoes of the past, all over
I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover
Just raise your hand to your heart
It’s where it ends, where it starts
Just close your eyes, touch your heart
Embrace this ancient natural art
You will be long forgotten, gone
But things you’ve said and things you’ve done
Will echo down and linger on
It’s simple, it’s plain
The echoes of the past, all over
I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover
The echo of my past
The echoes of the past, all over
I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover
The echoes of the past, all over
I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover
The echoes of the past, all over
I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover
The echoes of my past
All over
I’ve been talking to the dead, prime mover

Tigers Released
04:29
|

Come to us
We’ll treat you better than them
Join us now
And learn to fight like a man
The day of reckoning draws nigh
They’ve just unchained all the tigers
They give you truth served by liars
Taste my blood
Rejuvenation is yours
Eat my flesh
Bow to my heavenly force
We’ll cleanse those sinful of tribes
They’ve just unchained all the tigers
They keep on changing the rules
They give you truth served by liars
And you will play the fool
We must abandon our silence
And speak our point of view
Let’s finish their so called guidance
And set the world anew
They’ve just unchained all the tigers
They keep on changing the rules
They give you truth served by liars
And you will play the fool
They’ve just unchained all the tigers

Age of Man
08:09
|

In the ancient fragments of
The legend you've been told
A man with a hair of silver
Met a girl with a hair of gold
Remember how they spun their love
To a fabric strong as steel
And with a wave of hands
That cloth began to breathe
In the oldest hymns that
Our elders still recite
That cloth took human form
Our lineage sprung to life
As the gods came running
To this carnival of souls
A boy came forth
Protected by his horde
Hey – the fight has begun
Hey – we'll follow our son
The rising of kings, the binding of rings
That make men stay together
Together as one, to fight the storm
The shadows of gods that fall over men
Let's bring out the light and then
We'll celebrate rising of the kings
In the age of sayings
There is wisdom to be found
So gather by the fire here
And let the elders have their time
Let them teach the young ones
To take heed in gods that crave
For our submission to
The plans that they call faith
Let them see the light in
Our king that we still praise
And show them how to pay
Respect in every way
Let the solemn grandeur
Of our founder be the guide
Or let them rot in hell
As traitors to our tribe
The rising of kings, the crafting of rings
That make men stay together
Together as one, to fight the storm
The shadows of gods that fall over men
Let's bring out the light and then
We'll celebrate rising of the kings
Behold in the far, a rising star
It points us the way we just have to go now
No – running away
No – getting away
No – getting away
The rising of kings, the binding of rings
Together as one, to fight the storm
The shadows of gods that fall over men
We celebrate rising of the kings
The rising of kings, the forging of rings
That make men stay together
Together as one, to fight the storm
The shadows of gods that fall over men
Let's bring out the light and then
We'll celebrate rising of the kings,
And so, we're letting the age of man begin

The Queen's Tiara
05:19

The Queen's Tiara
Frozen moment, the queen's tiara
Is falling off, it's her sayonara
The king's beheaded, the land in turmoil
The dissidents, get smeared in night soil
While I'm watching from behind
While I'm pulling strings in their mind
And when the last one is all sorted out
That's when I have it in my hands
And I'll be sending my commands
I am the new king of this land
Condemned for treason, no need for trials
I wind them up, at stakes, at pyres
The people slander, they eat their hearts out
To stop them whining I cut their head short
I'm watching all their moves
While I'm spinning threads in the gloom
And when the last one is all sorted out
That's when I have it in my hands
And I'll be sending my commands
I am the new king of this land
Rejoice, I'm your king
Drink, fuck and sing
Just show your love
'Cause I'm your saviour, the one
Fight for my throne
Blood, broken bones
Just pay the price, for freedom
Frozen moment, my heart is pounding
I look around, I stand surrounded
The mob has turned on their rightful master
I cannot hide, I'll meet my fate here
And when the last light goes dim for my eyes
I see a shadow behind all the lies
That's when I know I've been deceived
How could I possibly believe
That they were lying through their creed
Weep for your king
Drink, mourn and sing
Just show your love
As I'm your saviour, the one
Lay down your lives
Punish the vice
Just pay the price, for freedom
Lay down your lives
Punish the vice
Just pay the price, for freedom

Come to me
Learn my ways
Understand
Play the game
Victory (mine)
All I crave (all)
Fight with me (fight)
Blood be brave
You will evolve or you’ll be gone
Just take a breath
Prove to me why
Why I chose you
Just one more breath
Strike me like a foe
Be the best
Own this war (war)
What is fear
Anymore
You will evolve or you’ll be gone
You will evolve or you’ll be gone
Just take a breath
Prove to me why
Why I chose you
Just one more breath
Strike me like a foe
Evolve or you’ll be gone
You will evolve or you’ll be gone
You will evolve or you’ll be gone
You will evolve or you’ll be gone

Secretly
06:15

Say
Just say the words I want from thee
As long as your lips set me free
I’m paying the price
Feel
It’s all forbidden, can’t you see
You have this power over me
Will you touch my fire?
God knows
I’m a slave at your command
Here goes
Pain is pleasure once again
So close
If I reach out I’d touch your hand
How long
If I could come you’d stop my pain
Chained
Unlock the shackles round my heart
Your skin so close would be a start
Let me look in your eyes
Man
I’m not the man I’d like to be
Although I’m missing part of me
With you I’m alive
God knows
I’m a slave at your command
Here goes
Pain is pleasure once again
So close
If I reach out I’d touch your hand
How long
If I could come you’d stop my pain
I know
I’m a slave to your command
Down low
I’d give it all to be a man
Get close
If you reach out, you’d touch my hand
One dose
Please cross the boundaries where we stand

Some Die Young
05:07
|

Roll the dice
Don’t look for an alibi
Don’t act like a passer-by
You’d better give it a try
Lose yourself
Sometimes that’s the only way
Don’t stop at your second best
You’re the star of your life
Let every moment count
A deadly race from the start
But we got play in our hearts, so
Some die young, heading for the setting sun
We’re running straight towards our graves
While singing heaven can wait, but
Some die young, they won’t even know they’re gone
Move your ass
Nothing gonna change unless
You put your knuckles to the test
And give it a go
So cut your lifeline
Stretch your lifespan
Chop your down-time
Just let it roll
Let every second count
A deadly race from the start
But we got play in our hearts, so
Some die young, heading for the setting sun
We’re running straight towards our graves
While singing heaven can wait, but
Some die young, they won’t even know they’re gone
We’re singing heaven can wait
But some die young
A deadly race from the start
But we got play in our hearts, so
Some die young, heading for the setting sun
We’re running straight towards our graves
While singing heaven can wait, but
Some die young, they won’t even know they’re gone
Some die young
Some die young
Some die young
Some die young

Dream On
06:22
|

Come to sleep my little puppet
Come and let me feed on you
Tonight, all night
Bow your head, I’ll slit your throat
again
I see through your pretence
Dream on – dream on
Gently stroking your hair golden
Sapping your juice, bitter-sweet
Tonight, all night
Are you fighting to escape
Let’s pretend you are awake
Dream on, dream on
Dream on – you are mine, so stay for a while
I will lead you in the dance
consummating our romance
Dream on, dream on
Dream on – you are mine, so stay for a while
Dream on – you are mine, just give us a smile
Dream on – you are mine, so stay for a while
