1.	Descend 00:56	lyrics	buy track
We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
2.	Safer In the Open [Explicit] 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Let's go! Welcome To a time where guilt is free From all our thoughts and our self beliefs Twisted morals and lack of dreams As I stand alone I always seem to find that Time won't let go How'd we get here? God only knows Drowned in a sea Of contempt and insecurity Now I Stand for all those honest souls Who work till death just to feed the dole I know that I might seem cold But as I look around All I see is hatred How's this so? I refuse to let this go Drenched in defeat How? Do you ever question The way you're supposed to live? Dictated cycles Why? Take heed to every single word that I say You know my patience is gone For the games that you play Endure Everything they throw at you Pride is all you have When the day is through In time You see I was right all along Compared to me You know you're not nearly as strong Fuck you Is all I have left to say I'm unrelenting and you know I'm here to stay
3.	Litany [Explicit] 02:43	lyrics	buy track
Now this is a story Some may say a parody Of one's life And all those around Day to day we do what we're told Obey the laws and never showing resolve When will you have your say? Wait, it won't be today We have an appetite for lies This is a story dictating our lives Why would we ever question How do you sleep at night We all seek comfort By means of repetition I'll walk the line, I will obey I will do everything you say And when the time has come to prove You know I'll stand by you Now I'm a clone for all to see I will never stop conforming to law Do I give a fuck? no! And now for me Is it time for litany? I'll try and hide my fears Watch my back and stand in the clear
4.	I'll See You Dead 04:22	lyrics	buy track
I cast my mind To a dream I once had Premonitions of events Yet to occur Still I try and forget What I saw The sight before me That lay on the floor I have seen you fall I have seen you dead In a vision that I once dreamt How do I stop these thoughts? Will I ever be released from this? We are brothers bound in blood The sons of our beloved king Yet why is it all I fear Is jealousy to the throne you sit? I was born to rule these lands The rightful heir to a promised throne I have reached the final straw Your life is a testament to all that's wrong Hell bent on blood and war Do you even know what you're fighting for? Take this evil dream away Never will it take control Now you see The full extent of my crime I'll never repent Neither will I Avenge your fate I cast my mind To a dream I once had Premonitions of events Yet to occur Still I try and forget What I saw The sight before me That lay on the floor Watching you burn
5.	Stamp On Your Grave 04:17	lyrics	buy track
Stamp on Take hold of anything you can Now keep the weapon firm in hand Now swing back and forth Until what lies in front is just a corpse And now devastation Cause everything I'm told is a lie I will not show emotion again Until I laugh when I'm stamping on your grave Now take one big breath Don't stop until you have nothing left Your life matters most You know you're not the one who has to choke For now your time has come I will make your demise my only goal Only after I destroy your life Ignore Everything you wanted to say Keep it going for the thrill At the end of the day The clock ticks I'm one step closer to death And this is something That I must learn to accept I I will make your demise my only goal Only after I destroy your mind
6.	What You Deserve 04:37	lyrics	buy track
You have Aggravated the devil's own My anger knows no boundaries No remorse for wasted souls I do not feel the same I think that you are to blame My memory is scarred So beg your pardon I cannot say your name All I feel is this disdain It's time for you to face The repercussions I'll find my only calling Escape is life hell bent on pain I will give all I have To settle my woes And forget all my lows Signed, sealed and delivered and so... This is what you deserve A glass of vengeance Served with a black eye That's just for starters Wait until the cries You have sunk to an all time low Kicked dirt in my face Now I'm ready to explode No one to hear you cry Where is your saviour? Where is your faith now? I take a breath Wait a moment to consider The choices I make As I plan your fate Orchestrating your very demise As a punishment for all your lies Devastating your very soul As I leave you six foot in a hole I feel it's my time, I will not stand in line Never again will I try in vain Die!
7.	Blood From a Stone 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Stand your ground! And now I will not show remorse For the things that I have broken Determination To have my say I will never Be mis-spoken I will not plead Never on my knees I'll hold my own Blood from a stone I'll rise up from the ashes Make a stand for the sake of pride In death I'll find my honour A legacy that'll live beyond this life Life is a test Of determination Of your pride Only the weak will taste defeat It's just a matter of time Live for the fight For every challenge is a gift A form of honour That's bound in blood So you must stand your ground A different chapter to have my say The story's always told by those who win Who would ever want to be good When instead we can live in sin? I'll start my contrivance As I begin to deceive my very own existence As I try to make it all on my own Blood from a stone
8.	Reign 04:53	lyrics	buy track
"In the wake of darkness You choose to disguise your pain It's for a matter of pride That you show your disdain With your backs against the wall Your enemies will never surprise you Defeat is never an option Allow your passion to drive you!" Those were the words that he lived by The lessons he learnt from years of betrayal Success was all that he sought out But as you'll hear, all he brought was pain It started out almost perfect, born ruler of the land The crowds all loved him for the glory he promised Instead all they got was bloodshed Blood struck and downed by blame Dumbstruck to all that he held dear This day marks the end of his reign The final day of a decade of pain Throat slashed a stone on his back This tyrant's blue blood runs black His reign has come to an end A palace built by the labour Of those he called friends And in the courtyard the bones of those who failed A kingdom built on a thousand broken spines Revolution Royal blood stains the flag red Slaves take up arms and smash down the gates The king's guardians look the other way Blood struck and down by pain Dumbstruck to all that he held dear Damn your legacy You have gone and taken the only good from me Damn your legacy History knows your deeds Rulers with no remorse will be made to pay
9.	The Old Lie 04:57	lyrics	buy track
Knee deep in the mud Dead friends at every turn The enemy comes - they smell your sweat And as you die you should remember Now you die for your country Blood marks the lines on the map For oil, or gold, or one man's pride You march to your end March! Through the crimson field March! Through adversity March! To the gates of hell March! It's your destiny March! Through the trench of death March! To your early grave March! As your country calls March! As the bullets rain March! It's your destiny You've had your day and now you're gone A name on a grave, a thought on a wreath Another skull in the dirt Better for you to still be alive A forgotten son, a mother's tears Another worthless hero Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori It's good and right to die for your country Walk through the fields of fire Show me your bravery Steel yourself and face your foe Shred them to pieces And for what? Why should they fall? Blood soaks the fields Just another pointless war Why won't you die? Where is your pride? A memorial marking your name A cross in the dirt Another well trained martyr A flag on a coffin A stain on our honour The old lie for which you die March to your end
10.	When Will They Return 05:06	lyrics	buy track
Why do I venture so far away from home? Will I ever make my return? Killing in the name of a nation Fighting a war I never chose Where is the line between duty and murder? Is there honour in being a martyr? And as I fight through the boundaries of death Begin to question why I left Is it a job or a duty to serve? Or a question of holding my nerve? For queen and country I'll lay down my blood The reasons why are misunderstood Will I ever see my loved ones again? Or see the days when all wars end? It's in our nature to destroy those around Exterminating all who oppose The lives of many dictated by few Control our actions and over we go As feelings fade My vision dies All things just turn to grey My way is lost My soul is tired I can't go back this way I cross the Styx I enter Dis At the feet of death I pray My life is gone I won't see the light of day And as we stand We stand tall Never again will you see us fall As we stand in your face And we'll give More than you can take Mark my words we will return Despite of all your actions I will not fall I will not crawl I'll let my actions speak I will not stop I'll struggle on I'll fight until the end I am alive despite your plans Leaving you to count the days When you know that we will return
