[Solo – Lovio] To live another day and watch it all just slip away It won’t prepare you for the end, won’t get this chance again Too many times we try to play it safe Say “Don’t fly close to the sun or you’ll get burned” Well that’s our first mistake [Chorus] Don’t you feel the days are getting shorter In this life you have to face the hazard Don’t look back. Risk it all and be the one who flies Far beyond the sun Pack your bags, you’re moving fast Don’t hesitate your every step could be your last And you’ve come too far to worry ‘bout the past Shift the tide, you’ve almost won this fight Drive yourself past the ones who kept you down With all you’ve left behind [Chorus] [Solo – Fang] [Solo – Lovio] [Chorus] x 2

Malison 05:21
To disengage on a life rarely known True and unreal to nature Silence getting to me, bleeding by decree Branding eyes that chose not to see Can I be free to end To end it all by my own hand, the last moon rising Striking down my enemies just as they tried on me Now we’ll be… Power-blind and in control Power-blind and in control [Solo – Lovio] You lost control so now I take the lead Destruction follows as you’re given to me Always the same with your kind at the close Easy to step in the bones of the ones who just won’t let go Take a look at where you fell through Forced your eyes there’s no stopping truth Begged for answers, not those we gave You know now who is to be blamed What you want takes much more than strength There’s no light when you seek revenge All the things that you wished be done You thought you were the only one [Solo – Fang] [Solo – Mario] We never me a soul who had control And spit out all we provided The human mind can’t gain a thought of peace While it resides in a pit of rage Feeble minded Thirst for violence Feign enduring Mortals always die

The Protocol 04:40
Find the urgency Eye the many sights of lives that seem to pass you by And start to understand faceless creatures In the end we are all trapped inside Inside a machine seldom asking why Our minds have opened wide [Chorus] With blurry thoughts beyond our eyes A vivid world resides And we burned our bridge between it She’ll come right for us Two-fisted force ready to strike Burned beyond recognition is our comfort now The ash helps cover lunacy And yet, we understand, faceless creatures in the end Tonight, we see ourselves in those beside us Reaching for our lives We’re running out of time [Chorus] [Solo – Lovio] [Solo – Fang] She’ll come right for us Two-fisted force ready to strike
5.
A lurking in the shadows A creeping stench is filling up the air A silence at the gallows With all the efforts still we’re not prepared [Chorus] Danger rolls right in eroding our stability Chased down by fate And that is what has lead us here today alive But now we have a reason why we’re spared Their fear is just about to grow its fangs Mass confusion Loud rumbles reach the temple walls Delusion Our time has come, tear down the doors Extinction No hiding ‘cause the fault is yours Solution We’ll end your life before our fall There’s no escape it follows everywhere Mankind is near the end here The rotting flesh is all the proof we need Black clouded air surrounds you Loud cries begin to calm and mute the scare A burning of the bodies Embers light the sky to show the chaos everywhere [Chorus] Do you know what’s at stake here You’re falling to your knees You start to look to faith now That’s really hard to see Your lack of effort was only the beginning (beginning) And you’ll die where you fall The look for answers right as you are ceding (are ceding) The sounds of desperate calls
6.
[Solo – Lovio] Desire is fed to those in search of peace A life consumed by one’s arrogance A game that he will never win So lives the hunter never satisfied [Chorus] When you live with an obsession It starts to take a toll On your vision Back against the wall out of options Fighting for the end you made out of nothing Back against the wall now stranded Slave to the mind you own Constant battle, your risk outweighs reward The ground unknown to my natural form Time unwinds, your moves forever scorned Hunter, I’ll smile as our graves are one [Chorus] [Solo – Fang] [Solo – Lovio] [Solo – Lovio/Fang]
7.
Winds of War 03:48
A start to any given day, the rising sun in place Alarms shout from the West, an ambush from the East At any given time you’ll feel the winds of war could change So hear our battle cry ringing throughout the day [Chorus] Know our reign, traitor Manning our weapons Your effort will not die alone Strange silence opens our fixed vision of the world No telling when a threat will come out of the shade The face of evil takes on the many shapes, a challenge hard to take And with the winds of war we’re doomed to drift away [Chorus] [Solo – Lovio] At any given time you’ll feel the winds of war could change So hear our battle cry ringing throughout the day [Chorus]

Seeker 06:06
How’d I get here, a sea cast away Memory lost in all decay Stay alert, it’s already done Clear your mind for what’s yet to come Have I died? Is it near? Confusions kept me from having fear On the road, no return Looking back and searching for what I’ve become [Pre-chorus] I won’t maintain the lie. The sky’s not clear And’s never been why would it start now I know what’s come to be The path’s now fading for me [Chorus] The mountains have not caved in So relax your eyes, we’re barely getting a way to see And now breathe again once you’re inside You’ll never know the next time a light will come to show it exists Darkness will try for everything to get to me Will it overthrow the very being I seek in this tragedy As I search out just what I’ve become [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] [Solo – Lovio] [Solo – Fang] [Solo – Lovio/Fang] [Chorus]
