In his penthouse, away from the sun
King in his castle, king of the night.
An ancient grudge, took them apart
No royal mistress, she was the queen of the night
They conspired, shadowed hand
Blood kisses, captive minds
Silent army, hidden knife
To strike at the unbeating heart
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
Lust for money, lust for life
In their hatred, they all forgot
Took her power, took her heart
No more a thrall, he is the king of the night
They conspired, shadowed hand
Blood kisses, captive minds
Silent army, hidden knife
To strike at the unbeating heart
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
Eternal conflict, they fight from afar, there is no quarter, never give up
Eternal conflict, they fight from afar, there is no quarter, now they clash!
She (he) is the queen (king) of the night.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Once lovers now apart.
Face to face they fight in the dark,
Eternal hatred in the night!
He is the king of the night
She’s the queen of the night
Fight together, fight apart
In the eternal dark
He is the king of the night
She’s the queen of the night

DENY
What’s in front of your eyes
IGNORE
All the signs around you
REFUSE
Your part in this disaster
CONDEMN
A million souls to suffer.
Destroying the world, profit is your god
THE SEAS
Are rising all around you
DISEASE
If they’re dead they’re silent
HUNGER
The battle for survival
YOU BRING
Suffering and violence
Destroying the world, profit is your god
When the land is covered by the rain,
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
Buried by the water and the mud
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
When the land is covered by the rain,
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
Buried by the water and the mud
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
THE POOR
Are just a little bother
THE SICK
Are the price of progress
RESULTS
The only thing that matters
INSIST
You don’t harm the planet
RAIN
Now the seas are rising
SWIM
Now it’s you who’s drowning
STILL
Insist in your denial
AT LAST
We all pay for your acts
When the land is covered by the rain,
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
Buried by the water and the mud
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
When the land is covered by the rain,
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
Buried by the water and the mud
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
When the land is covered by the rain,
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
Buried by the water and the mud
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
When the land is covered by the rain,
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part
Buried by the water and the mud
You’ll still deny your part, you’ll still deny your part

In That Day
03:34
|
|||
In that day, they knew fear,
In that day, they knew pain
In that day, the plague came calling
Taking all their hopes and lives away
The toll in their minds
The feelings inside
The fear and despair
The sickness the plague and death
Nobody could find
Nor reason nor rhyme
They couldn't expect
Nothing would be the same
All their plans for the future,
All their hopes and dreams,
All their expectations,
They were crushed by the plague
In that day, they knew fear,
In that day, they knew pain
In that day, the plague came calling
Taking all their hopes and lives away
Nothing was fair
Nobody was safe
The plague didn’t care
For power, success or wealth
Caught unprepared
Reacted too late
They looked the other way
As people were dropping dead
All their plans for the future,
All their hopes and dreams,
All their expectations,
They were crushed by the plague
In that day, they knew fear,
In that day, they knew pain
In that day, the plague came calling
Taking all their hopes and lives away
In that day, they knew fear,
In that day, they knew pain
In that day, the plague came calling
Taking all their hopes and lives away
All their plans for the future,
All their hopes and dreams,
All their expectations,
They were crushed by the plague
In that day, they knew fear,
In that day, they knew pain
In that day, the plague came calling
Taking all their hopes and lives away
In that day, they knew fear,
In that day, they knew pain
In that day, the plague came calling
Taking all their hopes and lives away
But one day, they will heal
But one day, they will mend
But one day, the plague will be gone
Taking all their pain and fear away!

Never Forget
04:22
|
|||
Politicians, conspiring, to earn votes over mass graves
The gullible, uncultured masses, ate up their stupid biases
And the time came to see
Who the good and bad had been
When we looked ourselves in the mirror
And we saw the ugliness within
Never forget those days, never regret your pain
You are the ones to blame, for all your selfishness
Never forget those days, never regret your pain
You are the ones to blame, for all your selfishness
Propaganda, division, are the tools of our destruction
Ignorance and, egotism, is all you bring to the system
And the time came to see
Who the good and bad had been
When we looked ourselves in the mirror
And we saw the ugliness within
Never forget those days, never regret your pain
You are the ones to blame, for all your selfishness
Never forget those days, never regret your pain
You are the ones to blame, for all your selfishness
Your freedom, all that matters, justify the unjustifiable
Paranoia, racism, is the flag to which you rally!
And the time came to see
Who the good and bad had been
When we looked ourselves in the mirror
And we saw the ugliness within
Never forget those days, never regret your pain
You are the ones to blame, for all your selfishness
Never forget those days, never regret your pain
You are the ones to blame, for all your selfishness

Paper Idols
04:58
|
|||
Paper idols of society,
Golden icons to our vanity,
An empty promise of prosperity,
We adored your vacuity.
You lost your humanity,
Chasing popularity.
A showcase of our infamy,
We rewarded your mediocrity
By watching with idolatry.
Plastic body! Designer face! Adulation’s what you crave!
Zero merit! To your fame! I see nothing I can gain!
Built them up for our entertainment
Now they have become role models
They give our young the worst of examples
“None of them studied why should I?”
We watched on in fascination
Maybe horror or diversion
Your example of ambition
Mesmerized in adulation
Your phony world as aspiration
Cheap escape from our frustration
Your dignity is up for auction
You taught us self-humiliation
In the drive for more possessions
Like my picture! Buy my shirt! Is that all you have to say?
A hollow talent! An empty brain! Don’t you have an ounce of shame?
Built them up for our entertainment
Now they have become role models
They give our young the worst of examples
“None of them studied why should I?”
Built them up for our entertainment
Now they have become role models
They give our young the worst of examples
“None of them studied why should I?”
Built them up for our entertainment
Now they have become role models
They give our young the worst of examples
“None of them studied why should I?”
Built them up for our entertainment
Now they have become role models
They give our young the worst of examples
“None of them studied why should I?”
Built them up for our entertainment
Now they have become role models
They give our young the worst of examples
“None of them studied why should I?”
“None of them studied why should I?”

Days of Nightmare
04:28
|
|||
Once a mighty man, strong and fearsome body
Killing many warriors, protecting the land
Conqueror and tyrant, king and emperor
Ruthless in his power, he will rule them all
Drunk with power, drunk with life
Couldn’t fathom, what would come
Drunk with power, drunk with life
Couldn’t fathom, what would come
Living on through the days of nightmare
Living on through the nights of pain
Living on through the days of nightmare
Living on through the nights of pain
Take the land by storm, rape or kill them all
They called him a warlord, they called him a god
Horses and his warriors, trampling on the fields
Bring slaves and plunder, bring it all to him
Spine is shattered, skull is cracked
A crippled body, his fate had come
Spine is shattered, skull is cracked
A crippled body, his fate had come
Living on through the days of nightmare
Living on through the nights of pain
He was trapped in a crippled body
And this god became just a man
Abandoned by his warriors, left behind by all
A pitiful example, of how the mighty fall
Vengeance would come swiftly, death would not be sweet
At the hand of those, he oppressed before
His body is pierced, his flesh is stabbed
By knife and stick, the tyrant dies
His body is pierced, his flesh is stabbed
By knife and stick, the tyrant dies
Living on through the days of nightmare
Living on through the nights of pain
He was trapped in a crippled body
And this god became just a man

Holy Lands
03:43
|
|||
Call it the land of the chosen ones
But it is covered in ash and fire
Preachers say it’s the holy land
Consecrated with tears and blood
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire
Kill their children, take their wives
How can that be God’s plan?
Burn the fields and salt the land
Kill the unbelievers in God’s command
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire
Those who suffer, those who die
Rarely chose their own side
Sentenced to die by creed or birth
For the greed of crown and church
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire
Land in darkness, land in trouble
Evil riders come to get you
Ride together, ride in power
It’s the age of sword and fire

A Liar Dethroned
05:51
|
|||
A powerful kingdom, golden land
First among equals, jewel of the sands
A mighty sultan, ruled for his time
After ten years, his time was up
And when the men came for the crown…
To his evil mind, Came an evil plan
He would tell the soldiers, The boldest of lies
Hear me my children, stay your hand
It’s a conspiracy, I’m the chosen one
You must protect me, don’t let them come
They want our downfall, our city to crack
Tell everybody, carry my word
Their impending doom, only he could stop
Their ancient traditions would no longer stand
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
The proclamation, would not take long,
I am the sultan, my word is law,
I heed no peasant, do what I want,
Mine is the power, I am your lord.
But when the news reached far enough…
The wise judges saw, the truth of it all
Just a greedy tyrant, running a crude con
Keepers of law, would not relent
They told the soldiers, dethrone that man
Bound and imprisoned, awaiting the call
In a dark cell, rotting for long
His last parade, in shackles and shame
It would not take long, for the blade to fall
On the neck of another liar dethroned
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
