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

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?”

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 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.
