Foundations
06:16
|

Night lit by the flame
Flight from all that I claim
So bleak, this picture I frame
Ruler but only in name
Dig - Foundations deep
Walls - Will never be breached
Strong - This kingdom of mine
Built on the ashes of others
Rule - From a throne on high
Tremble - You're in my sight
Find - My time is now
See the death on display
Witness the state of decay
Barren fields of hope
Welcome embrace of the rope
Dig - Foundations deep
Walls - Will never be breached
Strong - This kingdom of mine
Built on the ashes of others
Rule - From a throne on high
Tremble - You're in my sight
Find - My time is now
This crown of stone, crumbles to dust
Rise from the ruins
This crown of stone, crumbles away
All that was taken the darkest of days
This crown of stone, crumbles to dust
Rise from the ruins
This crown of stone, crumbles away
All that was taken will be reclaimed
Reclaimed
Dig - Foundations deep
Walls - Will never be breached
Strong - This kingdom of mine
Built on the ashes of others
Rule - From a throne on high
Tremble - You're in my sight
Find - My time is now
Here - Foundations lie
Strength - with no compromise
Great - This kingdom I build
Upon the ruins of others
Hide - Scars of the past
Power - Reclaimed at last
See - My time is now

Tyrant
04:59
|
|||
Those impaled on your walls, skin stripped to reveal your truth
Leech sucking out the life, reign where you don't belong
Thought's controlled through fear, approval not received
Anger dragged, straight from hell
Keep us in silence
Kill our defiance
You Tyrant
Death by the hand that feeds, swinging from your hanging post
Led by the one who deceives, betrayed by the truth
Death by the hand that feeds, swinging from your hanging post
Led by the one who deceives
Personal tyrant
Gears of hate keep turning, fires that drive keep burning
No remorse in site, your vice grip closes tight
Can't escape your grasp, how long can this last?
Pride is the last thing you take
Keep us in silence
Kill our defiance
You Tyrant
Death by the hand that feeds, swinging from your hanging post
Led by the one who deceives, betrayed by the truth
Death by the hand that feeds, swinging from your hanging post
Led by the one who deceives
Personal tyrant
Still you deceive - There's no reprieve
Tyrant
Taking your toll - Assuming control
Tyrant
Death by the hand that feeds, swinging from your hanging post
Led by the one who deceives, betrayed by the truth
Death by the hand that feeds, swinging from your hanging post
Led by the one who deceives
Personal tyrant

Breaking The Cycle
04:38
|

Their will, causing untold suffering
Their will, to withold the truth
Their wants, greed multiplying
Their game, take it all from you
Our will, met with acts of violence
Our will, crushed beneath their boots
Our wants, echo in the silence
Our game, destined to lose
Turn a new page
From dismay into rage
Here we defy you
Breaking the cycle the ancient disciples of
Hatred, dividing
Clouding the glass with the aim
That through the flames the cycle remains
Their aim, to oppress the innocent
Their goal, to control through grief
Their lies, keep us all divided
Smoke screen from the enemy
Our aim, to be the ones united
Our goal, to help the ones in need
Our truths, reveal the hate incited
Torn apart by the ones who lead
Now we can see
Who's the true enemy
Here we defy you
Breaking the cycle the ancient disciples of
Hatred dividing
Clouding the glass, with the aim
That through the flames the cycle remains
Opposing hatred
Defiant 'till the end
The end
Here we defy you
Breaking the cycle the ancient disciples of
Hatred dividing
Losing their grasp of their ultimate task
Our will arising
Breaking the cycle our bid for survival is
Era Defining
Clearing the glass with the aim
That through the flames the cycle decays
The Cycle Decays

The Final Step
08:12
|

Rain falls upon my face
Deathly hands reaching out for me
Long is the road I've walked
The end draws near with a price I will have to pay
Chains bound around my chest
Open wounds now mark my flesh
Closer the darkness ebs
Beckons to me as I take the final step
Stare into his eyes
His touch, takes the pain inside
Fear, starts to fade away
A final gift before the end
Glance at the shrouded face
Welcomed into his embrace
Pulled, from this mire of strife
The sun sets one last time
Now, the price is paid
Peacefully, my light now fades
Expell, the final breath
Taking, the final step
Mind, no longer aches
Forgetting, the past mistakes
Have joy, where once you wept
As I take the final step
Time to take my leave
An end, to this reprieve
Speak, a last farewell
Surrender
Tears fall upon my face
Lifeless hands are gently placed
Long is the road behind
The end I feared has now arrived
Chains that once had me bound
Loosening in this peace I've found
Thankful, those who are left
Sit with me as I take the final step

Grace
04:41
|

Dead of night
Worlds collide
Eyes so bright
Dimmed their light
Blood on her face, deathly embrace
What have you done?
Don't protect
Act in spite
Can't dissect
You've no right
Blood on her face, deathly embrace
What have you done?
Greet innocence with Violence
What have you become?
Hear the cries, averting eyes
Up to the skies
Don't see
Blood on her face, this stolen grace
You are condemned
This grace you take
This life you break
Blood on her face, deathly embrace
What have you done?
Greet innocence with Violence
A life undone
Hear the cries, averting eyes
Up to the skies
(Don't see)
Blood on her face, this stolen grace
You are condemned
This grace you take
This life you break
Deathly embrace
Goodbye to Grace

The Rot
05:47
|
|||
Watch the rivers bleed
The Rot descending on all you see
Flee as the sky turns red
The Rot is spreading, your world is dead
Mourn the earth diseased
The Rot relentless can't be appeased
See the trees in flame
The Rot unstoppable, your world is claimed
Caught
In the tide
Of pestilence
Nowhere to hide
Trapped
In the surge
Of contagion
An endless scourge
Rise the voices of the damned
Choral screams across the land
Fall the bodies of the lost
Drenched in scarlet from the rot
Thrown
In the sea
Of destruction
Hear the plea
Condemned
To decay
The curse you brought
Consumes always
Rise the voices of the damned
Death and judgement near at hand
Fall the bodies of the lost
Drenched in ruin from The Rot
Flee for your life, as The Rot pushes onwards
Dragged to the depths, of the bed you've made
The Rot is calling to you
Welcome her embrace
The Rot creeps close behind you
Turn to see her face
Feel her right beside you
From The Rot there's no escape
Flee for your life, as The Rot pushes onwards
Dragged to the depths, of the bed you've made
Grasp for the threads, of the light dissipating
Sink in The Rot, of a world decayed

The End
02:28
|
|||
I walk alone
Through fields of bone
Faces turned to stone
The streets of gold
Were once foretold
A story left untold
I have no fight
Try as I might
My kingdom was my right
Can you see me now
Can you see me bow
A crown defaced
Laid to waste
And now I’ve been disgraced
One final word
Sounds absurd
Regret now must be heard
Once a king
Slowly fading
Now to my life I cling
Can you see me now
Can you see me bow
All kingdoms fall (brace for the end)
All kingdoms fall
Al kingdoms

All Kingdoms Fall
06:24
|
|||
Castles made of sand, the tide won't withstand
Walls of might and grace, cracks spread upon their face
Rage against the night within the dying light
Eyes that once did shine now are going blind
Now's the time
Brace for the end
Unbreakable will starts to bend
No longer standing up tall
The ashes will reclaim us all
Claim us all
For All Kingdoms Fall
Where once harmonised dissonance now thrives
No longer voices sing, silence deafening
Bearing summer's skin against the winter's wind
Hand's that used to hold now lie pale and cold
The tale is told
Brace for the end
Unbreakable will starts to bend
No longer standing up tall
The ashes will reclaim us all
Claim us all
For All Kingdoms Fall
Time won't stumble
Towers crumbling
I won't be deceived
Now I can see
This is the end of me
All things must end
Darkness descends
Now I stand fast
Each day is my last
Brace for the end
Unbreakable will starts to bend
No longer standing up tall
The ashes will reclaim us all
Claim us all
For All Kingdoms Fall
