Assassins 05:50
welcome to the sanctuary come honor all that fell before we’ve sharpened the blades we carry we’re washed up on these bloody shores hold steady in place the order that I give we’re ready we’re taking back the way we live I’ve never wanted a taste of you I only wanted to taste the truth I’m cutting you out for my sake spilling the blood as you wake forget all the prayers that you make I’m sure you’ve heard I’m your assassin welcome to the mortuary you’ve never seen this place before legend as they speak be wary will shake you right down to your core I’ve never wanted the blood you shed I only wanted to chase the dead I’m cutting you out for my sake spilling the blood as you wake forget all the prayers that you make I’m sure you’ve heard I’m your assassin I’ve never ever wanted to get a taste of you I’ve only ever wanted to get a taste of truth I’ve never ever wanted to have to hear your lies now I’ve gone and got you hypnotized I’m cutting you out for my sake spilling the blood as you wake forget all the prayers that you make I’m sure you’ve heard I’m your assassin

Imitator 04:15
fear setting in beneath my skin this twisted feeling caught up in he act again betrayed by my blood my closet friend what is love without meaning? what is peace without feeling? I’m just getting this feeling you’re imitating what’s a life with devotion? what is heart without motion? all the games that you’re playing I just can’t get it right this chapter ends closure begins I’m taking over caught up in he act again betrayed as another means to an end what is love without meaning? what is peace without feeling? I’m just getting this feeling you’re imitating what’s a life no devotion what is heart without motion? all the games that you play I just can’t get it right walls are falling down this is the final act I’m closing down crashing to the ground how will you live knowing I’m not around I’m taking control now where will you go it’s too late now your apologies can hit the fucking road hit the road what is love without meaning? what is peace without feeling? I’m just getting this feeling you’re imitating what’s a life with devotion? what is heart without motion? all the games that you’re playing I just can’t get it right

Born To Wage 03:56
unmarked for war so let them fall before me the end before your eyes man are you listening? before your spirit meets the steel one thing make sure you know my blood was made for heads to roll unmarked in darkness the end is near see this is the age marked in my thirst for hunger weapons forged in rage weapons to take you under blood was born to wage this is the life for all my days there is no other way know I was born to wage told you before our time is now so do you get my meaning we’re crossing this line again we’ve come to tow the line up to the very end see this is the age marked in my thirst for hunger weapons forged in rage weapons to take you under blood was born to wage this is the life for all my days there is no other way know I was born to wage this is the end I can feel your last breath leaking out this is the end now I can see your eyes fading black now this is the end I can hear your voice I don’t fear you this is the end I can taste your blood we’re crossing these broken lines again we’ve come to tow the line up to the very end see this is the age marked in my thirst for hunger weapons forged in rage weapons to take you under blood was born to wage this is the life for all my days there is no other way know I was born to wage

Retaliation 04:33

Dark Holes 04:46
feeling this blackened sun plunging into darkness where my torment has begun searing this very soul there’s nothing there beneath me there’s been nothing left to hold as my conscience fades away drawing closer to the grave there is nothing left to say so release me how can I love you if all you ever do is call on me? how can I show you if all you ever seek ain’t what you need? how can I know you? reaching further only brings me grief but how can I leave you now? dark holes are deepening round and around we go preparing your excuses all these tears are just for show wrapping around my brain protecting your own ego I’m about to go insane as my conscience fades away drawing closer to the grave there is nothing left to say the time has come to lead the way let your wicked ways decay I won’t let you slip away and away again dark holes run deeper dark mountains steeper and now you’re stepping in shit how can I love you if all you ever do is call on me? how can I show you if all you ever seek ain’t what you need? how can I know you? reaching further only brings me grief but how can I leave you now? dark holes are deepening

Liberation 04:46
our words are sealed inside as the world passes us by see, you gave me solace under the sky in the heat and rain I know you are with me I have waited too long don’t forget me fly with me flow with me you are not alone release me as far as you will ever see I’ve been here all along our secret’s here to stay as the world spins everyday take flight and dream your nightmares away in the heat and rain I know you are with me I have waited too long in the dark of night you’ll never leave me and I’ll remain ever-strong as the rising sea fly with me flow with me you are not alone release me as far as you will ever see I’ve been here all along I walk the line between whatever comes against you I will fight oh I I’ll tow the line even if it means the end of my own life in the heat and rain I know you are with me I have waited too long don’t forget me fly with me flow with me you are not alone release me as far as you will ever see I’ve been here all along

Demoness 03:40
oh she’s right behind you she’s coming to greet you she’s come to welcome you to the grave and all she needs is one thing a heart that is clutching she’s needs to make sure you behave oh welcome home your new master prepare to burry your pain oh just feel your heart beating faster your will is tied to the chain feel your will depleting deprived of all meaning your soul it shrieks again and again but the only one to blame here look dead in the mirror it’s time to take control of your shame oh you must become you own master so standing up to your pain oh just feel your heart beating faster it’s time to shake off these chains I don’t care what they say I don’t care away I just care enough to not go insane I don’t care how she treats you don’t care how she needs you she’s come to tap the blood from your veins she’s the demoness the venom has spread throughout mankind and I’ve tried to throw out that lifeline I don’t really care what they may say to me you serve that demoness I’ll tow the line no more games she’s taken from me no more chains I don’t care what they say I don’t care away I just care enough to not go insane I don’t care how she treats you don’t care how you see the demoness must be slain she’s the demoness

I dug out your grave while you were smiling there’s no better time to break the silence you’ve wondered for years why we’re divided let’s reveal the truth that you’ve been hiding all the while you’re crying I’m sick of these games I’m tired of delays I’m tired I’m tied to flesh and blood I’m tied to flesh and blood forget the old ways keep tapping those veins beneath the skin flesh and blood is why I’m closing in you think that your fury has deterred me blood thick as the mire yet undeserving I think that your ways are worth unlearning beware of the fire forever burning all the while returning I’m sick of these games I’m tired of delays I’m tired I’m tied to flesh and blood I’m tied to flesh and blood forget the old ways keep tapping those veins beneath the skin flesh and blood is why I’m digging in just let go just leave the past behind why don’t you just let go and let the future decide why don’t you just let go I’m sick of these games I’m tired of delays I’m tired I’m tied to flesh and blood I’m tied to flesh and blood forget the old ways keep tapping those veins beneath the skin flesh and blood is why I’m closing in

Life In Fire 04:25
you said something to me about living and learning oh but you chose to take the back way while I was burning hey don’t you see how I have listened to your every word? oh and the fire that once consumed me has made its turn for the last time now I’ve buried the pain beneath my distant nightmares it ain’t about where I’ve been but how I got there oh don’t you see how I’ve been forged in your very wake? oh endlessly I’m cleaning up for your past mistakes for the last time now a day in the life you would be searching for something a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire a day in the life you would be looking for nothing a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire go, why don’t you know? it’s taken away but I need to work harder no, why don’t you go? I’m facing defeat now I need to act smarter go a day in the life you would be searching for something a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire a day in the life you would be looking for nothing a life in the fire won’t be taken away from me it’s time to face that fire

Paracynic 04:33
I have an admirer playing my life as far as they will go it’s hard but this game you’re playing is done as far as you will know you’re addicted to me I’m addicted to you we’re stuck and forever sinking it’s time for us to face the truth so quit your complaining your lost inside that lonely look I can’t keep explaining you’re blind you’re a damned paracynic you’re twisted inside you’re saying but I can’t believe a single word I have no desire to reach you much more forget all you have heard I’m addicted to you you’re addicted to me you’re all out of lame excuses I’m tired why don’t you let me be so quit your complaining your lost inside that lonely look I can’t keep explaining you’re blind you’re a damned paracynic I’m addicted to you you’re addicted to me we’re stuck in this game explaining once more why we will never be you’re addicted to me I’m addicted to you we’ll never submit and we’ll never forget and that’s fucking issue so quit your complaining your lost inside that lonely look I can’t keep explaining you’re blind you’re a damned paracynic
11.
Tight Rope 04:34
I feel it beneath my skin beneath my very soul it’s just like I cannot win my eyes seek to criticize they seem to overlook those times that I told you all these lies this place seems to medicate this tightened rope inside confines my actions to the circus I hear deep inside my mind buried deep within my spirit I cannot hide my voice speaks a bitter word lost to my own preconceptions a voice you’ve never heard this place seems to medicate this tightened rope inside confines my actions to the circus nightmares seem to threaten me the final act you’ll never know we balance on the tight rope I walk the line between spaces where you’re heart and voice collide I walk the line between the peaks and cracks where you hide all you lies I am inside I am inside this place seems to medicate this tightened rope inside confines my actions to the circus nightmares seem to threaten me the final act you’ll never know we balance on the tight rope
