DEAD END
Where have we gone wrong?
Can we stop to think of what we’re doing now?
Spilling our brother’s blood
What will it take to end the suffering?
Falling to hate, fuck humanity
We’ve lost our way
A child lies slain
Provoking pain
For those who lie slain
Bullets fly through the air
Death is all around
Blood stains the books
Taint the hallowed ground
What will it take to end the suffering?
Falling to hate, fuck humanity
We’ve lost our way
A child lies slain
Provoking pain
For those who lie slain
Chorus:
Turning many hearts to stone
Leaving a void in their homes
Laying their children to rest
Before they had a chance
Preaches spew across the air
For what is that we stand?
Take a moment to infer just what we’re living for
Where have we gone wrong?
Can we stop to think of what we’re doing now?
Spilling our brother’s blood
What will it take to end the suffering?
Falling to hate, fuck humanity
We’ve lost our way
A child lies slain
Provoking pain
For those who lie slain
Chorus

Lockdown

LOCKDOWN
Subconsciously thinking again
Insanity brewing inside my head
Dreading the moments, wanting to die
This solitary state of suicide
Deafening, silence rings
Between the ears, nothing to think
My rational, enemy
Perpetual lobotomy
Insanity, nothing makes sense
Sight of the reaper, leads me to death
Ease the pain, unrest persists
My disease, white coat diagnosis
CHORUS
I’m on the run
Away from me
A hunter, a hound
Escaping lockdown (lockdown)
Live for the kill
Dream of escape
Awake from slumber
Still bound in chains
Die! Wishing to be breathless
Liberation from hell
Cannot focus my eyes
Cannot understand
Why! I spew in my own distress
Cerebral punishment
Solitary hold
Lockdown takes its toll
I curse the day
Why must it exist?
For all that I want
Is to be unborn
Insanity, nothing makes sense
Sight of the reaper, leads me to death
Ease the pain, unrest persists
My disease, white coat diagnosis
CHORUS
No escaping all the thoughts that are stuck in my head
Please make them go away
Trapped in my mind I toss and turn all night
I cannot figure myself out
Drowning in the waters of my insanity
Gasping for one last breath
MY eyes roll back into my head, body convulses
Now I’m lost forevermore
CHORUS

WASTELAND
Walking to these parts unknown
Trying to clasp onto my soul
You’ll never break me
Walking through the gates of hell
Surrounded by creatures from the veldt
You’ll never take me alive
Chorus:
Just when I thought that this wasn’t true
I was dragged down to see you
Don’t know why I’m in this strange place
Is this all just a dream?
Walking to these parts unknown
Trying to clasp onto my soul
You’ll never break me
Walking through the gates of hell
Surrounded by creatures from the veldt
You’ll never take me alive

ELF REVOLUTION
The elves asleep, us bound and gagged
The colony’s gate, escape up ahead
Behind us, they’ve come again
The elves are on the attack
Their pointy ears, eyes filled with rage
They’re coming for us, hearts filled with hate
As we run, engulfed in the forest
We can see, their glow right behind us
Our traps have been set
The prisoners will not escape
Their efforts are all in vain
Pointy ears show us the way
Our camp lights just up ahead
We pull away from the attack
The glow starts to dim, we lock the gates
With our ales, we celebrate
Your party time, it has to end
We are too drunk, we don’t understand
Your fortress’ fence, through we have pranced
How did this happen? We fell for their plan
Chorus:
Revolution!
They’ve come for us all
Revolution!
The elves are back for more
In pursuit, their speed is too much
This undertaking, what have we done?
Rage in their eyes, staring at us
They’re gaining ground
Escape them we must
Our traps have been set
The prisoners will not escape
Their efforts are all in vain
Pointy ears show us the way
Our camp lights just up ahead
We pull away from their attack
The glow starts to dim, we lock the gates
With our ales, we celebrate

TURNS TO GREY
Your face I see
Eyes of hope
Shimmer in the night
How I want to hold
All these years
I can’t get back
Where has time gone?
I’ve been away for far too long
Chorus:
As the world turns to grey
All the time we’ve spent away
Won’t take back the love we share
I promise I’ll be there
And if you are to cry
I will wipe away your fear
Baby I will dry your tears
Calling out your name
But no one answers
Alone I face the world
I’ve been away for far too long
All these years
I can’t get back
Where has time gone?
I’ve been away for far too long
Chorus
When all seems lost
What time took away
We cannot get back
Our life’s astray
Chorus

A Good Day To Die

A GOOD DAY TO DIE
Our men march to the shoreline
The wind rips through their hair
A battle on the horizon
Outnumbered and unprepared
Forever we stand
Together we fall
Forever we stand
Together we fall
The horse’s hooves are pounding
On our untainted land
Valiant, our men hold the line
Into death’s eyes they stare
Chorus:
I call out to the end
The end of my life
Remember me when I’m gone
What a good day to die
The swords crush our armor
Our blood flows today
There shall be no surrender
No prisoners and no slaves
Forever we stand
Together we fall
Forever we stand
Together we fall
The horse’s hooves are pounding
On our untainted land
Valiant, our men hold the line
Into death’s eyes they stare
Chorus
Solo: Kraus
The axe cuts my throat
On my blood I choke
I look to the sky
I know I have fought
With honor and heart
I gave all I could
I take one last breath
As my head snaps back
I fall to the ground
The list line fallen
Concede in defeat
The end has come
To Asgard we arrive
The gates of Valhalla
We join our brothers in arms
Prepare for Ragnarok
Chorus
Solo: Shankle

ENDLESS HORIZON
Wasted days and useless nights
Cycle of sorrow in our lives
How long will we wait for our time?
Unraveling and come undone
We put our heads down and struggle on
Look out to the bleak horizon
We stand alone in this world
Choices made for us all
We won’t be what you want us to be
Please understand I’ll make my way
On my own I’ll never stay
Why is it such a hard life to live?
Thrown to the ground, on our knees
Dirt kicked into our face
You will never break our desire
Chorus:
The tide is closing in
The ship is sailing on
Into the setting sun
The moonlight shines in our eyes
Another day passes by
And we’re still waiting for the perfect time
Complacency rules our world
It’s in our heads, we have to go
We must not wait another moment
We stand alone in this world
Choices made for us all
We won’t be what you want us to be
Please understand I’ll make my way
On my own I’ll never stay
Why is it such a hard life to live?
Thrown to the ground, on our knees
Dirt kicked into our face
You will never break our desire

WHAT LURKS BENEATH
Adventure for three
On a moonlit night
Upon rocky seas
They’ve set out to find
The mysterious
A legend’s tale
Monster of seas
Will they live to tell?
Land disappears
They’re left to sail
No signs of life
It seems they’ve failed
But then a roar
Rings in their ears
Out of the fog
Nessie appears
Eyes of terror, ten feet tall
Its slimy spit onto the bow
The boat it rocks when fear sets in
For the men, this is the end
Chorus:
Scream for mercy
But it’s all in vain
Sometimes it is best
To let the unknown rest
One-by-one they die
The beast will eat
Their necks break through force
The skin cut by teeth
Slowly he feasts
Savors the taste
Of human flesh
Appetite content
The mysterious
A legend’s tale
Monster of seas
No one to tell
They’ve disappeared
Boat abandoned
No signs of life
Fatal discovery
Eyes of terror, ten feet tall
Its slimy spit onto the bow
The boat it rocks when fear sets in
For the men, this is the end
Chorus
Solo: Kraus
Chorus
Life has been cut short
The trek is now over
It will remain unknown
A legendary myth
But for those men
Who felt Nessie’s wrath
The legendary myth
Really does exist

SCARS OF ARMAGEDDON
A day like any other
Morning rush commute
Eight hours on the time card
What they’re born to do
The kids were at the schoolhouse
Their lives in front of them
The bell rang to end the day
And signaled the end
Chorus:
Left behind on earth
The battle rages on
The world is set ablaze
Cast to Gehenna
But we’re still alive
We’ll never back down
We are the Scars Of Armageddon
Who can save us?
Broken salvation
Who will save us?
From this damnation
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
We stand together
Nothing will break us
We won’t back down
We’re the Scars Of Armageddon

FINAL IMPACT
Speeding down the drag
Increasing speed, going mad
Burning midnight oil
Creatures of the moon
Keeping the pace, the miles become one
Focused on tomorrow, forgetting to live today
Turn it up! Burning the rubber
Shift the gears! Hear the engine scream
My life flashes before my eyes
Losing all control, I don’t want to die
My head slams against the wheel
Blood flowing from my eyes, the wounds will never heal
Slip out of consciousness
Heartbeat getting faint, body going stiff
Death off the beaten path
Will they ever find my final place of rest?
Chorus:
Full speed ahead, not looking back
Running away from everything we have
Too hard to stop, to seize the day
The wheels keep churning, wishing life away
Transition into sixth gear, heading for disaster
Liquid courage is gone, bottle’s empty, double vision
A hard right turn, it hops the curb and starts to roll
Down into the ravines
Severe whiplash, all goes black
Turn it up! Burning the rubber
Shift the gears! Hear the engine scream
Chorus
The world goes dark
My eyes roll back
A fatal impact
