	Album: Metal Reborn Metal Reborn Metal Reborn Close (X) We come from a time when true metal stood strong the screams of our axes heard far. But somehow the music was lost in a mess by poseurs & corporate scum. So we have returned, true metal lives on, metal reborn. Lights, & the stage, & the crowds on their feet, it’s everything that we live for. We gave you our hearts and we gave you our souls, let the flames of the metal pass on; so we have returned. True metal lives on. Metal Reborn. & From the fires of pain & torment we are reborn, filled with fury of those who’ve come before us, And as we rise from the ashes, we shall stand together, for we are many, we are legion SOLO We came from a time all hailed metal stood strong, & the screams of our axes heard far. But somehow the music was lost in a mess, by posers & weak emo scum. But we have returned, true metal lives on, metal reborn. True metal lives on!! Path of Blood Path of Blood Close (X) V1 My best friend bleeds, in front of me. Oh my God, you have forsaken me. (FORSAKEN ME.) All the lives we’ve lost, were they in vein?

When the wells run dry, will we live to see the... TRUTH! SOLO Find the key to your soul, in the path of your blood. & Walk through the door, to be born again. Find secrets divine, the path lies before you, When Empires fall. We’ll be born again. (IN THE END EMPIRES FALL, PATH OF BLOOD,EMPIRES FALL) Never Again Never Again Close (X) Was it something I said, was it something I did, or didn’t do. You give no reasons, you told me lies, you said it’s all right, then you sank your teeth in.

Controlling every move I make, manipulating me to get what you want. I really hope I offended you, I hope it hurt when I sank my teeth in. And I already told you, there’s nothing here for you, turn your back and walk away, I will not forget, the pain you put me through. And you already told me, there’s nothing here for me, turn your back and walk away I will not forget the pain you put me through. Never again. NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN!!!

To try, start over, & now no longer will I rise above. Take it away, I do not want your lies, I can see right through your fucking disguise. Do you remember what we once had was it something that could last forever,(IMPRESSIONS OF LIES) but if I knew then what I know now, I would take it all back in spades.

Impressions of lies, impressions of lies, Impressions of LIES!! Impressions of lies, impressions of lies, Impressions of LIES! So Take! Away! Inferno Inferno Close (X) Search for truth, but I heard it all before, again and again. So we seek out a faith, to give us all the answers where there are none. Yet we see, and let it be, born of innocence into frailty, all alone, I'm not afraid, as I walk in a world that is so cold. And wonder where to go. Event horizon, walk the path in that from what you see you cannot change the wind but you can chase a dream. As I walk alone, as you, find a way to yourself Walk the path in that from what you see you cannot change the wind but you can chase the dream, in a world so cold, so cold, so cold. I will walk without fear, I will face my enemies, In a world so cold, so cold, so cold, and though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I’m No longer afraid; NO MORE! So you see, and let it be, I'm born of innocence into frailty, all alone, I’m not afraid, as I walk in a world that is so cold. And wonder where to go. In a world so, In a world so, In a world so, in a world so cold. Yet we see, & let it be, born of innocence into frailty. In a world so cold. In a world so cold. Darkworld Darkworld Close (X) So what, who cares? I don't. I wont. Will not, do not, hear a single word you say.

Dark Energy Dark Energy Close (X) Walk into madness where spirits they wander, lost inside a dream. Visions of demons,haunting illusions, lost in a world unseen. Travel, through space, and time, into eternity; awakened by the night, we'll rise and we fall. Making decisions through haste and confusion, why do we let ourselves fall. Is it real, or maybe just, a dream, into eternity; as we awake, into, the night, we’ll rise and we’ll. And we'll fall. Fall. Seeking the pleasures with foolish devotion, chasing an empty dream, release the fury, one would still wonder, how did this come to be? In the end, where, will, we be, into eternity; awakened, by the night, we’ll rise, and we'll. And we'll fall. Travel, through, space and time, into eternity, awakened, by the night, we'll rise and we'll. And we'll fall. And we'll fall, and we'll fall. Whirlwind the Void Whirlwind the Void Close (X) It’s only illusion you see, there’s something better so turn it around. So Don’t give up, & don’t give in; to the madness that pulls you right in. Inside, outside, running round in circles; it’s a, game that we play, just to, pass away our time. Some need drama, some need pain, others they search for , someone to blame, well there’s no one to blame, well there’s no one to blame but yourself. Roll, with the winds and the seasons, with body and soul, you will run, with the times and the changes just let yourself go. Roll, with the winds and the seasons, with body and soul, you will run, with the times and the changes just let yourself go. It’s only illusion you’ll see, follow your heart. Inside, outside, running round in circles; it’s a, game that we play, just to, pass away our time. Some need drama, some need pain, others they search for, someone to blame, well there’s no one to blame but yourself, yourself, yourself! Welcome Home Welcome Home Close (X) So hard to see through this darkness, why can’t we just let it go, for reasons, can’t quite explain it. Cause in the end we will fall. As we fall, ride through the winds of the storm, lost in time, ride through the winds, ride through the winds, ride through the winds of the storm. Welcome Home. We long for days ending madness, as we watch the plots unfold. Foretold by profits, and ancients. Come home to us hear them call. As we fall, ride through the winds of the storm, lost in time, ride through the winds, ride through the winds, ride through the winds of the storm. As we fall, ride through the winds where the storms are forever entwined, lost in time, ride through the winds, ride through the winds, ride through the winds of the storm. This life we lead in distraction, so hard to see where to go. No meaning, there’s no direction, so walk the path till you fall. As we fall, ride through the winds of the storm, lost in time, ride through the winds, ride through the winds, ride through the winds, ride through the winds of the storm. Welcome home, welcome home. As we ride through the winds of the storm. Ride through the winds of the storm. Welcome Home. As we ride, through the winds of the storm. Ride through the winds of the storm, Ride through the winds of the storm. Ride through the winds of the storm. Indifference Indifference Close (X) Living lying in my shelter separated from, what I think, how I feel. So I sit here waiting for you desperation from, what I do, how I feel, how I feel for you. Hiding in the darkness? No. Waiting for deliverance? No. Fallen to temptation only demons haunt me now. And I can't take lying here. No. Can't change my ways, nothing more to say. Come on! Look into my eyes, this pain that I disguise I drown myself to numb the pain. Wish that I could stop this, my soul swims in darkness, will I make it another day. Cannot get out.(but you can't, you can't, you can't get out) Sinking feelings, no. no. no., mixed emotions. Illusion or dreams, are they one in the same?

Milf Milf Close (X) Truth, Lies, & everything in between. Love & Hate, it's all the same to me. Yea Its all the same to me.

Tortured Eyes Tortured Eyes Close (X) Beneath the surface are you crying, and though you're hiding out. Did you pretend to be alive? But you're lifeless inside. Something inside of you it screams, something inside of me it bleeds. Did you think, you will see that drowning the fears for something that you did for me! Run with death if you want to live, but only in death shall you begin to finally feel the pain, to finally feel again, denials a luxury that you live, that shuts out, the pain I'm forced to give. Shelter the things that you hold dear. You won't hold them for long. & why must I be the one who's there when you're breaking down again. & why must I be your crutch, bent down when you're breaking down again, why must I die every time I look into your tortured eyes. & why must I be your crutch, bent down, when your breaking down again. SOLO Why tell me, why must I be, your crutch again. Why tell me, why must I be, your crutch again. & why must I be the one who's there when you're breaking down again. & why must I be your crutch, bent down when you're breaking down again, why must I die every time I look into your tortured eyes. & why must I be your crutch, bent down, when your breaking down again.

War inside my head as the voices getting near. The man he lies inside the mirror as I try to get away I can't. Get out. Get out. Get out. No one's at the door, but I hear them creeping up behind me. Laughing deep in silence they cry. They laugh, they laugh, they laugh, they laugh as they call out my name. Voices in my head. Voices in my head. So here I sit I'm all alone. It makes me wonder how can I go on when all I know are lies and hate I've come to know. Lies and hate, they're all I know. Lies and hate I've come to know. Lies and hate they're my own. Deep inside I cry out to be released from my prison cell I want to be free again. Live again. Free again. Live again.
