Break away, seize the day, enveloped in a sea of disarray Create the storm, chaos born, build them up and scorch the earth that stand on I hear them, two faced, lying One heart beat criticizing Rising ablazed, deception erased, chaos reigns Where serpents conquer Valley of lies, we all despise, divinity dies Where serpents conquer Where serpents conquer all Atrocities, in sanctity, follow orders from a mortal entity Bow your head, the noose is set, unless you pay your last gold sovereign Hypocrisy is flowing, halos of blood are looming Rising ablazed, deception erased, chaos reigns Where serpents conquer Valley of lies, we all despise, divinity dies Where serpents conquer Where serpents conquer all Desecrate, contaminate, sacrilege to the true believers Man is born, no sin to mourn, fueled by men who can't control their fears Morality is drowning, rivers of lies are rising Rising ablazed, deception erased, chaos reigns Where serpents conquer Valley of lies, we all despise, divinity dies Where serpents conquer Where serpents conquer all We won't give in to them We won't take hate from them We'll one day live to breathe again Where serpents conquer all of them Blood, shimmers under light of moon No payback time, children of forgotten runes Word has spread of a forest Bear the fruits of a freedom we all crave
2.
An age is born, deranged and torn The people cower out of consternation Blood in their eyes, no more must die Sentries marching causing real insomnia The time of men, all good as dead Bodies lying as they fell all frozen The silence screams, fear it will deem Trepidation causes serpents to enslave Is this the life we live? No sun has shone for days Oppressed, we've lost the fight For all but the wind, it's Silence in Sight Now miles away, the rumours say The cold has fostered only one creation A world of peace, for us he'll seek Massing armies, all incinerated Brave the storm, no time to mourn Fuelling hatred only makes you stronger Many will die, betray and lie Incarceration causes mankind to be brave Is this the life we live? No sun has shone for days Oppressed, we've lost the fight For all but the wind, it's Silence in Sight The race of men, downtrodden and broken Feel the cuts on your skin A land once free is now barren and lifeless No one will sleep, the time has come for us to wake
3.
I remember times like these When peace was gained, a life of ease It's so frustrating, our lives are yearning Not a chance to say goodbye, return again to a lonely life The future's burning, the future's burning But I breath, say the word Call, gaze your eyes beneath the waves Free the scorn Old I'll die, drown this world beneath the waves Take the time and wonder why Our lives are made to live this lie A race of cowards, fold back not onwards Watch on as children cry Too scared to lift a blinded eye Our fear will rule us, our fear will rule us Break away Take back this day Force them back from whence they came The shields are up, now meet your doomsday I've felt it all I've hurt enough Salvation lies No reason why The jagged pierce of torment, quench my thirst Face in the sand This war we'll never win Portraits of death are painted fast My ammunition explodes

Resurgence 05:02
On the ice, no one fights, you fall and freeze as cold as night The tales of men know well March on far to the higher land, march on far to the higher land General’s eyes, gold as hives, orders read by blinded eyes Death lies in apathy Sit back, rejoice and enjoy the ride. Sit back, rejoice and enjoy the ride Free to be the man you are but they’re leaving you with nothing Feel the rain on your skin Your chance has passed, you followed the men who would leave you here with nothing Left you all behind as slaves to shed their skin The time has come at last, claim back our land and past I’ve gone too long and I’m chomping at the bit What lies ahead is wrong, today no song is sung Resurgence, snakely, makes me fall to my knees Blood will flow, heads will roll, lack of judgement, seeds you’ll sow Your kind will weep for this Take them back far to the barren lands, take them back far to the barren lands Crucified, burnt alive, retribution, none alive Your screams will fill the sky None of this freedom for the sons of men, none of this freedom for the sons of men Free to be the man you are but they’re leaving you with nothing Feel the rain on your skin Your chance has passed, you followed the men who would leave you here with nothing Left you all behind as slaves to shed their skin The time has come at last, claim back our land and past I’ve gone too long and I’m chomping at the bit What lies ahead is wrong, today no song is sung Resurgence, snakely, makes me fall to my knees No sleep for those, who wait for them No concsience fills the slow My eyes are playing tricks on me As shadows form their webs around our wayward souls

There wasn't much in this heart of mine Only stars in naive eyes To those days, oh, I wish could return Love only answered to its master's cries Fueling only to my lonely lies A creature buried deep within my mind But keep those eyes away, I'll turn to stone and my heart will flounder Yes, keep those tears away, bury yourself in a pit of darkness Gone beyond this fear I'm dreading I'll take this on alone You'll never find me, dishonour family Believe it all, for we all have dreams Lamentations only last you so long Viewing the world with your eyes to the sun Men have paved a road you cannot stretch The sands of time will bring you freshly awake If only laughing for humanities sake Just move along it's time to meet your fate So keep those eyes away, I'll turn to stone and my heart will flounder Yes, keep those tears away, bury yourself in a pit of darkness Gone beyond this fear I'm dreading I'll take this on alone You'll never find me, dishonour family Believe it all, for we all have dreams Save your tears now Ships not sailing Memories are ripe for picking The future holds a light, just take it I've carried you with me I've taken it all upon me Fulfill your dream, for my own sake At least one of us must live out the life they predict

The Arrow 06:12
Night’s sky, a forger strikes and the new world meets its master Too long has iron lay, a mark of history frayed Kings feast, naive at least to the imminent fall of power The tongue is forked for now, the men will meet their vow The moon is making way Collapsing forces, the tides at bay The tundra’s winds are out of breath Hope will rise out of human flesh Daylight, an invisible sun, bringing life to the frozen millions The ice slays on for days, no sun, no warmth, no rays Bring fire for the moon grows old, he tires in his constant glamour Save me from these chains, incarcerate the rain Go alone, far away, where the eyes of bowman range Your cries are falling on dead ears Run fast, don't look back, they soar above the rest Our friend, the arrow, bring solace back Storms revealing corrupted systems The crowds revolt in disgust, not gracefully No longer will we bow down to this Repeat this oath, no man shall rot to snakes
7.
Welcome back, to the land of the free Only one battle away from the cusp Out march the thousand weak Never set to retreat, for we stand strong tonight All minds and matters freeze Never ending, never seizing to be Standing strong with a view of the land they sing “Heads will roll before me” Hold fast, their time is up An extinction only second to none Spit falls from savage mouths they sing “No son shall fall before us” Throes of fear Look deep into the eyes of the black The arrows soar into a cloud overhead Fall silent for one last breath Only visions of death, feel no fear, forward march Where is the one true son The one who answers, his legend was born Lying maimed with a view of the sword they cry “Take my life with honour” No tale, the age forgets Serpent’s conquered while the clouds onward wept Hope’s name, forever enslaved, the key lies with one forsaken man My wake can only be broken by their hopelessness No more will weep, their sacrifice will quake throughout the age
8.
All I see, is a world confused and tortured History, can I choose a path less forward Let me be, once a man now lying dormant Falicy, all the hope on one man's shoulders I can't take this, light me up All is lost, take my spirit As I'm paralyzed and torn Runes are shown, leaves of red stand tall Can it be, that the one's I've loved betray me I can see, no-one's here to fall at my knees Feel the need, lift the flag, the standard calling Will I bleed, speak the names that move all mountains I can't take this, light me up All is lost, take my spirit As I'm paralyzed and torn Runes are shown, leaves of red stand tall Bring back the shadows of time Where a man will rise up from the bodies I can foresee my fate Within the eyes of a serpent's kiss You are mine now Awakened the rage of a thousand men in one Memories creeping back to save me Sense the light through the door My brother's hand will be there to grab me Pick me up from the floor, I call to arms Peace restrained, hate proclaimed, take me back to my family Your life is mine, you chose to die, tears fall down in my fury Too many lies have you wasted on my ears today No friend of mine you'll slay Many died it's up to me, incinerate No more will come of this I've seen your kind pillage all the wealth from here away Took vines from which I'm sown A mother's love is only stronger than her son's distaste In raping a figure that meant the world to me You won't taint my blood! Live is to die, my memory will never fade away Shine bright for all to see Can you find, an answer to your self pity? Brings pain to all you free Cold stars, are kneeling in my wake, they pray Hope lies in a man today Not with a sword but with an arrow brings the end to snakes No one to witness, they'll cover my win in shame The snakes are dead! I've sacrificed, gave of my blood, shown enemies the tears which I've shed Remember me, let no one repeat. Atrocities like these should be buried forever My only fear is I'll die here forgotten, Remember me... never forget
