1. Announcing The End

When hail and fire
Falls down to the earth
It turns the world into dUst,
smoke and debris

When the burning mountain
Plunges into the sea
As the ocean fill with blood
There’s no way to flee

Help, help, help!
Help, help, help!

The trumpets are playing
Announcing the end
And while we are praying the heavens descend
The land that we walk will be swallowed by sea
With seven waves we’ll cease to be

By the sound of thunder
The prophecy is complete
As the ground under our feet
Slides into the deep

Help, help, help!
Help, help, help!

The trumpets are playing
Announcing the end
And while we are praying the heavens descend
The land that we walk will be swallowed by sea
With seven waves we’ll cease to be

2. Damnation

All doors are closed
Nowhere to go
Nothings gonna save us from this storm
We close our eyes
Waiting for the night
Couldn’t stand the test of time or life

Now we have come to an end

Like the shadows we’ll be gone
We will be dead by dawn
Like the last setting of the sun
Like damnation

We watched the stars
Heavens fall apart
The final ray of light before the dark
The angels weep
A world under siege
Falling into everlasting sleep

Like the shadows we’ll be gone
We will be dead by dawn
Like the last setting of the sun
Like damnation

3. Whatever Come May Be

This is the place where you were born
This is the land you left forlorn
Behind the gates
Behind the walls
Lies everything that you are made of

Whatever come may be
This is our fate, our destiny
Whatever life may bring
Just close your eyes and count to ten
When the night is coming to stay
And death is on its way
Whatever come may be
This is our destiny

Whatever you do, whatever you say
An echo from your forgotten days
You think you are free with a will of your own
But your mind belongs to those who did you wrong
The shadows from the past are coming to life
And this time there’s nowhere you can hide

There is nothing that we can change
What has been cannot be erased
We are falling through time and space

4. Vindication

What is the meaning to this life and all the indignation
How can we live within a lie build on condemnation
It is the price we pay for all our sins
Breathing in our minds
Your first mistake will be the last you make
How could you be so blind?
How could you be so blind?

Is it worth all pain you are bringing in frustration?
You’re becoming a victim of your own vindication
Tribulation of a nation washed away by faith
Proclamation fed by hate
A dying state

There is no reason to your deeds
And your proclamation
You justify your point of view for future generations
This is the life that they have given you
A life you could not choose
And now it is too late to realize
They’re sliding on the truth
They’re sliding on the truth

Is it worth all pain you are bringing in frustration?
You’re becoming a victim of your own vindication
Tribulation of a nation washed away by faith
Proclamation fed by hate
A dying state

5. The Trigger

Wandering through darkness
Searching for light
Hit the rock bottom like so many times
Looking for something but nothing is found
Couldn’t care less if I’m dead or alive

Words are deceiving but fill you with hope
You turn into bitterness then into smoke
Life is a burden but the burden is mine
While I’m still breathing I’m walking that line

Can’t you see me can’t you understand
That I’m falling I’ve lost all control
Now I need you to get up again
Don’t pull the trigger
Can’t you see me can’t you understand
I’ve lost all my senses
Do you know what defines a man
Then just pull the trigger

I could not feed on the fires
That burned in my heart
Nothing could help me
to keep up the spark
Looking for Jesus, looking for life
Nothing could help while I tried to survive

I cannot stay can’t go back again
Leaving what I had
It slipped through my hands
The times are changing
But i stay the same
Counting the hours
I’m counting the days

6. Breathe In The Fire

Like a bird on a wire
I wanna lift higher
But I hurt myself ’til I am numb
This city’s a dead end
I’ve lost all my friends
And nowhere I turn is my home

This strife is in vain for the pain is the same
And God knows our children are lost
This life that we could have has turned into dust
Gotta get out of this place

So take me away to a place where we can stop running
So light up my way
Breathe in the sky
Breathe in the fire

The streets are forsaken
I’m beaten and cold
When death comes there’s nowhere to hide
But I am not scared, I’m not scared anymore
‘Cause living is waiting do die
The future is waiting
A future so bright
Where you will be right by my side
So bring me forever
Bring me the sun
Lift my soul up to the sky

So take me away to a place where we can stop running
So light up my way
Breathe in the sky
Breathe in the fire

I’m so numb and I know that darkness won
Nothing can stay the same
Take this life, take everything I’ve got
God help me to take away the pain

7. One Last Breath

We walk the dead mans world
Night and through day
But nothing else here remains
We see the skeletons
Swallowed by flames
Walk our way

What was the purpose?
What drove us to this?
We saw the signs in the sky
We’ll keep on walking
‘Til it takes us away
Bound to die

We climb the highest mountain
Looking for what?
We chase the shadows away
If this is all we are
It’s time to give up
With one last breath

Throughout the ruins
We will carry the dead
We raise our hands up and pray
But all this darkness
Turns to fear in our eyes
Ends our time

When we are crawling in the gutters of death
And feel the dirt in our hands
There’s nothing left for us
We wither away
Bound to die

We climb the highest mountain
Looking for what?
We chase the shadows away
If this is all we are
It’s time to give up
With one last breath

We walk the dead mans world
Night and through day
Nothing else here will remain
We see the the skeletons
Swallowed by flames
All to blame never the same

8. To The One

We tread the path
We hear the calling
Leading us through night and day
We feel no cold
We feel no hunger
Onward is the only way
So don’t look back

This is forever
No light will shine again
This is forever
When the other world begins
We tread the path
We hear the calling
Our fate is out of hand

Under the dome he’s the one
Under the sky he’s the burning sun
I cannot be what I’m not
I lay down my soul to the one
Before the master we crawl
Before the darkness will take us all
I cannot be what I’m not
I give up my soul to the one

Then death hit us hard
Without a warning
Took our breath
without a sound
Fever led our minds
into a stormwind
Our hearts were weak
And thoughts were blank
Tell me now

Why are we living
When the other ones are dead?
Why are we striving
When nothing seems to care?
I give it up because I’m longing
Longing to understand

Wait to die
On through the night
We fight the dark together
No more fears haunts us in life
As we welcome forever

9. The Dark Appeal

Why are you calling me a liar
Is it because you cannot handle the truth
Why are you preaching to a choir
Is it because you cannot live by your own rules

Why do you cover up in hate?
Why did you start the masquerade?
Why don’t you ever walk your own way?
Why?

Can’t you see that it’s all too late
In a world untrue
At the dawn of the last day
We’ll see the final truth reveal
I am broken and I’ve lost my faith
Because of you
We are caught in a realm of dreams
Inside the dark appeal

The same mistakes you keep repeating
Are taking you towards the end of the line
The same indulgence that you’re spreading
Is leading you into a downwarding spiral

Why won’t you show what you are made of?
Why can’t you speak truth as it is?
Why aren´t you brave enough to bother?
Why?

10. We Are Forever

Watching the sun go down
Turning the sky to blood red
Looking at my own grave
The life that I had is stone dead

We are forever bound for hell
Longing for the day we shall die
We are the fallen
The burning mass
Nothing here can save us now
We chose to take the left hand path
But you can never understand
We are forever bound for hell
And you can never understand

Remember the moon so pale
Dressing the dark in soft light
The creatures they sing their song
Whisper the symphony of the night

Death unfolds while we touch the fire
So get ready to give in
Dreams of blood in an endless night
When we worship the living
Burnt by demons, burnt by sun
Take the cross by your hands
Tongue of liars
Eye of the blind
We’re the lost we’re the damned

11. Thruth Is A Lie

It’s what you’re made of
Anger and pride
Pushing forward letting it out
You burn all bridges to save you from pain
The only way you know to get by

But when you’re all alone you cannot fight the fire
You have to carry on no matter the strain
Time to rewind, ’cause nothing is gained
Your hole inside stays the same

The truth is a lie
A demon that you hide
Fear is a fire you’re keeping alive
You give all you’ve got
But you’re never good enough
Fear is a fire
And truth is a lie

The promises you’ve made don’t mean a thing
When the reality has been concealed
You know you’ve crossed that line
When all your contradictions are revealed

You gotta pay the price for punishing your life
And when you hit the ground you ask yourself why
This isn’t what it seems
Reality is worse than dreams

The truth is a lie
A demon that you hide
Fear is a fire you’re keeping alive
You give all you’ve got
But you’re never good enough
Fear is a fire
And truth is a lie

Faith, I have lost all my faith in you
Late, it’s far too late and I know the truth
Fail, you have failed me for the last time
Pain, all hope is gone but pain remains
