Martyr's Cause

Open the
GATES
Facing the cold
Shoulder to shoulder
Sworn brotherhood
Guarding the future
Nowhere to run
Hell frozen over
Misguided sons
Left here forever
Divided we fight
We control our fate
United we stand
We will not obey
Bend the knee
Take the endless pact
Bend the knee
Fall in line and obey
NO!
I will never be
NO!
What you want me to be
I will be what we need to survive
Damn all your politics
Focus on the threat
Don't make me
BECOME YOUR MARTYR
Succumb to the cold
Shattered resolve
The Cabal ends it all
Flashes of silver
Blood drenching snow
But the fires ignite
With a banishing flame
To serve once again
Divided we die
We deserve our fate
United no more
We will not obey
Bend the knee
Take the endless pact
Bend the knee
Fall in line and obey
NO!
I will never be
NO!
What you want me to be
I will be what we need to survive
Damn all your politics
Focus on the threat
Don't make me
BECOME YOUR MARTYR
Weather the cold
Frozen to bone and
Left all alone
Guarding the future
Beyond the wall
Winter is coming
Threatening us all
Protect the wildlings
Sacrifice made
Debt has been paid
Now dead and betrayed
Protecting the kingdoms
Buried in shame
Playing the game
Now traitor to blame
His watch has ended
Guitar Solo: PL
Guitar Solo: Sam
He gave his life
For the cause
We will honour
The true call
To take up arms
For what is right
To defend all
and bring the fight
Back to the wall
and hold the line
Fell the bodies
Miles wide
Harder resolve
We will not fall
Brothers unite
Against the night
Defend the light
Against the tide
Endless armies
Marching nigh
Banners raised
Steely gaze
War cries
Cacophonies
Bend the knee
Pledge to be
Not to a king
But each of thee
True to word
Word to bond
Martyr's cause
Will live on
Bend the knee
Take the endless pact
Bend the knee
Fall in line and obey
NO!
I will never be
NO!
What you want me to be
I will be what we need to survive
Damn all your politics
Focus on the threat
Don't make me
BECOME YOUR MARTYR

Destiny

Here we go again
Re-telling the same old story
Here we go again
Re-living the same old fantasy
Everything still feels the same
But I have yet to see your face
The planet's energy
Harvested by the world above
The world's technology
Built to destroy the ones we love
Former soldier, lone survivor
I'm here to help us save the world
Let's rewrite history
Let's change our destiny
You can't leave this world behind
This world needs you to survive
This world needs you to stay alive
You cannot die (AGAIN!)
Here we go again
The party's ready to attack
Here we go again
This time we're ready to fight back
The evil corporations
With their failed creations
Will try to blame us for the fall
Haunting memories
Friendly reminders of my past
Ghost like entities
Preventing us from changing course
He's coming for us
He'll try to stop us
He knows we're going to save the world
Let's rewrite history
Let's change our destiny
You can't leave this world behind
This world needs you to survive
This world needs you to stay alive
You cannot die (AGAIN!)
If he was able to come back
Knowing the ending from the start
What does it mean?
She doesn't have to die
for the rest of us to stay alive
She cannot die
Guitar Solo: PLC
Let's rewrite history
Let's change our destiny
You can't leave this world behind
This world needs you to survive
This world needs you to stay alive
You cannot die (AGAIN!)

Redemption
04:40
|
|
||
|
Hopeless and powerless
It's time for you to confess
For the pain you've caused
For the sins you've made
it should be over soon
No need to be afraid
Everyone can make mistakes
Especially when there's a lot at stake
You should never be afraid to fight
But you should always keep in mind
The end in sight
So join the fight, and be a savior
Redemption is the perfect cure for failure
I will teach you how to save yourself
All of the mistakes you've made
They'll be forgiven once your debt is paid
I will teach you how to save yourself
SAVE YOURSELF
You know you've cause a lot of pain
A lot of for momentary gain
It should never be about the past
Just cherish what you have
And try to make it last
MAKE IT LAST
As you finally realise
That being alive comes with a hefty price
Rewriting history
won't fix your dignity
Changing the future
won't bring you closer either
All your questions,
remain without answers
All your prayers,
remain without hope
As you take a look in front of you
You realize there's nothing else
that you can do
So join the fight, and be a savior
Redemption is the perfect cure for failure
I will teach you how to save yourself
So join the fight, and be a savior
Redemption is the perfect cure for failure
I will teach you how to save yourself
Guitar Solo: PLC
All of the mistakes you've made
They'll be forgiven once your debt is paid
I will teach you how to save yourself
SAVE YOURSELF

The Game
05:20
|
|
||
|
You've pointed your finger
And the game is on
Eyes deadlocked
And the battle has begun
Upon your pedestal you stand
With such mirth on your face
A sneer, a vile demeanour
There's nothing in this world you won't own
Upon your throne you've made "yourself"
With such pain on our faces
The sorrow, we've suffered
You don't see that you've overplayed your hand
You’ve made the first move
But your time is up
Your arrow games won’t let you see
That you’ve lost
The best of us know that we've lost
Before the game is played
It's just the fools who are just like you
Who thinks that they can win
So blinded by their egos that
They cannot see what we know
They're just the best
There's no contest
But these rules
They’re not for you
You wanted to play god
Now you've lost all you love
You subscribed to your lies
Now you've lost 'til you die.
Upon your throne you've made with blood
With such mirth on your face
A sneer, A vile demeanour
There's nothing in this world you won't do
You can't see
The life you've left behind
The sacrifice you've made
Of all that got in your way
There's no more room for love
With all your dreams in tow
You cannot see
You've already lost the game
You wanted to play god
Now you've lost all you love
You subscribed to your lies
Now you've lost 'til you die
You wanted to play god
Now you've lost all you love
You subscribed to your lies
Now you're lost 'til you die.

Grave Digger
08:13
|
|
||

If you thought I was evil
BEFORE
Once upon a time
I was an old man
Working late at night
I used to be a grave digger
Looking for treasures
Mementos of the fallen
The silver, gold and brass
The wealth of all the souls
Who have passed
Will be mine forever
Guitar Solo: PLC
The frigid dusk had settled in
And the moon was shining bright
I toiled away to
DIG DIG DIG
Those treasures were nearly mine
The mud was frozen solid
But my shovel had struck wood
The casket started shaking
The dead inside were screaming
RISE UP
FROM THE DEAD
We’re coming back tonight
RISE UP
FROM THE DEAD
We are the revenant
You will not take away
What belongs to me
We’re left here to decay
Just leave us to our peace
The deeds throughout my life
They’re coming to haunt me
The dead beneath me rise
They’re coming to hurt me
The fortunes I seek
The treasures I hold
They’re not mine to cherish
These feelings I have
These memories I hold
They’re coming to kill me
THE DEAD THEY WILL RISE
Once I realized I was a dead man
Fresh meat for the dead
I knew I had to find a way
To stop the masses from
Summoning these creatures
From six feet underground
I must return their treasures
In the same place they were found
RISE UP
FROM THE DEAD
We’re coming back tonight
RISE UP
WE’RE NOT DEAD
We are the revenant
You can’t just run away
You’re welcome to stay
You might rot and decay
Before you get away
The deeds throughout my life
They’re coming to haunt me
The dead beneath me rise
They’re coming to hurt me
The fortunes I seek
The treasures I hold
They’re not mine to cherish
These feelings I have
These memories I hold
They’re coming to kill me
It’s too late to walk away
These defiled souls are here to stay
They will haunt you ‘till you die
There’s no way that YOU CAN SURVIVE
Guitar Solo: Luc
The air stands still
As we’re ready
TO RIP YOUR FACE APART
YOU’RE FUCKING HEARTLESS
The time has come
To start running
Face to face I see their grins
Lipless snarls as it begins
Pleas of mercy all denied
All the treasures cast aside
Screams of terror fill the night
Wails of pain from their delight
The night is silent once again
As their revenge comes to an end
The deeds throughout my life
They've all come to haunt me
The dead within me rise
They've all come to hurt me
The fortunes I sought
The treasures I held
Were not mine to cherish
The feelings I had
The memories I held
They've all come to kill me

The Witch
04:58

|

Back in the day
There was this house up on the hill
Next to the church
Where all the kids would go and play
There was always someone watching
Every time the kids were playing
The house had been empty for years
Until this witch started to appear
She stays
All day
In her house of horror
She stalks
Her prey
Before she takes them away
Nobody knows her name
To her it's just a game
We have to make it stop
We have to get her out of here
We must protect this town
Before she burns it to the ground
If you look through the window
You can see her face
She's standing there in all her grace
Nobody knows what she's like
But she stirs her cauldron day and night
Somebody save her
Show her the light
She stays
All day
In her house of horror
She may
Decay
If we take her away
Nobody knows her name
To her it's just a game
We have to make it stop
We have to get her out of here
We must protect this town
Let's burn this bitch right to the ground
Before we go ahead
We have to make sure she's the one
Before we end up dead
And she goes on the run
We can't let her continue
After all the things that she has done
Her time here's way past due
We must begin the hunt
Ahahahaha
You'll never stop me you wretched fools
My time here has just begun
It's time for me to have fun
She stays
All day
In her house of horror
She will
Fight back
We must prepare for attack
Nobody knows her name
To her it's just a game
Nobody knows her name
To her it's all the same
We have to make it stop
We have to get her out of here
We must protect this town
Let's burn this bitch right to the ground

Reign of Terror

Pathetic humans
Finding their way here one by one
Just to envision
The pain and torture that I’ve done
The gates are locked
To protect your sanity
But if you choose to enter
I’ll make sure you stay forever
I will feed on your pain
I will feed on your fears
Your blood is what I want
A taste is all I need
So here’s my invitation
It’s up to you to decide
If you think you’re brave enough
Please make your way inside
You can hear
The whispers calling your name
Among the horror
The screaming all sounds the same
Now it’s your turn
To lose yourself inside
All right here in
The Castle of Terror
Every time I claim a victim
I can feel their power in my veins
My reign of terror, will last forever
Here on my throne I shall remain
Here on my throne I shall remain
FOREVER
Pathetic mortal
Do you really think that you can win?
Against the King of Terror
Who’s been reigning here forever
I am far superior
Than any mortal being
God will not be your saviour
Against my atrocious creatures
I will feed on your pain
I will feed on your fears
Your blood is what I want
A taste is all I need
All the traps are laid out
Right here in front of you
Watch out for your next step
It might just be your last
You can feel
Your soul is fading away
Among the corpses
A trophy left on display
Now it’s your turn
To rot away inside
All right here in
The Castle of Terror
Every time I claim a victim
I can feel their power in my veins
My reign of terror, will last forever
Here on my throne I shall remain
Here on my throne I shall remain
Guitar Solo: PLC
Everyone who dies inside my palace
Is a meal for me to cherish
Everyone who steps inside my castle
Better prepare for their final battle
Every time I claim a victim
I can feel their power in my veins
My reign of terror, will last forever
Here on my throne I shall remain
My reign of terror, will last forever
Here on my throne I shall remain
Here on my throne I shall remain
FOREVER

No Escape
07:37

|

Halfway off the edge of madness
We’re here once again
Devils gnawing at my fingertips
To get me to descend
No more,
I can’t take it
I’ve tried once again
My grip has been steadily slipping
With each word they’ve said
Whispers crawling in my skull As though
They were writhing worms
Barring their fangs and gnashing away
At my final threads.
I can’t break free
I cannot escape
I’m a slave inside of my own beliefs
Am I still me?
I cannot escape
As I lose my grip on reality
Fingernails are broken at the tips
As i grit my teeth
Take the pain but the blood is spilling
As we get near the end
One slip
I can't take it
I feel I'm falling again
My grip
I'm losing it
And then I let it end
As I break free
I have now escaped
As I lose my grip on reality
Now, I'm free.
Finally
The chains have been heavy
But now I'm stronger
From the weight of the world
Trying to hold me down
Believing there was
NO ESCAPE
And now
As we fall into the abyss
The wonders of the world
Come into focus
Beyond the lensing
We are swallowed whole
And so, consumed
Are we freed?
Forever trapped inside this prison
Is there a reason why I feel forsaken
There has to be a way for me to get out
My sanity needs me to break free
You can’t run or hide
From what’s in your mind
You can’t be set free
There is NO ESCAPE
There's no escape from the gravity
That we've been lured in
We're only going in deeper
Because there is no end
The pull is infinite to resist
There is no leaving here
My mind is only free to exist
Purely within this sphere
I can’t break free
I cannot escape
I’m a slave inside of my own beliefs
Am I still me?
I cannot escape
As I lose my grip on reality
Now, I'm free.
Finally
The chains have been heavy
But now I'm stronger
From the weight of the world
Trying to hold me down
Believing there was NO ESCAPE
