ANTHEM
All music and lyrics by James Byrd

1. ANTHEM ~ DEALT BY DARKNESS ~
As the dust of death
Seals them in its breath
Images of war
Cut me to the core

As for whats been done
- It has made us one

I'll tell you why
There's no shame in tears we cry
We all share the wounds that they have made

My heart breaks
In dust and ruins dealt by darkness
All their dreams scattered to the winds

Take this fight for freedoms call to those who know
We still stand as one voice

2. OMEN
I see the times have fallen into line
Of the prophecy which came upon our time
Anarchy will rule until the One makes peace
One who's be feared above the hateful beast
He shall feed their hearts in hopes of peace

Can you sing the masters song
Virgins know it won't be long
Don't be late

Can you see the fear filled skies?
As the dancers spin their lies
Can you see the wind's in pain
Righteous deeds in vain

Slay the keeper in the court
Don't be late

Every problem answered he will be received
Openly appearing to a world deceived

Laws and times are changed
Old words false and strange

Omen brings his wisdom forth
Arms laid down within the north
Peaceful words the masses numbing
Numbers match a second coming

Here I ask the questions that you've never heard
Wisdom gives you minds to seek beyond the word
Two hundred and twenty two to give you heed
Minus what is known the number of his creed
Look beyond the veil and you will see his seed

~ refrain ~

Minstral strums - Omen comes
Don't be late

3. MESSAGES FROM HOME
There's no time to waste tonight
Hold your tears - see the light
Fortunes change in the blink of an eye
Set your course it's time to fly

Bringing them down - bring them all down

Know this time you're not alone
Keep the pictures of our home
God-speed I wish you well this time
Let them know you're bringing hell

This times different - you know why
They have come - time to fly
Their hopes bring us evil days
Cursing us - anthrax haze

Please - waste one for me make them all bleed

Keep the faith and hope we've shown in you
Bring them messages from home
All the rage I came to feel this day
Take my hate and make them pay

~ refrain ~

4. SOME DAY (Dedicated to those who lost their loved ones September 11th)
I see the heart break you feel this night
Nothing that I can do to make it right

You don't know when you'll feel the light again
Wipe your tears away - you'll go on

Some Day there will come a time for you
When all your dreams come true

Some Day you will see within your heart
Then you'll make another start
A brand new start

See how they sacrificed - it seems in vain
To one who only knows - their tears as rain

Only you can know - how deep is love?
I hope that you find your peace in God above

You don't know when love returns for you
Your rage passes by - you'll go on

Some Day time will seem a friend again
Then you'll look upon their spirits in the wind

Feel their love - they're telling you they live
Deep inside the wisdom that they give

~ refrain ~

Still you curse the ones who brought this fate
As your tears depart you live for hate

Only you can know - how deep is love?
I hope that you find your peace in God above

5. ALL I WANT
Upon my countenance
The windows break the rain
In the darkest thoughts I think
They walk within my brain
In the city of bright lights I walk alone
To dreams they lost to darkness
Where angels shown
In all your wisdom so hard earned
You called them to your way
While the others wept and starved
You looked upon this day

They don't want to end their little game
Selling you the reason of their fame
You know they're not real

All I want is freedom to live my life
All I need is peace now - an end to strife
Take my hand from the wheel upon my soul

And as all your faithful
Took wing upon the stage
Of their bones you fed
Machines and claimed yourself a sage

All I want is for you to ask me why
All you need to make it - only lies
Take my hand from the wheel upon my soul

~ refrain ~

6. KILLING MACHINE
They'll tell you rules are there - they are
See them and raise the bar
Know only that they're there to guide
Learn them and break them wide

Fools tread where others fear to go
The fool who never knows
This time is here to find your way
Break out and seize the day

When you want to make the changes
Know the strangeness of this game
You know that you're just a -Killing Machine

Every option for this battle
Shoot to kill you don't get rattled now
You know that you're just a - Killing Machine

Weapons grade material for you
Got the good to play the tune
Take my lead and see the motion
Beneath the deep end-run
My vision here is not to doubt
See how the roads lead out

~ refrain ~

There's no reason to hear the sameness
Know the strangeness break the ice tonight
You know that you're just a - Killing Machine

All together you'll find new roads
Heavy weather brings a coming storm
You know that you're just a chilling machine

~ refrain ~

7. THANK YOU
Our first days were trouble free
An evil time would come to me
I was broken like a potter's vase
I soon felt the demon's mace

Didn't know if I would stand and heal
Knew the pain was all I'd feel

Couldn't know what the future would be
Still you stayed - gave your love to me

I only want to say to you

Thank You for being my friend
Taking care when I couldn't bend

You and I have been through so much
Hope and despair in our hearts when we touch
Time together - the love has been earned
Trial by fire and we didn't get burned

Trust in you has grown every day
We have a bond that has shown us the way

I only want to say to you

~ refrain ~

The fear is gone and we're not alone
You and I have made this a home

I only want to say to you

Thank You for loving me
Unknown times that you could not see

Thank You for helping me through
I know there was so much to do

~ refrain ~

Thank You - you waited for me
Thank You - Thank You
For being my friend

8. THE PRICE OF WAR
Beneath the mercury
Vapour lights upon the sea
I know why I came here today

I know that I'm their tool

All my life I've left behind me
For their cause became mine to see

To see that we are one
Forces not to come undone
To rule the sea with steeled resolve

I know that I'm their tool

Fortune smiled upon this day
Time apart in duty's way
No time in my heart for weeping
I am strong tonight

~ refrain ~

War will be the way to end this
Day for the truth
War to end their darkened spirit
In my only youth
This is the price of war

Kerosene fumes in my clothes
Nitrate sulphur burns my nose
Sign my name on missiles fired
They know that they are through

God I miss my wife tonight
Thoughts of her to bring some light
Wonder how the kids are sleeping
Now I play God

War will bring our will to power
In this final hour
War to end their dark oppression
This will be the price

This is the price of war

9. ONLY LOVE ~ SHELTER FROM THE STORM ~
There's no freedom in the way they think
Dark oppression takes us to the brink
I don't know what peace our time will see
Just that war and ruin came to me

I can't see the end-game
All the angels say to me is

What has been is what will be
As time comes to it's end
Only Love can build the shelter
From the storm my friend

They have been fallen into self-deceit
Putting men beneath the hate they preach
They live in a world that's never grown
Backwards minds build nothing they can show

Fear is all that they know
All the angels say to me is

~ refrain ~

Their god rules their minds by war and force
Evil men who set a fateful course

They have made their own way
They don't see the truth we see when

Children seek the light of Truth
Within the bread they break
Never knowing what has come
Behind the hand they take

Dawn awaits the morning breaks
And the fear is what they eat
In the land that time forgot
Dust beneath their feet

What has been is what will be
As time comes to it's end
Only Love can build the shelter
From the storm my friend

FLYING BEYOND THE 9
All music and lyrics by James Byrd.

1. FLYING BEYOND THE 9
Everything's alright - Far beyond the 9
You will see the lights in dreamland
Shine beyond the nine

Just close your eyes - look within the night
You'll see the future's still there

The time is come - leave behind this
Arrogance of man's reason

Four messengers - hold back your sight
'Till the time is midnight

These things you fear - come to you on
Wings born out of light you can't see

You're not alone through this night

Everythings alright - Far beyond the nine
You will see the lights in dreamland
Shine beyond the nine

You realize, you're no longer blind to
Unseen forces changing

Why ask yourself, why it happens
Ask yourself, why not here now?

The times at hand - wisdom's useless
There's no way to save yourself

Turn to God - only faith will bring the peace
That you seek

You're not alone through this night

~ refrain ~

Come with me tonight Far beyond the nine

2. DARK HEART
In the fading light beyond the straights
Where the men who rule gave council to kings
We ate no flesh - we dreamed no dreams
Our thoughts became sinister things

By the ferry's sail we came to empty shores
No one knew we brought war

Sunrise upon my heart
Waiting ships do oceans call
Pretty one on golden wing
Is your wisdom in your king?

When you were crushed – no one to help
All's well that ends In our dark hearts – in our dark hearts

Beyond Okeanos we lived for wealth and greed
'Till the mortals wept beneath the seas
Waiting for the time to break the deep black brine
Cycles bring the end – to this day we live as men

~ refrain ~

In our Dark Hearts – three rings driven through
Dark Hearts – we wash the earth of you
Dark Hearts – filled with strife and hate
Dark Hearts – these hearts become your fate

3. W.T.O. [WE TOOK OVER]
Gonna take them on – bring the war at dawn
Break the borders and the mind they gave us
Don't negotiate – let them meet their fate
Sell the mantle – buy a sword they flee from

Run away – you don't know when you're time is over
Here we stand – crying out to the voice you cover
No more lies – burning down
The third world you're blind

When they meet at night – behind doors shut tight
Turn the light on and they run like rats now
Now has come the day – we have seen the way
No one going to go uncalled to take sides

~ refrain ~

No more lies – bring the war
And all that's left is

No more lies – bring them down
To see rough justice

What did they say?
Always one to paint us in their dreams
You ought to know - It's all been lies

~ refrain ~

No more lies – peace to you
For all your blood lost

4. NEVERMORE
Toying with my life like a cat with a mouse
What made you think I would bend?
Counting my options and trying to stay cool
When did you make up the rules - you're not God

Take it from my angry man
Pay my wage upon demand
My hands are tied by your greed
And to my hurt
My cries have been ignored
Pay what you owe – nevermore

Nevermore –

Tracking your promises – nothing but lies again
Telling me “everything's fine no problem”
They've got a word for this – you better check it out
Everyone's starting to say you're over

On silver string of sorrow flown
Reaping harvests not your own
You never learn this is war
Make your peace – the final score
Pay what you owe – nevermore

Lies become truth – well I don't have time for this
Money won't make you my friend
Think hard – don't want to know you now
God be your judge in the end - I hope so

Took it from my empty hand
Built your mansions on the sand
You never learn this brings war

And all my hopes – my dreams adored
Lost into time nevermore
Nevermore

~ refrain ~

5. EVERYTHING TO ME
When she comes to me – I'll be standing free
Sun-kissed sky cries – it'll be alright
And when her wisdom – shines on me
I'll see you again – my friend

Darkness is fading to memory's way
All of my heart sings

You're everything to me
Take my hand and sail the sea

You're everything I've waited for
Come to me beside the shore

You've been here – so long ago
All your dreams shine – deep down we all know
Blindness follows you – kindness to your soul
You don't know that – you've been sold

~ refrain ~

Like a slave to time – you're in love with me
Love is all you see – not me
I still see your face – the winds of change
Hope cries out – like your pain

~ refrain ~

6. UNITY [WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING]
Upon his wings unity befalls them
Counting times in ways not granted by the King
To eight in ten – these shall stand in truth to
Fate to those who seek the rapture
Sun burst upon the velvet deep within
All light becomes him as the man who's time is near
Sweet sleep in all your glory at the times
Never question when your circumstance is bright

One who's good isn't what it seems
All they ask seems to be one moment
Who will stand upon the mountain?

~ refrain ~

Breath deep for all their wonder at the rhyme
Fortune smiles on those who understand their time

Star-bright upon the darkness of the night
Heaven shines within the hearts who sing in hope
Owe him this; mark his mind in darkness
See him rise to take the King's place in his heart
Few have seen thieves behind the Holy
Twisting truth he takes away pain

~ refrain ~

7. PARADISE TONIGHT
We'll be in Paradise Tonight
As fallen angels we must rise

We live in doubting days
Where fear destroys our peace
We seek the sun to light our way

And though we're hear a short time
We work for things that perish
A little money and it's 'fine'

Always wondering if we can find the time
Steal a minute from the dead who lead the blind
We're almost there now

No more tears
Face your fears
I know that

We'll be in Paradise Tonight
As fallen angels we must rise
To crystal stairways in the sky
We'll build a bridge to paradise

It may seem childish
To dream of miracles
I looked at you and always knew

~ refrain ~

No more tears
Wasted years
I know that

We'll be in Paradise Tonight
On wings of hope we learn to fly
And like the angel's we'll make time
To be in Paradise Tonight

Your dreams are stars upon the night
To make them real your angels fight

And though eternity is here
Your time will end if doubt comes near

We'll be in Paradise Tonight
In gardens dreamed by what is right
In moonless skies we shine as starlight
To learn the truth of who we are
Now we will see

8. ALL OF ME [AN ALLEGORY TO THE CHURCH]
All of me scattered down where green life speaks to
All of them – no use shouting they don't hear your time is far

Run the course – voltage deep she begs of me to
Answer her - outcast prayer to politics of now
And then is where we are in everything

In a time that fell upon us they were takers
No songs in them to lose for all their thoughts are perished like the grass

You and I – been in that she smiles sweetly
In my head - come to her and wrestle
God in everything

Fallen down – seems I took the wrong way out to
Answer her – tell them that I've gone away
For everyone is everything – for all they know

In my head driving out the last chance of the
Hope in you – hope I see you soon before they break me down

Say hello – send my fondest wishes to the
Ones we know – all their social graces mean to
One like me is all their rage at everything

And if you find you're self aware and knowing what it means
Settle in the wiring box and sleep to silent screams

For everything that's happened – to everyone that's lost
In white rooms quiet reason speaks to shelter all she's cost

To watch a blood red moon rise from the bottom of the sea
Of tears she shed in treason to the tool you wouldn't be

In all her light's a way to be against the universe
Nourishing the beast in them like lies in sacred verse

Words ring out through rebuilt walls
And friends have ceased to call
She broke your mind in time for one last show

All lyrics written by Freddy Krumins except track "After The Fire", "Fallen Warrior", "Remember Love" and "Fly To The Sun" written by James Byrd and Freddy Krumins.

01. INTO THE LIGHT
Do you ever feel you were caught in frustration?
Walking like steel, you would scream in desperation
I’m searching for light in the darkness around me
I’ll fight for my life, teardown the walls that’s around me yeah

I’ll tear down the walls
You’ll see the fall
Break away

Into the light – let it shine on me
Into the light – take away the darkness

I’ll wait in the dark in the prison of the mind
Now I see the spark, no longer shall I be blind
I’m held by the light as the walls are closing in
I’ll fight for the jails, for the jails to live again

I’ll tear down the walls
You’ll see the fall
Break away

Into the light – let it shine on me
Into the light – take away the darkness

(solo)

I’m searching fore light in the darkness around me
I’ll fight for my life, tears down the wall that surrrounds me

I’ll tear down the walls
You’ll see the fall
Break away

Into the light – let it shine on me
Into the light – take away the darkness
Into the light – let it shine on me
Into the light – take away the darkness

Take away all the darkness

02. LET IT OUT
Driving through the darkness
Pushing me your hand
Too close to the fire
Living on the edge
Got to get the feeling
Got to have that high
Can’t wait for tomorrow
We’ll leave it all behind

Nothing else can take the place
Just one thing can fill the empty space

Let it out – scream and shout
Let it out – just can’t live without
Got to let it out

Hiding in the corner
Standing out of sight
Stepping through the other door when I see the light
I wait for the daylight
I know how to fly
Can’t wait till tomorrow, we’ll kiss it all goodbye

Nothing else can take the place
Just one thing can fill the empty space

Let it out – scream and shout
Let it out – just can’t live without
Got to let it out

(solo)

Driving through the darkness
Pushing me your hand
Too close to the fire
Living on the edge
Got to get that feeling
Got to have that high
Can’t wait for tomorrow
We’ll leave it all behind

Nothing else can take the place
Just one thing can fill the empty space

Let it out – scream and shout
Let it out – just can’t live without
Got to let it out

03. AFTER THE FIRE
Our world was strong from the star
A feeling deep inside, straight from the heart
Once in a lifetime, like a light in the sky
A dawn of a new day, I saw in your eyes

I never saw the day alone will die
Can’t we hold on?

Jaded hearts can’t feel the heat
After the fire burns
Crying eyes can’t see the light
After the fire burns

Struck on the outside with the passion within
The flame is burning under my skin

I know we can’t let our love burn away
Oh can’t we hold on?

Jaded hearts can’t feel the heat
After the fire burns
Crying eyes can’t see the light
After the fire burns

You slip away
Though we try
Our minds can see the truth
But eyes still alive

(solo)

Jaded hearts can’t feel the heat
After the fire burns
Crying eyes can’t see the light
After the fire burns
After the fire burns
After the fire burns

04. FALLEN WARRIOR
You spend your lifetime
Living out a dream that never dies
You hear the voices call
Calling out in anger from the sky

Many dreams are broken
The failings taken by the wind
Too many words are spoken
You hear the battle cry again

Fallen warrior - hold your hands up high
Dream stealers are fighting for a lie
Fallen warrior - take your war to the grave
Pass your touch to the young and the brave

On our hands to find
The hour glass of time is running fast
The tides are turning once again
Your weapons are just relics of the past

Many lives are taken
You’ll finally feel the pain of sin
Too many words unspoken
So your lifestyle lost again

Fallen warrior - hold your hands up high
Dream stealers are fighting for a lie
Fallen warrior - take your war to the grave
Pass your touch to the young and the brave

(solo)

Look to the stars
Searching out beyond your visions end
Reach for tomorrow
Yesterday will never live again

Many dreams are broken
The failings taken by the wind
Too many words are spoken
You hear the battle cry again

Fallen warrior - hold your hands up high
Dream stealers are fighting for a lie
Fallen warrior - take your war to the grave
Pass your touch to the young and the brave

To the young and the brave
Fallen warrior dream stealer

05 ANGEL OF MERCY
Black clouds darken my day
Storm winds blow me away
I seek the calm before the storm
The sun will make me warm
Sweet child you enter my day
Warm heart you take me away
Bring the light I need to see
The place I’d rather be

Lady luck with good fortune and love
Oh sweet child you’re my angel
Lady luck shine upon me like the sun
Oh sweet love child you’re my angel of mercy
Oh my angel of mercy

Bright sky covers my path
Strong wind that can’t gold me back
I hold the hand that lets me know
You’ll never let me go

Lady luck with good fortune and love
Oh sweet child you’re my angel
Lady luck shine upon me like the sun
Oh sweet love child you’re my angel of mercy
My angel of mercy

Give me chance to start again
So I can win
Give me the touch of lady love
I’ll rise above yeah

(solo)

Ohh lady luck yeah
Sweet child you’re my angel

My sweet love
Oh sweet child
Angel of mercy
My sweet love
Oh yeah yeah come and shine on me like the sun
Sweet love child
My angel of mercy
My angel of mercy

06. DRIVEN BY DESIRE
Knocked down flat on my face
I’ll get back up again
Fire up back in the race
No loser in the end
Fight back don’t let it go
The feeling never ends
I know what I know
I’m on the top again

Each time I fall I can see
That nothing at all will keep me on my knees
Time I’ll be gone
Its there in my sight
I’ll never loose the will to fight

Driven by desire
Desire keeps me pushing on
Driven by desire
Desire will keep me strong

Burnt out the fire is gone
A flicker in the night
But I know it won’t be long
I’ll get back in the fight
Heat up the pressure is on
The time has come to fly
Fly high I’m sailing on
I’ll never let it die

Each time I fall I can see
That nothing at all will keep me on my knees
Time marches on
Its there in my sight
I’ll never loose the will to fight

Driven by desire
Desire keeps me pushing on
Driven by desire
Desire will keep me strong
Keep me strong

(solo)

Knocked down flat on my face
I’ll get back up again
Fire up back in the race
No loser in the end
Fight back don’t let it go
The feeling never ends
I know what I know
I’m on the top again

Each time I fall I can see
That nothing at all will keep me on my knees
Time marches on
Its there in my sight
I’ll never loose the will to fight

Driven by desire
Desire keeps me pushing on and on and on
Driven by desire
Desire will keep me strong
Driven by desire
Desire keeps me pushing on and on and on
Driven by desire
Desire will keep me strong

07. EYE OF THE STORM
I feel the thunder check around
I see the lighting strike
I feel the heat I hear the sound
I see the distant light
I can feel the power inside of me
The strength that I possess
Can set me free

In the eye of the storm
On the edge of heaven and hell
In the eye of the storm
Only faith will break the spell
Break the spell

I feel a fever burning hard
I see the skies of fire
I feel the pressure deep inside
Captured by desire
I can feel the power inside of me
A strength that I possess
Can set me free

In the eye of the storm
On the edge of heaven and hell
In the eye of the storm
Only faith will break the spell
Break the spell

(solo)

I’m just beginning to twist in time
I waiting for the change
I find the winds that blow my mind
Escape the acid rain
I can feel the power inside of me
A strength that I possess
Can set me free

In the eye of the storm
On the edge of heaven and hell
In the eye of the storm
Only faith will break the spell
Break the spell

09. REMEMBER LOVE
Seems like a life time ago when we were together
But then again it seems like only yesterday
The first cut of the knife is so deep
And the pain lingers on in your soul
But look back to the spark in the night
To the burning glow we may never have known

Can’t you remember love?
Tears in the night fall like rain
Can’t you remember love?
Break from this prison of chains
Remember my love
Remember my love
Can’t you remember love?

Their hungry hearts sends a fever to me from far away
And takes me to a time when paradise was ours to share
The cold stone in the dead of the night
To the shadow that stood so tall
We stand now between heaven and hell
Got to look to sky, hear the voices call

Can’t you remember love?
Tears in the night fall like rain
Can’t you remember love?
Break from this prison of chains
Remember my love
Remember my love
Can’t you remember love?

(solo)

Break these chains
That are holding down your heart
Tear down the walls
That kept your lonely soul apart

Can’t you remember love?
Tears in the night fall like rain
Can’t you remember love?
Break from this prison of chains
Remember my love
Remember my love
Can’t you remember love?

09. BAY OF RAINBOWS
(Instrumental)

10. FLY TO THE SUN
Tell me can you hear the winds of war
Echo in the distance like a warning
Forever in the shadows of my mind
Visions of the omens that are waiting

Waiting for the wind to rise again
Weigh my heart against the pain
Give me wings to fly again
Cast my sprit to the sky
Send my soul into the light

In my mind there lies a vision cast of steel
Caressing death and hope immortal journey
Chains upon my heart won’t set me free
Journey to the star of hope for evermore

Bless the day I fly into the sun
Weigh my heart against the pain
Give me wings to fly again
Cast my spirit to the sky
Send my soul into the light

(solo)

Weigh my heart against the pain
Give me wings to fly again
Cast my spirit to the sky
Send my soul into the light
Weigh my heart against the pain
Give me wings to fly again
Cast my spirit to the sky
Send my soul into the light

FIFTH ANGEL

1. IN THE FALLOUT
Waiting in a cold room dark for hours
And the time goes on so slow
Carried by desire for survival
From the crying wind that blows

Day into night you can see their fear
It goes on and on and on
Cold is the night as the time grows near
As we wait and we hide from the fallout

And we cryout
In the fallout from the sky
In the fallout
And we hideout
From the fallout in the sky

(The) aftermath of cold light strikes the city
When the children raid the streets
Tell them they can live their lives in pity
For the dogs who war they lead

(bridge)
(chorus)

Fighting to forget the guilt and violence
But the pain it burns so deep
In their eyes they whisper sad defiance
Of a dream they'll never reach.

2. SHOUT IT OUT
Almost daylight as the watch carries on he sees plans being laid
Always knowing with the time coming near the ones who will be saved

Hear their laughter as they gather around and watch a fool being stoned
Hear their whispers as he raises his eyes and warns of what he has told

And he calls to the world of the coming
In the end they'll be nothing left
Let me touch your soul I'll take you away

Shout It Out -
He calls to the world of the day of the coming
Shout It Out -
In the end you'll see his tears
Shout It Out -
He calls to the world of the day of the coming
Shout It Out -
They'll be nothing left but fear

And they're moving to his chants as if he has touched powers above
His voice soothing the msitrust in the eyes those of which he has come

And he calls to the world of the coming
In the end they'll be nothing left
Let me touch your soul I'll take you away

Shout It Out -
He calls to the world of the day of the coming
Shout It Out -
In the end you'll see his tears
Shout It Out -
He calls to the world of the day of the coming
Shout It Out -
They'll be nothing left but fear

Oh almost daylight as he gathers them all and cries for what he must see
In the darkened skies he feels death descending with cold greed.

3. CALL OUT THE WARNING
Face a dark life they cannot see
Its for their own greed not humanity.
And they make the choice that will be their fall
It's a terror nightmare that they blindly call-yea

And they say that there's no tomorrow,
In the night,
We can only hear their cries-from the dark side-
(That) call out the warning tonight,
From the dark side-
(they) call out the warning tonight.

Safe in power they sit and wait
They can't understand their impending fate
And their cold steel eyes - bleeding hearts of stone,
They can't hear their own, crying souls no.

And they say that there's no tomorrow,
In the night,
We can only hear their cries-from the dark side-
(That) call out the warning tonight,
From the dark side-
(they) call out the warning tonight.

Fight the dark horse you've lived your lie
There's no time for last rites, it's time to die.
Into waiting darkness below you'll fall
Hear the lost souls their warning calls you

And they say that there's no tomorrow,
In the night,
We can only hear their cries-from the dark side-
(That) call out the warning tonight,
From the dark side-
(they) call out the warning tonight.

4. FIFTH ANGEL
In a land far from nowhere
With a false god as their king
They rejoice and sing,
In the night their chating rings.

In the darkness they wander
If its true, or just a spell
They look to the sky,
And they call the Fifth Angel

They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel

In his eyes dark and steady
Feel that time is growing near
In the days to come
Man will hide his soul in fear.

So he stands on the mountain
Sights that echoed as he fell
They stand here hand in hand
At the dawn of Fifth Angel

They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel
They call the Fifth Angel

You know it's a feeling
Like a memory from a spark
It all come together
When Fifth Angel left his mark.

5. WINGS OF DESTINY
Take the children, march them off to war
Only numbered to count up the final score.
Lay in waiting for the end to come
And their only chance is loaded in their guns.

They're riding on the wings - the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings - from so far below
Riding on the wings, the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings, that carry their souls.

In battle daybreak, the field is gray and bare
They feel the presence, of death that's in the air.

They're riding on the wings - the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings - from so far below
Riding on the wings, the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings, that carry their souls.

Take the children, march them off to war
Only numbered to count up the final score.
In the trenches the battle to begin,
And their waiting to ride the wings again

They're riding on the wings - the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings - from so far below
Riding on the wings, the wings of destiny
Riding on the wings, that carry their souls.

6. THE NIGHT
I see on television
Savagery and madness everyday
Our twisted minds are spinning
Coming ever closer to the break

Hide your eyes, don't watch them suffer
Can't you see the action isn't real
See their face uneasy laughter
Maybe its a fear we really feel

Through the night you can't escape what you see
There is no way to be free
You can't escape what you see
There is no need to end this dream

You watch them as they're screaming
Haven't we all seen them here before?
You musn't change the channel
Wait until they scream a little more

Hide your eyes, don't watch them suffer
Can't you see the action isn't real
See their face uneasy laughter
Maybe its a fear we really feel

Through the night you can't escape what you see
There is no way to be free
You can't escape what you see
There is no need to end this dream

Wait is that on the corner
Fighting in the darkness of the street?
Can't wait to see what happens
Just like TV violence that we need

7. ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE
Follow a madness called by your desire
Always unending, driving ever higher

You know how slim your chance is
Trapper here alive
Fighting the circumstances
But you know, in the end, only the strong survive

Only the strong survive
Only the strong
Only the strong survive

Stealing a lifetime things you take for greed
Falling forever, trying to suceed

8. CRY OUT THE FOOLS
Call to me she speaks with evil eyes
Drawn away with whispers of her spell
All escape but leave their souls behind
She has you trapped, inside her private hell

Hear her whisper in the morning light
She's calling you away

Cry out the fools
Taht she takes, in the heat, of passion fire
Cry out the fools
In the night no escaping her desire

Lie with me desire is all it takes
A demon knows your weakness feeds your fright
Bound in chains your spirit she will break
She'll set you free but never leave your mind

Hear her whisper in the morning light
She's calling you away

Cry out the fools
Taht she takes, in the heat, of passion fire
Cry out the fools
In the night no escaping her desire

Hear her whisper in the morning light
She's calling you away
It's just her vengeance in the night

9. FADE TO FLAMES
Here in this silent world, I know its sure
Only in days of cold could I speak the words
Now I'm cast out again, sent far away
There's nothing left of me on my judgment day

Sailing an endless sea
Chained down by the force in the sky
I feel like a criminal
Thats fallen and left to die
If I walked in the land below
I could return from the sea
And he watched s this criminal reached evil
And set himself free

(And) then he came, I did not feel the same
Promises made, then he just fades away

Now he must crawl to me lies burning his soul
If he feels the love again
Then he'll be saved from below
So he looked at him through the door
All the torture and pain in his eyes
There's a feeling I got when he spoke
That forbade me to reach the sky

What did he say? He thought it was all insane
So he might die then burn in fire

Laughing at Satan's door
I could not see where to run
And he looks through me once again
And he knows he has not won
Back in this endless sea
I'm leaving the darkness behind
Back in this silent world
I've fallen and been left to die

What could I say, in the end I'll just fade away
Why should I try, I'd just feed the fire
