Angel 03:26

A star in heaven reigns down up high Celestial wonder in the sky Angelic voices that speak in tongues Singing words of songs unsung Beāta Domina Līberā Dē īrā Against the odds and a beauty unflawed From the kingdom of god she's an angel Burning a flame for a demon you've tamed Be hallowed thy name darling angel Ō lūx æterna, beat still my heart Shining beacon in the dark My mind is racing on hyperdrive She makes me feel alive Beāta Domina Līberā Dē īrā Against the odds and a beauty unflawed From the kingdom of god she's an angel Burning a flame for a demon you've tamed Be hallowed thy name darling angel Salvā mē domina peccāvī Beāta Domina Līberā Dē īrā Against the odds and a beauty unflawed From the kingdom of god she's an angel Burning a flame for a demon you've tamed Be hallowed thy name darling angel

With a gust of the wind blowing cold from the north The army of vengeance assemble in force Silence befalls as the light breaks the sky Holding formation we charge at the cry A volley of arrows that blot out the sun To whittle their numbers before we've begun And thousands of javelins falling like hail Breaking through armor and piercing through mail Razing their fortress to cinders and ash Axes and hammers like thunder did clash Bodies are falling their blood on the sand So noble is he who dies by my hand Brothers I call you for battle I sing To tear down the traitor that calls himself king Will you stand with me and fight by my side Charging to victory with honor and pride Breaking their spirits their bones will be crushed Their treacherous legacy crumbles to dust The forces opposing are set on the run Marching triumphant, the battle is won Raising our banners, our axes and hammers Onward we march to the sound Forward advance with weapons in hand We'll tear the tyrant king down We are honor bound Raising our banners, our axes and hammers Onward we march to the sound Forward advance with weapons in hand We'll tear the tyrant king down We are honor bound

An Oath in Blood 04:35
lyrics

Beneath the earthen arch held aloft by sword and spear we stand We twain with dreary blades red with blood rent across the hand Upon this starless night the gods above us as our witness bear To ancient rituals by which our fathers once before did swear An oath in blood is sworn And through my word is born A sacrament unto a friend. An oath in blood is sworn And by the rites performed Shall carry forth unto the end We are reborn again; the essence of our oath flows through our veins And not a single word nor letter ever of our oath shall wane The promise I shall keep and carry forth with me until my death The words I speak tonight I hold them true with every living breath An oath in blood is sworn And through my word is born A sacrament unto a friend. An oath in blood is sworn And by the rites performed Shall carry forth unto the end Beneath the earthen arch held aloft by sword and spear we stand We twain with dreary blades red with blood rent across the hand The oath in blood I swore I hold upon my honor to defend That as thy brother I shall upon thy death exact revenge An oath in blood is sworn And through my word is born A sacrament unto a friend. An oath in blood is sworn And by the rites performed Shall carry forth unto the end

Another signal intercept Decoding isn't hard except Is this pattern only in my mind Request to have the text re-said Static and the line goes dead Perhaps the fault our stars are misaligned I am left here questioning My thoughts would interfere Your silence though is deafening Your message now I hear Loud and Clear Loud and Clear Just say the words to make me disappear Loud and Clear Loud and Clear That you don't even want to see me here Hoist the flag and semaphore Or telegram in days of yore Either way communication's jammed Another hand of time has passed We better think of something fast Because the ship is sinking where I stand I am left here questioning My thoughts would interfere Your silence though is deafening Your message now I hear Loud and Clear Loud and Clear Just say the words to make me disappear Loud and Clear Loud and Clear That you don't even want to see me here Loud and Clear Loud and Clear Just say the words to make me disappear Loud and Clear Loud and Clear That you don't even want to see me here

In Your Wildest Dreams 04:02

Behold the waves of the rising tide Crashing on the shore Gathered back by the mountain high To carry back once more Neon lights that pierce the night And set the world a-glow Prophecies and mystics dreams Left written in the snow Standing at the edge of dawn Placed within the desert palm Gaze into the cosmic vision Bursting at the seems Light of knowledge shall be foreseen In Your Wildest Dreams When I beheld the energy Captured in a spell When I beheld the majesty Where the moonlight winter fell I gazed into the crystal eyes Of the towering beast that stands Powers of the hazy skies Swept across the land Standing at the edge of dawn Placed within the desert palm Gaze into the cosmic vision Bursting at the seems Light of knowledge shall be foreseen In Your Wildest Dreams Behold the waves of the rising tide Crashing on the shore Gathered back by the mountain high And carried back once more Neon lights that pierced the night And left the world a-glow Prophecies and mystics dreams Left scattered in the snow Standing at the edge of dawn Placed within the desert palm Gaze into the cosmic vision Bursting at the seems Light of knowledge shall be foreseen In Your Wildest Dreams Gaze into the cosmic vision Bursting at the seems Light of knowledge shall be foreseen In Your Wildest Dreams

Witching Hour 03:43

In the forest past the limits Where the moonlight glows he dimmest Tread not near O ye mortal sons Witching hour has begun Mystic symbols magic spells Mythic drink of dwimmer well Wave a wand and sing a verse Speak a charm or cast a curse If ye seek the wisdom hidden Knowledge lost and most forbidden Seek their tome of ancient lore Read the runes of covens before Beware the eyes in fever pitch Just a glance and you're bewitched Now a pawn to evil schemes In a trance of fable dreams As a tool for wicked ends Witching hour shall commence

Blackened Power 06:22
lyrics

Serpents crawling in the streets Beware their wrath when sirens screech Decked out in protective gear "Protect and serve" through force and fear Prey on poor communities With qualified immunities To keep them out of justice's sights When their actions come to light Broken systems held in place Public image falls in faith Violent methods stir unease Silence, the desert they call peace Our time has come We stand as one Backward talks are proselytized When the fox spreads toxic lies And sell us out as crooks and thugs Committing crimes and high on drugs They paint themselves as colorblind But pin the blame on colored guys Media lies now propagate As "entertainment" propped for hate Traitors for views they lie Gators and snakes in suit and tie Twisted words distort the truth Listen, they are deceiving you Our time has come We stand as one It's time to strike (strike) Enter the darkest hour They play us for fools like pawns in a game Stand up and fight (fight) Behold the blackened power No longer ruled under locks and their chains One by one we lose our rights As politicians bet with lives The side that claims to make us great Are servants to the fascist state Our rights they claim they would defend But burn the cross at both the ends The other side would call their bluff But never seem to do enough Gaslight, obstruction Projection: their roadmap to win For every accusation Is their own confession of sin Our time has come We stand as one It's time to strike (strike) Enter the darkest hour They play us for fools like pawns in a game Stand up and fight (fight) Behold the blackened power No longer ruled under locks and their chains

Voice of the Cosmos 09:12
lyrics

I tread the trail of tragedy, traveled on alone When I beheld the harried hall around a hollow throne Then waded I through welkin skies, woeful, wandering on Deprived of dreams of drighten seen, adrift before the dawn And slowly as I slip into, a sightless weary sleep Cautious, I now cast aside the dogmas that I once did keep Silence and darkness around a formless place The cold desolation adrift through time and space Countless points of starlight through black of night did break The giant eyes open the universe awakes In my dreams Amid the astral plane The voice of the cosmos Is calling me by name Behold the light of a thousand ages past And all that will ever be within my mortal grasp Upon the rays, my lucid form ascends Beyond this reality my conscious mind transcends In my dreams Amid the astral plane The voice of the cosmos Is calling me by name I walked the desert they call peace To find the answers men would seek To put their weary minds at ease And all the gods of legends old From countless myths the elders told No power over man can hold And empty threats of kingdom come The will of wrathful gods be done Are nothing new beneath the sun Final question no more lies What is the meaning of our lives If there's no thrones up there in the sky For this no answer can be found (To satisfy for all mankind) And to no dogmas shall be bound (No righteous ties or holy lies) By my hand my world defined (The and of time shall now unwind) To carve my fate to my design As above (it's calling, it's calling) And so below (it's calling me by name) The voice I hear (it's calling, it's calling) Is one I know (from the astral plane) By myself (it's calling, it's calling) But not alone (it's calling me by name) The voice I hear (it's calling, it's calling) Is but my own (from the astral plane) Cosmic mind Let your hands unwind You and I entwined Forever we're interconnected In my dreams Amid the astral plane The voice of the cosmos Is calling me by name In my dreams (as above) Amid the astral plane (and so below) The voice of the cosmos (the voice I hear) Is calling me by name (is mine alone)

Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Through the jungle by the river Styx I′ve journyed long and far this day Lurking shadows in the parapets Will never make me turn away Darkened city veiled in crimson mist Entombed in time without decay Never thought it would be like this For this feels like living Inside a dream But my mind tells me I'm Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Now I know what it′s like to be Inside the city of the dead All I think of is breaking free From all the spells chained to my head Sword and axe are my destiny I watch the stars turning blood red There is light yes I've got to believe For this feels like living Inside a dream I know now that I am Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis I've seen your cities burning I have felt your daughters yearning For the peace you′ve had before the tides of war I′ve witnessed funeral pyres Burning bright with man's desire I′ll fight the demon horde forever more World is full of mysteries That men have never seen before Magik lives in all dynasties The light of love shines ever more In the crypt of Atlantean Kings I found what I was looking for Magik Trident of Valusia's Sea For this feels like living Inside a dream But don′t you ever get Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis

Honor Bound Reno, Nevada

In the frostbitten heart of Reno, Nevada, an oath was sworn in blood to continue and expand the musical legacy of those who came before. From this sacrament, a band had formed and staked their claim as the last power metal band in Northern Nevada. They fly the flag of heavy metal-dom and proselytize its virtues to those who seek to find a new meaning. And to their oath, they are honor bound. ... more
