Gospel 03:41
Murder, hatred, spreading fear A gospel spit by the few For the few They bring us to war We're told it's all they know Taking the joy that is left From this world They preach of their "enlightenment" A higher sense of "truth" Reigning down destruction Fueled by the words of their muse They've got me afraid Afraid to Afraid to walk out my front door Afraid to make new friends Afraid to find my place in this world Afraid to live my life Murder, hatred, spreading fear A gospel spit by the few For the few They bring us to war We're told it's all they know Taking the joy that is left From this Murder, hatred, spreading fear A gospel spit by the few For the few They bring us to war We're told it's all they know Taking the joy that is left From this world Claiming to reach For their own ideas of paradise A paradise they claim to be the design Of their own warmonger Their "paradise" A fucking contradiction Peace earned through Brutal senseless slaughter Murder, hatred, spreading fear A gospel spit by the few For the few They bring us to war We're told it's all they know Taking the joy that is left From this Murder, hatred, spreading fear A gospel spit by the few For the few They bring us to war We're told it's all they know Taking the joy that is left From this world They preach of their "enlightenment" A higher sense of "truth" Reigning down destruction Fueled by the words of their fucking muse

Fire 03:45
Overwhelmed by the crushing force The odds no longer in my favor Backed into a corner Forced to make a choice Live on as a hollow shell A story, nothing more Or do I regain my footing And pull myself out of the fire I will pull myself out Pull Pull Pull Pull Pull Pull Pull myself out of the fire Pull myself out of the fire This world has fought me at every turn But I will not let it be my end I will rise to my glory And I will make my fate Beat back by the forces that hold me down Resist the urge to fall prisoner This world won't beat me down (beat me down) I will survive Pull through on tooth and nail I will survive Pull through on tooth and nail Outnumbered But not overwhelmed Throw the odds out the window Push back like a tidal wave The choices I have made will see me through See me through See me through To my way out of the fire My scorched flesh is scarred and calloused Strengthened and forged in the fires of my own hell My scorched flesh is scarred and calloused I'm gonna fight And dig myself out of this hell I will pull myself out I will pull myself out I will pull myself out I will pull myself out Beat back by the forces that hold me down Resist the urge to fall prisoner This world won't beat me down (beat me down) I will survive Pull through on tooth and nail I will survive Pull through on tooth and nail

Unstoppable 04:07
We are the elite We are the chosen few We built an empire Of unrelenting strength We have no equal Unstoppable Opposition Is unacceptable We have no equal Unstoppable Opposition Is unacceptable We have fought and we have bled for this We're not giving it back Not without a fucking fight We have fought and we have bled for this We're not giving it back You'll have to take it from my cold, dead hands From a hollow shell Into a juggernaut We've burned our legacy In the minds of the weak From a hollow shell Into a juggernaut We've burned our legacy In the minds of the damned Unstoppable Opposition Is unacceptable We have no equal Unstoppable Opposition Is unacceptable Unstoppable We are the conquering horde Unstoppable We are the unforgiving mass Unstoppable We are unshakable Unstoppable And we are Unstoppable We are the elite We are the chosen few We built an empire Of unrelenting strength Yeah We have fought and we have bled for this We're not giving it back You'll have to take it from my From my My cold, dead hands You'll have to take it from my You'll have to take it from my My cold dead, hands My cold dead, hands You'll have to take it from my My cold, dead My cold, dead hands

Intangible 03:18
To release the intangible Is not the mark of a coward It takes strength to move on To rebuild a broken will A weary man Stands facing his own reflection Contemplating the mistakes in his life Can he live the life he once had? Dwelling on the past Fighting a war lost in time There is no war for you Besides the one you wage in your own mind To release the intangible Is not the mark of a coward It takes strength to move on To rebuild a broken will Sever the ties That have been holding you back They have no place in your life Cut 'em loose, let 'em sink To the bottom of the sea Just move on with your life Sever the ties That have been holding you down They have no place in your life You've gotta just Let 'em drown To release the intangible Is not the mark of a coward It takes strength to move on To rebuild a broken will

Demise 06:08
I sit here with you At the end of it all We speak fondly of our memories All the trials and tribulations We knew it had to come But did it have to be so soon? We had so much more to give And so much left to do With grieving eyes, we watch it all fall apart We crushed all our hopes and dreams It seems such a cruel fate For those who only Wanted more We strove for greatness Yet tore ourselves asunder This is where we say our goodbyes And dammit man I'm gonna miss you Regret and feelings of guilt Are washing over me How many years did I waste? How much time has past? The fires scorched these shattered lands The cries of the damned echo through the valleys The bodies could feed the wolves for ages Damnation is an unrelenting mistress I've come to learn that fate has no remorse The young, the old We all face the cold embrace There is no running away She lives inside us all Regret and feelings of guilt Are washing over me How many years did I waste? How much time has past? Death comes for us all Death comes for us all Death comes for us all The ash covers everything in sight The smell reaches every crevice It is nearly our time So long my friend There is no writhing There is no bargaining I can feel the heat My flesh, a searing tomb The flames rage on Ever closer to us This is it I can feel it It's burning us alive Burning us alive Burn We had come so far From where we once stood Progress without bounds We were more than gods We were more than gods But we never saw beyond The potential in our hands We left our hearts behind We had become so blind The fires we had used To claim whatever we saw fit They were the fires that would consume us We brought about our own demise
