1.	The Adversary 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Treachery of my own Next of kin, my lips are sewn Nothing here to threaten me I know his eyes were watching me Demon rise with the tide In the night I confide Lightning surge in my veins Freedom for the crimson rain [chorus] Lies and betrayals You have not (You’ll never find) Seen this side of me You will burn (Locked inside my mind) I can’t forgive You will not (The Adversary) Come back from this Treachery (Could it be?) Tired and worn, body aches Colder now, fingers shake Final now, can’t turn back I will end this attack Staring out into the sea I saw him smiling back at me In the end, could it be? This enemy, he is me [chorus] Lies and betrayals You have not (Judging the past) Seen this side of me You will burn (This cannot last) I can’t forgive You will not (Could it be?) Come back from this Treachery (I am he) [solo] [chorus] Lies and betrayals You have not (What lies in store) Seen this side of me You will burn (Coming back for more) I can’t forgive You will not (Could it be?) Come back from this Treachery (The Adversary is me)
2.	Supercollider 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Who would you follow If your eyes were blinded? Vengeance deprived you Could you be reminded Atoms fuse and merge I am the supercollider (Cities razed and burned I’m the supreme defiler) Planets in my wake I am the supercollider (Patterns in the face of the supreme defiler) I am the supercollider A broken song prolonging fear for all who long to suffer (These lies that torture men, we’re born again to die again) We’re losing hope don’t tread the water (Riptide journey pulls you toward the sun) You’ve made all your decisions Conquered fear, cling to religion A chain that would bind me Locked inside with you Nothing but a memory Colors bleed, untrue Atoms fuse and merge I am the super collider (Cities razed and burned I’m the supreme defiler) Planets in my wake I am the supercollider (Patterns in the face of the supreme defiler) I am the supercollider The everlasting cry across the plains and screaming towards the sky (We’re waking up to find that nothing ever changes) Until pieces break and form anew (The last refrain awakening) The same old strife and struggle (Fleeting time is now abandoning us) [solo] I am the supercollider
3.	Fafner 05:11	lyrics	buy track
Raze the earth Poison the land This is my horde The blood is on my hands Fire demon Life’s blood stealer Break the shield Melt the steel Shatter the helm Crush the heel [chorus] Demon of the north Serpent of greed Whisper my name And I’ll be free Lose control Your lands are scattered Your daughters cry As the flames consume you [solo] The black miasma Drifts across the horizon Carts full of bodies Blackened dreams Fire demon Life’s blood stealer [chorus] Twisted scales The embers seething The glowing masses Bow and break Demon of the north Serpent of greed Whisper my name Fafner
4.	Madman 05:21	lyrics	buy track
Rope ‘round your neck—guilty Followers swear fealty Lust-driven sweat—glisten Lost in regret—listen Beautiful face—blinding Sweeting talking lips—binding Come walk with me—follow Whispers of earth—hollow Feeling the aching of time erased Scratching the surface upon my face Hear me now, my last decree Deliver your souls and worship me Twisted the notes—turn them Who speaks the truth—burn them Inspired by fear—violence All for your own—silence Blood drips upon—splinters Lost from the start—center Turn to the light—fleeting Wounds kept in spite—beating Nothing can break the rising tide Swept right into my rage inside Don’t worry now, it’s just a phase It won’t be long and you’ll leave this place Shedding the lies that kept me strong (Madman) Humming a tired and somber song (Hear me) Lost in a haze, you cannot cry (Madman) Just close your eyes and you’ll never die (Worship) [solo] Madman—hear me Madman—worship
5.	Sedated and Swathed 06:37	lyrics	buy track
Cracks sever the wall Peering through to another life Shock reaching out from another place Creating the empty space Bound so I can feel All my aches Beloved regret I welcome an old friend into my corner Piercing the shell Application erased Pacing through hell Chemical lines misplaced [solo] Rest eluding Pores extruding Death unclean Lies obscene Green and blue Gentle hues Lines are crossed Facts are lost [interlude] Lock and key Right here I’ll stay Such soft relief To waste away Sever a branch Division of faith Just settle down Sedated and swathed [solo] Come now, quiet down Sleep sound You’re here to stay now Calling all madmen Against the wall It’s time to sleep now Muscles contracting Resisting the capture Electrons distracting Creating the rapture Deception, disruption A sacred abduction The knowledge forsaken Repeat and awaken The echoes of martyrs To strengthen their ardor The words of my science My act of defiance
6.	Smoulder 05:11	lyrics	buy track
Voices call you Sighs of serpents Writhing blurred truth Void will conquer Fires smoulder We’re still left here Mind not dying Soul subsiding Blood spilled, past lives Lost, trapped in time One last time now You’ll have left here Such a mistake What shall they break Days stop dawning Abyss spawning [chorus] Go now my son You’re the one to save us Now you must choose What to lose when nothing’s left Eyes bereft Walking blindly to the flame Burn your flesh Linger on or rule the world Phantoms fill the air Blissful in the dark Dream that fell apart Found an empty shell I don’t know at all What others always knew Colors bleed away My perfect twisted view Take me as I am No belief in me Rip me from the soil Burn then release me [solo] [chorus] Go now my son You’re the one to save us Now you must choose What to lose when nothing’s left Eyes bereft Walking blindly to the flame Burn your flesh Linger on or rule the world Be a god Take the blame for sorrow Vengeance is nigh For the bones of dragons
7.	Walls of the Titans 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Lurid incantations echo Honoring the gilded icons Lining up for execution Following the order Stuck beneath the bodies You’ll find no service here Just a brief disturbance Your freedom drawing near Liars underserving Hatred never swerving Eyes gaze, not concealing Warm rush, then congealing Usurped all their masters Faces under plaster Lost in your selfish ways Behold, the final blaze [chorus] Undone, the power of gods (Hatred) Return what the sacred of shunned (Burn) Broken, the beast that is greed (Darkness) Unlearn, desire is to blame (Empty) Daily degradation lingers Nothing left to follow Free, yet still in chains Pain and fear so hollow Monsters in their walls Spinning webs of nightmares Nowhere left to hide Nothing left inside Liars underserving Hatred never swerving Eyes gaze, not concealing Warm rush, then congealing Usurped all their masters Faces under plaster Lost in your selfish ways Behold, the final blaze [Chorus] Reborn, nothing has change (Liar) Unknown, the deeds of a monster (Hunger) Searching, but none will reply (Wretched) Fading in the October sky (Monster) [solo] [chorus/solo]
8.	Empire of Disgrace 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Taken with Darkness A glimpse of rapture Haunting visions Stay the while Staring gaze-less Wandering wide A distant motive Sounds its call Turning my thoughts From distant ruins From ancient sirens And battles waged Return to zero Sharpened mind Raising quickly From that place From the throne Of distaste And the Empire of Disgrace Over which I watch I cannot bury all who have passed Or those unborn nameless dreams Those who built these walls stay here with me Chains of lust, lies, and pain Carved into my throne I cannot ever stray [solo] Hear those cries buried in time Wind-swept tears heavy with age Trapped in my thoughts In history Suffer silence In reverie Return to zero Sharpened mind Time to take leave From apathy Close the wounds Time forgot Close the wounds Never forget
9.	Siren 06:25	lyrics	buy track
Casting aside my shelter Pursuing her echoes failing The current will rage and sigh now And hide her immortal wailing Drink from the sacred spring In ancient meadows For you the heavens sing So follow me Believe in another ending This hunger at last awaken The mist of a barren shore Sighs of the forsaken Flood—take me Silence—break me Weakened fools, we pick their bones Followed lust, their sins atoned Sealed within this bitter fate Now for you it’s far too late Fall into the curse herd A feast for us, the grounded birds The masters vile, yet so absurd This feast for us under the sun Bound to the earth, plucked from the sky Devour my flesh without knowing why Sing for me now and I’ll leave my mark A stain upon your brow so pale, now so dark Hurt, fear, and silence—salt in your lungs Men scream for help—we pluck out their tongues You cannot conquer, I will not leave you Prayers for your soul—words they deceive you [solo] Desolate these plains of madness March into the void The bones of others fading The lives you destroyed Flood Silence Take me Break me
