A Sound of Thunder
Album • 2018
A hidden nightmare Turned reality one day Falling from the sky The gods came out to play Disguised by war machines We could not see their face A firestorm of death revealed Contempt for the human race Too advanced to fight Though heaven knows we tried Ten thousand flew Into the stratosphere to die Then they rose and took flight Like birds of prey They soared into the night Who knew that men Could fly so high As the final phantom flight The battle raged above We watched with baited breath A flaming ballet To the rhythm of death With a mad discovery Dug from the Earth’s archives The phantoms took a chance And gambled with their lives Blazing through their defenses A raging onslaught Ancient Earth technology Cloaked heroes as they fought We watched them rise and take flight Heavenward they soared into the night Who knew that men Could fly so high As the final phantom flight Against all reason Against the odds We dared to stand Against the gods We tore down walls So we could see United by humanity

Wandering in exile The warriors of light Clinging to their honor Though justice was denied The era of the tyrant Who burned all hope away He rode on a tide of fear and hate To lead us all astray Deliver us Bring us the blade Lifebringer With starlight it was made Only the worthy can wield the blessed blade A quest to find the weapon forged beyond the stars Lifebringer It could save us all Worshipers and refugees Of different gods and paths Victims of the weak and blind Fed on the tyrants wrath Shining like the dawn Warriors of light amassed Sword to bring peace to the earth Found Lifebringer at last Deliver us Bring us the blade Lifebringer With starlight it was made Only the worthy can wield the blessed blade A quest to find the weapon forged beyond the stars Lifebringer It could save us all Lords of Light Bring me the blade Lifebringer With starlight it was made Only the worthy can wield the blessed blade A quest to find the weapon forged beyond the stars Lifebringer It could save us all

Through the sea of salt and darkness Came a legion with a cause Bringing iron, steel and gunfire And the white man’s twisted laws With nobility and civility Europe would see this land controlled Demanding obedience Our gods and our gold Our whole world would be sold But in the highest hottest mountains We resisted, we rebelled We forged a revolution To resist destroy this foreign hell There lived a chieftain Who would never be tamed Led by this mighty warrior Both predator and man We slaughtered foolish foreign men Who did not know the land And though he’s long since dead His legend still remains The blood of the gods In the flesh of a man With a soul too ancient to burn We must always remember The strength and the call Of the blood of the gods That lives on in us all Blood of the gods That lives on in us all As the white man’s guns And glistening steel Cut through our shields Our chieftain saw a future That their butchery revealed An unstoppable invasion Blood rained from the sky So he scaled a great volcano And rather than be shamed Atlacatl swore to the gods And dove into the flames A searing death preferred To the weight of their chains The blood of the gods In the flesh of a man With a soul too ancient to burn We must always remember The strength and the call Of the blood of the gods That lives on in us all Blood of the gods That lives on in us all Transformed by sacrifice His spirit burned into memory A symbol of vengeance Pride and destiny We will embrace our legacy Atlacatl Atlacatl The blood of the gods In the flesh of a man Atlacatl The blood of the gods In the flesh of a man It’s the blood of the gods That lives on in us all Atlacatl

This track is instrumental.
In the beginning When all was black An explosion cracked the sky Volcanoes erupted The Earth was corrupted By the sound that terrifies From the chaos came savage man To feast on the flesh Of the beasts he slew And as the cavemen discovered The fire and the thunder The strongest of them knew It was metal Heavy metal And it’s been here Since time began Electrifying and unifying A sonic gift to man In 1913 The Rite of Spring symphony Made the crowd lose control Then the blues man sealed The crossroads deal With the devil for his soul To bring us rock ‘n’ roll And now you can hear it pounding There’s joy in the screams We tell our stories With ear-splitting glory Metal reigns supreme It was metal Heavy metal And it’s been here Since time began Electrifying and unifying A sonic gift to man It was metal We strike down the unbelievers Defenders heed the call Demons tremble When the legion assembles We let the hammer fall It was metal Heavy metal And it’s been here Since time began It’s electrifying It’s unifying The sound that rules the land It was metal Heavy metal It was metal Heavy metal It was metal Heavy metal

Look to the sky When Saturn looms Exalted in the seventh sign Listen for the call When reality and dreamworld align Faith will never die Winter comes and leaves will fall But roots grow stronger still Unseen among you all He will bring the trials Some will rise and some will burn So we bide our time Until the traveler returns The artifact is found The call goes out on coded wire To meet on sacred ground The chosen few who now conspire Unseal the chamber Shake off the dust of centuries The sign of Kronos burns Reactivate the machinery Hold the symbol high None can deny the power Ride into the night When the starlight gleams On chrome and steel The four winds drive you on To tropic lands With tyranny at hand The ancient from stories told Reflected in obsidian and gold The flaming telepaths Indoctrinating with their minds Project the aftermath Of the mutation of all mankind Restless angels are riding still Above the cliffs at Dead Man’s Curve Call back the red and the black The spectral riders are bound to serve Hold the symbol high None can deny the power Ride into the night When the starlight gleams On chrome and steel The four winds drive you on To tropic lands With tyranny at hand The ancient ones from stories told Reflected in obsidian and gold Listening for the voices That we never hear From lightyears away Were they ever heard Just a single word Steadfast and hale Time can’t assail Those temples that live In our hearts forever From rivers of time Bearing the sign Desdinova returns So close your eyes and surrender To the tyranny of our certainty Daughters and sons We bring the reign Of the invisible ones Hold the symbol high None can deny the power Ride into the night When starlight gleams On chrome and steel The four winds drive you on To tropic lands With tyranny at hand The ancient ones from stories told Reflected in obsidian and gold

I hear the dead So why can’t I hear you now Waiting for a brand new day When the fear has gone away Between two dreams There’s a doorway to the past Life is too beautiful to last And it’s tearing at the seems Will this longing for your touch solidify Or does love disappear when you die Speak the language of the soul I understand my role It’s a lifetime of knowing what’s real Take my hand now if you can No one else can understand What it’s like when you can see But cannot feel Burning eyes glowing bright I’d give the world to you ‘til the end of our days Voices echo through the night Searching for someone To guide them on their way Are we destined to wander Through our second lives Or does it even matter in the end Tell me why Speak the language of the soul I understand my role It’s a lifetime of knowing what’s real Take my hand now if you can No one else can understand What it’s like when you can see But cannot feel I hear the dead So speak to me now Will this longing for your touch solidify Or does love disappear when you die Speak the language of the soul I understand my role It’s a lifetime of knowing what’s real Take my hand now if you can No one else can understand What it’s like when you can see But cannot feel I see but cannot feel

From the steppes of Scythia Came a righteous queen With sword in hand She rode beside her men Through wild and unforgiving lands Yet to the west the king Cyrus the Great thought that he could lay claim To one who would not shackle herself To any man despite his name How could he know That the queen he desired Would never submit Never kneel before his throne Tomyris reigned A woman of strength and power Warrior queen of the Massagetae No man was her equal Who could ever rule beside her Tomyris May all men May all men know Cyrus desired her land He lay a trap and captured her son The prince was dead by dawn The war between them had just begun I swear by the sun The sovereign lord I will give you your fill of blood Tomyris lead An army of mighty warriors For her they fought and killed and bled No man could defeat her How could one stand beside her Tomyris Her power would be known Defeated by her army Cyrus the Great dead at her feet His skull the final trophy Drowned in human blood His army dead See now I fulfill my threat You have had your fill of blood she said Tomyris reigned A woman of strength and power Warrior queen of the Massagetae No man was her equal Who could ever rule beside her Tomyris May all men May all men know

Miss Nancy was a'walking down The graveyard in her best And found a pile of stones unturned Where Mike was laid to rest She cried for help A boy answered to her cry "It's just his skull that's missing, miss” "So let me tell you why" Where did he go? Where did all those skulls go? The King is drinking Irish bones To live another day It's science for a richer blood Who can afford to pay And if you've got a shovel And a stomach for the crime Good King Charles the Second Has a shilling for your time And Nancy found more graves disturbed Than she could hope the count Bodies lay there headless A startling amount "And when the savior comes" "To raise them from the dead” "How will Jesus be their guide "If they don't have a head?" How could they rise? How can they rise without heads? The King is drinking Irish bones To live another day It's science for a richer blood Who can afford to pay And if you've got a shovel And a stomach for the crime Good King Charles the Second Has a shilling for your time But all the Irish skulls he drank Could not save him from death And so the good king died With bones upon his breath And if he ever met the men Whose corpses he befell We will never know, but pray They kick his ass in hell We will kick his ass in hell! The King is drinking Irish bones To live another day It's science for a richer blood Who can afford to pay You've got a shovel And a stomach for the crime Good King Charles the Second Has a shilling for your time

Death lasers fill the sky Beware troopers in black Orders are clear Kill on command Destroy Don’t look back Travel across time Change the world you know What you have will never last And you’ve no place to go Don’t cry for mercy Your weapons are useless and weak We know your secrets We know the truth Silence You do not speak The fortress of the future race Your time has come to an end Don’t try to run You have been warned We’ve lost all patience Stand and be brave if you must The leaders of your world have run Go find them Bring them to us We will take control And knowledge is our prize Building our utopia There is no compromise Cities ablaze Death all around Anarchy everywhere Now we must go back to our time Gone into thin air The fortress of the future race Your time has come to an end Don’t try to run You have been warned We are the future We control the past The final destiny Eternity is ours The fortress of the future race Your time has come to an end The fortress of the future race Invincible once again Don’t try to run You have been warned Your time is up Now
