A Sound of Thunder
Album • 2013
Heavy swords are drawn this day Old boundaries are gone The brutal march is underway The huddled mass will move as one Keep your eyes open day and night Don't try to run The enemy is there Faded armor shining bright Blood brothers rush the field They do not understand No time For hesitation Think fast You’ll make it back alive No fear Too late for you to run away Can't wait For some miracle Shout out Scream the battle cry Get up Be a part of the power play Fight the strong enslave the weak Another treaty burned to dust The minds of peace don't dare to speak There's no one left that we can trust Keep your eyes open day and night Don’t have to run The enemy is dead Faded glory shining bright Blood brothers fall apart They do not understand No time For hesitation Think fast You’ll make it back alive No fear Too late for you to run away Can't wait For some miracle Shout out Scream the battle cry Get up Be a part of the power play

Another stormy night Another stormy vision One chance to run A broken body stands alone No fantasies No dead end fascination An open window To the world of the unknown So many days spent in isolation Walk a twisted line To the edge of sanity Unlock the mystery Of time in all dimensions To see with mortal eyes The limits of reality A secret passageway is there I’ve got to find out where Time's Arrow Please take me And change my destiny Time's Arrow Bring life back To what it used to be Countdown is done Generators spark And twist with power I close my eyes Looking for a miracle A blast of energy Rushing through my veins No second thoughts I cast away these broken chains Defied the science of the day No one listens anyway Time's Arrow Please take me And change my destiny Time's Arrow Bring life back To what it used to be All I see in front of me Parallel eternity Suddenly I start to pray This will never fade away Fading from my tired sight Endlessly into the night Spirits from beyond the grave I can never save Swept away so from me Standing silently Rising up into the sky Right before my eyes Precious memories Don’t leave me Can’t turn back My world is turning black The final curtain of this play Doesn’t matter anyway Time's Arrow Please take me And change my destiny Time's Arrow Bring life back To what it used to be

I've heard a thousand voices Telling me to do as they say Forcing their hands to Put me on display I will not submit I won't be their prey I'm not your fool I make the rules I will not break I am the only master of my fate You can't control me Nothing in this world can hold me I have the voice How and when I use it is my choice I won't be silent But I might be violent You have the illusion That yours will be the hand that guides my path Don't try to deny it Those words might be your last You are not worthy To feel all of my wrath I won't let you inside I'd rather die I will not break I am the only master of my fate You can't control me Nothing in this world can hold me I have the voice How and when I use it is my choice I won't be silent But I might be violent Eyes gleam watching Craving but not seeing My life My Role My dreams and my soul I will not fall again Strength carried deep within I will not break I am the only master of my fate You can't control me Nothing in this world can hold me I have the voice How and when I use it is my choice I won't be silent But I might be violent

Been running away High on the night Looking for something Nothing's in sight Memories More dead dreams to face Hoping for some peace Can't stay in this place Laughing and crying Driving way too fast Cross that broken bridge It won't be the last Trying to forget Time and time again Need to get to the other side Don't care how or when Don't care how or when I feel the beat A forgotten song Shoved it away I guess it was all wrong So far removed Forever gone I fear But I keep this reckless pace 'til the coast is crystal clear Laughing and crying Driving way too fast Cross that broken bridge It won't be the last Trying to forget Time and time again Need to get to the other side Don't care how or when Don't care how or when

Welcome brothers sisters I am the queen of hell Come with me I'll show you The burning place we dwell We will show no mercy A nation of the cursed So arm yourselves Join the cause Satiate your thirst We won't be denied We'll conquer mankind Follow me as we march forth Do as I command Red and black our banners waive As we march across the land Bow down before me The queen of hell Be worthy of my chains Know that to serve me Means glory as well Your queen of desire and pain No man can defeat me They've tried before and failed They cower at me feet now And tremble at my wail We will show no mercy I have no tears to shed Only those of metal Will wear the black and red Don't fear the dead There's blood to shed Follow me as we march forth Do as I command Red and black our banners waive As we march across the land I know that you can hear me I will not be ignored My army of the dead will see The metal age restored Bow down before me The queen of hell Be worthy of my chains Know that to serve me Means glory as well Your queen of desire and pain Make your salute To the queen of hell Join my ranks of steel An army of metal To conquer mankind And force the world to kneel

Gather the kindling I'll bring the flame Let's start a fire No one can tame Limits are endless I've seen it free You don't know fire 'til you know me Let's start a fire Let's watch it grow Through the flames We'll disintegrate All that we know The houses smoking The forest dead Curled up in ashes After what you said Photos and letters Reduced to dust Broken by misery We do what we must Let's start a fire Let's watch it grow Through the flames We'll disintegrate All that we know Let's feed the embers There's no retreat Illuminate our lives Stand within the heat Let's start a fire Let's watch it grow Through the flames We'll disintegrate All that we know Let's start a fire Out of control Destroying all it touches Ignite my soul

We saw it coming from a distance We heard the screaming on the news You barricaded all the windows All I had was you to lose The scratching found us in the night time Hollow voices hungry cries We held each other through the chaos Never thinking we could die You were too weak to make the journey We had to leave supplies were gone I thought that I could still protect you We could survive on the run Don't stare at me with those lifeless eyes Memories lost in the blue How could I picture such a future How could I live by killing you Are you still living without breathing Or are you just a broken shell Are you watching me from heaven Or is the world a living hell They found us sleeping human weakness They ripped you from me from my hands I watched my life break right before me Destroyed with all our plans Don't stare at me with those lifeless eyes Memories lost in the blue How could I picture such a future How could I live by killing you Are you still living without breathing Or are you just a broken shell Are you watching me from heaven Or is the world a living hell It's not an innocent reaction It's punishment for my distraction No one could ever take your place but I put a gun against your face How could I picture such a future How can I live by killing you There's nothing left for me to live for I wish that it were me instead They're closing in all around me I'll walk with you when I'm dead

Sweaty palms and itchy skin Precursor to the pain Of the burning in my chest And the fire in my brain Questioning all that I am Traveling my mind Drowning in my mixed emotions Honor fighting pride Nowhere to hide I crave the illness that you Give me with your eyes Stomach pain and bleeding brain Are with me through the highs Contaminating poison In my blood is crippling me Compulsion that I feel Is eating me like a disease Plague in the mind In the heart of a man Bringing such despair Auto-masochistic instincts We're driven by beware I grow cold and nauseous When your skin touches mine A sick combination Of disgusting and divine I crave the illness That you give me with your eyes Stomach pain and bleeding brain Are with me through the highs Contaminating poison In my blood is crippling me Compulsion that I feel Is eating me like a disease These cannot be my thoughts These are not my deeds Destiny is a blessing I'm denied Fate is just a knife You're my disease I crave the illness That you give me with your eyes Stomach pain and bleeding brain Are with me through the highs Contaminating poison In my blood is crippling me Infatuation infestation is my disease You are my disease

I can taste the end Whiskey sweet Burns like corruption Stings like the street My hands have been dirty Love is easy to blame But I'm not one to say no And I don't feel no shame I spent too much time In a broken town Drained the life from my veins 'til I burned it down The path of redemption Blaze a trail 'cross the land From the peaks of the holy To valleys of the damned Is this the end of the road Tell me I'm ready to go Hands are washed clean Something's calling me home Is this the end of the road One boot-step at a time Leather metal and black Kicked 'em down kicked 'em hard Ain't no turning back Now here at the altar At the end of the game Set the past on fire And worship the flames Is this the end of the road Tell me I'm ready to go Hands are washed clean Something's calling me home Is this the end of the road The world is spinning faster And the seas are on the rise People marching everywhere With fear behind their eyes Start a revolution Or a holy war or two Or live the life you were born to live It all comes down to you There's nothing that is written In the stars or in the sky You can choose to walk the path Or you can choose to fly You can take the future in your hands Or just take what they give But what's the point of living If you don't decide to live I'm living my life 'til the end of the road There's no turning back At the end of the road It's 2090 and the seas are boiling The sun is beaming down on poisoned land Starving people in the ruins toiling The remnants of the legacy of man Civilization burned in the fire Disintegration of a golden age Survival necessary to aspire Run through the wastelands So we can live on Promise of life in the dawn The world is madness our cities broken The Armageddon finally has come The dust has settled on dreams of old Refugees are what we have become Children are starving As they search for longing Knowing nothing of the world that's gone They do not cry for simple sad belongings Reality drifting through madness and pain Mankind will not be restrained There's still a light to follow Don't drown yourself in pain Though hope is desecrated We've not survived this long in vain Walk on do not stumble There must be a promised land Though all you know has crumbled We are the last hope of man The snow is falling And we don't have shelter Our clothing clinging to us paper thin A fire rages in our hearts and voices Nothing to shield the peril that we're in The road is endless the forest falling There's nothing left to grow it all will burn Death is tempting you hear her calling Don't follow dreams That are tempting and true Death is just calling to you There's still a light to follow Don't drown yourself in pain Though hope is desecrated We've not survived this long in vain Walk on do not stumble There must be a promised land Though all you know has crumbled We are the last hope of man Memories fading like nightmares in time Remnants of man And the earth in their prime Grasping at shadows before they can run Pray for the warmth of the sun The pain of hunger and the fear of torment It's driven men and women to go mad I will not join them or their savage nightmare Hope will not die if there's fire inside Humanity won't be denied There's still a light to follow Don't drown yourself in pain Though hope is desecrated We've not survived this long in vain Walk on do not stumble There must be a promised land Though all you know has crumbled We are the last hope of man

From the dust of time Across infinity Came a race of gods In a silver machine Sonic assassins They are the lords of light Children of the sun Down through the night Lords of chaos standing On the edge of time Mirror of illusion Reflecting the sign Warriors on the edge of time we stand See the Hawklords rise again Legend in flesh and gold Never will they die Casting their gaze across the sky From the golden void Heralded by Magnu Horse with golden mane Born to go where no one knew Dream the iron dream Of black sun alchemy The long forgotten science From a spiral galaxy Chaos army worshippers In blood shall be ordained When the Hawklords rise again Master of the universe Sound the battle cry As they spread their iron wings and fly Warriors on the edge of time we stand See the Hawklords rise again Legend in flesh and gold Never will they die Casting their gaze across the sky
