Absolute Power
Things are often twisted, a darker shade of black Why do lovers vow their faith then stab you in the back? There right now they're smiling, exchanging friendly talk While in secret he's made plans to meet her 'round the block And they will break you down - Humiliate you again What happens when you find out what they've done to you? Accusations handed out, "Look what you made me do!" So you play the hurt one just to have her stay Sacrificing pride for something you've lost anyway As they lie naked - Lost something sacred (And) Once again I wish I could be Like the Vikings were before me Giant men of mirth braving cold and ocean spray They burned away their past loves With high flames that licked the heavens And sailed off to the setting sun Bringing death to all in their way (never to be seen again) They sailed away on their Viking LONGSHIPS Wish I could be on those Viking LONGSHIPS You think about that trust you lost forever And you consider what if anything was real While they wonder if you'll let it slide or if you'll settle scores That help resolve this mess that you now feel

Conscripted from the northern wastelands Pressed then pledged honor to Rome Six years past since I have seen my home or family My brethren, gracious conquerors They march side by side with our standards to the sky The sun burns bright, the sweat burns my eyes dry I'm weary now The battle joined we take the field in the cool November light Unkind and careless of thine own "Why sufferest thou thy sons unburied yet to hover over the dreadful shore of Styx" LEGION - Warriors of Death, fight on this day Or take your final breath LEGION - On Victory! Go tempt the fates and ride to history Homecoming not what I had in mind My brothers skinned and hanged for all to see The whispered war songs that rode the wind and called us back Summon the warhorse Our valiant deeds performed at their request The Empire's noble cause Sons slaughtered, murdered in the streets Their mother's tears will shed upon the earth The battle joined, our steel meets steel in the cool December light Avenge our fallen, fill the breach "I've done a thousand dreadful things As readily as one would kill a fly And nothing grieves me heartily indeed But that I cannot do ten thousand more!" LEGION - Warriors ride free, No fear of Death we pledge our victory LEGION - Blood fills the sky, ha! Pray to your Gods and then prepare to die Alorac, leader of the Goths wants peaceful coexistence With the Empire He's petitioned, manoeuvred with the council For rank and title of general Impossible! The ignomy of Valens vanquish in Romania Spur us on to victory! Victory! So we will give you a war, men will die And your children will weep for your souls as you blacken the sky We will give you a war

There she stood with her eyes in tears Asked me to stay but I was far too gone I've tried to understand it - I don't know what came over me that day I was sure then - We're never going to make it, I didn't want to hear it I wasn't going to fake it - The issue was pushed And I've made up my mind There's nothing left here to say, she'll never understand She fell her knees and begged "Baby, please won't you talk to me? Just turn, turn around and look at me!" But I didn't have one thing to say to her So she cut herself as I walked away, never looking back She was gone - Her love was erased so she made up her mind To leave her world of pain - I'll never be the same The result of her autopsy came within four days And showed without question she'd been carrying my... No! Now every place that I go, I see her face that I know Screaming "Liar!" - Getting higher She was there, shadowing me in the air HER GHOST: REMAINS HER GHOST: REMAINS - The key to my soul and Eternity calls from the grave

You were my religion and I was all your sin Thirty silver pieces, it's where we've always been You received my blessing, I'm saddled with your curse You lead me to the water, can you forsake my thirst? Making vows for nothing, so much wasted breath You meant something different I meant UNTIL DEATH DO US PART Until death...

Life is too short, my deeds are too few Is this what we've come to, it's clear that we're through A gathering of crows, there's no wedded bliss The death of all reason has brought us to his Make no mistake, I've had enough So pack your belongings and take all your stuff I speak with clear tongue you've earned no reprieve Look into my eyes you will start to believe So go rouse the world, sound the alarm Tell them my arrival may cause them some harm The gates they are lifted, I set myself free And what's left of your grace keeps eluding me I assign you no blame, it's no fault but my own Living with you has been like living alone I want to be true, I want to be loved Not ignored and neglected, rejected and cast aside And put away then shuffled off for another day Remember: For Richer or Poorer - VOWBREAKER Surely you know what you mean to me You know that I've loved you And all that you took I gave willingly But we all let it change (All that is over) Remember: In Sickness and in Health - VOWBREAKER We agreed that it would be for Better or Worse - VOWBREAKER Stars will fall weeping down from the sky Mountains uproot themselves from the ground Birds lose their song, flowers their scent Everything wrong and I'm lying here For Better or Worse, to Love and Obey - VOWBREAKER As long as "We both can live better this way!" That's why they call you the VOWBREAKER Heartbreaker, Homewrecker

Twenty years to the day I have suffered with this Some days are better than others I'm not going to lie to you And yes, I confess - I've thought about ending it all I had the gun in my mouth but I couldn't follow through If you must know the truth, GOD speaks to me Conversations last for hours I'm not going to lie to you And yes, I'll address your questions and disbelief But it's GOD that's talking to me as sure as the sky is blue HE calls my name, HE gives me the answers to the mysteries of life Yet you don't believe, you tell me I'm crazy But HE told me you'd say that What? - I tried to tell you but you just won't hear me What? - I tried to make it clear but you just don't see We can sit here if it takes forever But you'll always doubt my MESSAGE FROM GOD See the smile on my face, it's a masquerade It helps me hold in the pain I'm not going to lie to you And yes, I'm a mess but I've been there before It's loud and clear in my head I know what I'm going to do And you sit there with your forced smiles In your condescending fashion like you do And you try to convince me that what I think is GOD Is a figment of my imagination But you're so wrong about that, you say it's in my head HE told me you'd say that This is a MESSAGE FROM GOD

Through the dungeon walls I hear the battle cry I hear the call - Echoes of FREEDOM in the air The Army of the Lion marches on the shores of Jaffa Pagan blood flows free - A clash of swords collide with Trumpets bleating wide the charge of mighty England's crown Forty weeks in Moorish lands then captured in the Arab sands Accursed Chastel Pellerin - Charged up from the rear that night A silent strike of fear surrendered bloody swords Tortured by the Seljuk Turks we're forced to disavow HIS works Or lose our heads I'm on my way to FREEDOM I'm on my way tomorrow (To kill me the Saracen leader, true to my vow) Acrid smoke invades the cell impeding our escape from Hell My warders speak and I defy; "Allah deserts his followers..." His followers in turn desert the bloodied field My insolence has earned their punishment My hand is burned and bleeding Our holy crusade is a sign of our faith Not for ourselves but for GOD

They will say it was a day that left all the rest of us Asking and wondering why the sky went black Then the rain on my windowpane came as insistent As the clouds that now darken the sky - Ominous Force, Power, Thunder - Fire rained from the sky Light, Water - Death came down Riding lightning, something frightening descended From high in the sky to machines which long lay in the earth Out of luck, terror struck, panic ensued As we tried to survive one more day - Genocide Force, Power, Thunder - Violate (Inviolate) from the sky Light, Water - Death descends from above Chaos, Fury - INVASION They're coming down out of the sky We were convinced that we would die I don't know why, not going to lie, not really sure what is going on Disintegrated over there and her last words "This isn't fair!" It's not really something I care to share with humanity We got accustomed to the fear We had to fight that much was clear The Tripod neared, all we held dear was blasted out into oblivion We didn't know just what to do Quite certain then that we were through But in the end it was the flu that did the invaders in And saved us from annihilation
