Civil War
Album • 2022
Awakening from a thousand years of sleep My garden poisoned By a selfish blight Drunk on avarice, full of spite Far from grace you've fallen All I gave You desecrate Only humbled When it's too late I turn the page On this curse they call Humanity As I tear the sun from the sky And cast you all to Oblivion Feel my hand, sweep across the burning sand My locusts swarming As I descend, spreading sickness on the wind I'll breathe no warning The Earth will shake The seas will rage The winds will roar Howling nevermore I turn the page On this curse they call Humanity As I tear the sun from the sky And cast you all to Oblivion Oblivion Tempestas Siccitas Languorem Quassum Terrae I turn the page On this curse they call Humanity As I tear the sun from the sky And cast you all to Oblivion I turn the page On this curse they call Humanity As I tear the sun from the sky And cast you all to Oblivion Oblivion

They came from the North Pillaging hoards Clamouring to rape and defile As their Longships break shore The horn blast of war, shatters the still of our Emerald Isle "Ionroir" Erin Go Bragh! Raising our Cliadheamh-mor, we'll send them below Their only clemency Be the Dead Man's Glory Now blood paints the sand As we make our stand Driving them back to the water Destiny calls "the heathen must fall" Preserving this land for our sons and our daughters Men of the Eire Summon your will and burn bright And rise for your Mother Isle Victory's in sight Brothers, be brave and we live as they die 'neath the Irish sky Into the fray Hear your brothers wail

Paleface comes to ravage our birthplace Burning villages, murdering babes On the hunt for his gold Washington sends the orders and men with guns Seizing everything but the sun So, we'll give him a war Calling on every nation Unite for blood and home Drown the white shadow in the arrow's rain Traitors, no more signing your papers We're not born to be prisoners We won't walk in your chains When all is done We will cut out your double tongue Bring your soldiers down one by one Send you back whence you came We rise from every nation Unite for blood and home Drown the white shadow in the arrow's rain Riding out till the scourge is gone Thundering across the prairie Crimson hour close at hand Right the wrong through the blood and bone Vengeance our path to glory Drive the invaders from our land By the river, see Soldiers, horses and cannons sleep Like the shadow, we crawl and creep To the edge of the glade At first light, from the forest We'll rush and strike Slaying every man in sight Down the Wabash they float We rise from every nation Unite for blood and home Drown the white shadow in the arrow's rain Riding out till the scourge is gone Thundering across the prairie The crimson hour close at hand Right the wrong through the blood and bone Vengeance our path to glory Drive the invaders from our land "This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." Riding out till the scourge is gone Thundering across the prairie Crimson hour close at hand Right the wrong through the blood and bone Vengeance our path to glory Drive the invaders from our land

Underneath the midnight star I pray for day to break As the silvery moon makes the river shine Like the back of an oily snake Crawling, slithering shadows Seem to coil around me, holding tight The pull of the water beneath the boat Drags me further into Night The strangling vines on the shore Twist on through the darkness forever Like hangmen's rope they sway Oh, heart of darkness Oh, heart of man I walk past the maimed in the Grove of Death To meet with Captain Kurtz A talented man, come to bring the light Sent to break the savage curse But my wonder drowns in horror As I see the madness in his eyes A petty, murderous tyrant Upon a throne of blood and flies Humanity stolen, betrayed Swallowed by darkness forever Led stumbling away Oh, heart of darkness Oh, heart of man Humanity broken, betrayed Lost in the darkness forever We're stumbling away Oh, heart of darkness Oh, heart of man

June of 1864 Captured by the rebel foe Huddled on a greyback train to Georgia The devils knew what hell we’d see As they muzzled forth our company Into this cage of pine Full of miseries and terror I dream of reaching home again Your face within my hands Beyond these walls lies eternity I’m coming back again God knows how or when But I’ll find my way We’ll live a simple life The day I bid farewell To Andersonville The months have wrought us skin and bone There’ll be no exchange, we shiver cold As the rain pours down on the poisoned ground from Heaven Here where hope’s a memory Freedom fades to reverie Cursed to envy those who’ve closed their eyes forever I’ll never see you face again I hope you’ll understand Past the deadline – lies eternity My broken soul awaits an end to the pain As I pass the line, may the bullet find it’s mark I bid farewell to thee And Andersonville I’ll never see your face again I hope you’ll understand Past the deadline lies eternity No coming back again, an end to the pain As I pass the line, may the bullet find it’s mark I bid farewell to you And Andersonville

Racked with pain, you hit the earth Down the hill, into the dirt Your ragged heart pounds in the dark It’s bitter lonely dirge So, will you stand or feed the crow? Only you know The fight is right where you belong Carry on March for the setting sun Seize the day before it’s gone Lift your weary face to the wind Carry on Smoke and ash all around Tattered flag upon the ground The hollow eyes of broken pride Can’t see where hope has flown So, will you stand or feed the crow? Only you know The road is the long, so sing your song Carry on March for the setting sun Seize the day before it’s gone Lift your weary face to the wind Carry on In every fire dying out Still burns a spark Whispering inside you all along You’ll carry on March for the setting sun Seize the day before it’s gone Lift your weary face to the wind Carry on

I’ve walked my way since the morning of time A seer, a devil some call me Wild man of the wood A council to rulers of men But the days of my kind are numbered they say One God comes to drive out the many With crosses and swords They hack up the roots of the old ways Over, over and over Mankind’s future has sailed Each new search for the Grail Ends in murder Soldiers and Kings Warring forever like soulless machines Scorching the Earth, building their empires To glory and greed How many times have I pleaded with you? To open your hearts to the Mystery Just to swing from a rope or burn on a fiery stake So, look not to me for the finding of hope There’s no re-arranging your nature All that’s sacred betrayed For the coin of the day, who could save you? As I look through the veil At your cursed bloody trail It’s all burning Soldiers and Kings Warring forever like soulless machines Scorching the Earth, building their empires To glory and greed Over, over and over One more look to the veil One more murder Soldiers and Kings Warring forever like soulless machines Scorching the Earth, building their empires To glory and greed

I am warrior soul Skin of leather and heart of stone Living the life death trembles to take Bones of the enemies in my wake I am fire and cold Born of thunder, I rage and roar Proud on my face the painted black hand Wrath of my fathers, I fear no man Burning in my eyes A thousand dying cries Screaming Oh, Hoka Hey! Death’s on the way Slashing through the storm Come find mercy here at the end of my arm As I snuff out each light, consign them to night The yellow hide will learn I cannot be tamed You’ll never claim My warrior soul Wakan Tanka prevail Spare one white man to tell the tale Of the fury that lives in the heart of the brave Who swallows his enemy’s parting wail Burning in my eyes A thousand dying cries Screaming Oh, Hoka Hey! Death’s on the way Slashing through the storm Come find mercy here at the end of my arm As I snuff out each light, consign them to night The yellow hide will learn I cannot be tamed You’ll never claim My warrior soul Screaming Oh, Hoka Hey! Death’s on the way Slashing through the storm Come find mercy here at the end of my arm

And so it goes Unstuck in time, safe below Cold walls of grey Behind them, no feeling, no flame Death is raining from the blackened sky Souls scream in fire Unheavenly choir Lights appear above They pull me through the air Far away from home Where to and to is fro Lights appear above Now voices call me back to life Far away from home Back to the slaughterhouse Will or fate? Fools know the difference it makes A tyrant waves another bloody flag Children play soldier As everything smolders Lights appear above They pull me through the air Far away from home Where to and to is fro Lights appear above Now voices call me back to life Far away from home Back to the slaughterhouse Death is raining from the blackened sky Souls scream in fire Unheavenly choir Lights appear above They pull me through the air Far away from home Where to and to is fro Lights appear above Now voices call me back to life Far away from home Far way, far away, far away from home Oh, save me from this slaughterhouse Now voices call me back to life Back to the slaughterhouse

Every hill seems a mountain high When you linger too long in its shadow Take a step and begin to climb Rise as your obstacles vanish far below All your world will be cold and grey If you choke it with worry and sorrow Feed your chances to come what may They'll grow into shining tomorrows Search for the warrior in your soul You'll find it's stronger than you know Throw all your fear in the fire, burn it Bury the past, break from the mire Dust off your spirit, you'll need it to chase away the night Time's wasting, so get back in the Battle of Life Every day can be like a stone If you carry your gifts like a burden Just like wings on your back, they're sewn Trust in their strength and your soaring Search for the warrior in your soul You'll find it's stronger than you know Throw all your fear in the fire, burn it Bury the past, break from the mire Dust off your spirit, you'll need it to chase away the night Time's wasting, so get back in the Battle of Life Throw all your fear in the fire, burn it Bury the past, break from the mire Dust off your spirit, you'll need it to chase away the night Time's wasting, so get back in the Battle of Life

The law of the Sioux, the rules of the earth 'gainst desire White man was warned, a message written in blood Nature's call, they were destined to fall Northern Cheyenne gathered a native alliance Thousands of men determined to ride until death Crazy Horse was changing the score The troops seeked shelter behind the rocks; the rocks Now Custer was left on his own driving his men into Hell Chorus: He realized this was his final day, the final day of his life No other way; no other way than to die A foolish game; a game he could not survive This was Custer's last stand at the battle of Little Big Horn June 25, a day to remember forever The indian wars at 1876 A nation burned, but what have we learned? And we are living the same old lie, but why? The present and future and past Tells us that nothing has changed Chorus: He realized this was his final day, the final day of his life No other way; no other way than to die A foolish game; a game he could not survive This was Custer's last stand at the battle of Little Big Horn Solo Chorus
