Unto this world I was born (Innocence scorned) Oaths were broken and pain bestowed Innocence mourned Trust betrayed, smiles were faked Desire turned hate Faces of loved ones (loved ones) are long decayed Alone in this world, alone and so cold Shiver in rain, my story unfolds A broken vessel, endless pieces of me Friends are now foes Those who betray love's labours lost A true passion play Forked tongues drip with lies Serpents hold me down, I cannot fly The dark within my eyes "I hate this place This zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it..." Saint I'm not Pure in mind and thought Masks I wear In this stage we share Will we ever bare these fears and hopes within one and all? "And thus I clothe my naked villainy with old odd ends stolen forth from holy writ, and seem a saint when most I play the devil." Cracks they show in the mirrors of my soul When I break, why do they all forsake? Is life but a mistake? Why do they smile when I fall apart? Go! Pick yourself up You are the end, now the chapter is done Cry as you might to the gods you adore They hear you not, as they never before

As I cradle thy broken and weakened form Lay my hands upon thy cold brow You cannot let it go You shall not slip away Please take my hand So breathe once more Rise and wake up, my son! Open thy eyes and be as one

Darkness, I believe thee not Thy empty words shall avail thee naught A fire in this heart of mine To gaze again upon these walls of thine Desire to soar once more Upon these broken wings on which I've flown before Tongues of flame shall paint the canvas red As once told, I shall part the rising sea Seeds from the blood that I shed Feet sink deeper into grains of golden sand knee-deep Every step I take is a drop in this sea of sleep in which I have swum and drowned The wind whispers death as temptation drips from her song Tears run dry - will I survive? Hear my cry - will I arrive? Heading home forever more All past grief is now gone The gift of life to me they bequest Mine is the sight in the blindness as I'm treading through the path in darkness

[Translation – Hebrew?] "He will inscribe us in the book of life" Across the golden dunes, the desert stretches so long Scorching heat burns, the wind sings its barren song And so you live your life, you rise and fall and rise and fall You weep, you slip, and you dive into the deep But will you become the compass who navigates this ship? Ride! Across the land and into the dawn Ride! My gaze is fixed on the goal, the throne Ride! Faster and stronger, the wind at my heels Ride! My eyes clear with the strength of steel All that remains is to gather my strength With truth on my side, I shall awaken and ride

And mayest thou our morning prayer receive, O Lord, as though it were the offering that was wont to be brought day by day continually. O thou, whose mercy faileth not, to us thy heavenly grace accord: Deal kindly with thy people's lot, and grant them life, our king and lord. Let thou the mark of life appear upon their brow from year to year, as when were daily want to be the offerings brought continually."

[Hebrew] ושם, משאול תחתית ומחיי עבדות מתוך תחבולת רעל העץ שב הלוחם, וקם על רגליו ובעוצמת ליבו, ודבקות אמונתו נשבע הוא כי לא יהיה עוד ליתום ומעתה יהא הוא לברכה - אור לעולם [English:] "And there, from infernal depths and life of slavery, from the scheming of the poisoned tree, the warrior returned and rose. With his heart's might and faith's conviction, he swore to be an orphan nevermore, and from this day onwards he shall be a blessing, illumination to this world." You see it clearly now, you are the one Your destiny, your will be done Like clay, you shape your own reality You paint your own moon, stars and sun This is the time in which you must decide In servitude or life of pride? Thy name shall be henceforth ORwarriOR And to the very few, lochem ha'or El Norra, guide the ones who stand alone The ones to be, the ones before You are the guiding path, ORwarriOR The one foretold in days of yore A shield against the raging of the storm A blade of truth forevermore

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper In thy never ending way

Followers are we, disciples are we all Bonded by a sacred oath as we heed the silent call Though we know it not, our purpose is but one To crack the night sky, letting in the sun The life we live is not enough We know there's something more A place that frightens most What lies beyond the door Still searching for the truth, the paradise before Have we lost the path, denied innocence's shores? Like a ship afloat at sea, a Flying Dutchman are we? Destined to roam the seas, locked out without a key Is it curtain call on this theater so black? Will the actors all bow down before the ending stark? Torches lit as the flames light up the dark All it takes is a spark for us to leave our mark War is a gaping wound, an appetite that knows no fill Do not bleed for sand and stones Mend these wounds and heal Break bread with us, nomad, hear our tale How brother fought brother as fire burnt the sails An oath we took, one we shall not fail Steadfast we stand Oak and shield are we, water in the Grail Lay down your swords, blood and flesh you share Seed of Abraham, sons of Ishmael Grieve for ones lost, memory stains the trail The road to Or-Shalem [Arabic] الله نور السموات والأرض مثل نوره كمشكاةٍ فيها مصباح يهدي الله لنوره من يشاء ويضرب الله الأمثال للناس والله بكل شيءٍ عليم [English:] "Allah is the light of heavens and earth. His light is like a blessed niche that needs no fire to set ablaze. Allah guides to his light those who find him in their hearts, and sets forth parables for mankind. Allah is cognizant of all." Shall we see the end of war, blood brothers? Or shall we fill another grave for ourselves we couldn't save? Weapon of mass obstruction Our hate does blind us all to the grief of a widow's tears To the sum of all our fears throughout these blood-red years For land, for faith! For that eternal thirst within that we pray for death to fill For revenge, for hate! For these innocent souls that with their lies they steal We view this land of destruction after the siege that broke through the wall A trial is held for the guilty before a court of their peers "Sentenced to death!" is the sound that they hear For war, for death! For the pain bestowed upon those they swore to protect For us, for them! For taking our rights and our will to object Land. Faith. Revenge. Hate. Death. Us. Them. Fight. Stand. Live. On. We. Must. Or shall we fill another grave for ourselves we couldn't save?

Saracen blood spilled as crosses are rising high Men giving their lives, for the Holy See they die Walls surround this golden city like a crown of thorns Will the wailing ever cease? Will we forever mourn? Behold, memories of wars are rising as we're building the New Jerusalem Men and children toil in the blazing sun Mortar and brick, no walls between father and son These green and pleasant fields that surround The city once apart that now is one Bygone crusades and wasted lives are gone as we're breathing the New Jerusalem

This life is dark and lifeless grey One stands alone, in life we decay An uphill struggle every day We sell our souls, we do betray But know this as you drown within you The crimson touch of hope still fights Through the veil truth doth shine Let there be light [Hebrew] גואל שבור באש מסתור להב חרבו, מבט עינו טהור [English:] “Broken redeemer in fire hidden The blade of his sword, pure is his sight” [Romanization:] Goel shavur vaesh mistor Lahav ḥarbo mabat eno tohor (x2) In the bleak house you do dwell Heartbeat drowns in the sound of the knell An hourglass, clock ticking away Pray to idols the sentence to sway But know this as you’re lost within you The crimson touch of hope in sight Through the veil truth doth shine Let there be light [Hebrew] כמוהו בחושך מהלכים אין ספור תקוות ליבם אחת היא -- ויהי אור [English:] “As him in darkness, countless walk Let there be light - Thee I invoke” [Romanization:] Kamohu baḥoshek maheliḥim en spor Tekvot libam aḥat Hi-Vayehi Or

Stare into the light, eclipse the sun Am I, am I the chosen one? I feel naught but emptiness Are you the father? Am I your son? Stare at - Stare into the light (Praises I sang) Are they - Are they undone? (Are they undone?) Stare at - Stare into the light (Do not forsake) The orphaned - The orphaned one (Am I your son?)

This is a resistance dispatch Codeword: Illumination Codeword: Illumination The one shall stand against the horde From the underground we take hold Power is word, power is sword Legion are we all this day, blessed with second sight The violin was played as Rome was set aflame Shall the grief of war forever be the same? Banners must be raised, for hope has to prevail Oars to the water, to a promised land we sail Divided we shall fall, to stand we must unite Give us your blessing, Barakah
Thy castles we shall storm Hierarchy of light is taking form Enemies fall as dawn is born Strike fear, all units act as one Thin red line, the power of man Ours is the path of light Redemption through superior firepower Mirrors shall crack, now is the hour Sing in praise Thy dark caress In thee I wait Lie still, lie still Rage engulfs my very being! A holy fire burns in your mind God is perceived as a thing that's so vile End lives of pure men, and their beloved wives Sons and daughters they hold dear you'll defile In thy sin you shall dwell No humanity, a landscape of hell See now the depths into which you have fell Into death, ending life Blood flows again in the river Nile We are the terrorists of light Shadows that haunt the innermost depths of your soul unseen to most We are the sparks that shine so bright Shall not live on bended knee, shall not lay down our arms while we stand These iron shields are raised Armed brothers together we stand Holding our ground No quarter is given, no quarter is asked Enter the fray We fight not for gain, but for freedom, not land Storming the walls of ancient stone Seven times we surround 'till they crush to the ground in a thunderous sound O brothers, let's drink to the battles ahead Remember the fallen ones and the souls of the dead Memories linger of these wars in which we fought and bled Sing in praise Thy endless rage In thee it waits Lies still, lies still Right and wrong they seem too clear A target you wish for now beckons so near God is within us all, what we hold dear Ending of life is the ending of fear Sons and daughters, they shall end our tears In thy belief, no hate you feel but the will to forgive See now the truth, the one which you believe Into desire, ending the storm that still rages inside We are the terrorists of light Prometheus to all, torches that burn in mighty halls, shadows denied We are the stars that shine so bright Alpha and omega are one, the yin and the yang intertwined Light a match in the dark and watch it burn as the fires grow In the veins of the world, we are the blood that pumps and flows Shadows reflected on fallen walls when the beacon is lit The masks that we wear are the hearts on our sleeves Enter the sacrament, lead us not to a path of deceit

I stand above you now Slowly taking your soul The god of gods, the corruptor I stand above you all Hear my never-ending lie Ride the wind Control your life Bringing swiftly The lord demise I fight against all fire I will never tire I am above all lords I am the god of gods Your shell is empty It will not take a long for you to fall Seventh is the sacred number I've now awoken from years of slumber

Traveling the world To cure my disease For years I'm traveling The seven seas The blackened And bleeding sky They tare off my close demise The pain it paled me To the pits of despair Helpless I'll be My own heart I tear My true self spilled out Death is close no doubt Forbidden it is for man to kill a man Because of it I'm god dammed
