Darkness Will Rise

Destroy all you've ever known And hide the lies of your purity One last time burn it down And watch the skies fall tonight Souls turn to ashes Darkness will rise

Still awaiting the promised land Scared to face what lies ahead I make my way through this blood and sand I pray to god because this must end Will you set me free And let me live my life in solace now Eradicate this dream There's nothing left but penance for me now In the distance I see a light I look again towards total darkness He's watching me as he laughs aloud You'll never make it once it's despair you've found Will you set me free And let me live my life in solace now Eradicate this dream There's nothing left but penance for me now Man falling down from the life which he leads Searching the skies for something to believe The vulture preys when your courage dies You're left alone it's just you and your mind As repent overpowers me My body crumbles it's the end that I see Will you set me free And let me live my life in solace now Eradicate this dream There's nothing left but penance for me now Man falling down from the life which he leads Searching the skies for something to believe Will you remember my name at the end My faith is now broken so farewell my friend

It's the age of the raven and now they are spreading their wings With just one thing in their minds they burn and destroy everything In a cloud of aggression they swoop to take their prey again As they're circling the air their dark shadows are cast over me Will they take me? Will they take them? Will they take us all as their victims? If you show them the fear in your eyes, you will never be free Do we stand up and fight them or run and hide never be seen? As you stare at the city, the place is a burial ground Left in hiding are those who are hunted, don't dare make a sound Will they pray for me? Will they take them? Will they take us all as their victims? Will God answer me, hear my prayers now? Will he save me from this hell on earth? Now do I save myself? Leave it all behind and leave everyone else to die? As they're being eaten alive And they take out their eyes, leave them blind This time I fight I must search within myself and find whatever it takes to survice Never facing my fears always turning to run But this time I will overcome In the distance we hear them the ravens preparing to fly And the thunder of wings getting closer reign down from the sky The invasion of black is a dark cloud that covers the sun Now the darkness descending upon us there's nowhere to run Will they pray for me? Will they take them? Will they take us all as their victims? Will God answer me, hear my prayers now? Will he save me from this hell on earth? Now do I save myself? Leave it all behind and leave everyone else to die? As they're being eaten alive And they take out their eyes, leave them blind This time I fight I must search within myself and find whatever it takes to survice Never facing my fears always turning to run But this time I will overcome Waiting for weakness then preying no mercy is given With all this bloodshed and crying I beg for the end I must search within myself and find whatever it takes to survice Never facing my fears always turning to run But this time I will overcome I must search inside myself and see all the courage that's deep within me Never facing my fears always running away The beginning of a Raven Age is upon us

In the cold of winter's fall They planned to captivate us all They would work us 'til our bones were broken and our souls followed I met a man who saved my life 'Til this day I don't know why He would smuggle gifts sent for me that would buy my life some time Walking there were thousands of us, nothing like you've seen before With the ice beneath us, feet were frozen and our clothes were torn But it would be a cold day in hell before I fall In their dark and sunken eyes Hope and humanity had died All the feeling and emotion in them had been cauterized You gave me something to believe When the end was not in sight As I drifted into darkness you provided me with light Walking there were thousands of us, nothing like you've seen before With the ice beneath us, feet were frozen and our clothes were torn But it would be a cold day in hell before I fall Maybe I'll let the heavens take me And save me from this life Or is that giving up too easy I cannot let them win the fight Another life awaiting me I see the finish line Nothing can stop me from living The Death March claims me no more They're turning ordinary people into lifeless ghostly shadows And I was powerless to stop them, spreading death amongst us all Still I can dream of a place far from here Where we eat and we sleep never living in fear Maybe I'll let the heavens take me And save me from this life Or is that giving up too easy I cannot let them win the fight Another life awaiting me I see the finish line Nothing can stop me from living The Death March claims me no more

In the time of the puritan A village controlled by fear Like a sickness it spread through everyone On Salem darkness would fall The tales of witches told Haunting the minds of the young They weren't to know from right or wrong If god wills it thy will be done If god wills it thy will be done... This fear of the unknown captures our minds Our faith is with god he decides Which evil is this my dear afflicting your soul Just call out the name I must know Rest assured No devil's night I'll see them condemned to die We'll watch the life leave their eyes Another accusation thy will be done Upon gallows hill they'll be hung To cleanse this village of evil answer to me I'm the chosen one you will see Rest assured No devil's night I'll see them condemned to die We'll watch the life leave their eyes Through the night I hear their cries I picture flesh and fire You can't take me I'm not to blame It's all to entertain I fear not witches and ghosts Puritan blood surges through my veins under oath But in this perfect world sometimes darkness falls And everyone should be afraid Rest assured No devil's night I'll see them condemned to die We'll watch the life leave their eyes Through the night I hear their cries I picture flesh and fire You can't take me I'm not to blame It's all to entertain

Fear is not within I can sense the evil coming And now I can't erase them from my mind I know for I have seen Firsthand how they will break you down Merciful one does not exist This needless suffering (that falls upon me) These demons are not real (in my eye) Their voices will return someday We can but stare into the sun And rise above the flames I realize I'm not the chosen one But I'll burn you to the ground The face not to be seen So why should I believe it Cannot let these feelings take over me Right before my eyes Is it testament to fighting back Without a chances of repeat This needless suffering (that falls upon me) These demons are not real (in my eye) Their voices will return someday We can but stare into the sun And rise above the flames I realize I'm not the chosen one I've never said these words before Now I feel betrayed For I Once was The same as you Fear of failure Crawling back now Begging to forgive In this life we've No second chances Falling out of here We can but stare into the sun And rise above the flames I realize I'm not the chosen one But I'll burn you to the ground Now I feel betrayed For I once was the same

Is it just me or am I thinking too freely There's something running through my head that shouldn't be I cannot speak aloud what I'm really feeling I close my eyes try to believe these stories Deep down there's something telling me A false sense of security As we adhere to all these things that you're preaching Are you so sure of all these things that you're teaching Uncertainty won't let me stand up against it But all this seems to cause is war and hatred You're all too ignorant to see, It's all for power and for greed You are the puppets on the strings It's time to wake up from these force fed lies No chance for choices when they shield your eyes Don't let me be the only one who sees Because I'm the eye among the blind When people sacrifice their loved ones for honour There's nothing honourable in cold blooded murder Relentless chaos and destruction in god's hands Can't help but think is this really his plan Deep down there's something telling me A false sense of security You're all too ignorant to see It's all for power and for greed You are the puppets on the strings It's time to wake up from these force fed lies No chance for choices when they shield your eyes Don't let me be the only one who sees Because I'm the eye among the blind How will I ever win this fight So many on the other side They're controlling all your minds And no one hears me cry Think of children born and left All hopes and dreams bereft The effects of a whole civilisation blinded Put your trust in all divine Blaming all your brothers Never knowing if wrong or right Praying for the answers When it comes down to real life Where to point the finger You're all pointing to the sky Claiming for the greater It's time to wake up from these force fed lies No chance for choices when they shield your eyes Don't let me be the only one who sees Because I'm the eye among the blind It's time to wake up from these force fed lies No chance for choices when they shield your eyes Don't let me be the only one who sees Because I'm the eye among the blind

The days have come for me to To leave behind all I've ever known What will the path I take choose PUBLICIDAD I'll never know until I do I feel the time approaching soon To leave the place of my whole childhood They say you're on now your own When I all I want is my safe home Just don't appreciate how you've been living Until it's all taken away Remember all of the basic traditions That you've been brought upon Life flashes before your eyes to see just who you become You tried to remember But still cannot seem to impress the thought of you moving on Why is this happening I am waiting for Are you waiting for the day to come When the place of our memories is slowly taken away I'll never be ready for the Winds of change The times of change which will be resolution I just cannot see them right now Maybe I shouldn't have taken it for granted I'll fall on my feet somehow Life flashes before your eyes to see who you become You tried to remember But still cannot seem to impress the though of you moving on Why is this happening I am waiting for Are you waiting for the day to come When the place of our memories is slowly taken away I'll never be ready for the Winds of change As the time defeats me Will I ever find my way from here Or will I keep returning To the place I've always known I must open my eyes I can't ignore this change in times Time waits for no man To see for what he finds I know you want to wait cause now This place has made me who I am I can draw pictures of the days When all you were is fade away Time stands isolation takes me now My mind descends from common ground I wish away my chances for the The chance to be at home once more I am waiting for Are you waiting for the day to come When the place of our memories is slowly taken away I'll never be ready for the Winds of change

Looking back i should have read the sings Before me Blinded by the light of my assumptions It dragged me down I hate the way try to make me feel I owe you Reality The chains aroud my wrists And as result i'm bleeding Bleeding dry I'm screaming Begging you to wake up and realise That these walls are closing in on Us and now they're shodowing the light So when i find a way without you and your life No simple fate and no regrets and no to Hold your breath I can't believe i lead myself this way No reason No second chance relying on one person to light the flame They crush her mind We're running out of time And I'm sure And I'm afraid We're falling through the cracks now And that we'll never make it through I'm screaming Begging you to wake up and realise That these walls are closing in on Us and now they're shodowing the light So when i find a way without you and your life No simple fate and no regrets and no to Hold your breath I can't be Watching this Slip away I can't be Watching this Slip away I can't be Watching this Slip away I can't be Watching this Slip away I'm screaming Begging you to wake up and realise That these walls are closing in on Us and now they're shodowing the light So when i find a way without you and your life No simple fate and no regrets and no to Hold your breath Hold your breath

Silence speaks louder than words This is my revenge You never can escape the lies within A long time ago I befriended a demon unknown (But I found out) Dressed in disguise but could tell from a look to the eyes (Something wasn't right) Still I went on unaware good intentions were false (Underneath it) All a facade just a cover to throw us all off Now I think of those times How could I have been so blind? It seems I'd create my own demise They were lead deep inside Right behind enemy lines Ready to shoot to kill Serpent of fire, no recollection of desire (From the beginning) Forgive I've sinned, a statement you'd never given (No apology) Greed was a choice, if you listen you'd hear in (The voice of obsession) Head hung in shame, I've no pity only you to blame Now I think of those times How could I have been so blind It seems I'd create my own demise They were lead deep inside Right behind enemy lines Ready to shoot to kill Now the truth shall be known from the start As we spill the blood from your heart I should know now the lies never end But trust and loyalty mean something more To me than this life you enforce I think it's time that I finally claim my revenge Follow into the darkness and fulfill your thriving greed Just be prepared to die in chain for the world to see I see an image of a man stripped of humanity Sitting disgraced with them, I hope they never set you free Now the truth shall be known from the start As we spill the blood from your heart I should know now the lies never end But trust and loyalty mean something more To me than this life you enforce I think it's time that I finally claim my revenge

As I'm gazing out across the empty shoreline There are many questions running through my mind As the waves caress the rocks upon my island I count the days until I feel them on my skin Have I become The very one The very man I hoped I'd never have to me Look at me now I'm here somehow And I'm surrounded by the weeping of the sea This cage that I call my home Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul The dying embers of life in me are gone As I lay here growing older As the night begins to fall and day is fading Told mantic by the flickering of city lights But when I lay my mind to rest a dream of freedom I hope I never have to open up my eyes The damage done All hope is gone This place was built for people never to escape Beyond these walls Lies everything I ever wanted but for now I'll have to wait This cage that I call my home Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul The dying embers of life in me are gone As I lay here growing older This cage that I call my home Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul The dying embers of life in me are gone As I lay here growing older

Lost I'm running in circles again But It seems all these doors are open Like mirrors reflecting the truth Begins Nothing Nowhere Blackness Despair Wait I see something moving ahead I must not let myself get drawn in There's a man in a mask reaching out to lay his hand Will I never find a way Out of this place Everywhere I seem to turn All looks the same Still walk this lonely road When will It end I can't see my fall from grace These aching moments Just to obliterate my skin Where do I go now I cannot find my way home In desperation I am hiding the truth Only to be found out in the end Now I see though their blood thirsty gaze And I realize that I am the prey Disguising intentions to them Betrayed Now I know All these treacherous secrets you keep Now my anguish is lifted from me Sincerity failed only left Deceit Will I never find a way Out of this place Everywhere I seem to turn All looks the same Still walk this lonely road When will It end I can't see my fall from grace These aching moments Just to obliterate my skin Where do I go now I cannot find my way home In desperation I am hiding the truth Only to be found out in the end As I drown my dignity I try to understand this life Find a place where I belong The truth burns up inside And the flames provide the light to find That I've never belonged here at all As I drown my dignity I try to understand this life Where do I belong The truth burns up inside And the flames provide the light to find That I've never belonged here at all These aching moments Just to obliterate my skin Where do I go now I cannot find my way home In desperation I am hiding the truth Only to be found out in the end
