Ripe for Rebellion

I walk along the way, I'm left alone again But I believe that this is not the end. You lied to me but you can know for sure that by my life I swear I will never fall anymore. No fear no weakness I prepare my mind If you are not so brave you can stay behind. All your promises are broken I know, I choose my own path wherever I go. Now when my war begins Victory will belong to me! To the fight I go, strong until the end, Ready to die alone. If you are not with me get out of my way Now I'm on my own through this road...

Guard your patch, crave the ground, the lines I traced are before your yes... To tempt you, to divide you To shake the rust from the old art. Then truce came and I laughed hard At words that won't soothe your angry mind Your fate is to be drawn in... My game board's set and awaiting. Mutual curse, war cry, both heralds slain I can't help but taste this day of chaos. RAGE ON, RAGE ON, That the wicked wheel needs turning RAGE ON, RAGE ON, State you greatness RAGE ON, RAGE ON, That you think history will enshrine One whole page for you. This lad will die so lonely When greed turns man to dust so soon His name won't be remembered Carved on a stone that's to erode. Your great deeds make fine seeds They lie beneath and are all alike To please me, to release me, The wheel prepares for a new turn. Your guts and little glory Are spread like compost in your last breath You glimpsed me, when you realized That no one's sorry for your death... But I did give meaning to your days Then you might just thank me for such service.

I was born with a mortal sin I remember the same old story Since I have memory I'm guilty beyond my will. In the name of the cross I have learned that I should be sorry With blind faith I must pay the price Every day of my life. You tried to cloud my eyes with shame, I know Until I understood that guilt is control. Without fear... Now I am facing your truth... Faith or Hell!! Without fear... Now I am facing your truth... Faith or Hell!! From the fraud of the creed To the promise of hell or heaven Herd of lambs, put to sleep To the hum of the deadned verse. I'd rather sink my feet in burning oil "the mind is the true cage"... that, I've learned on my own. Right or wrong aren't to be read from an aging book... Better have blank pages and my life to write.

Sinner in life, and redeemed just before death Currents of time warn when they are close So the dying can feel what is next. Judgement has come along with his blade Creeping the Reaper will rise Whipping in flames smashing my head Bringing shadows of those I have killed. Tried to explain but I burn in despair Now he awaits to sentence me and torture me in hell. Then I realize I must subjugate Facing my acts and past crimes I never knew what true fear was about Till I felt I was next in the trial. With each passing second I'm further convinced Nothing is granted all debts must be paid. Hey you spirits of the night Is the tune afar the Reaper's lullaby? Hey you if I close my eyes Will I wake to repair what I've done?

Far beyond the hills Where the wind's no leaf to stir Stillness cracked all hope. Hunted down like doe Saw the murkuncharted dare Our very pledge to endure. Had no choice, for I knew your wounds... Unarmed I charged at the herd of wolves. When fate called, it found me fierce Fate called - Million beigns beheld me soar high They pierce like white pikes the night Fate calls for me! Near the barley fields Where I'd play at dusk as child Where our ways were sown... Follow you for hours To your death on humid ground Star-like boding in yellow. "For your kin" taught the firefly I dwell in them, I burn in the sky. When fate called, it found me fierce Fate called - Million beigns beheld me soar high They pierce like white pikes the night Fate calls for me!

Bonfires dot the rolling hills Figures dance around and around To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness Moving to the pagan sound. Somewhere in a hidden memory Images float before my eyes Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires And dancing till the next sunrise. CHORUS I can see lights in the distance Trembling in the dark cloak of night Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing A waltz on All Souls Night. Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows Held up tall as the flames leap high The green knight holds the holly bush To mark where the old year passes by. CHORUS I can see lights in the distance Trembling in the dark cloak of night Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing A waltz on All Souls Night. Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides Figures dance around and around To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness And moving to the pagan sound. Standing on the bridge that crosses The river that goes out to the sea The wind is full of a thousand voices They pass by the bridge and me

All that I was, All that I've lived, Everything that I can remember Lies in the past and will die in my mind. Nobody can change what I've done Nobody can rewrite my story There's no regret that can rebuild what is lost And I know That old good days will never come Back again. They're gone with the river, Never will return; gone with the river When all is gone with the river. There's nothing more to do except to get up, Carry on, and don't look behind. Lessons are learnt only with pain, But you must not feel guilty, Soon you will know that every wound is a chance. Yesterday's gone All our deeds lie in the memories of people And when it dies (at the end) it will be lost, And I know

I saw a hawk willing to fly under blackened skies Holding against a storm that came and's not turning back I heard a cry fading out in the thickest numbness Warning all of us never to be swallowed up by the void. Born in the dark age - with their fallen souls, fallen souls Its in the dark age... that we drift on our own Will we ever spread our wings of gold over the landscape... and restore what's lost. Loners in packs, filling the streets, see through lifeless eyes, Aching for coins, dullness resets with each passing sun... Stumbling their way over bodies dead or dying... Screwed to a routine that is able to squeeze the most of our souls. I heard a cry fading out in the thickest numbness Warning all of us never to be swallowed up by the void.

You brought forth an army of clowns fit for the masses daft It seems I'm always on the wrong side. Three of four words that you repeat If you ask me that's rather dim In this game I play the traitor. Wave the flag, take control Gobble up, then go for more. March on, men of Clay are you selves or slaves? Don't put strings on me 'cause I don't want to be A puppet from your legions of fools I am breaking the rules! I spit at your wind of lies, It won't serve to change my mind Your preach, you shriek, you're weak You hide it fine. Where were they in times of war? Are they proud they've missed the show? The past, a day ago Look, they just forgot.

Maker of the rules... Leader of the men... Why do you send me straight to death? Lying to the nations, Spreading fear in all, You played with the lives of millions. To our backs you made an enemy Now we have to pay the price of your greed. FAKING A WAR FAKING A WAR FAKING A WAR We are not just pieces on a board Who live under your whim at all. Speak to the crowd... Tell them they will die... Four our homeland and our flag. I guess it must be easy To sacrifice the lives of the others In front of your eyes. To our backs you made an enemy Now we have to pay the price of your greed.
