IV: Empires Collapse
In my mind I hear a rising whisper A transmission from the other side Getting closer drawing nearer Now my thoughts becomes so clear... Death becomes the reason for my prayer I call to you but no one is there Tell me there is more than this I cannot face the nothingness Confronted by a truth I can't deny I must break these chains That lock my mind No more mysteries To hide behind Ohh.... The truth can't be denied Now I will surrender to the flames To the flames To rise again We stand upon the threshold, nothing of the old shall remain Broken horizons Transcend the limits of my sight Broken Broken Horizon

Denied every chance to succeed What else can they take away from me Someone owns the air that I breathe Nothing left to take away... from me In the corner of my mind the clock is ticking Can't slow down the pace is unrelenting Must obey commands of the master Running but the wheel keeps turning faster Day after day, year after year All I can hear is the turning of the gears Day after day, year after year All I can hear is the turning of the gears Turning.... Turning... Turning... Someone make it stop! Day after day, year after year All I know is I can't hide from the fear Another day, Can't face another year When all I hear is the turning of the gears

I can't believe what I see What happened to society? Can you believe what you see? No! The time has come to raise your voice, now We're so sick of all these lies That show their face with no disguise Fighting wars across the sear But back home, the bank owns me That ain't right! All these wolves don't want you free So there you are with your TV Watch the news and be afraid Should they tell you who you should hate? Well... Doesn't matter what you believe It looks the same when you bleed It's one dimension One dimension! One dimension! Whoa-oh One dimension Under the sun All are one They're tearing us apart and it's only just the start And they say who lives or dies But they don't know who we are ONE! Only one! Hey man, that ain't no solution Judge, jury, execution! Doesn't matter what you believe It looks the same when you bleed It's one dimension One dimension! One dimension! Whoa-oh One dimension Under the sun All are one Makes no difference what you believe Cause tonight everyone bleeds For one dimension One dimension! One dimension! Ohhhhh yeah! One dimension All are one All are one!

Hunter! Seeker! A liar and deceiver Hiding behind my sight What is that sound? from somewhere out there in my mind the dakness creeping in It's watching from all sides Cybernetic talons are reaching into my mind Nowhere to hide HUNTER! SEEKER! I rise another day I awaken as a slave The eyes is watching me For my own security Feel the wind across my back I hear as the blade is drawn Programmed to assasinate A silent oblivion HUNTER! SEEKER! You are being watched They are always watching Watching Waiting The eye never sleeps Never You are being watched I rise another day I awaken as a slave Operation Prism Turn The World to grey

One thousand miles of highway, and zero points of light The road stretches before me, no end in sight I tear across the valleys dividing space and time I look upon this world and I know that it is dying... A new sun rises Another... Descends into the night, at terrifying speed Smoke rises from the desert As the lines begin to bleed Together in the blackness With presences unknown Another thought is in my mind But it is not my own Desolation Isolation Behold the ascension Of a new star I need to find the key Unlock the hidden door And lift the veil so I can see once more Across endless deserts Beyond... the skies Black sun, black moon Rising hiiigh!

No... this can't be happening Trying to forget, what I've become Why? I fight with all my strength But still the scars remain Still they remain... Searching for something that I will never find How... was I so blind? Another life is washed away Nothing is left but pain There is no change Time heals nothing Scars! Scars remain Scars remain Scars remain Time heals nothing Pull me from the gutter, away from all the lies I cannot face reality, the fear that grows inside My heart is rising, and soon it will turn black Once I step across that line there's no way to turn back Rolling in the vomit, the blood and the filth Blinded by the alcohol, the drugs, and the pills I fight another battle, the violence begins The enemy is me, so how can I win? Another life is washed away Nothing exists but pain There is no change Time heals nothing Scars! Scars remain Scars remain Scars remain Time heals nothing Rise out from the shadow Leave the old self behind Within lies the strength To triumph, above all Above! Rise!

Infinite Incarnate once again Know I have been summoned By the voices in your head And know it was your priest That gave me human form Corruption of the innocent They wait for my return Weakening the minds Blinding of the eyes You kneel before the altar And now you are mine (Chorus) Eternal dark i will descend Where there is light i am the end Cause in the shadows of the night... Witness the dying of the light! Its secret warns the blood is spilled You reap what you have sewn The kings send mortars to their deaths From high atop their thrones Behold the wasteland Where no more life exists Welcome to the world you have created (Chorus) Eternal dark i will descend Where there is light i am the end Cause in the shadows of the night Witness the dying... The dying of the light! The earth opens beneath your feet Unleashing FIRE... AHHHH!!! From the books the word is spoken At last i have been made whole... AGAIN! Dying... Dying Light! Witness the dying of the light... LIGHT!!!! You've brought back what was once concealed And now... Your fate is sealed!

Drowning! I descend Sinking endlessly A light is shining from somewhere far below A pale glow reflecting From lost temples of stone... A thousand years Since the day they saw the sun Secrets of Atlantis, forgotten no more Far, far beneath the ocean The temples are emerging And the monuments arise Leviathan approaching At the coming of the tides Out from the depths Out from the depths below We drown Drown Titans walk upon the earth again Skies are cracked, the sea rushes in Cities fall beneath the surging tides The ancient gods shall rise Out from the depths Out from the depths below We drown Drown

Burn down all the towers Tear them to the ground Their time is at an end The time to strike is now Off with their heads! Those who have lied To us about the past They lied about tomorrow They promised us a future Brought only pain and sorrow Liars! Off with their heads! Those who have lied Off with their heads! The axe is coming down

Ultimate power Is all that they crave Taking everything away We are enslaved All consuming never ending reaching to the sky Coils wrapped around the throne of lies Towers... Towers! TOWERSOFTHESERPENT They speak with poisoned tongues And think with poisoned minds They seek the jeweled crown And cannot be denied The knife twists in my back My mind under attack The power over flesh A gleam in the eye of set Higher... Higher! Tearing through the clouds No end in sight 'Till all have bowed Infidel defilers Drown in lakes of blood Witness your new masters The men who will be gods Towers... Towers! TOWERSOFTHESERPENT They speak with poisoned tongues And think with poisoned minds Their words will draw you in Don't look into their eyes The dagger in my back The venom in my veins Who controls the flesh A gleam in the eye of set A gleam in the eye! Never turn your back They deceive and they beguile There is a way for every father taught There are fangs behind each smile I've seen the golden ages past The glory days long gone A nation hangs in tethered sorrow Exiled from the sun The vultures circle overhead Towers that blaze with fire Picking at the bones Of our fallen empire
