Beneath the Heel of Oppression

a beast considered slain now rests within the realm of reason no longer confident that legends speak in fragmented lore

the dragons rise from the land of lost beginnings into a world that's long since looked and turned away yet hope remains that we may find these phantoms and show this world what they are still afraid to say do not accept the answers given by those with evil bias do not accept the truth they've come to in their delusions tomorrow's time is doomed to be forsaken as each day passes when we are forced to live in fear for here we stand, our truth is our only shelter from the hatred that spews forth from what they dread to hear rise. we will arise. we will regroup. we will arise for this is not the end. we will arise to fight the air of ignorance around us we will not stray from battle, we will not fall victim should we succumb to those forces that seek to destroy us all hope will be forgotten, all truth will not be seen and so we ride into the fray on backs of dragons we will soar we shall not fall, not on this day we shall receive our great reward the fight begins, the weapons clash the enemy is falling fast with mighty steeds of creatures past our day of hope will come at last the sun has set, the war is gone our dead lay numbered on the ground yet still we fight what can't be seen our enemy cannot be found no truth can stop the depth of misguidance we're far too gone to ever overcome the dragons fall beneath the heel of oppression despite the power, the truth is a pill that will not be swallowed

when truth is relative the lies all seem to bleed together and all becomes nothing for the heart of us has been let down the war has risen as the enemy approaches and he has made his methods clear the heart of us is broken as we step into the flame that he has deemed our final home judge for youself the actions of those we wrongly call father as the enemy forces his plans upon us we must rise up and show our true allegiance tolerance for a system of mass revision must be extinquished and replaced with the heart of us the key to your heart is the end of darkness as it opens the door to another world heaven is crying. look at what you've done the fury of the fight is what needs to be instilled upon us all reworded and abused, subjected and removed from what we should be today resistance is all that we have left the hope must never die as the heart of us will try to live on heaven sheds a tear all for what you've done

time will pass before us and before the sun is gone we shall sing in victory as if it were our only song for the wicked here are brewing and a dark day we shall name as we surround ourselves in pleasure we subject ourselves to pain the life of a sinner is a song you've yet to sing but the tune is surely ringing in your ear inside you admire what the truth has come to be a false security to numb your deepest fear your hopeless bliss, your dreamless nightmare their endless bliss, their perfect nightmare a warrior i must become if i'm to see the morning sun some heartbeats fade, still mine beats on and still i strive to be reborn a warrior i must become if i'm to see the morning sun some heartbeats fade, still mine beats on and i must be reborn with the sword of belief at hand i still endure this wicked sorrow tempted by my quest for power and by my own selfish remains time will pass before us and before the sun is gone we shall sing in victory as if it were our only song now the time is gone and i pray to be forgiven i fear the day will come when my prayers will be too late

as night turns into morning, our cries will fill the air we will not stand for persecution of our true birthright the swords will clash with thunder, their sheilds will bend and break they have no right to cast us into the realm of idols you are the ones who claim to bow to no outside influence and yet you are the first to wear your precious uniform you banish all who fail to fall within your certain limits all while you declare you will absolutely not conform but you do conform as brothers we ride into to realm of despair come stand by my side and you will surely be spared attacks are closing in we are surrounded now the battle rages on our spirits will not foul alright! we can use their own weapons against them c'mon! they don't know what we are capable of as day turns into darkness, the fight continues on it seems as though they won't accept us for what we are and so our sheilds are mounted, our hearts stand in defense as we seek not to conquer but only to live in peace as brothers we ride into the realm of despair come stand by my side and you will surely be spared despite our true convictions, this is not our crusade enlightenment is our means, you fear we will enslave to those who stand against us lend me your ear i bring a word of hope not a display of fear we will never surrender our sacred vows we will never resign, we will never be forced to bow to those who stand against us lend me your ear i bring a word of hope not a display of fear

we wait in line, standing still this seems like forever this mess will never clear these hearts are beating here will these people ever go or will i wait forever? this mess will never clear these hearts are beating near... near each other, forced apart the day that we all lived together in infamy the end of the live will never see true freedom once again and will always be the end of the line so many lives impacted, so many lives destroyed so take your false sympathies and drive on by i'm front in line, standing still i'm not all together living mess on the road changes everything i know horns blazing, heart fading my vision's blacking out living mess on the road changes everything i know i will cherish the day you bled my solace away and i will bleed for you tonight i will bleed for you, i will always bleed for you i will bleed for you, i will always die for you i will bleed for you, i will die for you

behold the power of the righteous as we march into the battlefield with shields of metal mightier than steel their spears of destiny will never strike us down as we defend His holy kingdom and His crown these are the final days so we shall make them last our greatest weapon is our wisdom of the past ignorance is fatal bliss deadlier than satan's kiss open your heart and search for the truth open your heart to the notion that love is power ignore the flood and you'll always have errors for knowledge is golden and knowing is half the battle remember the flood a thousand declarations does not prove a single thing only evidence will bring us truth and meaning look closely at what you've been told for all these years and you will find nothing more than bias and ego spawning there is no truth in modern science it is nothing but a new religion... ...whose spears of destiny will never strike us down as we defend His holy kingdom and His crown these are the final days so we shall make them last our greatest weapon is our wisdom of the past behold the power of the righteous as we march into the battlefield with shields of metal mightier than steel

these dreams they taste like sugar but the poison still sets in and before too long i'm choking on the floor the reflection of your eyes still lingers deep within my own along with memories that never seemed to be my heart, it does not exist in this place your heart, it does not exist in this place a false embrace to please the masses serenaded by destiny the dream has died, my will awakened to find myself alone again the fantasy is over but how will i see the world now that i feel i know you more than yesterday but this bliss is purely fiction, only real while i'm at rest and you'll know nothing of the times we've had my heart, it does not exist in this place your heart, it does not exist in this place a false embrace to please the masses serenaded by destiny the dream has died, my will awakened to find myself alone again for these dreams, they felt like sugar and the poison washed away so here i find myself just as i was before but the reflection of your eyes still lingers deep within my own

we shall not retreat as long as the five of us stand united in truth, we shall not submit to demands we've suffered no loss despite the amount of our wounds our weapons are strong, we shall be victorious soon our forces grow in number our spirits rise in valor regardless of their fury they cannot destroy our message our hearts now beat in sequence the rhythm of the conquest regardless of their data they cannot dethrone His message they'll know my justice in the sword it is the means to end the war but if you summon your will to fight know just what it is you're fighting for the darkness spreads around us infects our every impulse despite an impure action we will not throw down our weapons our allies call us traitors judgements and accusations in spite of their betrayal we will not give up the fight the heart is a window that cannot be opened they seek to destroy us all we're still fighting on your side we'll die for your cause do not cast our weapons aside all men live in shadow but on wings of valor we ride the forces of evil will use our turmoil to spread resentment within ourselves it's not on the shoulders of any one man to pass any judgement so learn to forgive don't fear the enemy just fight the hate within yourself don't fear the enemy just fight the hate within they'll know my justice in the sword it is the means to end the war but if you summon your will to fight know just what it is you're fighting for i fight for truth, i fight for love, i fight for strength, i fight to rise above i fight for truth that lies beneath the shroud of insecurity i fight for love that's lost but not forgotten deep inside of me i fight for strength to fight the darkness closing in with every step i fight to rise above to stress and to let go of my regrets and we shall win this fight before the sun can set tonight
