Devastation 03:40
Devastation Devastation I stand in line to see the breakdown Turning around Zombies are watching me I try to hide behind the masses But my footprints Leads right back to me I have to Stand up Scream out See the pain through my eyes How it feels under the bleeding sky I just want to say We’re not here to stay Humanity is running away I don’t know why We drift with our impressions We’re building walls and feed the depression Colored by hate Watered by faith But it’s not too late It’s not too late See the pain through my eyes How it feels under the bleeding sky I just want to say We’re not here to stay Humanity is running away Humanity is running away Standing in line But still in isolation Dark circles surrounding me World on fire Bound by domination My mask, disconnecting me See the pain through my eyes How it feels under the bleeding sky I just want to say We’re not here to stay We’re bound to Devastation Devastation

Fallout 03:28
Where’s our perspective? It seems to never change You pave the way of a dissolution Stop the fallout from spreading with the rain But the collateral is feeding all the same They’re feeding all the same We walk in straight lines And need a different view Digging the same mine Leads to nothing new We’re falling deeper and deeper Into the emptiness of space Would we laugh? Would we fail? Would we conquer? If we finally changed our ways? We’ve come so far So deep down in this mess We’re judge, jury and executioner of ourselves Pick up the pieces And let yourself know There’s a chance We’re falling deeper and deeper Into the emptiness of space Would we laugh? Would we fail? Would we conquer? Break the chains of yesterday And forge a new way GO Forge Forge Forge We’re falling deeper and deeper Into the emptiness of space Would we laugh? Would we fail? Would we conquer? If we changed our ways? Why can’t we understand? Pick up the hammer And forge a new day Forge Forge Forge Forge a new day

Burn 'Em 03:19
Burn 'em, DOWN! As I face the sky I wonder why What have I ever done to you? I won’t let you cut me back to sleep You have no power over me And now these ropes change how I feel Four pillars saves me when I fall Lift me up once for all I face my demons with fire Reject, reload And burn them down Lost in apathy I’ll brave my fears Don’t want to waste another tear I won’t let you cut me back to sleep You have no power over me Your loosened grip is what I see now I face my demons with fire Reject, reload And burn them down Burn 'em all down Down Burn 'em all down Down Burn down Burn 'em all down Oooh - ooh - oh- oooh -oooh Burn down Burn 'em all down Oooh - ooh - oh- oooh -oooh Four pillars saves me when I fall Lift me up once for all I face my demons with fire Reject, reload And burn them down Burn 'em all down Down Burn 'em all down Down I said Burn down Burn 'em all down Yeah Burn 'em all down Burn 'em all down Burn 'em to the ground

End of Days 04:02
A dead man walking the bridges Death on his trail With a singleminded mission To evade extinction The colors The battles It all fades in the rain Whatever it soaks Grinds away We’re at war Defend the shore Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days I am Stranded And branded To waste away on this plane Whatever the stakes I can’t escape my fate We’re at war Defend the shore Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days This is the bullet, the gallows The end of the line Tie the rope one last time Pull me out from the end of days Can a stick become a rope? Revolt and build a ladder Can a stick become a hope? Revolt and climb the ladder Can the stick become my hope? Evaluate what really matters What really matters Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days This is the bullet, the gallows The end of the line Tie the rope one last time So pull me out Yeah pull me out Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days Don’t end my days

When bombs are raining Zombies will follow Just like poisonous rats We are the drifters of the new world And we’ve risen from nothing but scraps Brick by brick Stone by stone We build our new home Through life and death we stumble And in life and death we’re falling Life rips through us all HEY Oh it rips through us all HEY Good versus evil Dwell in us all Reach for the trigger it’s kill or be killed We hold our flag up high We are fighters From the battles we roam Brick by brick Stone by stone Through life and death we stumble And in life and death we’re falling Life rips us all Rise Rise Rogue nation of life Rise Rise Rogue nation of life Rogue nation of life Through life and death we stumble And in life and death we fall Friend or a foe Life rips through us all HEY HEY HEY Death hunts us all Life rips us all Through life we stumble and fall

Eraser 04:05
My mind is turning polar Now time is standing still In the middle of this solstice Eraser of the frozen Radiate me from within And melt my broken bones And just like snow That falls into the unknown Hell’s getting colder and colder And I fear It’s getting more and more unreal Like a never-dying cancer Why won’t you disappear? Who will fix my colors? In this nihilistic war To rise from these ashes Phoenix of salvation Could you heal me from within And mend my broken soul And just like snow That falls into the unknown Hell’s getting colder and colder And I fear It’s getting more and more unreal Like a never-dying cancer Why won’t you Why won’t you see When I fall Like another one of your pawns I dream I hope But you’re still blocking it all Like a never-dying cancer Why won’t you disappear? I fear That you will never disappear And just like snow That falls into the unknown Hell’s getting colder and colder And I fear It’s getting more and more unreal Like a never-dying cancer Why won’t you disappear? Why won’t you disappear? Hereafter I scream I hope But you are still blocking it all Like a never-dying cancer Why won’t you disappear?

Brother 03:23
I know you’re my brother (We) were a squad to shield one another Might have tried and failed in the past Like a bubble Life fades so fast Life fades so fast I lost myself Due to the lack of will to be This is the end of me The last ship we sailed Went down in flames As a shadow of my former self I won’t go back I vow I will recover Killer mindset like no other This is what it means to say farewell You’re a puzzle Fair-weather friend I lost myself Due to the lack of will to be This is the end of me The last ship we sailed Went down in flames As a shadow of my former self I won’t go back The last ship we sailed Went down in flames As a shadow of my former self I won’t go No I won’t go back I got to run away run away run away run away I finally found the key To set me free

Wildfire 03:23
Don’t know why you’re holding on Don’t wanna hear your delusive song Pointless meanings and trivial gains but at least you feed the trees What you give is what you get And for you I got nothing Blinding light Down to the wire A spark to a wildfire And the flames are burning me up Burning me up Burning me I can’t stand the words from your lips Shut up, you fucked it up Please just stop your preaching to me I cannot take it, I got the disease It’s draining energy that I cannot refill Blinding light Down to the wire A spark to a wildfire And the flames are burning me up Burning me up Burning me I can feel the flames that burn inside of me I can feel the flames that burn inside of me I can feel the flames that burn inside of me I can feel the flames that burn inside of me Blinding light Down to the wire A spark to a wildfire And the flames are burning me up Burning me up Burning me I can sense the power That sparked my wildfire And the flames are burning me up Burning me up Burning me

I can’t find the reason Why don’t we belong?
 Resurrecting what I thought was gone I want a different season For every part of me Walking aimlessly for far too long Guided by the same map Still different you and me Find a place where we can grow Equally Everything in black or white Duality gone blind Lost directions, lost and bound I AM Still in the upside down No matter what you do No matter what you do Falling frequencies On the road to discovery All seven days and seven nights Our echoes will never die All of these Immortal words From our dedication Will forever mark this earth Feed the lungs of a generation to come No matter what you do Every failure Earns a different star Falling frequencies On the road to discovery All seven days and seven nights Fail and try again Hear our symphony From the deepest part of me All seven days and seven nights Our echoes will never die Our echoes will never die Conquer Decimation Devour Dedication Falling frequencies On the road to discovery All seven days and seven nights Fail and try again Hear our symphony From the deepest part of me All seven days and seven nights Our echoes will never die

This haven you delivered With your smiling eyes But now when everything's gone You'll hopefully find This sacred place Where death meets paradise Where death meets paradise Where death meets paradise I will find you To bring you home Like napalm rain I’m covered By destructive thoughts You'll see that they will dissolve And I will find hope This night will fade Into a better day Where death meets paradise I will find you To bring you home A fragile connection Bridged by the seam This thunderstorm Where death meets paradise I drown in the deepest of oceans Try my hardest to swim to the shore I drown in the deepest of oceans Where death is a wide open door Never get stuck in game over It goes on and on My feet gets all numb in the water Try my hardest to swim to the shore Feels like I’m stuck in this re-run It goes on and on Where death meets paradise Where death meets paradise I will find you To bring you home Yeah I will find you Where death meets paradise
