MONSTROSADUS! 04:01
lyrics

Made from the crust of the earth Twisted minds gave it birth Faceless beast of untold power 3 times a week grows hour by hour Looking in the depths you'll find The primal instinct of mankind Stalking women of these ancient lands The beast feeds on adrenaline glands More than myth, can't be controlled The prophecy has been foretold Your darkest fear will be exploited Nothing now can be avoided Eyes that glow an eerie surprise Ignore my pleas to your demise Hypnotized can't look away Listen to these words I say From deep in your souls It's out of control Without warning the beast appears No need to fear, it's already here Sound the alarm The beast is loose Monstrosadus Is after us Abomination A vile creation Monstrosadus Will conquer us It's piercing gaze with bloodshot eyes Can't hide the truth, no need to disguise Here comes the beast feared and reviled Panic runs rampant like fire in the wild It-Will-Find-Us-It's-The-Mon-Stros-A-Dus The sounds of the beast are strangely hypnotic Melodic, symphonic, diatonic, demonic Trial by fire, it's only desire To speak the truth and decry the liar It-Will-Find-Us-It's-The-Mon-Stros-A-Dus Nothing left but to join the throng Consume the weak, recruit the strong Let go of your pride, he's already inside Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Sound the alarm The beast is loose Monstrosadus Is after us Abomination A vile creation Monstrosadus Will conquer us We won't survive We won't prevail Monstrosadus Is after us No one to help No help to be had Monstrosadus Will conquer us

Legend 05:01
lyrics

On a journey east, through the vast labyrinth of unspoiled jungles, we found him on the edge of death. With his final breaths he whispered his message quiet yet deafening in scope. A verse in a language unknown to us, yet easily deciphered, changing our lives forever. As we listened, a dangerous path he described. At its close he diminished. The message was ours to bear. As guardians charged with keeping the flame. Preparing to risk it all to find it, a journey of body and mind we began. A world within the mountains and Underneath an ancient sea A place of legend that few have known A dying man's wish bestowed us the key The tales, they say no man can survive To dismiss them would surely lead to our demise Onward through countless dangers we journeyed, into the belly of the earth. Apparitions from advanced civilizations of the past guided us through trials that defied known science. Finally we laid our eyes on the wonder of the annals of existence. An immense library filled with books of gold scripted in a language that had only graced our ears. A vast history it described, telling tales unknown to us dating before mankind. We filled our minds with its knowledge, ceasing for nothing. Time did not exist in this place. A world within the mountains and Underneath an ancient sea A place of legend that few have known Its wealth will set your mind free The tales they say no man can get out To show the world exactly how it came about With treasure beyond measure we made our escape Back through the labyrinth to the surface air Eyes burning from the light of the day Desperately longing to end this affair The jungle, with malice, covered our tracks It seemed the knowledge would be our death tax For all at once the years returned Will the secrets die after all we had learned? Decades had passed, sealing our fate With bodies decrepit and barely a breath Conscience fading to a lucid state All we can do is wait here for death Then the morning brought a traveler our way The sacred message was all that I could say

Verdict Rendered 04:35
lyrics

You can almost see their thoughts As their eyes say “shame on you” You're breaking all the rules This ain't the tried and true Human nature tells us what is acceptable A code of conduct that was created years ago Don't you see that You can't see the writing that is on the wall? Just sit back and take it all in Waiting for your curtain call You can almost hear their thoughts As their ears play tricks on them They don't know what they just heard Barely paying attention Competition blinds us Who cares just what they think? Ultimately jealous When pushed towards the brink Don't you see that You can't see the writing that is on the wall? Just sit back and take it all in Waiting for your curtain call The cycle comes back around Now you're the one that will be judged You'll have to stand your ground How does it feel to be brushed off? You will fight fear and doubt And understand your fellow man Don't let them force you out Don't let opinions change your plan Ripping holes in all the weak egos Makes you feel like you're the king of this whole world And when you find your prize on the other side Don't come back here looking for a place to hide The cycle comes back around Now you're the one that will be judged You'll have to stand your ground How does it feel to be brushed off? You will fight fear and doubt And understand your fellow man Don't let them force you out Don't let opinions change your plan

Endless 03:48
lyrics

Another day, another chance To further its undenied advance And keep it rolling down that road To feel the new and recall the old From light to dark and everything between Just show them all exactly what you mean, yeah An endless cycle of loathing and self acceptance It all seems frightful The abyss of expression Open your eyes and take a step back To regain your consciousness Then take a stand for whats important Let them all see inside your soul, yeah An endless cycle Of loathing and self acceptance It all seems frightful Indulge the core obsession Make them see your blood and they will know Only those with need can steal the show When you see the desperation in their eyes You'll know In practice it seems useless but performance brings us back around to that same old fucking problem will we sink or swim this sound? Until the ground swallows me up Or the sky comes crashing down I will always have the hunger But may never hold the crown As we start our new beginning With old problems left behind I feel that may have something of a total different kind As we set our sights on heaven And we build a new machine Let us always travel onwards No matter where it leads

Purgatory 04:12

There we were standing On the horizon's edge Just one move left to make Bend your knees, hold your breath Like the colors between Pitch black and white light We prepared for a scene Dark as blackest night ...and there it was As we set ourselves free I began to see the truth This was the turning point The start and finish Eternal loop of time Paused yet still moving Not death and yet not life Souls to home returning

Catalyst 04:56
lyrics

What we need right now is a diversion Pressure turns into fuel for the fire inside A chain reaction Mass hysteria comes to fruition While the navigator's efforts all fall by the wayside A chain reaction Power comes from the one Who creates and negates All of us All we've got is our thoughts till they kill every last one of us Spark from the ocean Social eruption Power comes from the one Who creates and negates All of us Burn it down to the ground Show 'em how 'till their one of us How did we become this controlled We should blame this on the old Ones who failed to rise up And be angry like us Strength in numbers is our game We refuse to be the same as the murderers who lied to the feeble that died Please just don't forget who's coming after you You may have won this round But it's true that evil never dies

We The Sheople 03:40

Tell your story till it's all they ever speak of Don't you want to be the first that they hear it from? Keep them feeding on your daily dose of wide-spread lies Keep them all united by the one thing they despise Rumors spread like wild fire While the sheep stay easily deceived Fiction is still creation Keep on shouting till they all believe When chaos can't keep Keep them all asleep When you're in too deep Cover tracks and feet Slaughter all the sheep Lies are your spark with fools for your gas No need for a Magnifying glass Spin the truth so it fits perfect in your grand design send it on it's way down the proverbial grape vine As the sheople stand there watching their final sunset Living on alone, you meet your new best friend, regret

God Complex 06:58
lyrics

Welcome to my sanctuary A place I go to every night Design the things of great importance Limits don't put up a fight Struggling to just get by Every single day Chained myself way deep inside Now I can always stay Re-made my life inside these walls All problems set aside Insane with freedom I've become One final dream untied Welcome to my sanctuary The place I live and never die Here I retain absolute power Only keeping things that I like I never thought a life could be Free of conflict, no bad luck Always pleased and never hungry So productive, never stuck Never lonely anymore For life I have created Every thought I have takes form To God I am related Then one day everything changed All that was once sharp, now dull Conflict so long estranged Every detail too peacful I yearned for a mess to clean up Begged for a massacre And just like the good that was wrought My designs turned to rapture Ignorance destroyed by chaos Unprepared to die this way Crushed beneath my sheer power The realm I authored, laid to waste Can't wake up Can't wake up

One Less Armed Aggressor 04:16

(Let loose) and level it all (Squeeze the trigger) watch them fall (Fight with vengeance) it matters not (Sight the target) approach the shot Drink the poison with one gulp Down the hatch forever Only you can end it now Mowing down whoever (Lead the greatest) Army onward (Take no prisoners) No room for cowards (Smell the fear) and make it reign (Taste the power) Don't go insane Drink the poison in one gulp Down the hatch forever Only you can end this now You know they won't surrender The blade is sharp, the fire burns The massive arm is breaking ground They run for cover but won't return There they lie, in the mud face down The smell of death will make you sick The sights and sounds distract the urge Better hurry, end this quick Finish the job, feel the surge Drink the poison in one gulp Down the hatch forever Thanks to you, its ended now One less armed aggressor (Let loose) and level it all (Squeeze the trigger) watch them fall (Fight with vengeance) it matters not (Sight the target) approach the shot (All the best) men have to come to die (Destiny) has no reply (Start the process) over again (Hail the victor) They cannot win Washed of their sin They'll never win

Skeleton Key 05:05
lyrics

Aim your gaze With my direction Close your eyes So you can see Narrow your focus To witness perfection Perspective can be A skeleton key The new era of slavery awaits What will you do With this information? Now that you have seen The way it connects Go back to life And don't make a sound Slowly drowning In your last regrets Only to perish with the rest Living only to fail the test Over thinking makes us over compensate Life's simplicity and fundamentals die All that we can do is react our own way It can change in the blink of an eye Great deeds come from Great opportunities Great failures stem from Great arrogance Freedom senses its demise Go on your way or follow the wise So rise up from your shackles of fear Cast aside those too afraid to speak Just leave behind the fearful and the weak Make the living problems disappear Look the traitors in the eye Make them see and show them why The winners are the ones who persevere Their defeated spirit our souvenir It's up to us to change the course This is our future, we sculpt it now No room for anymore remorse Only freedom we can allow The bell has rung and the door is open The light escaping is enough to see We emerge and the spell is broken No longer needing the skeleton key Here we stand the immovable force God has clearly chosen wise Corrupted values we now divorce Their evil ways have inspired our rise Now we must choose our movement forward To declare the past a huge mistake To show that freedom cannot be conquered We must choose wisely, the path we take

Leaders Of Men 04:55
lyrics

As long as humans have roamed the Earth There have been men that rose to lead them... Open wide the gates of hell Take these men to sate my pride Collect the guns of those that fell Lieutenant to the flank to pierce their side Battle lust Turns men to dust Causalities grow by the hour Endless supply of men is true power Boots on the ground A burial mound Impossible feats Done by elites The leaders of men And the lives they expend Bombs, guns, hand to hand Take that hill that's my command Blood and guts are mine to spill Send the boys in dressed to kill Fight the enemy in their homeland Crush their will, our upper hand Burn the cities of our foes In all out war, anything goes Dawn breaks and the light shows the dead Spirits still linger in repose Leaders of men send scores to die Honor their souls and then move on Keep moving forward Another day, another fire fight Damn the shell shocked and fatigued Forced to act when called upon Open wide the gates of hell Take these men to sate my pride Collect the guns of those that fell Lieutenant to the flank to pierce their side Bombs, guns, hand to hand Take that hill that's my command Blood and guts are mine to spill Send the boys, dressed to kill Fight the enemy in their homeland Crush their will, our upper hand Burn the cities of our foes In all out war, anything goes Men Fight Wars Leaders Win Wars That's the way it has always been That's the way it will always be Civilians in the crossfire It's the same old story The enlisted pay the price While leaders get the glory Don't shoot till you see the Whites of their eyes Let go of your conscience Make their death your prize Your orders are gospel And your honor is you Your determination will Make you join the few Just do as you are told The massacre will Unfold Victory is mine
