BENEDICTUM LYRICS

1. Dawn Of Seasons

[Intro]

2. Shell Shock

Now my backs against the wall,
I've had all I can take
My emotions deep inside like a dam will break
I need to breathe, someone to watch over me
Life is on the line and there's no time

I'm living the war not like you
Rolling thunder passing through
I need a way to conquer the pain
Cause I've heard the bombs and I felt the heat of the flame

Shell Shock
We fight we die, We don't ask why
We fight we die, Be it truth or lie!

No one seems to understand all
that we go through
But the enemy is marching forward
survivals what I do
And I need to breathe,
someone to watch over me
Life is on the line that life is mine

I'm living the war not like you
Rolling thunder passing through
Will you help me conquer the pain?
Cause I've heard the bombs
and I felt the heat of the flame

Shell shock
We fight we die, We don't ask why
We fight we die, Be it truth or lie!

They say it's wrong, they say it's right
I am just fighting the fight
Try not to die everyday
But I know what I'm fighting for.

This mighty nation sent me
here my duty to obey
When I come home after war
what will this nation say?
You need to keep the promises
you made to me
Honor on the line all the time!

I'm living the war not like you
Rolling thunder passing through
Will you help me conquer the pain?
Cause I've heard the bombs
and I felt the heat of the flame
Shell Shock

3. Burn It Out

Tonight I kick it over face
into the wind
I ride, I fire it up,
precision feels like sin

I want it faster,
wheels to the ground!

Release the fire
Burn it out
Ignite Desire
Burn it out

Decide servant or master,
destiny awaits
I ride into disaster
destruction in my wake

I want it faster,
wheels to the ground

Release the fire
Burn it out
Ignite Desire
Burn it out

I want it faster,
wheels to the ground
I want it faster,
wheels to the ground

Release the fire
Burn it out
Ignite Desire
Burn it out

Clandestine ire
Burn it out
Release the fire
Burn it out!!!

4. Bare Bones

Beset me not with you attitudes
Placating me with your platitudes
The time is short the time is now
Struggling just to live every day
Lethargic leaches just stay away
Suffer me not this trial by fire

Break it down till it's minimal
Bare Bones
Take it down Cause I'm cynical
Bare Bones
This deception is criminal
Bare Bones

I can see the truth from here
Falling on a deafened ear
Tell me what it's all about
Cause I've got to find a way,
find a way, find a way,
to get down to bare bones

Staring at me with your bovine eyes
Spare me your penchant to criticize
Action deployed energy now!
Beset me not with you attitudes
Placating me with your platitudes
Suffer me not this trial by fire

Break it down till it's minimal
Bare Bones
Take it down Cause I'm cynical
Bare Bones
This condition is critical
Bare Bones

I can see the truth from here
Falling on a deafened ear
Tell me what it's all about
Cause I've got to find a way,
find a way, find a way,
to get down to bare bones

Take it down till it's minimal
Bare Bones
Break it down cause I'm cynical
Bare Bones
This deception is criminal
Bare Bones

I can see the truth from here
Falling on a deafened ear
Tell me what it's all about
I've got to find a way,
find a way, find a way,
to get down to bare bones

5. Within The Solace

We must find the truth that lies within the solace
Kingdoms rise and fall riches can leave you lonely
But everything you say
I see a different way
There is a price to pay,
vengeance is mine

And everything you do,
I scrutinize it through
You had a chance to choose,
vengeance is mine

Speak your highest thought your words
often define you
We could have had it all,
make straight the path before you

But everything you say
I see a different way
There is a price to pay,
vengeance is mine
vengeance is mine

And everything you do,
I've got to see it through
You had a chance to choose,
vengeance is mine
Vengeance is mine

There's a dark cloud coming
And it rains on you
There's a dark cloud coming
Rain!

There's a dark cloud coming
And it rains on you
There's a dark cloud coming
Rain!

But everything you say
I see a different way
There is a price to pay,
vengeance is mine

And everything you do,
I scrutinize it through
You had a chance to choose,
vengeance is mine
Vengeance is mine!

6. Beast In The Field

There's a beast I the field there's a lion in the night
Ever stalking with a passion every hiding from the light
And his name is the only and his name is the one
And he won't stop destroying till his wicked work is done

Children run, children run, children run
The night time is falling the voices are calling
A beast there's a beast in the field

The world keeps on turning but we are not learning a beast there's a
beast in the field

There's a beast
There's a beast

There's a beast in the field there's a loin in the night
Overcome by our weakness we have not strength to fight
Time to run little children better run better flee for the beast
that I speak of is alive roaming free

Children run, children run, children RUN!!!!!

The night time is falling the voices are calling
A beast there's a beast in the field
The whole world is turning but we are not learning a beast there's a
beast in the field

Don't look into his eyes
For fools confound the wise

This deranged dark usurper tears the fabric of the soul
Look upon your own person now is half what was whole
The most primal of instincts is to stand fight or flee
At this time I beseech you to make haste come with me
Approaching encroaching it lives a lie
Controlling imposing it will take your life!

The night time is falling the voices are calling
A beast there's a beast in the field
The world keeps on turning but we are not learning a
beast there's a beast in the field

7. Legacy

As I close my eyes visions come to me
Like a whispered prayer, soft and low.
Beckoning to me to change reality
Enter deeper still into the soul

Still I cry!

What will I become? What will become of me?
Am I just a pawn played by destiny?
Inward turn the eyes and outward shine the soul
Mind and heart as one, become whole

This is my legacy
That which is born of me (still I cry)
This is my legacy Cry!

Somewhere in the world someone's crying out
Trapped inside the darkness a prisoner of doubt
Somewhere in the world someone screams in pain
Will you dare to answer how can you remain
Somewhere in the world someone's crying out
Trapped inside the darkness a prisoner of doubt

This is my legacy
That which is born of me (still I cry)
This is my legacy Cry!

May your light shine bright like the nova sun
And be remembered still for the things you've done
May they speak of you with integrity
As you leave behind your last legacy

Still I cry
This is my legacy
That which is born of me (still I cry)
This is my legacy Cry!

Somewhere in the world someone's crying out
Trapped inside the darkness a prisoner of doubt
Somewhere in the world someone screams in pain
Will you dare to answer how can you remain
Somewhere in the world someone's crying out
Trapped inside the darkness a prisoner of doubt

8. Nobodies Victim

Let me tell you how it will go down
Let me tell you how it's gonna be
I am older than I was before
Far better than I used to be
Look over your shoulder now
And tell me what do you see
I'm getting much stronger
Not like I used to be

Ich bin kein
Kein Opfer

The lion springs from the lamb
Redefining just who I am
On a mission and it's crystal clear
Indecision must stop right here

I refuse to be your victim
I refuse to be
Nobodies' victim
Nobodies' victim

Let me tell you how it will go down
Let me tell you how it's gonna be
I am older than I was before
Far better than I used to be
Look over your shoulder now
And tell me what do you see
I'm getting much stronger
Not like I used to be

Ich bin kein
Kein Opfer

I refuse to be a victim
I refuse to be your victim
I refuse to be
Nobodies' victim
Nobodies' victim

9. Balls To The Wall

[Accept cover]

Too many slaves in this world
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
They're killing themselves, going insane

Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves are always lose
And this fear keeps them down

Watch the damned – God bless ya
They're gonna break the chains
No, you can't stop them – God bless ya
They're coming to get you

And then you'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall – Balls to the wall

You may screw their brains
You may sacrifice them too
You may mortify their flesh
You may rape them all

One day the tortured stand up
And revolt against the evil
They make your drink your blood
And tear yourself to pieces

You better watch the damned – God bless ya
They're gonna break the chains
No, you can't stop them – God bless ya
They're coming to get you

And then you'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall – Balls to the wall

Here we go!

Come on man, let's stand up all over the world
Let's plug a bomb in everyone's ass
If they don't keep us alive
We're gonna fight for the right

Build a wall with the bodies, and you're saved
Make the world scared
Come on, show me the sign of victory
Sign of victory – Sign of victory

You better watch the damned – God bless ya
They're gonna break the chains
No, you can't stop them – God bless ya
They're coming to get you

You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall – Balls to the wall

You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man

10. Steel Rain

I try to stay in syncopation
With the pace of life I know
I tell myself that time in time
As above it is below
I see my life I wonder is it all that I could ever be
And then I feel my fire as I roar like thunder

I've needed, I've seeded
The clouds that bring to me
Steel rain
Steel rain

Forever searching for the answers
to questions asked of old
And when I turn to see the wisdom
all I find is I don't know
I see my life I wonder is this
all that I was meant to be
But then I feel that fire
as I roar like thunder

I've needed, I've seeded the clouds
that bring to me
Steel rain
Steel rain
Dark clouds are forming again
Steel rain
Steel rain
Catch the wind as it sails again
like an arrow through my heart
Love and pain evolve the same
and its tearing me apart

Steel rain
Steel rain
Dark clouds are forming again
Steel rain
Steel rain
Dark clouds are forming again

Frozen are my tears
Steel rain
Frozen are my tears
Steel rain
Steel rain
Dark clouds are forming again
Steel rain

I try to stay in syncopation
With the pace of life I know
I tell myself that time in time
As above it is below

11. Seasons Of Tragedy

Muladhara
Svadhistana
Manipura
Anahata
Vissudha
Ajna
Sahasrara

Gates before me wide open, hastily I proceed
The white owl of winter perched high above me
Spreading wide wings of wisdom
Eyes look through me like glass
Let go of the pain of the past

Deep in your heart you must believe
You can find your humanity
Dare to believe there is relief
From the Seasons of Tragedy

Floating freely in rhythm
Tis the sparrow of Spring
Hope resonates with each beat of the wing
Every moment is precious life's too short to lament
Rise over sorrow, forward on and then
And then

Deep in your heart you must believe
You can find your humanity
Dare to concede there is relief
From the Seasons of Tragedy

Torrid passions all my actions make me who I am
Barren lands of the summer seemingly void of life
Till the raven descended blackened as ice
Life is always abounding though the eye cannot see
Beyond all our senses there's more just believe!

Soaring over the landscape mastering all she surveys
Autumn's sage Eagle appears from the haze
You must fly ever higher, triumph over the mind
Master your thoughts and the world will align
Deep in your heart you must believe
You can find your humanity
Dare to believe there is relief
From the Seasons of Tragedy
Aah ah seasons of tragedy
Ah oh Season of Tragedy!!

Were it not for this passage through this life I have lead with its
pain and its sorrow than I would not have had
This victory... would not have had this victory...VICTORY!
Winter is gone and springtime comes anon and on and on and on
