1. From Ashes Reborn

[Instrumental]

2. Lords Of Deceit

In a world where night
has silently killed off the day
All the mighty do is look proud
on feet made of clay
As a new beginning waits
to devour what's old
All the masses do is weep
for their souls have been sold

Oh, don't try to run, don't try to hide
Shepherds in black will feed you your pride
Pawns in their endgame, attack to retreat
Come and worship the lords of deceit

When the light of truth
is slowly engulfed by their lies
Then the weak will give
their souls up for fear of demise
As they plant their seeds
of sorrow of guilt and dismay
In the people's minds the
night will become the new day

Gather 'round and watch
destruction in places afar
Shut your minds and mouths
for your turn may not be too far
Kiss the hand that feeds
the fear you were destined to slay
Lick the chains that bind
your souls to the spawn of decay.

3. The Order

Raised as nobles, learned the skills of the fight
Trained in magic, and divine second sight
Preacher warriors, riding hard to the east
Thirsty broadswords for the neck of the beast.

Years of searching, through arcane texts of old
Gave them insight and these powers they hold
One desire, to ascend their own state
Rising higher, to be held down by fate.

War hardened stallions they ride
Fire and steel by their side
Swords make the rules as they sing
Not the will of a king
Red Skies they scream out their name.

Lands have fallen, kingdoms plunged in the black
No contender matched their vicious attack
Their desire to be equal to gods
Brought the fire, only nemesis holds.

4. Angels At War

The day has come when the world's come undone
And the empires crash to the ground
No retreat neither win or defeat
Just an endgame planned aeons ago
look up and see that no longer we're free
But the lullaby's screamed in our hearts
Once you give in it takes over your mind
And its jaws will devour your soul
Swallow you whole

Flee from the shadow of liberty's death
Brothers unite in one breath
Sail under black sails and look for rebirth
Forge a new fate in your wake

Prophets appear as the end's drawing near
Just to keep you sedated and calm
Lost in haze all the masses in daze
In a reverie immersed all the time
All is lost who will cover the cost
Of the lives and the dreams trapped in stone
Reach in your hearts find the key to your past
Purge with fire with steel and with stone
Cut through the bone

Imprisoned souls all surrender their goals
All their hopes and desires are lost
Hands come bound as they scream with no sound
In a velvet walled prison confined
Find the source break away from this course
Once again stand united and tall
Rise up and fight and remember your might
you're descendants of gods not of ghosts forlorn
Angels at war

5. Legion Lost

Once we set out on our conquest
To battle the land and the sea
The titans would bow down before us
The might of our sword was set free
Rode on through forest and desert
Stared at the eyes of the sun
Always felt something was missing
Despite the battles we've won

Tried to ascend our own nature
Tried to be one with the gods
Wanted to wield our own scepter
But they took off their facades
Banished us all in a a nightmare
Until our time would return
Lost in the folds of dimensions
Forever destined to burn

In silence and sorrow all cast
blind to future and past
Eternally paying the cost
always to be the Legion Lost

At the end of your time,
We'll witness a new world beginning
We'll become flesh and bone & regain our throne
At last to reclaim our destiny

Our swords and our shields lay in ruins
Our pride and our emblems now lost
The one thing we craved for was knowledge
But our own souls were the cost
How can we ever be mortals?
Since we have seen the unseen?
What lays above and beyond us
Oh lord can we ever be free..?

And be whole again
Once more to rise from this bane
Rise up as mortals, as warrior kings
as visions of might from afar
Then they'll recall who we are

Lost In this deafening silence
Mist of our sorrows we call
All of our dreams lay forgotten
Since we have chosen to fall
No-one remembers the future
That has been promised to all
Fighting our way through oblivion
'Til we once more hear the call

6. Vicious Dominion

Riders who came from the darkness,
Feeding on dreams from above.
Came forth to tear down the skies.
Craving for pillage and murder,
Black are the flags where they stand
Night cloaks the daggers at hand.

Forever burning your future,
Running your dreams to the ground.
No-one but you makes a sound.
Harvesting powers of nations,
Onset of mankind's demise
Wake up and see through your eyes.

Don't hide in shadows and look from afar,
As they break worlds in their palm.
Their vicious dominion will tear us apart
The hourglass runs out of sands.

Death in the mask of creation,
Pain hid in pleasure and love.
Twisting clear day into night
Obscuring the light of your vision
Stuffing your throat with their lies
Sleep while another one dies.

7. Aeons

As empires fall with a bang to the ground
As lives and lost dreams lay in ruins
Out from the Erebus shone a white light
A glimmer of hope shining bright
Waking the powers innate to them all
Gave them courage to walk through the fire
United as one they would rise to the stars
Gaining strength through the blood and the scars

Rise from the pain
Strong and mighty again
Brace and walk through the flames
Act as your fate proclaims.

Where is the fire within us?
Why have the aeons gone by?
When will we stay to fight for the day,
When truth's no more tarnished and frayed?
Never retreat from the battle,
Iron and flesh move as one,
Trust your own sight, strike down with might
Rush forth a kingdom of light

Unity in fear's not an act to revere
When all hope for a future is over
Hiding in shame, always shifting the blame
Never making a stand for what's real
Out of the shadows and into the light
Wage the fight for a brighter tomorrow
Free from the shackles
you thought were your own
Rip the jaws of the beast that enslaves.

8. Grim Steeds

As our time passed in endless oblivion,
We took heed of the call
In a soul eating timeless communion
That came after our fall.
Time and space bent around as our prison,
A hall, made of shadows and grief.
Now a crack formed inside of this shell
We at last may be pardoned and freed.

Our swords strike tonight
The black hand of vengeance is thine sacred right
Heavens above and Hell down below,
Beware as we mount, the grim steeds of war.

We held on to a memory's fragment,
To remind of our past.
When we held an eternity's promise
But each day was our last.
We had might we had conquered the knowledge
Of gods and of people alike
But we burnt our own wings in the process
Like moths that were drawn to the light.

We endured our creator's betrayal
We remained proud and tall.
Never gave in to light or to darkness
To control our own call.
Time is here place is now to arise,
From this grave that they made us call home
As we rip through this womb made of torment
We vow: All creation is foe.

9. Eye Of The Storm

Nothing seems right,
This dark, cold night
Your heart is empty,
Your soul's full of pain
Just close your eyes,
Leave worries behind
Brace yourself and fly away!

Now face your fears
Flow in the night
You always were on your own...

Dive in your memories, Take what is best
Don't try to hide from yourself
From years to come, You cannot run
So dive in the eye of the storm.

You think you're worthless,
Dust in the wind.
The future is locked for your dreams
Never give up,
Don't think to stop.
Follow your heart
Make it happen.
