HOLY GRAIL LYRICS

1. Archeus

[Instrumental]

2. Bestia Triumphans

Welcome to submission, welcome to your home
Just sit and watch the mindless march of drones
Are you dead or living? Are you in control?
It's Hell on Earth, the weak have lost their soul

Face assimilation! Go out on your own!
Their despotism will be overthrown
They'll call upon the ancients, foretell the end is near
Apocalyptic doom will stoke our fear

Now die on the cross you nation of fools, with your feet of clay
Starvation, stagnation, damnation for the cruel
Now you know your day is coming, and you're running out of time

Void of aspiration, surrender your control
The weak will always do as they are told
Can't escape the wicked, can't escape the truth
But mutiny will sever the abuse

Now die on the cross you nation of fools, with your feet of clay
Starvation, stagnation, damnation for the cruel
Now you know your day is coming, and you're running out of time

Never in a million years did you believe we'd catch you
Never in your darkest fears could you conceive you'd ever have to pay

A holocaust across the nation
Oh, now it's on
It's too late to seek salvation
Stealing what you can before it's gone

Fight the man who breeds oppression
Light the torch of reason
Bit the hand that feeds

Your day has come... welcome home

Now die on the cross you nation of fools, with your feet of clay
Starvation, stagnation, damnation for the cruel
Now you know your day is coming
Your day has come
Welcome home

3. Dark Passenger

What moves inside you?
Is it living, or is it dead?
These are the questions left unsaid
Who knows the answers?
Is it something I should’ve sensed?
What is this feeling I possess?

Slipping into darkness, feel that cold, cloudy air
Hear the voices calling,
Screaming something else is there
But I don’t know where

Harness the hatred
Through the ray of distant light
No more deception, no more lies!

Slipping into darkness, feel that cold, cloudy air
Hear the voices calling,
Screaming something else is there
Reaching for the huntress as she slithers through the night
Searching for the secret, to the labyrinth of my life
I gotta find a way, my mind begins to break
While things are changing shape
I gotta find a way
I’ve shattered all my faith
But who’s to blame?

How long must I wait?
Frozen in pain?
I cannot sustain
Vengeance remains

I gotta find a way, my mind begins to break
While things are changing shape
I gotta find a way
I’ve shattered all my faith
I gotta find a way
My mind begins to break
While things are changing shape
I gotta find a way
I’ve shattered all my faith
But who’s to blame?

4. Bleeding Stone

What's the point of living if you can't accept the pain
Wrap yourself in misery to try and bury all the shame
challenged all philosophies to live against the grain
Severed all humanity; and evil world you cannot change

Crawling, screaming, blood across the ceiling
Trouble sleeping, conscience slowly creeping

Only the good die this way
Only the pure die in pain
Only your blood will delay your judgement day

So you think you've found a purpose, but you can't accept the truth
Bask yourself in sinful pleasures try to idolize your youth

Crawling, screaming, blood across the ceiling
Trouble sleeping, conscience slowly creeping

Only the good die this way
Only the pure die in pain
Only your blood will delay your judgement day

Poisoning your senses just to feel like you're alive
Staring down that empty barrel to keep from suicide

You gotta stand up tall & embrace the misery
(We stand tall, embrace the misery)
You gotta break the walls & face philosophy
(Break these walls, challenge philosophy, sever humanity)

Only the good die this way
Only the pure die in pain
Only your blood will delay your judgement day

5. Ride The Void

When you look into the void do you see something there?
Nothing in your blackened heart has made you even care
All the hopes that you had always dreamed up in the night
Cultivated instantly before your very eyes

Wish I could slow down the river
Blow out the sky
But I still hold on to nothingness
Reach out yet no one's there
Hungry for nothing less
And I'll keep riding on through the void, riding through the void

Fortune falls upon your life
A gift which one should spare
Did you think your hopes and dreams would magically appear?

Wish I could slow down the river
Blow out the sky
But I still hold on to nothingness
Reach out yet no one's there
Hungry for nothing less
And I'll keep riding on through the void, riding through the void

Storming through darkness we ride
Blowing out the sky
In darkness we ride tonight

Hold out forever
And fight for your life

Slow down the river
Blow out the sky

Hold on to nothingness
Reach out yet no one's there
Hungry for nothing less
And I'll keep riding on through the void.

Ride the void

6. Too Decayed To Wait

Perfect man I'm watching, your head is in my sights
My finger's on the trigger with a million reasons why
Hiding in your palace, life locked in your safe
Dollars won't defend you when I blow all your brains away

You're too decayed to wait for
Today you'll be betrayed by what you pay for
You're shiny, classy, and you're clean
You're every sniper's dream

When you die, no man will cry
Your bank account's a carcass to a vulture's eye
To you we're mongrels howling in the halls
But carrion feel no conscience when they wipe you from the walls

And when you watch the sunset realize you've lived your final day

You're too decayed to wait for
Today you'll be betrayed by what you pay for
You're shiny, classy, and you're clean
You're every sniper's dream

Blind and blighted, black benighted, slither round the floor
Famine, plague and war
Drones desert you, stripping silver flesh and ever wanting more

Be comforted with thoughts that your legacy is gone
When the barrel cools you'll have death to leave your son
Sacrifice your fortune to stop your wounds with gold
It's a fool that pays a pension if he's never getting old

You'll pay, you're too decayed to wait for
Today you'll be betrayed by what you pay for
You're shiny, classy, and you're clean
You're every sniper's dream

7. Crosswinds

Chaos and constancy forever intertwined
Peace and adversity at war within the mind
Locked in a struggle, an illusion trapped in time
When worlds collide just enjoy the ride

Determination is just the beginning so there's no reason to stall
Your destination is on the horizon, it's time to answer the call
No consolation, it's all about winning, we gotta fight and stand tall

All systems are overloaded!
All weapons are locked & loaded!

Fight that feelin'
Before it pulls you under
Has you reelin'
Already full of wonder
Twistin', turnin', whirlin'
Caught in the crosswinds... and left behind

No indication of end or beginning, there's no perception of right or wrong
A conflagration will end all your sinning, into the fire you'll fall

All systems are overloaded!
All weapons are locked & loaded!

Fight that feelin'
Before it pulls you under
Has you reelin'
Already full of wonder
Twistin', turnin', whirlin'
Caught in the crosswinds... and left behind

All systems overloaded!
All weapons locked & loaded!
All systems overloaded!
Caught up in the crosswinds!

8. Take It To The Grave

Slipping from conscious thought below the night
Silhouettes of karma spit fire in your eyes
Strike out in the dark, it all comes to light
Seeds you've sown that haunt you from the oath you tried to hide

Come on your cover's blown
It's never gonna let you go
Caught by the undertow
You said I'd never fight alone

Let's refresh the vision, the vow we held as truth
When bloody fists have fallen is when the fight is through
Face the once decision, to die or carry on
It's hard to think that nightfall is darkest before dawn

Come on your cover's blown
It's never gonna let you go
Caught by the undertow
You said I'd never fight alone

Drops of rain won't chisel stone with single acts of violence
Keep raining, erode
Shards of pain won't sear the soul when words are bound to silence
Keep raining, erode

Feel the candle burning, scorching from both sides
Impervious to dying, this torch will be held high
Give it up, leave your soul to rot, or see it through to the end
Break the oath, it's breaking you
You can't reach the top without expecting to fall

Drops of rain won't chisel stone with single acts of violence
Keep raining, erode
Shards of pain won't sear the soul when words are bound to silence
Keep raining, erode

We've seen it all, we've heard it all a hundred times
I've seen it all, but never saw the change in mind

Drops of rain won't chisel stone with single acts of violence
Keep raining, erode
Shards of pain won't sear the soul when words are bound to silence
Keep raining, erode

9. Sleep Of Virtue

If you had worth to hold it fell somewhere along your life
Slipped out untold
Another overthrow, good riddance - tear 'em out of strife
No friends or foes

And in the darkest places you'll still be shutting out the light
But now we're calling for you, your time has come

You will burn for your crimes
You'll learn to see through our eyes
You will hurt, you will cry
You'll learn to see through our eyes
Never cheat away, never steal away the light
When you cross the divide you'll learn to see through our eyes

You'll never need to know what's before you out of sight
Yet you uphold

And in the darkest places you'll still be shutting out the light
But now we're calling for you, your time has come

You will burn for your crimes
You'll learn to see through our eyes
You will hurt, you will cry
You'll learn to see through our eyes
Never cheat away, never steal away the light

And soon the brightness fades, you slip away and close your eyes
Although you're filled with hate, accept the blame, no place to hide
You passed the final stage, you're losing hope, your mouth is dry
It's time to face your fate, the dreams you made will never reach the other side

You will burn
You'll learn to see through our eyes
When you cross
You'll learn to see through our eyes
Never cheat away... never steal away the light
Never steal away the light

10. Silence The Scream

60 cities in 66 days and miles of blackness in between
Pluck your eyes out, slit your own throat, you still can't silence that scream
Over sleepless nights you ponder endless ways to perfect and relive your dark dream
Then the tension builds to the breaking point, the lion leaves the lair to feed

Caught in a landslide you keep holding on
Too late to notice you're already gone

And you feel the shadows of the night surround you
Demons you've been running form have found you
Desperation floods your world and drowns you
Feel the road against your wheels, it grounds you

16 bodies in 66 days, the pattern remains a mystery
Tortured, gagged, and wrapped in plastic bags, to you it never seems obscene
On the quiet nights when you can steal away, out come the spoils to stir your memory
Then the day returns when you can't hold it down, the filth within must be made clean

Caught in a landslide you keep holding on
Nothing can save you you're already gone

And you feel the shadows of the night surround you
Demons you've been running form have found you
Desperation floods your world and drowns you
Feel the road against your wheels, it grounds you

Forever the shadows surround you
The demons of darkness have found you
How do you silence their scream?

Kill by night, sleep by day, and miles of blackness in between
A drifter's life is the only way the monster will remain unseen

Caught in a landslide you keep holding on
Worse than the last time, it's all going wrong
Nothing can save you you're already gone

And you feel the shadows of the night surround you
Demons you've been running form have found you
Desperation floods your world and drowns you
Feel the road against your wheels, it grounds you

11. The Great Artifice

We've been the victim of all your lies
We peeled away at your disguise
Been persecuted behind these walls
Your reign is over, we rise, you fall

And still we ask the reason why
We know the victors always lie

Our fingertips caress your face
These hands of doom will seal your fate

And now you ask the reason why
You know the victors always lie

The truth will not survive
A billion bodies burned before our eyes
Ask yourselves again the reason you're alive
We live today, tomorrow never dies

Wonderful life, virtual paradise
Billions of bodies lay burning before our eyes
Blinded by ignorance, avarice spawns their lies

And now we ask the reason why
We know the victors always lie

The truth will not survive
A billion bodies burned before our eyes
Ask yourselves again the reason you're alive
We live today, tomorrow never dies

12. Wake Me When It's Over

[Instrumental]

13. Rains Of Sorrow

Breathing in an endless sin, a secret once ignored
Spirits whisper in my sleep, a calm before the storm

Close your eyes, turn back time

Wash away the rains of sorrow, keep your fear at bay
Find a way to change tomorrow, make it true today

Waiting for an open door a dream can travel through
Knowing now more than before, nightmares can come true

Close your eyes, turn back time

Wash away the rains of sorrow, keep your fear at bay
Find a way to change tomorrow, make it true today

No regrets for words unspoken, no remorse or promise broken
After all the chances taken, nothing left - our dream's forsaken now

Close your eyes, turn back time

Wash away the rains of sorrow, keep your fear at bay
Find a way to change tomorrow, make it true today
