IN SPADES LYRICS

1. Awaken

[Instrumental]

2. Unrelinquished (Fear & Guilt)

In front of you is where you leap
Towards your infinite form
Unrealistic to achieve
Whipping up a cosmic storm

Formations of equations filing in a single line
Though confusion seeps in mind, solutions hard to find
Structured facts stomped down and ruined, opting to reset
With callused hands I keep on digging until objective's met

And so I cast a stone, creating ripples out of seas
Pigments of darkened shades suddenly appears
Shivering chill went up my spine

A subconscious fear
Forms within the mind
Misdirected to slowly fade away

A subconscious fear
Forms within the mind
Misdirected to slowly fade away

Into the depths of the mind

You're always seeking for the truth
Why? Are you living a lie?
Poison excreting from the fruit
The day of judgement draws nigh

Frequency of energy drains the flow of time
A haunting cry from below, an unresolved crime
Unrelinquished fear and guilt, distorts reality
Senses fail motionless, apathetic lethargy

And so I cast a stone, creating ripples out of seas
Pigments of darkened shades suddenly appears
Shivering chill went up my spine

A subconscious fear
Forms within the mind
Misdirected to slowly fade away

A subconscious fear
Forms within the mind
Misdirected to slowly fade away

Into the depths of the mind

[Guitar solo]

A subconscious fear
Forms within the mind
Misdirected to slowly fade away

A subconscious fear
Forms within the mind
Misdirected to slowly fade away

Into the depths of the mind

3. Slithering Freedom

Within the core of our beliefs, scriptures illuminate
Culture, facts and history, ill-blood divided faith
Forces beckoned the pulse of earth, calamities from the skies
Choose one soul to be the one, who will be sacrificed

A voyage to search across the world,
For the answers lingering in our thoughts...

A power struggle within the realms, who is more divine?
An entity with many names, mystic symbolic signs?
The truth is far from what we see, abstract assumptions
Shape the mind of the common man, programmed communion

A voyage to search across the world,
For the answers lingering in our thoughts...

I am free from religion
Slithering freedom

[Guitar solo]

I am free from religion
Slithering freedom

4. Brave The Storm

Gun cocked and loaded
In the mist of the battlefield
Sword stained and corroded
With the enemies' blood

Another brother
Falls down to his grave
Come meet your maker
The bullet and the glaive

Onward! Charge!
Through a rain of lead!
Bullets sparge!
Never end up dead

Kill or be killed
Death is drawing nearer
Pray, be still
The vision's getting clearer

(Wooohh woohohoh)
The flame within perpetually
(Burns woohohoh)
We carve ourselves, our destiny
Fearless, strong and wise
Never kneel or flee
We must brave the storm!

[Guitar solo]

(Wooohh woohohoh)
The flame within perpetually
(Burns woohohoh)
We carve ourselves, our destiny
Fearless, strong and wise
Never kneel or flee
We must hold on (brave the storm!)

(Wooohh woohohoh)
The flame within perpetually
(Burns woohohoh)
We carve ourselves, our destiny
Fearless, strong and wise
Never kneel or flee
For we must
Brave the storm!

5. The Authority

Up in the glaciers, The Northern Gates
Cold harsh winds I endured
To fulfill my destined fate
Justice and glory I'll bring home

Like no one has ever gone to
Bend the system for a cause
Show 'em what's it's like to be a man
And raise his fist

I am the authority
I command you to bow to me
I am the authority
I command you to bow to me

Show your enemy no mercy this is a war
Tied up tight in the hands of man
His lust for battle cannot be quenched
Soon his lust will be his end

Like no one has ever gone to
Bend the system for a cause
Show 'em what's it's like to be a man
And raise his fist

I am the authority
I command you to bow to me
I am the authority
I command you to bow to me

[Guitar solos]

Like no one has ever gone to
Bend the system for a cause
Show 'em what's it's like to be a man
And raise his fist

I am the authority
I command you to bow to me
I am the authority
I command you to bow to me

6. Man & God

I have felt his glory, I have felt his mighty wrath
In an endless journey, towards the destined path
In a smoke of silence, I can hear them whispering my name
Through a voice from the tunnel, someone's life is put in vain

Man and God alike
Darkness through the night
Blinding light of day
Divinity decays

He who speaks through silence, is far more dreadful than he sounds
A serpent tempts me, I feel so weak I submit and die
An angel of innocence, trapped in a field of memories
Trapped in a box of misery

Man and God alike
Darkness through the night
Blinding light of day
Divinity decays

[Guitar solos]

Man and God alike
Darkness through the night
Blinding light of day
Divinity decays

7. Murdered Afterlife

Why don't you kill me again
To end this life long misery?
Why am I here?
To me this is all a mystery
My death is one thing
But this punishment is another
What have I done?
Was I short of one prayer

I beg for mercy, but am I too late?
Do I have another chance? How long will I wait?

Cancel my existence or, save me from this fire
I swallow my pride, forgiveness is what I desire
In anyway, go ahead twist the bloody knife
Just get me out of this, my murdered afterlife

Why don't you kill yourself?
Your goals cannot be achieved
For I am a god!
To me this is only just a game
Your death is coming
But your punishment is not enough
What can you do?
A thousand deaths is not enough for you

You beg for mercy but you are too late
You have angered me mortal, and now this is your fate!

Cancel my existence or, save me from this fire
I swallow my pride, forgiveness is what I desire
In anyway, go ahead twist the bloody knife
Just get me out of this, my murdered afterlife

[Guitar solos]

Cancel my existence or, save me from this fire
I swallow my pride, forgiveness is what I desire
In anyway, go ahead twist the bloody knife
Just get me out of this, my murdered afterlife

8. Spiral Nemesis

A burst of light; a sign of destruction
Mankind's fall; an end for creation
Consumed by gas and interstellar flames
Spans across the vast great astral plane

The lights in the sky are stars
Cosmic scenery

Graveyard of dead galaxies
No escape from it's gravity
Explosion of thermonuclear
Galactic celestial cannibal

The lights in the sky are stars
Cosmic scenery

9. Trials of the Spider's Thread

Deep within the abyss, where the wicked souls reside
A sea of blood drenched in sin, a wave of sinners along the tide
A tainted soul blessed to be cleansed, a chance for him to make amends
Avaricious fool what have you done?

To regain life, you must survive,
The trials of the spider's thread
Greed will jeopardize your escape
And fall from this spider's thread

A faint light of hope descends from the sky
Silvery silk thread of fate that could lead me to paradise
Violent aggression, my veins my nerves starts to shake
Let go, let go! I scream, fall into the burning lake

To regain life, you must survive,
The trials of the spider's thread
Greed will jeopardize your escape
And fall from this spider's thread

[Guitar solos]

No, just nowhere to run, hide from the sun, never again
You had your chance, you could've advanced, but you were blinded by greed
Eternal despair, chained to this lair, you're damned for all eternity
So in hell you are, in hell you stay

10. Shadow of Oblivion

Divine decree, atrocious adversary
Tyrannical, oppressive, eight headed beast
Devoured seven daughters; comes for the eighth
Hatred ignites, revenge comes by the scythe of death.

Firewater
Indulgence
Eight gates
Katana
Serpent blood

Intoxicated and immobilized
The serpent of terror nearing its demise
The blade of the tempest, the blade of the squall
Lacerate to end it all

The sweet taste of vengeance, the stale taste of blood
The fall of a tyrant of his own device
The blade of the tempest, the blade of the squall
A river of blood; for its final fall.

[Solo]

Neronian no longer, lifeless and slain
Eight headed demon fades from earthly domain
Cold served revenge; our war cry; tears from the sky
Blessed blade emerged from its tail, kusanagi

Firewater
Indulgence
Eight gates
Katana
Serpent blood

Intoxicated and immobilized
The serpent of terror nearing its demise
The blade of the tempest, the blade of the squall
Lacerate to end it all

The sweet taste of vengeance, the stale taste of blood
The fall of a tyrant of his own device
The blade of the tempest, the blade of the squall
A river of blood; for its final fall.
