JACOB'S DREAM LYRICS

1. Where Vultures Gather

Sifting through the ashes
Of a time come and gone
Our days fall through the hour
Glass as the march time gos on
Age to age we rise and fall
As the prophecies foretold
Look into the futures eyes
Till there's nothing, nothing there at all

Circling the skies black wings arise
On what have fixed your attention
As you look down from on high
Black wings falling from the sky
The reckoning has come
Let all who can hear
All who can see
Look and listen for the sign

Living underneath the cruel fist of pain
Since the day man lost his way
Lust and greeds been our elixir
A faithless age of decadence
Seeing not our own seduction
Centuries for lies have dulled our eyes
To malevolent destruction

Where vultures gather
The bodies they lie
Where vultures gather
The spirit has gone away
Where vultures gather
The carcass you'll find
Let the wolves and the carrion feed
And the sun bleach the bones

With cold calculation
Surveying the kill
The predator watches
Containing the thrill
Sighting his prey stumbling and weak
Aimlessly wandering he falls to his knees

Where vultures gather
The bodies they lie
Where vultures gather
The spirit has gone away
Where vultures gather
The carcass you'll find
Let the wolves and the carrion feed
And the sun bleach the bones

2. Cry The Viking

Trace the journey of the sun from the east onto the west
The days are short, the nights are long
Taste the frost upon your breath
Farewell to innocence, never count the cost
Amputated emotions, faintly beating phantom heart

Only now you realize that fabled Odin hears no cries!

Your creator was a stranger, and your Odin wasn't there
You had no one to plead your case to
Before the seat of the righteous judge

Stand tall Viking, cry Victory!
A final prayer with dying breath
Rise through the flames in morning mist
Rise to Valhalla, your place for eternity

Search before or search behind, the horizon is all you'll find
You can't go back or carry on, no idea how far you've come

Stand tall Viking, cry Victory!
A final prayer with dying breath
Rise through the flames in morning mist
Rise to Valhalla, your place for eternity
Stand tall Viking, cry Victory!
A final prayer with dying breath
Rise through the flames in morning mist
Rise to Valhalla, your place for eternity

3. Independence

I hear what your saying
I know where your coming from
You twisted up the meanings
I cant believe you anymore

First you want my money
Now you want my soul
Put me on display
In your carnival of fools

We shared a common thread
And you've pulled on my strings
You watched me dance around
To the hateful song you sing

You told me my desires desires
Then you told me what I need
Then you cut me and you sold me
Bandages to feed your greed

When my thoughts became a crime
I became a criminal
Truth will go unrecognized
From main street to marbled halls

Once our thoughts became a crime
We all became criminals
Subvert the reigning paradigm
I can think for myself

Sing to me in silence
For the final time
Hold my hand and tell me
It's OK to be alone

Shredded vows now hurt me
Clothe my thoughts in corduroy
Can I make it any better
Will I suffer anymore

When my thoughts became a crime
I became a criminal
Truth will go unrecognized
From main street to marbled halls

Once our thoughts became a crime
We all became a criminal
Truth will go unrecognized
From main street to hallowed halls

When my thoughts became a crime
I became a criminal
Truth will go unrecognized

Once our thoughts became a crime
We all became criminals
Subvert the reigning paradigm
I can think for myself
From main street to marbled halls

4. Sea Of Destiny

All the roads I've tread
Sweat and blood I gave
To shed some light on this mystery that surrounds us all
Forging rhymes into a song
A tune to carry it along
A grain of truth to inspire the dusty soul

A sailing ship on the sea of destiny
Compass and stars
Horizon beckons me
As tales of old have told
I am off to see
What lies beyond beyond
I am leaving

I leave my homeland behind forsaking all for what ill find
If id stayed I would have withered
Fear I would have lot my mind
A fire burns inside a man
Though he be broken or half mad
To find the truth and grab a hold
To say no more and take a stand

Forever on I take this song across the sea and lands far off
Even if I'm only one I would sail this ship alone
Ever on I take this song across the sea and land far off
Even if I'm only one I would be alone in heaven

In the fading hours of day
The time is here yet not in sight
May have to let the wind and tide
Finish what I've begun
I will hold my resolve
No bitterness no regret
Unseen hands take the wheel
As the moon becomes the sun

Forever on I take this song across the sea and lands far off
Even if I'm only one I would sail this ship alone
Ever on I take this song across the sea and land far off
Even if I'm only one I would be alone in heaven

5. Echoes Of Birmingham

From the fire and smoke of an industrial
Town in england a new sound was forged

Now we are all the echoes of Birmingham

6. Into The Night

I've lived a thousand lives
In every age and race
Fought against the plague
Of hate and ignorance
My tears feel through my hands
As nations rose and feel
Watched from the shadows
As they paved their road to hell

They convinced themselves
There was no consequence
Then they exalted
Every form of decadence

Released the burden
Of the infirmed and insane
A new society elite
Will rise and remain

Peace
Through laying down our arms
Prosperity
Enforced equality and unity
Embraced diversity
And sacrifice individuality
Oh no

Once again
Leaping from the precipice
Hand in hand
As the piper leads the dance
Down below
Hear the screams from the abyss
Off they go
And disappear into the night

The dream in ruins
They confront reality
The brave new world
Just as hollow as their souls

No god above
No love within
Or regard for fellow man
No memory of the world that was
Or a chance to start again

On and on
One age to the next
The new world slips from their grasp
The pride of man is brought down
As nations rise
And nations always fall

Once again
Leaping from the precipice
Hand in hand
As the piper leads the dance
Down below
Hear the screams from the abyss
Off they go
And disappear into the night

7. Combustion

On and on
Who knows where were going
And you know
I got to keep moving

There is dream
A fire inside
I know what I'm here for
Don't stand in my way

I'll make no promise
Ill see yo again
This side of forever
But there'll come a day

On and on
I know where I'm going
Dusk to dawn
The story is telling me

Combustion
Fire in the night
Combustion
Lead me through the night

Hear a song
That sings while I'm sleeping
The voice I know
But the lyrics escape me

Awakened I'm thinking
Of dreams in the night
Telling me something
That I should surmise

Outside my window
The world passes by
Just misty memories
Of places and times

Hear the song
Thats singing inside you
Someone knows
The fear that is haunting

Combustion
Lighting up the sky
Combustion
Set the night alight

Combustion
Lighting up the sky
Combustion
Set the night alight

Combustion
See the fire in your eyes
Combustion
Take you through the night

8. Lady Of Sorrows

9. Down

Tear away the veil of lies
Sight is coming to the blind
Were standing at the threshold
Our destiny's arrived

The ancient cloak
The twisted hold
That once bound humanity
Oppressive bonds are crumbling
Hate filled doctrines and fantasies

You won't hold me down
I've tasted freedom
Cast my chains to the ground
You won't hold me down
This is just beginning
Your world is turning upside down

Damn them and their sympathy
Their talk of love and peace
Just as I am on bended knee
But always just beyond our reach

We are here and now
Fire water earth and sea
We are all there is
We are all we need
Right?

The system was broken
Left us all out in the rain
The paradigm has shifter
We ll take the place where we belong

You won't hold me down
I've tasted freedom
Cast my chains to the ground
You won't hold me down
This is just beginning
Your world is turning upside down

You can't hold me down
I've tasted freedom
Cast my chains to the ground
You can't hold me down
This is just beginning
I'm turning your world upside down

10. Embers Of Torment

A scream broke the night
From a house on a hill
Your last breath was counted
And the veil was removed

What did you see what did you expect
Were fully prepared for what was next
And did the fires of hell
Burn brighter that night
Did the gruesome horde
Howl in delight?

You met your maker
Then you met your master
Oh and I wonder
Did you think that you'd live forever
Your blasphemies never remembered
Or did you not know
What was waiting for you
As sure as lightning is followed by thunder

In the embers of torment
In the fires receive your wage
In the embers of torment
Theres a debt you can never pay
In the embers of torment
Now you knew there would come a day
In the embers of torment
Your master prepared your place

To do what thou wilt
Was the whole of your law
And woe unto anyone
Who crossed your dark path
In secret orders
Under pseudonyms
Rituals magic and madness performed
In perversion and power and heroin
You found no peace for a souls sick with sin

Oh and I wonder
What did you trade your soul for
Knowing what you would face in the end
Afraid and alone
Surely you knew

In the embers of torment
In the fires receive your wage
In the embers of torment
Theres a debt you can never pay
In the embers of torment
Now you knew there would come a day
In the embers of torment
Your master prepared your place

11. Crucible

Abuse our name
Accuse us of shame
Make us a scapegoat
A wretched horde of sin

We can not bought
And we wont be brought down
To your world of corruption
Spare us all your lies

Hardened by the hammers fall

Words are your weapons
Venom and guile
We don't stand alone
Theres a legion beside

Out of many we are one

Push it too far
Trip the snare and see
You sow to the wind you reap the hurricane
We stand united against you

Hardened by the hammers fall

Forged in the fire
Like the heat of the sun
Forged in the fire
Harder than steel
Forged in the fire
In the crucible
Forged in the fire
Now we are one

We are the blackened fold
And were forever free
There is honor and pride
And integrity

Blood has bought and paid the price
Chose this day whom you serve
You can chose death or life
Chose life

Forged in the fire
Like the heat of the sun
Forged in the fire
Harder than steel
Forged in the fire
In the crucible
Forged in the fire
Now we are one

12. Truth

Shrouded in mystery
Precious and seldom seen
The fear of both kings and thieves
Should it ring to light
What they have concealed

Consider the holy and wise
Ascended in their own eyes
Abstaining the vintage bittersweet

All in time will be revealed
Break the power of the lies
All in time will be unsealed
The truth will find us
You can run or receive
No escape nowhere to hide
All in time and you will see
