SHADOWBANE LYRICS

1. Red Alert

[Instrumental]

2. Beyond The Winds Of War

You can’t get over – Can’t kill the pain
Your heart is wounded – You are going insane
You feel the anger – Deep in your mind
So rage and fury – Dictate your kind

Forget the killing – Forget the pain
And take the pictures – Out of your brain
You tried so often – And always failed
To force your mind – Get back on trail

See the hero with an empty face
See the warriors left for good

Far beyond the winds of war
Hear the roar from distant thunder
Far beyond the winds of war
Pleading cries from six feet under

See the hero with an empty face
See the warriors left for good

Far beyond the winds of war
Hear the roar from distant thunder
Far beyond the winds of war
Pleading cries from six feet under

3. Traitor

What have you done to the people that put all their faith in you?
Broke all the chains and you brought us a nasty surprise

Betrayed to the enemies
We stand in the ruins of war
No-one can see what you’ve done

Traitor – There is no turning back
Traitor – Revenge will be mine

What have you done to the city that put all its hope in you?
Eroded the defense, delivered destruction and pain

Betrayed to the enemies
We stand in the ruins of war
No-one can see what you’ve done

Traitor – There is no turning back
Traitor – Revenge will be mine
Traitor – There is no turning back
Traitor – Revenge will be mine

4. Under Bleeding Skies

Prologue:
And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each,
Came down from heaven upon men;
And men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail,
Because its plague was extremely severe.
[Revelation 16:21]

Chaos sets the stage
As the ground starts to shake
Who pushed the button,
Made the world like livin’ hell?

The stroke comes very quickly,
The stroke comes very fast
The seventh angel arises
To desecrate the human race

Buried in the ashes of destiny
Stars disappearing into a flaming sun

Under bleeding skies
The extinction of all mankind
Under bleeding skies
To dust we will decay
Under bleeding skies
There will be no forever
Under bleeding skies
Nightmare turns into reality

Days disguised in darkness
Days disguised in blood
Red colored horizon
When it all comes to an end

A million shattered voices
Drowning into tears
A million souls unite as one
Suffer the pain – forevermore

Buried in the ashes of destiny
Stars disappearing into a flaming sun

Under bleeding skies
The extinction of all mankind
Under bleeding skies
To dust we will decay
Under bleeding skies
There will be no forever
Under bleeding skies
Nightmare turns into reality

5. After The Fallout

The world after the fallout
Just isn’t the same
People are livin’ like bastards
Fighting for shelter they claim

Castoffs with infernal bleedings
Horrible tremors and pain
Stray alone through the wastelands
Covered by deadly black rain

Fighting goes on
Each one on his own
Fighting goes on

After the Fallout, every promise is void
Invisibly hunting all alive
No-one escapes here – nowhere to run
Only tyrants will survive

Leaders inside the shelters
Decide who can live, whom to eat
In times of contamination
Healthy ones serve them as meat

The fear of the nuclear winter
Causes many to fly
However the fields of radiation
Will kill everybody who tries

Fighting goes on
Each one on his own
Fighting goes on

After the Fallout, every promise is void
Invisibly hunting all alive
No-one escapes here – nowhere to run
Only tyrants will survive

After the fallout…
After the fallout…

6. Dystopia

Our world to be destroyed,
Our lives: On the edge!
The threat, to overshadow:
The ones who know they’re right

Their stories are unproven
But they’re forced on everyone
For minds with ultimate morals
There ain’t no compromise

Not city of angels nor city of sin
The last place to be when ideologists win

Dystopia – The city of nightmare
Dystopia – Freedoms last resort

They claim a deeper meaning
To overcome everything else
Indeed, when they’re in power
You can convert or die

No proofs can change their mind
Blind faith: Uncurable
Try ‘n’ get away tonight
The city’s gonna fall

Not city of angels nor city of sin
The last place to be when ideologists win

Dystopia – The city of nightmare
Dystopia – Freedoms last resort

7. Tear Down The Wall

Suffer a system never caring for you
Oppression for many, power and money for few

Out in the streets – Freedom is burning
People start making a stand
Out in the dark nights when history’s turning
Dissidents dare to defend

United – We’re heeding the call
Brawling and fighting but suffering and dying alone
United – Tear down the walls
Torture, oppression, distress and fear won’t go on
As time marches on

Misstaught by censors, cheated by power and rules
Enlightened victims widely enforcing the coup

Out in the streets – Freedom is burning
People start making a stand
Out in the dark nights when history’s turning
Dissidents dare to defend

United – We’re heeding the call
Brawling and fighting but suffering and dying alone
United – Tear down the walls
Torture, oppression, distress and fear won’t go on
As time marches on

8. Badlands Law

Into the morning sun
Somehow he’ll find our way
Riding the dry wind, dust in his eyes
Cursed the day

Night – Night steals the light away
Now is the time to break free
Judgment day has passed away
Awaken at dawn – Dead land ahead

Law! Law! Law of the Badlands
Innocence lost – I am God – I am king of the land
Law! Law! Law of the Badlands
My fist of hate raised high to strike you down
To strike you down

He is the ruler – The savior
Thy kingdom come
Roams through the wastelands, takes what he needs
Save the world

Night – Night steals the light away
Now is the time to break free
Judgment day has passed away
Awaken at dawn – Dead land ahead

Law! Law! Law of the Badlands
Innocence lost – I am God
I am king of the land
Law! Law! Law of the Badlands
My fist of fate raised high to strike you down
I’m Badlands Law

Law! Law! Law of the Badlands
Innocence lost – I am God
I am king of the land
Law! Law! Law of the Badlands
My fist of fate raised high to strike you down
To strike you down

9. Last Division

After the day, that changed the world
Nothing remained, nowhere to go
For possible grounds, fights till the end
We can’t give up

If you can’t keep up, this is your end
A big lack of space, where live can go on
A huge crowd of men, made homeless at once
You can’t give up

Death threatens all our lives
In nuclear wastelands we hide
The losers in games, of power and might
But be aware, we will return – We’ll fight!

We are the Last Division alive – Alive
We are the lost – Invisible fights
We are the Last Division alive – Alive
On the fields of radiation

Forced to maraud, to plunder and wreck
Injured from fallout, from bottom to neck
Heading for shelters, an infinite trek
We can’t give up

Within a few minutes, we’ve lost half the world
At least for the moment, and centuries to come,
Half the mankind, a final deadly run
You can’t give up

Death threatens all our lives
In nuclear wastelands we hide
The losers in games, of power and might
But be aware, we will return – we’ll fight!

We are the Last Division alive – Alive
We are the lost – Invisible fights
We are the Last Division alive – Alive
On the fields of radiation

10. Source Of Grief

All your life, you have been
On the run – Always!
Take your time, think again
Fuck the world – Forevermore

Hundreds of years
Nothing has changed
No rising call for freedom
People in fear
Do not see
There is nothing to loose

The source of grief – The root of all evil
The source of grief – Enter the pain
The source of grief – The root of all evil
The source of grief – Goin’ insane

For the last time, in your life
Look at your homeland, the reason for strife
Die for your leaders and act as a tool,
Abused as a weapon, you ignorant fool

For the last time, in your life
Hug your children, kiss your wife.
Fight against men, much closer to you
Than the bigwigs you die for – and your opponents do!

Leaders in peace – Leaders in war
Rip of inferiors brazen
People in fear – Are victims for free
If they don’t stand up united

The source of grief – The root of all evil
The source of grief – Enter the pain
The source of grief – The root of all evil
The source of grief – Goin’ insane

For the last time, in your life
Look at your homeland, the reason for strife
Die for your leaders and act as a tool,
Abused as a weapon, you ignorant fool

For the last time, in your life
Hug your children, kiss your wife.
Fight against men, much closer to you
Than the bigwigs you die for – and your opponents do!
