WITHIN THE RUINS LYRICS

1. Gods Amongst Men

They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don’t understand
We are evolution

They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don’t understand
We are evolution
We are gods

We were more than friends
That all changed with a spark of insanity
But I dream of a perfect harmony
Gods walking one with humanity
But I ask not for friendship or love
All I demand is fear and blind obedience
Cease your revelry and heed me

Let me in
Let me in

Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it means

They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don’t understand
We are evolution
We are gods

Oppression is no excuse
For vengeance forgive and forget to live in harmony
Inconceivable your dream is dead
Because they drew first blood
Just like I knew they would

Please let me in

Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it means

I ask not for friendship or love
All I demand is fear and blind obedience
Cease your revelry and heed me
Cease your revelry and heed me

Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I’ll show you what it means

2. The Other

I've never felt so alive / was nothing until I found my other half, my missing parcel / Crept into the deep of my mind a villain's strength now amplified / To know us is to love us / Welcome to serenity / Welcome to our complexity / We are infinite / There is only
carnage / We'll kill you most mercifully we choose our victims most carefully / There is only carnage / My body is aged but my spirit is free / I feel nothing but contempt cold and empty. / Never wound what you can't kill / I am the ultimate insanity / I was hollowed out
inside empty. / Welcome to our insanity / Welcome to our complexity / We are infinity / We'll kill you most merciful we choose our victims most carefully / There is only Carnage / My body is caged but my spirit is free / I feel nothing but contempt and empty. / There I
only carnage / We'll kill you most mercifully we choose our victims most carefully.

3. Calling Card

I am a new class of evil a cynic, a thief / a criminal with no sympathy / I will smile. My insidious smile. / My anarchist living dream / I am an agent of chaos / I am a force, a force of nature / I will smile. / My insidious smile / Live just to watch it all burn / No
plan no code no reason why / I relieve you of the burden / Of your failed an useless lives. / As your world crumbles / Your failed and useless lives are fucking done / m chaos spreads faster / Than a virus running from its cure / I'm a infectious as the next Welcome
the sickness / And all in in love with it / I will carve a smile into this pathetic world / All it takes is one bad day / To deliver a man of lunacy / And today is that day / I will carve a smile / Into this pathetic world / With my insidious smile / I will carve a smile
into this pathetic world.

4. Hegira

Whatever life holds in store for me,
I will never forget these words
With great power comes great responsibility
This is my gift, my curse
My story is not for the faint of heart
an entire life built in tragedy.
And if was all my fault.
Some say they don't want to own it
People like me.
we don't get a choice.
Take what's thrown at you head on. Head on!
My story is not for the faint of heart
an entire life built on tragedy.
This means everything.
The love, the horror and all in between
This means everything.
The love, the horror and all in between
Whatever life holds in store for me,
I will never forget these words:
With great power comes great responsibility
This is my gift, my curse
Courageous, self sacrificing
I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength,
makes us noble, and allows us to die with pride
My story is not for the faint of heart
an entire lie built on tragedy
I must answer my calling
It is what's expected of me

5. Ronin

Everyday is exactly the same
woke up by memories
and all these twisted dreams
Not sure how I got here
Not sure where I belong
Though one thing is certain
I've survived through it all.
I go where i wanna go
I see what i what to see
Always on the run,
but I'll never forget loyalty
I've survived through it all.
Still I continue on
Never try to cage the beast.
For it's what sets you free
Rely only on instinct
for it's what sets you free
The blood of thousands are on my hands, but they all deserved it.
They fucking deserved it.
I set them free
I'm still here
I go where I wanna go
I see what I want to see
Always on the run,
I go where I wanna go
I see what I want to see
but I'll never forget loyalty
Never try to cage the beast.
For it's what sets you free.
Rely only on instinct
The blood of thousands are on my hands,
but they all deserved it.
They fucking deserved
I set them free
I'm still here
Everyday is exactly the same woke up by the pain felt through all these years.
I've died a thousand times
This is my burden
This rage is my savior
This rage is my cure
This rage is my savior
This rage is my cure
This rage is my enemy
It is how I endure

6. Enigma

[Instrumental]

7. Clockwork

Oh what to do, what to do when a city had run amuck
can't tell the surviving from the dying
can't tell the corrupt from the pure
The gutters are full of blood
from the sex, scum, politics, and whores
Like a beaten child this city
whimpers backed into a corner with no one to save it
But there are still few who believe in blocking the hands that bleeds that bleed this city dry
suck it up for the ones that deserve to be alive
Justice coming to all of us
no matter what the fuck we do
This is not a conquest of men,
but of the evils that beset them.
It's all so confusing, but yet so simple
The American Dream is condemned and we're all going down.
The gutters are full of blood
from the sex, scum, politics, and whores
Like a beaten child this city whimpers
But there are still few who believe in blocking the hand that bleeds that bleeds this dry
suck it up for the ones that deserve to be alive
Judgement will come not with a gavel, but with a nuclear blast.
This utopia was built on horror
It's all so confusing, but yet so simple
The American Dream is condemned
and we're all going down.

8. Eternal Shore

Crash against her and be broken
Lying dormant in the depths of her consciousness
she always knew I was there,
kept me away, kept at bay
witness the birth of a goddess
What do you know of unlimited power
She's all she could want to be
She is fire! Life incarnate! now and forever
She is the rock of the eternal shore.
Crash against her and be broken
Hunger for the feeling of ecstasy
I crave the ultimate sensation
Lust for the feeling,
Lust for the feeling
of this destiny,
it consumes me
Crash against her and be broken
She is fire! Life incarnate!
Now and forever
She is the rock of the eternal shore.
Crash against her and be broken
An essence of beautiful terror Her power is a strong within herself
Ask not for pity, there is none in her
Ask not for mercy, there is none in her
Crash against her and be broken
What do you know of unlimited power
She's all she could want to be
She is fire! Life incarnate! Now and forever She is the rock of the eternal shore.
Crash against her and be broken
She is fire. Life incarnate.
She is fire. Life incarnate.

9. Dark Monarch

What lies underneath?
a symbol of your hope
a symbol of my fear
A product of a man raised in shadows
Some say you can't fight fate
some say you can't survive alone
But it's what i do
Its what I do that defines me
never falter
Never suffer
under any atrocity
never falter
Never suffer under any enormity
You'll never see me coming
I am the dark monarch
I must disguise my terror.
This mask created what I am.
My disguise must strike terror.
This mask created what I am.
You'll never see me coming
I am the dark monarch
A product of man
raised in shadows

10. Sentinel

Born into a life of luxury
Born into a life of war
Seeing what my genius was used or
I've decided o give something more.
my mind, my body, my mortality
I've found purpose I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die
Looking
I can now reach and touch the sky.
What really makes a man a man?
Is it love? Loss?
or his will to survive.
I've put these people in danger with the weapons I create
One the merchant of death
now an advocate of peace
my mind, my body, my mortality
I've found purpose I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die
Looking in
I can now reach and touch he sky.
Sentinel
My creation and I are in sync
My creation and I are in sync
My purpose I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die
Looking in
I can now reach and ouch the sky.
Sentinel
My creation and I are in sync
My creation and i are n sync
Bound the soul to the machine
Born into life of luxury
Born into a life of war
Seeing what my genius was used for
I've decided to give something more.
my mind, my body, my mortality
I've found purpose I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die
What really makes a man a man?
Is it love? Loss? or his will?
What really makes a man man? is love? loss?
or his will to survive.
Looking in
I can now reach and touch the sky.
Sentinel
