1.	Game Over 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Decades of division, separation by the fence One city, two peoples blinded by difference The world ignores our tragedy, delusions, our plight Desperate starvation, the powder keg ignites Chorus: As the two sides face off, World at the touch of a button Waiting for the first one to blink And the countdown is on... Time for action, quick reactions, scour the apartheid wall Decisions, decisions, act fast or we fall Spot the enemy, in his sights now Click of the trigger, my brethren I disavow
2.	Lady of Pain 04:30	lyrics	buy track
I've been to the edge and walked away So you return, and it all changed One look into your stormy eyes Just promise once, you'll play nice Prechorus: I should have then, walked away But now I'll have to play the game, of my... Chorus: Lady, of Pain Lady, Arcane Won't barter the price for some peace the impulsive heart, by your caprice Woman, will you cease your headgames The breaker of hearts, have you no shame?

4.	Veil of Judgment 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Habitual existence in the tribes of Aden, Mind a Serf to tradition In the presence of the stranger, Accept scars of submission Don't bat your eye, or raise your voice, At the strike of a hand Chosen for you, he’s your saint now, Mutilate on command Prechorus: Pay the penance of those so contrite Willful myopia of a blinded sight Chorus: Veil of judgment, weaves a veil of sorrow Born from hate, robs you of tomorrow Veil of judgment, spelling your defeat Internal hate, your soul incomplete Veil of judgment, quells doubt and defiance Oppresses thoughts, on him for reliance Veil of judgment, bow your head, know your place Weakens pride, your being, your face Under asylum, escape to the Diets A mind’s deliverance Is blood the concrete of your soul? Is to serve your existence? Thoughts defied in the photoplay Extinction by debris Looking death in the eyes Am I the enemy?
5.	As The Empire Falls 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Donning the miter, what he represents Doctrinal despot, Guilt concealment Lifetimes of regret, hundreds of wars Countless lives raped, to apologize for Prechorus: Accept his word as law No matter what you abhor Practice what you preach Conscience can't take it no more Enslave those in need, pollute minds of the young We know your body, admit no wrong Witch hunts, crusades, repudiate and suppress Are you men of dishonor, or will you confess? Prechorus: Accept his word as law No matter what you abhor Practice what you preach Conscience can't take it no more Chorus: Actions by men of the cloth, in time justice befalls The deception well runs dry, as the empire falls As the walls are closing in, and lady justice calls Your reign is at its end, as the empire falls
