2.	Murder on Contract 03:28	lyrics	buy track
A lady in black, cold retribution The chapter’s begun, seeking restitution In the shadows, all pulses on high Gotta make it fast, ‘cause the job’s on the line Won’t relent, till the target’s felled Her aspiration is to see you in hell Assassin, butcher, murder on contract Dagger, saber, provisions for attack How do you face her in the dark When she is so hard to find? Is she right, behind you now Or is she just a myth inside your mind? One hit, one mark, such a lucrative trade Sink it deep, another notch on the blade Blood on the knife, objective’s complete Pack up, get out, and call for the priest Won’t relent, till the target’s felled Her aspiration is to see you in hell Assassin, butcher, murder on contract Dagger, saber, provisions for attack How do you face her in the dark When she is so hard to find? Is she right, behind you now Or is she just a myth inside your mind? How do you face her in the dark When she is so hard to find? Is she right, behind you now Or is she just a myth inside your...? How do you face her in the dark When she is so hard to find? Is she right, behind you now Or is she just a myth inside your mind?
3.	Age of Ashes 05:32	lyrics	buy track
Born in submission, under the regime Young left with shattered, remains of a dream Big brother’s watch guard, not freedom sustained Disenchanted lineage, the future waits in vain, again! Read from the new truth, just rewritten lies To question equals certain death, same face, new disguise The skilled no place to grow, the sewer no seeds to sew The artifacts are staled, by the status quo! No one said it’d be like this! Sold out, you know we’re down on a future Been downsized by the counterculture No hope, ‘cause there’s nothing for you The age of ashes, balance overdue Sold to authority, driven by profit and greed They’ll sell what you really want, save for what you need Equality under law, won’t come for those who can’t pay You can’t own paradise, your government gave it away! You ain’t gonna get too far! Sold out, you know we’re down on a future Been downsized by the counterculture No hope, ‘cause there’s nothing for you The age of ashes, balance overdue “Stay in school for a great career” Was subterfuge, nothing appeared Born you are, in the machine The age of ashes, promise unseen! Fed remains of utopia! Sold out, you know we’re down on a future Been downsized by the counterculture No hope, ‘cause there’s nothing for you The age of ashes, balance overdue “Stay in school for a great career” Was subterfuge, nothing appeared Born you are, in the machine The age of ashes, promise unseen!
4.	Dreams of Madness 05:24	lyrics	buy track
Awakened by nightmares, the fates in your head Where lucidity once tread Asking the mentor, but what does he know? The answers to questions lie six feet below Echo their solemn cries that chars the shadow inside The dreams of madness, take hold of your life Your sanity, they’ll crucify The dreams of madness, control and terrorize The limits of reason, are paralyzed On the horizon, storms in the midst All here are destined to suffer The eyes of deception, and the teeth of their lies It’s not just a dream anymore Echo their solemn cries that chars the shadow inside The dreams of madness, take hold of your life Your sanity, they’ll crucify The dreams of madness, control and terrorize The limits of reason, are paralyzed... The dreams of madness, take hold of your life Your sanity, they’ll crucify The dreams of madness, control and terrorize The limits of reason, are paralyzed...
5.	Through the Mirror 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Seems there's some commotion, starting in town Wild run emotions, as their blood coats the ground No innocent are spared, caught in the crossfire Papers call it a "surge", and send it on the wire Chorus: Looking through the mirror, of lies and illusion The story sold, blurred with delusion Looking through the mirror, society disintegrates New Rome has had its run, liberty eviscerates Distortions of the truth, for an illegal war No pittance for the lost, lives of the poor No cost too small, just ignore the flood When the price of oil, is the price of blood Appointed misleaders, empire's formation Who fix the law, purchased legislation Gone are the days, of envisioned democracy Welcome to the land, of the American theocracy Looking through the mirror, of lies and illusion The story sold, blurred with delusion Looking through the mirror, society disintegrates New Rome has had its run, liberty eviscerates
6.	In The Night (Remix) 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Searching the land, far and wide Unaffected action, seems so trite Protected by his camouflage And hidden from all sight Taking the orders on command Give the wicked their last rites Impassive of this vain act He has a fascist in his sights Place your finger, on the trigger Tonight you take another life In your crosshairs, stalks your prey Deadly sharpness in the night (Lock!...) (Load!... (Fight!...) In the night! Track a target, squeeze the trigger Another number added to the score On the ambush, a silent killer Ever searching to add one more Under fire, a lethal game We’ve got to hold on and survive Entrusted with a nation’s freedom Outwit and come out alive Place your finger, on the trigger Tonight you take another life In your crosshairs, stalks your prey Deadly sharpness in the night (Lock!...) (Load!... (Fight!...) In the night! (Lock!...) (Load!... (Fight!...) (In the night!...) (Lock!...) (Load!... (Fight!...) In the night!
7.	A Prayer Away 00:28	lyrics	buy track
Hail Mary, full of Grace The Lord is with thee Blessed art thou among women And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God Pray for us sinners, now And at the hour of death. ...Amen
8.	Infidel 05:27	lyrics	buy track
I've said my prayers, for my penance I prepare Salvation, is a prayer away Prechorus: A new crusade, on ancient sand Kill to possess, the Promised Land Martyr or murder, sustaining death Those who sacrifice, will be blessed Advance the doctrine, raised to hate God deliver us, from those who speak in his name Prechorus: Interpretation, of his will His divine plan, must be fulfilled Religion or cult, the nation's dissolved Slaughter for us, you'll be absolved Chorus: We lay down our lives, in the name of god Cleanse our holy land, kill the heathen dogs. Blind devoted will, ignorant desperate faith Will time remember them, as insurgent or a saint? The Gaza crusade, reclaim the holy land An Inch is gained, more martyrs the for father's hand 2000 years of sacred animosity ...Forsaker of the cause Blur the lines between malice and creed ...Holy scripture is your law Elder tyranny, dispatcher of rights ...The fear of death impels Believe in yourself, lead the fight ...I fight the… Infidel

11.	The Heretic (Remix) 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Come and walk with the man, his evil you'll embrace Don't listen: he's the devil, he'll rob you of your grace You cannot find the truth, the inquest of your soul You won't live to tell, the terrors he controls Chorus: The heretic, condemned at dawn The heretic, just Satan’s pawn I will spread terror to all, malevolence in my mind Remorseful vengeance surrounding me, annihilation of their kind My beliefs are opposed, I know I'm not alone How can I not question, as a man I am my own
