Eye Of The Storm

Heave ho!
For the world is ending,
Heave ho!
Tell me why you mourn,
Heave ho!
The accursed blessing,
Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm
Close my eyes, change my mind,
Pretend my ship's not sinking
Hear their screams, just a dream
Pretend I hear them singing
With heart and anchor heavy,
Can't carry all the weight
I'm trying to believe it's not too late,
Heave ho!
For the world is ending,
Heave ho!
Tell me why you mourn,
Heave ho!
The accursed blessing,
Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm
Blissful sleep, leave me be
for just a little longer
feel no pain, wind nor rain
and the truth won't make me stronger
With heart and anchor heavy,
Can't carry all the weight
Forever I've been trying to escape
Heave ho!
For the world is ending,
Heave ho!
Tell me why you mourn,
Heave ho!
The accursed blessing,
Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm
It's the clearest of weather, if you don't look around
How many tears altogether till we've built the ocean where we drown?
Heave ho!
For the world is ending,
Heave ho!
Tell me why you mourn,
Heave ho!
The accursed blessing,
Children of night, lost in the eye of the storm

Kiss the crown, bowing down
It is your destiny, get down on your knees
Know your place, guard the gates
Serving divinity, like ants to their queen
You’ll behave just as you’re meant to
Find salvation only when you
Obey
Endless debts you’ll pay
But we’ve all got mouths to feed
Close your eyes and pray
And worship the god of greed
Hands that build, now they kill
You’re always justified - why would I lie?
All this hurt, it’s deserved
We cannot just decide who lives and who dies
You’ll behave just as you’re meant to
Find salvation only when you
Obey
Endless debts you’ll pay
But we’ve all got mouths to feed
Close your eyes and pray
And worship the god of greed
Obey
Endless debts you’ll pay
But we’ve all got mouths to feed
Close your eyes and pray
And worship the god of greed

Oceangrave
04:05
|

The tide is rising
There’s an anchor in the deep
The ship capsizing
In the water we will sleep
I’ll go down fighting
There is nowhere we can flee
Just foam and lighting,
Then the bottom of the sea
In my oceangrave, my oceangrave
It wasn’t for my own mistakes
I could die below the frozen waves
But I’m still reaching out for hope
For hope’s embrace
The tide is turning,
But I fear that it’s too late
A shipwreck burning,
And the water doesn’t wait
I count the corpses
Of my swiftly fallen friends
I stay the course, then
Hope I don’t end up like them
In my oceangrave, my oceangrave
It wasn’t for my own mistakes
I could die below the frozen waves
But I’m still reaching out for hope
For hope’s embrace
I feel my lungs are gasping out for air
Reaching out my hand, but no one’s there
My body slowly drowned
No god can hear the sound
Of my last prayer
This isn’t fair
Oceangrave, my oceangrave
In my oceangrave, my oceangrave
It wasn’t for my own mistakes
I could die below the frozen waves
But I’m still reaching out for hope
For hope’s embrace
For hope’s embrace

Let them hear us sing
Lost and broken souls
Trusted priest and king
All of the lies they told
They can hear our cries
Leave us in the cold
While the children die
Watch them count their gold
So if heaven is filled with the likes of them
We dine in hell instead
We are the young undead
Born in the grave of humankind
Breathe, fill your lungs with dread
We have already died
For we are the children of night
Poison in the air
Can't afford the cure
Children unprepared
To die in father's war
Destruction & despair
What are you crying for?
We have their thoughts & prayers
And who could ask for more?
So if heaven is filled with the likes of them
We dine in hell instead
We are the young undead
Born in the grave of humankind
Breathe, fill your lungs with dread
We have already died
For we are the children of night
We are the young undead
Born in the grave of humankind
Breathe, fill your lungs with dread
We have already died
For we are the children of night
We are the young undead
Born in the grave of humankind
Breathe, fill your lungs with dread
We have already died
For we are the children of night
We are the children of night

There is a different darkness
Deep down inside my soul
Each night I fight my hardest, hoping it won't take control
And still I taste the poison
The weight of all my wounds
My ill, infected voice from breathing in the fumes
I can hear my demons calling out
Deep in my mind
Biding their time beneath my skin
And my broken soul's a battleground
Holding the line
Desperate to find a way to win
Can I conquer the wolf within?
Can I conquer the wolf within?
There is a war inside me
My soul against my mind
My shadows always find me
Every step they're close behind
And like a waning candle
A river in a drought
My flame, with every battle slowly burning out
I can hear my demons calling out
Deep in my mind
Biding their time beneath my skin
And my broken soul's a battleground
Holding the line
Desperate to find a way to win
Can I conquer the wolf within?
Can I conquer the wolf within?
The wolf within
Conquer the wolf within

Witch Hunter

Tell another lie, god is on your side
Never ask forgiveness
You can do no wrong, bow before the strong
Purge the evil sickness
Blood upon your blade
Of all of who try to disobey
Righteous murderer, lawful liar
They call him sanctifier
Holy witch hunter,
I’m chosen for the pyre
Before I meet the jury,
He’ll find the need to kill me
Tell me witch hunter
Which one of us is guilty
Murderous you fight
The children of the night
Angels have no mercy
The all-forgiving man
With nails inside his hands
Oh, he wants you to hurt me
Blood upon your blade
Of heathens too far-gone to save
Righteous murderer, lawful liar
They call him sanctifier
Holy witch hunter,
I’m chosen for the pyre
Before I meet the jury,
He’ll find the need to kill me
Tell me witch hunter
Which one of us is guilty
Tie the noose tightly round my neck
Shepherd’s sheep that he must protect
Hunt me down once you catch the scent
Guilty till proven innocent
Righteous murderer, lawful liar
They call him sanctifier
Holy witch hunter,
I’m chosen for the pyre
Before I meet the jury,
He’ll find the need to kill me
Tell me witch hunter
Which one of us is guilty

Drinking Blood
03:41
|

Another day, another victim another funeral you won’t attend
I feel the pain that you inflicted
I see the faces of the condemned
What will you say with my blood on your hands?
You scream, “Armageddon”,
Hate like a drug
Hell or to heaven,
You’re not the judge
Hands getting dirty
Grave that you dug
Say I’m unworthy,
At least I’m not drinking blood
A little war, a little profit
Ask forgiveness after it ends
So we ignore, since we couldn’t stop it
Heed the magic mirror’s commands
Make sure to wash all that blood off your hands
You scream, “Armageddon”,
Hate like a drug
Hell or to heaven,
You’re not the judge
Hands getting dirty
Grave that you dug
Say I’m unworthy,
At least I’m not drinking blood
You’re not the judge,
No you’re not the judge
At least I’m not drinking blood
Can’t be afraid of the dark
When you’re fast asleep
You dress up like a wolf
But you were always just a sheep
You scream, “Armageddon”,
Hate like a drug
Hell or to heaven,
You’re not the judge
Hands getting dirty
Grave that you dug
Say I’m unworthy,
At least I’m not drinking blood
At least I’m not drinking blood

Every darkness has to end in morning light
Even if I’m terrified
I’ll forever fight the tide
You would hold me like an anchor
Think it’s time to cut the line
Getting stormy, we could sink here
Sailing where the sun don’t shine
God can’t hear me weak and weary
Fight the Tide
Every darkness has to end in morning light
Even if I’m terrified
I’ll forever fight the tide
Fight the Tide
You condemn me, undeserving
Just cause I won’t kiss your feet
You would send me to the burning
Not as long as my heart beats
Still you curse me, you can’t hurt me
Fight the Tide
Every darkness has to end in morning light
Even if I’m terrified
I’ll forever fight the tide
I can’t promise things will change
That your tears are not in vain
But if no god answers your cries of pain
Will you still find your strength?
Will you bend the knee to hatred and greed to save yourself?
Or will you stand?
Fight the Tide
Every darkness has to end in morning light
Even if I’m terrified
I’ll forever fight the tide
I’ll forever fight the tide
I’ll forever fight the tide
Fight the Tide

Send me back to hell, I belong there
Wash my filthy blood from your hands
Little lies you tell, "god is unfair"
Born to be a sacrificial lamb
We are the army of the damned
Shackled, bloody hands
Trying to find a world that understands
Each night they nail us to their cross
The irony is lost
The beaten and the broken make their stand
We are the army of the damned
Heavy weighs the cross of our fathers
Kill each other at your command
Profit from our loss, cannon fodder
Born to be a sacrificial lamb
We are the army of the damned
Shackled, bloody hands
Trying to find a world that understands
Each night they nail us to their cross
The irony is lost
The beaten and the broken make their stand
We are the army of the damned
Take back the life that they denied
Nothing to lose, nothing to fear
We've already died
We are the army of the damned
Shackled, bloody hands
Trying to find a world that understands
We are the army of the damned
Shackled, bloody hands
Trying to find a world that understands
Each night they nail us to their cross
The irony is lost
The beaten and the broken make their stand
We are the army of the damned
We are the army of the damned

Why Keep Heaven Waiting
04:05
|
|||
Why keep heaven waiting?
Why not see it now?
What's the point in wasting all this time?
Why keep heaven waiting?
I could be looking down
At all these fruitless mountains I would climb
Surely god can forgive my impatience,
Just a lost little child he won’t burn
And if he won’t just come down here and save us,
Tell me why I must wait for my turn,
When I have run out of reasons to live
I’ve given all that I can give
Send me an angel
Why keep heaven waiting?
I need to know the truth
Why aren’t we just dancing to our deaths?
Sit and watch us fading
Never given proof
Why not stop this sick & twisted test?
Surely god can forgive my impatience,
In this cruel little world he designed
And if I can forgive his complacence
Does his punishment still fit my crime,
When I have run out of reasons to live
I’ve given all that I can give
Am I ungrateful?
When I listened to all of the lies
Cried all the tears I can cry
Send me an angel
And what if you’re wrong?
What if there’s no one waiting?
No one I’m disobeying,
No one to hear me praying.
Why keep heaven waiting?
I have run out of reasons to live
I’ve given all that I can give
Am I ungrateful?
Cause I listened to all of the lies
Cried all the tears I can cry
Send me an angel
Or let me die

Battlecry (feat. Kala)
02:57
|

You’ve been waiting to sail for the rising tide
Seasons passing, they watch how your fire dies
If life locks you up then you break down the gate
Now, before it’s too late
I won’t wait
Wait for the sun to rise
Wait till the stars align
Push through the pain,
The time is nigh
Let me hear your battlecry
Let me hear your battlecry
With your blood on the altar they make you pray (They make you pray)
Just a pawn in their game they will make you play
Born in the fire, we’re used to the flames,
Nothing to lose but our chains
I won’t wait
Wait for the sun to rise
Wait till the stars align
Push through the pain,
The time is nigh
Let me hear your battlecry
Claiming you care,
With thoughts and with prayers
But sympathy won’t change a thing
When the moment arrives,
Open your eyes and sing
I won’t wait
Wait for the sun to rise
Wait till the stars align
Push through the pain,
The time is nigh
Let me hear your battlecry
Let me hear your battlecry

Speak to the Dead
04:07
|
|||
Speak to the dead and listen well
Save our souls from burning
Speak to the dead or we meet them instead
They will not be returning
Born below our father’s sails
Cross the ocean far
And the storm will blow, and timbers fail
We’ve lost sight of the stars
The king has sent our sorry ship
Starving for our pay
And as we break our backs
The thunder rolls
And he’s feasting far away
If the captain would lead us asunder
If his pride takes this ship to the brink
When his lungs fill with water, I wonder
How his hindsight will help when we sink?
Speak to the dead and listen well
Save our souls from burning
Speak to the dead or we meet them instead
They will not be returning
Sailing nowhere, evermore
Never will I rest
And the treasure I’ve been fighting for
Is just an empty chest
Send me to my oceangrave
Tell my love goodbye
I guess I wasn’t worth the gold they saved
So I’m condemned to die
If the captain would lead us asunder
If his pride takes this ship to the brink
When his lungs fill with water, I wonder
How his hindsight will help when we sink?
Speak to the dead and listen well
Save our souls from burning
Speak to the dead or we meet them instead
They will not be returning
No they will not be returning
No they will not be returning
