Bet on Death

I play my cards with my heart on my sleeve
I never ever was a man of belief
I bide my time with a life on the edge
I never ever played a game I couldn't win
Sitting at the table and shooting some dice
In comes a woman and ooh she looking nice
I talk her up and give her a spin
I never ever played a game I couldn't win
Here at the bar and shooting some pool
Just cracking jokes and acting like a fool
Up comes a man with fire in his eyes
He says today a man's gonna die
A voice from the back says "yea, you wanna bet?"
Well if you do you better bet on death!
Bet on death
You close your eyes and
Shoot the dice
Place your bets
The gambles on
You better pray and
Bet on death
I play my cards with my heart on my sleeve
I never ever was a man of belief
I bide my time with a life on the edge
I never ever played a game I couldn't win
The ace of spades and snake eyes shooting fast
Leave all your inhibitions, worry in the past and
Bet on death
You close your eyes and
Shoot the dice
Place your bets
The gambles on
You better pray and
Bet on death

Casus Belli

Passed down through ancient scrolls
We found the name
Hidden deep in their catacombs
A valid claim
I want their land, I want it all
And from our power they will fall
I know our allies will heed the call
To press our claim
I call the men to war
The fires of the furnace rage
Prepared for war
This conquest of our enemies
To be forged in lore
With mighty steel and mighty arms
Weeks of travel to meet our cause
We raise the banners and make our charge
Into the fray
I call the men to war
I promise blood and gore
A Given certainty
We'll make the enemy bleed
Casus Belli
A cause for war
Casus Belli
A cause for war
Out on the field
The armies arrive
Waiting for flesh
Carnage will thrive
Wait for the horn
Of battle to blow
Then we will charge
And vanquish the foe
Scream with me now
My brothers of war
Raise up the shields
And even the score
Strike with the strength
Of ten thousand men
I'll fight at your side
To the bitter end
So here we stand upon the graves
Of our enemies
Not a single soul was spared
Burned legacies
Stripped of all they once held dear
Usurpers throne is now held here
And all your subjects will shed a tear
And submit defeat
Casus Belli
A cause for war
Casus Belli
A cause for war

Beacons
05:08
|

Standing at the edge
We guard the world
Ever from the deep
Keep the horrors out
The endless void
Harbingers of peace
Standing
Watching
Guarding
The beacons are lit
Standing
Watching
Guarding
The beacons are lit
At the end of time
We meet them there
Just outside the walls
From the sea below
And from the sky
The great red eye will call
Ever will we stand
The sentinels
Guarding the white tree
Fighting for the light
Erase the dark
The realms of men are free
Standing
Watching
Guarding
The beacons are lit
Standing
Watching
Guarding
The beacons are lit
The walls of the white city are never gonna fall
The riders from the west fold will answer the call
The great lord of the darkness who we face at the gate
Will never see us coming, the time of men awaits
Eternal and unknown
We sing the song
Ancient melodies
Forgotten is our voice
Where is it now
Fading memories
When trouble awaits
You know the call
Gather round the pit
Lift the torches up
And cast them down
The beacons are lit
Standing
Watching
Guarding
The beacons are lit
Standing
Watching
Guarding
The beacons are lit

Celestion

Shoot them down
Laser cannons send them straight to the ground
Watch your back
Mercenary Captain leads the attack
Aim to kill
Looking for a target with blood to spill
Time to hunt
Interstellar bounty hunter on the battlefront
On the run
Disintegrating anyone in front of my gun
Name your price
Striking hard and fast, element of surprise
Warp speed now
Enemy retreat we cannot allow
Now we fight
Neither pen nor sword can save you tonight
Celestion
Celestion
That is my name
I don't fear the grave
Celestion
I take the jobs nobody wants
We face an endless sea of stars
Drifting through cosmos unexplored
We'll fight for anybody's war
Crush their morale
Bomber squadron take out the flag ship now
Take their flank
Interceptors presence will make them quake
Unleash hell
My armada has nothing but pain for sale
No remorse
Each and every one of them will end up a corpse
Celestion
Celestion
That is my name
I don't fear the grave
Celestion

Sangre de las Montañas
02:34
|
|||
Entonces ahí estaba yo
Al pie de las montañas
Con mi corazón en la mano
Y mis venas se llenaron de miedo
Mientras doy cada paso
Siento mi cuerpo dolorido por el final
El final donde puedo reclamar
El final donde me puedo quedar
Tan lejos en esta montaña voy
Para encontrar consuelo y paz
Para encontrar ira y dolor
Para encontrar lo que busco
Cuando llego al pico mas alto
Estoy restaurado y revivido
Puedo sentirlo corriendo por mis venas
La sangre de las montañas

Demonolith
06:28
|

Finding the path
Treading the sands
What will awake
What doom we make
Gods of the old
Decadence untold
A lair in the dunes
A spire of man's ruin
Such prices to pay
To keep it at bay
This obelisk of fate
This great evils gate
We tempted the fire
We felt man's desire
But now we will burn
Its the ancient ones turn
Bow down to the sun
Bow down to the one
Bow down to the myth
Demonolith
The runes are glowing red
They're filling me with dread
I feel their hellish pull
The fate I see is cruel
And now that we await
To see this demons face
I see the burning skull
It's eyes are in control
Bow down to the sun
Bow down to the one
Bow down to the myth
Demonolith
I feel it in my mind
Bone fingers try to find
That thing that makes me whole
My shriveled ugly soul
Years of distrust and hate
And doing deeds un-great
I have been weighed and seen
And have been found wanting
I suddenly feel off
Something is going wrong
My great life's path
Is slipping from my hands
The demon laughs
How much time has passed
I am carved on with
The great Demonolith
Bow down to the sun
Bow down to the one
Bow down to the myth
Demonolith

Blasphemer
03:25
|
|||
The smell of rotting flesh
Seeps through your nose
The mildew on the walls
Seeps into your bones
And you don't know how you got here
You don't know where you've been
You've lived a cursed life
Since you were born
Labeled blasphemer
You felt the scorn
A thousand judgments for your actions
You feel the weight of sin
Feel the weight of sin
Treachery begin
Blasphemer resigns
Paying for their crime
Nothing to regret
God won't judge me yet
Hang for what I've done
Meet the morning sun
Declared apostasy
Now you'll be judged
Searching for the truth
That you begrudged
You met the path of most resistance
The inquisition now awaits
Feel the weight of sin
Treachery begin
Blasphemer resigns
Paying for their crime
Nothing to regret
God won't judge me yet
Burn for what I've done
Join the morning sun
A scholar of your time
Now you will see
What is done to those
In heresy
Whether burned or hanged like vermin
A witch or petty thieves
Chained against the wall
You cannot escape
Feel the jaws of death
Awaiting your fate
Remorse you've been deprived of
Sit and wait for your time to die
Feel the weight of sin
Treachery begin
Blasphemer resigns
Paying for their crime
Nothing to regret
God won't judge me yet
Burn for what I've done
Join the morning sun

Door to the Moon
06:24
|
|||
I awake and find myself washed in a pale light
There you stand, holding out your hand
And I say "take me home"
I wash my hands in pools of silver twilight
I walk towards the bleeding crimson sun
And I say "take me home"
Lead me through the valley of crumbling stars
Now we've come to where I once belonged
And you walk me through, a door to the moon
A door to the moon
A door to the moon

Over the hills of the forgotten
Slithering coldly though the grass
An omen ill long in slumber
Lost in the voices of the past
Seeking the new face of reason
A treacherous poison drips from fang
Yearning for freedom consigned to oblivion
The winds of change have come to stay
The sacrifice of the people
The sacrifice of the gods
When all that's left are your memories
Keep moving forward through the falls
The coming
The coming
The coming
The coming of the west wind
The coming
The coming
The coming
The coming of the west wind
I see past the horizon
A new day comes
Washing over the shores of corruption
Astronomical winds fill our lungs
Upon reflection, cast away the burden in your heart
Gazing deeply in the mirror casts a shadow on your soul
Like a blanket of despair, it is creeping through the dark
The truth that you recognize is a burning reflection of you
I see the candlelight flicker
I hear the coming of the tide
I smell the reeking corpse of sickness
I feel the coming of the west wind
Breathe it in, don't fight what you're made for
Accept your fate at the foot of the palace
Don't deny the voice of your maker
Breathe now of the west winds malice
The coming
The coming
The coming
The coming of the west wind
The coming
The coming
The coming
The coming of the west wind
