Bet on Death 03:18
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 05:09
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 04:39
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

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

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
