1.	Through Hell and Back 03:00	lyrics	buy track
I am no longer here Float through the astrals sphere Surreal figure in black Takes me through hell and back Celebration rings through the bell tower Intense feeling of growing power Reception as far as my eye can see Unaware that this is all for me I am no longer here Float through the astrals sphere Surreal figure in black Takes me through hell and back Contract signed a new existence Aim for the kill a new resistance Second coming through fire and ice Carry the flag to paradise My body slain through sacrifice A faded pulse now pumps with life Bloodshed ritual of unholy rites Figure in black, the Antichrist Return to earth and feel the pain of mortal man Return to life and kill the beast that rule the land Return to earth and feel the pain of mortal man Return to life and kill the beast that rule the land
2.	The Reaper's Line 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Crossing the Reaper’s line Breathe in the night eternal dark Vison and sight wearing the mark Enter a world where we walk with death Reborn again I take my first breath Onto these hands a curse on these rings Clutching the flesh the power it brings Quiet and calm, forest and mist Shine from the moon, guiding the way Carry the torch we walk through the flame Return to form but I‘m not the same Into the black, light cracks through the sky Into the black, piercing through my eyes Is this the place I must destroy Is this my goal end of the line Is this the place, is this the goal, Is this the place, ready to go On with the show ready to go On with the show ready to go Ready to go Ready to go Ready to go Ready to go Ready to go Ready to go Ready to go...Go! Go! Go! End of the line A rapid pace complete this task Before the rising sun Adrenaline pounding through me Heart beating like a drum In the distance through the skyline Cracks the rising sun Terminate the league of death My mission almost done The Reaper’s line Lighting the fuse the reaper’s line Something is wrong something is wrong Oh no, What have I done?
3.	Imperfections 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Smoke clears all around me I was wrong, now everyone’s gone forever Horror in my vision I was wrong, the voices are gone forever Forever New wounds are now open Black cloud is the curse My Blood running cold As I scorch the earth So take me as I am, With imperfections Don’t let me go a broken man, With imperfections Please take me as I am, With imperfections No one knows my sorrow, My Imperfections Don’t judge me as an enemy I bare the scars to victory Pieces of me begin to fray And I will suffer everyday
4.	Roadblock 02:54	lyrics	buy track
Detour turn back Wrong way dead end wasteland Lethal mistake Warning ahead Roadblock In the open road I’m exposed to barbaric lands In the open road I know exactly where I stand Man of fate Approach the site of terror and hate Man of pain Is spilling blood that will wash away with the rain Lord of light About to face something hidden from sight God of fear Reveals itself the intentions are clear Clear clear clear Intense Stand off Alarm Triggers attack Suffer Brutal Beating chocking blood loss In the open road I’m exposed to barbaric lands In the open road I know exactly where I stand Free from sound The vultures hover where we lay on the ground Time is still A sudden shock heart pumping adrenalin fill Twitch to life My sight is blurry as I’m breathing to life Crawl and rise Walk to the kill and look in the enemy’s eyes Eyes eyes eyes Destroy roadblock Destroy the roadblock
5.	Caress of Darkness 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Dark cloud hangs heavy trying to bring me down Clearly no bastard will burn me to the ground Remove my self worth from losing everything The strength I now bring is from my suffering An open wound as wide as the sea, Forever healing Alter the course a future unseen, Give me new meaning Sting of the tears the heart is alive, Beating the darkest This is my path this is my life, Caress of darkness Damage continues biting through every nerve Control keeps me from depleting my reserve Mirror staring back in the eyes nearly dead Staring in the eyes in the eyes burning red Climbing the mountain to victory And watch the sun rise again Overcome darkness now I can see That this is the start not the end To merchants of doom and to all those Who tried to spit on my goal Malicious actions meant to corrode Will never tarnish my soul Sting of the tears the heart is alive, Beating the darkest This is my path this is my life, Caress of darkness Sting of the tears the heart is alive, Beating the darkest This is my path this is my life, Caress of darkness
6.	Horizon 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Alone Warm winds blow through empty streets There’s nothing here, moving or living I walk alone, there’s no one here But something is coming, moving Marching carnage Horizon Crossing the bridge Horizon Faint distant noise Horizon March to destroy Horizon Rise of smoke enters the sky Approaching roar closing louder Now in my sight, killing machine Feelings burn of anger and hatred Marching carnage Horizon Crossing the bridge Horizon Faint distant noise Horizon March to destroy Horizon Disturbing sight of crushing wheels Horizon Journey across the burning fields Horizon Descending sun chocking the light Horizon Discovering the armoured sight Horizon I feel the crawl under my skin The dance of death soon to begin End the state controlled by hate End the war forever more Control my fate is everything The dance of death soon to begin Rise from flames Rise from hate
7.	Ignition 03:21	lyrics	buy track
The reign of tyranny will come to an end A higher power the greater the fall The reign of tyranny will come to an end The rising power is hitting the wall Mission this evening, Destroy all suffering Freedom will come to all, Tyrants reduced to crawl Creep slowly in the dark, Key into the ignition Prepare to ignite the spark, I am the apparition One shot to take this down One shot to crush the crown Crush the crown The curtains drawn the show begins Take down the flag means everything The curtains drawn the show begins Adjust my seat to slay the king Ignition Turn the key light the spark disappear in the dark Ignite me light the spark disappear in the dark Can’t believe what I’ve seen Marching through this death machine Evil minds make their mark corrupted patriarch Through the night it gets intense, Some horrid screams beyond the fence I have my plan and know it well Exposure to this bitter hell I am the key to this ignition
8.	Nightfall 03:02	lyrics	buy track
It’s time Kill the engine, coast to the side, Fire still burns heat to the core, this time Walk with sundown Break through new ground All for one one for all time to kill crush these walls No one knows I am near No one knows I am here Nightfall Nightfall Nightfall Nightfall It’s time Step into chaos dying through bloodloss Riding the death wave one foot in the grave Step into Dying through Blood crusade To the grave Say it’s name at the door Walk right in across the floor One is here one of war You’re the one I’m looking for Say it’s name at the door Walk right in across the floor One is here one of war You’re the one I’m looking for
9.	Daybreak 05:23	lyrics	buy track
There is no surprise There is no chance to escape A certain demise There is an ending taking shape Intensive stare I see the end in sight Beyond repair Eyes glow like neon light When you die am I free Are there more at land and sea When you die am I free Are there more that I can’t see Don’t speak a word Your fate is my design Don’t breathe a word And cross the reaper’s line When you die am I free Are there more beyond the sea When you die am I free Are there more that I can’t see In this brutal war your body greets the floor Tears fall with the night Horizon creeps with light With light Daybreak Feeling the weight Break free from all of these chains Warpath to glory Scars and the tears numb the pain Warm rays grace the skies I will walk to the edge of insane The road has new life I will walk through the fire and the rain
