@ALBUM: _THE IVTH CRUSADE_ BOLT THROWER from FALZE, enjoy!! ======= @SONG: "The IVth Crusade" Mortified by the lack of conscience Our sanctity bears no relevance Insignificance is our existence Hear the litany of life's persistence Our pleas for mercy fall upon unhearing ears Take my life, my soul, wipe away these bitter tears Vanquished in the name of your god One of the same to whom we all pray Vanquished in the name of your god One of the same to whom we once prayed Try to close my mind - From the screams I hear Repentance is denied, the confirmation of my fear ======= @SONG: "Icon" No escape, there is no way out Of this constructed existence A created image of untrue conception You cannot find the real you Manipulated a hyped invention Who is this false identity? The ideal person, perfect role model Beneath you can feel the cracks Now your nerves begin to break Losing grip, now it's too late Perceive this no fallacy This icon faces insanity On the verge of mental breakdown Forgotten realms of madness are found Now you face the final curtain Your future life is now uncertain ======= @SONG: "Embers" From the glowing fragments of what remains The soul shall rise from amongst the flames From smouldering ruins the power grows Feel the pulse of fear as we regain control From the ashes of a million dead The children of tomorrow now are led Into the darkness as emotions slowly Memories of the past cannot be saved Bowing down to face your new found life There is no escape, you must comply This resurrected hate can't be denied Asking for redemption - we laugh and look away There shall be no exception - Revenge on man begins today You thought that it was all over, But its only just begun For your life is mortal, Look to what fate will become Learn to live afraid of what may be For we possess this world - All that you see Your life is no more than a game to me Visions of the future reflected in the past Existing in the present which surely cannot last From the void terror takes its hold Face the wrath as history unfolds ======= @SONG: "Where Next To Conquer" Lost on a voyage with no destiny Forgotten original ideology generations born and died Their intentions misplaced through time Another world falls to its knees With vast contempt your hatred breeds Nothing left for us to slaughter Annihilation achieved Where next to conquer? Civilizations of the past Faced attrition now ripped apart Moving onwards to another war Into battle to die once more An endless spiral of depravity Mankind's journey throughout infinity Where next to conquer? ======= @SONG: "As The World Burns" Turn around and shield your eyes Don't look back as the earth dies No tomorrow for eternity The apocalyptic prophecy Few shall survive the final war Our futile lives shall be no more Innocent victims of the nuclear glare Are torn apart as they stand unaware The whole world is radioactive What's left of man now unproductive None shall escape the fall-out rain Our future life shall be steeped in pain Feel the chill of the nuclear winds Our planets downfall shall now begin No excuse for the vast destruction Caused by man with no comprehension Life expectancy now decreases As atomic warfare rapidly increases Our foolish games, what have we learnt? No time for sorrow as the world burns ======= @SONG: "This Time Its War" Intimidation you can't take much more No compromise - this time its war Take none alive - their battle cry roars Nowhere to hide - this time its war Face the fear that grips your mind The final conflict - the end of mankind Read the hatred deep within their eyes It's your time to die you now realise What has occurred to man Just isn't how you planned Enslaved by machinery Submit to technology Our furture lives - Mankinds entity Lies in our hands - Together we must face reality A ruined world of lost identity Technological supremacy ======= @SONG: "Ritual" Remembering promises Once made but now unspoken Born of child like minds These shadows of the past are now forsaken From the dawn of your first day To this death bed on which you lay To survive we must comply With the ritual of your life Can you remember things we said The dreams our expectations Like ashes scattered in the wind There is no recollection Throughout the passing years Faith will allay your years Follow the holy rites In the ritual of your life Life an endless ritual Continuation perpetual Throughout the passing years Faith will allay your years Follow the holy rites In the ritual of your life Try to remember if you can The pacts we made most solemn Hands of time have brought decay Those memories are forgotten Now as you reach the end All pain you must transcend When you die you can't deny The ritual of your life ======= @SONG: "Spearhead" Spearhead marching onward Take my soul sacrificial offering Your initial strike taken by surprise Now left alone, condemned by my pride Drained of all emotion - body now an empty shell There's nothing left - you've taken all away (chorus) Adrenaline flows Now filled with anger Just what will be the outcome Mass confusion tears my mind Spearhead - No victory sublime Another fallen victim - I will not beg to you Spearhead - to which I cannot hold With clear perception my destiny unfolds I look to the reflection, fail to recognize what's seen A figure clothed in hatred, I pray that this cannot be Faced by this total stranger - aware of your creation No vision of the former self Controlled by your instruction Onward you advance, left in a mindless trance Hypnotised by your will, desire is now instilled Now staring face to face, your eyes filled wih hate Held by your contempt, both by weakness and by strength (repeat chorus) ======= @SONG: "Celestial Sanctuary" As the sky turns black And the earth sleeps in peace Roaming the clouds In search of a sacred place Spirits soar higher, to a land where they are king Mortal shells left with you, within shadows they dwell Take me far away - deep within the dream There I can be free from life's misery Blood rushes through my veins I can feel exhilaration The freedom of my mind can take me far beyond Take me far away - deep within the dream There clearly seen life's unreality Sanctuary Take me far away - deep within the dream There I can be free from life's misery Each night I await the call of my silent quest To run through the wind alive in the darkness Take me far away - deep within the dream There clearly seen life's unreality As the dawn gets closer - to my body I shall return To live amongst you all, for nightfall I yearn ======= @SONG: "Dying Creed" Fallen are the people of a decaying race Now proclaim the legacy inherited too late - too late Mankind - The dying creed, Reared on ignorance and greed On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs A path of self destruction they cannot see Regarding their only interest in profitability - They cannot see Open up your mind before its too late Unlock the chains of confinement that we create Grasping all that you can - overloaded capacity Nothing can conceal instinctive rapacity A movement to disaster could this be the final plan Blinded by our avarice, the closing chapter, extinction of man Mankind - The dying creed, Reared on ignorance and greed On suffering we feed, devouring all beyond our needs ======= @SONG: "Through The Ages" words aren't included for this in the lyrics
