Take the world like you are king A game of thrones can only mean one thing Discourage to their family name TAKE OUT THE LEADERS! They know their time is up They’re on the run; THEY’RE ON THE RUN! Their fear created Exists no more For them to have control For them to lead us all There’s no damage to our structure No hindrance in this soul 
WE’LL TAKE THE WORLD BACK! Closer to conquering the elite regime (Repeat) Tonight’s the night, we stay alive We are the nation, our flag flies true We’ll fight the fight, born to survive Our sites of freedom will carry us through

Like the stones lining the streets I will pave the way To a greater ambition With an open mind We could build our dreams from scratch Moving from our past Reach out to an offer that Talks of subtle escapes For once it’s been put to me To now plant this seed As the questions get raised The fear you held on to can’t grow on me. Jaded and beaten and broken and bruised Why fucking try, when there’s nothing to lose (Repeat) LOSE! YOU LOSE! YOU FUCKING LOSE! Open your fucking eyes Loyalties don’t last forever, when your back is turned It’s all just a state of mind THIS ISN’T REVENGE! You can call it a comeback From me to a friend A friend I just want the best for you (Repeat) You won’t listen either way Step on up and pray for hate Hands together, eyes sewn shut If they play god Your life is done Deep into your violet blues A shield of glass protects this life Words of comfort disappear Keep on the mask you love to wear. (Repeat)

Harlot 04:12
Like a whirlwind I feel I’m losing control I’m tumbling through this void and have no future at all Like a whirlwind you carry my soul To sink or swim I’m questioning this option and more Like a whirlwind you tease me and leave me A whirlwind Don’t please me then leave me IS THIS HOW YOU WANTED ME TO FEEL? To feel lost without you, yeah! You sorry excuse of a fuck Listen, can you hear my silence? A whisper of beauty and violence So shut the fuck up! You think you know what you want I think you’re just as lost as ever “I want to escape, I want to escape” How many times have these words passed your lips? You think you know what you want I think you’re just as lost as ever “I want to escape, I want to escape” How may times have you fucking ran away? Like a shell from a gun shot OH! (Repeat) I love, you leave, we live I’ll take away the hand that gives My eyes look forward but my heart looks back Forever is never, I’ll stay on track This is my not so subtle goodbye to you You’ve left me stronger now You’ve left me stronger, now You were always the burden The weight of the world on my shoulders As I feel the warmth, your heart gets colder (Repeat)

Architect 02:29
RECOVERY! Of everything I ever loved I’ve got it back; I’VE GOT IT BACK! And now I’m here to see this through Majestic Poetic I knew I’d have to say this This life is only what you make it You’ve got your one chance Please don’t ever waste it This life is only what you make it You’ve got your one chance Please don’t ever waste it You haven’t even realised what you’ve become Just a number in the system Feet bound and chained in line While always thinking you’re a head above the rest Recondition all the things you broke We must speak up I’m done with poisoned minds This life is only what you make it You’ve got your one chance Please don’t ever waste it This life is only what you make it You’ve got your one chance Please don’t ever waste it RESET! RESET! THE CLOCKS OF LIFE ARE TICKING! RESET! RESET! THE CLOCKS OF LIFE ARE TICKING!

I’m planning the great escape And leaving your nightmare You’re falling and can’t be saved Drown in your own nightmare THE MISTAKES WILL HAUNT YOU! The lies you once told me Were ghosts you thought I couldn’t see And now you’re on this path Walk hand in hand into the dark A lack of sympathy, a loss of fucking respect Don’t ever write to me Regards the ghost you’ll never see THE MISTAKES WILL HAUNT YOU! The mistake will always be there to haunt you The mistakes will always be there to haunt your fucking days I’ve followed your path with my eyes so blind And I’ve taken my life back from you Can I begin to realise You’re nothing but bad news Expect, nothing more You’ve played with the best Expect, nothing more You’ve played with the best this time I’ve lost my trust in you again You’ll never see me after this my friend I’ve lost my trust in you again You’ll never see me after this my friend

Athena 03:14
I’ve heard it all a thousand times All words spoke are fucking lies You say that love is blind You say that you need time Behind the closed doors My beauty temptress Your vast collection of men made of stone Wasting away My disaster Your disease Your eyes of beauty that no one will ever see (Repeat) My dear Athena please listen to me You see it’s not as simple as it seems I tried so hard to resist her kiss but beauty held me I was so deep in abyss her eyes they haunt me daily Grieve from jealousy Such a petty thing You will never take her from me I am begging you be sincere End the serpent queen Let her be from fear Behind the closed doors My beauty temptress Your vast collection of men made of stone Wasting away My disaster Your disease Your eyes of beauty that no one will ever see (Repeat) You are the lion Unable to be tamed Athena can’t you see the jealousy through your shame You are the predator The true one to be blamed Athena can’t you see the jealousy through your rage

This is the life and the dream I am passing on to you To take it even further To carry on without looking back There might come a time When you think about this path But the time will rise Turning memories to gold We sing and we suffer But this is our home We sing and we suffer This blood runs deeper than you This time you fight and you fucking stand This world is yours and i want you to take it Stand by their side Stay strong and battle through It’s a path that’s hard But one that’s made for you For all of us For all of fucking us We’ve strived for this This is not the end You’re about to live We sing and we suffer but this is our home We sing and we suffer This blood runs deeper than you This is the life and the dream I am passing on to you To take it even further To carry on without looking back There might come a time When you think about this path But the time will rise Turning memories to gold

Tempest 03:54
When I hear you call my name I know that life will never ever be the same IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME Your ship has sailed my friend Lost to the ocean bed I’d swim to the worlds end to have you back Patience is all we ever need It’s time that fuels our destiny We’ve been too far and can’t turn back My mind is slipping through the cracks It’s the mind that sets us astray Only time will help to take it all away Your heart may never beat again But the thought of you shall forever remain You’ll sink, we’ll swim tonight! The life I desire That life I admire My mind can’t sink no more My vessels sunk to the ocean floor We are the light You’ll sink, we’ll swim forever We need to lead ourselves From the sunken ships to the seas that can Take us from this swell (Repeat) You’ll sink We’ll swim Forever When the tide comes I can not sink When the tide comes I can not sink You’ll sink We’ll swim Forever We need to lead ourselves From the sunken ships to the seas that can Take us from this swell (Repeat) When I hear you call my name I know that life will never ever be the same IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME Your ship has sailed my friend Lost to the ocean bed I’d swim to the worlds end to have you back again

Punisher 05:27
Dealt out by the tricksters hand The card he drew was always planned He knows there’s no bargaining for me He needs my pride to meet his greed His thought is “Take everything from me” To fulfil his sin of gluttony There’s nowhere ever to escape This dealers envy will make me fucking break Your desire to consume more than one requires Your lust is dwelling in the lies you preach You sing your song and expect our praise But every melody you raise is just another lie You play your cards and lay them in place The poker face that you forever hide from them Hide the fact you can’t.. Set aside your own ideas Seven sins the life you live Burdens hidden down within Seven sins the life you live (Repeat) Burn all the cards you play Save every word you have to say (Repeat) The pride of man slowly dwindles and hangs by a strand This is the end The cards he dealt we may never amend You are the true cause of our demise When we look for guidance we reach to the skies You never held your hands out for us You take your cards and just leave them to rust Burn all the cards you play Save every word you have to say Never took the time We’ve been playing blind Given in to greed that’s not what our life means Re-asses yourself Take a higher stand tell the dealer You are no longer played by his hand WE ARE THE SINS THE PRIDE OF MAN WE ARE THE SINS
