1.	Empire 03:42	lyrics	buy track
It was of the cold nights better spent alone It was of the silent shores we never strode upon Tyrannical deception crystalline Implanted devastation part of the machine And there, I beheld it rising from the sea... Empire - all that is left for me Empire - all that shall ever be Desire - to see it all burn Empire - now I will return And when the night awoke these hopes To penetrate the skin of dreams The spectral harvest in the end No triumph of thy will To parlay with the innocent and orchestrate demise Intoxicated vision of the truth we shall despise The silent wait is over now is time to set the fire To devastate and rise beyond the shattered... Empire - all that is left for me Empire - all that shall ever be Desire - to see it all burn Empire - now I will return Now I will return And so the story goes until the end is in sight And so this alchemy derives the darkness from its light
2.	Satellite 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Sing me, oh muse of shattered dreams and broken lives The songs of hate and discontent, the words of vice I can see it clearly now, from high above I hear the call of solar winds Sing me of vengeance and despair, of forlorn hope Beguiling falsehood and contempt of the world below And the scores are etched into the metal skin A wordless cry from a satellite Where do we go, we just don’t know And the wind is blowing away (it’s time to…) Where do we go we may never solve Nothing left to say (it’s time to go) Sing songs to screaming demons who will not hear Confessions of dead vigor and living fear And it is all gone, only the ashes remain One hundred miles above the Earth Where do we go, we just don’t know And the wind is blowing away (it’s time to…) Where do we go we may never solve Nothing left to say (it’s time to go)
3.	Until the Sirens Call 05:02	lyrics	buy track
Trace of beauty, angel cry Sown in texture of a lie Scan the waves for a hint of blood Hide true face before attack Like an anchor in the heart of storms Like a promise to belong Desperation, dark intent Bleed the truth to soul’s contempt False deliverance, all hope lost Left in tatters on the rocks And you wait until the sirens call Chasing dreams to end them all I will scream in silence termination only prize Everything I am will only hasten my demise Beyond the promises of grace, never-ending crawl Until the storm devours the sails and the sirens call And you wait until the sirens call Chasing dreams to end them all I will scream in silence termination only prize Everything I am will only hasten my demise Beyond the promises of grace, never-ending crawl Until the storm devours the sails and the sirens call Hoped to be the one to sail beyond the angry night To navigate the currents and set the damage right Too proud to leave the helm or to accept my fall I shout defiance to the wind until the sirens call
4.	As the Phoenix Falls 03:26	lyrics	buy track
These are the thoughts I bear These are the warnings from within A sacrifice to malicious love A slip of a twisted tongue Bred to kill the messenger I stare into the sun Another state of altered mind A paradox of flesh and word The sky pulsates with indecisions Let the false angels descend Bound to the absolute I claim the kill As the phoenix falls As the phoenix falls into the fire As the phoenix falls And I turn away And if it only happened once Like dying embers of a fantasy The core of night splinters A revelation unwelcome In a smoke-filled room where the stars turn to ash In a cold light of morning there is no rebirth As the phoenix falls As the phoenix falls into the fire As the phoenix falls And I turn away As the phoenix falls As the phoenix falls into the fire As the phoenix falls It ends
5.	Winter Assault 05:46	lyrics	buy track
Iron tempest came to seal frigid winter’s reign Stone-cold earth and stone-cold hearts guarding steel’s domain This is trial, time of judgment for the crooked cross We will stop invaders with overwhelming force Dead, frozen, ascendant Vengeance for the fallen Winter assault, desperate battles upon the blood-stained snow Winter assault, as above, so below Winter assault, a final prayer to a distant god Winter assault, Stalingrad Dead, frozen, ascendant Vengeance for the motherland Guns and rockets, tanks and blades, into the mouth of hell We will fight them in the fields and burned-out building shells There’s no land behind the Volga and there are no steps back In the dead of winter we ready the attack Winter assault, desperate battles upon the blood-stained snow Winter assault, as above, so below Winter assault, a final prayer to a distant god Winter assault, Stalingrad Winter, winter assault (repeat) Winter assault, desperate battles upon the blood-stained snow Winter assault, as above, so below Winter assault, a final prayer to a distant god Winter assault, Stalingrad
6.	Absolute Zero Heart 05:18	lyrics	buy track
To recognize the failing flesh The serum dripping from thine wounds To escape the vision celestial And turn towards the colder suns Every step an equinox Of fate in tidal lock Absolute zero heart grows colder again To recognize the fear and take away the pain Absolute zero heart dissolving in vain These words of hate and love are footsteps, footsteps in the rain There is no man in the tower Only fear at the end of the world The clouds part to reveal thine punishment To find a cure in alchemy divine Embracing nightfall of new day Five suns coalesce into the spiral And I turn away Every breath a revelation Decoding the redshift Absolute zero heart grows colder again To recognize the fear and take away the pain Absolute zero heart dissolving in vain These words of hate and love are footsteps, footsteps in the rain

8.	Waves of Acheron 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Some might say in vain - no one knows the norm Bleed the tragic sky into another form Tie the astral winds in knots that tell our fate Align the autumn stars to spell eternal wait Some might speak of doom and portents it will bring Tearing crimson clouds to form imperfect ring Blurring times of sand and the sands of time When Hecate calls, who will fall in line? Coins upon your eyes, dust upon your brow Ashes in your hands speak of broken vow Waves on a sea of winds hypnotize and call Waves of Acheron now demand their toll
9.	Hellfire 04:58	lyrics	buy track
Too skeptical to fight for faith Too cynical to fight for words Perhaps just hopeful enough Or maybe an old fool Demolish stagnant paradise And live for stream of pain Recalibrating the will Whatever stranger dreams may come Walk with me - into flames eternal Live through me - with the fire in the clouds Walk with me - through the heaven burning We are free - against the odds This dissolution is transparent Wherever I may go Whoever was by my side Shall not remain in memory For nothing is left which is stronger What I was and will become Under the stranger fictions Reality is still unknown Walk with me - into flames eternal Live through me - with the fire in the clouds Walk with me - through the heaven burning We are free - against the odds And in pain we walk this earth Always here at loss for words Always stalking what we find To chimeras of the mind Strength and pain are all the same Only truths that will remain Start the fire, might as well For you I walk through hell Walk with me - into flames eternal Live through me - with the fire in the clouds Walk with me - through the heaven burning We are free - against the odds Through a thousand tongues of fire Through the things that I desire In denial if I am Never knew the master plan Never one to save the soul Never searching for it all Sane or not, the time will tell For you I walk through hell
10.	If 08:15	lyrics	buy track
Through the traces of aeons swimming by In the rivers of time, footsteps of light Through the shades of despair, awash in flames Sentinel ages stand with no names For these shallow dreams and innocent souls Beyond the horizon the second sky falls Concurrent ideals taking their leave Recovering from the questions of what if In the dark, we are the ones We are the silence waiting For the shades of distant night For the shades of distant night In the light, we are the blind The sacred thoughts forsaken In the shades of distant night In the shades of distant night What if? Burrowing roots, deep in the soil These virgin waters carry the spoils Mirrors and wonders, roses and smoke Blades of confusion running amok Signing our names in dust of the moon Counting seconds running out soon There is no doubt this is one true belief Resolving for once the question of what if In the dark, we are the ones We are the silence waiting For the shades of distant night For the shades of distant night In the light, we are the blind The sacred thoughts forsaken In the shades of distant night In the shades of distant night What if? Cyclic redemption raising the flag Sins of the sons are now coming back Beauty of industry, magic of rust No turning back until we are dust Making our promise making it right Here we shall stand on the judgement night Until the empires dissolve with their grief And we shall not ask the questions of what if In the dark, we are the ones We are the silence waiting For the shades of distant night For the shades of distant night In the light, we are the blind The sacred thoughts forsaken In the shades of distant night In the shades of distant night What if?
