1.	Wither Away 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Ain't nothing special, you got some devils in you, but don't we all. Those toils and troubles, that seem to double on you, every time you fall. Your lies are over, you can't fake sober, why do you look so pale? Your false illusions, won't bring solutions, the weak just can't prevail. (Chorus 1) Demons calling, hear them beckoning. You're withdrawing, writhing in the pain... Wither away.... Dwell in the ruins, the scattered remnants of life, just stay high. But what you're doing, is slowly choking the light, you have inside. Feed your addiction, total submission, Just poisoning yourself. To keep from dealing, you numb your feelings, cause you can't face this hell. (Repeat Chorus 1) (Chorus 2) Hopeless praying, for some kind of escape. You're decaying, and to all our dismay... You wither away... Don't mean to sound judging, when I know you're struggling, but you need to see, things with open eyes. I've reached the conclusion, you're stuck in delusion, you'll never break free, as long as you're blind. I hear what you you're saying, but all of your praying, it won't change a thing, when you never try. So wither like cancer, while waiting for answers, you're left here with nothing, now don't be surprised. (Repeat Chorus 1) (Repeat Chorus 2) You wither away.....
2.	Numbered Days 05:28	lyrics	buy track
Times up!! Count down! Seas of sorrow… open up and swallow me. No tomorrow… as far as I could ever see. Well here it comes again, walls are closing in, air is getting thin, feel as though I’m suffocating. Now, I can barely breathe, through my anxiety, can I find the peace I’m craving? Waves of darkness… separate me from this world. Cold and heartless… I sit and watch my fears unfold. It’s doubting time again, feel it grow within, I just can’t pretend, I’ll ever escape this prison. Now, I will face my fears, through the countless years, This I swear will be my mission. (Chorus) Where do you go when you have… lost your faith? You’ve had enough and want to… fade away. Some day the rain will come and wash my fears away. ‘Till then I’ll be moving on, with numbered days slipping through my hands. I try and try to give it all I can, but I just can’t believe. Happiness slips from my hands, some things aren’t meant to be. Like the sands in the hourglass, those days just fall away. Yes the end is coming fast, I’m living numbered… days. Watch these days go… by fast. (Repeat Chorus) I’ve given all I can, there’s nothing more to give. The rest is out my hands, so I continue to fight… just to live. Yeah! These numbered days! Count down! (2X)
3.	Vampires 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Beware the sun is setting down, That's when the devils can be found. They lure you in with lies - with plans to take control. So easy to exploit the weak, Herd them together like they're sheep, Vying to take your life - Forever steal your soul. Deep in the shadows they're stalking their prey. One bite to the neck and mortality slips away. Surrender to the need, The blood lust is the thing that you... feed. Blinded and wandering in the mist, Misled into this dark abyss, They seek to satisfy – their twisted one desire. The overwhelming urge - to placate the hunger. The stench of death, permeates the air (Chorus) RUN… from shadows of the night. RUN… lest your life expire. RUN… to escape the deadly plight Of blood sucking vampires. Heed the words that I said, Lest you want to become the undead. You best hide for your life, And just praying that you see morning light. As death draws near. (Repeat Chorus)
4.	Warning Signs 03:56	lyrics	buy track
You came to drag them down, Walls built for my protection. Destin to let me down, But, still I let you in and, Now, I can't forget, The lies you sold to me, And I, live with regret, I feel to this day. First you drew me in. (Pre Chorus)The nauseating stab, Still haunted by your memory. I cant escape this past, Of misery. I should have never let you in, beyond these walls. I opened up to you and then, you broke it all. I'll never trust in you again, the line has been drawn. I cant believe, I ever trusted. And now, I've been deceived, By the one I gave my love to. My heart ripped out of me, Treated like nothing. Your love, like a disease. I wish that, I never met you, I try to forget you, But, still I am damaged, Forever I'm scarred. (Chorus) I cant believe I was so blind. Ignoring all the warning signs. You drew me in. Then you shed your skin. (Repeat Pre Chorus) (Repeat Chorus)
5.	Silver Tongue 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Have you heard the story of the king? That ran his mouth and destroyed everything. Completely full of arrogance and wine. That he revealed himself to open eyes. (Pre-Chorus 1) The glory he once held has turned to dust. And everything that shined just corrodes to rust. He can't relive those days, so they just fade away, and bitterness has settled in. Have you met the king who broke his crown? He chose to play the fool and let us down. (Pre-Chorus 2) As his ego grew, he lost control. So full of pride that he stained his soul. In the end he realized, that he defiled his life, but it was far too late, so now... (Chorus 1) He falls, on his knees he'll crawl, cause his world has come undone. (Chorus 2) Fake and vile, with a crooked smile, time to sever the silver tongue….. FOREVER… Heavy is the crown. So, its time to take him down. (Bridge) I have seen a desperate man, who doesn't seem to understand, he's his own worst enemy. All the shady seeds he's sewn, will surely leave him all alone, for all eternity. Eternity…. (Pre-Chorus 3) Now his failures haunt him in his sleep. But, without change the cycle repeats. And, if he never learns, those bridges that he burns, he'll never build them back, until... (Repeat Chorus 1) (Chorus 3) He'll live in hell, or humble himself, and just silence the silver tongue… FOREVER…
6.	Tyrant's Throne 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Blood spills from mouths of the martyrs, silence or live in fear. Stripped down, drawn and quartered, there is no… justice here. Hatred, breed with precision, a new division plan. Cutting a fatal incision, yet they still… (Pre Chorus) Slit your wrist. Stack your bones. When tyrants sit, upon the throne. Force-fed a socialist rhetoric, democracy is gone. Regimes built by the heretics, and the fault’s… all your own. Trading, your souls for charity, true desperation’s grown. No way out of hypocrisy, yet they still… (Repeat Pre Chorus) (Chorus 1) I watch you… ALL… bow to anything, like puppets on a string, how’s it feel to know you’ve lost control? FALL… down upon your knees, a nation of sheep, lay your disgrace upon a tyrant’s throne. (Chorus 2) Overthrow… these worthless… self righteous… failed kings. Will we wake from the nightmare?, lost dreams of true freedom. Empty, the people’s blank stare, yet they still… (Repeat Pre Chorus) I lost my patience… and realized. These revelations… before my eyes. A vile existence… for all the blind. Become resistance… or choose to die. (Repeat Chorus 1 [2X] (Repeat Chorus 2)
7.	Branded For Exile 05:09	lyrics	buy track
We are the faceless, shunned by society. Gifted and hated, ‘cause they’re too blind to see. Annihilate the walls surrounding us, obliterate them all to mounds of dust. Try to shut us out but we wont go, down without a fight. (Pre Chorus) There’s strength in numbers that’s for real. And if you feel like I feel. Put your fist in the air, and scream it with me… We… Won’t… Go… No! So, we are the nameless, immune to their disease. Twisted and wasted, bound by integrity. Destroying everything that in our way, embracing this life of anarchy. Try to shut us down but we will stand, here prepared to fight. (Repeat Pre Chorus) (Chorus) I’m alive, I am free, don’t need you condemning me. I’m just playing the cards I’ve handed. I’m awake, I am strong, I will never walk alone. I’m just living a life being branded… branded for exile. We… Won’t… Go!!! We won’t go!!! We stand together… or we’re doomed to fail. Now and forever… and we will prevail. We… Won’t… Go… No… (Repeat Chorus) Exile!!!
8.	Born In The Flames 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Stare at the sun, just for fun, it will blind me. The scars that I wear, are just there to remind me. I have been known to be driven by anger. So, just shut your mouth or your life is in danger…now (Chorus 1) I was born in the flames... Ain't got no time for playing games. You will remember my name, born in the flame. Can't you see I've had enough….I've had enough. Poison the well, just to sell your position. Living in hell, I can tell you what's missing. You lack the drive that is takes to move forward. But, I have the power to break and destroy you…all. (Repeat Chorus 1) (Chorus 2) My resolve is unwavering, there's no need to quell my drive. I will prove what I am saying, just walk away and let me rise. I've had enough….best believe it. I've had enough…. "I'm gonna take this match, and set the world on fire.." New life, new name, Just open your eyes there ain't a damn thing changed. This fight's, the same, I'm torchin' the skies while you're cursing my name. My pride, my pain, Gives me the strength for the things I must change. Inside, the flames, Burning a path through the dark that remains. (Repeat Chorus 2) (Chorus 3) Your misdoubt will not faze me, I won't let you effect my life. You may chose to just hate me, but in the fire - I AM ALIVE!!! WE ARE ALIVE!!!
