1. Childhood's End

While I can't hold your hand son, I will have your back.

If a mountain stood in the way of my father
The mountain would move aside
A feat that wasn't passed down to me

A boy with a crown
An ill-fitting one
People post-breakdown
How their souls have been tested
In these times everyone
Is both judge and jury
And you still live in cages
Just with longer chains

New world disorder, that's how we exist
New world disorder, we can't resist

Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside
Minds, they forget
But the scars remember everything
No matter how much I've tried
You will reject
My attempts to be your rightful king
Your king

And I seem to make enemies
Faster than I make friends
I can't really find the remedy
Do we get the life that we deserve?

New world disorder, that's how we exist
New world disorder, we can't resist

Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside
Minds, they forget
But the scars remember everything
No matter how much I've tried
You will reject
My attempts to be your king

Childhood's end
A sudden end

I tried to burn away my fear and anger
And how I prayed it would hurt no longer
Imagine a king who fights his own battles

I prefer my demons stirred not shaken
You can drown your pain but it will learn to swim
Some people treat life like a disease
And I am one of them, I am one of them

All the fear that I have inside

Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside
Minds, they forget
But the scars remember everything
No matter how much I've tried
You will reject
My attempts to be your rightful king
Your king

2. Never Yield

Conquest, war, famine, and death
These are the forces that still draw breath
The ride was long and hard
All that remains are we, the vanguard
White, red, black, and pale
That's what you'll see, that's how we hail
And the last part is ours to play
Now run and hide, it's judgment day

Never yield to the obvious and overwhelming
Might of the enemy that you're facing
Invite the doubt into your heart
And use it to level your Goliaths
Never yield

Come and see with your own eyes
How they ride across the skies

When giants enter your life you feel small
But the bigger they are the harder they fall
And as they stand in your way
Find your inner David and have them slayed

Too big to fight
Or too big to miss?
Too big to fight
Or just too big to miss?

Never yield to the obvious and overwhelming
Might of the enemy that you're facing
Invite the doubt into your heart
And use it to level your Goliaths
Never yield

Come and see with your own eyes
How they ride across the skies
Come and see with your own eyes
The Harbingers of the Last Judgment

3. War Of Oceans

We put our trust in the future and in its technology
Radioactive waste and other problems yet unsolved by man

What if our future selves are refugees on the run
Scavenging for food, chasing shelter to hide from the sun

Control your fate
Before it's too late

The war of oceans rages on but not for long
And once we're gone the waters won't miss our kind

Coming generations
They'll have enough of their own problems
It's na?ve to think they'll
Also solve the ones selfishly handed down by us

Why can't we stop ourselves
From polluting the water on which we depend
Wallace Hartley will play with his men
While we sink towards our bitter end

Nearer, my God, to Thee
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes I hear it

The war of oceans rages on but not for long
And once we're gone the waters won't miss our kind
Two hundred years of abuse, too late for truce
And whoever wins, we will lose

Nearer, my God, to Thee
That's what they'll sing
Can't you hear?
Oh, yes we all hear it

For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it
For the seven oceans
For mankind
If it's war that it takes
We are ready to wage it

The war of oceans rages on but not for long
And once we're gone the waters won't miss our kind
Two hundred years of abuse, too late for truce
And whoever wins, we will lose

We will lose
The war of oceans
And once we're gone
From this world
Once we're gone the water's will not miss our kind

4. Breach

Don't push someone that cares
A person you trust
Into not caring at all anymore

And don't you try to repair that which you can't restore
It's hard to patch that hole in your broken soul

When corrosion finally stains the bond
Everything seems to widen the breach

And you keep pinging everything in your path
I twist and turn during the bloodbath
But your imperfections are what makes you perfect

Never allow your dreams and goals
To only end up deep inside your heart
And there's a world out there waiting for you and me
It's all right there, at hand, within our reach
If we can mend the breach

When the wrong train arrives at the right station
And you get more than you bargained for
Don't let the worms eat your heart away
Steel your resolve and seize the day

And you keep pinging everything in your path
Your path

Never allow your dreams and goals
To only end up deep inside your heart
And there's a world out there waiting for you and me
It's all right there, at hand, within our reach
If we can mend the breach

And when you feel Atlas has lost his grip of the world
Let us try to hold it up together as long as we can

And when it feels like we're swimming in concrete you and me
Let us agree there will be two beautiful sculptures for all to see

Never allow your dreams and goals
To only end up deep inside your heart
And there's a world out there waiting for you and me
It's all right there, at hand, within our reach
If we can mend the breach

5. Where Love Comes To Die

Answers seem to change but the question stays the same
Did we grow together or as a deadly tumor
Bound to burst all over our long and winding story

No lighthouse in sight
And these are troubled waters
Strong currents, unseen rocks

When your love is deep
It will hurt the most
And it's in that depth that all the horrors dwell
They never sleep
No matter how much you cry
It's always down here where love comes to die

Our story was like the trials of Eurydice and Orpheus
But at times it looked more like the betrayal of Jason and Medea
There's never just a single battle in a long and weathered war
Some you win
And some you lose

Too late to pray
On judgment day
Just full bleed ahead
Through this heartbreak hurricane

When your love is deep
It will hurt the most
And it's in that depth that all the horrors dwell
They never sleep
No matter how much you cry
It's always down here where love comes to die

Time is the cruelest hangman of them all
And he gives no quarter
During our downfall
Tie the rope tight
So it will never sever
There's hope to be found in this world
For the hopeful of us
And for all the lovers that still fight

When your love is deep
It will hurt the most
And it's in that depth that all the horrors dwell
Love does not come cheap
Sow what you want to reap
Don't tear trust down
And you might never drown

6. Crown Prince Syndrome

And when I look in the mirror it's not myself
Staring back with those judging eyes
It's an image of the past king himself
Taunting me from the skies

Power, it cannot be destroyed
It can only be transferred
The crux of a kingborn
To bear the lowborn's scorn

I paid my dues
And had the city rebuilt
I walked among the people
With my heart flooded by guilt

The crown, it cannot be destroyed
It can only be transferred
The crux of the lowborn
To dismiss the highborn they mourn

There is nothing worse for a lying soul
Than the mirror of reality
What's broken can be whole
But you still see cracks in the reflection
And it's your own curse, a heavy toll
Don't let it spoil your sanity
You might fill the hole in your soul
But it still has an infection

Not every father gets a chance to
Start his son off in his own footsteps
I'm a far cry from him
A charlatan, unworthy of his blood

There is nothing worse for a lying soul
Than the mirror of reality
What's broken can be whole
But you still see cracks in the reflection
And it's your own curse, a heavy toll
Don't let it spoil your sanity
You might fill the hole in your soul
But it still has an infection

Not every father gets a chance to
Start his son off in his own footsteps
I'm a far cry from him
A charlatan, unworthy of his blood

7. Fate's Hand

The lands of Hestonia
Are burdened by dreams, madness, and rage
The Church of Progression will stop at nothing
To quell the heretical art

A first agent of the church
Both feared and revered
And you will know his name
He is

Fate's Hand
At the end of all
Fate's Hand
Will find the truth
The Cog and Eye leads the way
Fate's Hand
He knows the call
Fate's Hand
Ordained since his youth
No heresy will escape his path

Everything changed in the lair of
The Thirteen and with that Anshada page
But sanctity of doctrine must be maintained
The Infinite Machine demands it

An age of demons we'll avoid
If the tome is destroyed
And you will know his name
He is

Fate's Hand
At the end of all
Fate's Hand
Will find the truth
The Cog and Eye leads the way
Fate's Hand
He knows the call
Fate's Hand
Ordained since his youth
No heresy will escape his path

The Infinite Machine senses all of his wrath
Magic must die to logic and math

Behind her red sash
Eyes within eyes within eyes
By article seven of the doctrine her life is forfeit

May the One God of the Infinite Machine guide us on
May the One God of the Infinite Machine guide us on

Akas, Feyr, and Varsil fear my fury
The Prima Heretica will burn by the wrath of

Fate's Hand
At the end of all
Fate's Hand
Will find the truth
The Cog and Eye leads the way
Fate's Hand
He knows the call
Fate's Hand
Ordained since his youth
No heresy will escape his path

Fate's Hand

8. Stand Alone Complex

Enemies from within
Enemies from without
Hostage to her sweet grin
Everything now in doubt

This forbidden love
Will break him even further
He might be the King
But she's the reason the world still sings

And I reach

I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell
I will deny the pain but I know that you can tell
This was not meant to be

You are indeed bound
But not per your ambition
Now aid this special girl
And you will save the world

Horrors from our past
Awaken at long last
Hellbent on their final order
To find and end her

I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell
I will deny the pain but I know that you can tell
This was not meant to be

This was not meant to be
But I'll be by your side
And I'll monitor your heart
Just to make sure it won't stop beating

This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain
This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain

I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell (Straight for hell)
I will deny the pain but I know you can tell (Tell)
I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell
I will deny the pain but I know that you can tell
This was not meant to be

This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain
This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain

9. Lance Of Longinus

Time, it seems to run slow
But here it doesn't run at all
The light, the dark
The day and night
I understood it all
Caught between the tick and tock
That's where we end up
When we fall

But I was not allowed to rest
There was a grander plan
Forged by the creatures of the clouds

You still have a part to play

Spear of destiny, feel my pain
When the day murders the night
In this change of heart

Enter Royalgatory
This is where you live out your life
And the Seraphim they rejoiced
As much as they feared

All shall love me
All shall fear me
And all shall exist because of me

Spear of destiny, feel my pain
When the day murders the night
In this change of heart
Spear of destiny, here I'll remain
And carry the weight of this world
With my heart in chains

Naked, I stood before them all
And I felt my wings grow
Oh, how this wounded their pride deeply
And I heard all the angels sing
In golden armor and silk I moved
Towards the heavenly throne
King of Angels and all of heaven
I'm the heart of the world

Spear of destiny, feel my pain
When the day murders the night
In this change of heart
Spear of destiny, here I'll remain
And carry the weight of this world
With my heart in chains

10. Seth

Every now and then I see them
(The) footsteps I'm supposed to walk
But the shadow falls dense around me
I'm just a candle to a roaring bonfire

Father, your ultimate sacrifice
Gave me safe passage back to the world
Now I'm stranded in this fool's paradise
(And) there's no cure for a shattered soul

People, I beg you
I am on my knees
I can't stand this
It's killing me

Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
No, nothing of you in return

Mother, you laid all the hate on me
You both had a taste for saving the world
A mammoth undertaking
Was placed upon me

People, understand
I don't want the throne

Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
No, nothing of you in return

I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself

You have to silence the fear you have in your heart
Always do more than what's required of you

Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
No, nothing of you in return

People, I beg you...

11. Gaia

Some fractured memories reside
In Thule, lost corners of my mind
(But) my brain can't handle the divide
So I simply left it all behind

I turned to guns and rage
To protect what I've become
Spent hard time in a cage
Madness was the only outcome

Don't break from the line
Don't delay your enemy
When he's making a mistake
Just allow me to dispense some death for you

This is not living, this is surviving
I will find you
And as long as I am free, you'll never be
(A) futile pursuit
You are reckless with my soul and conniving
Completely run through
As it's not your responsibility

I lost control behind the bars
And I don't ever want it back
It's crucial to the world of ours
That my defense is to attack

There's no safe place for me
To die peacefully

Don't break from the line
Don't delay your enemy
When he's making a mistake

This is not living, this is surviving
I will find you
And as long as I am free, you'll never be
(A) futile pursuit
You are reckless with my soul and conniving
Completely run through
As it's not your responsibility

Fire didn't temper
It hardened me
A heart of ice
Set on your demise
I learnt of my power
That could devour (us all)

Don't break from the line
Don't delay your enemy
When he's making a mistake
Just allow me to dispense some death for you

This is not living, this is surviving
I will find you
And as long as I am free, you'll never be
(A) futile pursuit
You are reckless with my soul and conniving
Completely run through
As it's not your responsibility

12. Jailbreak

оригинал: Sonic Syndicate

You are the reason why I despise the world
But still you're the only reason why I'm still in it
Time never healed my wounds
It just made them more infected
They talk about their heartache
But I got a fucking heart-attack

I can't reach my mind
I can't reach my heart
Why can't I leave you behind
Never have a choice
Never feel rejoice
I damn my inner voice

AND WHEN TWO RIVERS RUN TOGETHER THEY CAN NEVER BE DISTINCT AGAIN
LOCKED IN A DREAM TO FILTER OUT YOUR POLLUTED STREAM
AND WHEN TWO RIVERS RUN TOGETHER THEY CAN NEVER BE DISTINCT AGAIN
LOCKED IN A DREAM TO FILTER OUT YOUR POLLUTED STREAM

Every time I talk with you, I never have a choice
Every time I try to sew my wounds, you stretch them wide open
Time never washed my brain
It just made it more infested
I will break out of this mind prison, I will break out!

13. Denied

оригинал: Sonic Syndicate

There is nothing left for me
There is nothing left for you
There is nothing left at all
A wasteland of my mind
Don't think you ever will see
Don't think you ever will know
How much I actually cared
About everything we shared
Why the fuck did you lie then?
Why in hell did you bring me down?
Don't you realize?
No one gets out of this place alive Hasn't bin screaming all these years
Just to see the world crashing around me
Maybe this life is overrated
But I won't let the world burn around me

A SITUATION LIKE THIS SHOULD NEVER EXIST
THEN WHY ARE WE OUT OF CONTROL
I SEE SMOKE FROM THE EDEN FIRE
WATCH IT GOING HIGHER AND HIGHER

You pulled me up from the dream
Let's compare scars you and I
You are always on my mind
I will never leave you behind
You broke my engagement to
Solitude, and made me threw away
The ring of retaliation

14. Jack Of Diamonds

оригинал: Sonic Syndicate

A fugitive from unreality
No sign of my god damned serenity
Lost in these barren lands
That have nothing I demand
Had to look for something new
And that day I found you
I found you
I found you

Living in a house of cards
Waiting for it all to fall
Hope for the best plan for the worst
That's what my life is all about

Living in a house of cards
Waiting for it all to fall
Hope for the best plan for the worst
That's what my life is all about

A qvasar from reality
With damaged mentality
I'll start editing your life
Replace the captain of your brain ship
Before we set sail for the fail

Living in a house of cards
Waiting for it all to fall
Hope for the best plan for the worst
That's what my life is all about

Living in a house of cards
Waiting for it all to fall
Hope for the best plan for the worst
That's what my life is all about

My destiny outruns me
And I can't find that key
To lock up everything that's bad inside of me
Don't you disagree
That your life would be so much better
Without me, that isn't hard to see
hard to see

Living in a house of cards
Waiting for it all to fall
Hope for the best plan for the worst
That's what my life is all about

Living in a house of cards
Waiting for it all to fall
Hope for the best plan for the worst
That's what my life is all about

Waiting for it all to fall
Hope for the best plan for the worst
That's what my life is all about
