The Glorious Deathmarch
Blinded by ambition
Bound by forces still unknown
Warriors of the great divide
Westward bound, into battle ride
Through the pass the siege begins
For only he who dares can win
To the water's edge they march, and hear the coastal crash
Preparing for the inevitable clash
Doomed to walk through wrath, flame and shadow
And fly on the sad wings of destiny
In the heart of blackest night, struggle to see the light
And rise against the iron grip of tyranny
Oh yeah, against all odds THE DEATHMARCH CRUSHES ON
In the Age of Avarice
A story as old as time, the smell of wealth propels your climb
Stepping on necks and backs all along the way
A crooked rise to a corrupted seat, power and money is what you seek
"Come with me", you say, "and I will set you free"
All hail the exalted one
With a serpent's tongue and a loaded gun
Crescent and cross, to me it's all the same
The crusade of the ignorant man, it's all really just a game
I am the man of the suited cloth, with a million dollar smile and a perfect business style
"Give yourself to me", you say, "and I will set you free"
All hail the exalted one
With a serpent's tongue and a loaded gun
when the smoke has cleared it's easy to see
The only one left standing will be me
This is life IN THE AGE OF AVARICE
Many made to suffer for the benefit of the few
As the rich get richer the rest are left to die
Such is the mission of the nation of the all-seeing eye
Cascading Horizons of Black
Lost on a godforsaken road where few men would dare to tread
Lie the generation of souls stripped and left for dead
And so the battle rages on, no love lost for the weary one
All hope is lost, what's done is done
Irradiant light is all I see
There's no turning back, horizons of ever-cascading black
The silver storm has come for me
There's no turning back, horizons of ever-cascading black
Failed by the ones who gained the trust
Turned their back and now we must
Soldier on into the murky dust
All along this dismal way, alliances sadly fade away
Disappear into the gray
Fear no man, myth or beast
Frozen tears hit the ground, as the sun rises in the east
We have come here to meet our fate
As the death winds blow, the embers of the funeral fires glow
Fucked Up Tonight
A Tuesday afternoon and I'm gettin the feelin'
Been working hard all day and it's quittin' time
I'm callin' up the boys cause it's time to make some fuckin' noise
'Cause times is tough and they're only gettin' tougher
So give me salvation in a bottle
Gonna get my drink on, gotta do this thing up right
Head to the liquor store, and soon I'll be hittin' the floor
But that don't mean my night's even close to over
'Cause I'm gettin' FUCKED UP TONIGHT
I'm going down to see some city lights
Try to get one more, before they throw me out the door
But please don't send me home before I've had my fill
It's Old Crow time again, you know it always wins
Hangin' out at home, no reason to roam
Sippin on some wine, get to feelin' fine
Moving on to whiskey it starts to get risky
When I hear a knock at the door
All hell breaks loose and shakes me to the core
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
And let's start the party
Everyone's invited...let's get it on!!!
The man's coming after me
So wasted I can barely see
Only had one thing to say when he asked my name....
The Faithful Departed
What have you done, my friend?
The brother to the many who followed you to the end
Who could've known that the last time I said good-bye
It'd be forever, the final meeting for you and I
The words that echo through my head
A childhood dream that I once thougfht was dead
A distant memory of many sleepless nights
Fades away in the dimming winter's light
So we say good-bye to THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED
Never to meet again
We'll never get to finish what we started
Good-bye to the faithful departed
You told us all to go on with the show
"Don't cry for me, don't you cry for me!"
And the flame that once burned inside your soul
Will always glow in loving memory
The Final Stand
Hardened by these bloody wars
The trail has now led to the bitter end
Blood red clouds blot out the sky
Fallen brothers scattered at our side
The silver storm approaches
Bullets and blades flash in the morning light
Crimson stains the crusted snow
The hatred burns inside
With our backs to the wall
We watch as the hammer of eternity falls
The events that have led us to this point
Will not produce a new holy king to annoint
Vitriol for the opposition
One decisive showdown to prove the heart
Burning frustration lasting so long
Forgotten sons who sing their own funeral song
And now the time has come
To prove beyond all doubt
The oaken walls will fall and the world will know
That with this, our FINAL STAND
We will walk in the great hallowed hall
True to hold to ourselves
The vow to fight and die
For what is right
At the shores of hell
The gates are opened forevermore
There's no two ways about what must be done
For death comes quickly for those who run
Now upon this day the truth is clear
Though the battle has been won
Truly, the war has only begun
