The Devil's Highway

Hey! We've got to keep it down
The dust has just settled
But I think I hear them up above
They're almost in a frenzy
And I never wanted this
To flee for my freedom
But needs must when the devil drives us, yeah!
Hey! They’re fixing their gaze upon
I know they've cast suspicions
But the fog may just mask our trail
As we try to keep on moving
And I never wanted this
To flee for my freedom
In this land of fascist strangers
Cock-eyed and dangerous
We’ve go to keep on moving
Keep on moving!
Hey! We’ve got to move along
The day has reached its closing
Well, the dogs are furious
And I hear them getting closer!

Ill Omens

I feel the pressure rising, bursting at the seams
The way that things are looking, it's like an awful dream
and I feel the weight upon me
The clouds have gathered closer, there's lighting in the air
Each time I think I'm moving, I just stop and stare
and I feel like something's coming
Is there something on the horizon?
A portent warning me away
A bloody moon is slowly rising
Vultures have grown their numbers, there's a fever in their eyes
It can't be long until they plummet from the skies
and I feel like someone's coming
Is there something on the horizon?
A portent warning me away
A bloody moon is slowly rising
What does it mean?

The Beast
05:06
|

The beast rode in, dressed all in white
Covering his marks from our eyes
And even when we all, were made wise
We couldn't stop the spark of our demise
And armageddon comes from across the sea
We drank the venom, choose our path stubbornly
A slashing pen, opened our wrists
Our rights went falling, so fast and swift
The world was raped, during a tryst
Now what is left, cannot exist
And armageddon comes from across the sea
We drank the venom, choose our path stubbornly
Believe me when I say that it's true
We pushed pretty far now we're through
The armies amass on their lines
The horn has to sound and it's time

The Grind
06:01
|

Don’t shed a light
They’ll poach your flame
And grind you down
Till you’re one and the same
Smoke and Mirrors
Snakes in the grass
New victims for pleasure
We give them what they ask
The weak cast aside
Marched out in lines
Laid upon the ground
Feel the boot the grinds
Blood on your hands
Death in you eyes
Let the hammer fall
And they'll fall in line
Blood on your hands
Stains on your mind
It’ll come back to you
All in good time
Paint them as strange
Cast them as liars
Those upon the ground
Feel the boot!
The weak cast aside
Marched out in lines
Laid upon the ground
Feel the boot

Onslaught
06:24
|

Out of the depths came the army of demons
Why they proceeded nobody could know
They tore off the limbs, left us bloody and screaming
None were left willing and able to go
I need to know, how to show, what I know
I need to know, how to show, what I know
Out of the depths came the army of heathens
But how we defeated the wicked and slow
They struck at our lives, our values, our freedom
Only the righteous are left now to know
I need to know, how to show, what I know
I need to know

The Longest Night
05:12
|
|||
I hope I see the sun, shining through the haze
Never thought it'd come, it's been gone for days
The dust has covered up, our lives, our ways
At least it's settled down, and left us blank, and gray
I'm unarmed, and I feel it creeping in
I'm alone, as the world comes crashing in
A foot has left a mark, and it's broke the illusion
There’s something in the dark, that’s made it through the confusion
I'm unarmed, and I feel it creeping in
I'm alone, as the world comes crashing in

Star Gone Dim
03:46
|

I was there when your star went dim
Light vanishing, diminishing
We thought the worst, we did lament
Uncannily, you rose again
I thought my eyes must be deceived
This cannot be what's happening
And down the road your sunken form
Marched cheerfully towards the abyss
And I will see you again, just like yesterday
When our tired limbs are released from pain
