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 03:44
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

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

The Storm 02:36
9.
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
