A New Dawn
05:46
|
|||
A flash and life is born
Humanity it rises
From the land and seas
A new life is formed
How did this begin?
And come alive?
So much belief in us
To become more in time
Can we live to make it
and reach another day
Life will not be forsaken
With the morning sun, comes a new dawn
We stand staring across the sea
And raise our arms to shield our eyes from the light
The sand falls between our fingertips
As we come into existence

Born In Fire
04:54
|
|||
In an age long ago, a plague born to kill them all
And just before the night they are pulled from the darkness
Unknown to the survivors a hand has been given
And in their time of need they are saved again
Why do they pray to this madness in a house of lies?
Must we reveal ourselves to our own creation?
In a storm they live and die, born in fire
Faith in gods unseen In structures made of stone
Hate from religion in a world that’s become torn
Inherent in everyone, a growing insanity
Can it be stopped in time before they are unborn?
A ravaged world releases toxic waste into the air
They’re creating their own demise
In a war to end all, a weapon’s being built
And just before completion they are saved again

Wings Of The Fallen
05:30
|
|||
The sky rips asunder
Invaders fill the void
A dark force of nature
With only one goal
As the violence erupts chaos is born
A war of survival
For a hundred years the battle rages
Most burn to ash, wings of the fallen
Undying violent race
Remove the angels
Born to consume
Exist only to dominate
Forged within the hall of kings
A weapon is born
A last chance to strike with all our fury
And send them all back through the void

On The Horizon
06:27
|

On the horizon, our armies standing strong
A wall of machines reflecting in the sunlight
Extinction imminent we are witness to the end
In one last battle we are lost
A calm before the storm
In these final hours of life
The last war rages on
Consuming all those left alive
Fire consumes our defective heart
Unforgiving pain somewhere deep within
A raging storm erupts, and darkness fills the sky
Unleashing our own destruction
In the storm we sacrifice ourselves
A madness to deep to fend
So much hope for us all
Now gone forever
Our time is now at an end
On the horizon, our armies stand and fall
A wall of destruction reflecting in the sunlight
Extinction imminent only one witness in the end
In the last battle we are gone

The Last Survivor
06:08
|
|||
A shadowed figure fades into view
The only living thing that’s left here alive
A ghostly form across this wasted land
Can this be the last survivor?
He pulls himself up to rest on the ridge
His eyes deceive him, how can this be real?
So much gone and lost, the earth forever changed
Nothing left for me now but anguish and pain
Sun shrouded in dust
And the Shadows seem alive
Are humans gone now?
Just a fading memory?
He makes his way across the devastation
He finds a weapon never before seen by man
Hungry and tired, eyes burn in the sun
As he pulls it from the earth, it flashes and he’s gone

The Ghosts Remain
04:59
|
|||
As the war settles
They descend below
Revealing the loss by their absence
A world once full of life
Now dormant and grey
A search for life only reveals the dead
He's holding the bones of man
A dream now lost in time
So much hope now turned to dust
No life left but the ghosts remain
This night in history
So many years ago
Through tears he stares to
A world now only broken
Isolation lies before them
No hope to carry on
In anguish their wings rip away

Edge Of The Abyss
06:41
|
|||
Surrounded by the stars, so many years that we’ve traveled
And in the dark, will we find our way home?
In the shadows of space and time, on the edge of the abyss
So many years since we’ve been at war, has our future come to this?
On and on, into madness we fall
No sense of life on this cold and empty world
Feeling hopeless as our dream fades away
Is this the end of the human race?
Are they lost forever, wings of the fallen?
In the shadows of space and time, on the edge of the abyss
So many years since we’ve been at war, now our future’s come to this
On and on, into madness we fall
No sense of life on this cold forgotten world
Feeling hopeless as our dream fades away
Is this the end of the human race?
Surrounded by the stars, so many years that we’ve traveled
And in the end, we have found our way home
