From The Ashes

Even if a Samurai's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should still be able to perform one more action with certainty. If one becomes like a revengeful ghost, and shows great determination, though his head is cut off, he should not die.

Odyssey

Blinded eyes, tarnished soul
Hate breaks forth, fear grips hold
Bathed in a river of regret
Sins of past you can't forget
It's time to crawl with the dead
Your demons call
It's time to crawl with the dead
Blackened soul
Crossing through planes of death
Watch as they are torn asunder
Leave the life which you once led
They all cry till they're no more
Here it comes again
Washed away with the rain
Will gives in, I'm losing vision
Was this life just an illusion?
Arise, break free
Wake up, go forth and save yourself
Arise, break free
Wake up, escape this nightmare now
Somehow you must find a way
Somehow, bring forth the light of day
Go towards the light of day
Don't be led astray
Carry through the day
Don't be led astray
Go towards the light of day
Don't be led astray
Carry through the day
Don't be led astray

Succubus

Once upon a time I had a brother
We could take on the world together
You were I and I were you
And we were so inseparable
But all of a sudden, out of place
You shut your door right in my face
To all my pleas you were invisible
You turn to her in your desperation
You turn from it all into isolation
Pale and spineless from the crack of the whip
You can't even hold your own arguments
Look in the mirror, can't you see what you've become?
Away from your friends and your Dad and your Mom
You've dropped out of school, you've lost your job
You've lost your religion, you've lost your way
And in my anger, some words were said
But through it all, I've got no regrets
Tell Lolita I don't really give a fuck about her
If we ever meet face to face, you'd better have your facts straight
Crawl to your succubus
On your knees for your succubus
Hide with your succubus
Go and please your succubus
Come back, come back, amongst the living
This is not worth the sacrifice
You cannot simply erase
A goddamn decade of your life
I'm done with useless frustration
You'd better enjoy your isolation

Remove Yourself
04:23
|
|

I see you smile in old photographs
I read the faded words that you wrote
A roomful of trinkets and mementos
Tokens of an aborted affection
You've left this place
But you still haven't left me
I can't see you
But you're everywhere I look
Remove, remove
Remove yourself from me
Forty months of memories
You're all I've ever known
So excuse me if I'm an emotional wreck
Jumping to jealous conclusions
I'd love to forget
I want to move on
What do I have to do?
Too much for too long
Remove, remove
Remove yourself from me
You're not a lover
You're not a friend
You're just a pain
In the back of my head
Remove, remove
Remove yourself from me
I see you smile in new photographs
The smile I've seen a thousand times
It brought me back from the edge
But the smile is not for me
No, the smile is not for me

End Of Days
08:21

A million miles away
Far beyond the reaches of the stars
We have found no heaven
Only broken dreams and broken hearts
We have seen the signs
Of it's eternal sleep become disrupt
We are not prepared
To face the final judgement of this Earth
It has given us the tools
To be free of space and time
It does not require pride
Or even great religious crime
We can feed the mouth of Hell
Devote your body, mind, and soul
Burn the heretics
On crosses made of holy men and bones
Can you change
Towards the end of days?
Beams of light fall from a broken sky
The ground will open to swallow you whole
Feel the fire from the depths of Hell
Will we ever find a way to survive?
You can't run or hide
The end of the line
Can a soul be saved
In an unmarked grave?
Dying embers waning
Suffocating light
Silent waves are crashing
Under broken skies
Can you change your wicked ways?
Are you prepared for the end of days?

Phoenix
05:46

Now they send you off
There's now time for thought
You must soon partake
In the trials of war
Sin and vengeance, we pray
And your duty is clear
With your eyes of blood
You must plague them with fear
Rise from the depths, behold the Phoenix
The Phoenix rises forth
Rise from the ashes, you are the Phoenix
The Phoenix rises
Look what your hands have wrought
Plague and death distraught
You're the breaker of peace
Whom the leaders have sought
Rise from the grave, immortal Phoenix
The Phoenix never dies
Rise from the depths, rise from the ashes
Dealer of death, dealer of madness
You're an army of one
Who is hunted by all
Slayer's bloodletting feast
All the kingdoms shall fall
Rise from the depths, behold the Phoenix
The Phoenix rises forth
Rise from the ashes, you are the Phoenix
The Phoenix rises
Rise from the grave, immortal Phoenix
The Phoenix never dies
Rise up from battle, immortal Phoenix
A devastating force
Rise from the depths, rise from the ashes
Rise, rise, rise
The Phoenix never dies
Rise, rise
