Steel Verse 1: With my fury I stand alone Enemies right by my side I can hear their laughing echoes Taunting my every stride Very little did they know There's fire burning deep inside I embraced the shadows Consumed by righteous ire No flesh bounds shall hold me back Their defeat, a fate that's sealed and signed On their fear I'll snack Reborn in steel and might Bridge: Finally it is time Wires, circuits intertwined So alive, so unreal I am now made of steel Chorus 1: Cold veins Where blood once used to flow Revenge My purpose now is taking control Metamorphosis, behold my gaze Metallic titan, reborn in fire Symphonic terror, claiming your life Verse 2: A mechanical monstrosity I am an unstoppable force No longer bound by frailty A warrior's wrath set on one goal Each foe shall crumble before me Witness my grand relentless might Merciless, unforgiving There's no escape from this fight Bridge: Finally it is time Wires, circuits intertwined So alive, so unreal I am now made of steel Chorus 2: Cold veins Where blood once used to flow Revenge My purpose now is taking control Metamorphosis, behold my gaze Metallic titan, reborn in fire Symphonic terror, claiming your life Bionic might Chaos untamed I own the night Revenge proclaimed Interlude: Bound by their animosity, fueled by their disdain, He delved into the abyss, to unleash his newfound pain Through the fires of redemption, he emerged unchained A fusion of flesh and steel, an entity deranged Chorus 2: My purpose now is taking control Metamorphosis, behold my gaze Metallic titan, reborn in fire Symphonic terror, claiming your life I'm made of steel Man made machine Without a soul There's no escape I'm made of Steel

Fire And Rain Rise! From the depths of the dark A predator ascends To dominate all Their malevolence transcends Fire! Engulfed under flames and strife Unleash and devastate Their hunger for power, a cruel vile and wretched chase Annihilation is coming Ripping apart our world Hear the cries of the fallen Or blood shall abound Chorus: Our suffering land Beginning an end Through fire and rain They claim their domain A path of destruction Obliteration Conquer or annihilate Suffering land Begin the end Fire and rain Claim their domain Path to destroy Obliterate Annihilate Gaia fears what we do here The planet quakes We should end this day Bridge: Mass invasion unfolding Our own kind is in sight Earth’s resources the target Gain or demise Suffering land Begin the end Fire and rain Claim their domain Path to destroy Obliterate Annihilate Interlude: Their weapons gleaming Tearing through the sky Usurping their domain They intent to defy Saviour, our race Saviour, our land Stripped of our dignity This war must end now If we resist will be in vain Nothing will be left behind Bridge: Annihilation is coming Ripping apart our world Hear the cries of the fallen Or blood shall abound Chorus: Our suffering land Beginning an end Through fire and rain They claim their domain A path of destruction Obliteration Conquer or annihilate Terranoid land Begin the end Fire and rain Claim their domain Path to destroy Obliterate Annihilate

The Plague Verse 1: Architects of our own demise With greed and apathy, we poison the skies Forests ablaze, oceans rising high We're destroying the world, as we're passing by Humans, we're the plague Bridge1: With greed and arrogance, we tear down with our own hand I can't believe We poison the air, the water, and soil And just to feed our endless toil Suffering Chorus: Somewhere inside us There lies a light To rid the cancer And make things right Verse 2: We've taken more than we can give Forgotten how to truly live The choice is ours, the time is now To mend the earth, to heed the vow Why are we filled with doubt? Bridge 2: Can we change? Can we feel? Or is this world forever deemed? Heal the land and sea We poisoned the air, the water, and soil And we just want more Chorus: Somewhere inside us There lies the flame Before it's too late, we'll find the way Interlude: The future calls, can we change? We're but a disgrace Living on the edge I can't believe I am part as well of this shit No way, no way Oh no, no, no, no... Bridge1: With greed and arrogance, we tear down with our own hand I can't believe We poison the air, the water, and soil And just to feed our endless toil Humans, we’re the plague Chorus: Somewhere inside us There lies a light To rid the cancer And make things right Somewhere inside us There lies the flame Before it's too late, we'll find the way We'll find the way

House Of Pain Hey! Beneath its facade souls bleed A deceitful disguise A place where innocence dies No escape from echoing despair Loud screams piercing though the night Masters of deception reveal in their game Truth is slain Deceived and betrayed Anguish reigns House of Pain brought by lies over lies Souls writhe, eternal torment their bane In the depths of the dark Can’t stand much time Can't leave once you are inside The echoes forever remain See the shadows burning bright Strangled by my twisted fucking hands By my twisted fucking hands (Lies over lies) With cold, callous eyes, I devise my macabre play Designing a symphony of torture, night and day From psychological warfare to physical scars I relish in their torment, shatters and jars Welcome to my House of Pain Where torment reigns, and souls wane I feed on their anguish I hear their screams filling the air Twisted realm Drowning in despair Mad men's dream House of Pain brought by lies over lies Souls writhe, eternal torment their bane In the depths of the dark In the halls of the House of Pain Can't leave once you are inside The echoes forever remain See the shadows burning bright Strangled by my twisted fucking hands In the halls of the house of pain The house of pain

Beyond This Life 04:08
lyrics

Beyond this life I'm a wandering spirit, in the realms so vast But I've got a tale to share, about my ethereal past I search for peace and light, in memories' embrace But when the shadows fall, I drift through time and space Got a tale untold, it's my spiritual quest In the afterlife realm, I seek eternal rest When I touch the past, memories start to hiss Lost and longing, I'm in a spectral twist Oh, no. Beyond this life, man Here we go again Now, souls, come listen close, and don't be aghast About my eternal journey, in the endless vast You see, I'm seeking answers, to questions that remain It's like trying to gather mist, or hold onto the rain I've searched for meaning, in memories that entwine It's like chasing echoes, or the end of a line I've got a story, and it's hauntingly absurd In the realm of existence, I'm a flightless bird I've tried different paths, some glowing, some gray From ancient chants to prayers, I've roamed astray But when I reach for the light, it fades from my sight I'm like a moth circling, an extinguished light I've got a journey, it's my spectral quest In the realms of the dead, I seek my final rest When memories shimmer, my soul feels a twist Lost and yearning, in an ethereal mist But I keep on searching, won't surrender to the night I believe in reunion, in the eternal light 'Cause in the end, it's not about our earthly ties It's the love that transcends, our final goodbyes I've got a journey, it's my spectral quest In the realms of the dead, I seek my final rest When memories shimmer, my soul feels a twist Lost and yearning, in an ethereal mist I've got a story, it's my spiritual quest In the sea of souls, I wish for the best When the past beckons, I start to resist Lost and searching, in the endless abyss.

Setting Sun Verse 1: In the realm where the light gives way I stand alone, holding the dark at bay Chasing shadows in a race I've run When the day fades, I'm the chosen one (Chorus) I am the ending, I'm the ending I am the ending, the setting sun x2 Verse 2 In the cosmic ballet, a single thread Carved by destiny, to the stars I've sped As the day bows to the moonlit night I'm the guardian, the twilight's light (Chorus) I am the ending, I'm the ending I am the ending, the setting sun x2 Bridge: Bright stars bring me into the night And guide my path In the silent dance of celestial fun Interlude: Hear the spirits crying In shadows I'm shrouded Waiting for the witching hour As the light retreats my reign begun Fog twisting and bending A master of darkness In shadows I am crowned Sinister, malefic, malignant (Chorus) I am the ending, I'm the ending I am the ending, the setting sun x2 Bridge: Bright stars bring me into the night And guide my path In the silent dance of celestial fun Verse 1: In the realm where the light gives way I stand alone, holding the dark at bay Chasing shadows in a race I've run When the day fades, I'm the chosen one (Chorus) I am the ending, I'm the ending I am the ending, the setting sun x4

The Guardian Chosen by fate to guard my city's gates again with rage Hearts beat with the fury of a thousand storms It's not my place to seek solutions or a peaceful end Destiny is clear, nowhere to hide With sword and shield, I'll face the night I am the guardian The city's symbol of hope A lonely sentinel I'm forged in blood and bone Fight 'til the end This might be the end, but I won't make them wait Darkness closing in, but I will stand my place Fell on my knees, I hit the ground and I begin to fade I saved my city, but so high the cost Cruel destiny, but I am glad I gave my life for them With mortal wounds, take my last breath I'll protect my kin, despite my deepest fear I am the guardian The city's symbol of hope A lonely sentinel I'm forged in blood and bone I welcome death I will give my all, and I don't fear the end For those in my care, I'll fight til my last breath
