From the ashes of a corrupt and dying world They rise like a phoenix A godless entity They are the Khaos Legions

The fire's inside us tonight These bridges will burn so bright Tomorrow bears our name No more power games -Harmony lead - Michael & Christopher- Reaching for the light beyond We will rise through the dark again Ready to fight for what we believe to be right Yesterday is dead and gone Rattling the chains - Shaking the cage Heed our war cry Let there be no doubt - we want out This is reckoning day -Chorus melody - Michael- We are standing in the flames Reaching for the sky Fighting to the end Yesterday is dead and gone! Under a blood red sky our voice will be heard In a world where compassion is lost You try to control us - this is so absurd Freedom will be won at any cost Rattling the chains - Shaking the cage Heed our war cry Let there be no doubt - we want out This is reckoning day -Chorus melody - Michael- We are standing in the flames Reaching for the sky Fighting to the end Yesterday is dead and gone! -Lead - Christopher / Michael- Rattling the chains - Shaking the cage Heed our war cry Let there be no doubt - we want out This is reckoning day -Outro lead - Christopher- This is reckoning day Yesterday is dead and gone...

Gripping the strength of belief Old tales and lies you trust In the end there is no relief A final breath you're breathing dust -Lead - Christopher- Get up off your praying knees The door is about to slam shut Armageddon drawing near As darkness engulfs your soul All the prayers in this world won't help you now... You deceived - they believed In your bloodstained cross You deceived - they believed In your bloodstained cross A perverted truth your reality Forced your beliefs on the weak Power twisted by years of abuse The strong shall inherit the meek Get up off your praying knees The door is about to slam shut Armageddon drawing near As darkness engulfs your soul All the prayers in this world won't help you now... You deceived - they believed In your bloodstained cross You deceived - they believed In your bloodstained cross -Lead - Michael- You deceived - they believed In your bloodstained cross You deceived - they believed In your bloodstained cross -Outro lead - Christopher- All the prayers in this world won't help you now...

-Melody - Christopher- Here I am, back to the wall I pick the fight against the tide Free at last, I go my own way I will resist them 'til the day I die -Melody - Michael- I am who I am - My time has come! I am who I am Take it or leave it A rebel at heart! No gods, no masters My time has come There is no sacred place, no perfect world Your head is home, freedom in your heart Be strong, take this chance Make your way, a better future calls -Melody - Michael- I am who I am - My time has come! I am who I am Take it or leave it A rebel at heart! No gods, no masters My time has come No gods, no masters! No gods, no masters! What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger Locked and loaded, ready to strike Here we stand, loud and proud United as one, united as one I am who I am Take it or leave it A rebel at heart! No gods, no masters My time has come (2x)
-Intro lead - Christopher- In this city of broken dreams Monuments of death arise This is the Necropolis Where the nameless live and breathe Rotten tombs of ancient kings Days of glory are gone A mockery to the living souls Confined in darkness Trapped inside these walls Between their father's bones Stillborn to this world All their hopes are lost Doomed to live on a burial ground An empty shrine their home The poorest of society Find some shelter but no peace Children play between the stones Laughter echoes from the walls Their cradle of innocent joy Will be their grave of sorrow Trapped inside these walls Between their father's bones Stillborn to this world All their hopes are lost No safety, no dignity, no light, no justice, no future, no home and nowhere to go Their misery, frustration, anger, depression, sadness, madness will drown in hatred -Lead - Michael / Christopher- Trapped inside these walls Between their father's bones Stillborn to this world All their hopes are lost

Broken bodies stiff from storms Our spirits scarred to ice The only witness left alive The raven and its staring eyes Taste the blood Hear their cries Horrifying genocide We lost our paradise Through the eyes of the raven See the slaughter, your crimes They will remember And so shall I -Melody - Christopher- When I die Let the ravens fly Let my body lie Under snow and blood The wolves of war at your throat Leave nothing but severed bones Scattered upon battlefields Life is the price you pay He who is proud is not for long He who is brave will be destroyed Your murder a heavy crown Layered with thorns of shame Through the eyes of the raven See the slaughter, your crimes They will remember And so shall I -Melody - Christopher- When I die Let the ravens fly Let my body lie Under snow and blood (2x) -Lead - Michael / Christopher- -Acoustic outro: Chords - Christopher, Melody - Michael-

Disinfected torture chamber A scientific abattoir Their death is the price of your progress If these walls could talk... they'd scream! Scream! Scream! No empathy No dignity Cruelty without beauty Cruelty without beauty Archaic rhetoric your weak defense Your victims have no choice, no voice Look in their eyes, does it still make sense? A plastic bag their burial gown No empathy No dignity Cruelty without beauty Cruelty without beauty -Harmony lead - Micheal & Christopher- -Lead - Christopher / Michael / Christopher / Michael- A legacy of evil you preserve Their blood cannot be washed cleaned In my eyes their brutal fate you deserve In your dreams you will hear them scream Scream! Scream! Scream!

Chaos is creation A swirling mass of atoms and ideas Natural selection the sculptor of all life Survival of the fittest, all your tall tales are dead We are legion, one will and one heartbeat This is anarchy We are a godless entity -Lead - Christopher- There are many ways to die But only one way to live Let the cult of chaos reign Be as free as you can be -Melody - Michael- -Lead noise - Christopher- Confusion, diffusion, your system in turmoil Disillusion, revolution, the storm to cleanse this world False prophets, propaganda Speak in tongues and dead words 'Till the fangs of reality Will sink into their throats This is anarchy We are a godless entity There are many ways to die But only one way to live Let the cult of chaos reign Be as free as you can be -Melody - Michael- There will be dead silence and then a new beginning Let the cult of chaos reign -Melody - Christopher- -Lead - Christopher- There are many ways to die But only one way to live Let the cult of chaos reign Be as free as you can be (2x)

-Intro melody - Michael- I've got a secret - I just can't tell I have created my own hell If you knew what I know It would change your perfect world Locked the vault - Thrown away the key My lips are forever sealed Buried in a place you'll never see This secret dies with me Don't ask me - For I cannot tell Words can kill - Sharp as a blade of steel Skeletons of the past... This burden, this pain Were all these tears in vain? Memories of the past return This one is going with me to the grave It is beating me up inside To that I must confess Secret weighing down my soul Until I draw my very last breath Don't ask me - For I cannot tell Words can kill - Sharp as a blade of steel Skeletons of the past... Skeletons of the past... -Lead - Michael- Skeletons of the past... Skeletons of the past... -Lead - Christopher- -Outro melody - Michael-
