As They Sleep
Album • 2010
Throughout history we've sought our questions answered/ Seeking immortality / seeking darkness at the same time we ignore the light Provoking the unseen The god of the underworld has you in sight Raping your soul / Unmerciful master of brimstone and fire / Devouring all There is no escaping the god of the dead / You've made your bed / Now it's time you've slept in it Demon of dreams / Life is not all that it seems Leading the blind through your passage of screams The oracle of the dead / A shrine to lay your head Into obscurity, denying Heaven's light / Falling to your knees / The path you've chosen is a hell you can't describe / this evil deity

To the republic for which it stands / We have sacrificed and met demands / The rhetoric of a sovereign nation / The scaring screams of exasperation If logic is money of the mind / Than clearly we have spent ourselves blind / Unite Unite Depreciate the American dollar / Magnify this quest for power / Alas when everything is said and done / Who will be the anointed one? / It's so easy just to push the blame / When at stake is a politician's fame / It's so easy just to push the blame / And bring on endless suffering Have we not learned from yesterday? / Or are we blinded by hypocrisy? / Have we not learned from yesterday? Tempers flaring, every word that you say / Have we not learned from yesterday? You cannot finance destiny The art of loosing / Is not hard to master It's plain to see / That we are falling faster Aim your guns high / You have to learn to walk before you learn to fly / Aim your guns high But when the bullets fall back to earth, they may take your life To the republic for which it stands / We have sacrificed and met demands / The rhetoric of a sovereign nation / The searing screams of exasperation / One nation, under God / That doesn't seem to be the cause / One nation under fraud Emancipate this dying race

1-30-33 / A reign this would could not foresee Into the mind of a fascist leader / And the birth of a deadly regime Eradicate / Burned to ash there was no escape As he rose to power / Approach the final hours Behold the holocaust has come to take your lives How could this come to be / Propaganda make believe / This Aryan master race The ashes tell no lies Children cry out from starvation / No sympathy For God's creation / Children cry out / Suffocating No sympathy / Death was waiting Lest we forget / This evil anti-Semitic / As bodies filled the streets / Forever etched in memories These final days / Have set the bar for all to raise A withered shell / You've crawled your way to the pits of Hell The horror / The terror / Your lifeless body lays Known as nothing but a coward for the rest of days / For the rest of days / the horror The terror / your lifeless body lays / Known as nothing but a coward / Coward

Deep into the Vally of the Kings / On the west bank of the Nile / Lies the secrets of the souls beneath / A somber Egypt sky Thieves robbed all the graves / And all that remains Is all that we know / The struggle for power / The darkest of hours / A mummified pharaoh No one could anticipate the bedlam at the Nile enter exile As famine swept the land / The end of days Have lent a dying hand / Unheard atrocities Feeding on the weak / Why did you desecrate this sacred sanctity? The towns were ravaged with swarms of Scarabs And sounds of distant groans / The blood of the Nile / The souls exiled / Osiris, save us all O god of the afterlife / What do you seek? Hast thou not paid the price / The end of a dynasty / So pure and true / Whose secrets died in vein with the souls of the entombed Fight the reign / These blows of fate Despair / Collapse / How long will this plague last Despair / Collapse / These secrets of the past An eclipse of royal power and poverty / Surrounds these final hours / An ancient kingdom lost A monarchy / A conquered nation looks up to the new born king Engulfed in desert / The sacred scarab A pharaoh's treasure / Your curse awaits

Take over the world / Enslaved to declination Leave all of your hopes and dreams behind Make haste divide this nation Take over the world / There is nothing left to murder / Complete disregard for human life This ancient flame that still burns Into the darkest ages / Once more an Emperor's demise / I've longed to turn these pages / Fight as hard as mortal man can fight / Re-live the devastation / A billowing smoke that haunts the sky / This murderous confrontation / a horrific sight for untrained eyes To forget who we were / We try to change who we are / Degrade the stature of life / Put a blade in the back of the truth and you twist the knife Burning temples ablaze / While we suffer the reign Your people dying in vein / The remains of a tranquil place as it falls from grace Sew the fields with ashes of the infidels / We can't go on this way / We can't go on / Take these chains and break them at their weakest link We can't go on this way / We can't go on You speak a cold dead language / A respected language of the past / Whose words are best forgotten / But we all won't soon forget this wrath Just like the frailest human / Ignoring the signs of your collapse / You watch the blood spill over Inadvertently walking the same path Open your eyes / We've all been force fed their lies Force fed their lies / A leader who gives / gives everything that you want / Cant take it all away

This track is instrumental.
Summoned by the winds on the primeval ocean Under the waves the earth's creation Deities of a dead world / The gods formed their pantheon / This place / This Meso-America Seeks desperate divination What was your obsession with time and sacrifice Bloodletting / Clouds of black smoke / A burning blood offering / All in attempts to speak to the vision serpents/ A Mayan offering to hear the serpent sing Rise and fall / Who's meant to have it all Calendars of the ancient / A cascade of catastrophe / The collapse / Both natural and man-made / Astronomical prophecy Scarred by time

Arise, thy king / O ruler of Rhine Devastation lust for war A perilous quest to conquer the West I long for the days of the Innocence We've pushed them away / Barbaric be thy name We've pushed them away Tattoo your face for war / The scourge of God Anything goes as I raise my sword Chastise / My brother's demise An endless conquest for more / An unsettled score Why haven't we learned from our mistakes? Why put on the crown of thorns? Why waste your time? / It's all been done before

I remember it all / The warmest summer seas The magnificent gardens / Groves of flowered trees / As I sit on the ocean floor / Longing for distant shores / How did it come to this? Why hast thou betrayed the only laws I've set in place? / My sons, how the earth will quake The sea shall swallow us all / Why did you spit in my face? / This land is disgraced A kingdom submerged / All we have is who we were / My love / My tormented empire Unleash the fury / I stand beneath this darkened sky / if you only knew me / On jealousy I thrive Unleash the fury / This swilling death of my empire / If you only knew me / This day Atlantis dies The skies are bloody red / You had it made and now I've left you all for dead / Never question the odds / I bring the rage of the gods / I never wanted it to end This day Atlantis dies / I command the ocean to rise/ Take us all/ I have spoken Why hast thou betrayed?

O blessed are the souls who escaped the battle fields and walk in the spite of all their woes The sacred birds are feeding on the flesh of those left dead and gone / O son of Zeus, they hated one Words cannot describe the hate that lies behind your eyes Thy will / Beseeched / What are you fighting for? Thy will / Beseeched / Relentless god of war The gods of Olympus look down upon your soiled crown / Your time in hell awaits for the lives that you've put down Pulled by steeds of fire / With your bloodthirsty desire / Waging war on all who cross your path God forbid your bloody wrath / They pray the gods to take your life / This plague of never- ending strife / With mortal men and gods alike left screaming for their lives Battlelust / Watch Athens fall to dust Battlelust / The elder gods no longer trust Battlelust / Must war take all of us Unmerciful thou art / This cruel Olympian You are the god of war

Beyond the shadows of your deepest doubts Above the bluest seas / Lies a kingdom we have willingly died for / A true land of the free Lift up these broken battered souls We can not do this on our own Where will we go? / What shall we see? Lose your grip on reality / Open your mind Fall to your knees / Embrace eternity I hear the angels singing / thy purest gifts they're bringing / Take now your righteous scat at the throne of theocracy The days of suffering shall soon be over The word hath been received / For we are here Our cup runneth over / is this not destiny? It's not worth fighting for / A world of senseless war Lay down your battle sword and open up your eyes
