Hey, it's Dying Season Bodies dropping in an endless grave Promise, promise broken Lives are lost, dissolved in vain War, war and treason Power minds set the stage Loss, loss of reason Disappearing in an endless rage Fist full of sand, mouth full of disdain Stepping stones melt into flames Ancient methods historically stained Soldiers marching onward into dust Cradle the crying, extol the dying Blood shed like paint to the wall Sanity scarring, a prayer underlying A season, a lifetime to fall Crack in the sky, black is the night A towering shadow divides Piercing creation, sever a nation Compose a season to die Hey, crying season Bombs are blasting with a deadly force Tears, tears are falling A river stained must change its course Lost, lost forever Sacrifice is fate's reward Time everlasting Only memories and timeless scars Fist full of sand, mouth full of disdain Stepping stones melt into flames Ancient methods historically stained Soldiers marching onward into dust Cradle the crying, extol the dying Blood shed like paint to the wall Sanity scarring, a prayer underlying A season, a lifetime to fall Crack in the sky, black is the night A towering shadow divides Piercing creation, sever a nation Compose a season to die Wars result, is it really worth the cost? So much pain, the suffering never ends War & fate, is where the bullets fly Dust to dust, when death and life collide [Solo: Lee] [Solo: Kragen] Fist full of sand, mouth full of disdain Stepping stones melt into flames Ancient methods historically stained Soldiers marching onward into dust Cradle the crying, extol the dying Blood shed like paint to the wall Sanity scarring, a prayer underlying A season, a lifetime to fall Crack in the sky, black is the night A towering shadow divides Piercing creation, sever a nation Compose a season to die

[Solo: Kragen] We are controlled by chaos in a world left for dead The masses have been betrayed Corrupt the innocent and rape the poor Replace the preordained I've seen the good and the bad and the ugly man And his faces are all the same But no one knows what's in his soul And he has to gain As far as the mind can see Humanity has gone astray Balance on a razorblade Lost among the crowd Sands of time will wash away Insanity is calling me [Solo: Kragen] Eternal pages of history are set ablaze The stench it fills the sky Destroy the evidence, erase the past And let the memory die I've seen the cold dark shell of a man His legacy etched in time What remains unchained is the ice in his veins And the morals he left behind As far as the mind can see Humanity has gone astray Balance on a razorblade Lost among the crowd Sands of time will wash away Insanity is calling me Even the blind can see Can't you see Eternal heresy This hypocrisy Condemned to misery There's no sympathy Condemned to life A life that's worth living is full of sacrifice If death is the beginning Then it's well worth the price [Solo: Kragen] [Solo: Gary Holt] [Solo: Gary Holt] [Solo: Kragen] As far as the mind can see Humanity has gone astray Balance on a razorblade Lost among the crowd Sands of time will wash away Insanity is calling me Even the blind can see Can't you see Eternal heresy This hypocrisy Condemned to misery There's no sympathy Condemned to life A life that's worth living is full of sacrifice If death is the beginning Then it's well worth the price [Solo: Kragen]

I'm looking for reason, I'm watching the signs This head on collision is a race against time Is this an illusion, It seems so unreal This manifestation is drawing me near Something to grab a hold of Capture a glimpse from the mind's eye Releasing all that I contain And all I perceive to be Feel the pressure building Got to take this journey on my own I have to seize the moment Leave no stone unturned until I'm done Just like a vapor, moments flash by Way beyond measure, like the infinite sky Realization, a token of faith A constant reminder of my ultimate grave With nothing to hold on to Cherish each breath until you die The sands of time have been measured line by line A calculation designed for the feast Feel the pressure building Got to take this journey on my own I have to seize the moment Leave no stone unturned until I'm done Until I'm gone Until I'm gone Until I'm gone Leave no stone unturned Dead and gone Leave no stone unturned [Solo: Kragen] [Fretless bass: Steve Di Giorgio] [Solo: Lee] [Solo: Kragen] I feel the pressure building I've got to take control I have to seize this moment Leave no stone unturned The past reveals the future Can we embrace our fate? This imprint has no boundary Leave no stone unturned Leave no stone unturned Until I'm done Leave no stone unturned Leave no stone unturned Until I'm done Leave no stone unturned Leave no stone unturned 'til I'm dead and gone
Black as the night, furious fight Arrows are piercing the sky Sharp as the blade, the cut has been made Agony coming my way [Pre-Chorus]: Demon eyes are watching me Preying on my pain and misery Spreading hate, they plant the seeds Deception is their only way to feed [Chorus]: Arrow of agony falling Pierces my flesh 'til I bleed This is the enemy haunting me With arrows of agony Chilled to the bone, drifting alone This nightmare is haunting my soul Peace I must find to ease my mind Something to regain control [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] Lost, lost inside my pain, Time, to wash away the stain Scars, still the scars remain Agony is haunting me, draining the last drop of my sanity Lost, lost inside my pain, Time, to wash away the stain Scars, still the scars remain Arrows are falling as agony as agony pierces my soul [Solo: Terry Lauderdale] [Solo: Kragen] Black as the night, furious fight Arrows are piercing the sky Sharp as the blade, the cut has been made Agony coming my way [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]

Twisting on a fine line Shifting up the incline Coasting down along this narrow road Creeping up my blind side Sidetrack to the dark side Try to get my spirit to transcend I've suffered inside the grey and the black I've walked through goals to get where I'm at I've saved a lifetime in a jar of miry clay Shaping my existence to never fade away Fade away I will never Never fade away Drifting on an ocean Life without devotion Hollow is the man without a soul Blinded by ambition Short sighted in his vision Redemption's not a place that he calls home I've suffered inside the grey and the black I've walked through goals to get where I'm at I've saved a lifetime in a jar of miry clay Shaping my existence to never fade away Fade away I will never Never fade away Twisting on a fine line Shifting up the incline Coasting down along this narrow road Creeping up my blind side Sidetrack to the dark side Try to get my spirit to transcend [Solo: Lee] [Solo: Kragen] Draining out the poison Infection's now in motion Got to find the source before it spreads Facing my destruction Reaching out for something To free the embrace of this quicksand I've suffered inside the grey and the black I've walked through goals to get where I'm at I've saved a lifetime in a jar of miry clay Shaping my existence to never fade away Fade away I will never Never fade away

There's a time for every season With a cure comes new disease Bloodshed and suppression, pain and suffering There's a necessary evil And the brave will heed the call The bugler calls the line as the generals keep the score In this world that we live in There is war and tyranny Chaos and confusion, divided: Who are we? There is peace as well as freedom But they both come with a price Will we ever understand what it means to sacrifice? They are not in it for the treasure And not there for the fame Their aim is for the glory And the battle is the game They proudly wear their badge of courage A living tribute to the clash Some of them come seeking vengeance Some fight for the flag, for their God and the land Victory fools us into thinking About what we lost and what we've won When death was upon us Did we do the things that had to be done? They travel by land, by air or by sea Where ever the fight may be Willingly lay down their lives to preserve The land of the brave and the free The home of the brave and the land of the free The home of the soldiers who fought to keep us free [Spoken dedication: Adam Harrington]: This song is dedicated to the fallen, wounded and scarred Their truth is neverending and sacrifice always hard We honor and pay tribute to all who have served their country well May you all find peace apart from this living hell [Solo: Kragen] [Solo: Lee] [Trade-Off Solo: Kragen, Lee, Kragen, Lee]

This feeling that inside me burns Reveals its face to me in turn To sow the seeds of self destruction Once hidden, now concealed no more Its power greater than before Led down the path to where renewed temptation lies [Chorus]: Internalize These wicked cries Is fate deciding? What's become of me? Creation's son Thy will be done There's no defying I'll be undone Relent and give in to its needs Incessant chaos which it feeds Digs my own grave without intention And now the hole is six feet deep Return to reason far too steep Walk further down the road to where salvation dies [Chorus] [Solo: Kragen] [Solo: Lee] Relent and give in to extreme Incessant chaos draining me To sow the seeds of deconstruction Once hidden now the path is clear Its power greater than my fear Led down the path to where the flames of cremation rise [Chorus]

Endless cycle, in hungry packs they feed Survival in turmoil is the way of the streets There is no honor among thieves, no concern or remorse Legions upon legions march in a centrifugal force [Chorus]: Bloodkult Senseless blood will spill Kill first The code is kill or be killed Hopeless denial, desensitized to death Nothing more than a passing glance to aggravate your arrogance Deadly weapon in your hand, confidence in the steel Trigger is your only friend, the bullet's fate is revealed Corruption's running fast and deep, and there is no cure Contamination infects the rich and the poor Humanity is lost, their mind are filled with dread Demons of wrath condemned to eternal flames [Chorus] Prisons and graveyards are filled with this plague This vicious cycle, is too far gone to be saved Nightmares, cold stares, better run for your life Gun shots, sirens wailing, cuts through like a knife [Solo: Kragen] Endless cycle, in hungry packs they feed Survival in turmoil is the way of the streets There is no honor among thieves, no concern or remorse Legions upon legions march in a centrifugal force [Chorus]: Bloodkult Senseless blood will spill Kill first The code is kill or be killed Blood Bath Drenched in the crimson reign Bloodkult Disciples of death in vain [Solo: Kragen]

Can you hear the warning? What's been done and what's been said? People always talking But no one's listening to the dead I'm beside myself in disgust Watching the world turn to dust I heard someone screaming Where will we be once all is lost? And who's gonna count the cost? Who's gonna count the loss? I see the madness in their eyes, in their eyes Their empty words are filled with promises But they're lies Siphoning everything draining blood from the earth A day of reckoning and suffering Will cover what's left of this world Temperatures rising A new end is dawning The sky is crying red tears of disgrace When the shadows fall There'll be peace no more And nothing left worth fighting for Days filled with dread Rivers flowing red When we bite the hand we choke on regret 'til there's nothing left I hear the sadness in their cries, in their cries Spilled tears through the years have all run dry, bone dry Wanna start a revolution not a war Wanna find a resolution before we melt to the core Temperatures rising A new end is dawning The sky is crying red tears of disgrace When the shadows fall There'll be peace no more And nothing left worth fighting for Days filled with dread Rivers flowing red When we bite the hand we choke on regret 'til there's nothing left Stormclouds over head Raining tears of red [Solo: Kragen] [Solo: Lee] Did you heed the warning? Because time is coming to an end There's too much talking But not enough being said

Darkness has consumed your soul Now you curse the sky Agony and solitude like worms feed on your pride Innocence has been erased As shadows stain the sun Now it's time to pay the price for all that you have done [Chorus]: Silent cry Hear the voices whisper, "Do it!" Shattered life Fading into silent nothingness Phantom of the universe Devouring mankind Infection to humanity poisoning the blind Centuries have come and gone Nothing seems to change Evil is as evil does, the sin remains the same [Chorus] [Solo: Kragen] Never show fear Use your second sight The wolves are always near Lurking in the night Never show fear Use your second sight The wolves are always near [Solo: Terry Lauderdale]
