The Future, Tonight
Spread the disease Brave desolation Hail to the chief The rape of a nation Liars and thieves Have kicked down the door The people survive On the scraps from the floor Silent elites Contrive deviation Twisted beliefs Revive segregation Profits of power Are hidden offshore The world is undone By a knave and his whore Let your spirit fly Say your last goodbye and Fade into the everlasting oceans Just watch them fall apart Staring at the sun Blinding everyone and Melting in the heart of their devotion This world is burning Schemers unleashed Preaching psychosis False bittersweet Crushing the hopeless Madness corruption The brink of a war Justice is too blind To settle the score Violent release Seductive hypnosis Forced to retreat Obscene and corrosive Money and vanity Spit on the law The cost of a lie Doesn't count anymore (Solo: Midgley) Standing at the door Tell me what will you settle for All that's within Is there for the taking All that's without Is damned and forsaken All that we've lost Diminished and broken All gone to hell The people have spoken Building walls to keep you safe Never practice what they're preaching Stand in line to be betrayed Self-deception double dealing Life will never be the same Losing sight of what we're missing Freedom pills are up for sale Close your eyes The night is here to stay

Wasting time trying to beat the system See the signs Spreading like cancer in our minds Can you not hear the sound? A billion brains are ticking Go deeper underground The streets are panic stricken Don't wave we've all but drowned Our last goodbye unwritten A world turned upside down The end of days is here We are the last of our kind Burnt out and ready to die Not guts and no glory No part in this story This is the end of the line Stolen dreams, Everything's for the taking Lose the fear Let the apocalypse run wild Swoop in like birds of prey Our masters cut their losses New lives to penetrate With billion dollar profits With pride and vanity They steal the light out of the sun A new democracy The end of days is here (Solo: Thunder) Evil days, Worship the end of reason Sealed our fate, see what we are And what they've done No one said these are the rules By which we die Close my eyes, can't bear to See the dying light This is the end of our time...

In the darkness out of sight Where the tongues are tied in silence My spirit whispers, listen close And you'll find the answer With my hand I will guide you There's no place I won't find you, Set you free When all is night then, You will find the light in me Wrap your soul around me It's flesh and blood, Awaken your emotions Wrap your soul around me A searing kiss To revel in mortal bliss You touch the flames, Your body's on fire It turns you on to walk on the wire Come alive in your wildest dreams Wrap your soul around me On the edge you're so far gone But you rise up ever stronger We all go under (Ecstasy and wonder, Reaching further, Makes you scream) Like a child of the morning When a new day is dawning, Steal unseen You're free to wander, The future is evergreen Evening star from the vault of heaven To the eastern skies Moving systems in the darkness Can't stop all the static In my head If I can't live free then I'll fight Until I'm dead (Solo: Thunder) Wrap your soul around me We all go under Somewhere we can be free

Summer dreams can be bittersweet and the daylight seems to last forever When all you need is a place to hide away All these dark thoughts and fractured scenes are a shadow play that makes me restless Time goes by as I wait for judgement day I can feel it coming! Thunder, lights and wind and rain Are all it takes to keep me burning One more shot to keep me sane Another red light burning in my brain I’m in hell no I won’t apologise I’m in hell but I still got heaven in my sights I’m in hell no I won’t apologise I’m in hell but I still believe in heaven I can see the future fade away And the world around me feels so empty It’s all gone in a moment Another spirit laid to rest I don’t want to live another day I’m a rocket burning up on entry So alive, but so wasted Please give me sanctuary Breaking down, all the screams and shouts all the dreams of mercy, who’s pretending? No one cares if I crash without a sound... And I never wake up! Thunder lights and wind and rain Are all it takes to keep me burning One more shot to keep me sane The dawn escapes, the roads keep turning Silence in a crowded room Took the hits without complaining Rather me than all of you Another red light burning in my brain [PRE-CHORUS] [CHORUS] Silent screaming I’ve come up for air And as I stop to catch my breath I see you standing there Your light’s still shining But the darkness steals the brightest stars And the shadows on our souls Conceal the darkest scars It goes on and… Looking back at the endless black and the times I tried to make things better Some things pass but somethings are meant to last... And they never let up! [CHORUS] I don’t want to live another day I’m a rocket burning up and now I can fly away And stay this-way-forever...

We found a way to fight the darkness We found a way to kill the pain We took a thousand deadly shots of poison And washed them all away like rain Kill the light all around us Burn the candles away Sinners gather around and pray Til the morning Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Our sins don't wash away Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We don't need saving We used to run around in shadows We spent a lifetime bound in chains But now our secrets are no longer hidden We bear the lasting Mark of Cain And feel no regrets! And now I'm coming back to life My beating heart no longer lies And now this vessel is no longer empty Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Our sins don't wash away Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We don't need salvation Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh No matter what you say Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh There's poison in our souls Will we give in to temptation If there's no heaven or hell Where are the gods of creation? Pray they don't take us away (Solo: Thunder) And now this vessel is no longer empty The sound of beating hearts that lose contol

Nothing takes hold of us, Twilight's breaking Nobody wants to watch As the lights go down Something inside of us Like an empty silence fading Somebody else's dream Where a shadow walks away Never wanted it to end like this Never thought that we'd surrender Never felt the same without your kiss A secret we'll remember Looking beyond the past For a future never ending Somebody's out for blood And there's no light shining through Never wanted it to end like this Never thought that we'd surrender Never felt the same without your kiss The past has gone forever Streetlights were shining out When we brought the lightning down The fever inside us burned for More than a lifetime Yeah more than a lifetime baby You burnt the heart of me And left the dying embers I fell apart for you Just to see you smile Not blind cause now I see White flags in all their splendour The night has broken through Nothing's left of you The... (Solo: Midgley) Never wanted it to end like this Never thought that we'd surrender Never felt the same without your kiss The past has gone forever

By the grace of all your gods Could you lift me from my misery? With just a movement from your fingers Cuz I've been waiting for a miracle And I am ready to believe I'll give my life, my everything... So you can drop your poison in my ear: (THE VOICE) "You best believe that you are nothing No matter what you do I got a million more like you You're secondary" Feeling like I'll never reach the sky Looking like a winner but I wanna die My spirit's crushed and I've lost my freedom I sold my soul for another Eden Every minute, every night and day Bleeding me forever til I just can't pay You sold my dreams down an endless river You talk so loud but you can't deliver (THE VOICE) "You try to hide the scars, You pray for healing, I'll eat you from within Til nothing remains I'll get inside your skin, I'll leave you reeling, I'll never let you win I'm here to take control" And though my pride is hard to swallow And my heart is black and bruised I just can't walk away from you Intoxicated My dreams sold down the river It's all because of you I'll find another Eden There's nothing left here Ten years looking back this can't go on Ten years I've been trying to find the answer Ten years for the strength to carry on This time I'm breaking free (Solo: Thunder) Feeling like I'll never reach the sky Every time you make me Wanna die Every minute every night and day Every moment's got a price I have to pay Now I'm reaching for the door I can grab the handle This is what I'm fighting for I'm not walking away Feeling like I'll never reach the sky Every time you make me wanna die Every minute every night and day Every moment's got a price I have to pay

Born again I will not be ignored Don't wanna walk among the dead Everybody wants to be adored You're gonna drown in what I said Beat the drum wanna dance in the carnage I can't wait to do it all again I'm alive, I'm born to light the way And you were meant to follow I've got another try for you to play A life hack for the unbelievers I know how to ease the pain But I'll make you beg for it You're in trouble Spreading like a fever Recognise your leader I'm inside your mind I'm your dream and your deceiver 20 million lives And they all belong tome I never miss the chance, the opportunity You're mine Forever Another soul to treasure No fear No pressure I trade your pain for pleasure I steal the word from around you Rewrite the laws of nature Outshined And severed Nothing breeds nothing it's true Make the sky fall You will surrender all control I'll make you kneel before me There's no retaliation No need to compromise Not good or bad intentions You'll have to fall in line again Loving from a distance Breaking all resistance Laughing at the fools that are Selling their existence Freedom in a blackout Only I can see I never miss the chance the opportunity You think the world belongs to you I am the saviour that can tell you What to do You think it all belongs to you I'm gonna find a way There's nothing that I won't do It's a matter of faith I am the chosen You can feel the weight When I have spoken Those who throw stones are just delusional I will pick bones and spread confusion Cynical singular follow my way Drown you in vitriol I walk away Faceless and sightless I will not change My path is clear, I got you I'm here this is my time

Lords of our Damnation The favoured sons Sold us out for dollar bills They hit and run Slash and burn this season The deal has been done The parasites Have sanitized Genocide They treasure desolation They'll eat their words We have a million reasons This is a wakeup call to live or die This is not a false alarm It's a final warning See the vermin leave the ship Time is up for lies You can call me a dreamer I won't follow my leaders Won't give in to the schemers Rise up, tear the bastards down Silent screams are falling Don't waste your tears Moneymen just walk away Too rich to fear Can you hear the silence Surrounding us all No epitaphs Or cenotaphs Photographs... of wastelands never taken! All you fuckers We've got your backs against the wall You're hanging by a thread We will take you down Don't believe a word that you're saying Can't believe you sold us all out Don't believe a word that you're saying Ignorance ain't bliss, you're checking out We fall like pawns on a chessboard We won't survive the rising tide The saboteurs have cost the earth And left us nothing Not in my name There are a million reasons We have just one last chance To live or die (Solo: Thunder)

Nobody's watching over us No neeed to cover our faces Don't break the silence Don't make a fuss We've got our own hiding places I'd never let anything come Between you and I, I'd rip apart the sky, Until the stars align or worlds collide, I'd ride into the darkness, Kill the ghosts that hang around your door, Until they never come back no more. The sun is setting down on us No one will pick up the traces Like fading shadows We turn to dust Here nothing changes And nothing survives after us I'd rip apart the sky Oh just for you and I The darkness won't swallow us We're still standing here Where all the others lost This is the path I chose, This is the road I travelled, I won't let anybody stand in my way, One day... I'll come back from the edge, My mind will not unravel, I'll keep on fighting 'til the end of my days Until the sun and the stars collide Until we're swept by the rising tide Until we're faded and cast aside And time slips away but we all must carry on Yeah we'll keep marching on We'll find our echoes in the twilight Where it will just be us It was flesh & blood Now it's just blood and guts
