Struggled for decades Hardships that we have faced Far beyond compare External interference Mixed with inner dissent More than most could bear In a time when most would just give up With our faith in you strong we drive on We will stand strong and fight on Our battle has just begun Destroy all who stand in our way When we're gone they'll remember We never surrender And from our true path never strayed Come what may We've heard the critics? Condemning analysis Judging what thy themselves can't do Basing their judgement On pure subjectivity Forcing opinions on you Who are they to display such audacity? We will thrive just to spite them all We will stand strong and fight on Our battle has just begun Destroy all who stand in our way When we're gone they'll remember We never surrender And from our true path never strayed Come what may Our faith will never falter Our strength grows ever more Our names shall live forever Like eagles we shall soar

You feel it rise From somewhere deep within you As it starts to take control Pain and despair Completely overwhelm you It transforms your very soul The wolf is called by the moonlight There's nothing that you can do to stop it Feel its hunger as it grows stronger Transformation to the beast Deadly monster, horrific nightmare On their flesh it will feast Hunt for your prey The blood lust taking over It consumes you to the core They try to run You quickly overtake them Leave behind a bloodstained gore The wolf is called by the moonlight There's nothing that you can do to stop it Feel its hunger as it grows stronger Transformation to the beast Deadly monster, horrific nightmare On their flesh it will feast Now they hunt you Crave your destruction They won't stop until you're dead Armed with silver Your only weakness They are coming to take your head Once again you take on the wolf form Howl into the moonlight sky Closing in now, soon their upon you Who will live and who will die?

When the darkness falls On the land we will rise As our hunger calls We will seek out our prize Through the night hunt our prey Then we hide in shadows throughout the day Forever immortal Ancient power We never age Filled with strength We’ll devour Many hate our kind They are filled with repulsion Try to hunt us down Genocide their compulsion On their blood we will feast Soon they’ll learn the nature of the beast Forever immortal Ancient power We never age Filled with strength We’ll devour Persecuted for what we are Forced into a life of hiding Godless creatures with no souls Offending their pure hearts We are stronger by far And have the cunning of the ages Their minds we can control And seduce their hearts Blood is the life, with it we thrive Passage of time only makes us stronger And yet despite all of our might In shadows we must hide Forever immortal Ancient power We never age Filled with strength We’ll devour

Time is passing by, now it's do or die Years have gone by way too fast No more time to wait or it will be too late Future soon will be the past This is your last chance Snap out of your trance You won't get another break Opportunity vanishing quickly It's a risk that you must take Strike now while the iron is hot You have been given a chance to achieve something great that most only dream of Rise up to the challenge Only you have what it takes to succeed And now more than ever In yourself you must believe Set aside procrastination You cannot put it off any more Time is now, no tomorrow Spread your wings so you can soar This is your end game You've no one to blame If you do not take your shot Nothing left to lose (You) know what you must choose You must give it all you got You must look within if you hope to win Do not be afraid to fail Put away your fears With blood, sweat and tears You'll find some way to prevail Strike now while the iron is hot You have been given a chance to achieve something great that most only dream of Rise up to the challenge Only you have what it takes to succeed And now more than ever In yourself you must believe Set aside procrastination You cannot put it off any more Time is now, no tomorrow Spread your wings so you can soar... You can soar...

I'm not one to back down So I will stand my ground If you underestimate It will be you last mistake If you dare to challenge me You will taste defeat Once I've reached my breaking point Pain and violence I'll appoint You will see a darker side of me With less sympathy You have awakened my unforgiving side My gentle nature is gone and for you now my tolerance has died Loss like you've never known Pain cuts you to the bone Now you see there's more to me As you face defeat You have awakened my unforgiving side I'm fueled by anger welling from deep inside There is no mercy, my empathy subsides My gentle nature is gone and for you now my tolerance has died

Silently enduring pain Throughout the passing years The scars have formed within me All my trust I'd placed in you You were the world to me Your love meant everything Heartlessly mistreated Childhood filled with misery I did not know better Youthful cursed nativity I was too blind to see Pain turned into anger Burning hatred filling me Years of endless torment Filled my life with agony (But) My time has come I've taken all I can And I've survived I am a stronger man How the tide has turned now It is you in need of me I've gained supremacy Child becomes the parent You well-being in my hands Will I show you kindness? Or will I exact revenge? My time has come I've taken all I can And I've survived I am a stronger man In darkness I've hardened My will developed stronger My mind and my spirit will be your slave no longer! No longer! No longer! My time has come I've taken all I can And I've survived I am a stronger man

In the night I feel at home In darkness I do thrive On the hunt, my mind is sharp I feel so alive Locked in, I have them now There is no escape Charge in, weapons drawn They'll now face their final fate Swords clash, blood spills Sound of clashing steel Screams of pain as they fall My victory is sealed Wipe the blood off of my blade I continue on my way I pick up another trail Many more I have to slay They won't see another day It's the price that they must pay I will bring forth fear and pain I will drive the rest insane Midnight reign I seek retribution, complete restitution They betrayed Midnight reign Turned to opposition with their contradictions Midnight reign The time has come My will be done I will show them I will torment They will repent They will suffer With dying breath They'll beg for death I'll show no mercy They won't escape Their souls I'll rape I'll laugh as they die They won’t see another day... It’s the price that they must pay... I will bring forth fear and pain... I will drive the rest insane... Midnight reign I seek retribution, complete restitution They betrayed Midnight reign Turned to opposition with their contradictions Midnight...

When it all seems lost and I’m down It all feels so hopeless When I’ve reached the point I just want to give up And I’m feeling so helpless That’s the time I must reach inside myself Find that last bit of strength Can’t stop now – it is do or die And I am not no one to surrender (I will fight on) I will never be discouraged, won’t back down With resolve I stand my ground (Until I’ve won) Never will admit defeat All will see – I will claim my victory Many in the past have tried to put me down They tried to dissuade me Quickly they did learn the folly of their ways And I made them all see That’s the time I must reach inside myself Find that last bit of strength Can’t stop now – it is do or die And I am not no one to surrender (I will fight on) I will never be discouraged, won’t back down With resolve I stand my ground (Until I’ve won) Never will admit defeat All will see – I will claim my victory When I look in the mirror And reflect on my life All the choices I have made I have no regrets I’d do it all again... (I will fight on) I will never be discouraged, won’t back down With resolve I stand my ground (Until I’ve won) Never will admit defeat All will see – I will claim my victory (I will fight on) I will never be discouraged, won’t back down With resolve I stand my ground (Until I’ve won) Never will admit defeat All will see – I will claim my victory!

Deadly and silent They will not sense me near Quickly I will set upon them They will have no chance Their final moments will be filled with dreadful fear I am the chosen one who’s sent forth to avenge! (Never yield) (Carry on) Until my foes are all gone (Hunt them all) (They will fall) I will avenge the fallen ones They hide in darkness Their lives besieged by dread Soon I will have them in my sights They hurt so many Despite their innocence And now they’ll face unforgiving might I am the chosen one who’s sent forth to avenge (Never yield) (Carry on) Until my foes are all gone (Hunt them all) (They will fall) I will avenge the fallen ones (Never yield) (Carry on) Until my foes are all gone (Hunt them all) (They will fall) I will avenge the fallen ones... Now I’m – closing in our my targets They’ll soon pay – time draws Near and soon they will all face their – Judgment Day In my sights I have got them This is for those who fell Savagely with no mercy I begin to unleash hell!

Walk beside me Down this darkened path I choose to live My heart has turned to stone Will you guide me? As I look to what you have to give Or will I go alone Frustration, temptation grows Reflection, deception shows Walking down this path of hell As I dream of heaven Wallowing in self-despair My life clock is at eleven Desolation, devastation Take what's left of me Separation, isolation Reel in mystery Can't believe what has become of my life Someone tell me when will I see an end to the torment? Watching as the hope fades out of my eyes I can feel it fading Someone find and end to this evil symphony in my mind Torn apart and left for dead Slowly feel the anger overtake me Things you've done and things you've said I have never thought that you'd forsake me Look into the dark of night Vengeful heart so full of spite Tear my heart out while it's bleeding Inside of me Keeping my eyes on the prize Rest assured I will arise I spread my wings and I will fly And by my hand you'll surely die
