What You've Done
03:32
|

What you’ve done
Is committed sins
Of the highest order
What you’ve done
Was betray the trust
And sent me up the creek
This atrocity
(Something inside you)
Drove you not to feel
Made the act worthwhile
Told you it was right
(And nothing inside you)
Feels the slightest bit of grief
(Something inside you)
Said stamp it with your heel
Made it easy for you to smile
Told you red was white
Tried to change your belief
(What you’ve done)
Laid waste to lands
So bountiful and green
Awakened something
Long thought dead in me
What! You’ve! Done!
You burned the lands and
Made the skies turn black
What you’ve done
Was kill a world
So many held so dear
This atrocity
You gathered your soldiers
The weak minded fighters
The pawns you would use in your game
You gave out your orders
And watched as the borders
And watched as the world set aflame
Blood is everywhere

The Aftermath
04:26

Working through so many feelings
Watching the burning and dead
Strung out and tired and beaten
Just wanna lay here in bed
We’re defeated
For the world, that we see
I admit, in a partner, was me
And beside my allies
We were fooled by their pleasant disguise
They were wise
I see the aftermath
Fruits of the treason
How’d we incur the wrath
Where was the reason
We see the aftermath
Season after season
Walking the only path
Without a mission
No remorse or Charity
Now we have Disparity
We hide
Trying to sleep with these feelings
my mind always drifting ahead
Remembering Highland and Rogan
The battles that made the land red
We were beaten
For the world, that we see
We chose exile for our families
In this town where we hide
We are cut off from all our allies
They were wise
This is the end for me
Nothing else can i foresee
My shame has lead me here
Not strength, just fear
The end is near
The end

Angry Again
03:31

NO!
We will not be cast aside
We will not give up our pride
Watch this face cuz i’m coming for you
I don’t care what it takes
Because we’re coming for you
You better batten down the hatches
Cuz it’s gonna get bloody
Lace em up cuz we got something to do
I don’t care what it takes
Cuz we go not something to do
We’ve got to sharpen all the edges
Cuz it’s time to get lucky
I look at the the square where
So many died
And i’m burning inside
Yeah i’m burning inside
Cause i’m angry again
Got a fire inside
I know what we have to do
No more can we hide
Watch this face cuz i’m painting in green
Might’ve made my mistakes
But i’m painting in green
You’d better eat up while you can
Cuz in awhile you’ll have nothing
Grab your gear cuz it’s time to get mean
When the dam breaks
Yeah it’s time to get mean
We have to get it all together
Cuz the weight is crushing
I think of the graves
Where you buried alive
And i’m burning inside
I’m burning inside
Echoes of hope
Rumors of friends
Gotta find a way
To find them
Gotta find a way
To make them believe
I gotta find a way
Their hope i must get

The Waiting Room

THE WAITING ROOM
Seems to me
Your inner misery
Is the only honest thing about you
And yet
What you see
Your fractured destiny
You think you've beaten me
Payback overdue
I will reach
From the depths
And pull you into my fire
I will watch
As you destroy yourself
And watch your allies conspire
Look at you
You're in the waiting room
Blaming everybody around you
You're a fallen tree
What you say
You're poise is overplayed
Your friends will break away
Four-two fighting through
Watching and waiting
My hatred abating
Replaced with equating
Your fear with actions
The constant infractions
You think your distractions
Are anything solid they’re
Really just nothing to me

Bad Star

BAD STAR
Is it worth it to know
That someday we’ll show
How the land was taken and burned
We severed the ties
We left with our lives
We know that a lesson was learned
And here we come again
There’s a change in the wind
A shift in the gravity
We’ll fall away
One look and you’ll see
Bad star it burns in me
We look to the sky
We see the bad star
Disaster arrives
Next chapter arise
We Sound the war cry
Frozen in torment
A chapter hung still
Our war raged inside
Then it happened again
We remembered the sin
And now it’s time to ride
And here we come again
Out here, our homes so far away
We face the ones you lead astray

A flash of light and my spike is away
Then i’m climbing
A blackened angel and i’ve something to say
To the hiding
Why am i here
I’d be amiss if i didn’t explain
If the intel is good
We have a shot at levelling the plane
I doubt it will work
Cuz what i offer is a gesture
Do i think that he would
Hell no cuz for that he’d need to be sane
I’m going in
Hopefully no one will see
So far so good
Time to do the deed
Wake up
It’s time to talk
Wake up
We’re gonna have some words
Wake up
Can you see the blade
Are you ready to end what you made
The room is dark but
I can still see your face
In the moonlight
Your hands are shaking
I can see them
Go for the knife
Don’t you move
You’re surprised to see me again
Did you miss me?
I said don’t move i’ll cut your throat myself
I’m here to talk
I’m here to give you another chance
To end your life
With what honor you have left
I’m here to give you a choice
You can die on the field or right here
I’m here to give you a chance
Fall on the sword or impale on a spear
I’m here to give you this note
What honor you’ve left can be defined right here
In vein i give a shot
Quickly now i disappear
I knew before i came
Fool hearted to believe
To accept you must be sane
Someday soon i believe you will bleed

Cry Havoc...
04:14
|

You saw me, you feared me
And so you want to fight
We now see, What you’ll be
You think you have the right
Outrageous, your cage is
You think you have the might
The change is contagious
And now we start the fight
We will proceed with
the path we all need
Cry havoc
and let slip the dogs of war
The hammer will drop and
we will walk through the door
Cry havoc
and make boots hit the floor
The plan we are forming
echoes the corridor
You haunt me, derail me
Because you want to fight
You want me, on my knees
You think you have the right
You want us, to mistrust
Anywhere but in the light
Your slaves will, be hate filled
Our side they chose to fight
Together we stand
to defend our homeland
And the war we will win
Is about to begin
Weathered and beaten
Our voices are legion
Battered and hurting
Our brothers are calling
The four- two is calling
The Black Angels’ calling

Coded Message
03:21
|

We’ve waited long enough
It’s time to get em primed
Time now for a mission
long awaited and perfectly timed
It’s time to get the word out
It’s time to set ablaze
This kingdom time has come
It’s time to invade
This is a coded message
One to our allies near and far
Now is the time for courage
Now’s time to show them who we are
This is a secret missive
Now is the time to take up arms
We will not be derisive
We’ll simply place a crown of thorns
They’ve waited long enough
It’s time they felt our rage
Time for retribution
Four- two will take the stage
Not just a tender flame
A fuckin' conflagration
This kingdom’s time is made
It insults creation
You will see and you will hide
The anger you supplied
You will try and you will fail
Insurgence will prevail

Gazing at the rubble
Feel my stomach start to ache
Used to be a busy street
What was here was very dear to me
Walking down the street
Where i used to call my home
Still has its inherent grace
You can still hear the voice of pain
Watching from the hilltop i can see
Vivid colors talking back at me
What have they done to my city
Eyes welling up, someone comfort me
Soldiers walk the street
People cower where they fall
This place of pain and sorrow
Where once was only joy
Close my eyes
I can see the way it used to be
How can we achieve the dream
The people need a voice again
The seasons change
The beauty remains
The colors they stay with me
And they’re always in my mind
Within the rain
The cleansing pain
The colors they are wonderful
And always in my mind
People accept the way
Believing they will never see the light
Never knowing freedom
Or the angels in the midst

Ozymandias
03:33

My thoughts keep going back
To the walk in the city
I saw the suffering and i
Knew what was to come
I hope the people think
Of us with warm memories
The time is coming
Our time is coming
And when the kingdom falls
The darkness will end and a brighter time begins
The crown you made of blood and pain
Will remind you of your sin
I wrote a letter today
I told her everything
I never got to say
I hope she understands
The time is coming
Our time is coming
You call yourself a king of kings
When all you have is a crown and rings
You claim to have a mighty rule
Everything falls, you’re still a fool
You call yourself the king of men
Then make yourself a victim again
How can you rule when all you do
Is bury everyone but you
Sad little king on a sad little hill

The Penalty Is Death
03:00
|

Listen up listen up
You know what we do
What time is it men
It’s time to move
If we get caught
We burn at the stake
I’m sure they’ve been waiting
Oh i’m sure they have waiting
The penalty is death
We all know this
The penalty is death!
It’s a price we pay
We die! We’re soldiers
We fly! It’s the only way
Got a plan guys
You know what to do
Insurgency now
Time to put ‘em through
The very same hell
That drove us away
We have been waiting
It’s time cuz
Wandering through the exile
Only furthered the fire
What we face is worth it
If the others hear our cry
I’d rather face you down
Than try to forget
The penalty is death

Revolt!
I choose a life of meaning
Rather die than to see you rule
One thing to know
Before you go
You’re ‘bout to learn the
Meaning of the word cruel
Look into my eyes
See the fruit of your fiction
One thing to see
It would never be me
You always hate
The monster you create
(Revolt) We’re coming for you
(Revolt) Nothing you can do
(Revolt) We don’t believe your lie
(Revolt) Time to say goodbye
I choose a life of meaning
Rather die than to let you live
One thing to know
Before you go
There’s not a fucking thing
To save you from my blade
See into my soul
Find the fruit of your lies
One thing to see
It would never be me
You always hate
The monster you create
We’re biding our time and
The anger is working
FOUR-TWO
FIGHTING THROUGH!
