Van Diemen's Land
08:25
|
|||
|
Head due south to the ice and snow,
East, the way the winds will blow,
Over the mountains the māori all roam,
Van Diemen will show you the way home.
West leads on through the endless seas
Where boat, ship nor vessel may pass through with ease
Van Diemen looks on and laughs for he
Cares naught but for the foreign lands he seeks
Vandemonians united at last
This story i tell you to remember our past
United by shackles of blood and steel
This ruinous island will forever outlast
He Seeks the place of toil and doom
Caves there are those that loom
Forever cold both through and through.
Forever banished, alone, but true.
Vandemonian is the state of terror
That fills the hearts of those that wither
Do not expect to leave unhindered
Nor glimpse a sky of stormless weather
Vandemonians united at last
This story i tell you remember our past
United by shackles of blood and steel
This ruinous island will forever outlast
For those who faltered in trade or trow
Were sent away with fear and by fowl
On to a ship sent way down south
To the apple isle those can not doubt
Burn all the crosses your god is not welcome,
they'll drag you to hell just you try and stop them
Send all your forces for they shall sure forfeit
their lives and their pride so burn all your crosses.
Vandemonians united at last
This story i tell you to remember our past
United by shackles of blood and steel
This ruinous island will forever outlast

Crystal Tide
08:15

Chasing the sun on the crystal tide
convicts of the sea is who you will find,
Stare out and dream of the deep blue night
too much time spent here just wasting our lives
Cant be afraid Walking the shores
our time is up, lets knock on death's door
Chasing the tide not much of a life
buy the the ticket take the ride
The Ride
Look to the north there you shall see
the mainland of men condemns us at sea,
The tide takes us all, we don't get a say
think not of the past, your fortune's today
place of dreams, is only for fools
Follow the tide, a place with no rule
Chasing the tide not much of a life
buy the the ticket, take the ride
The Ride
Crossing the seas, grey skies daunting
Looming overhead, Patience is thin
Approaching too quickly, shelter your self
Time has run out, start praying for help
Crashing around us, skull breaking waves
Flying debree, our lives must be saved
Terror of the night, the darkness surrounds
When its all done, what will be found?
What will be found? What will be found?
Sailing away Sailing away
What will be found? What will be found?
Sailing away Sailing away
The hero's death, not all men seek
those with a heart, destined for glory
Keep your mind set right from the start
falling away yet never apart
two minds strike harder than one
What has been won, a song gone unsung
The future is coming undone
Coming undone
For what has been won?
Death with no glory
Is a song gone unsung

The Walking Gallows
07:59
|

|
9 foot tall
eyes of fire
Built for war
Immense stature
hanging rebels
from the shoulder
Inflictor of cruelty
brutal enforcer
Greenblood flows through his veins,
Thrashing and burning, strangled in chains
Agonies and torment for those who dwell
Suffer the hangman, Messenger of hell
Beware The brutal Giant
Sir Edward the Tall,
Sets fear in your heart
For death you will call
Within Here lies the bones
of the great Heppenstall
Judge and jury,
gallows, rope and all.
Demon of reality,
run from the noose
Wicklow Melitia
Flee if you choose
Agents of terror,
find when you wake
Embrace the struggle
there is no escape
Greenblood flows through his veins,
Thrashing and burning, strangled in chains
Agonies and torment for those who dwell
Suffer the hangman, Messenger of hell
He Walks the streets
Corpse hanging at heels
Cold blooded lieutenant
The fear you will feel
Beware The brutal Giant
Sir Edward the tall,
Sets fear in your heart
For death you will call
Within Here lies the bones
of the great Heppenstall
Judge and jury,
gallows, rope and all.
Any means necessary
what needs to be done
He'll Taunt, you'll scream
until he has won
Gone but not forgotten
Forever in memory
Pain was his purpose
The rebels his enemy
Warped in mind
Horrible deeds
Warped in mind
In Agony
Warped in mind
Warped in mind
Warped in mind
WARPED IN MIND

Crossroads
06:55
|
|||
|
The ones that are gone
Out of my sight
Are the ones that i think of
most in the night
Their own paths were taken
Onwards in life
away from the point
That we shared in time
I often wonder
Where did they end
and if we shall meet
Ever again
In their endeavors
Did they find success
Did they prevail
Are they contempt
The loud inner voice
that i can't avoid
Whispering softly
With my feelings they toy
I pray for a crossroads
where we'll pass together
to join once again
Forever in leather
Are they as Proud of their lives
As i am of mine
Or share this fate with me
'till the end of time
Feelings of torment
regret and pain
fear and obsession
I suffer each day
reminisce of the times
we shared you and i
the good and the bad
The laughs and the sighs
The ups and the downs
My moral demise
The smiles and frowns
To my chest i hold tight
The loud inner voice
that i can't avoid
Whispering softly
With my feelings they toy
I pray for a crossroads
where we'll pass together
to join once again
Forever in leather
Powerless
To this calling i feel
Of my temptations
i know what is real
My will fails me
yes it fails again
Over and over
right till the end
I feel so deflated
I'm troubled within
I strayed from the path
now i'm guilted by sin
I yell at the night
for too long have we bickered
No escape for us
the Damned and the Wicked
The loud inner voice
that i can't avoid,
Whispering softly
With my feelings they toy
I pray for a crossroads
where we'll pass together,
to join once again
Forever in leather

Run Rabbit Run
10:05

My name is Rabbit
And i cannot swim
Although i think i could
My heart weeps from within
They say i am not able
Though i sure disagree
So i will prove them all wrong
Now take me out to sea
Yes I am a rabbit
I'm not the only one
But have you ever seen
A rabbit swim
My troubles have all gone
Maybe I am the one
change this biased fate
But if I'm not the one
please save my son
before it is too late
Too late
Run rabbit run
Play to your given strengths
Your feet are where your power lies
Don't mess around with fins
Run rabbit run
Its not your fate to swim
If you play around in the water now
You'll sure be heaven sent
Run rabbit run
Try and learn to fly
For a rabbit in the water
Is sure as hell to die
Your future's in green pastures
Not the rocky shores at bay
So come on back to solid lands
Let your dreams all float away
RUNNNNNNNNN
RUNNNNNNNNN

Last of My Kind
10:33
|
|||
|
The end draws near for us
Time waits for nobody now
400 years of my life
Somebody please tell me how
We keep above with the stars
Out from the underground
Life for the living is worth
The pain that we suffer now
Broken, biding my time
'Till it's the right time
And when you think
Your fate is set
You must accept
And Fall in line
Infinite time to wait
Stretching my mind too thin
Don't let it be too late
Now's when the dawn begins
Burning it all to waste
Start again fresh, calling in
Favours forgotten to us
Time for the reckoning
Broken, biding my time
'Till it's the right time
And when you think
Your fate is set
You must accept
And Fall in line
4oo years
have i spent on this earth
Biding my time
but the end draws near
This life
is not for the faint of heart
Ruler of the underground
I summon thee now
Wash my hand of those who hate
Wash my soul of haunted fate
You are causing all this pain
Can not rid of your heartache
Time to wait
Mind is set
Focus keeps me true at heart
Determined right from the start
Broken, biding my time
'Till it's the right time
And when you think
Your fate is set
You must accept
And Fall in line
I Have slept
For A long, long time
After 400 years
To prevail, I try
Assailed by doubts
And regret for my life
But i am still young
And I am the Last of My Kind
