Devil's Law 06:02
Devil's Law She'll bring the mountain down to the tideless shore
 And fill the ocean with her broken bloody thorns 
Black rain descends upon me, eats this hollow soul
 She'll cast a shadow on this land ... forevermore We are the Magistrate of Fury
 And She will find your fatal flaw We are the judge to your jury
 And She will bring the Devil's Law Lady of darkness hears what festers in your mind
 She’ll spin a web of lies and vanquish all your kind
 Unveils a magic spell - Umlacatatoo!
 Now you will follow her into your waiting tomb We are the Magistrate of Fury
 And She will find your fatal flaw We are the judge to your jury
 And she will bring the devil's law Yes, I think it was today - that she took my soul away
 I no longer see my self - Am I lost under her spell?
 Yes, I think it was today - that she took my soul away
 I no longer see my self - I'm lost under her spell! Black rain descends upon me, eats this hollow soul
She'll cast a shadow on us dead forevermore

Blind 05:14
Blind open your eyes to what’s under the sun heading to shadow see what you have done fire up the minions feed them on your fear driving us backwards do you know the year? Are you blind? Have you seen the sky? what have you won once all we have is gone? torture the ground and you ravish the seas how can you sleep as you spread your disease? you hide your head when we dish out the blame science and truth can be one and the same Are you blind? Have you seen the sky? Aren’t you wrong? we could be so strong Yeah the world we’re fighting for Dies without a sound Till the wall of lies comes crashing down… watch for the reaper to sharpen his scythe dire consequences for all of your pride one final poison you drink from the well power and money buy you into hell

Angels of Oblivion sunlight streaming through the glass finds me at my critical mass angel voices drifting past hear a calling from the cloud and the music, clear and loud lead me to my native soil close the door on this mortal coil Angels of Oblivion Demolish my Dream Angels of Oblivion passing time aware that I have been waiting for a sign hands of fate standing firm pave the way for the conqueror worm Angels of Oblivion Deliver my Dream Angels of Oblivion when and where I might arrive keep me free, my spirit alive soaring off to my rebirth I am no longer of this earth…..

Rise of Evil 06:15
Rise of Evil The rise of evil plagued us all our lives As we fell from grace to tomb Woven winds sang silent death march hymns Down the hall of golden ruin The time has come to bare your mercy Feel your will, slip away Elijah reborn prophet of the old Twelve jars of water in his hands The fateful all fall down to their knees Brood of vipers claim their god The time has come to bare your mercy Feel your will, slip away Behold, I pray for you And your soul cast to fire Pools of sorrow surrounding you I come to fulfill desire

Black Machine pounding down your door ripping up the floor silencing your screams The Black Machine watch your every move bound to disapprove a mental guillotine The Black Machine await the fatal kiss the serpent’s bleeding hiss rising and obscene The Black Machine open up your eyes it's madness mechanized the likes you’ve never seen The Black Machine dare not make a sound it spots you in the crowd aiming laser beams The Black Machine

Lycanthropy 04:43
Lycanthropy Remember those words
 Didn't they come to haunt you? 
Leaving a life
 free from us all Seeking of truth
 Once was suspended 
In your lost world 
of flesh and greed Everyone shall crawl to see the light
 Everyone will howl into the night
 Hear the calling of the wizard
 Feel the evil of the night
 Wretched creatures crawling on you
 As you fear for your life I am the wolf
 Cut of blood and fury
 Lycanthropy
...lusting flesh of man Everyone shall crawl to see the light
 Everyone shall howl in to the night
 Hear the calling of the wizard
 Feel the evil of the night
 Wretched creatures crawling on you
 As you fear for your life Bound to this curse
 Under this affliction
 I can not change 
back to mortal man Everyone will crawl to see the light
 You and I shall howl into the night
 Hear the calling of the wizard
 Feel the evil of the night
 Wretched creatures crawling on you
 As you fear for your life

Retronaut 03:42
Retronaut would you try to stop me if you think you can? finding my way backwards before the fall began running from your history lessons never learned blindfolded in mystery when mistakes are returned Retronaut alive Retronaut in time ethical disasters wash up on the shore posing for a death mask all we do is more faces never changing nor whats in the mind action not intention; a thread that we entwine Retronaut alive Retronaut in time shadow my memories Retronaut is traveling marching through the door you can’t un-ring a bell or un-declare a war a page cannot be found the link is obsolete climb upon a paper moon it fell into the street Retronaut alive Retronaut in time curtain of a photo booth closing in the time colors change to black and white words are made to rhyme written in the rune stones shall we disappear? banished into exile falling out down through the years Retronaut alive
