(chorus)
Rip away the carefree, unruly and filthy
The day has come, broken, once free minds, imprisoned
Taught what to say and what to do, all must abide by the rules
A shattered will, a tainted view, converted to a new you
(verse)
Hungry to the core but they’ll never know what they’re fighting for
Welcome to the detention cell, then cast them into consumer hell
Naturally, though immature, their guts screams to rebel
Treachery done unto them, as we concede their innocence
(chorus) repeat
(bridge)
Shame we cannot behold how the eyes of youth see the world
(chorus) repeat

(verse 1)
Feel the rush consumed by terror, the moment closes in, this time it’s real
The surge before imminent death, unfamiliar to what happens next
Will the spirit ascend to eternal bliss or do we lay silent in sheer darkness?
(chorus)
All you love will rot away, in the end we turn to dust anyway
Doubt not the unknown, though if you may, provide some peace clinging to your faith
Beyond the flesh unto the grave, no guarantee we will be saved
(verse 2)
Dark conception, vanishing sanity, all sentient beings cease to exist
What once was warm and full of life will eventually turn cold at night
(chorus) repeat
(bridge)
Impending surrender, give in there’s no survival, erasing a blunder, uncharted world swept under
Merciful salvation, accept your termination, unwanted sensation, now face your own damnation
(outro)
We remain nameless alive or dead
All we’ve done means nothing in the end
We will never know what lies ahead
All we love we hope to see again

Malevolence

(verse 1)
Mind prison…
Robotic motion resembling a face drools deceitful slogans of hate
Fooling the weak into perpetual mind prison
(chorus)
Dancing to the tune of the suffering
So naïve, so oblivious, so fractured
Manifesting for years in plain sight
So malcontent, hell bent to destroy
(verse 2)
So hell-bent…
The overstimulated cortex oozes from every orifice
While fantasizing the perks of purging the soul
(chorus) repeat
(bridge)
The modern day slacker hell bent and malcontent
A mental disorder manifesting for years
In a binary alternate reality
Black or white, chose your side or die
(verse 3)
The loudest voices suffer the ultimate self-inflicted concussion
Fooling the weak into perpetual mind prison
(chorus) repeat
(outro
Shell shocked beyond rehabilitation
Black glazed eyes seek only blood

Delirium

(verse 1)
We have been chosen, before me lies our fate
We are connected, can you sense it emanate?
Just before the words leave your lips the shockwave hits, the illusion slips
Close my eyes, hope to reprise, I’m never content, no no not by sunrise
Curiosity stirs in head full of questions, I ask myself, is this reality or delusion? No
(chorus)
Pierced by enduring stare all the answers unwind amidst your presence
In my dreams the loyal smile I recognize
Short lived it’s never enough, the horizon blurs and turns to fire
Falling down to the earth betrayed again by my own desire. Fall
Spanning across all dimensions our spiritual bond is forged
(verse 2)
Am I yearning for admission? I am visible?
Am I susceptive to deception? Losing all control
Just before I fall to my knees the apparition speaks, but you’re just out of reach
Self-manipulation, unconscious assassin, assured I cannot thrive without your direction
Submersed in a complex game, psychotic power, a lunatic’s reign
(bridge)
The flesh is paralyzed while the soul scours the heavens, deserts and the oceans
At last a glimpse of life, an elusive light flickers at the furthest edges of the universe
This dim phantasm comes into focus, I knew we would meet again, as insane at it may seem
Cosmic waves crash before us as I beg to know, beg to know your name and I realize we are one in the same
(chorus) repeat

Technocracy
06:46
|
|||
|
(verse 1)
Drifting far from humanity
Neglecting natural needs of our being
Dying to outlive our mortality
Come liberate us from the hollow horde
(verse 2)
Converging cybernetic fantasy
Conceived by selfish urgency
Blinded by luminous ecstasy
We are damned to virtual reality
…in a world we make believe
(chorus)
Deep into the abyss we call home
Caressed by darkness alone
No past, no future, no hope on our own
Behold our wasteland to roam
You rescued me in my dream
Where we were whole again
I watched your soul overcome
We were united and together we broke free (from our technocracy)
(verse 3)
Relying upon the machines we create
Beguile desires, trans-human fate
Adhere to the new religion of our time
Come liberate us from the hollow horde
…we were meant for so much more
(chorus) repeat
(outro)
We long to be free…
Oh what have we become? What the hell have we done?
Oh what have we become? What the hell have we done?
Live love lost all our lives, habitual transgression idolized
Live love lost all our lives, I reject the religion of our time
Live love lost all our lives, automated eyes peer inside
Live love lost all our lives, I deny the god the fool designed
All our lives are all lies

Pain

Pain I feel
(verse 1)
Far too young ripped from our hearts, fighting back the tears in your name
Deep denial turned to anger, words cannot describe the pain, the pain I feel
(verse 2)
We’re unfit to fathom why, what would inspire one to take another’s life?
The underworld scum society, did not have to take away the dream
(chorus)
Honor our brother well, reveal the truth, uphold the light
Remember your father well, the pain you feel in time will heal
(verse 3)
Our cruel world strikes again, chip away at faith in fellow man
Without father, without sin, left behind beloved children
(chorus) repeat
The pain I feel

World Fell Apart
04:31
|
|||
|
(intro)
Awake, to a world void of purity
Where temptation devours the weak
All innocence erased, cast down in flames
Persevere as though we are gods
Know we cannot alter the odds
Though balance will prevail
Just let it go
(verse 1)
Advised to be kind, shun evil and maligned
To resist the heartless and demons intertwined
Tested at the ripened age, virtues earned cease to remain
Sooner or later we shall succumb, one by one... one by one
(chorus)
He who faces his demise transforms into a wraith
In my eyes can’t you see? We can’t escape our fate
Will it ever leave, will it ever ease, the pain in my heart
While I’m left here knowing why my world fell apart
(verse 2)
Born for survival, perpetually at war
Spread thin, collapsing, under pressure we give in… again
(chorus) repeat
(verse 3)
Appear so sincere, but symbolically spread fear
Those who lead, those who bleed, mass hysteria they feed
A youth’s heart yearns for love while the jaded hates the world
The rival of ideals rages on in me… till the end
(chorus) repeat

Predecessor

|
(verse 1)
Sleepless nights are filled with wonder
My body rests with troubles on the mind
Show this life has so much to offer
Struggling for meaning for my own
(chorus)
One day we all pass on
Prepare for the world when I’m gone
The wicked men say the golden rules dead (now)
(verse 2)
Do what must be done like any decent man
Upon your shoulders lies the weight of the world
When days grow long just keep pushing on
Awaken by the burden and back at it by dawn
(chorus) repeat
Go son, prove them wrong, one day we all pass on

Revelation
05:43
|

|
(verse 1)
Left behind, the wish we once shared
The fire in my soul is now ash of despair
Longing for answers, tap at the keys
Tip up the bottle to relive the memory
Tunnel vision, some say obsession
Encased in glass, trapped in a one-way mirror
(verse 2)
Young, numb, I fell in line
To feed the need, to protect my own kind
I reap what I sow, subordinate role
Smiles in old pictures are haunting my restless soul
(chorus 1)
No time to strive, abort the ambition drive
Surrender the past, those days are never coming back
Some walk the Earth never see the light
(verse 3)
Alive at last, clearly I see
All along you were right in front of me
Old, wise, grateful in time
Finally keen to true meaning of life
Step through the gate, go forth with no regrets
Empowerment, I avow I live for you
(chorus 2)
Now is the time, engage maximum overdrive
No time to waste, the fate of our force is interlaced
Heed my advice, live like you’re never gunna die
Some walk the Earth never see the light

Oblivion
06:16
|
|||
|
(verse 1)
The bittersweet vengeance I taste on my tongue split down the middle in two
One side compassion, the other reason, which side shall I choose for you
Say your prayers
(chorus)
Fuel fear churning the masses, hostile and yearning for more
When the lie becomes truth we are lost we are doomed, spiraling into the sun
The world burns with or without us, behold the ring of fire
We will never live forever, march on righteous warrior into oblivion
(verse 2)
Nomadic emotion, erratic portray, exploit yourself while you’re insane
So put on a show, display for the fools, convince them you are not to blame
(chorus) repeat
(bridge)
All we know, see, think and feel, precise calculation formulated to seem real
Clashing ideologies, hijacked philosophies, utopian fantasies, try and rewrite our history
Force fed diversity for coveted nobility, beware the elite preaching inequality
Pinning one another to fight against your brother, remember we are born free
Only time will tell if we have the courage to transcend our disparity
March on righteous warrior, to the end
(chorus) repeat

I didn't think I even liked power metal. Sacred Outcry is above and beyond any power metal I've heard all my life. Towers of Gold is a spectacular achievement with soaring vocals and hard hitting guitar riffs. This is a genre that's rife with excess and Towers of Gold is a back-to-basics guitar-centered dream
