Arch Enemy
Dawn of Khaos



1. Yesterday Is Dead and Gone

The fire's inside us tonight
These bridges will burn so bright
Tomorrow bears our name
No more power games

Reaching for the light beyond
We will rise through the dark again
Ready to fight for what we believe to be right
Yesterday is dead and gone

Rattling the chains - Shaking the cage
Heed our war cry
Let there be no doubt - we want out
This is reckoning day

We are standing in the flames
Reaching for the sky
Fighting to the end
Yesterday is dead and gone!

Under a blood red sky our voice will be heard
In a world where compassion is lost
You try to control us - this is so absurd
Freedom will be won at any cost

Rattling the chains - Shaking the cage
Heed our war cry
Let there be no doubt - we want out
This is reckoning day

We are standing in the flames
Reaching for the sky
Fighting to the end
Yesterday is dead and gone!

Rattling the chains - Shaking the cage
Heed our war cry
Let there be no doubt - we want out
This is reckoning day

This is reckoning day
Yesterday is dead and gone...


2. No Gods, No Masters

Here I am, back to the wall
I pick the fight against the tide
Free at last, I go my own way
I will resist them 'til the day I die

I am who I am - My time has come!

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come

There is no sacred place, no perfect world
Your head is home, freedom in your heart
Be strong, take this chance
Make your way, a better future calls

I am who I am - My time has come!

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come

No gods, no masters!
No gods, no masters!

What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger
Locked and loaded, ready to strike
Here we stand, loud and proud
United as one, united as one

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come

I am who I am
Take it or leave it
A rebel at heart!
No gods, no masters
My time has come


3. The Oath (KISS cover)

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire bright to the night I take
I fear not

Now compelled by somethin' I cannot see
I go forth surrenderin' to history

Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be

Through a dream I have come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists

Now inside the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns

Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be

I gave my word and gained a key, I gave my heart and I set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly and I wonder, is this really me?

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire bright to the night I take
I fear not

Now compelled by somethin' I cannot see
I go forth surrenderin' to history

Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be


4. My Apocalypse

Sudden implosion of silenced emotions
Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long
Delusions of hope fading away
Dying like leaves on frozen soil

My apocalypse is here
I can feel the end... Coming near

Neglecting existence repulse and repent
An endless journey into the morbid
Whispering voices distorting all senses
Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long

My apocalypse is near
I can feel the end... coming here

The bitter taste of a dying dream
Shine the light on our shadows and illusions


5. Nemesis

We walk this earth
With fire on our hands
Eye for an eye
We are nemesis

We are with you
countless vicious souls
Fight! - Fighting for freedom
United we stand

We are legion
Voice of anarchy
This is revolution
Creating new disorder

We are enemy
Opponent of the system
Crushing hypocrisy
Slaying the philistine

One for all - all for one
we are strong - we are one
Nemesis

A malicious fever burns
In our hearts in our veins
Your blood my blood
All blood runs the same


6. Dead Eyes See No Future (Live)

Giving our blood
To the doomsday machine
Fighting for ravaged land
A worthless gain
Marching on a dead end road

A violent new disorder
Feeding off mistrust
Forgot what we were fighting for
A worthless aim
A victory stinking of despair

Dead eyes
See no future
Falling from grace
We are coming home

Battalions of hate
Seeking shelter in hell
Bloodstained memories
Will we ever be forgiven
Our twisted fate
Time will tell


7. We Will Rise

Tear down the walls
Wake up the world
Ignorance is not bliss
So fed up with second best
Our time is here and now

I am the enemy
I am the antidote
Watch me closely
I will stand up - now

We will rise
Rise above

Stereotype Fools
Playing the game
Nothing unique
They all look the same
In this sea of mediocrity
I can be anything
Anything I want to be

We will rise


8. Revolution Begins

Since the day that you were born the wheels are in motion
Turning ever faster - Play your part in the big machine
The stage is set, the road is chosen
You fate preordained
We are watching you - every step of the way

Never too late to stand your ground - Revolution begins
In you - In me - Revolution!

Once lost - Lost in their game
Mental chains breaking now
Set yourself free
Who are they to tell you what to do?
The stage is not set, the road is not chosen
Your fate not preordained
They are losing control - every step of the way

This is revolution!


9. Ravenous

I am hunting for your soul
It dwells within your heart
I lacerate the pounding flesh
Your spirits shall be mine

So rise my spirit rise!
Revel in this dead mans' body
Grip his soul, sip the blood
Life is death
A holy carnage

Ravenous
I will be your god
Carnivorous Jesus
I need your flesh

Ritual slaughter
Fill up the chalice
With the essence of your life
Liquid strengths
Trapped in your veins
I crave your blood
You must die!


10. Beast of Man

Beware the beast of man
For he is the devils pawn
Alone among gods primates
He kills for sport, lust or greed

The sacred scrolls…
The truth unfolds…

Shun him… or become like him
Shun him… the beast of man

Let him not breed in great numbers
For he will make a desert of his home and yours
Shun him… drive him back into his jungle lair
For he is the harbinger of death


11. Dark Insanity (Live)

Weak and sick I crawl
In the dust of past mistakes
Leaving for the darkness
Of tears and cold heartaches
Suffer in this grief
Of forever burning hate
The ashes of my life
By the torment you create

On my knees…remembering
The wasted years of dark insanity

The rage increases fast
As the memories eat me alive
God, I wish this to end
But I'm not prepared to die
No more a human being
Just a fool of anxiety
Unable to escape
The darkest insanity


12. I Will Live Again (Live)

I don't know
I cannot see
Who we are now
How we used to be

Is it you?
Or is it me?
Look in the mirror
We are a fading memory

Where are we?
We got lost
In the cold

I will live again you'll see - Tomorrow's not scaring me
Far away from yesterday - Just take this pain away

Fatal chaos
Hurtful lies
A broken dream
Is all we left behind

Is it you?
Or is it me?
Look in the mirror
Just a fading memory
