Memoriam To the End 1. Onwards into Battle Onwards into battle one more time The strategy has been planned Passed down from the high command Calm befalls the frontline Prepared to fight ready to die At the point of no return The tension mounts as thoughts converge At zero hour the order comes On the silence of the big guns Across the wire Through the crossfire Keep pushing on All senses gone Into the breach Brutality unleashed Fighting for your life Fist, boot and trench knife Onwards Onwards into battle one more time Onwards Onwards into battle one more time The triumph of this victory Vanquished are the enemy Moving onwards another war Into battle to fight once more 2. This War Is Won Passed down the years the legend told Tales of glory new and old Stories of valor from the past Triumphant legacy that lasts In honor of all that has been achieved Against all the odds proud to succeed Victorious when all said and done This war is won History now resonates Senescence configurates Memories of the past now gone Time forever moving on You'll never understand None of this was ever planned We've seen things you'll never see Created our destiny Future within your hands Strive to be the best you can Whilst conscience still remains Keep on until the end Passed down the years the legend told Tales of glory new and old Stories of valor from the past Triumphant legacy that lasts In honor of all that has been achieved Against all the odds proud to succeed Victorious when all said and done This war is won History now resonates Senescence configurates Memories of the past now gone Time forever moving on You'll never understand None of this was ever planned We've seen things you'll never see Created our destiny Future within your hands Strive to be the best you can Whilst conscience still remains Keep on until the end 3. No Effect What you give is what you get No remorse no regret Those that take offense They have no influence Pay no attention to what haters say Their words are empty actions convey With assurance ever on display Spirit and courage will guide the way What you reap is what you sow People come and people go The journey may be long This aspiration is still strong They try to rule you, they try to fool you, with no effect They decry you, criticize you, with no effect They try to use you, try to abuse you, with no effect They deny you, they despise you, with no effect You call me your enemy I'll thrive on this enmity Condemn me and you shall see Above negativity My conscience will remain You cannot cause me pain As darkness now unfolds In the shadows of my soul What you give is what you get No remorse no regret Those that take offense They have no influence Pay no attention to what haters say Words are empty actions convey With assurance ever on display Spirit and courage, will guide the way Guide the way 4.

Each Step (One Closer to the Grave) Death draws near day by day Each step one closer to the grave Live every moment like it's your last Moving forward but don't forget the past Each step one step closer to the grave Each step one step closer to the grave Time moves fast through the decades Like celestial spheres that never fade Destiny is written within the stars Believe in yourself remember who you are Hold your head up high in defiance Heed the words and follow the guidance Life is short but love is timeless In the end, there is only silence 6. To the End This battle done Defenses overrun Weaponry now spent Ammunition gone Dissipating battle smoke Carnage now exposed Stench of death fills the air Bodies decompose Amongst the wreckage None left alive The last man standing The only to survive But where our desires are and our hopes profound Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight To the innermost heart of their own land They are known as the stars are known To the night To the end Dissipating battle smoke Carnage now exposed Stench of death fills the air Bodies decompose Amongst the wreckage None left alive The last man standing The only to survive All is lost Nothing now exists Devastated landscape Stare into the abyss No sign of life Complete destruction This grim reality Total annihilation As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain As stars that are starry in the time of our darkness To the end, to the end, they remain To the end They remain 7. Vacant Stare Enduring images that cannot be unseen Inhumanity reality obscene Beyond repugnance Beyond the dread Visions of horror In the mind now spread With a vacant stare In the void thoughts subliminal Unoccupied situation critical Nothing inside emotion minimal Conscience deprived state conditional Driven by fear hatred cynical Feelings surreal unpredictable Empty within parasitical Darkness within non-equivocal Repeating nightmares Recollection from the past Bitter reminders That will always last Never-ending Ceaseless pain Constant memories Driving you insane With a vacant stare Recollecting memories nightmares within Unconnected detached from everything My mind now empty nothing left to give Questioning existence I have no will to live Repeating nightmares Recollection from the past Bitter reminders That will always last Never-ending Ceaseless pain Constant memories Driving you insane With a vacant stare Vacant stare With a vacant stare Vacant With no feelings My body aches This emptiness Not much more I can take This constant weight Forever pushing down Inside I scream Yet no one hears a sound No one hears a sound Vacant 8. Mass Psychosis Mass Psychosis Feel the pressure pushing down Tension building all around Body shaking nerves exposed Delirium uncontrolled All sense of sanity now cast away Insecurities normality decays Hysteria in magnitude thoughts in disarray Paranoia fills the soul lunacy now reigns Lunacy now reigns Mass Psychosis Lunacy now reigns Mass Psychosis Emotional retraction lost inside the void Disconnected from everything mentally destroyed No fight left an empty shell Dead inside a living hell Beyond fear beyond all hope One step away from this killing Mass Psychosis 9. As My Heart Grows Cold bear witness tragedy the burden of the years accepting consequence, no bitterness no tears as my heart grows cold this is our history a story that is shared of a life that is complete that to none compare though in the darkest hours the nightmares still return distant reminders that the scars still burn and so, it goes the tale of shipwrecked souls smashed into the rocks cast away forever as my heart grows cold coalescing memories of joy and sorrows held all forgiveness and redemption now expelled this solemn countenance holds more than meet the eye it would take a better man, a better than i and so, it goes the tale of shipwrecked souls smashed into the rocks cast away forever as my heart grows cold bear witness tragedy the burden of the years accepting consequence, no bitterness no tears as my heart grows cold it would take a better man, a better man than i with no forgiveness this solemn countenance holds more than meet th eye with no forgiveness it would take a better man, abetter man than i
