Upwards Of Endtime : From Genesis to Apocalypse and Beyond
Lyrics
1. MEN AT ARMS
A call to arms and off to war
Amass battalions and take to horde
Legions marching and riders ride
Into a future destiny decides
Bear your lance, Render your sword
Bessech your god and praise your lord
Choose your means, Aim true and straight
Court with passing and face with fate
Dispatch forces, In for the kill
Final command, Attack at will
Advancing foward the fighters fight
A clash of throngs, might versing might
Into battle a vanquished caste
Or unsung hero thats laid to waste
The fallen mounting in struggle lie
Out in the field in honour die
Hostile grounds reek of blood and death
The wounded rattle in fleeting breathe
Cracking of bone and crushing skull
Tearing muscle and severing hull
No survivors, Nor captives kept
No remorse for the fallen, Nor tears are wept
No surrender, Theres no retreat
Only a victory, Or than defeat
A call to arms and off to war
Amass battalions and take to horde
Legions marching and riders ride
Into a future destiny decides
No survivors, Nor captives kept
No remorse for the fallen, Nor tears are wept
No surrender, Theres no retreat
Only a victory, Or than defeat
2. DAMNED TO THE UNDERGROUND
A journey ends once again
Still no one knows the name
Another lost soul buried in
A shallow unmarked grave
[Chorus #1]
Damned to the underground,
Your damned to the underground
Bygone forgotten, forever cast
Some memories don't last
Forsaken are the lonely ones
When all is said and done
[Chorus #1]
Damned to the underground,
We're damned to the underground
3. SEARCH FOR LIGHT
Awake to darkness, I search for light
Im hearing voices in the night
For days I wander into the black
Ive lost my way now, No turning back
Although Im looking still I cannot see
Whatevers out there lies In front of me
Out there someone somewhere speaks my name
In the distance dont know from where it came
Hand of God reaches down and out to me
Pulls me towards the light, now I can see... I can see
4. DISAPPEAR
What fate holds in the future
Lays buried in the past
In between excistance
Consequence is cast
Through the eyes of the experienced
Whove seen the end is near
A glimpse into the afterlife
And then they disappear
Spanning but a moment so sudden and its here
Shifting through the coil only to disappear...
[Chorus]
...Disappear
Disappear... disappear
Through the eyes of the experienced
Whove seen the end is near
A glimpse into the afterlife
And then they disappear
Spanning but a moment so sudden and its here
Shifting through the coil only to disappear...
[Chorus]
Disappear... disappear
Disappear... disappear
5. PASSING TIME
I'm wayward in confusion chasing unattainable dreams
Consumed with regret and unfullfilled fantasies
Livin an illusion watching whats left of life slip away
Through the fingers empty handed nothing to show today
Like buried alive
Or dead inside
Whats to offer when theres nothing to give
Just passing time
Until it dies
Seeming hopeless with no reason to live
6. THE SLEEPING DRAGON
Pity those who wake the sleep of the dragon
Dorment she hides in the deep dark within her labyrinth
Lies in waiting in slumber for ages still growing
Like a shadow she hides from the sun neath a cloud of unknowing
Though signs warn shes there threatneing all of her presence
All life that come near are sure to be drained of all essance
The mysteries she holds in these the poor souls shes befallen
Only the fool or the brave will come now to her callin
Surrounding her lair is a curse to beware
So it be said
The treasures she keeps not for mortals to seek
So not be lead
Surrounding her lair is a curse to beware
So it be said
The treasures she keeps not for mortals to seek
So not be lead
Pity those who wake the sleep of the dragon
Dorment she hides in the deep dark within her labyrinth
Lies in waiting in slumber for ages still growing
Like a shadow she hides from the sun neath a cloud of unknowing
Though signs warn shes there threatneing all of her presence
All life that come near are sure to be drained of all essance
The mysteries she holds in these shes befallen
Only the fool or the brave come now to her callin
7. AT LAST
Presence mounted by grains of sand,
Erosion wears away the land
As with each passing away,
Another tier falls to decay
Fractured force, turn takes course
Bound to fade, thrust abraise
Fault effect, nothing left
Broken down into dirt and dust
Remains immersed within the crust
Cinders now the only trace,
Of what once was a monolithic race
Fractured force, turn takes course
Bound to fade, thrust abraise
Fault effect, nothing left
Limit cause, near it draws
Buried past, the end at last
Presence mounted by grains of sand,
Erosion wears away the land
As with each passing away,
Another tier falls to decay
Fractured force, turn takes course
Bound to fade, thrust abraise
Fault effect, nothing left
8. A PRAYER FOR THE DYING
Sign the cross and lower me down
Laid to rest on sacred ground
Bereaved lament in peace I rest
Pray my soul by God be blessed
God forgive have mercy shown
Over my eternal soul
God forgive have sympathy
Over my eternal sleep
(Repeat x2)
Words of the dying a prayer for the dead
God bless my soul as my last rites are read
Pray for forgiveness on this my death bed
God please have mercy hear these words I've said
Sign the cross and lower me down
Laid to rest on sacred ground
Bereaved lament in peace I rest
Pray my soul by God be blessed
9. THE BURNING
I preach the word, he speaks through me
I teach the blind, they learn to see
I am the path if they decide
I am the faith keeps them alive
I give them love, comfort they seek
Ive gianed their trust, through lies I speak
I am the way if you belive the lies
Im resurrection Ill never die
Temptations tainted tables turning
Baptismal boiling, bodies burning
Preacher of prayers, pulpit a pyre
Fodder the flames of the faithfulls fire
I see them crawl so helplessly
I pick them up, bring them their feet
I feed the starved, I am the cord
I give them life they are reborn
I hear them pray so desperatly
I make them strong they are so weak
10. SIGNS
It stands like a monument and lies like a cemetary
Engraved like an epitaph and reads like an obituary
It looms like a cloud and threatens like a sky
Troubles like the water and turns just like the tide
It digs down deep and haunts you like the dead and buried
And bears down hard like the wieght of the cross you carry
It breaks like the dawn and falls like that of grace
Whispers like the wind rolls like tear down the face
Looking for an answer, Searching for a sign
Just beyond all reason, Is this the end of time
11. ALONE
[Chorus]
I sit alone in sadness
A slave to my own madness
Will it ever set me free
I feel the desperation
Onsetting contemplation
Will it ever let me be
My cries unheard unoticed
It seems Im losing focus
Am I just to blind to see
The hurt is getting too much
Ever slightest to touch
All the pain is killing me
[Chorus]
The hurt is getting too much
Ever slightest to touch
All the pain is killing me
12. SHE COMES TO ME IN DREAMS
Close my eyes
Drifting deep
She gives me signs
When Im asleep
Now Im touched
I can feel
BeforE its such
Til it comes real
With two sights
Now forseen
She comes at night
To me in dreams
She comes to me in dreams
Im not imagining
This is something for real
These intuitions I feel
Alone when I awake
She leaves me with just a trace
Only a memory
A sign of what is to be
She comes to me in dreams
Im not imagining
This is something for real
These intuitions I feel
[Chorus]
Soon a reality
All that is shown to me
She comes to me in dreams
She comes to me in dreams
13. FAITH LONG LOST
If its gone... Where did it go
Ask around... Nobodys knows
If its lost... Can it be found
Is it Hell, or Heaven bound
I think I'm goin' down... Going down.
I think I'm goin' down... Going down.
Theres been too much anticipation
Only adds to my frustration
They say its open to interpetation
But I want no part of the intiation
