'...For Victory' As daylight returns The fires of hope still burn Crawl through darkened light Sickened by the mournful sight Tears fall from eyes Not sure what has been done Sorrow creeps throughout my soul All is lost, none have won The battle smoke remains Begin to feel the pan Alone now stagger on Unsure how it begun Through time war prevails Thoughts, fears cast aside Face the consequence alone With honour - Valour - Pride As fire fills the sky We once believed in life Now time to die ...For victory [...For victory] Now in deaths glory Mans final destiny The final price to pay ...For victory "They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them." "We will remember them" 5. 'Graven Image' Words cannot explain Darkest thoughts within the mind Centuries of hatred Now subside Commencing the birth Of new life Rise from the wreckage of the past Words cannot explain The feeling agony within Anguish summoned Perception begins All secrets now revealed You cannot win Searching in hope of a new age All feelings put aside Numbed by the vision Nothing left alive Facing devastation Awakened in remorse To rebuild from destruction Recreate life's evolution No chance for redemption All life now ceased Pleading for forgiveness There shall be no peace 6.

To have no faith - Yet still believe To have no faith - But not deceived To have no faith - In all the lies To have no faith - Now as we die 8. 'Forever Fallen' [Holy wars] Driven onwards Past the point of no return Into the unknown Of lessons never learnt Their names - Immortal Remembered evermore In memory of glory Forever fallen Standing proud Battles raging all around Fading past The revelations abound Anger predominates the mind Gathering all strength Tenacity is found Tenacity is found Honour now forgotten Fear lost inside Despair no longer At all wasted life Their names - Immortal Remembered evermore In memory of glory Forever fallen Now forgotten - All thoughts of years gone by Fallen forever - Forever fallen Life denied 9. 'Tank (Mk.I)' As innocence dies All tranquillity subsides Running trepidation Isolated now Separating all ideas Must escape but how With no loss of pride Terror emerges from inside Screaming from within Taste the smell of fear Feeling in the air Damnation drawing near No beauty in this death Encased forever Powerless to resist As life, life slips away... away No cries of pity No reasons to repent We have condemned the future Life cheaply spent Technology arise There shall be no compromise The stunned arrival Followed by the blind Helplessly now falling Leaving life behind 10. 'Armageddon Bound' On the edge - Spirit begins to break Chances unsure - Not much more you can take Weakness grows - Nerves start to crack Far from safe - There is no turning back A fine line - Between victory and defeat At the midpoint - Uncertainty complete Confusion prevails - Unsure which way to move Holding no hope - There is nothing more... nothing more to prove Trying to discover what is right And what is wrong Judged by false criteria Ideals strong Misfortune predictable Lessons learnt before Decisions now justified Perpetuate this war This battlefield wide open No territory gained Within this wasteland Humanity constrained Here in no mans land No mercy can be found Delirious perspective Armageddon bound. 11. 'World Eater '94' [World Eater] As silence roared through the gathered masses You stared awaiting eagerly Approaching darkness, decreasing your life expectancy The tension is now rising The calm before the storm See you life flash before you Will you live to see the dawn? The enemy is now approaching With bloodlust in their eyes Intense fear is overcoming For now death - You will defy As the battle raged all dead and wounded Bodies, carnage all you see The white hot blast - Melting flesh The searing ain is agony You stand alone The final parody As you realise - Your mortality For you cannot chance your destiny To die at the hands - Of the unknown enemy Your death - You can't deter As the silence - [Once more] returns World-eater 12 'Overlord' A time for peace, a time for war Time moving onwards forever more A time to live, a time to die Hypocrisy, now denied Life [?] Blood flows cold Contempt overruns the soul draining deep inside The litany abide Embraced by terror No place to hide Face the final judgement Compassion now slowly dies Stripped of all sanity Installed a new reality Overlord supremacy Vengeance now implied Embraced by terror No place to hide Face the final judgement Compassion now slowly dies Now free from strain Existence drains away Fallen as the rain To be lost in life's pin Now [...] Can comprehension fit in? You stretched beyond capacity[?] Vengeance shall be mine
