Crimson

Take my eyes and see what I have seen
This world is dark and cold, or so it would seem
Rain is falling down, red as can be
A gun points at my throat and fires away
Mortar fire, the shapes of death come forth
Engines cry out, the war machines are running warm
Fight for boarders, an unseen line for us to take
Go forth and die in the cold crimson rain
Machine gun fire flies across the fields
One step closer to eternal sleep
Crawl through the trenches, lean out and aim
Shoot and do it again
Filled by fury, blinded by hate
No more tears to fuel the fire we crave
One false step will lead to certain death
Take me far away from this prison
Dance of death in a crimson moonlight
You won’t see me burn
See us passing through the dead lines
Onto the steps of death we go
There’s no reckoning or tomorrow
When the crimson night carries on, crimson night carries on
Spill our blood for politicians sake
The young perish in the elder’s games
A calculated risk, to reach our goal
For countries ideals we die
On and on throughout enemy lands
Friends we’ve lost lies buried in sand
The ones that’s left, clings on to hope
Of a brand new day rising
Dance of death in a crimson moonlight
You won’t see me burn
See us passing through the dead lines
Onto the steps of death we go
There’s no reckoning or tomorrow
When the crimson night carries on, crimson night carries on
Can you hear the storm drawing closer?
Thunderbolts shakes the ground
Can you feel the rain pour upon you?
A crimson sky lies divine
Spitting back into the face of fear when it comes calling back
Standing strong in the waves that bind you
When the world comes crashing down
Can you sense the air growing colder?
A bleak breath escapes your lungs
Can you see your end fast approaching
The reaper reaching for you throat
Crack of doom, hellfire scorching, lands gone now reshaped
So many lost in the name of conquest
So many lives still at stake

Signals

How do you do?
Can you read?
Transmission sent, but not received?
A dying wavelength on the run
Its final purpose still undone
What lies ahead can’t be seen
No clairvoyance reach that deep
Endless options, too much noise
Are you there when tomorrow comes?
Let it reach out, let it flow
Lost transmissions, muffled noise
Signals come, signals leaves me wanting more
One step forward
Two steps back
A face so certain, soon to crack
Ride the airwaves just for fun
A love connected now undone
Chasing thoughts beyond my years
Hunting wisdom in the air
Another cold day in the sun
I’m still here when a new day dawns
Let it reach out, let it flow
Lost transmissions, muffled noise
Signals come, signals leaves me wanting more
Are you there?
Calling for a voice so distant
Are you here?
Longing for the words I’m missing
Missing in my life
Let it reach out, let it flow
Lost transmissions, muffled noise
Signals come, signals leaves me wanting more

End Of Eternity
06:18

I am timeless
When the eons die, I stand tall
All-consuming nightfall
I am a god, how could things go so wrong?
Oh, how far did I fall, where is that lost humility?
Oh, enlighten me!
Stand before the gates to nowhere
Stand before the twilight years of time
A journey’s end soon to be
At the end of eternity
Where does one run when the
road beneath your feet cease to be
The journey’s end, a certainty
At the end of eternity
I brought order
To countless worlds in need of guidance and security
Always looking forward
But too blind to see that my final days arrived
Oh, how far did I fall, where is that lost humility?
Oh, enlighten me!
Oh, time is cruel, it’s a demon in disguise
Oh, why me?
Stand before the gates to nowhere
Stand before the twilight years of time
A journey’s end soon to be
At the end of eternity
Where does one run when the
road beneath your feet cease to be
The journey’s end, a certainty
At the end of eternity
Oh, how far did I fall, where is that lost humility?
Oh, enlighten me!
Oh, time is cruel, it’s a demon in disguise
Oh, why me?
Stand before the gates to nowhere
Stand before the twilight years of time
A journey’s end soon to be
At the end of eternity
Where does one run when the
road beneath your feet cease to be
The journey’s end, a certainty
At the end of eternity

Come Undone
06:36

Ascension, will we rise, will we fall?
Step by step on a path so dark
Call me out before I’m lead astray
Lash out, push your fingers down my throat
Spewing poison, coughing dirt
Trying to justify these claims
Proceed with caution, red alert
Stubborn masses, no rebirth
Open wounds are what remain
No remorse, no escape
Come undone
March into ruin, march into flames
Come undone
Drown in the ashes, drown in the dust that remains
Blackout, let the memories fade
Mental scaring, blissful haze
Lives flicker, soon to fade away
Relic, seed turned to stone
A fever pitch to consume us all
Still they come to drink from this grail
Proceed with caution, red alert
Stubborn masses, no rebirth
Open wounds are what remain
No remorse, no escape
Come undone
March into ruin, march into flames
Come undone
Drown in the ashes, drown in the dust that remains
Step in the dirt, let the footprints mark the earth
Too late to compromise, our task remains undone
Smoother the silent screams, coming from the crust
No time to hesitate; harvest what we must
Ghostlight flicker in the sun
Stories told now simply gone
Search for reason in this blight
Lost all sense of what is right
Ghostlight flicker in the sun
Stories told now simply gone
Proceed with caution, red alert
Stubborn masses, no rebirth
Open wounds are what remain
No remorse, no escape
Come undone
March into ruin, march into flames
Come undone
Drown in the ashes, drown in the dust that remains

Down The Road

Move one step closer, turn around walk away
Look for a pattern, is it there?
Who can say?
Search for a call, yet you’ve done that before
Kneeling, bleeding, needing
Yeah, you’ve done that before
Come take me down that road again
Come turn the room around my friend
As thoughts crash down, one must not let go
Keep holding on, like a rock in the storm
Take a look ahead, tell me; what do you see?
The colors are off, the motif too bleak
Try to keep straight, down this long crocked road
Stumble, rumble, tumble
Down this long crocked road
Come take me down that road again
Come turn the room around my friend
As thoughts crash down, one must not let go
Keep holding on, like a rock in the storm
Come on, now tear it down
Come on, now tear it down
Don’t pull me down without you
Come on, now tear it down
Come on, now tear it down
Don’t leave me stranded in disgrace
Don’t pull me down
Don’t pull me down without you
Don’t pull me down
Don’t pull me down without you

Fear and anger, I’m a god born to destroy
A thousand men can’t bring me down
Look through the window, see a world tossed aside
I’m too strong to touch the ground
Stand up for changes
Stand up for might
Every disciple must fight this fight
Stand up for order
Stand up for light
Tears of blood will flow tonight
Bow down to the lord of madness
Bow down to the king of a thousand thrones
Strike hard, take no chances, in my mind this kingdom is full of gold
Take my eyes for what I’ve seen
And then give thyself to me
We will burn forever
Starlight shatters into the great unknown
Breath in the fire, let the fumes ignite the sky
See a universe come crashing down
Into the vortex, thoughts lost in space and time
We welcome thee, eternal night
Stand up for changes
Stand up for might
Every disciple must fight this fight
Stand up for order
Stand up for light
Tears of blood will flow tonight
Bow down to the lord of madness
Bow down to the king of a thousand thrones
Strike hard, take no chances, in my mind this kingdom is full of gold
Take my eyes for what I’ve seen
And then give thyself to me
We will burn forever
Starlight shatters into the great unknown

Celestial

The yellow brick road leads us all to shame and despair
Call me home to the feast again
Smooth Kashmir pulls me closer to the breaking point
Grim reaper face me if you dare
A thin line of love combines us through the cosmos
What was once predicted will come to pass
We are all children of the starlight
Take a deep breath and live again
So full of life but it doesn’t matter in the end
It’s still the sun that rules the sky
Face the demons, ideas of years long past must die
Reinvention comes to those who fight
A thin line of love combines us through the cosmos
What was once predicted will come to pass
We are all children of the starlight
Take a deep breath and live again
Tales of old, can they linger on in my memory?
Serenity comes to us at last
Can you hear the voice from the space between spaces?
Or will the ignorance silence the call?
Dimensions crumble the stars grow older
Celestial bodies rest in their tomb
See the night turn to day, come and take me away, the white noise is fading
I am me once again
This is the end
Hear the doomsday clock sing again
Do you draw the line
When both angels and demons pass you by?
This is the end
Hear the doomsday clock sing again
Do you draw the line
When both angels and demons cast you aside?

Heard literally one song from this album, bought the whole discography without a second thought. It's great for someone to make a strong album, but it's damn impressive to make 4 in about as many years. Awesome!
