2. Chain Of Command
They sit in silence as we march into war
There we will fight with our backs to the wall
No end in sight cities one by one they fall
Children screaming in the night as we answer the call
CHAIN OF COMMAND united we stand
Onward to victory the CHAIN OF COMMAND
How will
we know if it’s worth fighting for ?
They made it a game and we become the pawns
Decisions they make never give us a choice
Why do we stand for the CHAIN OF COMMAND ?
Distant warriors our dreams are so longer seen
Innocent lives shattered in vain.
No! Why are we here ?
Do they really care ?
Red skies light the way home
Give them my life is what they believe
Sacrifice our rites to live in peace and liberty
What we believe is we fight to be free
Chaos in nations forming insufficient greed
They sit in silence as we march into war
Together we must stand for the CHAIN OF COMMAND
3. Shadow Thief
Figures fly across a moonlit bay
Without a sound a figure slips away
Terror strikes a child inside my soul
Shadow Thief will soon play a role
Silent assassin clothed in black
Who will play the pawn in his next attack
Many men have lost their lives
at the hands of Shadow Thief
A master of an ancient skill handed down by priests
Trained in every weapon
known to man and known to beast
Shadow Thief becomes the night
The night becomes Shadow Thief
Silent assassin clothed in black,
I can see his next attack
A dozen men have all gathered round
One by one they hit the ground
Shadow Thief cannot be found
Many men have lost their lives
at the hands of Shadow Thief
A master of an ancient skill handed down by priests
Trained in every weapon
known to man and known to beast
Shadow Thief becomes the night
The night becomes Shadow Thief
4. She Waits
She walks in the street's at midnight
Full moon shines in her hair
A victim of circumstances blinded by fear
She's stalking her prey she's looking for
To be set free, Misleading all men with open arms
And false security
Lost in the shadows of times long ago
Look for the answer how does she know.
She waits to be released from chains set long ago
She waits to sleep silent again
She waits to be released from a pain she didn't know
She never understands the pain
Passion runs deep inside her soul
She's cursed for their sins
Search for a friend she may never know
The peace that lies within
She journeys forever she's lost in the night
She's forced to stalk again
Walking the streets she's hoping to find
An end to her shame
Lost in the shadows of times long ago
Look for the answer how does she know.
5. Ride Through The Storm
Run to a place where you can hide
Once hearing the warnings
Never to know what's waiting there
Maybe you'll find some peace of mind
Once you know where you're going
Live your life without despair
I don't know why we live a lie
Our lives are scorned again
Nothing's the same it's always a change
And there I'll go
Ride, Ride through the storm
Breaking the chains
Leaving once more
Ride, Ride through the storm
Cutting the ties long ago
Leaving once more
How did I know that this was coming again
Deceit in your heart it's still in your eyes
Burning desire has it left you in the night
Slipping away and it's leaving me here
I don't know why I play the game
The end is all the same left all alone
I hang my head
6. In A Gadda Da Vida
[Iron Butterfly cover]
In a gadda da vida, baby
(In the Garden of Eden)
In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand
In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
In a gadda da vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand
In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
In a gadda da vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand
In a gadda da vida, baby
(In the Garden of Eden)
In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand
7. Never Surrender
They run to the plains as their heads hang in silence
Losing their faith as their lives fade away
Dreams of their lifetime
Honor dissolves as the night's cold, growing still
Never Surrender, Never Surrender
Wait and you lose all your hope.
Surrender
Lord of the night will arrive and strike at your soul
Till they take you down.
Turn back to battle as screams turn into nightmares
Masked by the night advance take them down
Dreams of their lifetime
Honor dissolves as the nights cold , growing still
Surrender
They run to the plains as their heads hang in silence
Losing their faith as their lives fade away
8. Burning Heart
Cries in the night
Shadows move through familiar doorways
History replays
Leading, repeating mistakes we made
Vice in your eyes
Burning black with lost compassion
Cast me away
Desire is gone when all the passion is lost
Burning heart
Bleeding on now forever
Torn apart
Leading on now forever
I hear your voice
Echoes emptying on forever
Silence steals the night
Calling me back miles away
9. Sworn To Silence
Rise to the order of a supreme society
Strike down rebellion control identity
SWORN TO SILENCE
Enslaved by the memories lost to them
SWORN TO SILENCE
Communication is lost again
Live by our reasons of altruistic style
Four walls impose virtue knowing all the while
That you pledge your allegiance to the united cause for all
Blind faith in the system leads you to a wall
Rise to the order of a supreme identity
Strike down rebellion control society
Advocate we retaliate
We walk against the cause
Dictate (NO) we evaluate
Break down all the laws

They made it a game and we become the pawns
Decisions they make never give us a choice
Why do we stand for the CHAIN OF COMMAND ?
Distant warriors our dreams are so longer seen
Innocent lives shattered in vain.

Red skies light the way home
