1.	Shadow and Claw 07:29	lyrics
Shadow & Claw The Earth -cries out for a new light fading with each new dawn Aeons- pass beyond any count exhausted and caught in travail A man- trained to torture and maim falls down into dark disgrace exiled- from the high iron tower In a cloak darker than night Chorus Bring the New Sun! He is- the Razor of the Autarch the Sword of the Lictor He is-the claw of our destiny healer bringing new life To war! Fight the northern horde but where is honor found? Inside-remains duality now they must be as one… Chorus The water-closed over him and yet he did not drown He drank-the essence of all lies and yet he speaks what is true Now-the Ruler and he are one Wandering days are now past. He sits-astride the oaken throne Countless thousands in one… Chorus
2.	Spectral Overlord 06:23	lyrics
Spectral Overlord Abysmal dimension of time within vast crystalline space I come to devour your mind sleepless despair awaits I am the choking air before you when you close your eyes disappearing sense of time dawn comes on blackened wings (CHORUS) start with a chosen few agony replaces sleep pandemic of insomnia metastatic neural blight Cracks form in the sky sleepless hordes howl in pain crowd sets itself ablaze cataclysmic abyss (CHORUS) Mundus Evegilavit (the world has awakened) Now the sun never sets delirium distorted speech civilization dies humanity finally awake Dwelling now in my realm sleepless marionettes radioactive world spectral overlord of the damned. CHORUS: Infection will arise within distorted planes Madness in your eyes Abomination is my name
3.	Indiginies Arise! 05:13	lyrics
Indiginies Arise! We gather in these caves deep underground. Ships up in space cant keep us down. Can you smell the air? Do you know the time? You'd best beware. Gonna pay for your crimes! Chorus: Now the sleeper has awakened Now we're knocking on your door Nowhere for you to hide in and you're gonna lose this war! Treated us like beasts “Insignificant” Your cruciform and priests... Its time to pay the rent! Now our army swarms pouring out of the earth planet's getting warm time for our rebirth! (Chorus) Section II(Gallop) We're gathering on the outside of your electric walls The spark of recognition of your impending fall in your eyes! With photon beams and lances we wield your coming fate you call for reinforcements you know it is too late we will rise! You stare in growing terror as your golden palace falls Decapitate the tyrant its time to break some balls Take the prize! (break/Chorus) They got machinery They got a parasite they got their fucking church brings them back to life We got the open air we got a purple sky we got each other too we aint afraid to die! Chorus
4.	Mind Cage 05:55	lyrics
Mind Cage Look at the mob look at them stare their blank lifeless eyes in the air Look at the screen hear all the lies repeated till they hypnotize Back to the mob howling for blood like clockwork their minds turned to mud The man in the tower scripting the page locks all their minds in a cage See all the bombs fall from the sky somebody somewhere will die Never ask why dont want to know as long as the credit still flows wearing your cross waving your flag a bell rings your tail starts to wag The man in the tower scripting the page locks all their minds in a cage Chorus Mind forged chains All stand in line Children of Cain Conform to your masters' design
5.	The Blind Swordsman 06:15	lyrics
Blind Swordsman Out of darkness judgment falls sword of justice shattered walls tyrants falling flashing blade peasants free now debt is paid Out walks the sightless man Just his cane held in his hand a drifting gambler all alone ragged clothes-- he has no home Chorus: Out of darkness judgment falls sword of justice shattered walls tyrants falling flashing blade peasants free now debt is paid A town besieged by depravity The magistrate steeped in vanity the peasants bear the boss’s rule the game is rigged, the odds are cruel Zatoichi cannot turn away the evil ones must be slain now their judgment day is here the town is free, the end of fear
6.	Contact Martyr 05:47	lyrics
Contact Martyr My name is Anaplian The Culture is my home. Though I come from a distant shellworld My father holds the throne But now that world’s been torn apart I know I must return my brother's life in peril my father's castle burns Sister Warrior Culture Soldier Contact Martyr Shellworld Savior! An evil wretch now holds the throne a price on my brother's skull when I touch down on this shitty world I'm going to show them all But now it seems an ancient force has woken in the caves left there in the distant past to dig a million graves (Chorus) On my backwards home planet They say I'm just a girl but I'm in Special Circumstances a walking arsenal! I am a Culture agent Special Circumstances arm And so my life I'll sacrifice to rid this world of harm
7.	1000 Acre Swamp 07:44	lyrics
Thousand Acre Swamp Something is moving under the mud something is thinking it’s time has come the cattails are quaking the crow’s on the wing the trees might know something they dont say a thing The people are sleeping at home in their bed oblivious to the impending dread children in their rooms, dew on the lawn the sun it is rising on their final dawn Something has risen with the first light something is bringing in eternal night the dawn of awareness ascends with the sun screaming and fleeing now on the run Natures realm defiled retribution now Hunter finds its prey Ancient debt repaid Neighborhood in flames ashes charred remains Soon the creepers grow over human bones…
