1 – Inside My Mind The warrior, within me, create this freedom from my mind The warrior, within me, create this freedom from my mind Terrified of my own shadows Fearful of my inner wishes, Identified only by my darkest demons Scared of looking depths Of days gone by and memories lost Just for fear that maybe I am something I hate now I fall apart without my shield Guiding me to feel what's real The everlasting light inside My only strength, my own divine The sins of my life are creeping up inside, Inside, into that lonely mind of mine This darkness consumes me, my failure tear through me And every inner wish is tinged with fallen dreams I fall apart without my shield Guiding me to feel what's real The everlasting light inside My only strength, my own divine Fear of the same mistakes, plays on my mind, tears me up inside Hate, it binds to me, fuelling the oceans of misery The warrior, within me, create this freedom in my mind The warrior, within me, create this freedom in my mind I fall apart without my shield Guiding me to feel what's real The everlasting light inside My only strength, my own divine I fall apart without my shield Guiding me to feel what's real The everlasting light inside My only strength, my own divine

2 – Animus Fight fire with fire Before the fire consumes us Fight fire with fire Before the fire dies Hero, Poet, Warrior Strive for power To find your truth Enter the Animus Kingdom of faithlessness, soils watered by our blood Ancestors, we pray to you, save us from this eternal scourge Corse sands, black scriptures, a cry out in to the dark A whisper, forgotten, the trial not overcome You led us to place where we had to fight, a place where we won’t survive Fight fire with fire Before the fire consumes us Fight fire with fire Before the fire dies Your choices forever Live with the actions of your mind Concealed in darkness Behind the walls inside Hero, Poet, Warrior Strive for power To find your truth Enter the Animus You are controlled by your time From Birth to Battlefield I’m here This path is mine Fight fire with fire Before the fire consumes us Fight fire with fire Before the fire dies Your choices forever Live with the actions of your mind Concealed in darkness Behind the walls inside This war will not determine who is right, only who is left Silence, the anthem of the fall To consecrate or desecrate Upon your knees you crawl Fire, to burn away the sin You can’t escape the foretold fate of family and kin Desire, you cannot hide the mark They’ve chosen you, now rise above, eradicate the dark Fight fire with fire Before the fire dies Fight fire with fire Before the fire dies Fight fire with fire Before the fire consumes us Fight fire with fire Before the fire dies Your choices forever Live with the actions of your mind Concealed in darkness Behind the walls inside This fight for life It only leaves the strong alive Deep inside your mind The will to fight the Animus

3 – Dangerous Eyes Scarlet silhouettes are dancing round the corners of my mind The pull to let you go has never been as strong as it is now Ancient rituals they hold me dear, a prisoner I am bound Feeling desperation deep within I have to break away The love I had for you is strong But the pain inside I cannot overcome Look into these dangerous eyes To feel the fear The fear you’ve left in me I know it is my time to feel alive Claiming innocence The right to wrong No reasoning behind All those things that you had done to you It’s time to let them die. Without these chains, I am now free But to the future, I cannot see The love the I had for you was done But this pain inside is gone I’ve overcome Look into these dangerous eyes To feel the fear The fear you’ve left in me I know it is my time to feel alive Venom in me, it fills my dreams with dread Hearts left bleeding, when does the torment end Can’t you hear me scream Scream for you once more Look into these dangerous eyes To feel the fear The fear you’ve left in me I know it is my time to feel alive Look into these dangerous eyes To feel the fear The fear you’ve left in me I know it is my time to feel alive

4 – The Sounds That Make Me Feel Alive Struggling to see all the beauty in the world without this artificial feeling Trying to breathe through the heaviness I have created living in me This is the calm before the storm The quiet moment before my thoughts cry out And flense my flesh from bone Every moment that I feel you leaving me I’m scared that I won’t ever break free from this Nightmare I’ve been living, trying to fly so high To reach the colours and the sounds that make me feel alive One more time, one more line is drawn In the sand as I try for myself to break this hell that I call life Falsehoods cannot bind me And lies they cannot chain me This taint runs deep to my core But it will not define me Every moment that I feel you leaving me I’m scared that I won’t ever break free from this Nightmare I’ve been living, trying to fly so high To reach the colours and the sounds that make me feel alive Like a white cocoon, butterflies are crushed by you I revile at the flashbacks late at night Where the scent of regret lay firmly by my side The moments of pleasure, The feeling of pain The fear that this would never ever end I show myself no remorse for the actions that I have taken This ongoing fascination for a world that I did not belong is coming to close The war within myself is over finally The Sounds That Make Me Feel Alive are back, to stay Here, forever Every moment that I feel you leaving me I’m scared that I won’t ever break free from this Nightmare I’ve been living, trying to fly so high To reach the colours and the sounds that make me feel alive The Sounds That Make Me Feel Alive The sounds make me feel alive, push forward and forever strive

5 – Return to Dust The power and strength can set us free These tortured souls know dignity The darkness calls out to my heart Restless spirits resist the dark Witness the marks of heresy Traitorous blood runs from the trees So no behold the dawn of war The rise of man will bring the fall We are the strength We are the key It’s time we break free We open our minds to seek the truth Only to be told we’re not meant to know They control us through fear and hate Only to watch us return to dust Return To Dust Potestas Animi Nos Liberabit Solve Vincula Dignus Es Uti Viberus Ut Seperare Non Potes No Ad Pulvis We are their minds We are their hands This life is not yours We open our minds to seek the truth Only to be told we’re not meant to know They control us through fear and hate Only to watch us return to dust Our power and strength can set us free If we just open our minds and see The chains that keep us here Are only there because we believe We ride their waves We storm their sands Returning to dust We open our minds to seek the truth Only to be told we’re not meant to know They control us through fear and hate Only to watch us return to dust Return to dust
