Yesterday is gone forever
No turning back the clock In the end, all is sinful No need to bear the pain The end, is coming soon You can't hold out forever Repent your sins to me Before you pass this world In this time I am law I know you've been betrayed From man's word, I'm given life Through loss, I only gain For you, I feel no sympathy No sorrow, no remorse Confess your sins to me They'll be taken by force Chorus: It doesn't matter what you've done In my words you are a sinner For every word you say to me In every way, you are a sinner Question me not I am the one that binds this world You follow without sight I grow stronger every day Take the souls I have damned Burn them in my name These are the burning times The years of pain |

Hear now this story of the man that should not be
A ghoul of blackened torment, sullen atrocity A kindred soul to the devils own, malignance personified Cast from his fire he molests the purest light Profane to humanity menaced by flesh and bone Screams of the unknown youth to him the sweetest tone Undying in his will to kill his bloodlust is profound For the blood of the lamb I've got to bring him down Chorus For all the young lives you have slain (Fear now you shall obtain) Vengeance is mine For every young one that has died (Your psychopathic genocide) Vengeance is mine I shall do what the law won't do, I can make the sacrifice In the name of these bodies which held such precious life Mine is not to ask forgiveness this deed I've proudly done Without god without the devil this time I have won Repeat Chorus |

Cannons pound into the night
Angels soar into the sky The battle rages on Deliverance unholy one The seeds of hate fly tonight Good and evil light the sky Another vision from inside I know it's wrong I can't deny For seven years I have reigned In this damned and desolate hell Now I've lived the masters vengeance It saved me from myself We paint the sky with blood tonight Setting free the damned to fight The whore of Babylon is here The end of the storm is near Chorus: Pure evil Feel the pain from the jackals wrath Pure evil Dance in flames for the final quest Hear the ghost of violence Fear the God of detriment The land on earth is soaked with blood Hear the screams of the helpless ones Axes yield and daggers fly Ripping through all flesh in sight We paint the sky with blood tonight Setting free the damned to fight The whore of Babylon is here The end of the storm is near Repeat chorus |

My only comfort is in death
My only solace, my dying breath For release, I have prayed Thrown past life, not afraid Life's a bitch, life's a whore Nothing less, nothing more There is nothing she would do for me I will end this suffering Chorus: Existence of one man Hatred with no end My madness, my sadness I am my own savior The voices are calling Out of this life, I'm falling There is one choice, that I see In raging flames, The Dark One awaits Existence of one man Hatred with no end My madness, my sadness I am my own savior |

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day For years I've tried to teach But their eyes are empty Empty too I have become For them I must die A sad and troubled race An ungrateful troubled place I see the sadness in their eyes Melancholy in their cries Devoid of all the passion The human spirit cannot die Look at the pain around me This is what I cry for Look at the pain around me This is what I'll die for Make the sadness go away Come back another day The things I've said and done Don't matter to anyone But still, you push me to see Something, I can never be Why am I their shattered king? I don't mean anything I see the sadness in their eyes Melancholy in their cries Devoid of all the passion The human spirit cannot die Look at the pain around me This is what I cry for Look at the pain around me This is what I'll die for |

A force of light, an angel
Sent through time to destroy Avenging the dark ones Descending angelic force Heaven sent the hunter Her mission to crucify Slay the hellspawn His offspring, demonic force Descending from Heaven The angel sworn to bring them down The hunter, the thunder The wrath of heavens comin' down She swore an oath, an allegiance Armageddon is in sight To be the thorn in the devil's back To make him weak, the final fight Descending from Heaven The angel sworn to bring him down The hunter, the thunder The wrath of heavens comin' down |

Through the flames I watch
As you plead on your knees The reaper awaits The ride that you take Through the lake, lake of flames Will decide your fate Was all of it worth eternal pain The path you chose to live in vain The river Styx is calling your number The hot winds of Hell breathe your name Bridge: On the night that it came to me It was like nothing I'd ever seen A vision darker than death itself A violent cloud straight from the depths of hell And that's when I saw my destiny As it approached I was frozen still I couldn't move, couldn't scream for help Out of the darkness it reached for me And that's when it planted the evil seed And that's when I saw my destiny Chorus: Travel in Stygian The damned scream my name Travel in Stygian I can't repent it's too late Travel in Stygian Hot winds blow upon me Travel in Stygian No remorse it's too late Bridge The henchman awaits you Yes that's right, step aboard We have a very long journey You owe us You got what you wanted In your mortal life Now your soul is in our grasp It's time Riding on the hot winds of hell Traveling down in the ship of pain I chose this fate no turning back The river Styx has called for me |

A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds
One of which the new me hates and the one that's coming true The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze But am I really in control or am I just a slave I called upon this god to deliver unto me To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies Ask and I received damnation was the price I signed my name in blood, didn't read the fine print Now I'm just a puppet god for the devils own descent Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave Fallen bloody tears can't wash the pain away Chorus All at once it's clear to me Damnation and destiny A slave to darkness shall I be Damnation and destiny And so I must repent or will I be destroyed Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul Or humilate me, desecrate me, like his only son Repeat Chorus |

The time is close now, the end is near
My walk through the valley, trails of fear I feel empty, my penance overdue, I guess it's too late now To be with you I'm extremely frightened of what will surely be I sold myself, the death of me I know you can't forgive me I know I'm on my own, I've betrayed you I walk alone What exactly is the meaning of this Just pawns in your twisted game Severe pain for the lie I'm livin' For a love I never could betray Bridge Question me not say the lord unto thee You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny Denied of this life is what you are to be You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny Lord I pound my fists at you Won't you just let me die Would I not suffer enough No inner peace no after life Repeat Bridge I did what I thought was right All for the love of my life I know it's sad but true Something is very wrong Condemned to suffer so long For a love so true The question that lies within Is so hard to understand It still tears at me And in my dying breath My heart holds no regrets I wouldn't change a thing My spirit begins to rise into the heavenly skies Just to be shunned away by you Now all I want is to die, no streets of gold in the sky And I wash my hands of you Bridge Rising to the heavens light Just to plea for death Just to be denied- |

The deal was rigged
There's darkness in my soul I want to die again An empty soul shrouded in darkness Alone and confused what am I? Images flash memories jaded He took my life God damn his lies Fight son of the damned, bring down the heavens Smash in the gates, burn 'em down You must accept the fate that you've chosen You will obey your destiny I cheated myself for love Love unconditional Now just to see her face I've lost it all I know there's goodness in me Though I'm not the same I will defy the master I will refuse to be his slave No, I was betrayed I can't accept this My future's unclear, it's a lie I'll follow my heart stand and be counted The curse will lift I will survive I cheated myself for love Love unconditional Now just to see her face I've lost it all |

The howling winds blow
On this moonlit night Eyes locked in fear With a dark embrace The bitter cold winds Freeze the tears that fall Hands held in grace As we take the final step Obsessed with our love Here is our fate To need the final call On this special winter day A message to our elders They surely won't forget Our love must last forever In death we shall not part It seems like only yesterday Our lives together planned They say it's just a passing phase We're damned by our youth Why does no one understand What we have is real This is not your average love it's forever Last December Mother you have forced us here Last December Father now we'll disappear Last December One last step we fade away So we take the final step Heed the final call Together we are strong Divided we must fall Teenage suicide Our only way out Together we might live Divided we must fall Last December Mother you have forced us here Last December Father now we'll disappear Last December One last step we fade away |

I had a friend many years ago One tragic night he died The saddest time of my life For weeks and weeks I cried Through the anger and through the tears I've felt his spirit through the years I'd swear, He's watching me Guiding me through hard times (chorus) I feel it once again It's overwhelming me His spirit's like the wind The angel guarding me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me We shared dreams like all best friends Blood brothers at the age of ten We lived reckless, he paid the price But why? Why did he have to die? It still hurts me to this day Am I selfish for feeling this way? I know he's an angel now Together we'll be someday I feel it once again It's overwhelming me His spirit's like the wind The angel guarding me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me Oh, I know, oh, I know He's watching over me |

"Angels Holocaust"
As I walk through the blackened forest Thoughts of hate and anger fill my soul The charred remains of the holy rollers Scream repentance though it's far too late I fight back the laughter at what I see The suffering healers false destined prophecy He didn't think yesterday of the end of his life The brainwashed fools born again of a thousand lies Hate filled screams break the silence Terrifying dreams filling up your head Blasphemy thrusting out, in the masses it reigns The mask of hypocrisy is slowly unveiled Fear the angels holocaust, they're screaming Dreams of pain forever entering your head Death and hatred loathing, on mankind it feeds Earth is dead and gone now, we've brought it to an end For the last time I've been betrayed Never again will I subject myself to this hypocrisy Something is drawing me to the other side Only time will tell my true destiny As I travel through the astral plain I see the break of day As though the sky has burst in flames Before the storm I dread Lightning breaks across the sky Blackish-blue at night Riders ride on dismal clouds I scream at heaven's light |

As I travel through the astral plains
I see the break ahead as though the sky has burst in flames before the storm I dread lightning breaks across the sky blackish blue at night riders ride on dismal clouds I scream at heavens light Storming demons travel through the night the time is almost here I lay in a jacket of steel my scream no one hears I can feel the storm approaching the pain is its' reality the death I breathe is in the air I feel no more, no longer care The trumpets sound as I break free this vision I see just can't be me what is this that I have done why am I the chosen one Fight on, grab on stormrider stormrider Now the rider rides through the night the time is almost here as I lay wrapped in steel my scream no one hears Help me, through this hell inside my life's my own, it's my pride carry on my solid dream save me from this horrid scream Fight on, grab on stormrider stormrider |

I can't believe this now
This isn't what I planned I lived and died and now I just can't understand With all the love I feel I could never leave her No matter what the cost My soul's the price to see her Oh, how I love you The pain won't go away Oh, when I need you You're always so far away I cry for you Leaving myself to blame I died for you I gave up everything The pain was just too much When I finally saw her She's happy and in love In love with my best friend What makes it hurt so bad Is that I love them both And they will never know For love, I sold my soul Oh, how I love you The pain won't go away Oh, when I need you You're always so far away I cry for you Leaving myself to blame I died for you I gave up everything Oh, how I love you The pain won't go away Oh, when I need you You're always so far away I cry for you Leaving myself to blame I died for you I gave up everything |

I can see clearly now, a painful vision indeed
An attack on hallowed ground, from high above Alien to us, the species known as man A serious threat, in the eyes of the Elder So heed my warning, before our own existence falls near extinct Our culture is lost in ancient mystery, covered in the sands of time A sacred few survive the massacre this night In secret they will meet a new society Ten thousand years from now, a child will be born I've seen the vision, the writing on the wall He'll walk the Earth, two thousand years or more Paving the way, for mankind's fall So there is hope you see, but we must act with great speed Assemble the chosen, the ones to lead, and morph them in the likeness of man Oppressed for centuries, await the prophecy The child will set us free, reclaim it rightfully We'll take their identity and live among them free All the while, plotting events that mold their history We'll build the perfect beast with the knowledge that they seek If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat Assassins we will be, through human history Jesus Christ to Kennedy, the Domino Decree Disciples of the Watch, prepare the coming curse If it takes ten thousand years, we never will retreat And so, our world is doomed, we'll lay claim again some day There is hope, in the birth of one, so many centuries away |

Daylight breaks hard on sacred ground
For centuries, we've questioned them of His birth But in this hour, on this day, The Elder knew Years of madness must now subdue Order must be enforced to hide the truth 'Cause on this day, in this hour, it's coming true Child of the wicked and ancient man Baptized in black magic, their master plan Born of the Watch, his prophecy, by their command Conceived of the Beast and in stars above We'll shape and guide him with underlying love Born of the Watch, through sands of time, by their command So, behold the birth, the wicked child Born of the Beast, in eastern sands He will arise, He will divide He has the power to bring the end It's up to us now to seal his fate Marked with the proper math, the child's none too late Blessed by the Beast, our Chosen One was born this day He'll rise from the ashes of our dying race Manipulate history, time and space The Elder, Men of the Watch, professed this day So, behold the birth, the wicked child Born of the Beast, in eastern sands He will arise, He will divide He has the power to bring the end Behold the birth, the wicked child Born of the Beast, in eastern sands He will arise, He will divide He has the power to bring the end |

I walk the Earth just as they planned
Baptized in fire for my ancient land The coming curse, your anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's eye I vindicate and cleanse the Earth of all mankind For many years, I've walked among you Through the folds of time and space Kingdoms fall, leaders die, as I see fit I devour souls of those that pose a threat I walk the Earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes I bide my time planning your fate With bated breath, The Elder wait The coming curse, your anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's eye For your crimes on our kind you all will die I walk the Earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes Forged in the sacred flames On the sixth day Of the sixth month In the sixth hour I am your anti-Christ, I will destroy mankind Born of the beast and flames I will devour, I will divide Hellfire rages in my eyes Blood will fall like rain this night The coming curse, the anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's eye I vindicate and cleanse the Earth of all mankind I walk the Earth another day The wicked one that comes this way Savior to my own, devil to some Mankind falls, something wicked comes |

What do I see on the icy plains
The desolate one, it's my terrain The wind it blows cold, howling my name I am the king, the king of this waste Can't you see this barren land lain to waste Ravaged, scorched, yet frozen from your neglect I am the formless one, I came to save You are the chosen ones, you'll be my slaves I stand on the glacier above it all Watching them crumble, watching them crawl Iced Earth has risen, nature will fall Death and destruction mark them or fall Can you feel the madness here Drawing you all too near Earth, fire, water and air Save yourselves from despair We are together now Crush the cowards, do it now End the light, end the one We have come to save the young ones So on an on the story goes Destroying yourselves, the pain it shows Music - Jon Schaffer Lyrics - Jon Schaffer |
