We rode together upon the blackest winds forever Over the mountains into the valley of the damned But I can't seem to shake this feeling deep inside of me Is it all true what people say? We just want to be like Sam and Herman Li They're the heroes of our time Fury of the Storm’s a fuckin’ awesome song! But there is something you've got wrong… Stop saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay? They used to be my favourite band All my life I dreamed that I could write a song that’s catchy too So Sam would think that I was cool We always thought that we were the soldiers of the wasteland Kept holding on 'til we saw the dawn of a new world Never before had we felt such a cold black winter night Been through the fire and the flames! We just want to be like Sam and Herman Li They're the heroes of our time "Body Breakdown" is a fucking awesome song! But there is something you've got wrong… Stop saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay? They used to be my favourite band All my life I dreamed that I could write a song that’s catchy too So Sam would think that I was cool Stop saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay? They used to be my favourite band All my life I dreamed that I could write a song that’s catchy too So Sam would think that I was cool Keep saying we sound like Dragonforce okay? They'll always be my favourite band I just want to write the songs that make the people sing along And prove that all you cunts are wrong!

Warzone 04:00
We’re in a warzone, no escaping Blood is spilling bones are breaking I will conquer anyone who will stand in my way ‘Cz I’m a fucking god! The whole world is crumbling all around And far in the distance we hear the sound When the guns of war explode And the tanks of doom reload You can run or hide But the victory will soon be mine Forever We’re in a warzone, no escaping Blood is spilling bones are breaking We will conquer anyone who will stand in our way So if you think that you can break us Be prepared to meet your makers By the power of my hand you shall bow on command ‘Cz I’m a fucking god! So now as the bodies are piled high A lone warrior looks to the sky By the power in my soul I will take back all control From the warlord who has obliterated our home I’ll kill you We’re in a warzone, no escaping Blood is spilling bones are breaking We will conquer anyone who will stand in our way So if you think that you can break us Be prepared to meet your makers By the power of my hand you shall bow on command ‘Cz I’m a fucking god! We’re in a warzone, no escaping Blood is spilling bones are breaking We will conquer anyone who will stand in our way So if you think that you can break us Be prepared to meet your makers By the power of my hand you will bow on command ‘Cz I’m a fucking god! We’re in a warzone, no escaping Blood is spilling bones are breaking We will conquer anyone who will stand in our way So if you think that you can break us Be prepared to meet your makers By the power of my hand you shall bow on command We’re in a warzone, no escaping Blood is spilling bones are breaking We will conquer anyone who will stand in our way I tried to warn you, you ignored me Now the world will bow before me I will never ever lose in this game we call war ‘Cz I’m a fucking god!

Breathing getting harder Heart begins to race Your body is quite literally dying Green boots laughing in your face You gotta climb climb climb all the way up You gotta fight fight fight fight never give up And we risk everything so that we can say We are the kings of the world When you give your all and you can’t fight anymore Sweat and blood drips down from your face If your will was strong then your spirit will go on But your legend will always remain When you give your all and you can’t fight anymore Sweat and blood drips down from your face If your will was strong then your spirit will go on But your legend will always remain Leave behind our buddies They would do the same to us Under spector of terrifying fear We commit brutality You gotta climb climb climb climb all the way up You gotta fight fight fight fight never give up And we risk everything so that we can say We are on top of the world When you give your all and you can’t fight anymore Sweat and blood drips down from your face If your will was strong then your spirit will go on But your legend will always remain As your sheer desire overcomes your common sense And you see the summit in reach Though you pass the bodies of those who fell before You’ll be up there to dine with the gods either way If you reach the summit There’s no glory to be found You may feel some relief for a few seconds But now the only way is down You gotta climb climb climb climb all the way down You gotta fight fight fight fight never give up your crown Cz we risk everything so we can say That we’re the kings of the world When you gave your all and you can’t give anymore As the world freezes you in place If your will was strong you’ll get up and carry on No one else can save you now Now you found and confronted your deepest darkest fears There is nothing that you cannot do You will find no mercy on the coldest place on earth But you might just find what you were looking for up there

Ruination 02:35
It’s time to ignite About to explode Things are going to change We’re primed for the top We’ll smash a new way This is a new day You can spot from a mile away My anti-authority vibe that is coming your way You can’t deal with my world view So try to take me on, and see how that works for you! You have underestimated me And just how arrogant I can be I will laugh as I just stare through your face Get back in your fucking place! The match is now set Parameters drawn Let the games begin So now we will see How far you will go Will your conscience hold you back? You’ve got no idea what I’ll do today Your morality doesn’t allow you to think that way You bit off more than you can chew Now I’m gonna have to finish you! You have underestimated me And just how arrogant I can be I will laugh as I just stare through your face Get back in your fucking place! You can spot from a mile away My anti-authority vibe that is coming your way You can’t deal with my world view So try to take me on, and see how that works for you! You have underestimated me And just how arrogant I can be I will laugh as I just stare through your face Get back in your fucking place! You have underestimated me And just how arrogant I can be I will laugh as I just stare through your face Get back in your fucking place!

All my life I’ve followed no one And all my life made hard decisions Tried to break the repetition The price of living independent Now it seems they just don’t listen And now I realised that I can’t go on Unless I change the blueprint for my entire life Dio Volendo Lo Faro Only God will watch me as I fall Between the tree of life as I end it all Only God can watch me as I swing Beneath the tree of life as I stop twitching There must be an alternative I don’t think that I can repilot I can’t change my disposition A winner never loses vision And if God wills it I will make a decision Use my skills to make a difference Show the world the power of one thousand suns I was raised strong and able I never struggled, never unstable I have burned so many bridges And I have lived through rags and riches And still I stand through every season and storm that they can throw my way And that’s how I will show them all The power of one Dio Volendo Lo Faro Only God will watch me as I fall Between the tree of life as I end it all Only God can watch me as I swing Beneath the tree of life as I stop twitching Dio Volendo Lo Faro Only God will watch me as I fall Between the tree of life as I end it all Only God can watch me as I swing Beneath the tree of life as I stop twitching

There’s a fire that burns inside us all A dark desire that never talks So as I fan the flames higher and higher till it hurts There’s only one thing that I can do I travel through that one way door I like to go where grass is green But I can’t go there any more There is no opaque veil over this madness anymore How long can I last ‘til I lose it all? We all have something we choose to hide A place that is so dark inside And my dark passenger will take me for just one more ride ‘til then I will travel without a guide And so I’ll say goodbye my friend You were the only one that could see the real me And I hope we’ll meet again Sometime beneath the stars I could never fight destiny We were meant to tear this world apart And before all my time is done I will have my place among the stars There is a cold dark wind that draws me in And quells all my problems from within But you can’t have it all you need to leave some things behind Trapped between two worlds my stars are aligned And so I’ll say goodbye my friend You were the only one that could see the real me And I hope we’ll meet again Sometime beneath the stars I could never fight destiny We were meant to tear this world apart And before all my time is done I will have my place among the stars I’m tired of the waiting I’m tired of the pain I’ll be so frustrated Until I can kill again! And so I’ll say goodbye my friend You were the only one that could see the real me And I hope we’ll meet again Sometime beneath the stars I could never fight destiny We were meant to tear this world apart And before all my time is done I will have my place among the stars

It has taken us all this time to find out If our stars are aligned or far apart I don’t if this light will burn forever Inside of our souls and our hearts Far away There’s a black and white TV It’s you and me In a tragic comedy Take me there tonight And we’ll dream beneath the stars Make me dream all night That our love will never end Start our hearts to mend From far away I hear them talking It’s an open secret we’re living dead Our fears of loneliness control us Til’ we’re alone together once again Far away There’s a black and white TV It’s you and me In a tragic comedy Take me there tonight And we’ll dream beneath the stars Make me dream all night That our love will never end Start our hearts to mend At my lowest point I thought that I would be stronger I would be wiser In the back ‘my mind I knew that this was inevitable as dying I will keep progressing You are like the moon controlling the tide and Deep and cold and dark the ocean Washing away the litter of mankind and smashing through everything Slow down my heart ‘til it breaks! In this world that we make now for ourselves Got a chance to write the story we tell There are things I would like to edit out Delete them Try to choose between logic and myself Choose between my obsession and my hell Kiss the cheek say goodbye and walk away Today But The truth is that I can’t be alone Life is just too damn big for me And I know that the time will be here soon When I have to say sayonara and goodbye to every problem I have Take me there tonight And we’ll dream beneath the stars Make me dream all night That our love will never end Start our hearts to mend Take me there tonight And we’ll dream beneath the stars Make me dream all night These memories we share Never end Take me there tonight And we’ll dream beneath the stars This world can be ours Make me dream all night That our love never ends.
