Masters of mankind Possessed by their greed Ground into the dirt We're strangled by our leash All for ourselves and now nothing left; Starve the majority! Retreat inside the walls where we rule; Masters pulling strings! Divide the lower class and watch them fight; Destroy their unity! Convince them that there is no class war; Victory Assured! Masters of mankind deceive the populace live in arrogance endless entitlement This vile maxim putting us in chains the last glimmer of hope is just a gilded cage All for ourselves and now nothing left; Starve the majority! Retreat inside the walls where we rule; Masters pulling strings! Divide the lower class and watch them fight; Destroy their unity! Convince them that there is no class war; Victory Assured! Now we must resist. Now we organize. Crush our enemies. Control our own lives. Now we stand together, blurring social lines. Standing to resist, the Masters of Mankind

Verse: Exiled from my homeland Now uninhabitable Betrayed by my own kind Their greed instatiable PreChorus: The void all around me Seeking asylum, hopeless A trajectory towards entropy Cast into infinite darkness Chorus: Breaching new frontiers in this vacuum of death Claustrophobia sets in but I must push on Each passing second tears from me another breath Primordial fear overcomes me, realizing I was wrong -scream- Verse: Confined in isolation My sanity slips away Tormented by my reflection Of my existence itself PreChorus: My vision is fading. (Sight blacks out.) The ship has stopped moving. (In an ocean of stars.) Reach for Andromeda shaking. (Suffocation.) In disillusionment. Chorus: Breaching new frontiers in this vacuum of death Claustrophobia sets in but I must push on Each passing second tears from me another breath Primordial fear overcomes me, realizing I was wrong Bridge: There is no hope for salvation it is just a farce Life is a means to an end, an ironic survival Showing that self awareness and intellect are scarce And yet we still strive for a worthless life eternal Just die.

Verse In the valley A tyrant Claims the land as its own It’s met with Resistance Invader to its home Engaging In combat Submerged to murky depths The mountains Overflow A battle to the death Pre-chorus Through rivers they go Breaking through the ground below A war of the gods To shape the land Chorus The legends they are told A clash of power to behold The blood of the tyrant Grows into man In the ocean they rise Glutton meeting its demise The beast of creation A dying wrath Second Verse Beyond the Monster’s home The violence rages on Coyote Spear in hand A clash of brain and brawn Dams Give way To their ferocity Raging Current Carries them to the sea Pre-chorus Through rivers they go Breaking through the ground below A war of the gods To shape the land Chorus The legends they are told A clash of power to behold The blood of the tyrant Grows into man In the ocean they rise Glutton meeting its demise The beast of creation A dying wrath Third Verse Under the Crashing waves Wishpoosh devours him But from The inside A spear pierces its skin Blood curdles From its cry As it falls to the sand The remains of its body Are spread across the land Pre-chorus Through rivers they go Breaking through the ground below A war of the gods To shape the land Chorus The legends they are told A clash of power to behold The blood of the tyrant Grows into man Second part of last chorus From its body cultures grow Mountainsides to valleys low The beast of creation Has met its death

Berserk 05:01
Verse: Born under the hanging tree, No one's life is lived for free Forging a violent destiny, Horror burned in memory War is all he knows, The battlefield is his home With an iron sword, He cuts his own path Chorus Killing a god, Follow no laws Vengeance and wrath, eternal path Break free from fate, Consumed by hate Justice in blood, Going Berserk Verse: Endless ambition; flame in his heart Sacrifice required with his friends he starts To reach his holy heights a bridge of bodies is what he needs Climbing over corpses, companions fall and bleed. Chorus: Killing a god, Follow no laws Vengeance and wrath, eternal path Break free from fate, Consumed by hate Justice in blood, Going Berserk Bridge: Brutality Fatality Causality Is killing me Verse: Tired, sleep murdered by another's hand Forced to fight by the brand His vengeance and hate is how he feeds the hound Longing to escape, but to his fate he is bound Chorus: Killing a god, Follow no laws Vengeance and wrath, eternal path Break free from fate, Consumed by hate Justice in blood, Going Berserk
