1.	Awakened 04:58	lyrics	buy track
Awakened by the sudden sound Of horses, armor and swords Unblinded by a shock of fear Not on my own accord The last thing I recall I was standing in the snow Bleeding and a figure appeared And dealt a deadly blow Release me While your lives can still be spared Beware me Soon my strength won’t be impaired My power it can’t be bound It’s end has not been found live or die, you decide My sword it craves your last breath You tread the path of certain death And I will be glad to be your guide Captured while i was down and out My body nearly dead Drug off into captivity But I know what lies ahead So I’ll take this time to rest and heal Before the battle begins Try not to kill my captors As they remind me of my sins
2.	The One 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Scripture said a hero would come In a time of great need Someone who appeared to be an enemy A mighty warrior With a sword at his side Who could kill what we could not The one the one we’ve been praying for The one that we have waited for The one for which we’ve suffered so so long The one In the night we saw a light And knew the thief was near Tear her apart from evil heart Or realize our fears We failed to halt and through assault We lost many men We saw the Flame and did proclaim That we would try again evil fire won’t expire By our strength alone We were weak with future bleak As blood turned to stone Belzic rose and our hearts froze And knew not where we lie our fate grew when we found you So we shall not die Our scripture said that you would come In our time of greatest need Someone who could stop our enemy A mighty warrior With a sword at his side That could prevent catastrophe
3.	No Hero 03:37	lyrics	buy track
I am not your hero I am not a holy man As long as our intentions align your people can live But I await the chance to kill you all again I can’t believe you have forgotten My last attempt to send you all to hell As I descended from the wolfs lair First the stroke of my sword, then the funeral bell Now that you’ve told me all your stories May we proceed to the task at hand? The evil heart is out there leading An army that hungers to consume this land A broken savage is all that stands Between the wild and your sheep As you close your eyes, just pray to your god Tonight he chooses not to bare his feral teeth
4.	Unfurling Conviction 01:49		buy track
5.	Wrenching, Gnashing 04:34	lyrics	buy track
The wrenching of my thought Twisting my cognition Resurrection can’t be for naught The gnashing in my skull Unsure of its beginning And which way it wants to pull You must seek out the source of my pain Send it back with a deadly attack so we can rise and I shall reign You must destroy this sickness of my mind can’t be done til we’ve snuffed the sun and all light has resigned terminate the former keeper of the evil heart The task must be completed before you come apart Take the girl and find him, report back to me Just as you describe it lord, it how it has to be
6.	The Finder 04:42	lyrics	buy track
Sent into a distant land In the service of our lord When we have him in our hands terminate him with his own sword An unlikely pairing, the healer and the thief A brutal assassin and the medicine chief To the finder goes the glory The seat at belzics side This is no team, but of rivals My skill, my will, my pride As the stars burn bright over the plains It is now my turn to rest open our shelter to wake the healer And see that now I am on a solitary quest To the finder goes the glory The seat at belzics side This is no team, only one My skill, my will, my pride Pressing on toward the mountains and the sea So much farther than I thought he could be Did I lose him, or take the wrong path? I’m seeking belzics favor, not his wrath But then I spot one of his footprints And get a smell of his sweat He must have lingered here last night And I know just where he went To the finder goes the glory The seat at belzics side This is no team, only one My skill, my will, my pride
7.	Upper Hand 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Under cover of darkness I make an escape for my native land Seemingly undetected Burdened only by my cloak and my sword in my hand I know the son of the beast Sleeps near the sea My might can bend his will He will come to obey me Stronger Than any steel Combined our strength Will render forces unreal Faster Than the speed of light There is no upper hand Greater than that of flight By the crash of the morning waves The slain dragons spawn submits to my command Underneath an old mountain range He spits fire upon my command Mounted upon his shoulders We ascend above the tide The final drive to battle an evil force my guide
8.	Instinct 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Victorious, the thief rides Back to her masters lair Laborious, is her every stride Towards belzic to inform him how she fared For battle her lord must now prepare Instinct, be my guiding light Doubt be damned, there is only my fire Instinct, give me your insight Locate my enemy, it is his time to expire No matter our heading Our paths will surely cross Blood will be spilled life will be lost Father, I have tracked our foe To where the mountains meet the sea Father, to the killing fields we must now go So of this scourge we can be free Unsettling thoughts invade my mind If i should fail, what will I leave behind? In darkness we all go blind Upon outstretched wing I take to the sky In search of evil, by my blade it shall die Driven only by action, not by reasons why When I choose to close my eyes i can so clearly see The demons head, from wretched neck is free Fighting fire with fire, and brutality the battle not yet started, but when it is all done No one shall know my name, only that I’ve won To remind them, my star, the sun
9.	The Resurrected and the Mortal 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Flying, Smashing, slashing and trying To kill my enemy vying To kill me too It cant be me, who’s torn in two Brawling, clashing, lashing, and calling To my enemy falling Just to rise once more Blood on the wing, blood on the sword The healer looks on as they sweat and bleed and strain one of them will cease to be the other shall reign The resurrected and the mortal Engage with speed, agility One aims to rule a world of darkness The other craves serenity Dueling, dodging, darting, grueling Only hatred fueling This display of brawn All teeth are bared all blades are drawn Bleeding, wounded, weary, speeding Toward my target needing To catch my breath But now to pause would mean my death The healer looks on as they both wear away So do the armies as they stand outside the fray
10.	Primogenitor 05:31	lyrics	buy track
The warrior and demon face down in the dirt Both badly bleeding, each intensely hurt Verdict is not yet clear, but the end is surely near Toward the wounded, the healer does advance Both rivals presume that this is their second chance Neither understand what the shaman has planned I’ve watched you both since the dawn of time Created you to do my will Every deed done not yours, mine Consider your mission fulfilled The resurrected and the mortal lie in fright Both suddenly aware of their awful plight The healers gaze sets the sky ablaze Isentroud and belzic both begin to choke Their limbs quake and their chests start to smoke The end has arrived and neither will survive If enlightenment is really what you seek Listen now to the truth I speak Through this universe runs a common thread A secret kept between me and the dead After they perish, only then they’ll realize The illusion that was their lives Into error they’ve been misled A secret kept between me and the dead Embrace your fear Your fates are mine to seal future is clear You believe that I had healed I am the first, the one the only The master of all infinity I am the first the one the only Dominion universal I rule in totality
