The Lottery

Music: Carlos | Lyrics: Palma
The wait was long, the time has come
Anticipation grows
As silence builds all eyes are on
On the sacred box
(Prechorus)
Those who've yet to win gather now;
The ones who trust are still alive
Fate of the harvest is in the hands of this raffling of lives
Hold the lottery, you won't starve
It hasn't failed those who've survived
Fate of the harvest is in the hands of this raffling of lives
(Chorus)
The cards are drawn
The marks been placed
The winner stands within the crowd
While others stop the random death
Tradition lives on here
For years the village plays along
In this game of chance
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)
The cards are dropped
The marks been found
The winner stands above his grave
(Chorus)

The Front Lines

Music: Carlos | Lyrics: Palma/Ortiz
Born and raised to know war and death
No name beyond this number
One of millions no identity
Purpose filled when none are left to stand
(Chorus)
Victory is imminent
Brothers in arms, raise the alarm
Never cower, show of power
Victory is imminent
If they can be fooled they can be killed
Bend to his will
Sent everywhere to protect light
Marksmen never miss their shot
Carbon copy of a man who lives to kill
Orders come from one who kills to live
(Chorus)
Turn our backs, turn our sights
Great rebirth of new light
We attack, but is it right, do we care?
Pick them off one by one
Burn it down, light it up
Rise of an Empire

In the Dark
07:07
|
|||
Music: Palma | Lyrics: Palma
Keeper of life
Burdened with his gift
Mountain tall he stands
He bears a child's soul
Chained up he's led
To his resting place
Green stone on the ground
This mile's never dark
(Chorus)
Innocent but he'll lose his life
Two killed with their love
He chose to die and stop the pain
With a mask over his head
Men here will die
With their knees bent
All the town will watch
Death in the chair
(Chorus)
Glass in my head, If I could I'd stop it all
I hear the hate, and love is not as loud
I'm in the dark, I tried to take it back
But heaven awaits, and I will be there soon

Music: Palma/Ortiz | Lyrics: Palma
Every inch of this world is within reach
Every stone unturned, no darkness left to see
Is it wise to step outside these lines?
Ambition outweighing wisdom not this time
Proud of itself is planet earth
Our glory is our lack of fear
Who else could conquer all we have?
Or shake the mere foundation of the heavens?
(Prechorus)
Come with us and find brand new life
(Chorus)
Come to our world
Without a trace
Silent and unseen they wait
No sleep, no rest, no peace of mind
Lost your grasp on space and time
Two worlds, two homes will be entwined
No peace, no protest; just stay in line
(Prechorus)
Leave this world to find brand new life
(Chorus)
Come to our world
Without a trace
Silent and unseen they wait

Dread

Music: Carlos/Palma | Lyrics: Martinez/Palma/Carlos
From her bones they stripped her of humanity
Parentless and scared, they raised her as a warrior
Treading through the darkness
One light shines brighter than the rest
A godless bringer of death
He takes what he wants and destroys
Sadistic force, a winged beast mad with
Resilient brutality
But she will have revenge
(Prechorus)
Defective product
Brilliant and deadly
A light shines upon you
There can be only one
Almost human
Familiar reflection
This light shines brighter
(Chorus)
There’s no one left she’s on her own
She’ll live or she'll die here
If she gets another day
She’ll do what she must to save us [but]
One more time she's left in the end to save the rest, and defeat her enemy
But limited by consciousness, the human soul will reach for truth
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
There’s no one left she’s on her own
She’ll live or she'll die here
If she gets another day
She’ll do what she must to save us [but] [all]

Khronos
11:25
|

Music: Gutierrez | Lyrics: Palma/Gutierrez
The overseer of the living
The watchful eye of time
Created after darkness
Its heart shows no compassion
A beacon of light
The calling of Gaia
Descending on planet earth
Among the city
Among the people
Humanity at a glance
Surrounded at last
A captive’s darkest horror
The slaying of her family
Chained by the shackles of her masters
She plans out her escape
She takes the dagger
Impaling through their hearts
Blood spreads across the walls
Khronos observes
The slave has run away
Her freedom stained by resolve
The story begins
