1.	Choke on the Seeds 04:38	lyrics	download
Verse 1_ Reach for the heavens It's always just beyond your grasp Yet you build your towers Forged with mortal sorcery Modern day alchemist Have you learned nothing from your past? You can't change lead to gold Or metal to life Chorus 1_ Prideful... Ignorant... Feckless... You'll spend your waking days Toiling in futility You ate from the tree of knowledge In your greed you bit off more than you can chew Damned by your gluttony Forever doomed to choke on the seeds Verse 2_ Like a cheap magician Everyone already knows your tricks You keep up the illusion Chained to redundancy Obsessed with your own pretension Ambition has made you blind The truth is a bitter fruit Your efforts only serve to entertain Chorus 2_ Prideful... Ignorant... Feckless... You'll spend your waking days Toiling in futility You ate from the tree of knowledge In your greed you bit off more than you can chew Damned by your gluttony You are... FOREVER DOOMED TO CHOKE ON THE SEEDS [Breakdown 1] Try as you might You will never reach Divinity Try as you might You will never reach Divinity [Breakdown 2]
2.	Dogs of War 05:07	lyrics	download
Verse 1_ Silence The fear of impending doom The clouds circle the battleground Like scavengers in the sky Ready to descend upon the carrion And tear flesh from bone All while the generals sit inside Safe from the coming storm Chorus_ Witness the mass destruction By your own design It consumes everything Leaving nothing in its wake All are reduced to figures All numbers but your name Throw caution to the wind Unleash the dogs of war Verse 2_ All hail the invention Of cowardice The assailant's face lies hidden Behind a veil of lead An entire army of faceless men Fight in their master's stead All to prevent a coward's death Chorus_ Witness the mass destruction By your own design It consumes everything Leaving nothing in its wake All are reduced to figures All numbers but your name Throw caution to the wind Unleash the dogs of war [Breakdown 1] Bridge_ You've hid for so long That you can't even find yourself A thin and wasted being Behind a grand disguise You're nothing but a useless cur An orphaned child The bastard son Of circumvention [Guitar solo] [Breakdown 2] You're nothing but a useless cur An orphaned child You're nothing but a useless cur An orphaned child You're nothing but a useless cur An orphaned child You're nothing but a useless cur You're nothing but a useless cur
3.	Revolution of Tyranny 04:02	lyrics	download
Verse 1_ From the ashes of the tyrant A successor is born Sired by violence More depraved and wicked than the last Years of unending torment Have increased the knowledge of the art Through pain the mind is focused And injustice set in stone Each reincarnation Is built upon its predecessor The evolution of tyranny Is grounded in past lessons learned Enter... A new level of Hell Chorus_ Repetition Is the child of contempt The act of torture Begets its continuance Fueled by hatred With a heart turned to stone He who was once tortured Becomes the torturer Verse 2_ To object is defiance The truth is a lie Steadfast in your obstinance The prison soon becomes your home Feel the darkness penetrate The very fiber of your being That which is lost to the void Is forever gone Evil cannot be mortal So long as hate remains alive The embers of suffering Still glow with the pain inflicted Enter... A new level of Hell Chorus_ Repetition Is the child of contempt The act of torture Begets its continuance Fueled by hatred With a heart turned to stone He who was once tortured Becomes the torturer [Guitar solo] Verse 3_ From the ashes of the tyrant A successor is born Sired by violence More depraved and wicked than the last Years of unending torment Have increased the knowledge of the art Through pain the mind is focused And injustice set in stone Rise up from your sorrow Your predecessor dead beneath your feet Take your rightful place The circle is complete
