Tyranny 04:19
A great man the nation broke A golden flood for men to choke A merchant drives an army of slaves Body bags formation parade We raise our flags, we hold our breath For a dream that's died within our heads And the bells toll for freedom's death Refuse a crown but buy a throne Corruption takes but cannot own Marble halls stuffed full to bleed A people driven onto their knees We raise our flags, we hold our breath For a dream that's died within our heads And the bells toll for freedom's death

Brutus 04:55
In darker skies, the streets are shaking The children play with bloodied knives The barracks full, the soldiers smiling The sickness comes as cheap as life Shadows play in dirty gutters Running red with brother’s lives Beyond the fear, whispered rebellion The people cry out in the night Brutus, are you sleeping? Can't you see the writing on the wall? Brutus, can you hear them screaming? Can you wake up, can you stand tall? Within our beds there is no safety When they knock upon our door And no one asks many questions When you're seen never more Brutus, are you sleeping? Can't you see the writing on the wall? Brutus, can you hear them screaming? Can you wake up, can you stand tall? Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?

Conspiracy 05:02
The time has come in certainty The moment of our history The time to strike in this high body From bondage we deliver we No more wreaths laid at his feet No more parades in the street The gold you take makes liberty weep From bondage we deliver we The bloodied truth will set us free Whispered veins of conspiracy The deed be done and done it will be From bondage we deliver we The bloodied truth will set us free Whispered veins of conspiracy The deed be done and done it will be From bondage we deliver we Brothers, meet in secrecy Ideals soaked in purity Praise the unity of the deed From bondage we deliver we The time has come in certainty The moment of our history The time to strike in this high body From bondage we deliver we The bloodied truth will set us free Whispered veins of conspiracy The deed be done and done it will be From bondage we deliver we The bloodied truth will set us free Whispered veins of conspiracy The deed be done and done it will be From bondage we deliver we

Libertas 03:45
They say the day is coming Behind the walls in this town When all the plans will see fruition And bring the whole throne room down So it is, with tyrants We have to rise to see them fall The blade shines without frustration And liberty for one and all The say the slave has no mercy When they rise to their whiphand We say it now, in full sedition No mercy will be shown across this land And so it is, with tyrants We have to rise to see them fall The blade shines without frustration And liberty for one and all

Nemesis 03:49
Wolf to wolf and wolf to God The raging seas of the mob Bloodied hands beneath the sun The treachery has just begun The tides of hearts quick to turn As kings of tin are quick to burn Oaths of piety repealed Calls of power always appeal Liberation cannot survive Where knaves and rogues breed and thrive Thousands march with gold and knives Always how freedom dies

I saw a storm of tears and mourn Bursting flames at break of dawn Dried my eyes and raised my head Kissed the pearl, marble and red And though we fall Bleed and crawl Better a dented shield Than no shield at all Fight and lose, born to choose To cry in fear, or rise and bruise No shame is there to say you care To let your rage have its share To answer every call Fight for every cause Better a dented shield Than no shield at all Take my hand, and fate be damned We'll make our stand, across this land Too strong my dear to live in fear And far too proud to live in this shroud Until the iron walls Tumble and fall Better a dented shield Than no shield at all To answer every call Fight for every cause Better a dented shield Than no shield at all Take my hand, and fate be damned We'll make our stand, across this land Too strong my dear to live in fear And far too proud to live in this shroud Until the iron walls Tumble and fall Better a dented shield Than no shield at all Until the iron walls Tumble and fall Better a dented shield Than no shield at all

The wheel turns The world burns You too, child You too, child Time shows What the wind knows You too, child You too, child...
