Age Of Exploration (2008)

Survival Concept

Wasteland You see All 'round, Your path
Vanished long ago
were you all that blind?

It's the time To Wake the beast Inside
Or accept your doom
The way you're gonna die

Wake up to the smell of fire and cries of pain
Exit night now, enter light and warmth of winter days
Choices had to be made - live or crawl through filth
Don't ask if it's a gift or curse 'cause now it's both the same

[ref]
Let's face the truth
You will never admit
It is not their manipulation

To whom to sacrifice in a land devoid of gods?
And is the result really worth survival till the dusk?
High up in the Andes Death is laying siege
to those still alive with their hope away on the wind

How foolish I've been, have I been to think
I'm forlorn on the dark side – never on the bright side
In all I've been through – especially in distress
It's a high priced knowledge a nescessary trade-off
Ordered by flesh and paid by tears – bitter tears

Is this a dream or is it for real
I just need to know how can I tell
If those around me all feel the same
And no longer care

Another day is over and the price has now been paid
But somehow you can feel the outcome of your sin
You see the world in brighter shades, refuse to die in this white hell
And you can use all your strength to fulfil some more dreams

Of Triumph and Loss

Enter the battlefield
And open the graves

Hit the dirt, up again
Spreading death to save lives
Winning the battle but losing the war

Praying to the god that never really was
Denying oppressive awareness of loss
Working hard to pave the path for your progress
Struggling to see light through those dirty walls

Jumping in the fire makes you feel awake
Cravings of a fool, your life's at stake
Sailing lakes of tears, guided by hate
Hiding to get peace where poisons rule your veins

Stare at the light
The one you can feel
It's coming to sight
You're taking your chance

Your desperate will
It's too late to whine
Mind set to kill
Crowd of the blind

So much to gain
So much to loose
I feel the same
But I can choose

Between
Triumph And Loss

Tears you have shed, you'll never take them back
Truth you always seek, now it comes to be
Light of your life so far just feigned
Shines before you now but you cannot see

Dark days of your life will quickly fade away
The demon of your mind, which you want to kill
Tempted to hang on, go on with his games
Future is your choice - the image lies so still

Leaving the battlefield
Let's close the graves

No Pain, No Gain

Here it comes again, almost unnoticed
But you are riding on your wave excluding change
In sweet apathy you still dwell and hide
You're too proud to comprehend all of those lies

Arise, Sense And Taste

That seductive charm of the unknown
Throw away the hood masking your face

[ref]
Because...
There is no gain without pain
My Friend...
There is no gain without pain

Open the gates and hit the road
Let all those ghosts of the past fall behind
The course is set, so let's march out
In this deadly game there's no turning back

Yet it burns, it grips, it hurts

Yeah - it's no easy ride
But it's definitely worth the try

Then you're astonished
By the embrace of beauty so tight
Once again you enjoy shine of the sun
Burning low lights of dusk
Don't scare you anymore
And everything feels just right

Ooops,
All is screwed up you're gonna eat the dirt
Trying stand up making things worse
Accept the fact − you're going down

Even though you‘ve lost you‘ve put up some show
But this time you feel it's the hardest blow
Your mind is crippled, soul is scarred
All you have to do is to push yourself hard

To Kneel, Heal And Rise

From sorrowful depths where hope is not
Where the phantoms of the oath are chasing your ass

Crematoria

I don't know this place, nor why I'm here
Standin' on the tortured face of this burnin' sphere
Where the day is hunter and the night is prey
Feelin' like I'm sheltered, but it can't be this way

Maybe it's punishment, maybe deliverance
To run so far so long to take last chance

Bittersweet peace of my mind
For me here in this void

[ref]
So I chose this painful fate, which took me on this road
Road weaved by whispers and leading me to the end
End which I had feared the most for all of my life
Life full of betrayal which just can't be forgiven

My dark desires, took me by surprise
To break the chains, that bind my strength

Beyond the sun, where I can find
Eternal joy for my mind
In the shadows for so long
Freedom awaits only for strong

Sad utopia
Defies who we are
Deepest fobia
Crematoria

Berserkgang

Do you feel outnumbered, thoughts again in disarray
Did you wear the standard that has been taken away
Vicious new beginning is all what you crave the most
In this wicked rotten world – let's tear it down

[ref]
Berserkgang
Brothers In Arms Called In From Hell
Berserkgang
From Eternity In Damnation Rise
Berserkgang

Sinister war masters unholy saviors of man's breed
Are awaken from the slumber as well as their monstrous greed
Burning trail of violence devouring all those truly false
Creating new world order on the ashes of the slain

Let's think

Now the peace is upon you although you paid cruel price
you got chance to make the difference in avoiding false value creation
to prevent the corruption of those who are easily seduced by easy path
beware

Thousand years of calmness has now passed in your world
But the threat of terror has again bewitched the herd
The ancient legacy now your time finally come
Brace yourself my friends and unleash hell!

Thrash Talk

I spoke to that nerd with nothing bad in mind
But in return just got kicked from behind
Well I need to think, why I've been so kind
How for god's sake could I've been so blind
Now… burst of anger

Eyes dilated wide and blood flow running wild
The only thing I feel is the shiver down my spine
With my options narrowed down
All I need to grasp is sensation of ecstasy
Ecstasy of pain

Just to burn you up
Solution's made up
Beat and Break and Blight and Fight
Kick and Hit and Strike and Flight

I've tried to make my usual smooth ride
Bloodred eyesight as my only guide
Considering nobody will stand by my side
And all this because I've opened too wide
It's... fuel for hatred

Unable to locate its source
Unable to slow down your force
Feeling like master of the world

I'm ready for... Heresy
I'm gonna feel... Ecstasy
I'm thirsty for... Adrenaline
I'm all set to... Do you in

Others just stare... Jealously
Hunger for more... Anxiously
Hearing this foul... Melody
Causing so deep... Injury

Snatching Your Fate

I am walking along the shore
Moonlight in my eyes
Tonight's calm tide
Just caress my heart
I feel this strange heat again
Thought it has to be
Lost in these dreadful times
So I try to

Scream with all my strength
And try to reach for my stars

Stars so long unseen
By these tired eyes
Floating in the glowing void
Bathing in delight
Asking morning of new day
If it has to come
In break of this sweet loneliness
so precious ...

Here I stand
As always in despair
Should I take the brand?
And become a hypocrite
To see for myself
Do I have the right?
To expose desire
Burning out of sight

Looking down faint road
Diffluent in cross
One way to purgatory
Another to paradise

Just don't wake me right now
This time of sorrow and joy is mine

I just want to
Scream with all my strength
And try to reach for my stars
Just don't wake me right now
This time of sorrow and joy is mine

Flying over plains, where dreams are being born
but still I know - none of it is for me

It's time to wake up now you need to look up a path to escape
This game was for you and you acted like a fool snatching your fate

Victims

Any blind obedience of the rules of man is a deception of one's own will
When a man chooses to be deaf to the voice of his soul
He also chooses to label himself... a victim

You thought now you are different
All your black deeds that you've done
Gave you the strength but poor onr though
Gun's blind stare into your eyes
Mind's awkard sense of certainity
You oughter jine as hollow puppet

[ref]
Burning my eyes
I'm so blind
And I feel the pain
I feel the pain

Hiding inside
I'm so tired
I'm victim for life
Victim for life

The lonely hound with his terrible bark
Stalks and creeps in for a bite
This is the end of cold sanity
Behold the real pictures of life
It's against your endless faith
Now stand up to see it yourself

Brutality of our days
Seems to last forever
Parade of sheer indifference
Swallowing our endeavours

Emptiness of these fine times
Torture low creatures' weak mind
Charade of mean vanity
Breaks our independent will

I walk the streets and see only dead
I feel like only one to be alive
Violent images glimpse in my head
I've never been able to see through the lie

Quarrels that destroy days
Can be replaced by little joys
Your confusion begins to grow
To be witness of a bullet ride
This ain't solution for anybody
Your eyes begin to open up

Faceless Dog

So I’ve come too far, sunrays in the back
Blood starts to boil, weapon in the hand
Mass of unknown kind on my hollow side

As I walk battlefield, feeling I could use another round
Body count of the eve showin’ my destiny’s being blood bound
Yet my petty mind is clear, hearing the death’s creepy sound
Brings the motherfuckin’ feel, saying truth about me that I found

Streaming blood
Eyes of wrath
Innocent face

Slave of their dreams
Hard bullet tide
Bonfire of death

Fell straight down
Guts been smashed
Tunnel of light

Face…
Less…
Faceless Dog…

Now’s the time to die - prepare hellish ride
My trip will be long, entered Charon’s boat
Dark waters of Styx, dissolves my body

As I enter thy empty sphere, killing everything you left behind
Every moment you hold dear changing gladly to the hollow kind
Dire shepherd of the fear your life’s beeing eternaly bind
Shade of revenge breathe feeding on the dark side of your mind

Now I stand at the end, trying to speak with my creator
Time for me to defend realising I was the dictator
Gates of damnation are opened voices I slain pave the way
But I know the deal - this isn’t my ultimate day
