One Day

Wake up my friend it’s a new world
Across the land the wheel turns
It does not slow or start turning faster
It’s the same that it ever was
One day
Somewhere
One day
Somehow
One day
Somewhere
One day
Eyes will open that were born closed
The one we will need while death comes to coast
The chosen one will breathe
Praying long nights in the temple
Sun touches golden fields
Wars rage on and peace looms
Savior king is near
What a day to be alive
Breathe in the air
Breathe in the dust
What a day to be alive
Breathe in the air
Breathe in the dust
Welcome to the world
This is not the end
This is not the end
Doors open doors closed
Chaos reigns gods know
Michael
He is the one
He is the one
Eyes will open that were born closed
The one we will lean on while death comes to coast
The chosen one will breathe
Michael
Eyes will open that were born closed
The one we will need while death comes to coast
The chosen one will breathe

God's Not Enough
05:30
|

I am a king
I am a god
The rest are nothing
Nothing but dirt and seed and sod
I am a king
I am a god
Look at you now
And where you will be
Remember the prophecy
Cure history
Look at you now
And where you will be
Remember the prophecy
I am a king
I am a god
The rest are nothing
Nothing but dirt and seed and sod
Look at me now
And where you will be
Begging
Screwing
Screaming
Bleeding
Look at the rest
What a mess
You are god; so handsome, gleaming
You are the best to impress
Take back what is yours (what is yours)
Make them go on all fours (on all fours)
Claw back into their caves (into their caves)
Believe in the deranged (in the deranged)
Here I am
Look at me
I will mate
With history
God’s not enough
Not enough for me
When you are born
From a prophecy
Here I am
Look at me
I will mate
With history
Take back what is yours (what is yours)
Make them go on all fours (on all fours)
Claw back into their caves (into their caves)
Believe in the deranged (in the deranged)

Control
05:42
|

We don’t need them anymore
(We don’t need them anymore)
Let’s get this going
We need control
We don’t need someone who sins
Leader who led and rode in
Leader who fights and storms
Father of fights and revolution
Power back to the source
No more leaders without remorse
Changing tides, changing minds
History is written in blood
From the Sunderlands to the Isles
A battle and fight stretches miles and miles
The people distracted all the while
They don't know that their power will eventually fall
We don’t need someone who sins
Leader who led and rode in
Leader who fights and storms
Father of fights and revolution
Power back to the source
No more leaders without remorse
Changing tides, changing minds
History is written in blood
Tell them all
Close and far
We are here to stay
Tell them all
Close and far
We are not going away
Power back to the source
No more leaders without remorse
Changing tides, changing minds
History is written in blood

Death is a Sentence
07:22
|
|||
Revolution echoes throughout
Fighting without a doubt
What is this all for instead
Sons and fathers dead
The Empire must go
Swords and shields gold
Fight kill stab bleed
Pour blood drink mead
We’ve been under the bridge too long
Now they pay the toll
Fight and more
Bow and sword
End your fear
Death is near
Stab kill murder scream
A life is only worth what it dreams
Pain for peace or peace for pain
For freedom they wage this bloody campaign
All across the land
Every child woman and man
Break these chains of oppression
Take up arms and lead the procession
If this isn’t hell
It sure ain’t heaven
Death is a word
Death is a sentence
We’ve been under the bridge too long
Now they pay the toll
Fight and more
Bow and sword
End your fear
Death is near
The people will rise
Rise together
The islands are winning
The empire runs back to the sea
Beating them back
Onward to victory

The Isle
06:45
|

Across the ocean
A destiny in motion
The fighting is over
Just a past soldier
I’ve been waiting my whole life
To see what they have for me
Wizened in red robes
The men who are holy
I will be fair
I will be just
The empire has gone
In their rust
This is my time
This is my hour
You can’t stop me
Seizin’ my power
There I will be in all the stories
Turn the pages
Read my glorys
Soon I will arrive
Sailing true
I will take lead of this coup
I will do
What I should
I will be great
Let it be understood
I will have enemies
I will have friends
But only one group
Will be alive in the end
I will have lovers
I will have slaves
All the entire world will learn
To bow and worship my name
All will shout it
With joy and glee
I will take part
In a story called history
I will be fair
I will be just
The empire has gone
In their rust
This is my time
This is my hour
You can’t stop me
Seizin’ my power
There I will be in all the stories
Turn the pages
Read my glorys
Soon I will arrive
Sailing true
I will take lead of this coup
Climb to the temple
And I have arrived
It is said that you priests
Who are so old and wise
Can bestow me with power
So let’s start the ritual
I know I’m the one the rest are residual
Look Michael I know you’ve been living your whole life
Waiting for your fate to become your right
We don’t know what you’re sayin’ but it’s impolite
Maybe what you’re saying is that the empire lied
We’re all so sorry Michael, we’ve got nothing for you here
But you can stay all you’d like, let us be clear
Our prayers have told us nothing, nothing of you
But your life still has meaning if you just follow through
So if I just follow through?
I’m the chosen one, that’s enough out of you
For me to rule is my right
If you don’t agree, good night
You think you’re all mighty because you bow and pray
Staying in the temple all day, you’re turning all grey
You say it doesn’t exist but it’s my life
You’ll all learn the truth straight from the blade of my knife
I will never know
I will never see
Why I will be consumed in greed
Oh well
These are my minutes outside of hell
I am fair
I am just
the empire has left
The priests are rust
I am the one we need
in these strange times

Nothing at All
03:33
|

What is done
There must be
Bloodied hands, no victory
I will flee
In the night
None will know and
Fear my might
I’ll go to claim
My throne
All shall see
Rightfully
That I shall rule
For I’m no fool
How did it even come to this?
It didn’t have to be
But I am still the one
To take up my crown and lead the people
And leave this curséd isle
And all will hear my plea
The prophecy
I’m no fool
It was promised
It was promised
Promised to me
Remember their lies
And their taken lives
Saying no prayers
Or sermons now
I’ll still be king
It’s my privilege
How did it even come to this?
It didn’t have to be
But I am still the one
To take up my crown and lead the people
And leave this curséd isle
And all will hear my plea
The prophecy
Empire
Come back
The empire
Will come back
Most of it was for nothing
For nothing
Nothing at all
How did it even come to this?
It didn’t have to be
But I am still the one
To take up my crown and lead the people
I'll leave this curséd isle
And all will hear my plea
That prophecy
King Michael I’ll be
Prophetic decree
Back ‘cross the sea
As I foresee

The Cycle
06:24
|
|||
The cycle never stops
Where is your god
Michael you were on top
Oh god
They are back
Back in town
You thought they were gone
Well you were wrong
Empire’s back
Back in the game
Who was that guy
I think Michael was his name
Falling away
All that was fought for
Now it’s gone
Nothing more
What was the point
If this is where we would end up
What was the point
If we would just fade away
The cycle never stops
Where is your god
Michael you were on top
Oh god
He was a man of destiny
Or so he thought
He was a god and king
Or so he thought
But I know this
That he will serve
As a warning
The cycle never stops
Where is your god
Michael you were on top
Oh god
