I Realize 01:20
(Instrumental)

The Trial 03:37
This is the day we’ll find our way This is the day we’ll get our say This is the day we’ll break away This is the day we judge the grey Lost, fooled broken souls In this juried hall Only strength of will Can prevail What if there’s no good? What if good is wrong? One will make the call Play along The Trial starts within dead walls Where we made these unjust calls Media public retribution But we still hope for reparation Down the stairs of humiliation Saved by wealthy demons They took their time away Silenced with nothing to say Quickly forgave with impunity This ends the day that got away This ends the day we had no say This is the day that justice frayed
3.
Trust & Live 04:04
I was taught, many years ago That life is a gift and it’s free As time passed me by These eyes began to see Now the only thing I miss is how it used to be The wise sheep, blows his head off Another day, where spending can’t break the rut We fulfill these unneeded desires, in the midst of this struggle to stay alive The Great Maw of the 21st Century Trust and live A short term vision has spread through our system We place value on what won’t stand the test of time It’s a quick relief that consumes generations Arise again the Great Maw of our Century Finally, I cleared my mind This is not a lost cause I’m not the hero I always dreamed of In fact, none of us are… Black sheep are not the cause of all plagues We’re just human striving to shine This is one of my attempts Not the first nor the last
4.
Echoes 04:06
Echoes, Echoes, Echoes, Echoes from another time Echoes, Echoes, Echoes, Echoes from another time This is my time to speak. Anyone can say I am dying to live. Anyone can see This is torture this is a hole To follow the pace of machines, losing the freedom of our soul! And in dreams of another world Where my visions are the past Last time I let myself scream I Shouted and heard the echo! This sweet sound that lay in the cradle of our native land Just take a look around you and see. This is our chance to save the day Break the steel, earth retakes its place Spend this life, counting your days And in dreams of another world Where my visions are the past To leave a place that is ungrateful This wish to be the last
5.
Modern Hero 04:06
Chased by thieves Trapped in a dead end alley Beaten with no regrets Left half conscious in a broken state Hoped for someone to come But all witnesses were gone The modern Hero won’t die for you The modern Hero won’t save you to The real hero died years ago The modern Hero won’t stop for you Little Chinese girl was crushed on the street Stunned people stare and walk by. Indifferent to her cries, never will know if she’d died Now courage is a lying stream I dream of a savior wearing a white robe He’ll save us, he’ll keep our town from depredation Chasing the wicked, to each end of the world, ‘til his final day Raised proudly, this monument his throne
6.
Anthem 05:42
What will be left when I leave Who will be here when I’m gone Traces of paths will remain Shades of my life will sustain What if I planned to stay here? I’d cry in this moment of fear I could not have seen down this road I couldn’t help you so I wrote… this Anthem for your life! Father, you left me so early Now I’m lost! I know your time was up I feel we didn’t share enough Seems like the memories will fade away What if I fell on my knees? To pray in this moment of need Now I can’t see through all the tears I need to move on face the fear I hope that you will watch over me That what you’ve accomplished survives me I hope to follow your path and say “Anywhere you are, Rest in peace” You’re not here anymore It’s now that I realize You’re gone forever, a door has closed You’re not here anymore It’s now that I realize The door that closed was my heart and soul What will be left when I leave Who will be here when I’m gone Traces of paths will remain Shades of my life will sustain You’re not here anymore It’s now that I realize Gone and forever, a new door opens You’re not here anymore But within me still alive The door is open to my heart and soul
7.
Escape 04:47
What is it to fear for your life What is it to shiver all inside What is it to dig your own grave When was it, you were so brave? I thought I'd find a way to make it up to me Blood on my hands and still not being free My days are numbered, can't hide inside my mind I need to leave this place, it's time to say goodbye Back in time, should've known How could I predict my fall The madness of my demon is known This reign of fear's been overthrown Nowadays, it's a scheme We've unleashed an evil dream The days of trust are buried under the age of lust. It's our demise
8.
I Don't Care 05:24
They refused to acknowledge the truth or evidence Holding people under a reign of ignorance Take it or leave it but I'm not a believer As if evil lived in evolution Strange ideals and a hidden story Could unveil the past and free our souls I don’t care if you try to break me I don’t care that your faith rejects me I don’t care that you place your hate at my kind I don’t care but I do care that the world is going blind You admire these symbols of desperation They aren't your only salvation Believe in yourself cause a God can't do that for you. Stand tall when on your own In the end, you're not alone A message of love on a sharp blade The hand of God was lost by man
9.
Road 04:23
Leap from stone to stone So far from home Time seems to run out Feeling old I wanna feel the road and leave the world behind I wanna see with my own eyes The sky isn't always blue, it's my time to try Now is the time to show who I am inside Take me to the road, don't leave me dying on the row Need to get on board, cause I'm drowning on the shore Kill me will you please cause I'm tired of wasting days Got to find this road before it's too late Life breeds too much stress Seeking hope Driving miles on end Feeling whole This is the choice I made, I swear, I'm not blind No one can stop my will to fight A hard stone won't change its shape, it's clear and well defined I'm about to see from the outside
10.
Monopoly 03:10
Life is ruled by monopoly Quick trades for property All we are is equity An indifferent rivalry We were fine in the early plays Hoped we would get a taste Then we had to fall on hidden tolls I thought I’d like this game So close to bankruptcy Unjust Economy A lucky roll, might set you free So much for strategy Some say conspiracy What about democracy? Life shouldn’t have to be pretend This game will never end Trapped on the boardwalk of a hotel Far from “Chance”, one step to “Go” The foreclosure of the game Time to renew ourselves Rebuild from scratch again Social credit has shed a light Open eyes’ll see it bright Life was lost by monopoly All trades brought poverty All banks still alive and well Fight this monopoly Fight this monopoly
11.
Climbing stairs of falling dreams About to play the final scene The tower’s high, the time is now A new wind blows, for us to grow If you go and leave the show The pain won’t go away All the same it stays Cause you don’t want to pay Life will go astray Nations stare and hesitate To get involved or tolerate Hands are tied by interest rates They kneeled down and sealed their fate Kill the Fascists Break the walls Kill the liars Make them fall Take the hammer For your pride Put their banner Out of sight

Boldly combining elements of old school metal, NWBHM, modern metal and rock, the band loves fast tempos, melodic vocals and all-around high-octane music with each track coming from the heart and reflecting the way its members think about the world.
