All Towers Must Fall Brothers! Trust not the kings of this world trust not the snakes by the crowns on their heads The scorching of septic flesh, the riddance of the yoke they have lured upon us, scorching into our flesh the melting of golden crown into ploughshares Be not like the princes rip not your heart of flesh out in search of a golden one glory of this world is but vapour All towers will tear and fall to the ground Trust not the kings of this world for ever to their shackles they us bind look for not to their sliver for hope, that blinding glimmer Let not our thoughts be bent to the ways of their greed for ever like a rabid mongrel greed bite the hands that feeds it Let justice be wreaked on the wolves of their thrones Brothers! Let us be rid of this curse let us be different, let us inverse The riches of this world are but vapour, towers ready to fall In the valley of death we are all beggars Their castles will crumble, and the waves run them over and grind them to sand All towers must fall, throne rooms and gilded halls facing the flood of an unending tide All tyrants will crawl, like the snakes they were stealing, making idols for their own destruction false flames in the hearts of man All flesh will rot, all hearts will stop We will look for embers of humanity in the ashes of the empires brought to justice 7. Torn Apart Self-inflicted mental scars protected by memories old Seeing something from a different view it could not help less Broken and beaten I face another day unleashed into this cold world Mistrust and decay I couldn't care less Continuing this seemingly hopeless journey scars from the past push aside the pain alive but not living the life of the undead Still you remain and maintain your powers trying my best to neglect your ways Victory seems so far gone death just a razors edge away Mistrust and decay I couldn't care less My life is not worth living how can I stand this pain there is no reason to exist I wasn't asked to join this sick game Self-inflicted mental scars protected by memories old seeing something from a different view it could not help Praying for more than hope is the only light in this darkness torn apart as I may be Ready to be rebuilt 8. Tilflukt [Instrumental] 9. Benighted Her kisses were like being embraced by life itself dressed in a funeral gown she was more beautiful than I ever could remember The true source overwhelms me embraced by this entity the fullness of her beauty lacks the imperfection of humanity Like an angel she came but like a demon she flew away joy turned to sadness hope turned to hate Fooled yet again by the lies of mankind fooled yet again by the lies Like an angel she came but like a demon she flew away joy turned to sadness hope turned to hate All alone I wander in the darkness lost and dazed I cease to exist visions of old comes to mind I've been through this before Joy turned to sadness hope turned to hate Will I ever dare to feel again or is this my everlasting bitter end 10. Mørkets Grøde Smerte, min kjærkomne venn du svikter ei når alt annet er ikledd bedrag Lyset, så ukjent og fjernt minner om en gammel kjenning som nå fordømmer hvert steg og hver tanke jeg tenker Her er alt jeg eier min sorg, min angst, mitt dødsønske så ikke kom her og redd meg jeg vil heller drepes enn å glemme den sorg jeg har Jeg forakter alt som glimer av håp og mine øyne har lukket seg for godt nå ser jeg døden sende roser med mitt navn det varmer godt i en utgrått sjel, det fyller opp mitt savn Se minnene brenner se ordene svir se blemmene skapt av svikende frender se mitt bryst revet opp av kjærlighetens løgn Her er alt jeg eier min sorg, min angst, mitt dødsønske så ikke kom her og redd meg jeg vil heller drepes enn å glemme den sorg jeg har Smerte, min kjærkomne venn du sviktet ei, du har fulgt meg til veis ende Ser du lyset min gamle kjenning? det er tid for å ta farvel men vi sees nok atter igjen Lars Stokstad ‒ Guitars, Vocals (clean) Ronny Hansen ‒ Vocals Jo Henning Børven ‒ Drums Robert Bordevik ‒ Guitars, Vocals (backing) Nickolas Main Henriksen ‒ Synthetizers Erik Normann Aanonsen ‒ Bass Thor Georg Buer ‒ Guitars
