Tracklist: 01. The Culling [Instrumental] 02. The Dead Beside Us Verse 1 Humanity has crumbled By its own hand The stench of plague besets the earth Legions of dead beside us In festering ranks Feel the warmth of life is gone Chorus Witness the days of wrath All nations fall Onward unto our doom Until the last Verse 2 Ever towards extinction We are led We are fodder, we are enslaved Ignorance our prison Arrogance their throne All of humanity is slain Chorus Witness the days of wrath All nations fall Onward unto our doom Until the last 03. Dominion Enthroned Verse 1 A creed of disorder A beacon is raised Order by chaos Till all are enslaved Like lambs to the slaughter, We grovel on our knees They mold our minds We are servile and weak Chorus For this life that I've led Is my freedom denied? For all that I've bled Is all this a lie? The will of the few Imposed on the horde Disarmed, we submit And resist no more Verse 2 Our doctrine usurped Dominion enthroned They scavenge our wealth Like carrion from bone A poisoned nectar Discharged from their lips They reject our values And profane our flesh Chorus And for this life that I've led Is my freedom denied? For all that I've bled Is all this a lie? The will of the few Imposed on the horde Disarmed, they submit And resist no more Heed, obey, comply Heed, obey, submit Extermination through complete devastation Til our species is wiped from the earth Purification through obliteration Cleansed by the spring which we thirst 04. The High Order Good evening, people of Free America. This is former Secretary of Defense, Frank Knight. Though it is at great personal risk, I feel it my duty to share the information I have in hopes that your resolve may one day restore the republic. In the days following the grid collapse, I was removed from my position and held captive so that I would not talk; however, I managed to escape when my location was attacked by those loyal to The Resistance. As you know, a permanent, military state exists across the country. What you have not been told is that this measure was achieved by way of the secret deployment of the M9E bio-weapon disguised as an act of God. As our country rapidly deteriorated, the public called for increased Government intervention for containment purposes. With meticulous and secretive planning, prominent politicians expanded the intervention; using major cities as massive detention centers and sealing their outer perimeters. Any of those that resisted, attempted escape, or spoke in opposition were labeled a threat and quickly eliminated. Dubbing themselves the High Order, these powerful politicians dissolved the authorities of Congress and the president then joined what was the United States of America to a tyrannical global order. In a perfectly executed scheme, these individuals leveraged the crisis to form an imperial body of rulers that has eliminated your Constitutional freedoms; a maneuver that it enforces with a persistent, domestic military presence. The High Order fears only the unity of the people, so it seeks to detain and indoctrinate you while stripping you of your humanity. The Resistance movement is growing in the mountainous northwest regions of the country. Seek out this movement, and bind yourselves to its cause. I offer you no other solutions; only the hope that a victory is rooted in the bonds of your unity. Technology will not be at your disposal, and you are facing an enemy with superior numbers and weaponry. You must be unmerciful and unyielding in your struggle, for only together can we dethrone this tyranny. Frank Knight, over and out. 05. Anthem of Defiance Verse 1 Who am I who dares to tread Beyond where all have dared before? I refuse to die in these chains And I will bow to them no more Chorus Along the way I pass those who've fallen The few who've bled in defiance On and on this road is paved with sorrow On and on still I will not stray Verse 2 Who am I to scream aloud When all the voices here are still? Without fear into the fray Alone, I'll raze the tower walls Chorus Along the way I pass those who've fallen The few who've bled in defiance On and on this road is paved with sorrow On and on still I will not stray Bridge I defy I arise Chorus Along the way I pass those who've fallen The few who've bled in defiance On and on this road is paved with sorrow On and on still I will not stray 06. From Ashes Unto Stone We are all brethren here Though hope is shattered and we are broken We are all brethren here Though our banner is torn A parasitic state Dividing us by race and culture A parasitic state With our blood on its hands Take this oath, take this stand Our will as one can't be undone From bended knees arise One voice united in this fight We are silenced no more And if we fall this day Our lives shall not have been in vain Rise from ashes unto stone We are still alive Though we are shunned and our world in ruins We are still alive And we shall weep no more Descending to the fray The rage within has been awaken Descending to the fray Just to live one more day By our oaths, by our blood Our will as one can't be undone From bended knees arise One voice united in this fight We are silenced no more And if we fall this day Our lives shall not have been in vain Rise from ashes unto stone And with the rising sun We conquer our fear as one Dethrone the monolith Our banner aloft of the ash 07. The Fray [Instrumental] 08. The Resistance Verse 1 Complete compliance, our thoughts are silenced Shunned are those who question why Incarceration or eradication With abdication, we defy Chorus 1 Thus unto tyrants We are no longer silenced This is the nexus We are the resistance Verse 2 Dehumanization through capitulation In ignorance, we obey We are awakened to these provocations Dissention and scorn in our voice Chorus 2 Thus unto tyrants We are no longer silenced This is the nexus We are the resistance 09. A Veil of Black Intro I speak your name to the stars I hear your voice from afar I taste your sweet amber lips And I'd die for one last kiss Verse 1 Life withers in the earth ore your grave Winter is here again Memories are all of you I could save And I'm broken from these hopeless days Chorus Though you're gone I still feel your grace But my eyes Cannot see your face Wounded and I can't stop the bleeding There is refuge within your embrace Verse 2 Spring blossoms are upon the branch There is hope among the ash When the fire within me has dimmed Veil me in black and hold me again Chorus Though you're gone I still feel your grace But my eyes Cannot see your face Drowning and I can’t reach the surface You lift me above relentless tides 10. All That Withers Verse 1 Unbridled, Unbonded Unshackled hands With two fists held skyward In defiance we stand Chorus Fragments of ash and cinder Bitten by blight, disfigured Scarred, but unbroken by the strain Kissed by all that withers Scourged, atrophied and splintered We are bloodied but unbowed Verse 2 Undaunted, Unbeaten Unyielding will Our anthem sent skyward The wrath within can’t be quelled Chorus Fragments of ash and cinder Bitten by blight, disfigured Scarred, but unbroken by the strain Kissed by all that withers Scourged, atrophied and splintered We are bloodied but unbowed Outro We are servants to no one And their final days have come With two fists held unto the sky Unbroken We have stripped their flesh from bone Their dominion is dethroned With two fists held unto the sky Unbroken 11. Memento Mori Intro Take me down To where I'll lie Unbind my wounds I'm resigned to die Yon the kingdom burns Before me Before me Verse 1 Though victory is ours at last I despair for future days All men are doomed to forget All roads are bound to stray Pre-chorus 1 The flames of greed Once again will rise Our children will weep Where their fathers die Chorus So, take me down To where I'll lie Unbind my wounds I'm resigned to die Yon the kingdom burns Before me Solo Verse 2 Justice defiled, ruled by the lash We drank of a long parched well Our ideals inhumed in ash The republic finally fell Pre-Chorus 2 Our flesh is marred Our youth bereft The pain of these scars We must not forget Chorus So, take me down To where I'll lie Unbind my wounds I'm resigned to die Yon the Kingdom burns Before me 12. Without Wings Verse I With darkness I plead Lay your veil on me Hand in hand our shadows dance A barren world before my eyes It wanes beneath these blackened skies Like stone against the wind Battered by the sands Now I've weathered all I can Chorus On bleeding knees I reach for the sky Though without wings My spirit cannot fly A dying sparrow In my hands With all these wounds There's nothing left for me to mend Verse II A shade cast over me And none are left to weep As I lay my head down Like the bird without flight Come winter I am left behind Like frost unto a flower I crumble o're my bower My brittle pedals swept away Chorus On bleeding knees I reach for the sky Though Without wings My spirit cannot fly A dying sparrow In my hands With all these wounds There's nothing left for me to mend A mortal shroud Adorns me now Though I bleed I am still unbowed 13.
