Shark City 03:50
lyrics
In a city, oh so dark Full of vultures, full of sharks I sweat and bleed digging my way To a brighter, better day Blinded by wealth and success They have gathered for the mass They have gathered for the feast They’re all here to feast on me ... in hell For people like you there’s a special place in hell For people like you there’s a special place in ... This city’s the enemy Trying so hard to consume me She will never rest until she watches me go down Living among predators They’ve managed to build a kingdom Eating each other alive to earn a blackened crown Wolfs and Sharks Try to rip me apart Snakes and Vultures Kings of a blackened culture Living dead and vampires They have built an empire So sick and rotten to the core They feast on the week and the poor Babylonian Kings and Queens All slaves to a big machine But I won’t rest, I will not turn Until I watch this kingdom burn

When There's No More Room In Hell 04:16
lyrics
You’ve spent your days going after money and success Now you’re a slave to your American express But one day you’ll find out there’s Things money can’t buy And that the life you’ve lived was Nothing but a lie All your rainbows painted grey All your dreams faded away Nine to five, Monday to Friday They walk the earth Choking in suit and tie, begging For a rebirth Nine to five, Monday to Friday They go to hell Eaten alive by a monster They’ve served so well So was it worth this filthy Empire you’ve built When you put yourself to sleep With regret and guilt Secretly craving thoughts and dreams That you once had Now every morning all you do’s Waking up dead Live a life of dying days Fucked up by the money chase When there's no more room in hell ... the dead will walk the earth Are they alive? Are they asleep? Or just fallen in this too deep? Will they come back? Will they return? Or are they all condemned to burn? As I look into their dead eyes They’re trying to come back to life But for this now it is too late What’s done is done, they’ve sealed their fates Now you reign in hell

Funeral Party 03:59
lyrics
Come let’s fuck shit up Let’s do this all together Little do we know We will not live forever In this house each of us Is an equal member So let us make sure This day will be remembered Yeah ... so let us live like the end of all days is here Cause hell means home And this is why We all still refuse to say “die” As our own funeral won’t be on time So here’s to us and to this day Cause time is up, but death’s delayed And when we’ll die we know but will not say Time is not our friend It’s always been against us Ticking and tocking away Trying to break us But let’s raise a glass And drink away the sorrow Let us live today Like there is no tomorrow We are not afraid of dying We are not afraid of dying If we go to hell, we go together Hand in hand we’ll keep marching forever If there’s no way back we’ll just keep going Feeding this monster so it keeps growing It will grow ... and swallow this world whole Hell is home for the restless Hell is home for the reckless Hell is home for the restless Hell is home so let us go home

Demons Never Sleep 04:42
lyrics
Life bows to no one but to the brave So to the game I remain a slave Searching for purpose and for ideals To live and to die for I keep my failures locked in the past I chase a dream so I cannot rest Forever restless I will go on Death I do fear no more With pleasure I take the blame Give this life up for the game Dancing with the devil For this life I choose All of this life’s treasures I’m prepared to loose I’d rather die trying The promise to keep Restless and relentless Demons never sleep For I am no coward, I am not week Far is the kingdom restless I seek I’ve been through the storm and so now I Ain’t afraid of dying All that you have is all you deserve For your own dreams you refused to serve That’s why you will be left with the shame For not even trying All you cowards do is talk But you never walk the walk If you’re following my footsteps Think about it well It ain’t heaven where we’re going It’s most likely hell If you’re not afraid of hardship If you’re made of stone And refuse to let life break you Then you’re not alone

The Poison 05:12
lyrics
You’re poisoned! The predators at the top of the food chain They try for centuries to poison your brain Here they are still trying to rip your eyes out To steal your free will and then eat your mind out A system so complex, of perfect construction The path it puts you on it leads to destruction It tries to poison you so then it can fool you And all those pigs in suits are able to rule you Break down the walls! Break down the system to it’s core Break down the walls! Slave to their kingdom be no more Break down the walls! Burn down their palaces and crowns Break down the walls! No rest until we bring them down Break down the walls! Vultures and sharks in control of the masses From where they pass all they leave back is ashes They fear the day when we will stand united That’s why they’re trying to keep us divided Their poison’s hate and it makes brother kill brother Their poison’s fear, to make us fear one another Their Poison’s ignorance that leads into blindness And when they’re done with you they will leave you lifeless Death to tyrants! All slaves to a system With it’s filth it feeds them Turns them into monsters They do walk amongst us Only one solution Global revolution Rise against the tyrant And destroy this giant

Live Life Hard 04:07
lyrics
Fuck all the things that try to bind you Leave all that shit behind you Follow the voice inside you Find you Fuck it, you know life’s now or never We will not live forever Let’s drink to this together Ever! Do or Die! Mother fucker! Open your eyes there is nowhere to hide Live life like the end of days is here Party hard, make sorrow disappear Time’s the only real enemy So let’s live, come don’t bitch out on me Live life like there is no tomorrow With booze and blow kill sorrow No time for feeling hollow Fuck no Parties with sex and drugs we’re throwing This monster keeps on growing A secret worth of knowing You’re in Live life hard! Motherfucker! The life we live is what will leave us scarred Live the life like there ain’t no tomorrow! Let’s do this! Will you live life or just stand there and stare I do not care I had the balls to face life on my own Fearless I’ve grown Fuck off and die! If you waste life living it like a lie Fuck off and die! Life is a bitch then you grow old and die Fuck off and die! Fuck off and die! Fuck off and die! Fuck off and die!

London's Calling 03:42
lyrics
1,2,3 let’s go ... What put me upon this journey That led me here where snakes and vultures try to rape my soul As this city feasts upon me And in return she promises that she will make me whole She offered me stars and diamonds And other goods my simple mind found too good to believe Drifting far North of the river I realized that this dark city I will never leave North of the river I begged for the truth I sold my soul to London and gave her my youth London’s calling – She wants to feast upon you London’s calling – She wants to feast upon you London’s calling – She wants to feast upon you London’s calling – She wants to feast upon your youth One more time let’s go ... Young and blinded by desire I followed the fox to a place from where was no return Fed my hunger with her fire She whispered that instead of fading out I’d rather burn Introduced to her sensation Out in her streets I felt feeling I’ve never felt before Hypnotized by her temptation Among her devils I found angels so I fear no more Blinded so well by her glittering lights So I can’t see the monster that she is inside Unlike other mortal kingdoms She still refuses to fall Time has not an impact on her Ageless London still stands tall From the moment that she chose me I reached out and took her hand She is home and she’s forever I am hers until the end

Restless 05:56
lyrics
There’s no sleep, there’s no rest There’s no way ‘round this test I live life day by day and I’m learning There’s no rest, there’s no sleep But there’s secrets to keep For the path I have chosen is burning Endless days the road gets longer Endless nights my will gets stronger No way back so I keep going It won’t die so it keeps growing No rest, no sleep, no way back from this curse No way for me to find peace of mind Searching and searching the search just goes on Even if there is nothing to find Restless days so unforgiving Restless nights no reason why Restless is the way I’m living Restless is the way I’ll die Restless days I do still wonder Restless nights can’t please my hunger I am driven by desire Through the storm and through the fire I won’t let go, until I know I keep going cause it’s worth of knowing I keep going cause I wonna know it all I cannot rest, I am driven by fire And the harder it gets to live with no regrets I stay focused on the path I’ve chosen I’m not drifting away, I just wait for the day But it seems to me like time has frozen

Empire 05:26
lyrics
I was born to burn this kingdom to the ground Born to witness kingdoms rise to fall Born to witness leaders rule, then crawl What comes up is destined to go down Distant echoes of a hollow crown I’ve watched this kingdom rise I’ll watch this kingdom fall I will not close by eyes Until I watch them crawl I’ve watched this kingdom rise So one day it can burn And we will celebrate Soon, when the tables turn Buried in dust and time We’ve waited for the sign Now that the stars align We cross the line To set our people From the captivity The social slavery The real enemy Babylon system’s an empire But it’s soon gonna end in fire Those who reigned in blood we will make bleed Watch them on each other as they feed For centuries they try My people to enslave So all I’m praying for’s To dance upon their graves What’s taken we’ll take back What’s ruined we’ll restore The empire we’ll break Down to it’s fucking core Burn them down! Forever Burn them down! Together Burn them down! With fire Burn them down! Empire burn
