MANMADE ICE AGE Draw your battle lines In the sands of time New generation robbed Pay an onus to the gods All our toxins spewed To see the world renewed As mother nature's violence Throws the scales back in balance Our climate change has been denied.. time after time Have we completely lost our minds? Powermad we rage Trapped within this final stage No time to turn the page A climate war... engage! Infinitely rage Wrapped within this final stage No time to turn the page We're frozen in the cage It's a Man Made Ice Age A man made Ice Age For the arrogance of men A superstorm will make amends The outcome always known In a glacier froze below The age of ice begins But who will wear our skins? The spiders now our kings Thanks to our meddling No room for contradiction, no need to heed predictions Our word is running out of time Out of our minds

SIGN OF THE SPIDER There's no tomorrow as they've taken all there is to take and You're forced to follow, fall into enticing wicked ways and There's no surrender no survivors you're just their pet demon It never ends a million years a slave to their dark scheming Buried beneath eight thousand eyes that stare with power through your soul From whence they came dark overlordes of hell you know they've got to go It's the sign Feels like the time Chained to the class you'll never last amidst the growing pressure Gauge your harassment can you take the toil to feed their leisure Just want a piece to taste the good life never making waves or Sad in the least this zombie sleeps led by the vicious knaves ya Buried beneath eight thousand eyes that stare with power through your soul From whence they came dark overlordes of hell you know they've got to go It's the Sign of the spider... can't you see them crawling through your world The sign! Sign of the spider... ignorance is feeding their dark hold Sign of the spider... across the web their influence will grow Sign of the spider... infecting everything it is you know We've one more chance it was a dream a warning from the future Only the seeds of their dark schemes are simmering we can lose them But you must see the stinger fall before it's venom strikes you Open your mind and see the signs our society invites you Join with the eyes that stare with secret power coming from our souls To whence they came dark overlordes of hell you know they've got to go It's the Sign of the spider... can't you see them crawling through your world The sign! Sign of the spider... ignorance is feeding their dark hold The Sign of the spider... across the web their influence will grow Sign of the spider... infecting every thing it is you know

RAVAGE IN PEACE Black rain's falling down upon your shores The tide is glowing better batten your doors There's something trawling up out from the mist Nuclear reckoning the catalyst You can't resist If you Ravage the earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage the Earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage... you'll Ravage In Peace A ship of death is rising from the tide Exposed reactor there's no place to hide Ancient submariner with deadly tale Back from the grave to show us how we've failed Oh how we've failed If you Ravage the earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage the Earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage the Earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage the Earth then you'll RAVAGE ... you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE! You'll RAVAGE IN PEACE!!! If you Ravage the earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage the Earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage the Earth then you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE If you Ravage the Earth then you'll RAVAGE ... you'll RAVAGE IN PEACE!

WITHOUT A TRACE Who are we to pass forth judgement... on a world we hardly know? Coronate ourselves the masters... of the things we can't control Human feeling lost in the distance... of a long forgotten crime Behold the truth, the pain, the madness... in the things we hoped to find Now it seems we're all turning gray As our lives slowly melt away... without a trace A legacy left in the dust here... skeletons sink in the tar The genius minds who squandered Eden... never asking just how far? Now it seems we're all turning gray As our lives slowly melt and drift and fade away... Without a trace Now it seems we're all turning grey As our lives slowly melt and drift and fade away... Without a trace Can we evolve from lying? Yes we were born for dying Without a trace... without a trace... Can we evolve to something better? Humanity this cannot be Our corporate lust in piles of dust In haste to reach our destiny We bury our civility We'll leave behind The auto mind This A.I. line will lead the blind To stop the fall We'll build a wall But in the end we all shall crawl Without a trace... without a trace... Who are we to pass forth judgement On a world we hardly know?

AMAZON BURNING See smoke clouds in the air... once pristine land laid bare A billion species lost... at an inestimable cost And blind to see what the future may bring The Amazon is burning The lungs of the world turn black As the machines keep churning Soon there's no turning back No turning back... No turning back! Guitar Leads: Nick/Eli Cure for the plague of our insanity Lost in the flames of our prosperity Reduce the land for profit If there's no way to stop it An untold cost to pay, you'll see The Amazon is burning The lungs of the world turn black As the machines keep churning Soon there's no turning back The Amazon is burning The lungs of the world turn black As the machines keep churning Soon there's no turning back

CORRUPTION OF BLOOD The rule of the nation, one last stipulation To feed the conflagration With burning wills Free yourselves from their corruption of blood Free yourselves from their corruption Corruption of blood The law that we endured, a cause strictly abhorred With all the hate we endured Cast to the fire Free yourselves from their corruption of blood Free yourselves from their corruption Corruption of blood Free yourselves from their corruption of blood Free yourselves from their corruption Corruption of blood Beyond what we hold dear, locked in the caverns of fear Our declaration sincere To burn it down Free yourselves from their corruption of blood Free yourselves from their corruption Corruption of blood Free yourselves from their corruption of blood Free yourselves from their corruption Corruption of blood

SPIDER ON THE WORLD What's to be said about evil's hold on the world? Is it even evil that's brought these dark clouds? Or is it fate that we sink in this mess we've made? Tell me is it justice that brings down this shroud... Are we the only ones with open eyes? Are we the only ones who see this beast? Funneling poison down into our minds... And taking the greatest power from the least...for it's feast Who is this spider on the world? Pushing stingers in our skulls Who is this spider on our world Pushing poison from above And breaking the world down? Down... Breaking it down! Down... When the truth's preferred thought And the innocent line as sheep See the fertile minds decay As the spider begins to feed Then all reason's turned to mush As our words are charred to dust Then we turn away from the telescopes To see the stingers headed toward us Are we the only ones with open eyes? Are we the only ones who see this beast? Funneling poison down into our minds... And taking the greatest power from the least...for it's feast Who is this spider on the world? Pushing stingers in our skulls Who is this spider on our world Pushing it's poison from above And breaking the world down? Down... down... down... down... Down... down... Down... down Down... down

FROM THE MOUTH OF PAIN A devious devil roaring out of the skies ... The panic of a nation lost amidst a sea of lies What to believe when we're stumbling in the dark... An hour of destruction would forever leave its mark The ones we'll never see Their future's ne're to be We'll carry faith beyond No matter how long From the mouth of pain, you'll hear no more Just clenched jaws of the dogs of the wars Though in their eyes the hurt remains Not one more word from the mouth of pain Not from the mouth of pain! Consuming fire engulfing many dreams... They died for ones they loved and they died for their beliefs What is this madness that makes our hands to war? What cost this vengeance that we've been searching for? The things we'll never find The honor in our dreams As time turns loss to legend But we'll never forget just what it means The mouth of pain, you'll hear no more Just clenched jaws of the dogs of the wars Though in their eyes the hurt remains Not one more word from the mouth of pain The mouth of pain The mouth of pain The mouth of pain From the mouth of pain, you'll hear no more Just clenched jaws of the dogs of the wars Though in their eyes the hurt remains Not one more word From the mouth of pain

FACE OF INFAMY All the masks of those who play....fall in front of us, as we whistle on our way All the tombs of lives engraved...topple down for them...as they waste another day And we struggle to hide our eyes When faced with our own infamy We can never give in But we can't disguise This face of infamy So face it All the poor who dwell in holes don their smiles for us As we sell their lives away...all the rich with sheltered souls write their wills for us as we insincerely prey And we struggle to hide our eyes When faced with our own infamy We can never give in But we can't disguise This face of infamy So face it So we're sick of playing gods so bid "good buy" But our mountain's much too steep Throw the tables and let go - the law was always ours But perhaps engraved too deep And we struggle to hide our eyes When faced with our own infamy We can never give in But we can't disguise This face of infamy So face it We struggle to hide our eyes When faced with our own infamy We can never give in But we can't disguise This face of infamy So face it
