Organization XIII 04:37
lyrics
I need to know what has happened to this place? The terror rages deep inside I have to hold my breath. I feel my heart pounding in my chest Beating faster, breaking out So here we lie on the ocean floor wondering if I can take this anymore I have to try and save everything that I love this will destroy me And there's another world plunged into darkness Simply known as the land of the heartless where there is no sorrow no regret I feel my heart pounding in my chest beating faster, breaking out So here we lie on the ocean floor wondering if I can take this anymore I have to try and save everything that I love this will destroy me I need to know what has happened to this place? The terror rages deep inside I have to hold my breath. I feel my heart pounding in my chest Beating faster, breaking out I will always be better than you

Forever 04:10
lyrics
So this is how it ends between you and I a promise That it's not forever (Helping you was my endeavor) and so this is how it starts the memory won't fade and I will try understand the thoughts that are in your head and I will wait as long as it takes to see your face, to see your smile It's not forever we will be back again these bonds won't sever the fires burning bright so take my hand if only for a moment, just hold on tight and never let go again This will destroy me the pain that I feel inside Like a bullet to the head this is all so unreal How did it come to this? How did it come to this?! How did it come to this? I want to go from this place, with a bullet from a gun or a knife to the back I'm a wounded creature ready to attack It's not forever we will be back again these bonds won't sever the fires burning bright so take my hand if only for a moment, just hold on tight and never let go again

Dead Inside 03:14
lyrics
We are the last of a dying breed Trapped and lost in this web of lies we are the last of a fallen race When the dead come back to life So put a bullet in my brain It's driving me insane This is the end of days and this is our demise You'll never take us out alive We are going to survive This is not the way it's meant to be So come and run away with me So take your best shot is that all you have got? I'll do what I can to keep us alive This is no democracy, you chose to follow me and until the end this is our demise You'll never take us out alive We are going to survive This is not the way it's meant to be So come and run away with me And we have saw so much pain for very little gain how am I expected to make it out and I have lost so much, I've even lost your touch How am I expected to make it out So just come back to me Help kill the enemy This is the end of days and this is our demise So just come back to me Help kill the enemy This is the end of days and this is our demise And I have saw so much pain for very little gain how am I expected to make it out and I have lost so much, I've even lost your touch How am I expected to make it out So just come back to me Help kill the enemy This is the end of days and this is our demise So just come back to me Help kill the enemy This is the end of days and this is our demise

Take A Bow (For The Final Curtain) 03:55
lyrics
So take a page out of my book shut your mouth and face the consequences You need to earn your place in this world you can't talk shit it's not that easy Let your actions speak louder than the words that you spit right in my face But until then I am better than you so shut your mouth face the consequences I, will never look back now I, can't see what you see We, will never back down all I know is haters make me famous Let it collapse over you like a wave on a ship and maybe then you'll read the words on my lips All my words come from my heart and all of your words are a pathetic farce and we will leave you in our wake, it's just that simple You can't talk shit it's not that easy so shut your mouth face the consequences I, will never look back now I, can't see what you see We, will never back down all I know is haters make me famous

Monuments 03:27
lyrics
And everything that we've done and one for all and all for one all of this is a monument we have built and all the blood and all the tears exposing all of my fears just to make sure that you can't bring us down and we have fought so hard to bring this song to you and we will never back down that's something we can't do We don't follow a scene We don't follow a crowd We follow our hearts and for that I am proud All of this is a monument And everything that we've done and one for all and all for one all of this is a monument we have built and all the blood and all the tears exposing all of my fears just to make sure that you can't bring us down and we have fought so hard to bring this song to you and we will never back down that's something we can't do

Empire 03:32
lyrics
Even the depths of hell can't hold the black of your heart Can't mend the pain you've caused Can't mend what you have done Even the depths of hell can't hold the black of your heart Can't mend the pain you've caused Can't mend what you have done And within all of the lies and the sound of their cries You've built your throne on our demise And within all of the lies and the sound of their cries You've built your throne on our demise And all that we have done to overthrow you To take back what is ours You cannot stop us, it's just the beginning This is the time, the time for war You bring your battlecries, we'll bring an army This is a battle for death or glory x4 Even the depths of hell can't hold the black of your heart Can't mend the pain you've caused Can't mend what you have done Even the depths of hell can't hold the black of your heart Can't mend the pain you've caused Can't mend what you have done And within all of the lies and the sound of their cries You've built your throne on our demise And within all of the lies and the sound of their cries You've built your throne on our demise This is our Empire, This is our Empire, This is our Empire, Death or Glory.
