MEMORIAM LYRICS

1. Onwards into Battle

Onwards into battle one more time

The strategy has been planned
Passed down from the high command
Calm befalls the frontline
Prepared to fight ready to die

At the point of no return
The tension mounts as thoughts converge
At the zero hour the order comes
On the silence of the big guns

Across the wire
Through the crossfire
Keep pushing on
All senses gone
Into the breach
Brutality unleashed
Fighting for your life
Fist, boot and trench knife

Onwards
Onwards into battle one more time
Onwards
Onwards into battle one more time

The triumph of this victory
Vanquished are the enemy
Moving onwards another war
Into battle to fight once more

2. This War Is Won

Passed down the years the legend told
Tales of glory new and old
Stories of valor from the past
Triumphant legacy that lasts

In honour of all that has been achieved
Against all the odds proud to succeed
Victorious when all said and done
This war is won

History now resonates
Senescence configurates
Memories of the past now gone
Time forever moving on
You'll never understand
None of this was ever planned
We've seen things you'll never see
Created our destiny
Future within your hands
Strive to be the best you can
Whilst conscience still remains
Keep on until the end

3. No Effect

What you give is what you get
No remorse no regret
Those that take offence
They have no influence

Pay no attention to what haters say
Their words are empty actions convey
With assurance ever on display
Spirit and courage will guide the way

What you reap is what you sow
People come and people go
The journey may be long
This aspiration strong

They try to rule you, they try to fool you, with no effect
They decry you, criticise you, with no effect
They try to use you, try to abuse you, with no effect
They deny you, they despise you, with no effect

You call me your enemy
I'll thrive on this enmity
Condemn me and you shall see
Above negativity
My conscience will remain
You cannot cause me pain
As darkness now unfolds
In the shadows of my soul

What you give is what you get
No remorse no regret
Those that take offence
They have no influence

Pay no attention to what haters say
Their words are empty actions convey
With assurance ever on display
Spirit and courage will guide the way

4. Failure to Comply

Resist refuse protest
When justice is repressed
Provoked enraged oppressed
This anger must be heard

Failure to comply

Protest, refuse, resist
All Prejudice dismissed
We shall not desist
To create a better world

Failure to comply

Violence proliferates
As the cities burn
Lessons from the past
When will we ever learn
We question
We question why?
How many more
How many more must die?

Violence proliferates
As the cities burn
Lessons from the past

How many more must die?
Die

5. Each Step (One Closer to the Grave)

Death draws near day by day
Each step one closer to the grave
Live every moment like it's your last
Moving forward but don't forget the past

Each step one closer to the grave
Each step one closer to the grave

Time moves fast through the decades
Like celestial spheres that never fade
Destiny is written within the stars
Believe in yourself remember who you are

Hold your head up high in defiance
Heed the words and follow the guidance
Life is short but love is timeless
In the end there is only silence

6. To the End

This battle done
Defences overrun
Weaponry now spent
Ammunition gone
Dissipating battle smoke
Carnage now exposed
Stench of death fills the air
Bodies decompose
Amongst the wreckage
None left alive
The last man standing
The only to survive

But where our desires are and our hopes profound
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight
To the innermost heart of their own land
They are known as the stars are known
To the night

To the end

Dissipating battle smoke
Carnage now exposed
Stench of death fills the air
Bodies decompose
Amongst the wreckage
None left alive
The last man standing
The only to survive

All is lost
Nothing now exists
Devastated landscape
Stare into the abyss
No sign of life
Complete destruction
The grim reality
Total annihilation

As the stars shall be bright when we are dust
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain
As stars that are starry in the time of our darkness
To the end, to the end, they remain

To the end
They remain

7. Vacant Stare

Enduring images that cannot be unseen
Inhumanity reality obscene
Beyond Repugnance
Beyond the dread
Visions of horror
In the mind now spread

With a vacant stare

In the void thoughts subliminal
Unoccupied situation critical
Nothing inside emotion minimal
Conscience deprived state conditional
Driven by fear hatred cynical
Feelings surreal unpredictable
Empty within parasitical
Darkness within non-equivocal

Repeating nightmares
Recollection from the past
Bitter reminders
That will always last
Never-ending
Ceaseless pain
Constant memories
Driving you insane

With a vacant stare

Recollecting memories nightmares within
Unconnected detached from everything
My mind now empty nothing left to give
Questioning existence
I have no will to live

Repeating nightmares
Recollection from the past
Bitter reminders
That will always last
Never-ending
Ceaseless pain
Constant memories
Driving you insane

With a vacant stare
Vacant stare
With a vacant stare
Vacant

With no feelings
My body aches
This emptiness
Not much more I can take
This constant weight
Forever pushing down
Inside I scream
Yet no one hears a sound

No one hears a sound

Vacant

8. Mass Psychosis

Feel the pressure pushing down
Tension building all around
Body shaking nerves exposed
Delirium uncontrolled

All sense of sanity now cast away
Insecurities normality decays
Hysteria in magnitude in disarray
Paranoia fills the soul lunacy now reigns

Lunacy now reigns
Mass Psychosis
Lunacy now reigns
Mass Psychosis

Emotional retraction lost inside the void
Disconnected from everything mentally destroyed

No fight left an empty shell
Dead inside a living hell
Beyond fear beyond all hope
One step away this killing...

Mass psychosis

9. As My Heart Grows Cold

Bear witness tragedy the burden of the years
Accepting consequence, no bitterness no tears
As my heart grows cold

This is our history a story that is shared
Of a life that is complete that to none compares
Though in the darkest hours the nightmares still return
Distant reminders that the scars inside still burn

And so, it goes
The tale of shipwrecked souls
Smashed into the rocks
Cast away forever

As my heart grows cold

Coalescing memories of joy and sorrows held
All forgiveness and redemption now expelled
This solemn countenance hold more than meets the eye
It would take a better man, a better man than I

And so, it goes
The tale of shipwrecked souls
Smashed into the rocks
Cast away forever

As my heart grows cold

Bear witness tragedy the burden of the years
Accepting consequence, no bitterness no tears
As my heart grows cold

It would take a better man, a better man than I
With no forgiveness
This solemn countenance hold more than meets the eye
With no forgiveness
It would take a better man, a better man than I
