SIX MINUTE CENTURY LYRICS

1. 1900

[Intro/Instrumental]

2. City Of Hope

Rising tides, there's an approaching storm
The waves crash harder against the docks
Family and friends you much brace for the worst
From the dark clouds that loom on the horizon

The winds scream a horrendous song
As nature's fury moves onshore

Water begins to consume everything
The walls are ripped away

Ravaged by one of history's deadliest storms
We must preserve the memory of those who were lost

Being alive doesn't mean they survived
Affecting rich, old, poor and young

1900
No way to have known
A city of hope

1900
No way to have been warned
A city left in ruins

Shattered dream litter battered streets
But Galveston will forever endure...Galveston

1900
No way to have known
A city of hope

1900
No way to have been warned
A city left in ruins

3. Just Remains

Hey, Mr. Undertaker
Please don't take away my friend
Life's bloods had been drained
There's so much left unexplained
Oh Lord! Please resurrect him

If you could halt time's advance
What's the first thing you'd change?
Whatever's left is just remains
Beacons that flicker then fade

Is there no resolution?
Vultures perched ready to feast
Chalk lines left to erase
Toe tags for the deceased

If you could halt time's advance
What's the first thing you'd change?

Whatever's left is just remains
Beacons that flicker then fade

Whatever's left is just remains
Vessels led astray

You can't halt time's advance
You see, we're victims of circumstance

Whatever's left is just remains
Beacons that flicker then fade
Whatever's left is just remains
Vessels led astray

4. The Killing Fields

Down a dark and winding road
Near a place I often go
Behind a rusty chainlink fence

Overgrown the lot is bare
Now only a place of mystery
Young lives brought to an end

Soon you'll understand the pain
Of those who still remain
And for all those tears they've cried
We'll avenge their lives

In this place not far from home
The killing fields, they grow

A monster on the prowl
He's killed since then there's no doubt
How many still go unnamed

Is there anyone who cares?
Is there anyone to shed a tear?
And for all those tears they've cried
We'll avenge their lives

In this place not far from home
The killing fields, they grow
Repulsed by your actions, the wicked shall fall
The killing fields will cease to grow

Provoking anger I lash out at what you believe in

Admit that he is real...and that he's still out there
Maybe you have seen his face
Brushing shoulders in passing
Did you catch his stare exchanging glances?
Did his laughter, did it make you cringe?

In this place not far from home
The killing fields, they grow
In this place not far from home
The killing fields, they grow
Repulsed by your actions, the wicked shall fall
The killing fields will cease to grow
They'll grow no more

5. Baptized In Flames

No need to cry
Soon it will all be over
Yes, he'll greet us
Before the last embers smolder
Rendezvous at the river
By the shore
Never to cry anymore

Congregation raise your voices
As foretold the prophecy
Together we will make a stand
Let our blood be on their hands

Thieves are knocking at the door
Here to steal eternal life from us

Baptized in flames
Born again

They came here to judge us
We will only be sentenced by God
By the eyes of the beholder
Who's keeping watch over all

Healed by unholy water
A rapture of fire

Baptized in flames
Born again
Baptized in flames
Kneel before the King of Kings

Outside Waco
Raged hell's inferno
Forgive them, they know not what they've done
What have they done?
Burnt Bibles in hands clinching
Smoking ash for pages

To err is human, to forgive divine

Rendered asunder by a fiery blunder

Baptized in flames
Born again
Baptized in flames
Kneel before the King of Kings

6. Paying Death's Toll

Soulless fowls led to water
Drowning in a churning sea
Dragged deeper
Tearing at them from beneath
Only one solution

Through the flames we abide
Weary we march on

A misfortune, only frustration
Leading you to only eternal damnation
Is there no solution?

Through the flames we abide
Weary we march on
With no fear in our eyes
We're paying death's toll

Banters of a tomorrow
Of grandeur things
Of a world without sorrow
What a world indeed

Let faith guide us
Carry us on broken wings
Relieving life's pressures

Through the flames we abide
Weary we march on
With no fear in our eyes
We're paying death's toll

7. Czardas

[Instrumental]

8. Last Days In Paradise

Here at the peoples temple all are welcomed
Please call me Father
For I am sent to heal you and to mend you
I'll lead you from temptation

Soon we'll be taking a journey
Into the land of milk and honey
Together we'll build a kingdom
And flee those who oppose us

And there we'll live out our...
Last days in paradise
I'll never deceive you, no I would never lie
Last days in paradise
We'll live forever amen

Now that we're together her in Guyana
I will always protect you, Keep you from evil

And there we'll live out our...
Last days in paradise
I'll never deceive you, no I would never lie
Last days in paradise
We'll live forever amen

9. Needham Point

He awakes to their constant screams
Enraged by the agony in their pleas

With a sinister smile
He readies himself for a nasty surprise
Searching for the latest headlines

Welcome to Needham Point

Bathed in neon light
He emerges from the shadows
So easily enticed

Countless faces
Bloodstained traces
The dealer of death's hand

On his way to Needham Point
A puppet pulled by strings that are broke

Once again we find ourselves drawn here
Like a moth to the flame
A reoccurring dream, one from which we'll never wake

Just a stone's thrown away
Busy street passerby, his domain

On his way to Needham Point
A puppet pulled by strings that are broke

A devil in a jester's court
We're all welcome at Needham Point

10. That Defining Moment

Left to wander through dark valleys
No direction leads to the way out

Praying to elude wolves who keep howling
Through snarled teeth they grin a venomous smile

Are you afraid and all alone?
Time doesn't always heal
Some wounds are left unclean
Look for that defining moment to change

If the ground beneath begins to crumble
Just remember even the righteous stumble

The trick is not to be mesmerized
Fooled or deceived by the glamorized

Are you afraid and all alone?
Time doesn't always heal
Some wounds are left unclean
Look for that defining moment to change

Fragile shards of belief
Dangling from a dream
Look for that defining moment to change

Are you afraid and all alone?
Time doesn't always heal
Some wounds are left unclean
Look for that defining moment to change

Fragile shards of belief
Dangling from a dream
Look for that defining moment to change

11. Hell's Gate

A poor farmer's boy just becoming a man
Awkward, a rogue teetering on the edge
A beauty as sweet as she could be
Waitressing just to make ends meet
Who knew what their chance meeting would bring?

Incognito, alliances formed
A golden flash, a muzzle flare, hell's gate opens

A legend spoken of since I was a child
Of two young lovers destined by the gun
How they robbed and murdered
Wanted dead or alive
When the smoke cleared
They land side by side

Death for Bonnie and Clyde

Blood hounds at their feet
Lawmen pursued them to hell's gate

A bullet ridden fate
Beelzebub waits, swinging from hell's gate

Fast cars, the thrill of the chase
Wide open guns blazing
Screaming through hell's gate

12. Wasting Time

Blindly searching for walls without hands
The end of ages, it knows no pardon
Conceding to all of life's torments
Seeking shelter in ruin

Trapped, forever a grain of sand
Caught in between hope and despair
Rounding each corner, never turning away
With no assurance, only a reckoning

Burning inside
Will fate and destiny collide?
Wasting time, it feels like chance is passing me by
Wasting time, no regrets, what's done is done, survive

Deja vu chapter two is incomplete
Getting closer, even I believe
On the brink this old fool, now he sees
That this is where I'm supposed to be

The suffering it never ends, it only sleeps
Poised to escape like a crazed beast
Wreaking havoc and misery
Time to make a move before it's too late

Burning inside
Will fate and destiny collide?
Wasting time, it feels like chance is passing me by
Wasting time, no regrets, what's done is done, survive

Burning inside
Will fate and destiny collide?
Wasting time, it feels like chance is passing me by
Wasting time, no regrets, what's done is done, survive
