THE LIVING ENVY THE DEAD (lyrics)
We saw the signs but we ignored them all – before our fall
Darkness descended on this land – the lights just flickered off
The air turned black as night – the smoke from cities - born by fire
We toast the dead for the giving
With prayers of thanks for their flesh
And make the most of receiving
Arms of honor for their death
We crave to go to heaven
But this hunger must be fed
We pity all that’s surviving
The living envy the dead ...
The living envy the dead -- The living envy the dead
We crawl out from under the rubble – we fight like animals
We are not shadows – we’re the living – and we are adaptable
And peace one day will come upon us - But it won’t come without a fight!
We toast the dead for the giving
With prayers of thanks for their flesh
And make the most of receiving
Arms of honor for their death
We’re trying to go to heaven
But this craving must be fed
We pity all that’s surviving
The living envy the dead ...
The living envy the dead -- The living envy the dead!
[guitar solo]
We wonder who will be sent to the next world - as we hoard our rations
We yearn for morals to grasp - with open hands – as we avoid disasters
A world of killers scour this land – prepared to devour anyone in their path
We toast the dead for the giving
With prayers of thanks for their flesh
And make the most of receiving
Arms of honor for their death
We’re trying to go to heaven
But this craving must be fed
We pity all that’s surviving
The living envy the dead … [ending drums a little jerky – the better one is on the first chorus, but not sure if that is the same rhythm pattern]
The living envy the dead -- The living envy the dead!

INVISIBLE (lyrics)
The land is scorched - There’s just one water source
It’s ruled by giants – They have the size and force
The sun is ablaze - This waterhole is wilting
Tempers flare - Everything is melting
It’s such a hostile world – a hostile world - For a tiny girl
I find a way to drink – a way to drink – by being INVISIBLE
It’s such a hostile world – a hostile world - For a tiny girl
I find a way to drink – a way to drink – by being INVISI - being INVISIBLE
I live another day!
I live another day! Volume and tempo check
I watch for mistakes -- and weaknesses
And learn to steal from their leftovers
At any point – a fight can break their defenses
And I wait patiently cause they ALL die in the end
It’s such a hostile world – a hostile world - For a tiny girl
I find a way to feed – a way to feed – by being INVISIBLE
It’s such a hostile world – a hostile world - For a tiny girl
I find a way to feed – a way to feed – by being INVISI- being INVISIBLE
I live another day!
I live another day!
[instrumental interlude]
[guitar solo]
[vocal -- ahhhhhhhhhhs (x8)]
The rule of the kingdom is reserved for the strong
It takes brute strength and an iron will
I stay – remain – by being invisible [snare hit missing or sounds different]
I’m staying in the game by being deadly still
It’s such a hostile world – a hostile world - For a tiny girl
I find a way to breathe – a way to breathe – by being invisible
It’s such a hostile world – a hostile world - For a tiny girl
I find a way to breathe – a way to breathe – by being INVISI- being INVISIBLE
I live another day!
I live another day!
I live another day!
I live another day!

PREPARE FOR BATTLE (lyrics)
We secure our place in this Kingdom of Killers ...
To protect (intonation/volume) the babes (intonation/volume) that will soon become soldiers ...
Building an army of battlefield Terror - This Empire held by fearlessness unmeasured - [yeah yeah yeah!]
Provide - Apply - Whatever it takes
Fight to - the death – for the life of the babes
Run as - one pack – leaving no one behind
Defend – attack - for the heart of the tribe
It’s time to run the gauntlet
And move these battles lines
It’s time to crush the monsters
the enemies must die!
(CH.) Raise your Weapons High (Prepare for battle)
Fighting side by side (Prepare for battle)
Shout your battle cry (Prepare for battle)
Fighting for our lives (Prepare for battle) [good]
Prepare to FIGHT!
We spill the blood of the enemies to strengthen our future ...
It fuels our hopes for humanity to reign secure ...
We must take charge – Test our resolve - Taking control - growing STRONGER through chaos!
We kill – Fulfill – Whatever it takes
Instill – the dread - till the enemy breaks
We drive – them down – till there’s nothing to prove
Exiled to Hell – till they have been removed
Calculate - every movement
So Courageous by Design
Execute with no abashment
The enemies must die
Raise your Weapons High (Prepare for battle)
Fighting side by side (Prepare for battle)
Shout your battle cry (Prepare for battle)
Fighting for our lives (Prepare for battle) [good]
Prepare to FIGHT!
[guitar solo]
Raise your Weapons High (Prepare for battle)
Fighting side by side (Prepare for battle)
Shout your battle cry (Prepare for battle)
Fighting for our lives (Prepare for battle) [ timing/deliver, the one above is better – before solo]
Raise your Weapons High (Prepare for battle)
Fighting side by side (Prepare for battle)
Shout your battle cry (Prepare for battle)
Fighting for our lives (Prepare for battle)
Prepare to FIGHT!

KILL FEED SLEEP REPEAT (lyrics)
ahhhh -- ahhhh -- ahhhh – ahhhh
Enemies gather on all sides strong – with stealth and braun
But it’s BRAINS that wins – just don’t get caught - your reward is the feast of another’s loss
This darkened land is governed by terror
With mouths to feed - there’s no room for error
[CH.] Stay powered in resilience / Keep your eyes on the goal
Pray you’ll have daily ambitions / And maintain your control
It’s a lawless jungle - It’s a fight to the end
For a tiny morsel - To be fueled once again
Unlock the gates of patience – this battle of your mind
Tormented by frustrations - This daily grind of life
KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT! ... KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT!
ahhhh -- ahhhh -- ahhhh -- ahhhh
Some rule the day in the heat of the sun – some rule the dark
But it’s HEART that wins - Don’t ever grow cold that you can't light a spark
Our rivalries take watch from all borders
Life’s hierarchy - keeps every thing in order
[CH.] Stay powered in resilience / Keep your eyes on the goal
Pray you’ll have daily convictions / Maintain the heart of your soul
It’s a brutal wasteland - It’s a fight to the death
Just to keep on living - To hold onto this mortal breath
Unlock the chains of brilliance - go sleek into the night
The mind builds through experience - This daily grind of life
KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT! ... KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT!
KILL ... [Guitar SOLO]
[CH.] Stay powered in resilience / Keep your eyes on the goal
Pray you’ll keep your commitments / Maintain the life of your soul
Every move a calculated risk - Every risk a calculated move
Can give a moment of relief – for the ones that rely on you to prove
And the muscles you must use – to keep you alive
Compelled here to compete - in this daily grind of life
KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT! ... KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT!
KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT! ... KILL - FEED - SLEEP - REPEAT!
KILL!!

I AM HERE ALIVE (lyrics)
Where is my Heaven on Earth? Where are my amber waves of grain?
Where is the beautiful … the land that I love … America?
Where are my spacious skies? Where are my shining seas?
The land of liberty has crumbled to her knees
This world awakes an evil seed …
Bloated-filled insanity
How did we get here? What were we thinking?
How did we get here ... existing ... thriving among the Dead?
I am here A-LIVE!
I am here A-LIVE!
I am here A-LIVE! - I am here to survive.
{guitar interlude}
All that’s left of me ... are these lost memories - The stench of broken hearts laying at my feet
My vision’s taking in … this land of wasted dreams - Chaos and ruins from a whirlwind of sins
Lawless, darkness, hatred breeds
Breaking down humanity
How did we here? What were we seeking?
How did we get here … As strangers walking a desolate Land?
I am here A-LIVE!
I am here A-LIVE!
I am here A-LIVE! - I am here to survive.
[guitar solo]
In the burning sun ... Every step I take
Stinging to my bones ... Raging through the flames
I am here A-LIVE!
I am here A-LIVE!
I am here A-LIVE! I am here to survive.
Where is my Heaven on Earth? Where are my amber waves of grain?
Where is the beautiful … the land that I love … America?

BURN THE FEAR (lyrics)
[AH - AH]
You say that you’re entitled – To everything that’s exceptional
You claim that you’re excited – To give me your leftovers
You’re scared to Fight for us – So you lay down – covering your face
But I won’t stand for it – I’m sick and tired of this game you play
You’re SCARED and SPINELESS || Your Fear’s a Virus
BURN – Burn the Fear that leaves you cold as ice – as you compromise
BURN – Burn the Fear that keeps you standing still – and rots your mind
BURN!
You say that you can’t lose me – you’ve Already lost yourself
You claim that you will choose me – But your actions choose someone else
You’re scared to fight for this – So you lay down – and you don’t resist
But I can’t stand for it – I’m sick and tired – of how I’m dismissed
You’re WEAK and WOUNDED || YOUR Fear’s POLLUTED
BURN – Burn the Fear that’s clutching up your heart – and wrecks your mind
BURN – Burn the Fear that keeps you standing still – And Wastes your time
BURN – Burn the Fear that leaves you cold as ice – as you compromise (maybe replace?)
BURN!
[Guitar Solo]
You use to be my everything – I fought for you – Got SCARS for you
And Now you are scared to fight for anything that might be hard on you
You build me up - You crash me down – you say don’t leave me here alone
How can I trust you when think that you’re the only one?
Your Fear keeps You FROZEN – - keeps you FROZEN
AND It burns me up inside
Your Fear keeps you LYING – - Still you’re LYING
And IT turns my blood to Ice
You’re RUDE and RUTHLESS || YOUR FEAR IS USELESS
BURN – Burn the Fear that's locking up your heart – and destroys your mind
BURN – Burn the Fear that keeps you standing still – as you waste my time
BURN – Burn the Fear that’s ripping us apart – as you run and hide
BURN – Burn the Fear that Keeps you Frozen – And it BURNS me up inside –
BURN The FEAR
BURN The FEAR
BURN The FEAR
BURN The FEAR!

ARISE (lyrics)
I beheld receptacles of light ... Fearless wings of blazing flight
Thunder and Lightning from all extremities
My eyes beheld their celestial countenance ...
The whirling of their heavenly wheels entrance
Four winds bearing up the Earth ... all around me
They’ve arrived to assist ... with all their might
They bring the light from deep within
They are the Strangers in this land ...
We are the warriors left to welcome them
Coming from unknown destinations ...
to help us with this final stand.
ARISE .... With wings of spirits from the SKIES
Armies of Chariots that FLY
Secrets of ancient splendor flash before our EYES
Arise, Arise
I beheld great fear and trembling ... Seizing up the weak and wicked
As the tops of mountains cover us in darkness
I beheld as stars came forth ... like warrior angels in the night
The valleys fill with fountains of the righteous ones
Terrestrial plans we’ve made ... from ancient days
So long ago from worlds without end
They are the Strangers in this land ...
We are the warriors left to welcome them
Coming from unknown destinations ...
to help us with this final stand
ARISE .... With wings of spirits from the SKIES
Armies of Chariots that FLY
Secrets of ancient splendor flash before our EYES
ARISE, ARISE!
[instrumental interlude]
[solo]
They led us to bodies of water ... for a space of timeless days
We arose from the waters of life with new illustrious flesh and grace
They are the Strangers in this land ...
We are the warriors left to welcome them
Coming from unknown destinations ...
to help us with this final stand
ARISE .... With wings of spirits from the SKIES
Armies of Chariots that FLY
Secrets of ancient splendor flash before our EYES – ARISE ARISE
.... With wings of spirits from the SKIES
Armies of Chariots that FLY
Secrets of ancient splendor flash before our EYES – ARISE ARISE
ARISE ARISE --
ARISE ARISE --
ARISE ARISE!

POWERTRIBE (lyrics)
Hatred, Rage, and Dissonance | In this world of violence
Spineless, Fearful Humans RULED | Fed us on this Wasted Cesspool
NOW The World is on Fire / AND The Smoke Blocks the sky
As We’re dusted in Ashes / Blood Spills through the Night
Left Right Left Right - Running to the mountain tops
Left Right Left Right – Scattered in the broken rocks
Left Right Left Right – We’re the ones that can’t be caught
Left Right Left Right – We are the wanderers that – take
Cover in the night as we soldier …
Fighting for our lives we did our best to stay alive
We are the orphans – we are the guardians
We are together – we form the PowerTribe
Silence scrambles to devour | A land so desolate – burned by fire
Blood-stained walls and streets of red | crushed emotions - nerves of dread
The World has changed / And all is strange
And we that remain / Are here another day – are here another day
Left Right Left Right - scrambling to the highest peaks
Left Right Left Right – Mouths are shut - our weapons speak
Left Right Left Right – We’re the ones that won’t be beat
Left Right Left Right – We are the wanderers that – take
Cover in the night as we soldier …
Fighting for our lives we did our best to stay alive
We are the ophans – we are the guardians
We are together – we form the PowerTribe
[solo]
It was a firestorm of chaos – like an avalanche of war machines
Caught a whirlwind of fearfulness – We found each other gaining strength in unity
Left Right Left Right - Running to the mountain tops
Left Right Left Right – Scattered in the broken rocks
Left Right Left Right – We’re the ones that can’t be caught
Left Right Left Right – We are the wanderers that – take
Cover in the night as we soldier …
Fighting for our lives we did our best to stay alive
We are the orphans – we are the guardians
We are together – we form the PowerTribe
Scrambling to the highest peaks - mouths are shut our weapons speak
We're the ones that won't be beat – we are the wanderers
fighting for our lives we did our best to stay alive
We are together – we form the PowerTribe
form the PowerTribe
We form the PowerTribe
We form the PowerTribe!

Female fronted awesome vocal on speedy formula, not your usual and sometimes boring sympho-metal... no no no, this is really something else, and worth listening to. Traditional HM with a hint of speedy/thrashy pace and drumming which makes you shake your head (or booty, or both). The "rogue" vocals makes this especially outstanding!!
