The House on the Hill 04:11
lyrics
A house stands, upon the hill, dark and overgrown. Dead leaves, pealed paint, all the glory gone. The dark secret, forgotten, from the stories told. A family lived, many years, in this house so old. One misty, dreary night, they heard a screaming sound When they reached, the house to watch, not a soul was found. No child, nor family, living thing around. Burnt candles, piece of chalk , and the wind unbound. Hearing the call ... of the House on the hill There is no hope ... no-one to break the spell Eternally lost ... in the House on the hill Try to bring light ... into this living hell The years have passed, the house still stands, no noise was ever heard. The valley people, close their eyes, like nothing there occurred. But the house, awakes that night, each and every year. A lone sad, screaming sound, would echo loud and clear. A resurrection, calling me, the house that blushed and bloomed The doors pale, windows shut, missing the entombed We both remain, all alone, Haunted - they say. Sitting still, in disrepair, just waiting to this day. Hearing the call ... of the House on the hill There is no hope ... no-one to break the spell Eternally lost ... in the House on the hill Try to bring light ... into this living hell.

The March to Extinction 05:22
lyrics
They talked about, the unity Yet acted from, the rivalry The great outburst, war untold The blood of earth, is getting cold Two worlds, the agony There’s no reason, in sanity Divided nations, rich and poor United armies, march in row …to extinction Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Sleep with corpses, rats too fat Smoking craters, a stench of death Comes the hour, of decisive attack A handful of soldiers, will come back Whoever starts, the massacre An infernal landscape, lies in despair Forget the two sides of a coin The authorities always, miss the point …of extinction Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Spread the word, await the grave What's insane, will stay the same Heralds of plague, crawl and rant Blackened souls, the no-mans land Take your place above the rest Enjoy the life they'll never get Mourn the dead, the rotting spawns Forget the living, till the dawn …of extinction Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill Attack, Shoot, Kill

Hollow Men 04:28
lyrics
Welfare, a dying word Greed is my, chosen lord Sales and egos, overgrown Scales of justice, hanging low Promises, lies they are Words deceive, from afar Building up, and knocking down Constant growth, don’t care how Greed is all around… a treachery A white collar world… in-sanity The vultures are, searching for flesh ‘n bones, of the poor You’re past, you, were my friend Fake smiles stay, till the end Lost my mind, a sacrifice Trade two goods, for one price Now you may, know my game. Your vote is, my tool of trade Greed is all around… a treachery A white collar world… in-sanity Well greased and, painted palms Rip you off, kick your balls See them pray, on their knees No one will, bull-shit me Pay-check is, my way out Sharp lies to, cut your throat Deals built on, loss and grief, A Hollow man, high-paid thief.

Panic at the Ward No. 9 03:28
lyrics
Last of trials, yet unfolds. Welcomes, a pilgrim home. An old asylum, forgotten hold. Black cell walls, are all I own. They like to think, they know it all. Stuck in ancient, cryptic halls. Numbly seeking, all that’s hidden. Yet they miss, the undisguised. Feel the madness rise! Panic at the ward nine! Mordant dreams, still untold. Stay awake, all night long. Bent shadows, twisted sound. Calling us, to be found. Across the halls, archways torn. Shambles through, a silent form. Our dear ward, the number nine, Infested by, a great old one. Feel the madness rise! Panic at the ward nine! A panic strikes, but in vain mad men try, to escape. The old asylum, holds its own. At the ward nine, I'm alone. The doctors burn, shriek in pain, As worm cries, an evil spell. Inhabitants, all insane, The ward nine, bursts to hell. Feel the madness rise! Panic at the ward nine!
