TRANSGRESSION Solo: David The pact is broken, the deal is off At that moment we called their bluff No words were spoken as the child died Another victim of suicide Beyond the boundaries of mortal sin Their crime – none can forgive The pact is broken, the deal is off As they leave crying we stand and scoff Transgression Transgression Transgression Transgression A cult of darkness, sworn to deceive Preying on the hopeful and naïve Cruel and heartless, wolves in the fold Strangle the boy now, before he grows old Beyond the boundaries of mortal sin Their ruthless crime – none can forgive A cult of darkness, sworn to deceive Avoid the wicked web they weave Transgression Transgression Transgression Transgression Transgressors - there’s no absolution The Blade will bring – just retribution Transgressors – await execution Justice prevails – the final solution Solos: Janne Transgression Transgression Transgression Transgression

NOWHERE RIDERS The long road is calling tonight The restless have gathered for flight Spirits and ghosts on the wind Tell tales of the places we’ve been The air is charged with power Lust and anguish burn Something’s got to give And you know that we’ll never return Anxiety cries out for war Yesterday’s lost in the engines’ roar So cheers to you my friend And cheers to the pain One keeps me alive And the other keeps me sane We’re on our way… going nowhere… We’re on our way… to nowhere at all… Solo: David The wheels are set in motion And now they can’t be stopped Trying would be foolish And you would end up crushed We’re on our way… going nowhere… We’re on our way… to nowhere at all…

CRUCIBLE OF WAR Can you hear the thunder marching Beating on the asphalt drum The snake of iron rattles loudly To let all know what's to come Marching, chanting to the rhythm Incantations seal the spell The warlord seeks the ancient knowledge A force of fear he will propel The sky is painted red with banners Stating might and glory raised Towers built upon the feeble To cover discontentment's waste In the Crucible of War Rendered bodies pierced with justice Consequences of betrayal Mutilation states examples Drawn in blood, falsehood's portrayal In the Crucible of War Blood and rust Screams of the dying Bones to dust In death unifying We bear the mark Cursed forevermore No life remains In the Crucible of War
