Arch Enemy Will to Power 1. Set Flame To The Night [Instrumental] 2. The Race I heard there was a race Where we're all one race Color, gender, age never could dictate I saw there was a time When we valued all life Nobody oppressed, everyone had rights Suddenly, in an age where the distance between us is binary All we see, is an internal war friendly fire in the sky and respect on the floor Constricting like a heart attack A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets! Blood boiling with the burning heat Of caustic defeat, now there's no turning back Ha! so we laugh while the tides all turn Maiting grey matter, voluntarily slaves Always searching for the one real truth So we can misconstrue it to sun our needs Constricting like a heart attack A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets! Blood boiling with the burning heat Of caustic defeat, now there's no turning back Ingesting, operant conditioning Divine contamination, like lye on flesh - It stings Trust your leaders, trust the system, reproduce, repeat Never question authority, never suspect deceit! Always on the run Can't remember where we're running to or what we're running from But we're picking up speed All the books and broadcast? Jettison! Without their burden true ethics are freed Extract the labels that lobotomize And you'll realize we are all one Fly or swim, fur or skin We're alive! Abolitionists rise! Constricting like a heart attack A mythomaniac on the loose in the streets! Blood boiling with the burning heat Of caustic defeat, now don't go turning back 3. Blood In The Water There's blood in the water There's fear in the air An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth And we're all running scared! Ashes to ashes And dust to dust while bombs never rust Watch the war on your screen Yesterday's deals were just a dream There's blood in the water Round and round we go Where this will end nobody knows There's profit in prophets Too much money in lies Missiles fueled by hatred As the blind lead the blind! Round and round we go Where this will end nobody knows Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Have we finally run out of road? You can't build a wall high enough Can't dig a deep enough hole Equality, now a profanity Wave goodbye to nomanity There's a monster under your bed You created it so don't be scared Round and round we go Where this will end nobody knows Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Have we finally run out of road? You can't build a wall high enough Can't dig a deep enough hole There's blood in the water There's fear in the air An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth And we're all running scared! There's blood in the water An eye for an eye... There's blood in the water There's blood in the water 4. The World Is Yours Rise into the light and fade to the night Sick of being told how to run your life Their rules They're fools Empty words they promise so much The present status quo remains untouched If you want the world Use your mind Take control Feel the strength Rise from within If you really want it the world is yours Every empire was raised by the slain Built through the age and you can destroy it in a day Turn the page Unleash your rage Burn your golden cage and walk away On your path toward ultimate power If you want the world Use your mind Take control Feel the strength Rise from within If you really want it the world is yours Striking at the leash Foaming at the mouth No more subservience Justice will be done There's only so much You can take There is only so much You can tolerate When the bound breaks, the empire will fall If you want the world Use your mind Take control Feel the strength Rise from within If you really want it the world is yours If you want the world Use your mind Take control Feel the strength Rise from within If you really want it the world is yours 5. The Eagle Flies Alone When I was born the seed was sown I will not obey, my life is my own Battle rose, which do enslave me Exposed lies that enrage me I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell Never joined the herd, could not adjust well Slave and master, it's not for me I chose my own path, set myself free I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the pοwers that be The eagle flies alone Reject the system that dictates the norm This world is full of lies and deceit I ask my own betrayal, cut so deep Suffered defeat only to rise again I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone Alone! I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone 6. Reason To Believe There's a scar on your heart But your journey's just begun A distant light that's worth the fight The story's far from done Stop hurting yourself Those tired sores have nothing more to bleed Self hatred I know it well it's dragging you down Listen to me now There's a reason to believe again There's a reason to go on Always keep on fighting my friend There's a reason to believe They don't understand you And they hate what they don't understand You are more than they'll ever know Like sand through your fingers Don't let your life slip away This prison of glass can't hold you back no more! Self hatred I know it well it's dragging you down Listen to me now There's a reason to believe again There's a reason to go on Always keep on fighting my friend There's a reason to believe There's a reason to believe again There's a reason to go on Always keep on fighting my friend There's a reason to believe There's a reason to believe again There's a reason to go on Listen to me... Always keep on fighting my friend 7. Murder Scene Turning a blind eye Won't make the world disappear The second sight returns So, too, does the pain and fear I'll refuse to acknowledge I'll refuse to accept Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret You... once so close to me This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me Your presence forever will be exposure therapy There stand strangers where the world used to be Can't take change or are retinas still not letting me see? I'll refuse to acknowledge I'll refuse to accept Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret You... once so close to me This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me Your presence forever will be exposure therapy No "we", no "us" Two halves un-whole I'm your sisyphus You laugh every roll And you will suffer And you will drown You are the victor? How heavy's the crown? You... once so close to me This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me Your presence will forever be dead to me 8. First Day In Hell Torn from home, sent down death's railroad, are we When we wake up tomorrow Will we still be wearing this curse? Will we wake up tomorrow? Which punishment is worse? Day one: no sun Stripped of our names Now we are merely numbers Permanently inked in the flames Our kind - our existence lights the fire Igniting hell on earth Archangels bending crosses, hooked Innocent men, women, children Sentenced before conviction With golden stars to guide them Their gavel is the end of a gun Day two: lived through More culprits arrive Every cage so crowded How will we survive through the night? Our kind - our existence lights the fire Igniting hell on earth Archangels bending crosses, hooked First day in hell First day in hell See the terror in abandoned gates... Fear sunken eyes Get the guards and walk a dozen paces, saturnine Incarcerated without reason Doomend by blood Anti-venom for a poisoned nation Our birth right Week five: alive Soon out of time After all that I've, here, witnessed There's no value in life Our kind - our existence lights the fire Igniting hell on earth Archangels bending crosses, hooked First day in hell First week in hell See the terror in abandoned gates Fear sunken eyes Get the guards and walk a dozen paces, saturnine First month in hell Incarcerated without reason Doomend by blood Anti-venom for a poisoned nation Our birth right Last day in hell 9. Saturnine [Instrumental] 10. Dreams Of Retribution Screams echo through the halls Fingernails dragging down the walls Broken down, betrayed, abandoned Never thought you'd see my face again? Behind barred windows I watch the sky Not an hour goes by without asking why Broken down, betrayed, abandoned Never thought you'd see my face again? Well, did you? Plotting my revenge is the only thing keeping me alive Then they administer the medicine Straight to my heart Listen to me! I'm not insane! Leave me be! Set me free! In a place so dark that demons fear I'm rotting away, year after year You're on the outside, you're laughing at me One day, you'll pay, you will see Plotting my revenge is the only thing keeping me alive Then they administer the medicine Straight to my heart Listen to me! I'm not insane! Leave me be! Set me free! You made them believe In the lies that you weave Now everyone's an enemy Who to believe? They shut off the lights Another sleepless night awaits Dreams of retribution keep me awake My vengence will be glorious, victorious Plotting my revenge is the only thing keeping me alive Then they administer the medicine Straight to my heart Listen to me! I'm not insane! Leave me be! Set me free! You will see! 11. My Shadow And I You bathe in sorrow, drowning in hate You kill tomorrow, fighting against the fates Raise hell - wipe that smile off your face Raise hell - fall into place Pick up your entrails the time has come Leave the bed of nails, let it all burn Raise hell - wipe that smile off your face Raise hell - embrace hell Nobody drives you down the less traveled road Me and my shadow - we know the way through Your face disgusts me, turn it away You think you know at whom you're staring? Raise hell - I'll scrape that smile off your face Raise hell - The end of all days What is this defense you're drowning in? Give up the pretense, it's sink or swim Raise hell - I'll scrape that smile off your face Raise hell - The end of all days Nobody drives you down the less traveled road Me and my shadow - we know the way through Right behind me matching every stride Though you're made of darkness You only appear in the light You made your bed, now lay Why die in peace while living in fear? Didn't you know your heaven was insincere Raise hell - unite the fire and sky Raise hell - and bury the lie Nobody drives you down the less traveled road Me and my shadow - we know the right way to go 12. A Fight I Must Win I've lived in darkness Stealing the light Ground ruler shadows Between wrong and right One thing I know for sure This is a fight I must win! With wings of teen and freedom sewn I crash against the ground below It's not the first time won't be the last time Gotten put myself up Get outta the show One thing I know for sure This is a fight I must win! I can feel the coming storm There's a demon I have to control One more fight I must win Fight the demons dwelling within I'm not like I was before I'm something less I'm something more This life has been beset Blackened crosses on the beach One thing I know for sure This is a fight I must win! I can feel the coming storm There's a demon I have to control One more fight I must win Fight the demons dwelling within Alone in my cloak of lead Chocking on words of lies Heard all the answers To them lies I can feel the coming storm There's a demon I have to control One more fight I must win There's a the demons dwelling within This is a fight I must win A fight I must win [4x]
