• 1. Dream Stealer (04:30)
   copy

  Go!
  
  The dream stealer comes at night
  Sneaks into our minds so deep
  Silent, sly, and out of sight
  A mental parasite
  Takes the hopes we hold so dear
  Corrupts our hearts with doubts and fear
  Makes us question all we know
  Fills our minds with sorrow's flow
  
  Dream stealer knows our thoughts
  Turns them into twisted knots
  Takes the light that shines within
  Leaves us lost in shadows dim
  
  Dream stealer
  It creeps and crawls
  Dream stealer
  A shadow self that constantly calls
  
  It whispers lies into our minds
  And twists the truth 'til we are blind
  
  It tells us we are not enough
  Makes us feel like we are stuck
  Steals the passion that we crave
  Fills our souls with empty graves
  
  Dream stealer knows our thoughts
  Turns them into twisted knots
  Takes the light that shines within
  Leaves us lost in shadows dim
  
  Dream stealer
  It creeps and crawls
  Dream stealer
  A shadow self that constantly calls
  Dream stealer
  With twisted claws
  Dream stealer
  A shadow self that constantly calls
  
  It whispers lies into our minds
  And twists the truth 'til we are blind
  It creeps and crawls
  A shadow self that always calls
  
  The Dream stealer knows our thoughts
  Turns them into twisted knots
  Takes the light that shines within
  Leaves us lost in shadows dim
  
  Dream stealer
  It creeps and crawls
  Dream stealer
  A shadow self that constantly calls
  (Dream stealer)
  It whispers lies into our minds
  And twists the truth 'til we are blind
  (Dream stealer)
  A shadow self that constantly calls
• 2. Illuminate the Path (04:49)
   copy

  Dark reflections, so deceptive
  Can't bear another day in this nightmare realm
  Storm clouds gather around
  Hopeless grief in a savage existence
  
  Inner strength, we call on thee
  Illuminate the path
  
  No, we won't go
  We won't turn our tails and run
  When the world has turned its back on us, we
  We carry on
  No, we won't go
  Winds of fate will pave the road
  We choose to live, we choose to stay
  We stand together, come what may
  And live to fight another day
  
  With every step, with every breath
  Won't surrender till the battle is won
  Battered and torn, our work is done
  Deep within, that spark still burns
  
  Inner strength, we call on thee
  Illuminate the path
  
  No, we won't go
  We won't turn our tails and run
  When the world has turned its back on us, we
  We carry on
  No, we won't go
  Winds of fate will pave the road
  We choose to live, we choose to stay
  We stand together, come what may
  And live to fight another day
  
  We choose to live, we choose to stay
  We stand together, come what may
  We face our fears with open arms
  And live to brave tomorrow's dawn
  Live to fight another day
• 3. March of the Miscreants (04:50)
   copy

  In realms obscure, forever underground
  We see the world with different eyes
  Hell-bound to this heretic sound
  Never give up - no compromise
  
  To endure, to persist
  Then rise above to exist
  Every setback a motivation
  A crucible for our creation
  
  This, this is our song
  The March of the Miscreants!
  All hail the spirit of the underdog!
  This is where we belong
  The March of the Miscreants!
  All hail the spirit of the underdog!
  
  Can't be bought, can't be sold
  It runs too deep, it's in our souls
  A driving force, an inner flame
  Throw off your mental chains
  
  To endure, to persist
  Then rise above to exist
  Every setback a motivation
  A crucible for our creation
  
  This, this is our song
  The March of the Miscreants!
  All hail the spirit of the underdog!
  This is where we belong
  The March of the Miscreants!
  All hail the spirit of the underdog!
  
  Our time has come, and it is now
  Will you take a stand or bend your knee and bow?
  Onwards and upwards
  Feel the heat, no retreat
  Unbowed, unswayed
  Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat
  
  From the shadows, we shall ascend
  Triumphant, triumphant and free
  
  To endure, to persist
  Then rise above to exist
  Every setback a motivation
  A crucible for our creation
  
  This, this is our song
  The March of the Miscreants!
  All hail the spirit of the underdog!
  This is where we belong
  The March of the Miscreants!
  All hail the spirit of the underdog!
• 4. A Million Suns (03:46)
   copy

  Vast expanse of endless space
  A speck of dust, a fleeting trace
  I stand upon this Earthly sphere
  A tiny soul, a mere veneer
  
  Beneath the canopy of night
  A universe aglow with light, tonight
  
  Countless stars, a million suns
  A cosmic dance of endless grace
  Telling tales of yesteryears, my fears I face
  As I, a human, find my place
  
  Amidst the grandeur of it all
  I feel so small, so very small
  A fleeting moment lost in time
  A fragile ember in the rhyme
  
  Beneath the canopy of night
  A universe aglow with light, tonight
  
  Countless stars, a million suns
  A cosmic dance of endless grace
  Telling tales of yesteryears, my fears I face
  As I, a human, find my place
  
  Countless stars, a million suns
  A cosmic dance of endless grace
  Telling tales of yesteryears, my fears I face
  As I, a human, find my place
• 5. Don't Look Down (04:08)
   copy

  Piercing thorns of venom
  Grow in the minds of the weak
  Mother nature gave us
  Lips to conceal our teeth
  
  Not wind, nor hail, nor thunder
  Will hinder the tall poppy's climb
  From the ashes, rise up
  Reach out for that speck of sky
  
  Listen
  You'll hear your name
  Praise echoes as disdain
  
  Stand your ground
  Heavy is the head that wears the crown
  Because the nail that sticks up gets hammered down
  Stand your ground
  No one is a prophet in their hometown
  Never look down
  
  As the sickle dances
  To decapitate the queen
  It's such a sick romance that
  Blades of grass can cut so deep
  
  Time for harvest, pay the piper
  A crescent moon to turn the tide
  As the song of insects
  Grinds away the still of night
  
  Listen
  They call your name
  Praise echoes as disdain
  
  Stand your ground
  Heavy is the head that wears the crown
  Because the nail that sticks up gets hammered down
  Stand your ground
  No one is a prophet in their hometown
  Never look down
  
  Oh
  Oh, off with her head
  Such a succubus needs to be bled
  Off with her head
  Don't look down
  Don't look down
  Stand your ground

• 7. Blood Dynasty (03:51)
   copy

  Cracks in the ice below our feet
  Our own worst enemy on all fronts
  A strategy of self-deceit?
  A hornets nest, about to be released
  
  Greedy teeth, they are glistening
  Ears sown shut, we're not listening
  Tomorrow's promised to no one
  Our silence – deafening
  
  The tolling of the bell
  Man-made destiny
  On a joyride to hell
  Our legacy – a blood dynasty
  
  Playing dumb, deaf and blind
  A redeemer that never came
  The ticking of the doomsday clock...
  We're running out of time
  
  The extinction of mankind foretold
  By our own hands, so brazen and cold
  The final knell, a mournful sound
  Echoes through the sky
  
  The tolling of the bell
  Man-made destiny
  On a joyride to hell
  Our legacy – a blood dynasty
  
  The extinction of mankind foretold
  By our own hands, so brazen and cold
  The final knell, a mournful sound
  Echoes through the sky
  A blood dynasty
  
  The tolling of the bell
  Man-made destiny
  On a joyride to hell
  Our legacy – a blood dynasty
  
  Our legacy – a blood dynasty
• 8. Paper Tiger (03:57)
   copy

  See no, hear no
  Speak no evil
  We are each our own devil
  And we make this world our hell
  
  Nothing burns like a memory
  The kind you want to forget
  But the hooks are in too deep
  And your body won't let you repent
  Inside you cry out for mercy
  A tug-of-war in your chest
  A lead feather, a loose chain
  A paper tiger in the rain
  
  Oh no
  Oh no
  Here it comes again
  
  The whisper in your ear
  The ideas that give life to shadows
  I am the devil you know
  
  Eyes up, look forward
  Anothеr mountain to climb
  Gravity feels stronger
  Under the wеight of night
  
  Oh no
  Oh no
  Here it comes again
  
  The whisper in your ear
  The ideas that give life to shadows
  I am the devil you know
  
  I am poison
  I am pain
  I am effigy
  I am the devil you know
  
  See no, hear no
  Speak no evil
  You have danced with the devil
  But you took each step alone
  
  Oh, the whisper in your ear
  The ideas that give life to shadows
  I am the devil you know
  Time to let go
• 9. Vivre Libre (04:07)
   copy

  A fleur de peau, les flots de haine
  Où les sanglots, font de la peine
  Avec des mots, de phrases saines
  Les idéaux, d'une idée vaine
  
  Vivre libre, oh vivre libre
  Et survivre pour vivre libre
  Vivre libre, oh vivre libre
  Et survivre pour vivre libre
  
  Trop de mort, pour une idée
  Et trop de corps, désespérés
  Dans un décor, de liberté
  Cherchant encore, la vérité
  
  Vivre libre, oh vivre libre
  Et survivre pour vivre libre
  Vivre libre, oh vivre libre
  Et survivre pour vivre libre
  
  Dans la noblesse du langage
  Le dernier geste de courage
  Et puis cesse l'esclavage
  Un jour le rêve prendra la loi
  
  Aucune trêve dans le combat
  La lumière fut, la lumière soit
  Que dans les rues, l'homme soit roi
  
  Vivre libre, oh vivre libre
  Et survivre pour vivre libre
  Vivre libre, oh vivre libre
  Et survivre pour vivre libre
• 10. The Pendulum (03:43)
   copy

  The sands of time, they slip away
  Through our fingers day by day
  Countless grains, a steady stream
  Lost forever like a fleeting dream
  
  Each grain a moment, a memory gone
  A story told, a love once shone
  A laughter shared, a tear shed
  All swept away as time marches ahead
  
  Always chasing something more
  Lifeline treading a fine line
  The future's knocking at the door
  
  Sands of time
  So merciless
  What are you waiting for?
  The pendulum swings back and forth
  
  The sands of time, they never cease
  A never-ending cycle of release
  Of what was once and what will be
  A reminder of our own mortality
  
  Always chasing something more
  Lifeline treading a fine line
  The future's knocking at the door
  
  Sands of time
  So merciless
  What are you waiting for?
  The pendulum swings back and forth
  
  Sands of time
  So merciless
  What are you waiting for?
  The pendulum swings back and forth
  
  The pendulum swings back and forth
• 11. Liars & Thieves (04:21)
   copy

  When the sky flashes red
  The shadows grow tall and night grips your throat again
  The grip of the night
  
  Stand where two voices collide
  Every soldier in your army is a year of your life
  A year of your life
  
  Friendly fire
  Truth is a thief
  Faith is a liar
  Get out of hell if you can't take the heat!
  
  Forged in flames, we glow
  An ember is made from every stone they throw
  Blow by blow
  
  Through the rain, we cure
  Stronger than before and twice as sure
  So heavy and pure
  
  Friendly fire
  Truth is a thief
  Faith is a liar
  Get out of hell while you can...
  
  Down to the wire
  Face to face with the three-headed hound
  Defeat the ire
  Get out of hell, get your feet back on the ground!
  
  A velvet glove!
  There's no damage done
  With a velvet glove, oh
  We keep holding on...
  
  An iron fist
  An iron fist in a velvet glove
  
  Get out of hell if you know you can't take the heat
