The Dark Strain 04:20
lyrics

Blood. Silver blood, it's taking her There's blood, silver blood, I'm missing her Ah she knows my face, but not my name Ah I'm begging you for a remedy Take her to the killing priests Or watch as she slips Into darkness Darkness Will you let her die? No survival. Power's not meant for man This is the might of gods Blood. Silver blood, it's killing her There's blood, silver blood, I'm losing her Ah she speaks in tongues, no one's taught Ah I'm begging you for a remedy Her veins will ache She'll be consumed This fabled Strain Will be her doom Blegh! Take her to the killing priests Or watch as she slips Into darkness Darkness Will you let her die The Dark Strain, I will rescue her from The Dark Strain, I'll do whatever it takes Drain the Silver Blood! Drain the Silver Blood!

Justice for the Fallen 04:58
lyrics

(Monologue): "Welcome Prospects. Thus begins your first year at Argoda Temple. You have worked to get this far, only to face greater dangers. The Ichorite's Plague is spreading across the nation, to save us all you must study their nature, and leave any and every attachment behind. Here you will learn the skills to protect yourself and your peers, dedicate your life to our teachings. You must destroy the shell and contain this merciless energy within so no more souls lay waste, to this possessive force. But know this, if you fail, you will die." The bright faces of today will be ashes by the morn' Of those I meet, who will return? Will it always be goodbye? Honour! Resilience! Pillars of this Temple Do you stand with us? In this land our task means justice for the fallen. See them claw, scars in their skin See them gasping, air they can't breathe in See them clay, scars in their skin See them gasping, air they can't breathe in Honour! Resilience! Pillars of this Temple Do you stand with us? (Monologue): "The time has come for you to show us your strength, and undying devotion to this Temple. Now go, and kill the Ichorite's before you. This will show your worth. In this land our task means justice for the fallen. In this land our task means justice for the fallen.

Sail on waves of blood Sail on waves of blood. The Collector, it's my favourite name. They say I'm the bad guy, mostly insane Sail on waves of blood Sail on waves of blood It's a hard business, where, I'm the boss You could do well too, but for a cost Ophesa's fall was right on time The Allfather's collapse begins The Dark Strain will be mine Sail on waves of blood Escape death for fun Sail on waves of blood Escape death for fun Sail on waves of blood Sail on waves of blood I'm only human, I'm just like you Well except, for the killing that I like to do The Lady Mother's here, before my feet It's Ovn's turn, to worship me Ophesa's fall was right on time, The Allfather's collapse begins The Dark Strain will be mine Sail on waves of blood Escape death for fun Sail on waves of blood Escape death for fun His Armada, it fights as one Towns! Cities! Overrun Enter Bloodroot.

Lost Factor 03:40

They all judge and don't understand, say I'm lost 'cause it's not their plan But I've got a dream you can't believe, the kind of hopes only artists foresee Write your own destiny, break down the fallacy Don't wait for gates from another time, You have one life And it's passing by This is the path, known to few, be brave if its shown to you Take a risk, and you could be living in a fantasy Don't wait for gates, from another time You have one life And it's passing by I will set myself apart I will set myself apart Don't wait for gates from another time You have one life And its passing by Don't wait for gates from another time You have one life And it's passing by.

Fight to find the fault in this You are no friend of mine This war, I will win This sin, is mine to inflict You're only a remnant of the past No moral dilemma You've reached your end I'll give you retribution Swords clashing Bodies aching You've got nothing that'll take me out Swords clashing Bodies aching You've got nothing that'll take me out Fight to find the fault in this You are no friend of mine This war, I will win This sin, is mine to inflict You're only a remnant of the past Fight to find the fault in this You are no friend of mine Reap the soul The life you stole Your haunting ends tonight

Loyalties Die 04:39
lyrics

Armies of dust, idols from sand Since when were we so many? But their blood is cold, and my heart is weak. Oh, what have you done? How can destruction, befall us? We are descendants of a god? I have to break free Of this calamity My heart aches for my own As my daughters wander alone He's fooled us all The illusion's gone Armies of dust, idols from sand Since when were we so many? But their blood is cold, and my heart is weak. Oh, what have you done? How could I be so blind? His word, his truth, all lies I have to break free Of this calamity My heart aches for my own As my daughters wander alone Seek the truth Be anew Seek the truth Be anew A rebellion brews! The deceiver falls from grace My love for him Eternally erased He's fooled us all The illusion's gone Armies of dust, idols from sand Since when were we so many? But their blood is cold, and my heart is weak. Oh, what have you done? A rebellion brews A rebellion brews.
