I am The Resurrectionist I work alone at night I got you on my list So, if you find that you are lost I’ll dig you up and wash you off [Chorus] Don’t give up, your trip is incomplete You got a long time left to go Use your eyes and see what’s at your feet Take a grab and don’t let go You’re in the dirt and with the worms But I can show you Honey, a brand new world So, take my hand up from the grave The pain inside you dear will make for even trade [Chorus] It’s not black magic that I use Oh but the power of love I will give to you So when you need your faith restored I am the man inside your needs are looking for [Chorus]

Minaret 04:30
Coalition’s haunting you; spilling blood to make the news Disconnects your humanity train them all for catastrophe Elders in their Mercedes Benz, plastic bombs that’ll make the end Hot sand flowing in your veins, to make the pain of the war remain Oh hatred finds you, ' Trapped in the Minaret” Desert storm inside you, “Trapped in the Minaret” Scorpion in a winters feast, fighting for supremacy Prophets lips that motion slow, Speak the truth that the blood has sown From the rock messiahs leap, into their dark eternity Never knowing of their work, of suicides and a martyrs words Oh hatred finds you, ' Trapped in the Minaret” Desert storm inside you, “Trapped in the Minaret” Ancient words can blind you, “Trapped in the Minaret” Burning lives can guide you. From the grave for the pocket change The more you bleed the more it stays the same M16 to serenade A future war already made Banners black and flying high To be shot down and crucified So alone and from the sand To make a home of the wasted land

Momento Mori 05:57
Make your mark with words or song Make your way into the storm Hold your head above the din Keep the light that lives within Leave your name in written past Feel the beat of history’s dance Keep your faith when crosses burn Love the ones that love returns [Chorus] There is a time for ghosts There is a time for us There is a time to live Momento Mori Shout your name in to the wind Get back up and fall again Drink your fill the lavish feast Taste the fruit that’s at your feet Make your mark with words or song Make your way in to the storm Keep your faith when crosses burn Love the ones that love returns [Chorus]

All the ghosts of men who burned the city Trapped amongst the wrecks of war made hell Drifting aimlessly through the ashes Stories only shades of bombs that fell They’re calling out to me forever wanting Tanks have left their tracks on to the sand Skeletons of dreams are my movement And memories of me with little chance [Chorus] Where the atomic wind blows I live in the City of Dead Echoes Songs only phantoms can know They cry in the City of Dead Echoes Wandering the fields of this nightmare Dodging all the wolves that make it home Longing for the light of the living But only by grenades of stories told [Chorus] For the attention of the residents of Republic. The Council informs you that due to the accident at the Power Station, the radioactive conditions in the vicinity are deteriorating. The Ruling Party, its officials and the armed forces are taking necessary steps to combat this. Nevertheless, with a view to keep people as safe and healthy as possible, the children being top priority, we need to temporarily evacuate the citizens in the nearest towns of the region. For these reasons, starting at 2 pm, each apartment block will be able to have a bus at its disposal, supervised by the police and the city officials. It is highly advisable to you to take your documents, some vital personal belongings and a certain amount of food. The senior executives of public and industrial facilities of the city has decided on the list of employees that need to stay to maintain these facilities in a good working order. All the houses will be guarded by the police during the evacuation period. Leaving your residences temporarily please make sure you have turned off the lights, electrical equipment and water. Please keep calm and orderly in the process of this short-term evacuation. Where the atomic wind blows I live in the City of Dead Echoes Songs only phantoms can know They cry in the City of Dead Echoes

I'm not a fool, for cutting in line Just like the camera man at the scene of the crime Mouth to a flame, I know it will hurt Through all those countless scars and the bridges I’ve burned But something inside me, a reactor gone bad Like Fukushima in the hands of the mad Something scary about being bad It’s the life you could never have Help myself to the way I live Another fool, on a sinking ship I hear the song, a long distant sound Leads me to water in the hopes that I’ll drown On the horizon, I see the lights Just like the circus clowns we are drawn to the night drawn to the night drawn to the night

Something in the sound of night A warning for you to hear No matter where you run and go It is always there, and oh so near You know the train, a broken wreck Holding on amongst the raging world Billboards of calamity, a one way road of empty words A serpent for a messenger The words are sweet and sour to your taste The business end of falling deals Clearly it’s the life you love to chase The water from the spoiled well Looking down you see your weathered face Twisting in the inky black Folded in your cage of no escape Bridge Something mad in your mind and you cannot let go when everybody around, can see that you are exposed But you go on instead, falling right in the hole That you cannot climb out, no matter how much you know So in the city of fire and it’s all that you know You’re just a shadow for hire, with a dream you let go A token of love, bore these stiches of faith And you keep hanging on because it’s never too late All your sweat and regret, and the money you burn Hard habit to break, because you'll never learn I said alone on the road, and with a dying sunset See the stars never show until the darkness descends. Knowing you’re the mark They intend to collect Runaway to save yourself But ending up once again entrapped Swimming for the shallow end Try your luck to reach the other side A distant shore it seems to be, Because of endless tides.

Nazca Lines 05:45
In this garden, of bones and blood See this light that hangs above We are the riders of the veil, Distant galaxies we've sailed We have found you in the blue, A cosmic treasure to be true Unbeknownst but understood They can speak with lips unmoved We've come among you from the stars, Strangers traveled from afar We have landed in your heat, By the lines you've made complete [Chorus] The desert’s where you'll find, Broken rocks and Nazca lines With golden hands, they raise us up Teach us from the dirt and mud We will help you if we can, Your mind is far to understand But mistake us for your god, It’s only life with years apart [Chorus] The desert’s where you'll find, Broken rocks and Nazca lines The third one from the sun, Nazca lines will guide us home Mod..solo... We are the riders of the veil, Distant galaxies we've sailed We have found you in the blue, A cosmic treasure to be true [Chorus 2x] The desert’s where you'll find, Broken rocks and Nazca lines The third one from the sun, Nazca lines will guide us home

Crisis Suite 04:22
Blood has spilled in your Crisis Suite never get the stain up off the floor The broken boys that you keep on ice will give you comfort for ever more You keep your love in cryogenic sleep you’re waiting for the master plan But now ‘til then you’ll play the viper’s game while toasting drinks to all your sins Whoa ooo whoa The door man smiles as they make their way up to the stairs and for her stars But what they find is a burned out room where no emotions can survive Another night in your Crisis Suite another victim to the wolves You pen you thoughts then a sip of wine you’ve grown accustomed to all the cold [Chorus] Because rent, you’ll pay Your heart, betrayed The same old day, in your Crisis Suite Because rent, you’ll pay Your heart, betrayed The same old day, C’mon Rent Your heart The same

You say you’re pining for the past and wish it could have last Like a busted Barbie doll and a phone you cannot call A street that you once lived devoid of all the kids Was there always this decay or was I blinded by the day [Chorus] You can’t flash back Well there’s nothing you can do You can’t flash back You’re a song without a tune You can’t flash back Painted glass and boulevards broken piece of twisted art A place that you once knew is a place that’s through with you [Chorus] A sky that’s not so blue a grey light that fills the room You can’t flash back Colorless and bereaved of any stars to be seen You can’t flash back But yet there’s something there a hint of your despair You can’t flash back Familiar yet unknown and a house that’s not your home You can’t flash back Well there’s nothing you can do You can’t flash back You’re a song without a tune You can’t flash back Well there’s nothing you can do You can’t flash back You’re a song without a tune You can’t flash back Can’t flash back Can’t flash back You can’t flash back You can’t flash back

Rain Shadow 04:30
Something you find at the end of the road Something broken in flames With a carpenter’s skill, the wreckage you make Constructing beautiful graves Building the cross was a hobby of yours Until the money came in A fraction of time is all that it takes To let the venom within [Chorus] See the Rain Shadow covering me In dark tomorrow lost at sea I hear the sirens out in the cold Thundering voices begin to take hold Broken from bones that make up your bed A hole in which you can rest Prevailing in thirst alone with the dogs Survive the storm of the lost [Chorus]

Her face is in the crowd, With shadows for her shroud She reaches for you still, A grave she needs to fill A phantom’s kiss you feel, Like an arm that isn’t real You try to get away, From the flame that she creates [Chorus] Queen’s appetite In the afterlife. Never enough, for the queen of shadows The voice you cannot use, Is like the wrong that chooses you Footsteps that you hear, Is like the wolf that's drawing near [Chorus] Haunted by her ghost in this broken house A curse you cannot lift, she seals with a kiss She’s a key you cannot turn, A truth you can’t unlearn I'm a trophy on display, In this gilded cage Queen’s appetite In the afterlife. Never enough,

I drank my fill of you, for my Eucharist My broken body bends to comfort all my sins Behind the looking glass, the relic always wins I can’t escape the chain it has me pain in full Release the curse inside and passed it on to you And for the record I was just another fool. A fool. A fool. A fool. [Chorus] It’s your god in black There’s no going back Contract you will fill In your earthly will [2xs] You want some good advice on how it can be used That in the end you see it’s always using you A common thread inside of horror coming through A backward glance of life that you have always lived A wish for words to weep on to the pain they give A game of chance is when you over place the bid. A bid. A bid. A bid. [Chorus] It’s your god in black There’s no going back Contract you will fill In your earthly will [2xs]
