THE HUNT IS ON Lyrics by Fred Morg Ear drums bleed - The creature crashes down Dragging its victims, prolonging their suffering Weary-eyed - Torture throughout the night Heads pound from earaches, From braving the deafening tide ASSAULT WITH DEADLY WAVES PUMMELED BY SOUND AND FROM THIS MOMENT NOW THE HUNT IS ON Listening - Is not an option but Rather a toll paid, Amongst the surviving You'll pay too - Witness the onslaught Watch as your loved ones, Kneel as it runs them through ASSAULT WITH DEADLY WAVES PUMMELED BY SOUND AND FROM THIS MOMENT NOW THE HUNT IS ON OUT TO GET YA! ……….. COMIN FOR YA! RUN!! MONSTERS OF SOUND - SCREAMING OUT LOUD MONSTERS OF SOUND - CRUSHING THE CROWD Soaring through the smog-poisoned air - Capturing prey through its icy stare... Terror rise and bring forth the day - When all bow and send praise its way... Terror rise and bring forth the day - When all bow and send praise its way... Ear drums bleed - The creature crashes down Dragging its victims, prolonging their suffering Weary-eyed - Torture throughout the night Heads pound from earaches, From braving the deafening tide ASSAULT WITH DEADLY WAVES PUMMELED BY SOUND AND FROM THIS MOMENT NOW THE HUNT IS ON RUN!! MONSTERS OF SOUND - SCREAMING OUT LOUD MONSTERS OF SOUND - CRUSHING THE CROWD

LIFE IS SUFFERING Lyrics by Fred Morg Live to suffer life's unforeseen pain in everything And live beyond the shadows of a doubt Live to suffer the worst of days, crushed in every way And leave behind shattered bits of pride No finding joy without some sadness Dark is just a growing lack of light World - a well-lit stage set for the broken Find solace in the dead of night Find solace in the dead of night LIFE IS SUFFERING...PEACE IN DISARRAY Life's passion comes from lack of knowing What to expect from day to day Along with life comes sudden chance of heartbreak Freewill cuts puppets from their strings Freewill cuts puppets from their strings LIFE IS SUFFERING… CALM WITHIN THE STORM No one ever… promised you No bad things… would come to you Long and hard we fear the worst, just to find a world of hurt Expectations raised up high; desperation to the sky WE - SCRATCH AT THE WALLS - WAIT FOR THE FALLS - SUFFER IT ALL You can't make it better - just accept to suffer on WE HOPE, WE DREAM, WE LIVE, WE SUFFER….ALONE WE HOPE, WE DREAM, WE LIVE, WE SUFFER….ALONE Life's passion comes from lack of knowing What to expect from day to day Along with life comes sudden chance of heartbreak Freewill cuts puppets from their strings Freewill cuts puppets from their strings LIFE IS SUFFERING...CALM WITHIN THE STORM WE BRAVE THE STORM.

Ride On 05:10
RIDE ON Lyrics by Bill Dixon From just a boy to now a man He's traveled all across the land He's seen the good, he's seen the bad He's seen a glimpse of what he could've had RIDE ON - RIDE TO THE END RIDE ON - RIDE TO THE END From the mountains to the valleys From the oceans to the streams From the city to the country To all the wonders he has yet to see RIDE ON - RIDE TO THE END RIDE ON - RIDE TO THE END Far from the past behind him, and onwards towards the sun Loud pipes drown out the demons that haunt him A ghost of the places, now far behind All he leaves are memories, a picture in a mind Each day like the next, He has little sense of time He knows one purpose, get on that bike and ride RIDE ON - RIDE TO THE END RIDE ON - RIDE TO THE END On through the night he rides This is his battle cry It's a way of life Get on that bike and ride...

Samsara 03:29
SAMSARA Lyrics by Fred Morg SAMSARA Living and lying SAMSARA Dying and crying The proof you're looking for Is not worth searching for You make the bed in which you're lying KARMA'S WEIGHING DOWN YOUR LIVES SOULS KEEP SEARCHING FOR WHAT'S RIGHT SAMSARA Living and dying SAMSARA Lying in waiting The proof you're searching for Is time you're wasting so Improve this life in which you're living KARMA'S WEIGHING DOWN YOUR LIVES SOULS KEEP SEARCHING FOR THE BRIGHT SIDE Footprints left behind by wounded souls, Leave behind the scars of blissful worlds, Still time left to shift and make amends, Before good deeds meet their final ends THIS LIFE COULD RUIN THE NEXT…..CAREFUL WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO TREAD CYCLES OF LIFE LEAVE THEIR MARK…...LEAVING MANKIND IN THE DARK SAMSARA Living and lying SAMSARA Dying and crying The proof you're looking for Is not worth searching for You make the bed in which you're lying KARMA'S WEIGHING DOWN YOUR LIVES SOULS KEEP SEARCHING FOR WHAT'S RIGHT KARMA'S WEIGHING DOWN YOUR LIVES SOUL'S STILL SEARCHING FOR IT

GRASP AT THE SKY Lyrics by Fred Morg Master of words already spoken Leader down paths already taken Wait - live like a heathen Saving yourself right at the end Cowardly self-indulgence Living a life led to regress Shameless hoarding of pity Catapult through the world alone GRASP AT THE SKY CUZ YOU NEVER REALIZE ALL THE STRENGTH YOU HAVE TRAPPED INSIDE WASTING AWAY TIL THEY SAVE YOU GRASP AT THE SKY MAYBE GODS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE- SINCE YOU THREW AWAY THE WILL TO TRY PRAYING "RESCUE MY SOUL” (Soul-)starved, desperate for healing Still much too proud to acknowledge Climb - stomping on others Beg for forgiveness but not from them Steam-powered self and transgression - throw aside hollowed shells of pride Replace with endless compassion Master of shifting deflection - rotting entrails trapped inside Replace with endless compassion Take time, rectify Master of words already spoken Leader down paths already taken Wait - live like a heathen Saving yourself right at the end GRASP AT THE SKY CUZ YOU NEVER REALIZE ALL THE STRENGTH YOU HAVE TRAPPED INSIDE WASTING AWAY TIL THEY SAVE YOU GRASP AT THE SKY MAYBE GODS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE- SINCE YOU THREW AWAY THE WILL TO TRY PRAYING "RESCUE MY SOUL"

Lydia 06:34
LYDIA Lyrics by Fred Morg The quest for currency is brutal - Turns men into beasts They clutch belongings in their talons - On others' weaknesses they feast From its inception man has lusted - Lures man into snares The center pillar of existence - For what else does he even care? GREED TORN AND BLINDLY KILLING FOR THE PROPHECY SO SAYETH THE ANCIENT CURSE OF BLOOD-STAINED COINS OF LYDIA We butcher flesh in honor of it - Fed off the sickness We put ourselves in danger for it - Cannibals devouring emptiness And cursed by want, it takes us over - Strike blind the true needs By forging evil from the alloy - The seeds of self-indulgent deeds GREED TORN AND BLINDLY KILLING FOR THE PROPHECY SO SAYETH THE ANCIENT CURSE OF BLOOD-STAINED COINS OF LYDIA Money - Rules the kingdom - Power Awarded to the wealthy - Never has time changed this We struggle on - and fight for next to none Steady rivers flowing through mountains of shame and deceit Envy swimming upstream Some want it so badly they start to fray Civilizations left to decay So what has currency shown us? - The faces underneath The lack of trust has taken over - Fuel for the raging flames of greed So in this moment man must challenge his pride to shut down All that these coins can ever offer - More weight to crush you to the ground GREED TORN AND BLINDLY KILLING FOR THE PROPHECY SO SAYETH THE ANCIENT CURSE OF BLOOD-STAINED COINS OF LYDIA Money - Rules the kingdom - Power Awarded to the wealthy - Never has time changed this We struggle on - and fight for next to none

Save Me 05:32
SAVE ME Lyrics by Bill Dixon Wake up in the morning and your head is spinnin' 'round No recollection of the night before Get yourself together with a little hair of the dog Shower and a shave and you're out the door THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE COME TO KNOW AS LIVING DYING JUST A BIT MORE EVERY DAY CALLING OUT BUT NOBODY IS LISTENING SOMEBODY SAVE ME Spending more and more for you to be yourself What worked before isn't helping now Caught in a downward spiral out of control Bringing yourself further and further down THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE COME TO KNOW AS LIVING DYING JUST A BIT MORE EVERY DAY CALLING OUT BUT NOBODY IS LISTENING SOMEBODY SAVE ME Light turns to darkness, pleasure to pain Can't stop the walls from closing in You're in a nightmare, you can't awake You'd rather die than fight to live Somebody save me It's almost over now, you've reached the end Taking you down from the inside Your body's too weak, your mind is blown And now there's nowhere left to hide ...Chains that hold you- like a force it owns you And you'll never climb out- of this hole you've dug around you Hope has faded- all you do is wait now For the end- that surely comes to you WAKE UP

Nightmare 09:12
NIGHTMARE Lyrics by Bill Dixon Don't close your eyes - don't fall asleep Your nightmare is calling to you Safe in the light - so you want to believe Let down your guard and it's in Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run to Can't get away from your mind Your demons are laughing, they're calling for you Only a matter of time SCREAM - IF IT HELPS YOU TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN FIGHT - IF YOU THINK IT'LL GET YOU SOMEWHERE CRY - WHEN ALL ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED AND WELCOME TO YOUR NIGHTMARE Shadows around you - voices you hear Change your reality A moment of weakness - a slight touch of doubt Is all that the evil will need All that you though you knew, gone forever When it takes control Nothing can stop it, it won't go away Waiting to take hold SCREAM - IF IT HELPS YOU TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN FIGHT - IF YOU THINK IT'LL GET YOU SOMEWHERE CRY - WHEN ALL ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED AND WELCOME TO YOUR NIGHTMARE Don't close your eyes - don't fall asleep Your nightmare is calling to you Safe in the light - so you want to believe Let down your guard and it's in Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run to Can't get away from your mind Your demons are laughing, they're calling for you Only a matter of time SCREAM - IF IT HELPS YOU TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN FIGHT - IF YOU THINK IT'LL GET YOU SOMEWHERE CRY - WHEN ALL ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED AND WELCOME TO YOUR NIGHTMARE
