1) We March
3:25, lyrics:
We bury our friends, our loved ones
We grief but we won't stop
We face resistance unimaginable
We won't stop now, no!

We march, we march forward
We march, forward

The trenches are emptier now
The piles of bodies grow

Pray for the weak, pray for yourself now

We march, we march forward
We march, forward


2) Destroy
3:33, lyrics:
The sickening parasite attached once again
Causing hate, abhorrence
This disease comes with many names
It is a guide to a place of horror

Where's the cure for the cancer?
Where's the ending for this madness?

With reinforcements overcome the scourge
Crush the bonds and be free
This chalice is not meant for you
These chains are now to be torn

Destroy the parasite!
Destroy the parasite!
Destroy!


3) Arise New Army
3:47, lyrics:
Now the journey begins
Time to leave the past behind
No map or road to follow
The Spirit is your guide now

You walk into the unknown
Darkness surrounding
A new shield you carry
A new courage has risen

You are on a mission now
To take a stand and show the way
A new fire to light the souls
Reuniting the scattered ones

Through valleys of darkness
Through pain and tribulations
The new army arises
Together to the victory

Arise!


4) Eradicate the Aggression
2:48, lyrics:
Inexplicable hate
Brother against brother
Disruption among the people

This is not what we were called to
Unity is what we should seek
This madness must end

Eradicate the aggression

This time we shall fight together

Stop the irrational behavior
Call back your troops of hate
Focus on the task at hand
Remember what we were called to

Format: CD

1) Before the Falling Night
3:45, lyrics:
The enemy surrounds me,
entrenched on every side
My defense is getting weak,
no strength left to fight
They come with great power,
they have no remorse
Death lurks around me,
waiting to run its course

Master

Hide me from this hate
Take away this pain
Don't let my enemy take me
Don't let them crush me in this place

Take me into your arms
Carry me as I'm weak
Let me see your light
Let me face you before the falling night

I am outnumbered, I feel alone here
Be with me O Lord, be with me


2) The Giants Will Fall
2:40, lyrics:
Stoned, Killed, dead
Stoned, Killed, dead

''I defy the armies of Israel this day!
Give me a man so that we may fight together!
Come here and try to kill me!''

The giants will fall
Great armies will flee
In front of the Almighty

3) Deathspread
3:19, lyrics:
      The old corpse buried underground
Flesh eating creature, six feet under now

Primal rage arises from the grave
Ancient haunting from the past

It used to spread the mayhem
It caused a world of pain
In the old days, Deathspread
The demon in the brain

Zombie termination
Carnivore destruction

When the dead start to scream
Again it's time to kill the beast

Put the body back underground
Bury it deeper, deeper down
If the undead rises yet
It's time to kill, kill again


4) Fires Disappear
4:38, lyrics:
Souls get lost in these dark times
Stumbling blind and far from home
Coldness taking over
Lonely fires disappearing in the wind

With no connection to the others
That can't go on
They fall asleep, they forget

Clouded minds
Blind states
Empty eyes
Scourged souls

They march in line
Believe the lies
Left alone
They give up on the fight

Revive!
Arise!

Bring the light
Find the source
Fight for the truth
Keep your brothers close


5) The Day of the Lord
4:59, lyrics:
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord mighty in battle

Blow the trumpet in Zion
And sound an alarm in my Holy Mountain
Let all the inhabitants of the island tremble
For the Day of the Lord is nigh at hand

A day of darkness and gloom
A day of clouds and of dimming hues
As the morning spreads upon the mountains
A strong army wipes away the land

A fire devoureth before and behind them
Burning everything, nothing shall escape them
They shall run like mighty men
They'll climb the wall like men of war

The earth shall quake before them
The heavens shall tremble
The sun and moon shall be darkened
And the stars shall withdraw their shining

The Lord himself leads the mighty army
That day brings a great fear in the hearts
His troops can't be stopped nor wounded
Who can abide it?

Therefore also now, saith the Lord
turn ye even to me with all your heart
with fasting, with weeping and with mourning
Rend your heart and turn
unto the Lord your God


6) Blood in the Horizon
4:06, lyrics:
I summon the forces
that once were powerful
My call goes out to all of you
who were and who will be
The fight is not over, it's not too late
Te reunite and set this world on fire

We have won great battles together,
we will crus in the wars to come

It is time to make a stand,
it is time to make a difference
We must take our swords,
we must sharpen their blades
The world craves for more,
so let the hunt begin
See you at the battlefield,
spread the word, my friends

I see blood in the horizon
But the path we chose, goes beyond
I see us all together
In the day of victory

Not one shall be left alone
Together we shall rise


7) Outcast
3:50, lyrics:
I hide in the darkest corners
of the earth
And yet you find me
I hurt myself and suffer alone
And yet you won't let me be
I cut the ties and leave the body
And yet you pull me back
I curse your name, manifest my hate
And still you love me

You are jealous of me
- An incomplete man
with nothing to offer
I can't understand
Your divine will

You made a sacrifice
that I can not repay
By blood You washed me clean
- For You I live today


8) Infected
4:12, lyrics:
The poison poured into a jar of clay
Black venom injected into the soul
The soul slowly rotting, slowly fading away

The injection spreads like wildfire
Blurring the eyes once filled with hope
The soul slowly rotting, slowly fading away

The pain increases,
dims the line between earth and air
The will to live, a distant memory now
Infestation reaching
to the center of the soul
Great desire for an intervention

Purification by fire
Purification by breaking the vessel
Let the venom bleed out
Fill the emptiness with ancient blood

Tested with fire, marked with the spirit
Reassembled from pieces, lifted from Hell


9) The Prophets of the New World
2:19, lyrics:
The prophets of the new world
Declare war, death, destruction
The prophets of the new world
Rule with fear and hate

The prophets of the new world
Deceived and lost in their own lies
The prophets of the new world
No hope in their eyes

Answer me, O Lord, answer me,
So these people will know you are God

Set this place on fire, burn our sacrifice
Burn the stones and the soil
Reveal yourself!

Reveal the freedom
We have in you
Reveal your power
Reveal your love


10) Malicious
3:18, lyrics:
The road of madness, path of the insane
This sound drives us into inner chaos

Twisted mindsets, tempting shortcuts
Hidden lies, intolerant acceptance, fouled hearts

Confusion, disguise, multidimensional truths
personalized morals, perversion wrapped in gold

Hatred and spite is what they have to offer

Sickening ways of life, they try to blind our eyes
I refuse to believe, this illusion is a lie

We are not accepted, still we shall bow down
We are not tolerated, still we stand strong

Christ is the only reason, Christ is the only truth
Christ the only way, the life


11) Through Wastelands
6:56, lyrics:
If you would be the last to proclaim His holiness
Be brave, He is with you
When you are abandoned in a distant land
Be brave, He is with you

When you feel ashamed, humiliated, despised
Be brave, He is with you
When the sorrow and pain grow inside you
Be brave, He is with you

A thousand shall fall at thy side
And ten thousand at thy right hand
But it shall not come nigh thee

You are armed with His power,
He gives you the Shield of Faith
May the Sword of the Spirit,
lead you in the evil days

When the world around you turns black
Be brave, He is with you
When you take your last breath
Be brave, He is with you

One day there shall be no more death
Behold, God amongst men

IncompletePage, CouldUseBetterImages, UncertainInfo
INFO:
1) The lyrics to "Volatile Times". 2) An interview lists another musician for "Time to Kill the Beast" -- Rolf Pilve, who would have played drums. Did Rolf end up playing on the album? Did they really have two drummers?? 3) Is the format info for each release correct? Are the first versions of the EPs CDs and not CD-Rs? Are the ones not labeled "limited editions" limited at all? etc. 4) Clearly "we will crus" in the lyrics, is a typo. What is the word "crus" supposed to be?
IMAGES:
Both versions of "Volatile Times" could use higher-quality, higher-res versions. ALSO, LOOK CLOSELY. It looks like the colors have just been inverted, but there are actually subtle differences between the two versions, so keep that in mind!
