You’ve seen me down before You’ve seen me fall Never again will I crawl The day of reckoning has come at last I’m stepping out of my past Oh the time for a change has begun There’s a new day with each rising sun I have been there before Yes, I’ve passed through that door And I’m not going back anymore Those haunting memories locked in my mind Visions I must leave behind Explosive energy melting my brain So much in life to obtain Oh the time for a change has begun There’s a new day with each rising sun I have been there before Yes, I’ve passed through that door And I’m not going back anymore The future is calling my name No longer will things be the same as before I’m searching for more I’m starting all over again I’ll take on the world then begin to move on The old way is gone <lead: Roybal> My life is fast ascending Just watch me grow I vow to fight until the twelfth of never All set to face tomorrow I’m in control I’m going to triumph over each endeavor Oh the time for a change has begun There’s a new day with each rising sun I have been there before Yes, I’ve passed through that door And I’m not going back anymore

Time after time I have seen it before People consumed by the need to get more Why don’t they stop take a look all around When you need justice, there’s none to be found I’m the voice inside your mind Twisted by the sands of time I have been pushed to the edge I’m your pride and I’m your rage Lighting your path of war to engage I’m standing out on a ledge I’ve got the answer; the truth must be told Strike up the chair till the body is cold Then they will learn there’s a price they must pay I’m on a rampage, stay out of my way I’m your greed and I’m your lust Hands of desire seeking your trust Take these thoughts out of my head Feeding the fire of social decay I’m the beast and you are the prey I’ll see this through till the end What are you to do? When all hope has been thrown out You barely can cope You’ve had it to here; it’s the end of your rope Take a look deep inside You know what to do It burns inside of you Let it go <solo: Roybal> <solo: Montoya> Just like a hero who rides away into the sun I have been chosen to reach out and show everyone You’ve got one life to live So make the most of it Take a stand, be all you can Unleash what burns within It’s time, now let’s begin Give all you got, take your best shot When all hope has been thrown out You barely can cope You’ve had it to here; it’s the end of your rope Take a look deep inside You know what to do It burns inside of you Let it go <outro solo: Montoya>

<solo: Montoya> Blazing a path of destruction on everything under the sun Slashing and tearing without even caring The damage has only begun Who is this master of metal who came here from so far away? With mace in his hand he is roaming the land in search of adventure and prey Just a man out on his own, he faces a world so unknown Just a man, he’ll fight to the end His blade is his only true friend Wielding a sword with conviction, taking whatever he can Savage, yet wise, so much hate in his eyes They call him a barbarian Striking without any warning, what drives this army of one? Ready to pillage each oncoming village, he makes all his enemies run Just a man out on his own, he faces a world so unknown Just a man, he’ll fight to the end His blade is his only true friend <solo: Montoya> <solo: Roybal> All through the land it is spoken of he who will come to this place He’ll steal all your gold and spit on your soul And leave with a grin on his face Just when you thought it was over, you look back and see him again The tension is rising, you start realizing How terribly wrong you have been Heart made of stone, fierce to the bone An awesome display to behold Sent by the gods, defying the odds Time after time as foretold Violence and pain, all done in vain He lives everyday without fear Mighty and large, ready to charge A legend for all to revere Just a man out on his own, he faces a world so unknown Just a man, he’ll fight to the end His blade is his only true friend

I. The Seeker Nights of danger There’s a nasty stranger causing such dismay Tension mounting All this body counting as he stalks for prey Vicious killing So much blood is spilling, he won’t get away He’s out there, so beware He leaves a trail of sadness So gory this story We need to stop this madness I’ve been waiting Just anticipating for this day to come Always searching On the streets he’s lurking tell me where is he from? I am ready And my hand is steady as I aim my gun It’s over, you’re cornered There’s no place left to run I’ve got you, now you’re through Your spree of crime is done <solo: Roybal> II. The Killer Lock your doors and seal your windows I’m the talk all over town All alone, I know you fear me Here I come to take you down Late at night, that’s when I’m watching you Looking for my chance to strike I will make you scream in terror You will learn what hell is like What can be this morbid reason for the way I make you cry? Something’s wrong; tormented anger Why do I laugh as you die?

Do Or Die 07:06
It’s good to see you my old friend You need to face me every now and then I’m here to test you once again Don’t let me down or you will face the end I feel this strain upon me I’m pushing overload I conquer all that I see Stand back, watch me explode Since I was very young, I needed to be bold I never listened to the warnings I was told So fascinated by the things that made me scream I would pursue a life so many call extreme I see you watching from the corner of my eye Are you here to take my soul, is this my time to die Or could it be you’re out to get another thrill Either way I laugh at you and how you like to kill Stay away, I’m not ready to go Not today, why don’t you leave me alone Do or die, adventure I seek high and low Don’t ask why, my fate shall remain all my own <solo: Roybal> To myself I’ll be true I won’t stop living fast There’s nothing that I won’t do Each day could be my last Stay away, I’m not ready to go Not today, why don’t you leave me alone Do or die, adventure I seek high and low Don’t ask why, my fate shall remain all my own

Far Away 06:50
Gone far away This journey we started together has now gone astray How could this be? What meant nothing to you was priceless to me Shocked by the words she told me, now I’m on my own Standing at the doorstep of our lives I thought we had it made, I guess I should have known Sifting through the memories and lies What’s going on? Where has she gone? I must be strong This feels so wrong My mind is racing down the road of great despair I’ve got to put this in the past Sometimes we play the game although it isn’t fair We hope that we can make it last What’s going on? Where has she gone? I must be strong This feels so wrong <solo: Roybal> Open your eyes, look all around then you will see Not all is lost this ain’t the way it’s meant to be We take a chance, we know the cost, we’re not to blame Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, oh what a shame You know that I would wait forever I don’t want to walk this path alone Look upon a new horizon Follow every sign that you’ve been shown What’s going on? Where has she gone? I must be strong This feels so wrong

Across the desert sands Through many foreign lands And to the end, your obsession A train run off it’s track You’ve been to hell and back Driven by demons, your possession No lines are drawn where boundaries end Forbidden roads become the tracks left behind A slave to the choice you make This fate from which you can’t escape Breaking the dawn another day To chase the dragons to the end The hands of time now rust away And by their mark you won’t depend Live by the path you set Time won’t forget the scars that you incurred You lived the life of twenty men To chase the dragon down Forewarnings you deride The drive it won’t subside Glory nor wealth you require And all the doors passed through The albatross pursues Forgotten dreams, your desire No lines are drawn where boundaries end Forbidden roads become the tracks left behind A slave to the choice you make This fate from which you can’t escape Breaking the dawn another day To chase the dragons to the end The hands of time now rust away And by their mark you won’t depend Live by the path you set Time won’t forget the scars that you incurred You lived the life of twenty men To chase the dragon down <solo: Roybal> <solo: Montoya>

We are children of the night Don’t they know this isn’t right? Will we ever meet our destiny? Hide in shadows to survive Trying hard to stay alive Looking back at how it used to be And oh, where do we go We need to show that we are innocent And why so many die We’ve got to try to end all this torment We have waited for so long In a world that has gone wrong Shattered dreams, but still we must be brave Everywhere so much is lost As we face this holocaust Are we headed for an early grave? Who? Who is this man? With such a plan to end humanity Pray. Pray for the day we get away This is insanity <solo: Montoya> The streets are so dangerous Nothing is sure but a knock on the door Here they come It makes me so furious Men made of stone made us orphans alone With no home It’s such an atrocity There’s no denying of what they are trying to do A blizzard of agony, They’re gonna pay for the suffering they put us through The future is bleak when you prey on the weak <solo: Montoya>

These sleepless nights haunt me again Losing my grip and I fall Dreaming awake, adrift in my head Drown in regression recalling it all Retrace the shadows I once ignored Revealed more clearly than before Lucid disguise lost in pretense Deception you played so unbound Absorbed in his pride, the king on his throne Slipping away through the cracks in the ground These bleary memories I leave behind Walking away, I will take what is mine I am unbroken, I will prevail There is no stopping now Running gauges into red Lost horizon up ahead And the sirens song still cries to break you down All the bridges you have burned past the point of no return But the Rubicon you crossed it was yours not my own <solo: Roybal> Half lives we’d lived, two worlds apart Strange highways we ride again Living inside this masquerade Unions contrived are now brought to an end I’m starting over, falling to rise Unweave the truth that was concealed in your lies Into the darkness and through the storm My will remains unturned Running gauges into red Lost horizon up ahead And the sirens song still cries to break you down All the bridges you have burned past the point of no return But the Rubicon you crossed it was yours not my own spoken: And so we reach the end of this chapter The conclusion of this odyssey Starring into the distance; the great unknown Once familiar places, voices and faces fade into the echo The path once united, from here has been divided Rise from the ashes, chart your course And start again <solo: Roybal> <solo: Montoya> Far beneath the cascading sands Legends end as they once began Heal the scars and look to the rising sun And a new beginning unfolds
