1.	Dead Winter Sun 05:35	lyrics	buy track
Free us from the dead of winter Where the darkness consumes us Hear our call Silence has fallen upon us again Bleeding for our mistakes in life There is no one to wake us from our weary minds Never again will we see the light Never again will we see the light Waiting for a sign from above Hear our call Hear our call How can we change tomorrow When we live in chaos today? Fighting the hold you have on me Dreaming in black and white I’m screaming in silence Holding onto the hope That you have taken away How can we live tomorrow When we’re dead inside today? Masking the pain we carry inside Searching within myself My weaknesses show through God, lift this burden that crushes me Daylight calling – night has fallen Lying under another dead winter sun Emotions faded – inhibitions jaded Dawn is rising now, bringing new life A new dawn is here again Winter has faded, tragedy has come to an end A new dawn is here again Winter has faded, tragedy has come to an end Until we die again one more year A new dawn is here again Tragedy has come to an end How can we change tomorrow When we live in chaos today? Fighting the hold you have on me How can we live tomorrow When we’re dead inside today? Masking the pain we carry inside Daylight calling – night has fallen Lying under another dead winter sun Emotions faded – inhibitions jaded Dawn is rising now, bringing new life Dreaming in black and white I’m screaming in silence Holding onto the hope That you have taken away
2.	When Hope Dies 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Desensitized to the cries There was a time when I could feel emotion Media lies paralyze Bring me absolution or let me drown in sin Fragmented lives, weary minds Now I know I'm still alive The media has raped me of my sanity Invading another once innocent mind Instilling fear so deep inside of me In a room without a view – six feet underground Arrows lie deep inside Rip the faith from my heart – so torn apart Innocence left behind But we need the truth, open our eyes to our youth Purge my mind, leave me blind I cannot watch as the world falls My only memory beyond these four walls Is there hope for the future of man? Mother Earth weeps for her land And I fear everything but believe in nothing Tempting lies, forsaken cries Break me free from my own demise And all will be for nothing… When hope dies Scared from the sorrows I have seen Burned into my memory Backing so far away From the window to the world of disarray Dying once again today The world is not our own but all we’ve known Instilling fear deep inside Purge me of what I refuse to be Is there anything left for me to believe?
3.	Last Goodbye 04:40	lyrics	buy track
I still dream of you I can still hear you whisper when I am alone Somehow I know you’re always there…with me Some day I will see you again and look you in the eye (another day) If I could see your face one more time There is nothing I wouldn’t do or leave behind If I could hear your voice again There’s so much I still need to say How many times do I have to say goodbye? So much left undone, so much left behind How many times do I have to cry? And if I would have known That mourning would never come again Please speak to me when I’m all alone Why do we look to another day for dreams to come true? Why do we let today pass us by again? How many times do I have to say goodbye? So much left undone, so much left behind How many times do I have to cry? And if I would have known That mourning would never come again The sun will rise tomorrow Mourning will fade The day will come where we will meet again… Until then, this is our last goodbye Did I make you proud of me? Am I everything you hoped I would be? Somehow I think I know the answer I’ll see you when I sleep

New lessons learned in seasons of disbelief Such a travesty Another sheep in wolves’ clothing Sent to deceive New lessons learned in a season of disbelief Bound to a fate destined at an early age Release me from the hate that has been burning inside Take me far away from where you will cast the last stone Re-write the rules, take away all our hope With our hands bound you cast the last stone In a forest of fallen trees we wander Feeding the masses what we must believe…redone You can’t begin to see what this has done to me All that remains are memories of what used to be Re-write the rules, take away all our hope With our hands bound you cast the last stone We numb the pain as we fade from the light Surrendering we fall with no will to fight Return to zero, bleed the hero…why? Stand and watch as they cast the first stone Who will win when everything is nothing? Stand alone and cast the second stone Judgment day has come and gone, now who will win? Stand and watch as they cast the third stone When all is lost will fade into oblivion…again Stand alone, watch them cast the last stone New lessons learned – another season of disbelief How can we live in a forest of fallen trees? Deceived? Re-write the rules, take away all our hope With our hands bound you cast the last stone New lessons learned in a season of disbelief Bound to your fate destined at an early age Release me from the hate that has been burning inside Take me far away from where you will cast the last stone Re-write the rules, take away all our hope With our hands bound you cast the last stone We numb the pain as we fade from the light Surrendering we fall with no will to fight Cast the last stone Cast the last stone

6.	Spiritual Warfare 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Life from a still frame unfolding All the truth and the lies Threading the needle, weaving our web Shut the window to the world You’re just a pawn on the chess board of life Another world gone by Your fate lies inside your soul But you can make the change Autumn sky falling inside these walls Shroud me from myself We cry for the sun to fall on this winter Now we slumber in silence You’re just a pawn on the chess board of life Another world gone by Your fate lies inside your soul But you can make the change Know your enemy – He who cries is still human On this bleak April morning Know your enemy – He who bleeds is still alive Desert sand turned to lust Know your enemy – He who cries is still human Can we start the war over? Spiritual warfare Have you nothing to cry for? Will you win at the eleventh hour? “Why do you fight for me? Why would you die for me? I am not worthy of your sacrifice” (In this time of judgment) (Why have you come to claim my crown?) (To save the helpless and all that are lost) Have you nothing to cry for? Will you win at the eleventh hour? Have you no one to live for? Will you win when your time has come? Spiritual warfare You’re just a pawn on the chess board of life Another world gone by Your fate lies inside your soul But you can make the change Know your enemy – On this bleak April morning Know your enemy – Desert sand turned to lust Know your enemy – Can we start the war over? Spiritual warfare Spiritual warfare Spiritual warfare
7.	Hollow Soul 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Save me from a world of hopeless existence Consumed by apathy and pain I tried to free myself From a world I no longer know Ante up, time to cash out No more luck, another blackout Address unknown, addicted so alone Save me from myself The future ends today Will this be the death of me? Wasting away in misery In my self-induced insanity I cannot bear this one more day Holding onto what is slipping away With all my will hear me today I cannot suffer anymore Make me whole again Release me from the prison that I did create My hollow soul was filled today And I won’t suffer anymore Now I am whole again Ante up, time to cash out No more luck, another blackout Address unknown, addicted so alone Save me from myself The future ends today Will this be the death of me? Wasting away in misery In my self-induced insanity I cannot bear this one more day Save me from a world of hopeless existence Consumed by apathy and pain I tried to free myself From a world I no longer know
8.	Echoes Of The Lost 04:44	lyrics	buy track
Take me into another daydream In a world away from reality Haunted by the tears of mankind Echoes of the lost cloud my mind Let the weight fuel your strength For what lies inside Under stormy skies Alone and naked in the rain Under an emerald sun We watch our fate unfold today A world of despair, when hope is now gone Let the sky burn a blue infinity For all the echoes of the lost souls The dawning of a new serenity Is this all they have left? A prisoner of mediocrity A world of despair, when hope is now gone Let the sky burn a blue infinity For all the echoes of the lost souls The dawning of a new serenity In darkness we carry the light We guide the way for the blind to see again Let the weight fuel your strength Beyond your conquered past And take control again Let your will carry you forth Beyond the illusion of your own control A world of despair, when hope is now gone Let the sky burn a blue infinity For all the echoes of the lost souls The dawning of a new serenity Under stormy skies Alone and naked in the rain Under an emerald sun We watch our fate unfold today The tears are washed away
9.	In A Cold World 03:56	lyrics	buy track
“The Jews had to wait their turn for a day, 2 days, 3 days. They foresaw what was coming. They foresaw it. They may not have been certain, but they knew. There were Jewish women who slashed their daughters’ wrists at night. Then they cut their own. Others poisoned themselves.” Hear me in your silence Haunting your conscience Clinging onto life As you push and twist the knife Exploit me for your own gain As you inflict more pain Let’s end this misery Before we become a memory You turn the other way So you cannot hear me scream All alone to die with no one by my side You leave me… All alone inside, clinging onto life Nothing more in sight, fading from the light All alone inside, clinging onto life Nothing more in sight, fading from the light Naked in a cold world Naked in a cold world Turn the tables – imitate me now Still I bleed the wounds inflicted upon me We fight for the day when we will no longer be enslaved No one gave you absolute control I feel the same pain as you I have a soul and a heart that bleeds red But still you leave me all alone Naked in a cold world So cold… If you would struggle to gasp for breath I would be there to help you try to survive Once we believed one day we would be free We’re holding onto our hope, but still we can dream So cold… Why would you put the truth behind you, then admit to what you refuse to see? We still believe one day we will be free
10.	Tears 02:50 video	lyrics	buy track
I watched the sunset for the last time today As you grow, your memories of me will begin to fade And I have become such a part of you Remember this today And I hope that you can hear what I’m trying to say Do you remember a time when the wars were silenced? Do you remember when tears turned to laughter once and for all? I have come to you today Now I live in a place where hope will never fade Where only tears of serenity remain And I watched you pray every night for all the sorrow to fade And I heard you call for me to return again Do you remember when we walked on elevated ground? Do you remember watching the world from miles away? There is nothing that can describe what I see before my very eyes So I say unto you… Finish what you still have left to do Until then, I will be waiting for you… “You?”

about

Originally founded in 1998, US Metal band BORN OF FIRE first made their mark with their self titled demo, released a year after their forming. They quickly became known for their signature style that fused elements of Metal greats with a sophisticated sound all their own, and went on to release "Transformation" in 2000, followed by a 3 track EP in 2001 that saw major recognition in international metal charts. The band took a hiatus for 10 years, only to come back strong following a reforming and rebirth in 2012 when they released their "Anthology" album, supported by big-budget music video for their popular track "In The End". The now-veterans of metal, along with Pure Steel Records have announced the release of their latest and greatest: "Dead Winter Sun", BORN OF FIRE's second full-studio album.

After the CD release in November follows the album "Dead Winter Sun" in a limited edition of 200 copies on vinyl.

"Dead Winter Sun" showcases the Arizona-based quintet's wholly unique style of power metal in 10 powerful tracks. BORN OF FIRE's musical spectrum reaches from progressive influenced parts like (newer) Fates Warning and Rainbow-styled keyboard-parts to hymnic guitar leads and thundering double bass parts. The dominating, soaring vocals of newcomer Gordon Tittsworth come full of substance and emotion, and the range that "Dead Winter Sun" showcases waxes and wanes between driving, murderous intensity and ominous calm, fitting perfectly into BORN OF FIRE's brand of truly atmospheric metal that you can lose yourself in.

BORN OF FIRE has returned with sophisticated, exquisite Metal, stronger than ever before.

Fans of Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Fates Warning, Crimson Glory, and similar styled metal will find familiar, nostalgic elements interlaced with BORN OF FIRE's refreshingly unique and modern sound.
