In the height of hysteria The Madness begins In Cold War America And the Communist Kremlin It’s an arms race to annihilation With fingers on the button It’s the end of all creation In mutual assured destruction- Missile silos stand ready Deadly cargo in flight Man’s gone insane They call a nuclear strike- Prelude To Madness Prelude To Insanity Can you feel the sadness? The twilight of Humanity Gripped in paranoia The countdown begins The seeds are sown That brings us to the end- Prelude To Madness Prelude To Insanity Prelude To Madness Prelude To Insanity

Indignation 03:40
I see the people, riots in the streets I see them fighting, with the police I see them running, tear gas in their eyes I hear the shouting, and all the cries With their fists in the air Setting fires in the night With the chaos everywhere They’re out there joining in the fight Indignation- They shout for justice, they shout for peace They point their fingers, their leaders… they speak Destroying the places, where we all live Why can’t they rise up, and learn to forgive?

A man and his family Are walking down the street Hand and hand in the bright sunshine When from a car, they open fire In a blaze of treachery With a blast of a double-barreled shotgun Random Acts of Violence- A man who lost everything Went to work one day Armed with an assault rifle And starts killing everyone In a mass shooting spree For the problems, he can’t handle Random Acts of Violence- Random Acts of Violence…. What is wrong with the world? Today’s society…. Where’s our compassion and kindness? Why must we die? At the barrel of a gun…. In an act of Random Violence? Random Acts of Violence-

Sherman Tank 04:53
There we were, in the theatre of war Dying by their command There we were, with our backs to the wall To halt the army’s advance We were made, to crawl in the mud And knew, we hadn’t a chance But who was there, when it all turned around? Who’s the one we should thank? In the theatre of war, dying by their command With our backs to the wall, to halt the army’s advance Made to crawl in the mud, and knew we hadn’t a chance But who turned it around, who’s the one we should thank? The Sherman Tank, The Sherman Tank There we were, in the sweat and the blood In the wind and the sand There we were, in a fight for our lives In a foreign land We were made, to shoot and to kill Till we barely could stand But who was there, when all hope was lost? Who wasn’t part of their plan? In the sweat and the blood, in wind and sand In a fight for our lives, in a foreign land Made to shoot and to kill, till we barely could stand But when all hope was lost, not part of their plan? The Sherman Tank, The Sherman Tank Here comes the Tank- Crashing and tearing, it’s way through the wall The soldiers scatter, they run, or they fall It’s guns blazing fire, a terrible sight A grim display, of its power and might The Sherman Tank, The Sherman Tank

Mastodon 04:20
Back before the dawn of Man Glaciers moved across the land Buried deep within the ice Frozen in the pride of life Let’s bring back the Mastodon It’s been too long since he’s been gone Let’s bring back the Mastodon He was the king of the mighty beast I need to hear his great heartbeat Trapped beneath the Artic snow He will return to regain his throne Let’s bring back the Mastodon It’s been too long since he’s been gone Let’s bring back the Mastodon All will hail, and bow their heads All will hail, the Mastodon All will hail, full of dread As he rises from the dead All will hail, all will hail The Mastodon-

Beyond the stars of heaven Beyond the reach of time Out there in the emptiness The nothingness, you’ll find There in the darkness Where the light don’t shine There in the blackest recesses Into The Grey- Searching for tomorrow Looking for a sign Where’s the path to follow When your eyes are blind When all the words ring hollow And faces seem unkind Caught up in your sorrow Submerged Into The Grey- Trapped in the darkness What will you find? There in the darkness Out into The Grey
7.
He was a man, a Two Fisted Man He gets along best that he can But ‘stead of walking, his fists did the talking Cause he was a Two Fisted Man There was the time, he walked the line Between the hammer and nail Then he was attacked, and he fought back And he spent the next year in jail- He has nothing to say, so get out of his way Some things are better unsaid If you step out of line, then you will find That he will just break your head Cause he’s a Two Fisted, a Two Fisted Man A Two Fisted, a Two Fisted Man He don’t say a word, voice never heard But it doesn’t matter that much With a right and a left, soon you can bet There’s nothing left to discuss Cause he’s a Two Fisted, a Two Fisted Man A Two Fisted, a Two Fisted Man!
8.
Your skies are turning dark From the fires of your disdain Your heart is turning black From the weight and the strain Your mind is overwhelmed By the guilt and the shame But it’s all confusion Buried deep in your brain You’re held by Broken Chains Held by Broken Chains Held by Broken Chains- The cursed, they follow you Like moths to a flame The world is crushing you But you’re the one to blame You feel your life is slowly Slipping down the drain But it’s all illusion Buried deep in your pain These are the memories that bind you These are your chains, your Broken Chains The enemy’s inside you Can you break free? Free of your Broken Chains-

In Memoriam 04:25
It’s time we say goodbye To this long, dark time Say goodbye, to the ones we lost And as we look to our new horizons We won’t forget, we won’t forget the cost In Memoriam In Memoriam
11.
Eternal Sanctuary They give you what you need Until your time has come And they smother it with greed You can hear the church bells ring Holy angelic choirs sing Loudly proclaiming Only they can set you free Heaven awaits Only if you can pay their fee You can hear the church bells ring Holy angelic choirs sing Now your soul will go take wing But does it really mean a thing?

Now a 3 piece power trio, the soaring vocals and straight ahead bass playing of Juan Ricardo (Wretch, Dark Arena, Ritual, Attaxe, Blind Cross, Veith Ricardo Project) is perfectly matched by the virtuoso guitar playing of Ed Miller (Mystik) and the aggressive drumming of Ewell Tyler Martin.
