End Of Days 06:00
At first, we never saw the signs Our gaze diverted as the spring was slowly coiled An enemy that bides its time You never feel the heat until you start to boil We searched the farthest skies For proof we weren’t alone But they were hiding in plain sight They watched us spiral down Start to destroy ourselves Divide and they will conquer We’ll die without a fight The sky is burning Lands and cities lay destroyed As mankind’s questions Scream into the silent void We line our coffins As our children we betray We walk as blind as rats into a maze To the end of days We dreamed our fate befit our plans But we were pawns that moved by other hands A game that’s soon to be revealed But will we see the moves before the end is sealed The endgame is declared The pieces are aligned We haven’t long to heed the call To see the master plan The enemy within United we must face them Together stand or fall We had the warnings But we still refused to see Abandoned reason And proclaimed it could not be We sell our futures And descend to selfish ways Revere false idols As all hope decays In the end of days Can we avoid our fate Before it is too late? The sky is burning Lands and cities lay destroyed As mankind’s future Turns and stares into the void We stand upon the brink The final act we play A war to end all wars Our hearts ablaze At the end of days

You brace yourself, once again, to face the new day Your inner voice, screams again, fear anticipates Outside your door, there’s no control, no way to stay safe Society is lost, its broken down, bring on the end of days You know they’re lying Their eyes betray the truth Inside you’re dying Either way you lose Locked in your cell, once again, your mind is haunting you That inner voice, screams no more, now you don’t get to choose Unwanted eyes are watching Turn away to avoid your gaze Helps a long way from coming Singled out you turn to shade We fight, unite, to keep our heads above, above the water We fight, unite, to keep our heads above, above the water

Final Cry 06:39
So is this how the mighty fall Lost your way after a lifetime Worth of disappointments Beaten down and you kept Getting up but continual punishment Grew too much So now see where you are You’ve reached the end, the end of your line The end of your life This is your final cry You have a feeling, discomfort unknown Pressures building into emotional overload Senses screaming, pain sends tears to your eyes Worlds problems weigh heavy but your desensitised So they test you To prove their truth Will you fight what they say Or surrender So they test you To see what you will lose Will you fight what they say Or surrender So they test you To see what you will lose Will you fight what they say Or surrender Enjoying excess, you can never say no Obeying cravings damage is untold Pass the whiskey, same thing everyday Pills you want to help you, but can you turn away Now, this is the end, a foe or a friend Live or die? This is your final cry How will you mend, it cant be the end have to fight, this is your final cry Stare into the mirror, as a stranger reflects Years of self loathing what did you expect Now a glimmer of hope is set to lead you away Listen to my guidance and you’ll live another day Now, this is the end, a foe or a friend Live or die? This is your final cry How will you mend, it cant be the end have to fight, this is your final cry So you lost the feeling, comforts now known Alleviated pressure, no emotional overload So they test you To prove their truth Will you fight what they say Or surrender So they test you To prove their truth Will you fight what they say Or surrender Now, it’s not the end, for I am a friend No more lies, This is the final cry Take my strength, your last line defence This is mine, this is my Final Cry

I Agonise 04:54
Everywhere - Corruption I see the difference in society Degradation, failing to disease Look in the mirror what do you see The creator, a victim or the free I need to know If you have learned, are you all with me ? I need to know If you’ve been turned, is your conscience still free? Everyone, locked in denial Can’t see the truth, I agonise In our world, regions are dying It’s ours to lose, I agonise Is there a land where man can be brothers No division, human rights smothered Those wielding power, pretending to care But self preservation, priorities impair I need to know If you have learned, are you all with me ? I need to know If you’ve been turned, is your conscience still free? All around, locked in denial Hide the truth, I agonise Challenge all, struggle is endless We fight on I agonise I see the difference in society Degradation, failing to disease Those wielding power, pretending to care But self preservation, priorities impair Everyone, locked in denial Can’t see the truth, I agonise In our world, regions are dying It’s ours to lose, I agonise

We hold the question in our hearts Repeat it every day We long to choose our path But often lose our way We yearn for the next dawn Lost in dreaming Forever wait to be reborn It’s why we wake up screaming It’s hard to see the track Tomorrow looks so black We search for reasons why Consult the empty sky Who am I? What am I? Is this the life I’m meant to lead? If I am - why am I? Why do I burn, why do I bleed? No meaning, uncovered Cry out forever We join as one and sing our Songs of a broken future No answers, discovered We stand together Forever bound to sing our Songs of a broken future The world is set afire For selfish dark desire Our time is running short Our final battles fought We struggle, we suffer For grasping hands to take it all Corruption, dishonour Condemned to toil until we fall Unequal, unending This ground we cover Our voices raised aloud in Songs of a broken future This one life, descending We have no other The sand it slips away to Songs of a broken future Who are we? What are we? Is this the life we’re meant to lead? If we are - why are we? Why do we burn, why do we bleed? No meaning, discovered Cry out forever We join as one and sing our Songs of a broken future No answer, uncovered We stand together Forever bound to sing our Songs of a broken future

Welcome to the new world order experience You’re encouraged to stay You’ll be made comfortable and feel like you belong Now you live amongst the prey All types of souls exist here In many guises, just don’t become their new prey They know more than you know They see what you don’t want them to see Breathing life into a capital dream Join with the masters of the social elite Think about reinventing who you are Choose a character to become Enter your life plan Cogent messages Now you’re open to anyone Pursue your online presence See what posts work well Don’t miss a thing in order to be no.1 Will you join me … Join the social elite At the top of the tree Join me Join me

Now you all see as I slowly walk away No cries how fake will make me turn back No time to soften the blow take back the pain Lamentable laughter follows me No time for shame no regrets Laughing all the while The horror when you finally see What’s behind the Jesters smile Now I stand to judge, how does it feel The tables turned upside down on your world I will right the wrongs you did to me and society Oh dear is that fear I see in your eyes No time for shame no regrets Laughing all the while The horror when you finally see What’s behind the Jesters smile No time for shame no regrets Laughing all the while The horror when you finally see What’s behind the Jesters smile I was the one who suffered most of all They say family can be cruel and I know it to be true Why did you treat me this way What caused your desire for my pain Were my imperfections so offensive to you Hate has fuelled my recovery now I seek vengeance Now you know my vengeance, how is it Searing pain, will soon know relief or will it No time for shame no regrets Laughing all the whileThe horror when you finally see What’s behind the Jesters smile

Building yourself a home Building yourself your new life Follow your dreams and the places they All will lead When your are young time is yours to do with what You please Colours change according to What phase of life you’re at Bright and vibrant they lead You to your future plans Embrace all that you have Every day may be your last Look around you, remember to smile That’s the Tragedy The Tragedy of Life Time starts to move on way to soon Time starts to run away from you Now you’re looking back instead of To your future years memories once made you smile Now brings on tears Seasons change but they move On way too fast Accelerate as every year Gets closer to your last I know how your story goes And I see your future history Don't cry over days gone by Precious is what's left of time You know what was meant to be When tears fall for the tragedy
10.
You tread carefully as you navigate to home And walk carefully through the darkness But when it comes to the past Your lose your cautious approach Recklessly stamping across the time lines So you live with all kinds of pain And the mask is mimicking your face Emotions push so close you almost break Now breathe until the memories fade Keep answering intrusive questions Probing on your request Invasive to the upper limits You feel emotions you detest What did you really want to know And what did you really want to see Was it worth all the painful memories Was it worth all your fallen tears Digging up all the past Realising your worst fears for evermore I hold your hand to give you freedom I hold your hand to lead you to the truth Now are you ready to breathe again Open your eyes and see Until the memories fade Till they fade
11.
Horrific scenes all around me Crying victims all surround me Pointing fingers blame another man Falling short as revolution planned Flames light the darkened skies Stand fast, and stand tall A thousand ways to live your life Will you stand or will you Fall Think fast and how you’ll act The mighty front the lethal attack Lead the line with the demon blade Arrows fly free whilst enemies evade I know what you know I see what you see I am the conscience leveling insanity I am the voice screaming As you make them all bleed No defence for your continuing inhumanity Stand. Stand or Fall
12.
We hold the answers in our hands Our future history will count the score We are the ones whom fate demands Must rise above the hate that went before We heed the call We have the chance to change it And end this sorrow We are the children of tomorrow If we can learn the lessons The path to follow We are the children of tomorrow A better world can lie ahead If we can only lose our fearful pride And heed the words the wise ones said That more things join us than they do divide We’re one inside There is no outer limit How far we can grow We are the children of tomorrow No more to sell our future To beg or borrow We are the children of tomorrow The road turns out of sight We stand to face this fight And when we hear the tyrants’ shout Our voice as one must drown them out

about

Intense hail from the UK and released their first EP back in 1997, it’s been nine years since their last release but at long last, the new album is ready to be unleashed on the Metal world.

Vocalist Sean Hetherington and Guitarist Nick Palmer are founding members but the current line up has been together since 2004. The listener might think at first contact that INTENSE would be another one of these countless formations that play in the style of the unbreakable NWOBHM. The blood of SAXON, DEMON and all the legends is of course in their blood, but INTENSE are more influenced by the darker side of power metal like ICED EARTH and NEVERMORE among others.

The fourth work of INTENSE represents a fresh cell treatment for British Heavy Metal, Power Metal with sense and reason which is rock sold on the achievements of its own history.
