Track 1 - Ghosts

  Ghosts by Koshiro

GHOSTS

An undead army coming up from the pit
We’re carrying this burden and we’re making it stick
This is the moment, don’t you know this is it
This is the moment, don’t you know this is it
(x2)

Wolf of the night, from the outside looking in
A sacrifice to the Gods, but not to him
Generations of old, a fortress made of sand
Voices so cold, fate lying in your hands
Grip around your throat, choked and put in the ground
An unmarked grave, so you’ll never be found
Burn all who survive, upon the cursed hill
The ghosts that we know, come at us ready to kill

Somebody else who wants a part of me
Not really sure what kind of man to be
Somebody else, their hands are far from clean
The ghosts whose souls that only we can free

Barricade yourself inside, make sure you’re hard to find
So I won’t lose the last left of my mind
Come along for the ride, bring nothing but your pride
But you should leave your fears behind

An undead army coming up from the pit
We’re carrying this burden and we’re making it stick
This is the moment, don’t you know this is it
This is the moment, don’t you know this is it
(x2)

Faster now, into oblivion
Don’t relent, from oncoming millions
Daylight comes, it will come and go
Another life lost, another scar to show
His legacy breaks, torn down before our eyes
Our muscles may ache, but we won’t give up to die
Faster now, we march into the depths
I’ll remember your scent when I’m the only one left

Somebody else who wants a part of me
Not really sure what kind of man to be
Somebody else, their hands are far from clean
The ghosts whose souls that only we can free

Barricade yourself inside, make sure you’re hard to find
So I won’t lose the last left of my mind
Come along for the ride, bring nothing but your pride
But you should leave your fears behind

Somebody else who wants a part of me
Not really sure what kind of man to be
Somebody else, their hands are far from clean
The ghosts whose souls that only we can free

When the last of the fires have been burned out
We’re gunna run, run, run, run from this town
(x4)

Somebody else who wants a part of me
Not really sure what kind of man to be
Somebody else, their hands are far from clean
The ghosts whose souls that only we can free

Somebody else who wants a part of me
Somebody else who wants a part of me

Track 2 - Dread
  Dread by Koshiro

DREAD

Fester and scab over
Scars stay forever after
Abandoned by the owner
Mourned by none, the loner

Skinned alive and left there
Broken bones and pulled hair
Left to die, don’t you care?
Left to die, just left there

I’ll anticipate your every move
The blade will cut, to me it soothes
I’ll anticipate all of the things you do
The blade will cut, to me it soothes

Escape me, now or never
Escape me, for here I am
Escape me, or lie here forever
You’re not getting another chance

I need some self control
Before I look into your soul
Somebody’s gunna have to clean this up

The feeling in your gut
It wrenches all too much
The dread of seeing you here
The dread of my touch

I’ll anticipate your every move
The blade will cut, to me it soothes
I’ll anticipate all of the things you do
The blade will cut, to me it soothes

Escape me, now or never
Escape me, for here I am
Escape me, or lie here forever
You’re not getting another chance
(x3)

Track 3 - Greater the Void

  Greater the Void by Koshiro

GREATER THE VOID

Take away my purpose
And where does that leave me?
Vendettas cold and useless
The dead roots of a tree

A thousand charted legends
The best within the sea
The stone that you were made with
I’ve seen it in my dreams

Pull me under
Or pull me up before I drown
Take me under
Or take me down, down, down

Wake me up before I fall in the sky
Wake me up before this all explodes

At the edge of the earth, I will hide
Waiting for you, ready to strike
At the edge of the earth, I will hide
Waiting for you, ready to strike

We’ve all heard the rumours
We’ve heard the sirens song
You can’t be killed by my hand
Well I’m gunna prove it wrong

Dazzle me with your virtue
And I will cut you down
Spill all your blood and kill you
Let me show you how

Pull me under
Or pull me up before I drown
Take me under
Or take me down, down, down

Wake me up before I fall in the sky
Wake me up before this all explodes

At the edge of the earth, I will hide
Waiting for you, ready to strike
At the edge of the earth, I will hide
Waiting for you, ready to strike

Pull me under or take me down, down, down
Pull me under or take me down, down, down
Pull me under or take me down, down, down

Track 4 - Engage the Enemy
 

  Engage the Enemy by Koshiro

ENGAGE THE ENEMY

Somebody’s watching me
Eyes lurking from beneath
A sacred entity
A different kind of energy

Somebody’s watching me
Teeth bared and eyes ablaze
It’s time to take the lead

Engage the enemy
Engage the enemy
The clashing of bone and steel
Engage the enemy

If fortune favours the brave
Then I guess that means there’s no-one left for me to save
Right?

If fortune favours the brave
I guess that fucking means there’s no-one left for me to save

Engage the enemy
Engage the enemy
The clashing of bone and steel
Engage the enemy

Somebody’s watching me
Teeth bared and eyes ablaze

Engage the enemy
Engage the enemy
Engage the enemy
Engage the enemy

Engage (repeat)
