Enemy, Enemy
Golden is the night time, catcher in the rye, the beauty of the owl, trees falling to the sky-Look up to the spire well, the flight of the sun, in the emerald flames I see treason in your eyes
Born onto the night, and dangerous, nothing important to see here, shed through light, the fallen rites, Thunder striking the enemy above and within- The were driven out and banished, traps were laid in the house of the unholy ones, owning the night, the predators, the day when the hunter became the prey of night
They were told to play a game, they were always out to blame, they were screaming out enemy, enemy, They were told what to say, they were planted to betray, they were screaming at the enemy, enemy of war
Raise a glass, here’s a shot to Lady Liberty, to the fog of war approaching, slay not your brother, Lady Justice wrap your arms around her tight, they were born to jump, driven into battle, slaughtered, and the vultures circled round and round, sweet kiss from Lady Liberty, Mother Earth become the womb again!
Some were told to play a game, some were never out to blame, some were screaming out enemy, enemy, there were bodies on the trail they were calling to be saved, they were screaming out enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy
Save your prayers for another day, the bedevilled ones came overturning the faith, they would laugh when they took the bait, turned their backs on an oath they swore they’d never betray, no!
They were never going away, they were driving you insane, they were calling out enemy, enemy, there were bodies on the trail they were screaming to be saved, they were planted there, enemy, enemy

Listen Lucius
(Music & Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
I’ve seen what you hide in the closet, a grand extermination plan, lined up all your skeleton clowns, waiting for the lightning war, the war
Stand up, watch the fires rise straight out of the ashes, cast out to the other side, returning now as One
Sad it’s true but dreams live on, I know what you’re fighting for, in the midst of censorship, to watch you come and watch you go, when you’re gone
Rise up for the last tide, now it’s time for the storm, ride across a place of skulls, the deceiver hides under stones
Step into the line of fire, over the Rainbow, expect no reprisal when the body count climbs, step into the trenches, over the bodies, only guerrilla tactics will save you now
I know what you’re fighting for, there is nothing left to fear, ride across a lake of fire, despite animosity on all fronts, the war crimes, the unwholesome scars, invader at the gates, eyes burning with purple flames, should we let them in?
Stockpiled weapons, ammunitions, suffer unto lesser foes, now the world’s inside a flask and mankind cannot be controlled, encircled by your fortress walls with no place left for you to lurk, a wolf inside a trap was led, a victim of its own downfall, down it goes

Overdue
(Music & Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
I know that you’re watching, pyramid eye in the sky, that glare could turn you into sand, lost in the pages of time, and Paradise losing a foothold, it’s crashing down to crumble, for everyone who stood their ground only ashes to reign on
I know, what you want, one more knife in our backs, linger on, through the storm, straight into a cloud
Watch father time fend the days with his scythe, revenge is already in sight, lost in a daze I tried to play all your games, there was nothing to gain though I’ve tried
Standing proud, in the darkness, something wicked this way comes, armed with the scythe of approaching visions, still raising the sands of time, like a burning veil, lift the scales from my eyes, etch this on my grave, dragon scales, emerald flames, never died
You know that you’re looking at the final hour of demise, blood cults and 13 ancient lines snuffed out in time, and Paradise waits for no one, who treads beyond the Light Shine, seven signs, seven suns under the Dog Star
I know what you want, one more knife in our backs, linger on through the storm, straight into a cloud
Watch father time fend the years with his scythe, revenge has been long overdue, lost in a daze I tried to play all your games, there was nothing to gain now I’m through
Moving portals over the timeline, casting shadows over clouds, Archangel Michael rises up again, to surface over a red horizon, like a gem engraved and glowing ever brighter, I saw through ancient springs filled with Sylphs and Nymphs and Centaurs, erasing the errors over the timeline, saw the future of mankind, string of lies, emerald skies will never die
Watch father time fend the days with his scythe, revenge is already in sight, lost in a daze I tried to play all your games, there was nothing to gain though I’ve tried
Watch father time fend the years with his scythe, revenge has been long overdue, lost in a daze I tried to play all your games, there was nothing to gain now I’m through

Born of the Sephirot
(Music: Maurizio Giacchi, Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
Infiltrator, a demon sprung a treacherous vine, way too close for freedom, a crack inside the hourglass, the sands of time wait for me to start another war, to the overlords these warnings heed, there are seven sphinxes standing tall and dragons to ward you off
And it seems, still grappling the Tree of Life, reaching for the waters of rebirth
Eden recaptured, we are born again, the Adamite has risen from another shallow grave, the dragon speaks in 7 tongues and each has been cut off to bleed, return to the Abode where the Cherub stands with flashing sword
Left to bleed and left to burn in a sea of deceit, straddling the 7 keys that open the abyss, they fall from your hands and still you cling to the Spheres of existence as you wait enchained for the Golden Dawn
And it seems, still clutching the Tree of life, all alone, caught in a landfall
Eden is regained, we’ve washed away the stain, battled down the stronghold of a luciferian reign, to stand at the entrance of the Heavenly Gates, with 12 Lion heads, call him Metatron, and a serpent hanging down by the ropes of fate, cast downwards
And it seems, still clutching the Tree of Life, all alone, caught in a landslide
Eden is regained, we’ve washed away the pain, the Adamite has risen from another shallow grave, building a Merkabah and piercing dimensions, we are the Giants that are born of the Sephirot, we are born of the Sephirot, that are born of the Sephiroth, we are born of the Sephirot

Where Did You Bury The Bodies
(Music & Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
Bring back life to these darkest days, you won’t have to repent ever again, their fate sealed now, inside a magic scroll that reveals the truth, all your flaws now unfold as you stand on the threshold, wear that crown you don’t deserve, God grant me an angel
Where did you bury the bodies, down by the tree on a river bank, where did you hide all the bodies, out where the desert winds don’t blow, where did you bury the sign, trespassers will not be warned twice, I know where you buried the children, you know this is your last chance
One more time, tell me one more time, one last time
Where did you bury the bodies, down by the tree on a river bank, where did you hide all the bodies, out where the desert winds don’t blow, where did you bury the sign, trespassers will not be warned twice, I know where you buried the children, you know this is your last chance
Followed the rabbit down the hole, to the yellow brick road paved with gold, dark to light through spiritual war, your reflection failed to show, time has stopped, become void, all the terror that you’ve learned, only future now exists as you contemplate Har Megiddo
Where did you bury the bodies, down by the tree on a river bank, where did you hide all the bodies, out where the desert winds don’t blow, where did you bury the sign, trespassers will not be warned twice, I know where you buried the children, you know this is your last chance
One more time, one last chance, tell me one last time

Beacon
(Music & Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
When it seems there’s nothing left to pray for, And all you’d ever hoped for or wanted to achieve is spiralling down into the void, to penetrate the secret is the only thing to do
Because we’re drowning in blood, and clutching at straws while reaching for a piece of the truth, we’re gonna set the world on fire and the light of the beacon will guide us through
Taken through the 7 spheres to redeem your fears, in spite of all the misdemeanours of an unlearnt race called Man, to the edge of no tomorrow where a cold wind blows, to fuel the fire of generations who’ve returned to take control
Of Mother Earth, with severing thorns, clutching the Promethean sword, we’re gonna set the word in stone, and shine the light of the beacon onto other worlds
Reached for the summit of Olympus, came back down to tell the fools, reached for the omens from Shamballa, 72 masters with the magic power, received the signal with astral sight, conversing with the lords of Aghartha, now the time has come, glittering horns of Amon Ra, now the dawn has come, glittering horns of Amon Ra, now the dawn has come, god-eyes in the dark
Then a crack appears in the capstone, all mankind watching meteors ride the tail of the comet Wormwood rolling up the sky, to the edge of no tomorrow where a cold wind hides
Drowning in blood, and clutching at straws, with severing thorns in the womb, we’re gonna set the world on fire and shine that light, drop that line, shine that light into your tomb

Guernica
(Music: Maurizio Giacchi, Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
Death to oppression, even the score, the Emperor’s Tarot
has been drawn, don’t need Heaven or a magic scroll, dragon
crystals or the Enochian sword, centuries gone, nevermore,
and it’s all been Foretold Humanity’s reason to settle the
score, the 7 sins have been brought to my attention,
this is war, a personal vendetta that speaks for many more,
the Media eyes and their whores, left to burn like an ebola
spore, in the midst of the Sun, a manufactured lie
Run towards the future, slay the past, and back to the
Present for another chance, chasing down the demon
self eliminate the rust, never look down into the dark
Don’t look down for endless rest, the ghostly veil of my
shadow self, give me Heaven or give me hell, the days
of conspiracy have marked their end, Reptilian eyes,
behind the glow, it’s all been seen before
On towards the Twilight, rest your soul, spokesperson
for another Earth, chasing down the demon hordes run
until dawn, and give a new world a new hope, listen to
the war chants, genocidal blood, never look down into
the bones, run towards the future, shadows fall,
Hammer of the gods all you devils be gone
After all has been erased, stand alone on a foothold,
wasted lore, desolation wars, the spirits now return
to this world
Run towards the future, slay the past, and back to the
present for another chance, chasing down the demon
self eliminate the rust, never look down into the darkness
On towards the Twilight, rest your soul, spokesperson for
another Earth, chasing down the demon hordes run until
dawn, and give a new world a new hope, listen to the war
chants, genocidal blood, never look down into the bones,
run towards the future, shadows fall, Hammer of the
gods all you devils be gone

Black
(Music: Maurizio Giacchi, Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
Know, we’ve watched you when you crawled, and evolved into dissolution, a warning, eyes that never see, nor believe, not entirely human
Faceless, dust into the moonlight, senseless and never truly free, nameless, thrust into the moonlight, star wise, headed for the Portal
You have been imprisoned in the Black Sun, with no reprieve, taken to the Deep Star 666, the hexagram on Saturn bleeds out of control, we’re bringing them home, our legions of hell and steel, saying goodbye in a blue flame, saying goodbye in so many ways, the sky will fall and no one noticed, we heard the last lament
Saw the waves rising above, another sunset and another dawn, saw the true light from below, nothing to show, and so we move on
You had all been taken to the Dark Star, with less than nothing, now the bells of freedom ring for thee, the signal from the Saturn Eye is fading out, watching the skies engulfed in a million fires, saying goodbye for the last time, saying goodbye after so many died, spoke the truth and no one witnessed, watched the light grow bright
Saw the truth shining below, another martyr and another foe, vile descent into underworlds, so many souls that will never reach home
Saw the waves rising above, another sunset and another dawn, saw the true light from below, nothing to show, and so we move on
Saw the truth shining below, another martyr and another foe, vile descent into underworlds, so many souls that will never reach home

Walking With Gnomes
(Music: Lucio Mancini, Lyrics: Andy Giardina)
Walking in the ocean, walking in the stream,
guess what I saw in the middle of my dreams
I watched you, I watched you, I saw what you
did, walking in the middle of a forest, talking
to the trees,
walking in the middle of the woods, holding
hands with the little gnomes of the villages,
they will always hold your hands, they will
always walk by your side, they will always
talk with you, they will always be with you again
One day someone hides away, in the middle of
the woods there’s a stone that speaks words, in the
middle of the Path, where there’s three trees, and
the gnomes, there’s trees that speak to you
Walking in the forest, there’s a path that leads to
the truth
Walking in the forest there’s a path that leads to you
