DARK DAYS, DARK TIMES
Lyrics: Francis
Music: Francis
Modern cities
That once prospered
Now consumed by the corrupt
Ghost towns
Ghost malls
Infrastructure decay
Fleeing the city
Opportunity's scarce
Debt of a nation
Causes economic collapse
People feeling sad
Dreams delayed due to lack of funds
CHORUS
Dark days, dark times
As inflation suddenly spreads
System built to decay
In a planet that
Has enough for all
Economic misery
growing worldwide
Hoping for a better future
A monetary maze
LEAD
CHORUS
Dark days, dark times
As inflation suddenly spreads
System built to decay
In a planet that
Has enough for all
CHORUS
Dark days, dark times
As inflation suddenly spreads
System built to decay
In a planet that
Has enough for all

CREATIONS THAT AFFECT
Lyrics: Francis, Moyses
Music: Francis
Since the beginning
Tools has progressed
From primitive machines
To new technological wonders
Future of utopia or nightmare
People needs stuff
Many things to fight for
But jobs are taken away
Leaving many upset
Competition rises
Less opportunities
How will one be able to compete
With the new reality
CHORUS
Creations that affect
Moments of reflection
Will it benefit mankind
Take some away fom misery
Redirect a way
For a future of prosperity
During the struggle
Creating possibilities
Uncertain financial future
Yet unknown
CHORUS
Creations that affect
LEAD
Realizing
As it happens
Before our eyes
As the years go by people notice
Unemployment increases everywhere
Nations trying to find a solution
For this situation that entrap
As the masses seeks an answer
To avoid being forgotten
To some those machines are so admired
All this makes many wonder
They always try to pressure us with what they have
Yet nothing is certain in this complex life
LEAD
At the end
Results unknown
In this situation
Brought by mankind
Will this automation
Profit humanity?
Something to think about
It is what it is
CHORUS
Creations that affect

WICKED MYSTERIOUS EVENTS
Lyrics: Francis, Moyses
Music: Francis
LEAD
Strange phenomenons
Unusual paranormal beings
Growls echoing from the deep darkness
CHORUS
An event in a worldwide scale
Incredible and insane tales
Some believe and others ridicules
Wicked mysterious events
Strange portals creeping through the skies
Seeing unusual lights in disguise
Moving objects, strange sounds, who knows?
Exorcists fights the unknown
Anointing in the name of Jesus
All entities and dark forces flee in terror
Consequences of these events are
Caused by messing with the paranormal
Paranormal
LEAD
Who are they? Some do know
Creepy beings to those that've seen
What makes us question their credibility?
As many eyewitnesses confirms their existence
Some say "there's got to be a reason"
What kind of explanation is sought
What kind of prank is this?
These debates goes on in various ways
The fact explains these unusual events
These entities are spirits of darkness
CHORUS
An event in a worldwide scale
Incredible and insane tales
Some believe and others ridicules
Wicked mysterious events

THE FALLEN ENTITIES
Lyrics: Francis, Moyses
Music: Francis
Second influx
After the flood
Falling angels returned
Thus a new wave of giant hybrids were created
Horrific creatures
Sinister and strange monsters
CHORUS
Defiled
Corrupting all things in sight
Defiled
Offsprings of the fallen entities
LEAD
Creatures that hated the Almighty
Hybrids of renown
Abominable beings
That were never meant to exist
Scriptures of old mentions
Ancient abnormal mutations
That roamed the earth
A law was broken
In the end the fallen watchers will pay
Havoc against all humanity
Strange history that mystifies
Tribes were formed, cities built
Anger rages upon the earth
Thru the suffering that they caused
Upon the children of mankind
Human tribes destroyed, as they took everything in sight
Fear ruled upon the land
The cries of men reached the Heavens
Asking for revenge
LEAD
Regions that humans could not cross
Out of fear
Man were seen as grasshoppers
Small in stature compared to them
Giant carnivore teeth, spreading terror
After their demise
And perished In times past
Forbidden to enter Heaven
They now roam the earth
In the form of evil spirits
Tormenting the human race
Until the end days
CHORUS
Defiled
Spirits that causes hauntings
Defiled
Demonic possessions of today
Defiled
Causing confusions and discord
Defiled
Defiled

THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES
Lyrics: Francis, Moyses
Music: Francis
Ancient Kingdoms
Fought throughout time
From north to south
From east to west
From land to sea
To conquer or be conquered
Righteous defense or selfish greed
Many conflicts continues till now
CHORUS
Even now in the modern world
Men's greed is still felt throughout the centuries
The rise and fall of empires
Continues on
See them rise from the horizon
In battle mode, some stayed
As others flee in fear
Screams and pain brought forth
Echoing throughout the ages
A list of empires
Each with their own fate
LEAD
Kings and monarchs
Dictated the destiny of the masses
Bringing their vision into fruition
Evidence of ancient ruins documents
In different locations of the world
The power that they once had
Fools that acted upon
To conquer the world
Not realizing it doesn't last
Destroyed by internal causes?
Or by greed?
Decaying civilizations
Never learning from the past
Wars and rumors of wars
Imperfect flesh man, striving for paradise
Against each other due to turmoil
This is happening for centuries
LEAD
They ruled the land with their military might
History repeats itself
Kingdoms rose, while others declined
One thing is certain under the sun
They each have something in common...
They all cease to exist
CHORUS
Even now in this modern world
Men's greed is still felt througout the centuries
The rise and fall of empires
Continues on

TURMOIL UNDER THE SUN
Lyrics: Francis, Moyses
Music: Francis
Billions of human minds
The intellect of each human being
In this planet of
Intelligent life forms
Each with their own minds
To a journey unknown
Some chooses their own path
While others themselves go with the flow
Billions of people
Constantly struggling to survive
Sometimes clashing against each other
Due to a different view from everyone
Some wishes to help
others destroys dreams
To each a different personality
Suddenly spawns from some
CHORUS
Elements
Intellect of the soul
Reflecting from inner being
Expressions
Fierce tense debates
Exchanging ideals
Turmoil under the sun
Constant fights
Create your fate
Every single day
Against the narrative
Personalities
In everyone's minds
You're right, I'm wrong
You're wrong, I'm right
LEAD
Storm
Behind
All
Conflicts
Expressing with ease
Bringing psychological pressure
We are
All energy
Sensing
The others' opposition
Inner pressure
Or respect
Impulsive action
An uncomfortable gut feeling
CHORUS
Elements
Intellect of the soul
Reflecting from inner being
Expressions
Fierce tense debates
Exchanging ideals
Turmoil under the sun
CHORUS
Elements
Intellect of the soul
Reflecting from inner being

IN DANGER
Lyrics: Francis
Music: Francis
Worldwide incident
Nature in sadness
As the earth mourns
From land to sea
People giving many explanations
The planet is in stress
Strange events happening
Around the globe
CHORUS
Many are trying to find out the reason
Who's behind all this
Mystery upon mysteries
Eco system in danger
Earth's warning to avoid future sufferings
Unexplained global events on the rise
The planet is in chaos
CHORUS
Many are trying to find out the reason
Who's behind all this
Mystery upon mysteries
Eco system in danger
Earth's warning to avoid future sufferings
Very unusual
Shocking calamities
Very strange
Bizarre causes
As many of
The world's population
Does not notice
What's going on
Demanding answers
Baffling authorities
Around the globe
Could it be pole shift?
Or radiation? Or lightning strikes?
Or maybe pollution?
Or the signs of the times?
All of this
Is pointing to
A downward spiral
As the event increases from shore to shore
As the world turns into a desert place
Strange extinction occurring
At an alarming rate
Intriguing many
As they realize
How fragile this planet is
Extreme and extensive losses
Trouble in nature
LEAD
As no one knows the real cause
Conjecture stands
No one knows what is going on
CHORUS
Many are trying to find out the reason
Who's behind all this
Mystery upon mysteries
Eco system in danger
Earth's warning to avoid future sufferings

OBSTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR
Lyrics: Francis, Moyses
Music: Francis
Existences that torments constantly
Always brings the suffering
Cold hearted individuals
A harsh fact
Totally doesn't care
Only creates obstacles
Cannot be trusted
Causing people to cry
Always germinating around us
Occurrences are everywhere
Don't matter how hard people try to avoid it
The situation is the same
CHORUS
Causing division and distress
Arrogance is their way
Obstructive behaviour
No sympathy or regard
Oppressing all the good people
Creating chaos where there's peace
Oppression becomes torment and confusion
LEAD
In all walks of life
People will find
Those without reason
Brutal reality
Stares at your face
Do you ever wonder why...
The world is
So cold
Gossip in their thoughts
Never searching for peace
Disrupting reality
The cause of so much
Misunderstanding
Some people are without common sense
With unpleasant ways, they try to get ahead
A constant path that defies
With no consideration to their fellow man
Constant pressure surrounding
Complicated individuals
Without character, crooked path is their game
The situation is insane
CHORUS
They bring suffering
They bring tears
Opposing ways
Is their path
Obstructive behaviour
