1. Sole Survivors

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

riding the storm that is life and its game
diving into the unknown
we’ll bask in the sunlight, then shatter on stone
trading the high for the low

make the decision to ride every wave
to show our true self and be brave
to look for the worst and embrace it the same
standing tall, awaiting the fall
together still heeding the call

we’re the sole survivors
forever we chase the wind
sole survivors
this flame we take to the end
sole survivors
we are sole survivors

companions are falling, succombed to their urge
to settle for comfort of home, in the end
but the pain of ambition again makes it known
the journey is often alone

faces remembered but fading with time
the great bell of change makes its chime
with each phase’s ending the same will be known
people found, will each come and go
enlightened we must grow alone

we’re the sole survivors
forever we chase the wind
sole survivors
this flame we take to the end
sole survivors
we are sole survivors

we’re the sole survivors
forever we chase the wind
sole survivors
this flame we take again
sole survivors
forever we chase the wind
sole survivors
this flame we take forever
we are sole survivors

2. Break Heresy

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

pretentious sorrow seeker
wailing on stage your lies
as shameless pawns of fashion
feed off your angst and cries

at some point you gotta stop and realize
you’re not a dreamer but a walking puppet
inside you’re but a stranger
weeping at your own disguise
unmasked and faceless,
true strength shall arise

defy the call of the weaker
break heresy of the truth
time lost behind, though we will turn the tide
and re-awake the flame, deep inside

so now you say you’re lonely
never had a peace of mind
your fatal false perception
keeps wasting all your time

your inner thoughts have become your demise
but i won’t believe that we have lost this battle yet
recall your source of vigor and reignite the flame inside
wake from this nightmare, your fate’s been denied

defy the call of the weaker
break heresy of the truth
time lost behind, though we will turn the tide
and r-awake the flame, deep inside

can’t you see, what is meant to be
that your destiny, is exceeding mediocrity
another dawn in another light
dividing force, regaining sight

at some point you gotta stop and realize
living your own life, set it free and feel its worth
refresh your failing sense and take a breath and say goodbye
onward to chase what remains in the sky

defy the call of the weaker
break heresy of the truth
time lost behind, though we will turn the tide
and re-awake the flame, deep inside

3. Shadowfold

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

a werebeast is rising underneath the external me
swelling and pulsing out it comes
restraint is fading, letting go

i feel a new courage that will not ever betray
channeling instincts always felt
no more misfortune, take control

darkness fell upon my world
petrified by an eternal cold
departing honestly, breaking free this hold

shadowfold is setting to explode
break the force and i will be reborn
no longer lost in decay
innocent my destiny
watch the eruption, detonation bound

they try to repress, they’re shaming your fight
ruling your heart, but I’ve seen the light
mindful and strong, new purpose is growing inside of me

darkness yielding to the dawn
golden age has forever won
forward ascendancy
energy i found

shadowfold is setting to explode
break the force and i will be reborn
no longer lost in decay
innocent my destiny
watch the eruption, detonation bound

and though I am on my way
the same shining path will reach out to you someday

darkness yielding to the dawn
golden age has forever won
forward ascendancy
release i found

shadowfold is setting to explode
break the force and i will be reborn
no longer lost in decay
innocent my destiny
watch the eruption, detonation bound
washed of corruption, i am now the master

4. Wake Up the Tyrant

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

the adventure is not without peril
nor the deed done without all its pain
in your quest out to conquer the mountain
building up inside your brain

born of reason and self inclination
bombarded by emotional stain
blinded from the real truth of conviction
clouded personality enchained

travelling on
storming decisions of fate
something inside of you burns
ignite, its not too late

wake up the tyrant
make dream reality
you’re one to unlock
a new energy
wake up the tyrant
consume your destiny
no one to follow
decide for your fate and become whole

sail the darkness without fear oppressing
fly the course of your life unatained
build yourself a new fortress of wisdom
experience inside contained

conquer the heart
master your quality
emerging to the light of the world
for everyone to see

wake up the tyrant
make dream reality
you’re one to unlock
a new energy
wake up the tyrant
consume your destiny
no one to follow
decide for your fate and become whole

5. Off the Grid

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

slave to the grind, running out of time
to break from the chain of conformity
fly high tonight, shine with all your light
make the decision and wrong shall be right

burning desire for the future
longing and breathing new life
brave shooting star, caught from afar
blaze with distinction, its what you are

get out, off the grid
leave it all behind to find your own peace of mind
get out, off the grid
every chance awaiting us all

yea!

we’re dancing beneath every line of the radar
severing all ties with dysphoria
out from the distance and seeking the unknown beyond
its what we are

and though i think back to what was
there’s no chance i’ll ever return
breaking the wall, heeding the call
straight from the sky now I want it all

get out, off the grid
leave it all behind to find your own peace of mind
get out, off the grid
every chance awaiting us all

burning desire for the future
longing and breathing new life
brave shooting star, caught from afar
blaze with distinction, its what you are

what you are!

get out, off the grid
leave it all behind to find your own peace of mind
get out, off the grid
every chance awaiting us all

get out, off the grid
leave it all behind to find your own peace of mind
get out, off the grid
every chance awaiting us all, just take it all and show the world how
every chance awaiting us all, now

6. Swallow Your Pride

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

silver child on a mission sent to find
another call that’s burning deep inside his mind
rides the sky, upon the world he flies, but down below
but has his second sight deceived him in the end?

“But not a sinner, I’m a winner, don’t ever question what I plan.”

But oh the laughter, your disaster, brought to your knees much faster
stinking truth, dead and dry, rots the beast in his lie

swallow your pride, and now taste the demon
fallen to disgrace, this life that you’re screaming
feel your desire go out like a fire
choices in vain are the choices you’ve made

swallow your pride, and now taste the demon
no one to blame, face yourself with this treason
fate seals the liar, in doubt you deny her
choices in vain dawn this sacrifice I know you’ll not regret

how the world becomes a vicious test of time
when a forgotten soul believed he was divine
all alone, but then to each his own, for after all
when you deny a failure who’s the one in shame?

“But men are feeble, speaking evil, they must be blind to doubt the best.”
But that illusion, your delusion, brings forth your own seclusion
stinking truth, dead and dry, rots the beast in his lie

swallow your pride, and now taste the demon
fallen to disgrace, this life that you’re screaming
feel your desire go out like a fire
choices in vain are the choices you’ve made

swallow your pride, and now taste the demon
no one to blame, face yourself with this treason
fate seals the liar, in doubt you deny her
choices in vain dawn this sacrifice I know you’ll not regret

so long to the old conception
embracing a new deception
confine in a lost reception
a narscisstic way of life
some day your heart will cast a shadow of yourself you can’t hide

silver child, now what is left for you to find?
why have you left that call once deep inside behind?
on and out, without a word to shout, you travel on
where no familiar sight can grieve what you pretend

And not a sinner, you’re winner, I’ll never doubt the words you plan
But oh the laughter, your disaster, won’t ever phase the master
venture forth, dearest fly
never missed, say goodbye

swallow your pride, and now taste the demon
fallen to disgrace, this life that you’re screaming
feel your desire go out like a fire
choices in vain are the choices you’ve made

swallow your pride, and now taste the demon
no one to blame, face yourself with this treason
fate seals the liar, in doubt you deny her
choices in vain dawn this sacrifice I know you’ll not regret

7. Shimmering Status

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

there’s a world under veil of illusion
deep residing inside of you
and burning evermore, as it has before
and it rings a truth you won’t answer for

paralyzed in a state of delusion
a negative is consuming you
and your damaged mind, of a savage kind
never reaching its epilogue

far away, the path is laid
with each step you make your return
not all hope is lost, your mind can set free
confides of the dark, take it away

enlightened call, of one
for you, to wake up
energy ascension, beautiful reverie
mental transformation
the shining path prevails

vanquishing of all emotion
living dream retribution
where fear, so real, will disappear
instrospective revelation solving
inner self will conquer all

far away, the path is laid
with each step you make your return
the light of the sun, will now set you free
reach out and unlock, fly away

enlightened call, of one
for you, to wake up
energy ascension, beautiful reverie
mental transformation
the shining path prevails

enlightened call, of one
for you, to wake
energy ascension, beautiful reverie
mental transformation
the shining path prevails

9. This Means War

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

theres a shadow you can’t take your eyes off at night
sweetest shiver of torment you can’t shake or fight
through my back stung the pain of one thousand knives
though they say that what doesn’t kill, i must reply

days gone by
for the method of fight grows clearer
save your life
this means war

sweet revenge is a dish that i serve icy cold
calculated and unleashed at one hundred fold
faded past, letting all the old memories die
just when you think that you’re safe and sound
thats when its time..

days gone by
for the method of fight grows clearer
save your life
this means war

pounding thunder shaking higher ground
this won’t come easy
like a detonator in its final count
one step away

no emotion here will come around
striking with fury
no turning back, til the end

look of horror as you face the shadow tonight
hammer pounding judgement is within your sight
when you think back to friendship and better times
if theres one thing you must recall
its that i was right

days gone by
for the method of fight grows clearer
save your life
this means war

10. Running Riot

(Music/Lyrics: C.Petersen)

rapid fire dominator
head of the wolfpack
set out prowling for your better
step aside, i’m back

try and oust me, i’m obsessed
you just caught me at my best

running, running riot
turning the crowd
building my streak
I’m a running, running riot
pounding in overdrive
one and done then I’m gone

im making it all look so easy
how they live to please
responding to my waving finger
smirking like a tease
burning heavy, fall in line
don’t you worry, you’ll do fine

running, running riot
turning the crowd
building my streak
i’m a running, running riot
pounding in overdrive
game is set for the night

running, running riot
turning the crowd
building my streak
i’m a running, running riot
pounding in overdrive
one and done then I’m

running, running riot
turning up the crowd
and building my streak
running, running riot
pounding in overdrive
game is set for the night
