The genocide they feed our brains
Once registered, always remains
Superpowers, wanting more
The only solution turns towards war
Sending men against their will
So the madmen get their fill
Sands of time
The sands of time, they slip away
Sands of time
The sands of time begin to decay
There is no reason to this rhyme
Though it’s happened time after time
Wealth and power, what it’s for
Oil, gold, and iron ore
Rape the world for what it’s worth
Destroying Mother Earth
Sands of time
The sands of time, they slip away
Sands of time
The sands of time begin to decay
Take in consideration that time is not on your side
You feel no remorse as you watch your people die
You betrayed your country, and soon you will be overthrown
You dug your own grave, and into it you will go
Eroding the minds of the nation’s youth
Right or wrong, they deserve the truth
Ignoring the helpless, weak, and poor
Just do what I say, my word is law
Draw a line in the sand
Make your final stand
Sands of time
The sands of time, they slip away
Sands of time
The sands of time begin to decay
Sands of time
The end is near, death in your face
Sands of time
The sands run out, you’ll die in disgrace

Battle-weary soldiers, marching through the sand
Wounded men drift on across this godforsaken land
Children of a pointless war long to see their home
In searing heat, with blistered feet, onward they must roam
Despondent, lonely men, dreaming of their wives
Cries of anguish break the silence, men fight for their lives
Helpless victims left behind, baking in the sun
They face the end with their best friend, a soldier and his gun
The sands of time slip by, the men are surely lost
Food is running out, they must keep moving at all costs
Scorching days and frigid nights slowly take their toll
March till they drop and never stop, they must reach their goal
Sent off to this desert to battle unknown foes
Following their orders, for what reason, no one knows
Now they watch the vultures circling in the sky
The soldiers bleed, the buzzards feed, one by one they die
The hot sun burns their skin
Fighting a war they can’t win
Burning flesh fills the air
Dying soldiers scream a prayer
Thirsty men dehydrate
Left to rot, grisly fate
Corpses strewn about, putrid smell
Sent to die in this hell

Across the desert wasteland, beyond the mighty Sphinx
In monumental temples lie the fallen Egyptian kings
Entombed with worldly riches, for comfort in the afterlife
But grave robbers be warned: none that enter survive
Imprisoned with the pharaohs
Thieves beware the curse of Osiris
Enter the pyramid through a hidden passage
The gods shall not forgive such a sacrilege
Wander through the tunnels, driven by your lust for gold
You’ve nothing to lose save your eternal soul
Imprisoned with the pharaohs
The curse of Osiris on your head
To guard against despoilers, the builders laid deadly traps
You discover this abruptly as the tunnel walls collapse
Tons of earth surround you, a victim of your own greed
Choking to death on the rancid air, payment for your evil deed
Imprisoned with the pharaohs
Stricken by the curse of Osiris
Imprisoned with the pharaohs
No escape from the wrath of Osiris
Imprisoned with the pharaohs
For all eternity

Kings

Riding in ships of death and glory
Day after day they continue their quest
Battling the forces of Mother Nature
On through the night, they forge their way west
The mighty ships creak and grind
The weary crew struggles for life
Courageous men with the will to fight
Seeking new land to corrupt with strife
Viking warriors, hardened by war
Viking warriors live by the sword
Viking warriors conquer the land
Viking warriors, taking command
Kings of the ocean
No one fucks with you
Kings of the sea
The Vikings, sailing through
Kings of the land
Others pay the toll
Kings of the earth
Never to fall
Kings of war descend
By dawn’s light the crew sights ground
They row ashore to stake their claim
Battling the natives with sword and shield
Helpless women and children their game
The last living creatures fall to the Vikings
The New Found Land is theirs to mold
Now they must rebuild the damage
To shelter themselves from the bitter cold
Viking warriors, hardened by war
Viking warriors live by the sword
Viking warriors conquer the land
Viking warriors, taking command
Kings of the ocean
No one fucks with you
Kings of the sea
The Vikings, sailing through
Kings of the land
Others pay the toll
Kings of the earth
Never to fall
Kings of war descend
With peace comes boredom, and with boredom, death
The Vikings’ bloodlust takes control
Battling one another for the thrill of the hunt
Now the Vikings must reap as they sowed
Natural selection, the weak fall first
Brother killing brother for the spoils of war
Their hunger for death never satisfied
The survivors set sail for a new, virgin shore
Viking warriors, victims of war
Viking warriors die by the sword
Viking warriors, raping the land
Viking warriors, blood on their hands
Kings of the ocean
No one fucks with you
Kings of the sea
The Vikings, sailing through
Kings of the land
Others pay the toll
Kings of the earth
Never to fall
Kings of war descend

Nemesis

Through the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,
Past the wan-mooned abysses of night,
I have lived o’er my lives without number,
I have sounded all things with my sight;
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being
driven to madness with fright.
—H. P. Lovecraft
I rule this vile, corrupted land
With iron-fisted hand
My followers are here by choice
Manipulated pawns
An apostle of doom, as old as time
My rebirth is the final sign
Many names through history
You may call me Flagg
Nemesis, controlling your mind
Stripping you of your sanity
Nemesis, controlling your fate
Now your soul is mine
The gluttonous evil attracts my fold
Lepers and outcasts who do as they’re told
Abject fear keeps them in line
Crucify all traitors
In their dreams, they hear my call
They gather ’round for the final fall
My triumph is etched in stone
An epitaph in blood
Nemesis, controlling your mind
Stripping you of your sanity
Nemesis, controlling your fate
Now your soul is mine
I rule this vile, corrupted land
With iron-fisted hand
My followers are here by choice
Manipulated pawns
An apostle of doom, as old as time
My rebirth is the final sign
Many names through history
You may call me Flagg
Nemesis, controlling your mind
Stripping you of your sanity
Nemesis, controlling your fate
Now your soul is mine
