Lyrics (as far as I could tell, the parts in parentheses are probably wrong)

Snakes in your mouth, their tongues whisper venomously
So well disguised, they deceive even you
They're not to blame, they're just part of this game
Where eagles make the moves, and hearts always lose

Anger grows in me twisting my sense of reality
The sweet dream shattered
beauty and bliss that could have been

Now as you're weak and bleeding
(reliving your tomb) of misery
I'm still undefeated
Enjoy the spoils of my victory
Too late you see my ability

(solo)

With blood and with sweat you're tasting my success
Even more dedication I could have offered you
But you're a disease, a parasite I do not need
Gladly I leave you on the (withered killing tale)

Anger grows in me twisting my sense of reality
The sweet dream shattered
beauty and bliss that could have been

Now as you're weak and bleeding
(ditching) your soul in a rotten (tomb)
Sick, alone and needing
You hope I'd be there to comfort you
Your time for pity is overdue

(solo)

Anger burns in me releasing me from this misery
One sweet dream shattered
But now I know who I'm meant to be

Force, it gathers in us
leading us all to our destiny
With might, (now handed to us)
We shine with joy, grace and unity
You just did not want to follow me

You, alone and needing
I'm still undefeated
You, alone and needing
I'm still undefeated

You lie weak, cold, alone and needing
Enjoy the spoils of my victory
I move on, forever undefeated

You lie weak, cold, alone and needing
I move on, forever undefeated

 

[great_kthulu]

2 solos, I CANT WAIT!!

 

[Adam Fiske]

It's like a mix between Kiuas War Anthem and To Excel and Ascend

 

[great_kthulu]

that sounds awsome!, so really heavy with some growles, but at the same time very upbeat, plus some acoustic guitars throun in?

 

[Stand Undefeated]

Thanks for the info Adam, gettin' pumped!

 

[great_kthulu]

so how long till the rest of us can here it?

 

[Markku]

Hahaa. Good work Adam! We will put "Aftermath" on MySpace tomorrow...

AFTERMATH
Music and Lyrics by Mikko Salovaara

VERSE 1
snakes in your mouth
their tongues whisper a venomous lie
so well disguised
they deceive even you

they're not to blame
they're just part of this game
where egos make the moves
and hearts always lose

CHORUS 1
anger grows in me
twisting my sense of reality
this sweet dream shattered
beauty and bliss that could have been

now – as you're weak and bleeding
dwelling in your tomb of misery
I – still undefeated
enjoy the spoils of my victories
too late to see my divinity

VERSE 2
with blood and with sweat
I've paid for my success
even more dedication
I would've offered you

but you're a disease
a parasite I do not need
gladly I leave you
on the withered killing field

CHORUS 2
anger grows in me
twisting my sense of reality
this sweet dream shattered
beauty and bliss that could have been

now – as you're weak and bleeding
ditching your soul in a rotten tomb
sick, alone and needing
you hope I'd be there to comfort you
your time for pity is overdue

CHORUS 3
anger burns in me
releasing me from this misery
one sweet dream shattered
but now I know who I'm meant to be

force – it gathers in us
leading us on to our destiny
with might now handed to us
we shine with joy, grace and unity
you just did not want to follow me

you - alone and needing
I – still undefeated

you lie weak, cold, alone and needing
I move on forever undefeated
