Nick Great dynamics, a real stand-out track on this strong album of thrash metal badassery! Favorite track: Shifting Sands.

MindOverFour The vocalist is a Joey Belladonna doppelgänger, which is beyond awesome. Musically, if you gave this to me in 1990 and told me it is the new Anthrax, it would probably be my favorite Anthrax still today. Could be for me the best non-ironic thrash (i.e. not silly punk thrash about beer and space zombies) albums of the year, at least until the new Testament comes out. They seem humble about what they are doing, but I see it as a forwarding of the tradition and not simply as retro. Favorite track: Make Them Fear Us.

Going to War 06:41
Ever since the dawn of time men fought in battles With results shaping our destiny Once again we find ourselves facing a struggle With our own kin as the enemy Leaders of men with twisted ideologies Put to use to raise the mightiest armies Negotiations just a useless masquerade To give in would mean to surrender Diplomacy has failed No more room to compromise The only solution is going To war [Chorus] No reason to believe There is another way Going to war Settling the score We sacrifice our sons To go to war SOLO (Max/Oli) As the bullets fly with the smell of death filling the air Soldiers fall on the battlefield Do we have the right to ask the question : is it fair To sacrifice for an ideal? When the war is over, who wins or loses in the end? Soldiers, countries, you or me? As those in power they plot to go to war again From their towers made of ivory Diplomacy has failed No more room to compromise The only solution is going To war [Chorus]

Looking in the crystal ball Trying to foresee the fall Believers hanging onto every word Prophets of impending doom Proclaiming that disaster looms A sign sent from the gods seen in the stars War of the worlds will be raging When we see the blood moon rising So the ancient writings have foretold The earth will split, fires will burn There will be death at every turn As judgement from the heavens strikes us all Pretending to hold the key To a mystical truth To realize the prophecy The madmen they're counting on you Before we all are sent to hell There will be one hundred and twelve Sitting one by one upon the throne In the meantime we'll receive the mark So the tribulation starts Then shall appear the sign of the son of man Tides will rise, the earth will shake Desolation in its wake Raining fire from the skies above So the clairvoyant has seen appearing to him in a dream He's the only one to know the truth [Chorus] Doesn't matter what you've seen The future is a mystery Destiny is in our hands No one can foresee the end Terrorizing projections Tantalizing obsession The end of the world in a doomsday prediction TWIN LEAD (Oli/Max) SOLO (Max) The day has finally arrived The faithfuls ready to give their lives Ready for the ultimate sacrifice The day after the sun will rise Emptiness will fill their eyes As another takes his turn to spread the lies [Chorus]

Sinking so low, your breath you can't hold Panic is starting to rise Corrupt to the core, you did what they told Swimming in an ocean of lies Trying so hard to get to the shore Exhausting yourself all the while They're circling around and you know deep down This is the end of the line [Chorus] It's a deadly game You're killed or you drown You're left to the sharks No one can save you now Left to the sharks They're going to eat you alive Blinded by promise of riches and power Striking a deal with the devil A pyramid scheme to weaken and devour Taking what he feels entitled Slowly but surely his grip's tightening harder You're sinking to the abyss below Wounded and weak your blood taints the water As he tears the flesh from your bones [Chorus] SOLO (Oli) TWIN LEAD (Oli/Max) SOLO (Max) Sinking so low, your breath you can't hold Panic is starting to rise Corrupt to the core, you did what they told Swimming in an ocean of lies Trying so hard to get to the shore Exhausting yourself all the while They're circling around and you know deep down You've reached the end of the line [Chorus]

There was once a time when we thought that all was right There was once a time when our sight was dark as night Time has come for us to rise and take back what is ours Inside our hearts there's a fire that will burn all of their lies Can you hear the revolution calling? Can you feel it's power? For a too long time they have tried to keep us at bay With empty promises they have tried to get away No more, we've had enough, there needs to be a change the balance of power will shift, the world we'll rearrange Can you hear the revolution calling? Can you feel it's power? [Chorus] Strike, the time is right Down, we'll make them fall Take, what's rightfully ours We will make them fear us Strike, the time is right Down, we'll make them fall Take, what's rightfully ours They will never break us (Solo Oli) Always on the prowl, taking chances when we can To unveil the truth and bring justice to the land There's no remorse, we'll never stop until we get what we want Until we're satisfied, their darkest dreams we'll haunt Now you have a choice of which side you're gonna take You must be wise because it's time to make or break We will tear all the walls down and bring empires to their knees A little bit of faith is all that we ask that you bring Can you hear the revolution calling? Can you feel it's power? [Chorus] (Solo Oli) [Chorus]

Lost in a sea of madness Where no one knows the truth Their withered hands with bony fingers point at you They know you've lost your mind In their fight to lead the blind Feeding on your trust, they reduce your soul to dust All around immense decay Reason slips away The iron grip of their words tightening on your world Treating you like a slave They make you dig your grave The torment never ends, your will they want to bend Down on your knees, you do as they please Helping them to slowly spread the disease No pride and no shame, you’re taking the blame A pawn caught within their mischievous game Your burden you bear and fight the despair Hoping that in the end life will be fair Nothing to gain in playing this game, nothing to gain, nothing but pain [Chorus] Break the chains that bind you Pierce the veil that’s clouding your eyes Only then will you find, the answers hidden deep inside Lost in a sea of madness Where no one knows the truth Their withered hands with bony fingers point at you Your time is up, you’re next in line Accused of fictitious crimes, they’re waiting on their turn To send you to hell to burn Down on your knees, you do as they please Helping them to slowly spread the disease No pride and no shame, you’re taking the blame A pawn caught within their mischievous game Your burden you bear and fight the despair Hoping that in the end life will be fair Nothing to gain in playing this game, nothing to gain, nothing but pain (Solo Oli) [Chorus]

One by one they die No matter how I try I need you to hear me Will you listen to my story? When the curtain falls I can hear it call Deep within the dark A voice that petrifies my heart Noises in the wall Footsteps in the hall Or maybe it's my mind Playing with me one more time Closet door obsession Was it shut or opened? Or maybe just a crack? As it was when I came back [Chorus] Deep in the darkness, it hides and it waits Feeding on fear and on sin Powerful presence, evil entity Taking you on as its prey Slithering in the shadows Moving in the night Closet door again Wonder if this will ever end What happened to my life? I've sedated my wife On the couch, laying down Going to sleep with the lights on Wherever I run Wherever I hide It follows me around Even when moving out of town I can't stand this door Can't see it anymore Can't open it at all Keeping my boots in the hall Solo (Max/Oli) There it is again The door is blown wide open Mud and filth on the floor From the closet to the front door Is it going out? Is it coming in? Records scratched, covered in slime Mirrors are broken, the sounds, the sounds!!! Just needed to tell my story Now I have to leave No one knows what I've seen Not even the authorities I'll be back again To tell of you of the end Oh my god, what's that noise? What is wrong with your closet door? [Chorus]

Shifting sands of time flow through the hourglass Carrying with it memories of a distant past There's nothing that can stop the endless motion There's nothing that can ever be undone Looking in the mirror It's reflection stares into my soul As I'm growing old Shifting sands of time flow through the hourglass Carrying away things I can forget at last Deep underneath what accumulates Innocence is drowning away No more a child, I realize and see That life itself is not what it seems Reflection in the mirror Burns a hole into my soul As death is drawing closer The moment of birth is the start of the journey to death Isn't it ironic in the end? To answer the question that burns inside your head The price to pay is the ultimate fare Do we only have one shot at this? If that's the case, what have you missed? When the time comes, will you be proud of what you've done? Can we break through the mirror? Grab the hourglass and turn it upside down Get another chance at life And make the sands shift again Could it be that all there is is just this reality? And that time itself is only a fantasy? The people that are gone where are they now? Could they still be around out there somehow? Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Is there nothing more that we can trust And if god is real, what's he waiting for? When I break through the mirror Will you recognize my face once more? When the hourglass is upside down And the sands shift again SOLO (Oli/Max/Oli/Max)
