Iced earth - The reckoning

(Schaffer)

(Chorus)
Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning
This time it's our blood, don't tread on me
Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning
This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me

You went too far this time, for this heinous crime
You will know defeat, begging on your knees
One by one you'll fall, your back against the wall
Nowhere to turn, your sure to burn

(Chorus)
Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning
This time it's our blood, don't tread on me

The hours close at hand, I'll make my final stand
Justice shall be done, nowhere to run
True evil grows in you, you're just a brainwashed fool
The coward close that hides, spewing forth his lies

(Chorus)
Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning
This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me

Born of destruction, bred in agony
Is this my salvation?
From these ashes of your devastation
If it was up to me, eye for an eye I say
With a hammer we will take, Lady Justice is asleep
The Judgement has been made, in blood it shall be paid
Death knows what to do, the horseman comes for you.

(Chorus)
Destiny spawned us, it's the reckoning
This time it's our blood, don't tread on me
Revenge is not justice, it's the reckoning
This time it's our blood, yeah don't tread on me

Iced earth - Dark saga

The deal was rigged
There's darkness in my soul
I want to die again

An empty soul shrouded in darkness
Alone and confused what am I?
Images flash memories jaded
He took my life God damn his lies

Fight spawn of the damned, bring down the heavens
Smash in the gates, burn down
You must accept the fate that you've chosen
You will obey your destiny

I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I've lost it all

I know there's goodness in me
Though I'm not the same
I will defy the master
I will refuse to be his slave

No, I was betrayed I can't accept this
My future's unclear, it's a lie
I'll follow my heart stand and be counted
The curse will lift I will survive

I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I've lost it all

I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I've lost it all

Iced Earth - Dracula

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in destiny?
True love may come only once in a thousand lifetimes...
I too have loved, they took her from me.
I prayed for her soul, I prayed for her peace

When I close my eyes
I see her face, it comforts me
When I close my eyes
Memories cut like a knife

The blood is the life, and Christ I defy.
My sworn enemy, birth of a new creed.

Is this my reward for serving God's own war?
The blood I've spilled for faith fulfilled.
To damn her, a disgrace, you spit back in my face.
I served you loyally, and you spew blasphemy.

I avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life

There are far worse things awaiting man than death
Come taste what I have seen
I'm spreading my disease
I will feed upon His precious child
The human race will bleed, they will serve my need.

I avenge with darkness, the blood is the life
The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life

I am the Dragon of blood, a relentless prince of pain
Renouncing God on His throne
My blood is forever stained

For true love I shall avenge
I defy the creed that damned her

Iced Earth - Anthem

In your eyes I see your death ricks and in hunger
We claim your in your past uncertain
See this child it's raised in hate and in anger
His eyes wide open his rage over passed

Son of sunder our destiny is in sight
This is the end from to celebrate your life
Son of sunder our destiny is in sight
This is the end from to celebrate your life

A single mother she is strained and she suffers
She saves away a life into world
A homeless man and he walks and now has nothing
His spirit broken break fall into ashes

Son of sunder our destiny is in sight
This is the end from to celebrate your life
Son of sunder our destiny is in sight
This is the end from to celebrate your life

We have the power to make our lives they are to be
We connect with the humanity
Transcend to a higher place
Accepting reality you are the key to the life that you seek

Biography ICED EARTH Band

Iced Earth is an American power metal band from Tampa, Florida, formed in 1985, by guitarist and main songwriter Jon Schaffer and original drummer Greg Seymour. Originally founded under the name "Purgatory", Iced Earth released their debut album in 1990. Since then, the band have released a total of ten studio albums, four EPs, three compilations, three box sets, one live album and one covers album.
After releasing two studio albums in 1990 and 1991, respectively, Iced Earth took a three year layoff, from 1992 to 1995, after which the band returned with new lead vocalist Matt Barlow. Iced Earth went on to release four studio albums with Barlow, between 1995 and 2001 respectively; 1995's Burnt Offerings, 1996's The Dark Saga, 1998's Something Wicked This Way Comes and 2001's Horror Show.
After Horror Show, Barlow quit the band and joined the police force,while Iced Earth continued on with Tim "Ripper" Owens, of Judas Priest-fame, on vocals. With Owens, the band released two studio albums (2004's The Glorious Burden and 2007's Framing Armageddon), until late 2007, when it was announced that Matt Barlow would be rejoining the band, after five years apart. Iced Earth recorded the album The Crucible of Man with Barlow in 2008, but in 2011 it was announced that he would be leaving the band once again, this time for good. Later that year, Into Eternity frontman Stu Block was announced as Iced Earth's new lead vocalist. Dystopia, Block's first album with the group, was released in October 2011, and was met with a very positive response, with some critics calling Dystopia one of Iced Earth's best albums.
Since its inception, Iced Earth has had numerous line-up changes, with founder Jon Schaffer staying as the only constant member. As of 2013, there have been over twenty musicians in and out of Iced Earth since its formation in 1985 (see: List of Iced Earth band members for more details). Currently the band is composed of rhythm guitarist Jon Schaffer, lead guitarist Troy Seele, singer Stu Block, bassist Luke Appleton and drummer Raphael Saini.

Iced earth - Dystopia

Enter the nightmare, this future does implore,Hijack your city state, a prison nothing more.Rounded up like cattle, you're forced in to the trains,Nothing that you've ever known will bring you so much pain.

If you try to resist me you'll find me inhumane,But if you just submit you'll live your life a slave.Your love, your servitude will medicate your pain,With our technology, we'll always keep you safe.Microchipped by darts, their thoughts are not their own,All that's left of human kind is now in their control.Planned out through centuries, patient and contrived,Pray on man's naivety, gullible and blind.

If you try to resist me you'll find me inhumane,But if you just submit you'll live your life a slave.Your love, your servitude will medicate your pain,With our technology, we'll always keep you safe.

[Chorus]

The nightmare unfolds before my eyesI will resist 'til the end of timeA spirit born free has to break these chainsWe're lost, we must find our way.We must find our way.We'll find our way.

They say that you're a danger to everything that's pure,There are too many of you, they're offering the cure.Swift extermination if you refuse the game,Arrested development, your vaccinated fate.If you try to resist me you'll find me inhumane,But if you just submit you'll live your life a slave.Your love, your servitude will medicate your pain,With our technology, we'll always keep you safe.

[Chorus] x2The nightmare unfolds before my eyes,I will resist 'til the end of time.A spirit born free has to break these chains,We're lost, we must find our way.

We must find our way,We'll find our way.
