Traveling by word of the wise This ancient story arrived A messenger sent from far and wide Upon the raging beast he rides He rides Ride Upon the death of mortal man The messenger journeys across the land Clutching the unknown in his hand Bestowing the mystery of God's plan Upon his death an old man finds That life and death Are intertwined The question that once was denied Is answered now, in this afterlife Every man controls his state The extent to which he seals his fate The messenger brings to his prey The creator's will that final day Of good or evil, there are none denied The right to pass to the other side But in this life, if evil aligned To hell the messenger will ride Riding from the other side Upon your death he will decide Heaven or hell... which is deserved? Hear the word from the messenger Riding from the other side Upon your death he will decide Heaven or hell... which is deserved? Hear the word from the messenger Riding from the other side Upon your death he will decide Heaven or hell... which is deserved? Hear the word from the messenger

Orphan of a dying world Hurling through space and time. So young, you cannot see, You fly toward destiny. Living among us now Watching and waiting. Concealed by the ones you love, You honor their sacrifice. Your time will come my son, The Earth will see you as I do. The light piercing darkness, The hope of a better world. A father gave his only son To shine a light upon this world A Love so alien, a savior of humanity. The strength you've given me, Salvation for mankind. The will to change the world, And lead humanity from the dark. I'll emerge a man of steel, I will be your champion A father gave his only son To shine a light upon this world A Love so alien, a savior of humanity.

They took away all that I am From this dark place there can be no return As I become master of my own destiny I will make right injustice Protect the innocent ...And punish the wicked I want you to know right now You're one step from the edge Something inside keeps telling me You're not long for this world Take some time to think about everyone That you have harmed in your life I will take their pain away When I bring your punishment Ask not why your time's in jeopardy Of coming to an end Your life has been blasphemy Destruction's all you know For this I will bring the hammer down Judgment has been made I will wash your sins away When I bring your punishment For the innocent I have risen Time won't heal all wound So punishment will be given This is the path I've chosen It blocks the pain of failure I feel Losing you is killing me But I will not go without a fight For the innocent I have risen Time won't heal all wound So punishment will be given For the innocent (For the innocent) I have risen (I have risen) Time won't heal all wound (Time won't heal all wound) So punishment will be given (So punishment will be given)
