Wicked 03:24
The wicked move their tongue and curse With words of ill deceit They sicken the land with moves perverse They're hiding in our streets Watch the unfortunate, draw them into your net They serve your heart's desire, catch the innocent Why do you hide, why do you not raise your hand It's time to rise against the wicked of the land Join the attack The wicked lie in wait Evil plots devised They do not hesitate to slay who walks upright In pride and arrogance there is no punishment Or greed and disrespect, fraud and oppression Why do you hide, why do you not raise your hand It's time to rise against the wicked of the land Join the attack The wicked will soon fade, wither like a weed Their broken swords will pierce their hearts and they will bleed Eat up the people like you're feeding on bread Corrupt and shame the poor, not who understand Why do you hide, why do you not raise your hand It's time to rise against the wicked of the land Join the attack

The Forge 05:19
The seven seals are open The lamb of god has been slain Four horsemen ride into the sky Behold death, war, famine and plague Avenge our blood, we cry from the altar The stars fall from the sky Kings and generals hide in the mountains The day of wrath arise I'm silenced by darkness, my mouth aflame with light This passionate orison a thousand men unite We are forged in the fire of the gods Hail and fire will burn the earth The sea will turn to blood The wormwood star will fall from the sky Many people will die I'm silenced by darkness, my mouth aflame with light This passionate orison a thousand men unite We are forged in the fire of the gods

Out of chaos we arise Out of darkness comes the light Spirit let me spread my wings Lift me up, I'm faltering Locked out of Eden, locked out of Paradise Rebel angels rise We were united in dreams Now we're joined in misery Stand up from this sea of pain Leave this raging pool of flame Locked out of Eden, locked out of Paradise Rebel angels rise We stand in arms in this prison of shame We're armed with thunderous fury and flame With power we charge the throne If not for victory, then revenge Blood for blood, fight to the end With power we charge the throne

Requiem 05:43
Shadows slither in the distance Between the forest trees Holding candles burning brightly At midnight Oh I'm anxious to press onward I know they hold my fate Hooded heads are slowly turning towards me Oh why should I listen to just reason Why should I never believe Oh Hunter of great mercy take unto yourself my soul Commit my body to the ground Save me from death eternal when you come and judge your prey I bow before thy horned crown Six seeds of living breath Six sickles or the sharp fangs of death The key to heaven's gate turns only for gold No empty graves across this land And then the sinners rise, call out to the judge The Hunter's bloody reign's at hand Six seeds of living breath Six sickles or the sharp fangs of death The day of wrath will come Blessed are the dead My heart contrite like dust Blessed are the dead Lest I burn in fire forevermore Oh Hunter let me join the pack As we're damned and doomed, implements of war I proudly stand with the army in black Six seeds of living breath Six sickles or the sharp fangs of death The day of wrath will come Blessed are the dead My heart contrite like dust Blessed are the dead

Have you heard of the knight who killed his wife Who killed his wife and son He cared so little for his wife he had the killing done They said at first she disappeared, escaped a loveless man But the blood in her chamber screamed foul play Part of a wicked plan Paladine how could I fall, my honour was my life Within these ruined chapel walls, I pray to you, Divine Show me a sign, I pray to you, Paladine show your light "You must stop the king priest, you must lead the charge" The council found him guilty Guilty of many more crimes He was dragged through the streets, sentenced to death A disgraced and fallen knight His army rescued him from prison His castle was then besieged But then the gods and all of Krynn Turned eyes on the priest Paladine how could I fall, my honour was my life Within these ruined chapel walls, I pray to you, Divine Show me a sign, I pray to you, Paladine show your light "You must stop the king priest, you must lead the charge"

Suffocate 03:21
I long for the death that does not come I rage at the breaking of dawn Search for my grave that was hidden away From this bitter, troubled soul I suffocate Poisoned arrows have pierced my flesh I am drunk with the terror of god He frightens me, I must confess With nightmares from beyond Why am I rejected Am I a slave to sin Trapped in a pit Of suffering and pain I suffocate Even in daytime darkness comes My life is but a breath How can I plead with this power How can I ask for death I am already guilty I cannot meet in court His limits are wider than land and sea I'm overwhelmed with misery I suffocate
7.
In death's endless night Wandering lost through darkened halls A mortal breath taking lives as silence falls I struggled through relentless tears Fought my demons and my fears No more courage, no more hope Only memories of those who died In death's endless night Taken by his dark embrace One year of loss With heavy heart, a soul in pain I struggled through relentless tears Fought my demons and my fears No more courage, no more hope Only memories of those who died In death's endless night Could only think of what we had I was looking back, loss will never fade away I struggled through relentless tears Fought my demons and my fears No more courage, no more hope Only memories of those who died Maybe time does heal all wounds Soon in spring it all will bloom Once more courage Once more hope And the memories of those who died

about

Rebel Angels Rise brings you a barrage of pure metal with a variety of influences, highs and lows, speed and slows, screams and grunts, sizzling riffs and twin solos.

Hunter's second album shows maturity in song writing. They've taken some adventurous choices: more melody here, more thrash there. Maybe a wink to classic rock somewhere else. While always clearly Hunter, always rooted in traditional metal, the seven songs are different, taking you from one setting to another, to keep you hooked from start to finish.
