güzel albümün güzel ve uzun kapanışı. yalnız biraz manowar hatırlatmadı değil o koro kısımları, tabi kimse dt ye arakçı diyemez bence.
(bkz: ilk kez dinledikten sonra dumur eden şarkılar)
albümün klasını ortaya çıkaran parçadır. final şarkısı gibi görünür ve gerçekten güzel bir finaldir.
13. dakikadan sonra kendimi soyutladığım olağan üstü güzellikte şarkı.
parçanın tema solosu ile son 3. dakikada ızdırap gibi giren synth'ler adamı mahfeder. tüyleri diken diken eder. parça ayrıca efsane adayıdır.
Bu da sözleri:

III. Heretic

Welcome tired pilgrim
Into the circle
We have been waiting
Everyone´s gathered for your arrival
All the believers

Angels fall, all for you, heretic
Demon heart bleed for us

I´ve been waiting for you,
Weary preacher man
You have been expected
Now we can begin
Let this hollow day of judgment reign

I have known you father,
And your sacred quest
Blessed soldier fighting
You shall never rest
I have known you, but do you know me?

Angels fall, all for you, heretic
Demon heart bleed for us

(My soul is yours dark master, I will fight for you)
Dark master within,
I will fight for you
Dark master of sin,
Now my soul is yours
Dark master, my guide,
I will die for you
Dark master inside

I cannot see his face
But I could feel his spite
A presence from the dead
Abandoned by the light
This shadow will consume him from within

This power that I sense
The rage behind those eyes
Is just a shrouded ghost
A spirit deep inside
The body and the soul both threats
For they are one

Angels fall, all for you, heretic
Demon heart bleed for us

My soul is yours dark master,
I will fight for you

Dark master within,
I will fight for you
Dark master of sin,
Now my soul is yours
Dark master, my guide,
I will die for you
Dark master inside
Dark master, Amen,
I belong to you
Dark master within

IV. The Slaughter of the Damned

Don´t
Bother trying to find them
They will be coming to you
Fight,
Fight and destroy
Until you can´t take anymore

Slay!
Spill the blood of the rebels
They are the children of hell
Flesh,
Of the undead
Stopping at nothing to kill

Sin,
Caught in a moment of weakness
Committed the greatness of all
Sold,
Half of my soul
And now its too late for you

I judge us, my eyes see
I judge and I am just
For I speak of the beast
That lives in all of us

Unwelcome ones
Your time has come

Lord,
You are my god and my shepherd
Nothing more shall I want
War,
Through the abyss
Into the shadow of death

Fear,
There is no evil to fear now
For I know you are with me
My,
Cup overflows
With my enemy´s blood

I,
Decay in the house of the lord
Forever, amen
Death,
Will follow me
All the days of my life

I judge as,
My eyes see
I judge and I am just
For I speak of the beast
That lives in all of us

Unwelcome ones
Your time has come

Servants of the fallen
Fight to pave the way
For the savior´s calling
On this wicked day

Through a veil of madness
With a vicious play
One man rises up
Standing in their way
It's time for your reckoning

V. The Reckoning

(Instrumental)

VI. Salvation

My soul grows weaker
He knows and he waits
He watches over me
Standing at the inferno gates
In the hour of darkness
The moment I feared has passed
The moment I lost my faith
Promising salvation
My soul is my own now
I do not fight for you,
dark master
dream theater'ın 2007 systematic chaos albümünün kapanış şarkısıdır. ama ne kapanış. hiç bitmemesi gereken bir şarkıdır. özellikle 6. dakikadan sonra tüm şarkıya eşlik etmemek mümkün değildir. keşke biri çıkıp in the presence of enemies pt 1 ve pt 2 için bir klip yapsa şöyle yüzüklerin efendisi tadında. animasyon bile olsa kafidir. bir de bu iki şarkı priest adlı bir çizgi romandan uyarlanmıştır.

in the hour of darkness, the moment i feared has passed.
the moment i lost my faith, promising salvation.
my soul is my own now
i do not fight for you
dark master.
