CD 1:
1. The Star-Spangled Banner (1:13)
2. Declaration Day (4:59)
3. When The Eagle Cries (4:06)

CD 2:
1. The Devil To Pay (12:13)
2. Hold At All Costs (7:05)
3. High Water Mark (12:35)

Because of the album's super-patriot theme, some tracks weren't added to versions released in certain countries. The Star-Spangled Banner was removed from the German release, and was replaced with Green Face.
