Aftermath 06:37
Hailing from the east The deadly destroyer comes Prophetic, its release Our wiped-out nation succumbs Crawling underneath The masses face defeat Eyes to the ground Screaming on our knees Crushed beneath the force That seems to see no end Stomped without remorse Our lives are blown away Descend into decay In the aftermath We give in to the weight Of our dark and endless days Meet the gaze of our fate As the world looks away Plunged back in time To a barren dust-filled waste Severed from our prime In a black, suspended state Desperate to survive We fight or seek exile And those left behind Barely the odds defy The air smells of death As some have given in To take their final breath Let hope slip away Relentless is the chain Of misery and hate That fills the heavy minds Of the island's inmates Descend into decay In the aftermath We give in to the weight Of our dark and endless days Meet the gaze of our fate As the world looks away Massive storm invader from the seas Cause of all the madness and disease Killer tempest breaker of our minds The grand destructor of our kind Again the god of storms is appeased The brutal, deadly wind was released The blood, the fate, the pain of our land Rotten, corrupt, wasteland

Watching from inside The end, end of times Explicit, evident You walk on, and pretend The other side of the blade The other end of the ray The darkest matter in the sky The Cancer of the mind The Cancer of the mind The wretched in command The gilded, sacred brand A Warning to the deaf As valued as death The other side of the blade The other end of the ray The darkest matter in the sky The Cancer of the mind The Cancer of the mind Crashing through the Truth that was foretold Behind these walls I feast on your world Now worship me, your god Prophetic, in control Deranged, oh, am I? Never mind, the minds eye Crashing through the Truth that was foretold Behind these walls I feast on your world If I am me, and I am you Then everything you do is For you is for me too Is for me too All that is, all that was Is not, never was All you are, all I will You are not, only I

I felt the sun warming my eyes Oh, another night survived Escaped the unhinged wrath Of my hands Strange to stare at the abyss Oh, night after night To feel it pull me in Calling me My fear, it holds me back Same way it pushes in My fate waits in the dark I'm slowly stepping in The end might come tonight If courage serves me right Or is it cowardice? Same difference Daylight's fading out Cold winds after dusk Sky is obscured by clouds Darkness feeds my doubt I strive for death It stares me in the face I crave my last breath But then I dread the taste The sharpness of the blade Brings terror from the pain The tightness of the rope It burns around my throat A chance to be free Falling into the pit Grief's all left behind Like an imprint of my life Scorch the earth for all to see One last gift of suffering A monument for my defeat Crumbled, twisted offering Tragic fixture blurs my vision Distant figures move my reason Frantic decision At last, I fall

Dare I descendent of the waste Observe the frailty of the soul No longer with savage hunger Looking to wonder Looking beyond So I have been to the top Only to find there another fall All the while all those around me They seem to be further They seem to be nowhere Am I leaving behind The fire that was raging in my time? Have I fallen apart? Is the light in my being burning, black as night? While I am filling light with doubt The fiend inside me is clawing out Feeding upon this darkness My spirit putrid, my spirit rots Am I leaving behind The fire that was raging in my time? Have I fallen apart? Is the light in my being burning black as night? For every trial There has been brutal failure From every battle There has been bitter defeat Dare I descendant of the waste Observe the frailty of the soul No longer with savage hunger Looking to wonder Looking beyond Am I leaving behind? The fire that was raging in my time? Have I fallen apart? Is the light in my being burning black as night? For every teaching There has been firm attention For every lesson There has been nothing learned Destroy all that is I So that this world can shine

Apotheosis 04:51
From flesh and sin To infinity Carved in stone and seen Beyond this World that wants to feel absolution Armed with wrath of God Conquer the minds of rejects Who look upwards fro truth Destroy begin revolution Stomp on rotten grounds Deify Apotheosis Rise above Reigning below Worship, fear and Offer souls To feed this endless vortex Of passionate misery Deify Apotheosis Rise above Reigning below Martyr sacrificed to the void In the blackness of light destroyed All sin rectified mind of those Burdened by free will Enclosed Deify Apotheosis Rise above You reap what you sow

The Revenant 05:02
Entrapped in elation A sublime enervation A war of attrition Between bond and volition Delightfully insipid Caressing death The clock ticks away much to my dismay This stalemate hurts I only fight in spurts As I wrap my arms do I embrace or choke? Our souls Drifting space and time Unbound Everything ends But why do I deny? This impenetrable crust was formed Mere child, weathered and stormed Broken at birth A genetic curse Bequeathed addiction The source of affliction Nothing can stop this hunger Oh God, what is it I long for? I damn this desire to learn Yet fire conspires to burn Our souls Drifting space and time Unbound Everything ends Yet why do I deny? The Lie Like a split atom Or lost at sea Resist the urge to retreat Unto the corpse of a dream Squirm, struggle and wonder Think not of asunder Perish the thought and slumber

The Pale 08:04
The void Outer space The ending of man Uncharted place The end Of knowledge’s reach Transcend to the vast Luminous ditch Our lives Seem relevant Until we realize Until we realize The scale Pathetic spec We are the pale We are the pale Mortals reaching for the boundless sky Breathing, living, fearing, soaring high What was learned, what was lost Matters not, we matter not Null Fleeting The time we have But what is time? But what am I? Our lives Seem relevant Until we realize Until we realize The scale Pathetic spec We are the pale We are the pale What was learned, what was lost Matters not, we matter not Null Pale, we are the pale Under the veil Our logic fails Blue, we are the blue In search of proof Elusive truth Pale, we are the pale Under the vei Our logic fails Blue, we are the blue In search of proof Elusive truth We are the frail
