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

Cancer of the Mind
04:08
|
|||
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

Another Night Survived
04:35
|
|||
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

Burning Black
06:33
|
|||
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
