The Deceiver 05:17
The Deceiver Who are we to let them judge The moral fabric of our being The aging questions The fueling doubts That eat our minds Lack of light Abundant void The walls are closing in this struggle There is little time To lay this to rest Thrashing out, destroying purity The threads that create, unravel The suffering, numbing the pain The endless shame We hurt ourselves, The Temple burns Utopia has fallen Will we give up now, or will we take a stand? Close your eyes, and see this life for what it is behind the veil Sever ties, Disconnect yourself from the machines that make you slave Brood Carry out, the will of masters A pawn in their grand scheme Distracting words Cognitive Dissonance Endless Suffering Painted worlds, unreal creations A new breed taking over Beauty in life Is washed away And still you feast Into these halls Shadows of the Fall A brooding storm to drown, us out Inside these halls Serpents of the Fall A coming storm to drown, drown us all Without a tear in those eyes Sewing chaos, steeped in lies Without a tear in its eyes The deceiver, in disguise

Echoes 04:55
Echoes Sailing backwards, into the abyss Seas tear, sails rip Deck cracks, sinking As the ocean rises to my neck I can barely breath Hang on, we're going under again Struggle, hands bound Weighed down, I will drown I did everything I thought I ever could But it wasn't enough to save me from you Lost my reality, Split personality, Will I discover my peace? or will my flame fade With echoes in my mind I relinquish control It won't be long The fire burned and now it's gone Under water, losing my dreams I sweat, look back Realize I'm here Achieving everything and nothing all the same Was it worth my soul? Stay strong, the time's upon me again Break down, can't think Stand up, go fourth A soulless entity, droning to my grave I just want to live again Who am I to destroy myself It's just another part of me I'll guess learn to share my life And allow what's broken to heal

Into The Dark Lost and hoping To see the light of day once more Until we find out The sun won’t rise again Will the answer I seek find me? Before the blackened moon glows out Maybe I don’t need the response Because all fades away anyway All that matters is what we do with now When our light goes out we’ll leave this place behind Will the legacy stand the test of time? Or will we all just be forgotten Changing our shape To crack the structure of the shell If death is the end I will follow you away (Into the dark) An endless cycle Or violent shift You see what you want to believe Blinded by desire The truth is unknown Reality and faith Do not share a state of mind Accept that we all disappear Poison the moment For a chance at divinity

Black Matter 04:22
Black Matter The skies fade red And oceans burn Cataclysmic atmosphere Under the moon Destruction is soon The mountains crumble away Throughout the ages A vicious cycle Reconstitutes the lands Humans will fall The storms rain fire Hell is here Black Matter consumes us all Feel the plague Deteriorate These once fertile fields The only ones That will survive Are stones beneath the sands Throughout the ages A vicious cycle Reconstitutes the lands Humans will fall The storms rain fire Hell is here Armageddon A king on his throne Worth his weight in gold; no more Sing us a song, make us a prayer Cause tonight, it’s gonna rain Yea tonight, it’s gonna rain Sing us a song, make us a prayer

Praise The Sun Black messenger of death to what was life We watched from far off shores assured, this couldn't be our time Waves crept closer still, and washed upon all shores We watched the sky turn black above, as darkness swallowed light Like a distant memory - that fades away each passing day Like a dull insanity - stale air to breed the thoughts I make I Praise the Sun Black messenger of death to what was life Who's stolen comfort, who's stolen light No end In sight We've gotta get out of this place No end This time We've gotta get out of this place But now in darkness we divide Should we all suffer? should we survive? But now in darkness we divide Should we all suffer? should we survive?

Rise 03:45
Rise Main line The new accelerators Blue light burns Into your eyes Digitized Emotions for the slavers Rewired To desync your mind Guilted by design Foolishly blind Insight atrophy The hive mind One by one They gravitate into the ground Never seeking A reason of their own They’ll consume your soul
8.
Revelations of Time Monuments of sacrificial offerings to the gods An empire of shadow engulfs the land The hollowed woods stripped void of life The starless nights embrace the emptiness We are forsaken We are abandoned Doomed to suffer through the plague of man We are the anger We are the lost Unaware of the revelations of time And in the end, an eclipsing void For the ear you begged to listen drowns you in flames For all the lives we spent on lies We were denied by the gods to ascend
9.
Unbroken 05:28
Unbroken We are forgotten men Lost yet unbroken A tale of hope and dreams It’s tearing at the seams Led down to A path of pain A consequence of these darkened days Feel your faith Deteriorate (Unravel) We are forgotten men Lost yet unbroken A fate that’s sealed in red We are the unbroken A fable of lies we’re sold Unravels as it’s told Led down into A hole of hate A consequence of this wicked fate Feed your hate No escaping now Save face Bend the knee Light the world in flames Breathe the smoke deep Rip them limb from limb I have become the broken
10.
Evil In You 06:15
Evil in You Home again my friend Shadows of what has come and went Hear a nervous sigh Creeping from buried down inside We’re stranded on this rock Two hands to break the rot In your existential horror You breath; in this wretched, god given disease Oh to wash away this sorrow You see; I concede to, the evil in me Servant 'til the end To one’s will you’ll all but bend See an evil sight Hovering just above the light Two eyes to see the grave You’re digging every day My hands are red With the blood of innocence No longer so pure We’re stranded on this rock Two hands to break the rot Two eyes to see the grave You’re digging every day
