Beyond Affliction
03:52
|
|
||
Serpent rising from the depths within a thought not unfamiliar
Questioning all belief with grief
Lacking confidence to reach any conclusion
Stretching for a verdict
Not all hope is lost in this delusion
Beyond good and evil
No certainty can match with this disbelief
Dare not speak to any form of life
Existing in this maze of silenced facts
Keep waiting for forms of clarity
Accepting all taught as the truth
Resenting proof undermined by filth
Serpent rising from the depths within a thought not unfamiliar
Questioning all belief with grief
Lacking confidence to reach any conclusion
Stretching for a verdict
Not all hope is lost in this delusion
Beyond good and evil
No certainty can match with this disbelief
Memories of lands not travelled
Guided me through foul matter
No one will believe all the things they'll see
When entering new depths and forget all that they have come to know
This harsh reality will defy all belief
The winds of change roaming through the lands of peace
Fiercely wreaking havoc among the oblivious beliefs
Nothing's left standing after
Affliction rises up from within
No man will win

Dead Weight
04:34
|
|
||
Hard to cut loose what's been forever
Dawn of new times, same dead weight
Can not ignore all the obstruction
Focus shifts, clear a passage
Delaying progress, consuming time
Find footing for your own
Don't speak in wretched tongue
For you're shown the way, now walk it alone
All ascended to highest high
Clinging on with all might
Dead weight
Delaying progress, consuming time
Find footing for your own
Don't speak in wretched tongue
For you're shown the way, now walk it alone
Bound to descend the deepest deep
Such strategies only bring you so far
Sacrifice for escalation
Cut loose dead weight trailing for decades
Fate shifts towards a new course
All ascended to highest high
Clinging on with all might

Illuminate Eradicate
02:44
|
|

Look up from the ditch you've grown used to
Open your eyes the first time, reach for endless skies
Never look back to your tragic history
Stand up from the dirt and realize
There's no real future anywhere to be found
The remaining darkness is your tragic legacy
A gloom rising from a realm too far to see
Expanding through endless space
Illuminating the obvious impending doom
Clueless beings follow the herd over the edge
Never looking beyond
See what they see, become the plague they seek
See what they see, become the plague they seek
Born to die, suffer to live
See what they see, become the plague they seek
See what they see, become the plague they seek
Born from ashes of what never became
Build without purpose, no trace of common knowledge
Now transforming into faded memory
Eternity stretched boundaries of belief
Overcoming adversity by sheer brutality
Now transforming into faded memory
A light shining from a realm too far to see
Expanding through endless space
Illuminating the obvious impending doom

Reverie
03:59
|
|
||
All is a lie with a truth hidden deep inside
There's no hiding from balance
Forever forcing power upon the life sentenced plebeian
Survival in a dreamworld beyond this misery and cause of conflict
Blinded by choice in matters so useless to them
Lies control the weak mind
Stare through the looking glass till you find a way out
Magnify the elements in life hardest to see
Survival in a dreamworld beyond this misery and cause of conflict
Blinded by choice in matters so useless to them
Truth will be only for the thinking to see
Looking past all fables
Wondering why open eyes can't see that
All is a lie with a truth hidden deep inside
There's no hiding from balance
Forever forcing power upon the life sentenced plebeian
Survival in a dreamworld beyond this misery and cause of conflict
Blinded by choice in matters so useless to them

Ruler of Cruel
04:26
|
|

Sorrow awaits all transparent fools
Exploitation of the frail
Forcefed measures barricade wage slaves
Sprinting hungrily to its peak
The fools start to doubt morals and rules
Playing into the hands of the cruel
Lured by the bait presented
Tension will grow among masses
Perfect deceived devotee
Passion gives birth to puppets
The strings on your limbs are not
Led by wise consideration
Directed from inception
Passion fuels conflicting fears
Unaware of damage done
Proud to achieve your new standards
Celebrating victory
Passion leads to your demise
Stained pages degenerate
Lost in a bliss
Forced happiness
Passion controlling philosophy
Exploitation of the frail
Forcefed measures barricade wage slaves
Sprinting hungrily to its peak
The fools start to doubt morals and rules
Playing into the hands of the cruel
Staring down on the timeless
Watching patiently
Waiting for the cleansing to be done
Waiting for the cleansing to be done
Waiting for the cleansing to be done
Waiting for the..
Fools to rule the cruel, who passionately follow primal instincts to their own demise
Hollow promises fuel corrupted spirals, recycling life to obtain more power, much more power
Sorrow awaits all passionate fools
Cruelty through man seems to be seen as the enemy
Sorrow planted ages ago
Outgrown evolutionary needs
Bound to destroy all the others
Devoted to come out on top
Wielding misery with sickening accuracy
Planting seeds of doubt in every newborn
Breeding out all cerebral activity
Forever mindless they dwell, we dwell

Unborn Tragedy
04:38
|
|
||
Creating a spark of hope
Life yet undecided
Shaping unborn ghosts
A birth of tragedy
No mercy granted
Life gives and takes
Torn by death lingering past
Future looks grim
Every step further takes its toll
Craving for release from shackles
Bound by years of solitude
Is there ever any end to this road that leads to bliss for me?
Freed from burdens carried through hell
Weighing on my broken will
Creating a spark of hope
Life yet undecided
Shaping unborn ghosts
A birth of tragedy
No mercy granted
Life gives and takes
Torn by death lingering past
Future looks grim
Crawling through swamps of lost hope
Piercing agony slowly seeping through me
No more strength to stand up tall
Utopia a tormenting fantasy
Still every day passes
No end in sight
Future looking the same
No step forward this life, or the next
No single paved road on the path I walk
Drowning in marshes of doomed ideas
Gasping for one last breath I make my peace
Dystopia a welcome tragedy
Creating a spark of hope
Life yet undecided
Shaping unborn ghosts
A birth of tragedy
No mercy granted
Life gives and takes
Torn by death lingering past
Future looks grim

Questions open closed doors
Locked for centuries, hidden secrecy
Answers lacking fantasy
Surrounded by limitation
The rootless tree will always fall
Memories may change over years
While truth stands tall with no support at all
Right here to be seen by anyone
Despair over what once was keeps us guessing
The void opens up more
Cloaked in mysteries, nothing's what it seems
Morality as a fundamental degradation of imagination
The rootless tree will always fall
Memories may change over years
While truth stands tall with no support at all
Right here to be seen by anyone
Hate aiming towards those spreading knowledge
Unstable foundations crumble under pressure
Making way for stronger structures
Things will never be the same again
without the endless quest to share our knowledge
Fearing all that is unknown makes us weak
Hate built on twisted facts
Fear guides away from what matters most
Love for this life created
Despair produced on global scale
The rootless tree will always fall
Memories may change over years
While truth stands tall with no support at all
Right here to be seen by anyone
Incomplete knowledge made us incomplete men

Timelines
05:30
|
|
||
Time will always keep, passing us by,
Pathetic attempts to keep roads from drifting off in the distance
Some paths cross only to divide the minds in future endeavours
When all you've ever fought for comes down faster than before imaginable
No choice, no will strong enough to alter what is predestined
Timelines bind history
Only one path to walk, two destinies
Future its enemy
No destiny easily discarded
As time binds us alone, yet together, forever
Timelines bind history
Only one path to walk, two destinies
Future its enemy
No destiny easily discarded
Required standards keep in line past, present, future
If the line is broken there's no telling what will become, how or when
Space and time crumble
Chaotic lines merging
Overcome to aspire
Bending rules with unseen power
Never losing track of time slipping away
And indeed the soul reasons best when all of senses trouble it
Neither hearing nor sight, nor time nor space, but when it's most by itself
Taking leave of the body and as far as possible having no contact or association in its search for reality
Timelines bind history
Only one path to walk, two destinies
Future its enemy
No destiny easily discarded
