Intro 01:23
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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

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

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

Mixotrophy 05:29
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
