Crimson
06:03
|
|||
Pushed far past no return
Now watch your horizon burn
Forced sight will leave its scar
Let me remind you who you are
Drawing lines in the sand
With blood in hand
A symbol drawn to inundate
If you're holding your breath
Waiting for my death
Then I'll make sure you suffocate
There is no one left to save
You are digging your own grave
You will all bleed crimson
You become what you behold
Worthless souls left to be sold
You will all bleed crimson
Creating worlds fictitious
Anger thrown is so ambitious
Words spoken, full of shit
Another callous hypocrite
To your wolves we are thrown
Blood, flesh, and bone
You galivant and celebrate
But if you're holding your breath
Waiting for my death
Then I'll make sure you suffocate
There is no one left to save
You are digging your own grave
You will all bleed crimson
You become what you behold
Worthless souls left to be sold
You will all bleed crimson
Convinced in a world divided
With a hell that you've decided
Principles of fear and shame
For you and I are not the same
This ignorance will kill us all

Slow Burn
04:43
|
|||
Disregard all logic
This poison thrives in the mind
Information now septic
Beliefs held high by the blind
Ignore the rational
The thoughts you must betray
Question the factual
Paranoia you shall obey
We fall undone
Have faith, succumb
Naïve, we yearn
For the slow burn
Intuition is caustic
Second guess all that is known
Mystifying the basic
We only see what we are shown
No truth is substantial
You only have yourself
Rewrite and dismantle
Deny, if nothing else
We fall undone
Have faith, succumb
Naïve, we yearn
For the slow burn
The word allowed is only what you will believe
In those who speak the truth are intentions to deceive
We fall undone
Have faith, succumb
Naïve, we yearn
For the slow burn

Vain Affliction
05:09
|
|||
Hold yourself in high regard, you put on your best face
Karma hits back twice as hard, it feeds on your disgrace
Trust is few and far between, can't find it in their eyes
Turn away, keep conscience clean, become what you despise
Peace of mind
Never find
Sinking down
Submit, drown
Absorbed in vanity
Rot your dignity
Left to hate and seethe
Choking, cannot breathe
And hell will walk with you
Affliction to see through
Your façade starts to crack
What will be the final straw to break the bearer's back?
Self-indulge your ignorance and overgrown ego
Contrarian for sustenance, you’re putting on a show
Self-labelled yourself as free, you’re shackled to the wall
The bigger you are, the worse you'll be, the harder you will fall, oh
Peace of mind
Never find
Sinking down
Submit, drown
Absorbed in vanity
Rot your dignity
Left to hate and seethe
Choking, cannot breathe
And hell will walk with you
Affliction to see through
Your façade starts to crack
What will be the final straw to break the bearer's back?
Peace of mind
Never find
Sinking down
Submit, drown
Absorbed in vanity
Rot your dignity
Left to hate and seethe
Choking, cannot breathe
And hell will walk with you
Affliction to see through
Your façade starts to crack
What will be the final straw to break the bearer's back?
You cannot run from what you've done, you won't escape your fate

You Are The Enemy
04:43
|
|||
Dehumanize
Treat them like rats
Incentivize
Setting the traps
Caring not for their destruction
Just turning the wheel of corruption
Infighting, the discourse displayed
Follow the leader, you're all being played
And they will follow through
With what they're sent to do
The mob mentality
Playing off the vitriol, manipulate insanity
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
Self-immolate
Societal Collapse
Disintegrate
Springing the traps
They turn their backs on their own
The true face of deceit is shown
Ignorance prevails over truth
Careless, the vermin will run itself through
And they'll accept the loss
To get the point across
Inflict brutality
Profit off of conflict with a horrific totality
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
The rich, the poor, and the sick (you are the enemy)
Forgo inhibition's the trick (you are the enemy)
The selfless, the sentenced, the vain (you are the enemy)
In hatred, we all share the pain (you are the enemy)
Oh
Commanders of their civil war
Play victim, get what you fucking asked for
Oh, the price is paid in blood
Dragged naked through the mud
Flesh and bone fall away, reveal depravity
Aggravate the people’s hate to overthrow morality
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
The rich, the poor, and the sick (you are the enemy)
Forgo inhibition's the trick (you are the enemy)
The selfless, the sentenced, the vain (you are the enemy)
In hatred, we all share the pain (you are the enemy)
Oh, you are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy

Saturn Rising
05:17
|
|||
From the pit, I returned
To lands not touched, yet already burned
A pious and pitiful remnant of all
Consequence, I'll make your sky fall
Emperor, dead old devourer of time
Usurper, I shall reclaim what is mine
The father of fathers before
Born of earth and sky
Wash away the stain of mankind
Sacred son, Saturn shall rise
The hubris of man is uncontrolled
Fractured, the center cannot hold
This disregard has deadened the nerve
Subject them to what they deserve
Emperor, dead old devourer of time
Usurper, I shall reclaim what is mine
The father of fathers before
Born of earth and sky
Wash away the stain of mankind
Sacred son, Saturn shall rise
The father of fathers before
Set to bring demise
Pity grants no reprieve or retries
Selfless one, Saturn shall rise
The father of fathers before
Born of earth and sky
Wash away the stain of mankind
Sacred son, Saturn shall rise
The father of fathers before
Set to bring demise
Pity grants no reprieve or retries
Selfless one, Saturn… rise!

Promethean Treatment
04:32
|
|||
I work to bring forth
New prospects and worth
Disrupt the obstinance
No more resistance
Morality denied
This knowledge kept inside
The means to the end
To inflict progress, I must rend
I will do what must be done
Suffer this promethean
And I'll bear the weight
That you know so well
I will do what must be done
And swallow the sun
I'll become agony, and rise above
Methods of restructure
Dystopia to rupture
I accept my wretched fate
For the new world I work to create
Fear of the neogenesis
And contempt in stagnance
This I cannot condone
I work to reshape what is set in stone
Catalyzing evolution
Treatment for their suicide
I will do what must be done
Suffer this promethean
And I'll bear the weight
That you know so well
I will do what must be done
And swallow the sun
I'll become agony, and rise above
And focus through my suffering to be more than we ever were before
I will do what must be done
Suffer this promethean
And I'll bear the weight
That you know so well
I will do what must be done
And take part in this burden
To know the thoughts of a martyred god
I will do what must be done
And swallow the sun
I'll become agony, and rise above

Living Gemini
Solipsistic blinding eye
Tragic duality
Frantic split personality
Take them, break them, tear them apart
Blame them, shame them, carve out their heart
Callous, malice, shattered yet whole
Violence, silence, divide the soul
Sunder
Hatred undeserved
Contrast, peace disturbed
Dissonant harmony
Hellish dichotomy
The paradigm is schism
Mind and matter collide
Take them, break them, tear them apart
Blame them, shame them, carve out their heart
Callous, malice, shattered yet whole
Violence, silence, divide the soul
Sunder

A Lightless Mourning
05:51
|
|||
I find myself alone again
Isolated on the world within
Seeking out a haven, my resolve is shaken
Strength dissolved and I relapse
And I brace to fall back in my misery
Subjugate me
So I may pass through here
Amputate me
The sight now will sear
I close my eyes, I breathe
Kneeling before my dread and fear
The memories create a new veneer
Anxiety driven, never to be forgiven
Cast aside my façade
A fight for life that yields no victory
Subjugate me
So I may pass through here
Amputate me
The sight now will sear
Tranquilize me
No more light left to mourn
Sacrifice me
Leave me now in my scorn
I close my eyes, I breathe
Wishing to return to there
But this burning cold I cannot bear
Pacify and forget the tragedy
Look for the sun, this light will sever me
Fading at the margins
Tethered back to all
Knowing what comes next
My calm before the fall
I close my eyes
In time I will return to this place and breathe this cold air again

Feeding The Ouroboros
05:07
|
|||
History is doomed to repeat
The hourglass turned on its head
Armageddon looms ever closer
Slaves to the cosmic order
This constants is our life
All
Bow
To
Time
Repeating the cycle
Perpetuate, and return to zero
Feeding the Ouroboros
Devour our own tail
Patterns encapsulating all mankind
Our tendency towards catastrophic failure
Habitual is life, fate consumed
Destiny dies in preconception
This vessel is your life
All
Bow
To
Time
Repeating the cycle
Perpetuate, and return to zero
Feeding the Ouroboros
Devour our own tail
Systemic relapsing, chronic deja-vu
Equilibrium kept in check, we can't undo
Repeating the cycle
Perpetuate, and return to zero
Feeding the Ouroboros
Devour
Our own tail

Absolution
06:05
|
|||
Cautious words disobeyed
The seas have boiled, the mind is flayed
All too late, the curtain falls
The sun is setting, heed the sirens calls
The blood runs Crimson
Down the pavement and into the streets
The machine grows stronger
With every broken body that it eats
This cannot be
Monotone empathy
No absolution from what is done
All hope is gone
The fires of Earth burn on
Silence befalls the corpse of mankind
No savior for the human race
To be snuffed out without a trace
Actions made in desperation
A sickening systematic decimation
The skies glow Crimson
Reflecting over ashen tides
A horrid death rattle
That breaks down the strongest of prides
This cannot be
Monotone empathy
No absolution from what is done
All hope is gone
The fires of Earth burn on
Silence befalls the corpse of mankind
This cannot be
Monotone empathy
No absolution from what is done
All hope is gone
The fires of Earth burn on
Silence befalls the corpse of mankind
I know this plight
Is all so worthless
An endless fight
With a foe that knows no weakness
I'm giving in
To those who seek this
A tarnished world
Uncaring eyes awash with bleakness
No turning back now
Brace yourselves
Savor the moment
And welcome the dawn
