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

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

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

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!

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

Sunder 05:01
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

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

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
