Omen 06:10
This foul darkness makes its jarring return Unapologetic and unrelenting in its force Maybe this is just how it's supposed to be Clinging to unconsciousness Grasping for departing remorse Swallow me, oh elusive abyss I'm sick of being toward between these realms of lucidity Why won't this darkness surrender to the light? The war of isolation grows increasingly sickening And if you hear this plea for death's release Be warned, the plague of night is upon thee. How do I shed this binding skin while it is tightening its grip? Hiding in the glow of light, begging for the fiery pit So that I may at least feel the burning of my skin Rather than this faux-complacency I've sealed myself in The vultures circle me as I lay motionless My mind is racing as I wait for this severance Why does it have to be this way? I'm so tired of this grief Let me go or take me I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind The void is now, the void is here I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind The void is now, the void is here I know you're trying but you can't fucking save me The light has fallen and the dark has enslaved me A standard day has become a painful struggle to endure Isolation/self-destruction seem to be the only cure To return my being to complacency again The question of why becomes 'when will it end?' I find reclusiveness to be the only thing that keeps me sane Cast away the rays of light, let the clouds fill with rain Wash the doubt away, drown the thoughts that stun my core I can't take this anymore I feel a weight's been lifted, I revert to sanity No longer bound to shadows, I can finally breathe I'll never know why this feeling comes and goes The answer shouldn't be found, but remain unknown I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind The void is now, the void is here I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind The void is now, the void is here And if you hear this plea for death's release Be warned, the plague of night is upon me.

White Line 04:30
Leave me here to rot Far too fucking weak to put up a fight The white line precedes a future black as night Give me your attention Divide me as you please The first one is a rush and the second is a need The calming of the trees is simply not enough Cut me and consume I control you more with every bump I am not your enemy I am everything you crave I am your master And you are my fucking slave Scum of the earth Return to the dirt Don't try to disregard me I'll only make you hurt Leave me here to rot Far too fucking weak to put up a fight The white line precedes a future black as night Self-control will disappear You are nothing without me Independence is a dream beyond reach You are nothing without me It's not enough I no longer numb the pain You must instill me So put me in your dying veins I will devour you You knew this day would come How's this for euphoria? Perpetually numb You can blame me for your compulsion You can blame me for your assault You can blame me for your consumption But the mirror stares back at the face of fault You can blame me for your delusion You can blame me for your affliction You can blame me for the illusion That I'm the reason for your addiction.

These words are soaked in sincerity But it's far too late to make any amends I thought that you had vanished and finally learned your place But now you're just a stain on the memory that I can't erase The past in pieces Fragments to never be repaired Future of darkness, despondence, despair Fallen into traps of elementary design A past to lie forever in a dormancy defied Repugnant aspirations pushing through the disguise A grim display of restitution before my eyes A broken soul A saving grace A fractured life Nothing left to save Lost in the space of masochistic reverie Reflection of complacency grinds to a halt Silence is broken by the temptress turned succubus Immediate impulse held under control Don't enter my mind in the dead of the night Bring forth resolution When closure was born, I thought it'd weaken the storm And breed a mere second of placidity Don't enter my mind in the dead of the night Unwanted ressurection So be the first to witness my curse It never gets better It only gets worse Fuck Irreparable, you can't change what you can't destroy A myriad of actions of the weak Should I forgive the sinking bouts of isolation? Bite your tongue, it's my turn to speak Fire will cleanse the hate that you harbor Let it melt the ice in your veins Until you're left a pool of lies, soaked into earth and washed away Don't enter my mind in the dead of the night Don't enter my mind in the dead of the night Don't enter my mind in the dead of the night This page is ripped and burned to ash The moons that have passed will shatter like glass And reign down an era of loneliness I'll enter your mind in the dead of the night Your words aren't worth their weight in shit You're a lost memory Nothing to me I want these words to cut as deeply as you do.

Gazing Owl 06:56
Surveying every move we make As we hunt and kill ourselves They watch as we neglect to mend our ruin Surveying every move we make As we hunt and kill ourselves They watch as we neglect to mend our ruin Apocalypse is nigh Apocalypse is nigh The human race is the enemy of peace The advocates of hell Our undoing is our own doing A discovery of life Surveying every move we make As we hunt and kill ourselves They watch as we create our ruin Apocalypse is nigh [Contact has been made] The war of worlds is upon us Terror will reign forever Watch the eyes as they draw you in You're dead from the beginning Enemies of humanity Your mind is ripped away Watch the eyes as they draw you in You're dead from the beginning Perpetrators of our own extinction We're inviting the predators A crystal future of barren earth Is the only thing in our sight They surveyed every move we made And all they saw was evil They surveyed every move we made And all they saw was evil Hypnotized by the gazing owl It's no use to beg It's no use to pray Hypnotized by the gazing owl It's no use to beg It's no use to pray.

Where do we begin? Trust established Open realities Your hand is all that's needed I can hear them beckoning The flames dance in the twilight The pupils dilate Abandon all of your faith Open the gates The circles will complete our invitation Soon we will not be alone We'll empty the throne Which letters will be chosen? Which soul will be released? Take my word Take my hand Take your seat Escape Something has been awakened from the unknown Be gone malevolent spirit Hell is not my home In a house of silence There is nothing to fear The devil is here 'Free at last A body for the taking Bloodshot eyes, frigid skin I mock the light Evil will rule under me Showered with pestilence Hell is empty tonight Hell is empty tonight' Where do we begin? Trust established Open realities Your hand is all that's needed I can hear them beckoning The flames dance in the twilight The pupils dilate Abandon all of your faith Open the gates Escape Something has been awakened from the unknown Be gone malevolent spirit Hell is not my home In a house of silence There is nothing to fear.

Absolution 04:53
The stone has been cast The walls have been shattered Stoic shards of the foundation pierce the skin An irrevocable anguish Displayed for wandering eyes And the house of glass comes crashing down At least the skeleton has emerged At least the bones haven't decomposed The evidence of a jilted past The wrath will come A wrath inescapable Forewarned of retalitation The great goddess crumbling A canvas future ripe for decay Painted in blood of the enemy Your life is measured by the torment you live through And now the anguish will be spewed from my hands The lines and warnings are drawn, motherfucker Civility is dead Safety is gone No salvation No forgiveness No mercy will ever be shown to you In the chasm of fire Burning forever No salvation No forgiveness You are the parasite Love the victim, hate the witness Kneel down at the feet of God You'll have to beg and plead to be saved A waste of time, you'll never be forgiven And I will watch until your final day arrives Oh how the fire will engulf the earth When the sun eclipses the fabric of life Detriment will follow and you won't be saved I'd give my own life just to watch you fade away Repercussions will unfold before your eyes And you'll be strangled by the hands of an angry god Death will only bring you emptiness You forfeited it all You forfeited it all No salvation No forgiveness This it your eternity: damnation and pain True absolution You can't be saved by anything but death You can't be saved by anything but death.

So close the hand of death I can feel the fingers around my neck Lifeless and soulless Helpless and hopeless And left knowing that I cannot control this So close the final breath Nearing me, or at least what's left Digging for solace Dwelling so aweless Stuck in this mindset, its process so flawless Sorrow seeping from my pores Manifesting in my core Misery making its home in my bones This is the lowest of low Pulling me closer to the desolation below Sever the ties I am erasing the line between life and death Pulling me closer to the desolation below Sever the ties I am erasing the line between life and death Gloom is growing in my mind Dead in spirit, numb inside Feelings fleeting, self-depleting This is the lowest of low This is the lowest of low This is the lowest of low Pulling me closer to the desolation below Sever the ties I am erasing the line between life and death Pulling me closer to the desolation below Sever the ties I am erasing the line between life and death Between life and death.

Stitches 05:48
Over and over The cycle loops again Memories flooding in Torn into pieces resisting the pull I alone suffered through All held within But something has changed Something has changed War is inevitable Vengeance is destined to be dealt in the dark I hope that this fear slices straight to your heart You'll try to play the victim displaying innocence So goddamn corrupted Repercussions are limitless Hollow at heart, sadistic in mind It must be such a struggle how you live without a spine You'll fade away, so quickly you'll vanish Secrets will surface and you'll be to blame You want to be something? You'll be forgotten No one will remember your name No one will remember your name Driven by jealousy, puncture the root Corruption prevails, so justice you'll elude You think that this is over You think you're in the clear Well now you'll meet the devil as you're paralyzed in fear You'll fade away, so quickly you'll vanish Secrets will surface and you'll be to blame You want to be something? You'll be forgotten No one will remember your name No one will remember your name Trapped Power is shifting to me Lose control Dead Silence is all that you'll know Fractured soul Gone Memories created to fade So alone Rot In this prison of malice you've made Beg for death Mercy comes as a second chance A gift to inspire a mental mend Let me make this crystal clear for you: Fuck with blood and you'll never get the chance again.

I've unleashed the dichotomy A split inside the mind Hallowed be thy blame Corralled imperfect symmetry It cannot be controlled Everything's the same Everything's the fucking same A center of solace mauled by malice breeds desultory animosity Everything's the fucking same A spiral into ambivalence Reluctantly redundant Rig the roulette Soon the beast will feed The eyes of exuberance Soon shall be asleep Relics of sanity When you're built to break, how do you keep the pieces from shattering? Relics of sanity When you're built to break, how do you keep the pieces from shattering? The eyes before me A beauty beyond comprehension So innocent and free A blooming haven Closing slowly, the air around me cools The eyes before me, shifting to red The beast awakens Relics of sanity When you're built to break, how do you keep the pieces from shattering? Relics of sanity When you're built to break, how do you keep the pieces from shattering? Relics of sanity When you're built to break, how do you keep the pieces from shattering? Relics of sanity When you're built to break, how do you keep the pieces from shattering?

Coven 02:29
Abolish the act and reveal your true colors Gray only fades under the brightest of lights A foundation of pseudo-sympathy Won't stop reality from bleeding you dry The souls that you fool will never make you immortal Only tangled in your web of lies A black widow - just a widow with a blackened heart Messenger of death Purveyor of demise There's no condition that you haven't encountered Yet no deficiencies for you to proclaim You're never going to be the one to see the light of day become the face of absolution because you're nothing but a fucking parasite Feeding off the host You should feel nothing but shame And I won't feel a thing when I'm six feet above you dancing on your grave As you unravel, the end will greet you You'll never see this coming A fallen prophet, a lost profit and nothing more Drowning in greed, consumed by scorn There's one warning and one alone The evil that binds you is all that you've shown [And here we see, the sinner has captured the saint.]

A mother holds her dying child Tears streaming down her face She's begging God to put her in her child's place Lying in a field of bodies and shit She lets her child go She never asked for this A man waits in terror He wanted to escape The mere thought of freedom provided him with faith He's told that he's forbidden He wears a mask of doom He's innocent and desperate, yet sealed inside his tomb Our uprising will be our downfall War is king War is god Our uprising will be our downfall War is king War is god We're so devoid of empathy for the victims of environmental theft Caught in the gears of politics, the pores of nature are seeping The wells run dry and pockets fill, black is the newest soul to sell Wealth has trumped the caring sense Mother earth is weeping Desecration creates elation for the masters we obey Desecration creates elation Eradicating the vermin in their way They aren't the only ones No one is safe We're all expendable We're all human waste They only look for numbers and pawns Suffer then, suffer now It will always go on Our uprising will be our downfall War is king War is god Our uprising will be our downfall War is king War is god Unrivaled, unparalleled, we stand alone Tyrants of humanity, we own the gilded throne Suppression is the specialty, so conflict-prone We will not rest until the world is ash and bone Bullets fly, innocent civilians have to die It's just the grand scheme of liberty Lives are bought and sold Freedom is conditional The only guarantee in life is death and suffering When the smoke clears, and there's nothing left but death and destruction The living will envy the dead.
