Omen

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.

The Dead of the Night
04:56
|
|||
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

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.

Relics of Sanity
05:17
|

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

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.]

When the Smoke Clears
06:47
|
|||
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.
