Burnt Relic
04:07
|
|||
Old and wasted
Hunched over in agony
Cold, deluded
Feel the weight of apathy
Your inner soul? Decayed.
The final nail, betrayed.
Devoid of guilt, I’ve fallen to my knees.
The memories rush back
Contrition stays intact
A labyrinth relinquished to the wind.
Nothing’s sacred, burnt relic
Lost in terror
Clenched fist of enmity
None the wiser
Close your eyes, it’s easier to “see”
The memories rush back
Self-pity stays intact
The isolation riddles through the years.
Your inner soul? Decayed.
The final nail, betrayed.
Devoid of guilt, I’ve fallen to my knees.
Nothing’s sacred, burnt relic
You know the tale of “The Broken Wing”?
An owl flies as high as he’s fit
No contrition? You’re stuck with no feeling
Abandoned, I call to my master, “Just fucking kill me!”
It’s not your time to die…
Free us, controlled by misconceptions
The rope, it burns my tired, misguided feet
Lead us, the stench of oil draws closer
My lungs inhale our prize in smoke and ash
Our relic sleeps.

Raging Bastards
04:12
|

Taken out the time for me to settle out a score
Refused to see all sense, the rest were sent to war
Silence is a fool’s best friend, regret knocks on the door
Just hear him calling in, he holds the way to the key
I’ve heard this drivel all before
It’s written red across the walls
This twisted fate you seem to…
Raging Bastards
Tempting our demise
“Creation” – oh, hooray, you say, then slander to the world
Responsibility, misstep to damn your soul
Open arms, a callous song, palm leaves on the floor
You turn your head, Brute?
This is the way of the world
Not my time
Jest is signed
The flies begin to sit
Breed the fix
Just in time
Fate offline
New routes have been assigned
Redefine
I’ve heard this drivel all before
It’s written red across the walls
This twisted fate you seem to…
Raging Bastards
Tempting our demise
A fallacy in lunacy, the tears bring end to reign
Hark back to misbelief, let Judas have his say
A new day comes, forgive the son, his light belongs to day
Open stars call out for me, no matter how unconsciously
Not my time
Jest is signed
The flies begin to sit
Breed the fix
Just in time
Fate offline
New routes have been assigned
Redefine

Into The Depths
08:01
|
|||
Rain falls from the clouds of doubt
Change the barren lands of drought
Sail the waves of your insanity
Creeping souls rile up in mutiny
As I crawl to the underworld
Vicious lies offered long ago
Fear has her eyes on me as I walk on by
Fall to the underworld
I spiral down through the undertow
Time is the price you pay
As I fail to rise up from the seas
You climb the tides
Storms fill the skies
The men are all dead
Anxious wit
We’re under attack
Neptune’s last act
Reach out for the sun
One by one
Engage, the ship is torn to shreds
Shame, swell pulls away the crest
Paralysed, his thoughts of the man he’d be
Broken promises of identity
As I crawl to the underworld
Vicious lies offered long ago
Fear has her eyes on me as I walk on by
Fall to the underworld
I spiral down through the undertow
Time is the price you pay
As I fail to rise up from the seas
This generation ain’t reminded of the sun
Its only vision is the tempest and the dust
You want a full redemption? An act of fiction
We’re the killers of the suns, one by one
Hate me, drown me, the nebula is rising
Despite the waves, we’re holding sail
The odds forever diving
No sense of reason
False allegiance
You wait for the sound of your masters
The sails are sewn seamless
Fate, bring out calamity
Reset, collect your apathy
Children sing your name, indoctrinate
The time has come to slide into the depths
As I crawl to the underworld
Vicious lies offered long ago
Fear has her eyes on me as I walk on by
Fall to the underworld
I spiral down through the undertow
Time is the price you pay
As I fail to rise up from the seas
You climb the tides
Storms fill the skies
The men are all dead
Anxious wit
We’re under attack
Neptune’s last act
Reach out for the sun
One by one

All I've Ever Lost
01:52
|
|||
This world of fools
Kaleidoscope
Yet you can’t see the edge
This vase of mine
My only vine
The crack of burning roots
Make me see your side
Hold the guiding light
I’ll take back all my pride
I worship you
Can’t breathe, I’ve lost all time
Bold words hold no sound
Lonely, beaten down
Memories
All I’ve Ever Lost
Memories

Swansong
07:54
|
|||
I’ve been falling away down in history
Give me the answers to find my way
The details you hold back won’t bring no fear to me
Starving vultures circle ahead
Hesitating, retrobating, have we had enough yet?
Compromising, exorcising, will I be unfreed?
Your all-out lies, they will despise and hoax you
Throw you to the wolves and shun you
It’s a dare
Can’t you see your misconceptions have you dying here?
A boy holds his father’s head
Stand clear, buried in liberty
I’ll know better than tempting the twist of fate
Been given answers, the rest I’ll seek
Breaking Down in a rage of vermillion
A sense of pain unknown to me
Hesitating, retrobating, have we had enough yet?
Compromising, exorcising, will I be unfreed?
Your all-out lies, they will despise and hoax you
Throw you to the wolves and shun you
I seem t’ve lost the key…
Stars are born
No way to turn
Creatures make their move
Their eyes are glazed in black
As a mother tells her son
There won’t be time for “anyone”
It fills our lives from the day we take of breath
How the looming cove of solitude
We reach our final end
All I see is a myriad of regret
Cross the bridge, leave the nest
Find the light in a day
Bring the darkness, fall to rest
Creeping tides, our lungs
Choking, holding back to carry on
Hold me back
Angels weep
Under siege
The curtain’s set
Unleash me from these vines
Witness the rage to end all times
Crawling forwards
Don’t look back, the lies: it haunts you
And never underestimate the road to the edge of the earth
The walls have fallen down, as men have walked before
My swansong is set to the edge of the earth
Walls have fallen down, as men have walked before
My swansong is me

Embrace The Trauma
04:04
|
|||
Stand up, rise up, the only one worth killing is the violator ripping from the sun
Daylight robbery, can you hear them “save me”?
Filth and utter diatribe
It’s all me, not us
Whole world shaking, ripped and torn to pieces
Problems still arrive but never gone
Wounds still aching, repopulised and gaping
Laugh off your shaming
It’s all me, not us, now
See me, hate me, kill me, fill me in
Indoctrinate, embrace the trauma now
See me, hate me, kill me, breed within
To your knees with closing…
Fists up, gather round, incompetence is winning
Repetition is the order of the day
Oh, you say I’m angry? Listen to your family
My prediction is your heart was led astray
Down out raging, this life has stopped believing
Hating brings the viewers to the seats
Wounds still aching, repopulised and gaping
Laugh off your shaming
It’s all me, not us, now
See me, hate me, kill me, fill me in
Indoctrinate, embrace the trauma now
See me, hate me, kill me, breed within
To your knees with closing fists
This world decayed
Embarrassed by our feelings
Gold pockets line the scum of crooked dealings
Humanicide, revel in their own teachings
A final nail that’s hammered by their, “It’s all not me, it’s not me, just us”

I’ve seen nothing of the likes you see
They call to me to no avail
Chaos rampant in the halls of time
Your underconfidence, your jail
Daydream, crowded out
Misguided all along
You ever seen mediocrity?
Repent through orders you seek
Oh, a call for wolves
Degeneration, golden fleece
Oh, a call for wolves
Unsort your brain from the lies, it’ll only betray away
Crimson, evacuate the hierarchy
I loathe the way I feel I’m on the run
Payback, half a decade swept to me
Apologies no water held
I’m falling off the side
I’ve planned my own demise
The only one to criticise
Repent through orders you seek
I will walk with them
I will sleep with them
Take me, prophet
Soul cheat goddess
Lifting up my chin to breathe alone
Under siege, breathe within
Swallow the stars and moon
The sun my misery
Turn back time, remorse defined
I’d break the phantom limb that drags within me
In me, drag the phantom limb within me
Break that phantom limb

Patriarch
07:26
|
|||
Run away…don’t go away
There’s a madman dreaming
Or so they say
Run away…not far away
There’s a madman leaving
Or so they say
Go and take a walk outside for the walls are growing thin
You can seek out the sun and moon
Fulfil the itch
No words I duly say will keep my walls from falling in
I am the sun and moon
Drag you in all doubt
It fills my eyes with red
Oh, can’t you see it?
It seems to me the lies, the deafened cries from a voiceless runt
Ashes waving, present the all-new patriarch
The falling of men
Undying they’ll evolve again
No master, no creed, the balance recedes
Prepare utopian death
Utopian death
Fills my eyes with red
Can’t you see it?
It seems to me the lies, deafened cries
Ashes waving, present the all-new patriarch
