It’s growing in my core and never goes away Wish for sleep, wish for death, wish for anything to calm this jagged edge You’re never far away No water can wash away this stain or calm my heightened nerves No pill to take to fight the pain that’s in my skin and never fucking leaves It never fucking leaves I hate what I’ve become I hate who I’ve become I hate this life I never cared or felt a thing about I hate what I’ve become No water... etc,... No hope for peace of mind to wish for such is death in life but still I yearn for something that is just beyond my grasp Satan, arise, be one with this pain I summon that which controls the bitter waves and hold onto the fire which burns within my veins It twists and squirms within my claws but never will it leave I now control the rage that builds with every waking dream Behold the flames of Hell Behold all that I make.... |

1. | Solitude | 09:01 | Show lyrics |
Cackling past, I curse your echoing voice. I have become the air that was so cold. The final form surrounding that which we never have known. So bleak it is that nothing will escape. The enemy of all that was and all that should have been. The unfeeling Earth was never this aware. A piece of me is dying and I somehow do not care. No victory or strength to battle this and hope for life. We hold our breath and close our eyes and now lay down to die. I question that which guides my every step. No God exists to place the blame, it solely lies within. My feeble heart is blackened from the worthlessness of life. I hold my breath and close my eyes and now lay down to die. Do you still ring with the pain of the words not forgotten that hide in my shadow like so many faded days? How your anguish persists, it still gnaws at my heart. These memories will chase me eternal and grant me no... Solitude. A single voice still lingers. |
|||
2. | Alone with Our Failures | 04:03 | Show lyrics |
Faceless summer night. I call out from the shadows. Empty now, the barren streets summon scenes. Here a blackened future lies. Condemn this shallow world to wallow in its sadness. Broken now, the city bleeds a noxious blood and slowly dies. I pretend that I am more. A rotten pretense to the chains I wear. An empty lie of sullen safe from the claws of the beast of which I am part. And here is no sound acknowledging darkness. We stand on hollow ground. And scream the hopeless. We live as cancer breeds. Can you see beyond your eyes? There is no renewal on this Earth. No solution beyond a mass grave. A spell for the death of man. A spell for disease we’ve never known. Dispel all myths of hope and joy. Unleash the beast we hold within. A spell for the death of man. A spell for disease we’ve never known. Dispel all myths of hope and joy. Unleash the beast we hold within. Alone with our failures. [x4] |

3. | Longing Is All That Will Remain | 07:16 | Show lyrics |
Let those who wake despair upon the night. For through it all they loved has turned to gray. Like the ever-fading memories of all we hoped be. In an instant lost to waters deep forever more to keep. This loss pervades the spirit. A spectre of doubt in every breath. A second from failure. A lifetime of doubt. Confident in the permanence of the moment. Trusting in the encouragement of actuality. But all we have will one day slip away as the past tense replaces the present. Time slips right through our grasp. And laughs as it leaves. Singing with triumphant might, "The way things are is not how they shall be. On trust this fact." This is a light in the sky that blinds those who foolishly look. This knowledge corrupts us. Let those condemned with life confess this sin: they believe that truth is lasting. But every truth must one day turn to dust. Must only self-destruction be reality? This loss envelops the being. For every hope is fleeting. A second from failure. A lifetime of doubt. In this I trust: all things will fade but longing. All we have will one day pass. And laugh as it leaves. Singing with triumphant might, "All roads lead to me and nothing escapes my grasp. One day, you will succumb." |
|||
4. | Condemned as Prey | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes. "Breath deep," she says, "For I am forever throughout this world." She is the creeping shadow cast by every winter’s moon. Frigid darkness to chill the fragile skin of man, condemned as prey to her unyielding hunger. The world is cleansed by Sorrow’s touch. Devoured, flesh. Devoured, bone. Condemned as prey. All hope dismissed as fallacy, a truth known beyond words. A curse upon Serenity, who clings to shallow truths. This ghost will stalk reality ’round every darkened curve. The true face of humanity, we get what we deserve. Sorrow chokes the air and fills the mouth with words of anguish. "Speak with ease," she laughs, "for I will always guide your tongue." Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes. "Breath deep," she says, "For I am throughout this world." Condemned as prey. |
|||
5. | I See No Civilization | 07:54 | Show lyrics |
Please grant me this one wish: This skin will never burn. Let the bones collapse like every body must but let the form escape the ravage that come. A guarantee of every interaction. Necessity, perhaps, of this human complication. This world breed pain and suffering. I fear this dedication. Await the day my name is changed to meaningless distraction. Perhaps we’ve seen too much. Perhaps we’ve gone too far. Perhaps we’ve seen too much. Perhaps we’ve gone too far. A first against the collective hopes of man. One crushing blow for every glorious stance. If hope is truth, failure is fact. Despite our dreams, conflict is true contact. Wait for the day when my name becomes a curse upon your lips. It will dig into my core and haunt me as I walk, a ghost upon this Earth. A voice still lingers when I wake. The promise is loss. The shallow mind of man is still animal at its core and he is unable to control it, no matter how much ’knowledge’ he tells himself he possesses! I see no civilization. No triumph of the will, for strife is all man seeds. A tree of hate that flower not but on our pain it feeds. Compassion feigned by selfishness, command all life to bleed. This body aches from all it’s seen but a force is strong within. |
|||
6. | Wake in Mourning | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
I carry the weight of unyielding loss. A future perplexed and I fear its true cost. Blacken the depths of the heart. Wake in mourning, surpass the most unspeakable odds. Decisive its menace, I sink and depart. Black the depths of the heart. I can’t inhale, no strength exists. To rise and continue as this anguish persists. Another sacrifice to some rancid god of Time. No footnote to write in the great book of life. Cold barbed wires, the poisoned hand of time. The sun slowly opens its funeral eye. Tired expression to soothe all the lies. A patient reminder of all that must die. I carry the weight of unyielding loss. Behind me, the night and all promising thoughts. Blacken the depths of the heart. No door, no key, no great escape. We live in search of freedom but are only guaranteed pain. I carry the weight of unyielding loss. A future perplexed and I fear its true cost. Blackened the depths of the heart. |
|||
7. | Memento Mori | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Every yearning glance. Every tender touch. Every calm exchange. Every hopeful plan. Every peaceful day. Every joyful yell. Every distant hill. Every faithful friend. Every open sky. Every laughing voice. Every cherished hope. Every patient smile. Every soft embrace. One day fades to silence. Momento Mori. |

1. | No Solitude | 02:31 | Show lyrics |
hello my friend / it had been so long i thought you’d forgotten me / much time has passed but i see that nothing’s changed / i must have climbed up every mountain / just to shout your death from their peaks / but again i see your face and now i know you’ll never leave | |||
2. | The Road from Recovery | 06:01 | Show lyrics |
chained to a path that leads to the end / try to escape but it’s best to pretend / i stray from the course, stumble back at the bend /...progress always leads to regression / there are visions in sleep but reality’s worse / you struggle for peace but are locked with this curse / start moving forward but end in reverse.../...progress always leads to depression / start from the end, if you look you will see / the regression / there are visions in sleep but reality’s worse, i struggle for peace but am locked with this curse / strain to push past but know you’ll end in reverse /...progress always leads to depression / face to face with what should not be / these words are all weapons aimed squarely at me / armed to the teeth, preparing for war / compounding with malice forevermore / there was a day we used to know / where we’d desire and it would be so / but though we know just what we see / we cannot reach it, we are too weak / despondent, corrosive, we circle the drain / my will falls to opposition, who’s left to blame / but the source of this compulsion? it lies within / simple actions and reactions halt what could have been / still we rise in opposition, denounce or fates / contradicted by our nature, which lies in wait / complete corruption of all we choose / because this body demands it always lose / overwhelmed by the world / overwhelmed by the truth / anxiety / can you feel it crashing down? / yes through this blood flows dedication / my serotonin turned and fled / fate gave up god, found depression / every fragile peace tempered by its hand | |||
3. | Quietly, Undramatically | 08:04 | Show lyrics |
i threw my last years away / to focus on reality’s thread / and when i collapse i know / the string will continue to wind / and with these words i make an oath that silence will outlast me / it stretches far beyond the place that history will know me / for as i sit, secure in what i know is now before me / i focus on the end and how i know that it will take me / quietly / undramatically / when you’re gone / frozen images dissolve, discarded / with certainty / the struggles that we face disappear, uncaring / with disregard / quietly time shuffles through the room, unknowing / with disregard / undramatically we’ll fade and then this won’t matter / breathe in, breathe out / no triumph to be found / like a stone cast to the sea / i will be forgotten / let this fade as a whimper against time / i will be forgotten / i will be forgotten / we will be forgotten | |||
4. | A Treatise on Control | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
the triumph of power exists as a lie / its control, a figment of all it denies / with pitiful gestures, we jump as it tries / to salvage the notion it comes from the sky / what knowledge precedes us, what failures held high / with this i admonish the longing that dies / they’ll tell you of battles you’ll exit alive / but know that these fragments of hope are all lies / we end and begin / outside and within / reduced to skin / the truth is thing / what hope shall change the flow of time? / this bone is lead, this curse is mine / here i stand, the lord of all i see / this kingdom is fire, it answers not to me / strained and torn / this i know: all that we are is but a blaze / we’re nothing but disciples of the wind / here i stand, the lord of all i see / this kingdom is fire, it answers not to me | |||
5. | Without Logic | 02:24 | Show lyrics |
summon your reasons / someone to blame / something that happened / it’s always the same / i hate the world i live in / i am the key to the end / life stifles me with reason / i will no longer pretend / my hate exists without logic / my rage was never explored / you should have seen this coming / now i will not be ignored / sanity’s rational chains come undone / i feel no pity, you will receive none / patience exhausted, no time to explain / all that i’m feeling and all that i say / a rational existence has taken its toll / the world’s been explained at the cost of my soul / a predictable planet’s preferred by the weak / i look deep inside and refuse now to think | |||
6. | Full Circle | 12:58 | Show lyrics |
some dreams are never too far away / they dance just on the edge of daylight / etched into your eyes, ghost movement in the peripheral / some thoughts are never too far away / they sit behind the daylight like shadows / tattooed on your skin, fingerprints of who you’ll be tomorrow / (oh) vicious engineer / if i believed, your name would be a curse / for what frigid loathing would inspire / this broken planet’s birth? / i would twist from your grasp / shudder against the coldness of your gaze / nothing would restore the absence of faith / we are alone / unable to change / marching in circles, we end as we begin / (oh_ callous overseer / if only in your image we were made / graced with indifference, this path would be so clear / uncaring, all-knowing, complete / but we are alone / and you were but a desperate dream / some meaning to offer / and i cannot believe / for we are alone / unable to change / marching in circles, we end as we begin /...the feelings rush back again so fast / like only moments passed / cinematic in their tension / but there i sit, frozen stiff / every word a cliché / time still laughs / "relax" she’ll coax / her face a twisted grin / "never will you be far from home" / you are never free / something deep inside still nags / like this light has met my face before / and we march on, afraid for i know we’ll always meet again |
|||
7. | Hatred Is Our Heart | 04:50 | Show lyrics |
surrender to this reason / my words will hang you high / this noose of cold indignance / will choke you till you die / your art has proven hollow / dull masks you can’t sustain / cause once the show is over / you change your fucking names / as flies flock to the rotten / you feed on putrid shit / living out your fantasies / and bragging about it! / see how far they run / watch them as they cry / ants, they run for cover / see how hard they try! / the stupid / the boring / the fair-weather friends / pretentious / obnoxious / they strive to pretend / with costumes / and gimmicks / they angle to shock / like children / they cherish / the lies that they bought / we will stand and continue to lash out / and you’ll know our names because / hatred is our heart / and / when the sun reappears and casts away the dark / we will rise and know that / hatred is our heart / and / we will rejoin the world and will walk amongst the crowds / but we will know that / hatred is our heart / and / there is no mask, no fake name, no poetry to hide behind / there is no game / yes, / hatred is our heart / / when these words are long forgotten / and these songs have gone away / i’ll continue what i started / and stand behind what i say / see how far they run / watch them as they cry / ants. they run for cover / see how hard they try! / condemned as our prey, there’s nowhere to hide / for this is the future you must realize / the hunters (unholy) have removed their masks / there’s no use for chains or rules of the past | |||

1. | This Is the End of the Story | 06:17 | Show lyrics |
This is the end of the story. The part that you don’t want to hear. The heros are dead, the atmosphere burning, the narrative fragmented, words are disjointed. I’m smashing apart every statue, concrete faces that weathered the storms. Condemned to the dust with indictments they cast. Those all-knowing sneers. Die, die. The city is filling with poison, like the air is somehow alive. Hope is lost, fade away into emptiness. Celebrate the steady decline. Crushing the facade of all dreams. I collapse from the weight of my nothingness. I realize that everything fails. It bores in me; I’m bored of it, aboard a ship that’s sinking and burning. My mouth fills with bile when I think of it, how the hatred consumes me alive. How many lifetimes spent in agony tearing at words that won’t rip? An image, permanent. Crushing the facade of all dreams. Succumb to pressure bearing down. The end, exhausted, I have found that loss is a fire that always burns. And with these words, I am consumed. Everything is undone. Let my place go absent. I gasp for air and choke on fumes. Rot and shit and fear and failure. (One last look at it, one last breathe of it.) Fuck all this pageantry, I’ll sing no more sweet words. Severed bones scream of silence. (Turn away. To the dust returned.) Crushing the facade of all dreams. With every second getting closer, life’s out of hand, I’m out of reach. Gaps in this conscience growing deeper still. I see no reason to push on. Hands in the shadows, pulling us down. Tragedy’s vessel. Solitude speaks through me. This is the ending. This is goodbye. This ends my confidence. This ends my pride. This is departure. This is defeat. This is a reckoning. I am now complete. |

2. | Carried by Waves to Remorseless Shores of the Truth | 07:04 | Show lyrics |
Spit from the river, we floated, adrift in yearning waves. An unending torrent of desperation. Emptiness, a raft. We clung with feeble hope, sweat into the air, screamed into the night. In pursuit forever, just drifting ever onward, no words to make this right. Warm in our hands were the tools of our destruction. Desire dripping from all pores. Waiting inside were the keys to raise the gates from every dam. Desire dripping from all pores. A yawning void with a furious pull. A secret demanding you learn. Heart pumping fast with the nearing of the kill. Desire dripped from all pores. Unrestrained violence propelled us through the night. The vicious degradation that robbed us of our pride. The fear; the power, hysterical hatred was thrusting ever forward. A pulsing presence that would be not be denied. A vulgar acquiescence to the horrors of the mind. for then, for always, a potent reminder that life is exploitation. I feel the terror both awake and in my dreams. the world has become smaller and I can’t escape your screams. The need, the horror, the compounding judgement of... Eyes are wide with fear and clothes are soaked from terror. Knowing death is near, their eyes are filled with horror. Every cell inside is calling my a liar. Nothing dulls the pain. Your eyes were filled with fire. (Solo: CG) Eyes are wide with fear and clothes are soaked from terror. Knowing death is near, their eyes are filled with horror. Every cell inside is calling me a liar. Nothing dulls the pain. Your eyes were filled with fire. Carnal pounding in my chest, a new desire. Everything was wrong. My words have become daggers. Fear replaces hope that drives you as a child. There is no turning back until this world is on fire. Carried by waves to remorseless shores of the truth. A predator lives inside of every man. It victimizes everything it can. It justifies its needs at your expense. We all fuck each other, there is no defense. We’re all fucked. There is no defense. |

3. | All Bridges Burned | 07:24 | Show lyrics |
Where do we go from here? When all lasting visions fade to scenes of how we’ve failed? When emptiness supplants promises made to last? When the road to progress drops away, reveals itself as a cliff to dive from? I have decided to leave. But with every hour, each answer leads to more questions asked. At what point is departure a worthy path? And with silence cast, how far reaches the fire left in my wake? I see the color fading from your eyes. I concentrate on the end. On nonexistence, the nothingness one cannot know. silent expanse stretching endlessly beyond time. An unending black meditation. To the dark I flee, eyes drawn to the night. I scream out but the words escape me. All the reason flees, nothing pure survives. Alone, I feel the energy envelop me. to the end I’m pulled, eyes drawn to the void, offering its union, silence, without price. voices floating near, faceless in the sky. A battle in my consciousnesses to push past all the doubt. Abandon all positions and seek solace in the ground. Melodramatic premonitions that the end would offer peace. Is it hope or is it terror that wards off this cold that summons me? (Solo: CG) To nothing we return. The final cost that life incurs, locked away to memory’s shackles. Where I go, there’s only loss. Chilling waves surrounding me, horrified by love’s embrace. "Death is all we can know Finality of what we’ve sown The aeons pass, all hope denied To the darkness joined with starless skies Death is all we can know As time goes on, complacence grows In servitude we waste away As if these things matter, as if anything lasts" I see the color fading from your eyes. Fear the unknown of the other side. Something’s got to change. I’m learning not to care. I’m never coming back. All bridges burned. Something’s got to change. I’m learning not to care. I’m never coming back. All bridges burned. |

4. | Ceaseless Jaws | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Need, she hides in the silence. Fantasizes about how you’ll touch. The warmth of your tears as she draws you near, over and over again. And you seeping wet mass Falling again Spilling out to circle the drain. She drinks you down and spits you out into so many pieces. Puddles of your ego. Stains of who you thought you were. Obsession stands just behind you, whispering into your ears. Knows all of the ways to guide you to relive your fears. Consumed and penetrated, compromised and beaten down. Alone and medicated, anchored tight to help you drown. Deep in this living tissue, frozen claws compel the mind. Some slaves, they choose their masters, others are born into their lives... Gather the wind. It won’t lift you up from where you’ve landed. Consumed by guilt. Faceless forces drain you empty. Covered in scars. Who can see the hooks that guide you? Helpless to change. Forced to kneel forever in the dirt. And in your proudest moments, swore you’d grow, swore you’d change. Such grandiose convictions. Who then, now, is left to blame? Eaten alive. Flesh torn from bone. You’re left a shell. Condemned as prey to compulsion’s ceaseless jaws. Need, she hides in the silence. Fantasizes about how you’ll touch. The warmth of your tears as she draws you near, over and over again. Obsession stands just behind you, whispering into your ears. Knows all of the ways to guide you. She knows all of your fears. |

5. | Song of My Undoing | 07:38 | Show lyrics |
When I was young, I believed that I’d be complete and one day I would see that life is beautiful. This calming belief, such an immature dream, as if time was a stream and peace its estuary. Yearned for release, hallucinating that the words of another could ease my frailty. Desperate to soothe the longing that hung from my bones like a skin, a wound, a sore, though finally closed, still burns. Simple meanings drawn from silence. Towards the edge of Sorrow’s open arms. Love, a frozen flame. These words will be my undoing. Trust, and with it came a promise of loss. Selfish urges bind together flesh and hope to pierce and weather. I think of you, I see your tears and anger. The freezing silence crashing down in bitter waves. Flesh fades away and I fear I’ll find these words will be my undoing. Love, a frozen flame. these words will be my undoing. Truth, and with it came a promise of loss. The sum of virtue is rot. Frozen, I have become porous, depraved, something born without a shadow. Fragments and memories, collapse into myself, feel these urges all dissolving. void that ingests our hopes reigns within these veins. Compulsion and confinement. Are these our final words? Labyrinthine exchange. Condemnation is the truest human form... Tragedy borne of human madness. Withdraw from the world and its lack of meaning. ripping it all down, this massive fucking tomb. Ravaged skies rain tears of nothing. I’m telling myself that there is only temporary grace and nothing is sacred. I tire of this journey, loathe its pretensions. Wasted hours carved in flesh. Remember my name for the hate that it brings. Discard the rest. Into the night, we were cast without a sound. to the darkness, where words are never found. Take my hand and be warm against my side. To the gallows where death will make things right. |

6. | Exhausted | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
Waste away, I’m breaking down. Who am I and how did this happen? Never thought I’d be this way. The ceiling’s low, I’m growing taller. Each day seems to be still longer. No escape, there’s no escape. Close my eyes, my head is pounding, searing knives that slice my skin. Every moment still worse than the last. "Fury, my friend, here we are again. You were never far away. Nothing’s really changed. The sky is still the same. The same dead fixtures, a different name. Hate draws you in, wishing for an end. How I plotted and I schemed. Living a lie, failing though I try. Teeth are falling out in my dreams." Nothing matters. Nothing... It’s a fraud, it’s a lie, nothing matters, still we try. Exhausted. I scream it with open arms. I give up and fade away to silent sleep. (Solo: BB) Hatred lights the way. A torch through the dark. Death can’t help but laugh and taunt us with eternal slumber. All our hopes and our dreams are sand beneath our feet. |

7. | Withdrawal | 03:39 | Show lyrics |
Crying out. Seeping down. Torn away, apart, alone. Clothes unwashed. Body numb. Words repeat in jagged circles. Drained of hope. Strength is gone. Eyes are fixed upon the ground. Chased by pain. Loss pervades. Frantic dark. Beg for rest. Withdrawal. |

departed, every sound is distant now and through it all, to it, i am claimed the air stinks of regret, skin is thick with it the planet spins, the world outside is still the same how do i live with this atrocity? who do i blame for this defeat? beg, plead, scream, there’s no compromise the world is damaged and there’s nothing i can change obscene, the day and the sunlight that it brings the past and the future, the sentiment it clings to and now i question moment i question every word the regret, the absence, the feelings of absurdity that stricken me with weakness that sap me of my pride it tears, it tears, it punishes the living who would hide disease, defeat, the violence that renders every life inert to undo all the suffering, to undo all the hurt and there is nothing that i wouldn’t sacrifice just to save you from the earth i regret every word said i regret every word unsaid i regret every day spent i regret every day not spent we’re all alone i know we’ve always been did you leave knowing the ghost that haunts us here? did you know that fragments of you would follow me? we’re broken down but the world refuses to see and the world is out of tune i feel it in my bones condemned with regret we’re left to mourn for the ones we lost and the ones we failed to save |

1. | Solitude | 09:01 | Show lyrics |
Cackling past, I curse your echoing voice. I have become the air that was so cold. The final form surrounding that which we never have known. So bleak it is that nothing will escape. The enemy of all that was and all that should have been. The unfeeling Earth was never this aware. A piece of me is dying and I somehow do not care. No victory or strength to battle this and hope for life. We hold our breath and close our eyes and now lay down to die. I question that which guides my every step. No God exists to place the blame, it solely lies within. My feeble heart is blackened from the worthlessness of life. I hold my breath and close my eyes and now lay down to die. Do you still ring with the pain of the words not forgotten that hide in my shadow like so many faded days? How your anguish persists, it still gnaws at my heart. These memories will chase me eternal and grant me no... Solitude. A single voice still lingers. |

2. | Alone with Our Failures | 04:03 | Show lyrics |
Faceless summer night. I call out from the shadows. Empty now, the barren streets summon scenes. Here a blackened future lies. Condemn this shallow world to wallow in its sadness. Broken now, the city bleeds a noxious blood and slowly dies. I pretend that I am more. A rotten pretense to the chains I wear. An empty lie of sullen safe from the claws of the beast of which I am part. And here is no sound acknowledging darkness. We stand on hollow ground. And scream the hopeless. We live as cancer breeds. Can you see beyond your eyes? There is no renewal on this Earth. No solution beyond a mass grave. A spell for the death of man. A spell for disease we’ve never known. Dispel all myths of hope and joy. Unleash the beast we hold within. A spell for the death of man. A spell for disease we’ve never known. Dispel all myths of hope and joy. Unleash the beast we hold within. Alone with our failures. [x4] |

3. | Longing Is All That Will Remain | 07:16 | Show lyrics |
Let those who wake despair upon the night. For through it all they loved has turned to gray. Like the ever-fading memories of all we hoped be. In an instant lost to waters deep forever more to keep. This loss pervades the spirit. A spectre of doubt in every breath. A second from failure. A lifetime of doubt. Confident in the permanence of the moment. Trusting in the encouragement of actuality. But all we have will one day slip away as the past tense replaces the present. Time slips right through our grasp. And laughs as it leaves. Singing with triumphant might, "The way things are is not how they shall be. On trust this fact." This is a light in the sky that blinds those who foolishly look. This knowledge corrupts us. Let those condemned with life confess this sin: they believe that truth is lasting. But every truth must one day turn to dust. Must only self-destruction be reality? This loss envelops the being. For every hope is fleeting. A second from failure. A lifetime of doubt. In this I trust: all things will fade but longing. All we have will one day pass. And laugh as it leaves. Singing with triumphant might, "All roads lead to me and nothing escapes my grasp. One day, you will succumb." |

4. | Condemned as Prey | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes. "Breath deep," she says, "For I am forever throughout this world." She is the creeping shadow cast by every winter’s moon. Frigid darkness to chill the fragile skin of man, condemned as prey to her unyielding hunger. The world is cleansed by Sorrow’s touch. Devoured, flesh. Devoured, bone. Condemned as prey. All hope dismissed as fallacy, a truth known beyond words. A curse upon Serenity, who clings to shallow truths. This ghost will stalk reality ’round every darkened curve. The true face of humanity, we get what we deserve. Sorrow chokes the air and fills the mouth with words of anguish. "Speak with ease," she laughs, "for I will always guide your tongue." Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes. "Breath deep," she says, "For I am throughout this world." Condemned as prey. |

5. | I See No Civilization | 07:54 | Show lyrics |
Please grant me this one wish: This skin will never burn. Let the bones collapse like every body must but let the form escape the ravage that come. A guarantee of every interaction. Necessity, perhaps, of this human complication. This world breed pain and suffering. I fear this dedication. Await the day my name is changed to meaningless distraction. Perhaps we’ve seen too much. Perhaps we’ve gone too far. Perhaps we’ve seen too much. Perhaps we’ve gone too far. A first against the collective hopes of man. One crushing blow for every glorious stance. If hope is truth, failure is fact. Despite our dreams, conflict is true contact. Wait for the day when my name becomes a curse upon your lips. It will dig into my core and haunt me as I walk, a ghost upon this Earth. A voice still lingers when I wake. The promise is loss. The shallow mind of man is still animal at its core and he is unable to control it, no matter how much ’knowledge’ he tells himself he possesses! I see no civilization. No triumph of the will, for strife is all man seeds. A tree of hate that flower not but on our pain it feeds. Compassion feigned by selfishness, command all life to bleed. This body aches from all it’s seen but a force is strong within. |

6. | Wake in Mourning | 04:18 | Show lyrics |
I carry the weight of unyielding loss. A future perplexed and I fear its true cost. Blacken the depths of the heart. Wake in mourning, surpass the most unspeakable odds. Decisive its menace, I sink and depart. Black the depths of the heart. I can’t inhale, no strength exists. To rise and continue as this anguish persists. Another sacrifice to some rancid god of Time. No footnote to write in the great book of life. Cold barbed wires, the poisoned hand of time. The sun slowly opens its funeral eye. Tired expression to soothe all the lies. A patient reminder of all that must die. I carry the weight of unyielding loss. Behind me, the night and all promising thoughts. Blacken the depths of the heart. No door, no key, no great escape. We live in search of freedom but are only guaranteed pain. I carry the weight of unyielding loss. A future perplexed and I fear its true cost. Blackened the depths of the heart. |

7. | Memento Mori | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
Every yearning glance. Every tender touch. Every calm exchange. Every hopeful plan. Every peaceful day. Every joyful yell. Every distant hill. Every faithful friend. Every open sky. Every laughing voice. Every cherished hope. Every patient smile. Every soft embrace. One day fades to silence. Momento Mori. |

It will dig into my core and haunt me as I walk, a ghost upon this Earth. A voice still lingers when I wake. The promise is loss. The shallow mind of man is still animal at its core and he is unable to control it, no matter how much ’knowledge’ he tells himself he possesses! I see no civilization. No triumph of the will, for strife is all man seeds. A tree of hate that flower not but on our pain it feeds. Compassion feigned by selfishness, command all life to bleed. This body aches from all it’s seen but a force is strong within. |

6. | Wake in Mourning | 04:20 | Show lyrics |
I carry the weight of unyielding loss. A future perplexed and I fear its true cost. Blacken the depths of the heart. Wake in mourning, surpass the most unspeakable odds. Decisive its menace, I sink and depart. Black the depths of the heart. I can’t inhale, no strength exists. To rise and continue as this anguish persists. Another sacrifice to some rancid god of Time. No footnote to write in the great book of life. Cold barbed wires, the poisoned hand of time. The sun slowly opens its funeral eye. Tired expression to soothe all the lies. A patient reminder of all that must die. I carry the weight of unyielding loss. Behind me, the night and all promising thoughts. Blacken the depths of the heart. No door, no key, no great escape. We live in search of freedom but are only guaranteed pain. I carry the weight of unyielding loss. A future perplexed and I fear its true cost. Blackened the depths of the heart. |

7. | Memento Mori | 05:33 | Show lyrics |
Every yearning glance. Every tender touch. Every calm exchange. Every hopeful plan. Every peaceful day. Every joyful yell. Every distant hill. Every faithful friend. Every open sky. Every laughing voice. Every cherished hope. Every patient smile. Every soft embrace. One day fades to silence. Momento Mori. |

1. | Solitude | 09:01 | Show lyrics |
Cackling past, I curse your echoing voice. I have become the air that was so cold. The final form surrounding that which we never have known. So bleak it is that nothing will escape. The enemy of all that was and all that should have been. The unfeeling Earth was never this aware. A piece of me is dying and I somehow do not care. No victory or strength to battle this and hope for life. We hold our breath and close our eyes and now lay down to die. I question that which guides my every step. No God exists to place the blame, it solely lies within. My feeble heart is blackened from the worthlessness of life. I hold my breath and close my eyes and now lay down to die. Do you still ring with the pain of the words not forgotten that hide in my shadow like so many faded days? How your anguish persists, it still gnaws at my heart. These memories will chase me eternal and grant me no... Solitude. A single voice still lingers. |
|||
2. | Alone with Our Failures | 04:03 | Show lyrics |
Faceless summer night. I call out from the shadows. Empty now, the barren streets summon scenes. Here a blackened future lies. Condemn this shallow world to wallow in its sadness. Broken now, the city bleeds a noxious blood and slowly dies. I pretend that I am more. A rotten pretense to the chains I wear. An empty lie of sullen safe from the claws of the beast of which I am part. And here is no sound acknowledging darkness. We stand on hollow ground. And scream the hopeless. We live as cancer breeds. Can you see beyond your eyes? There is no renewal on this Earth. No solution beyond a mass grave. A spell for the death of man. A spell for disease we’ve never known. Dispel all myths of hope and joy. Unleash the beast we hold within. A spell for the death of man. A spell for disease we’ve never known. Dispel all myths of hope and joy. Unleash the beast we hold within. Alone with our failures. [x4] |

3. | Longing Is All That Will Remain | 07:16 | Show lyrics |
Let those who wake despair upon the night. For through it all they loved has turned to gray. Like the ever-fading memories of all we hoped be. In an instant lost to waters deep forever more to keep. This loss pervades the spirit. A spectre of doubt in every breath. A second from failure. A lifetime of doubt. Confident in the permanence of the moment. Trusting in the encouragement of actuality. But all we have will one day slip away as the past tense replaces the present. Time slips right through our grasp. And laughs as it leaves. Singing with triumphant might, "The way things are is not how they shall be. On trust this fact." This is a light in the sky that blinds those who foolishly look. This knowledge corrupts us. Let those condemned with life confess this sin: they believe that truth is lasting. But every truth must one day turn to dust. Must only self-destruction be reality? This loss envelops the being. For every hope is fleeting. A second from failure. A lifetime of doubt. In this I trust: all things will fade but longing. All we have will one day pass. And laugh as it leaves. Singing with triumphant might, "All roads lead to me and nothing escapes my grasp. One day, you will succumb." |

4. | Condemned as Prey | 05:04 | Show lyrics |
Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes. "Breath deep," she says, "For I am forever throughout this world." She is the creeping shadow cast by every winter’s moon. Frigid darkness to chill the fragile skin of man, condemned as prey to her unyielding hunger. The world is cleansed by Sorrow’s touch. Devoured, flesh. Devoured, bone. Condemned as prey. All hope dismissed as fallacy, a truth known beyond words. A curse upon Serenity, who clings to shallow truths. This ghost will stalk reality ’round every darkened curve. The true face of humanity, we get what we deserve. Sorrow chokes the air and fills the mouth with words of anguish. "Speak with ease," she laughs, "for I will always guide your tongue." Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes. "Breath deep," she says, "For I am throughout this world." Condemned as prey. |

5. | I See No Civilization | 07:54 | Show lyrics |
Please grant me this one wish: This skin will never burn. Let the bones collapse like every body must but let the form escape the ravage that come. A guarantee of every interaction. Necessity, perhaps, of this human complication. This world breed pain and suffering. I fear this dedication. Await the day my name is changed to meaningless distraction. Perhaps we’ve seen too much. Perhaps we’ve gone too far. Perhaps we’ve seen too much. Perhaps we’ve gone too far. A first against the collective hopes of man. One crushing blow for every glorious stance. If hope is truth, failure is fact. Despite our dreams, conflict is true contact. Wait for the day when my name becomes a curse upon your lips. It will dig into my core and haunt me as I walk, a ghost upon this Earth. A voice still lingers when I wake. The promise is loss.

1. | No Solitude | 02:31 | Show lyrics |
hello my friend / it had been so long i thought you’d forgotten me / much time has passed but i see that nothing’s changed / i must have climbed up every mountain / just to shout your death from their peaks / but again i see your face and now i know you’ll never leave | |||
2. | The Road from Recovery | 06:01 | Show lyrics |
chained to a path that leads to the end / try to escape but it’s best to pretend / i stray from the course, stumble back at the bend /...progress always leads to regression / there are visions in sleep but reality’s worse / you struggle for peace but are locked with this curse / start moving forward but end in reverse.../...progress always leads to depression / start from the end, if you look you will see / the regression / there are visions in sleep but reality’s worse, i struggle for peace but am locked with this curse / strain to push past but know you’ll end in reverse /...progress always leads to depression / face to face with what should not be / these words are all weapons aimed squarely at me / armed to the teeth, preparing for war / compounding with malice forevermore / there was a day we used to know / where we’d desire and it would be so / but though we know just what we see / we cannot reach it, we are too weak / despondent, corrosive, we circle the drain / my will falls to opposition, who’s left to blame / but the source of this compulsion? it lies within / simple actions and reactions halt what could have been / still we rise in opposition, denounce or fates / contradicted by our nature, which lies in wait / complete corruption of all we choose / because this body demands it always lose / overwhelmed by the world / overwhelmed by the truth / anxiety / can you feel it crashing down? / yes through this blood flows dedication / my serotonin turned and fled / fate gave up god, found depression / every fragile peace tempered by its hand | |||
3. | Quietly, Undramatically | 08:04 | Show lyrics |
i threw my last years away / to focus on reality’s thread / and when i collapse i know / the string will continue to wind / and with these words i make an oath that silence will outlast me / it stretches far beyond the place that history will know me / for as i sit, secure in what i know is now before me / i focus on the end and how i know that it will take me / quietly / undramatically / when you’re gone / frozen images dissolve, discarded / with certainty / the struggles that we face disappear, uncaring / with disregard / quietly time shuffles through the room, unknowing / with disregard / undramatically we’ll fade and then this won’t matter / breathe in, breathe out / no triumph to be found / like a stone cast to the sea / i will be forgotten / let this fade as a whimper against time / i will be forgotten / i will be forgotten / we will be forgotten | |||
4. | A Treatise on Control | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
the triumph of power exists as a lie / its control, a figment of all it denies / with pitiful gestures, we jump as it tries / to salvage the notion it comes from the sky / what knowledge precedes us, what failures held high / with this i admonish the longing that dies / they’ll tell you of battles you’ll exit alive / but know that these fragments of hope are all lies / we end and begin / outside and within / reduced to skin / the truth is thing / what hope shall change the flow of time? / this bone is lead, this curse is mine / here i stand, the lord of all i see / this kingdom is fire, it answers not to me / strained and torn / this i know: all that we are is but a blaze / we’re nothing but disciples of the wind / here i stand, the lord of all i see / this kingdom is fire, it answers not to me | |||
5. | Without Logic | 02:24 | Show lyrics |
summon your reasons / someone to blame / something that happened / it’s always the same / i hate the world i live in / i am the key to the end / life stifles me with reason / i will no longer pretend / my hate exists without logic / my rage was never explored / you should have seen this coming / now i will not be ignored / sanity’s rational chains come undone / i feel no pity, you will receive none / patience exhausted, no time to explain / all that i’m feeling and all that i say / a rational existence has taken its toll / the world’s been explained at the cost of my soul / a predictable planet’s preferred by the weak / i look deep inside and refuse now to think | |||
6. | Full Circle | 12:58 | Show lyrics |
some dreams are never too far away / they dance just on the edge of daylight / etched into your eyes, ghost movement in the peripheral / some thoughts are never too far away / they sit behind the daylight like shadows / tattooed on your skin, fingerprints of who you’ll be tomorrow / (oh) vicious engineer / if i believed, your name would be a curse / for what frigid loathing would inspire / this broken planet’s birth? / i would twist from your grasp / shudder against the coldness of your gaze / nothing would restore the absence of faith / we are alone / unable to change / marching in circles, we end as we begin / (oh_ callous overseer / if only in your image we were made / graced with indifference, this path would be so clear / uncaring, all-knowing, complete / but we are alone / and you were but a desperate dream / some meaning to offer / and i cannot believe / for we are alone / unable to change / marching in circles, we end as we begin /...the feelings rush back again so fast / like only moments passed / cinematic in their tension / but there i sit, frozen stiff / every word a cliché / time still laughs / "relax" she’ll coax / her face a twisted grin / "never will you be far from home" / you are never free / something deep inside still nags / like this light has met my face before / and we march on, afraid for i know we’ll always meet again |

7. | Hatred Is Our Heart | 04:50 | Show lyrics |
surrender to this reason / my words will hang you high / this noose of cold indignance / will choke you till you die / your art has proven hollow / dull masks you can’t sustain / cause once the show is over / you change your fucking names / as flies flock to the rotten / you feed on putrid shit / living out your fantasies / and bragging about it! / see how far they run / watch them as they cry / ants, they run for cover / see how hard they try! / the stupid / the boring / the fair-weather friends / pretentious / obnoxious / they strive to pretend / with costumes / and gimmicks / they angle to shock / like children / they cherish / the lies that they bought / we will stand and continue to lash out / and you’ll know our names because / hatred is our heart / and / when the sun reappears and casts away the dark / we will rise and know that / hatred is our heart / and / we will rejoin the world and will walk amongst the crowds / but we will know that / hatred is our heart / and / there is no mask, no fake name, no poetry to hide behind / there is no game / yes, / hatred is our heart / / when these words are long forgotten / and these songs have gone away / i’ll continue what i started / and stand behind what i say / see how far they run / watch them as they cry / ants. they run for cover / see how hard they try! / condemned as our prey, there’s nowhere to hide / for this is the future you must realize / the hunters (unholy) have removed their masks / there’s no use for chains or rules of the past | |||

1. | No Solitude | 02:31 | Show lyrics |
hello my friend / it had been so long i thought you’d forgotten me / much time has passed but i see that nothing’s changed / i must have climbed up every mountain / just to shout your death from their peaks / but again i see your face and now i know you’ll never leave | |||
2. | The Road from Recovery | 06:01 | Show lyrics |
chained to a path that leads to the end / try to escape but it’s best to pretend / i stray from the course, stumble back at the bend /...progress always leads to regression / there are visions in sleep but reality’s worse / you struggle for peace but are locked with this curse / start moving forward but end in reverse.../...progress always leads to depression / start from the end, if you look you will see / the regression / there are visions in sleep but reality’s worse, i struggle for peace but am locked with this curse / strain to push past but know you’ll end in reverse /...progress always leads to depression / face to face with what should not be / these words are all weapons aimed squarely at me / armed to the teeth, preparing for war / compounding with malice forevermore / there was a day we used to know / where we’d desire and it would be so / but though we know just what we see / we cannot reach it, we are too weak / despondent, corrosive, we circle the drain / my will falls to opposition, who’s left to blame / but the source of this compulsion? it lies within / simple actions and reactions halt what could have been / still we rise in opposition, denounce or fates / contradicted by our nature, which lies in wait / complete corruption of all we choose / because this body demands it always lose / overwhelmed by the world / overwhelmed by the truth / anxiety / can you feel it crashing down? / yes through this blood flows dedication / my serotonin turned and fled / fate gave up god, found depression / every fragile peace tempered by its hand | |||
3. | Quietly, Undramatically | 08:04 | Show lyrics |
i threw my last years away / to focus on reality’s thread / and when i collapse i know / the string will continue to wind / and with these words i make an oath that silence will outlast me / it stretches far beyond the place that history will know me / for as i sit, secure in what i know is now before me / i focus on the end and how i know that it will take me / quietly / undramatically / when you’re gone / frozen images dissolve, discarded / with certainty / the struggles that we face disappear, uncaring / with disregard / quietly time shuffles through the room, unknowing / with disregard / undramatically we’ll fade and then this won’t matter / breathe in, breathe out / no triumph to be found / like a stone cast to the sea / i will be forgotten / let this fade as a whimper against time / i will be forgotten / i will be forgotten / we will be forgotten | |||
4. | A Treatise on Control | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
the triumph of power exists as a lie / its control, a figment of all it denies / with pitiful gestures, we jump as it tries / to salvage the notion it comes from the sky / what knowledge precedes us, what failures held high / with this i admonish the longing that dies / they’ll tell you of battles you’ll exit alive / but know that these fragments of hope are all lies / we end and begin / outside and within / reduced to skin / the truth is thing / what hope shall change the flow of time? / this bone is lead, this curse is mine / here i stand, the lord of all i see / this kingdom is fire, it answers not to me / strained and torn / this i know: all that we are is but a blaze / we’re nothing but disciples of the wind / here i stand, the lord of all i see / this kingdom is fire, it answers not to me | |||
5. | Without Logic | 02:24 | Show lyrics |
summon your reasons / someone to blame / something that happened / it’s always the same / i hate the world i live in / i am the key to the end / life stifles me with reason / i will no longer pretend / my hate exists without logic / my rage was never explored / you should have seen this coming / now i will not be ignored / sanity’s rational chains come undone / i feel no pity, you will receive none / patience exhausted, no time to explain / all that i’m feeling and all that i say / a rational existence has taken its toll / the world’s been explained at the cost of my soul / a predictable planet’s preferred by the weak / i look deep inside and refuse now to think | |||
6. | Full Circle | 12:59 | Show lyrics |
some dreams are never too far away / they dance just on the edge of daylight / etched into your eyes, ghost movement in the peripheral / some thoughts are never too far away / they sit behind the daylight like shadows / tattooed on your skin, fingerprints of who you’ll be tomorrow / (oh) vicious engineer / if i believed, your name would be a curse / for what frigid loathing would inspire / this broken planet’s birth? / i would twist from your grasp / shudder against the coldness of your gaze / nothing would restore the absence of faith / we are alone / unable to change / marching in circles, we end as we begin / (oh_ callous overseer / if only in your image we were made / graced with indifference, this path would be so clear / uncaring, all-knowing, complete / but we are alone / and you were but a desperate dream / some meaning to offer / and i cannot believe / for we are alone / unable to change / marching in circles, we end as we begin /...the feelings rush back again so fast / like only moments passed / cinematic in their tension / but there i sit, frozen stiff / every word a cliché / time still laughs / "relax" she’ll coax / her face a twisted grin / "never will you be far from home" / you are never free / something deep inside still nags / like this light has met my face before / and we march on, afraid for i know we’ll always meet again |
|||
7. | Hatred Is Our Heart | 04:50 | Show lyrics |
surrender to this reason / my words will hang you high / this noose of cold indignance / will choke you till you die / your art has proven hollow / dull masks you can’t sustain / cause once the show is over / you change your fucking names / as flies flock to the rotten / you feed on putrid shit / living out your fantasies / and bragging about it! / see how far they run / watch them as they cry / ants, they run for cover / see how hard they try! / the stupid / the boring / the fair-weather friends / pretentious / obnoxious / they strive to pretend / with costumes / and gimmicks / they angle to shock / like children / they cherish / the lies that they bought / we will stand and continue to lash out / and you’ll know our names because / hatred is our heart / and / when the sun reappears and casts away the dark / we will rise and know that / hatred is our heart / and / we will rejoin the world and will walk amongst the crowds / but we will know that / hatred is our heart / and / there is no mask, no fake name, no poetry to hide behind / there is no game / yes, / hatred is our heart / / when these words are long forgotten / and these songs have gone away / i’ll continue what i started / and stand behind what i say / see how far they run / watch them as they cry / ants. they run for cover / see how hard they try! / condemned as our prey, there’s nowhere to hide / for this is the future you must realize / the hunters (unholy) have removed their masks / there’s no use for chains or rules of the past | |||

1. | This Is the End of the Story | 06:17 | Show lyrics |
This is the end of the story. The part that you don’t want to hear. The heros are dead, the atmosphere burning, the narrative fragmented, words are disjointed. I’m smashing apart every statue, concrete faces that weathered the storms. Condemned to the dust with indictments they cast. Those all-knowing sneers. Die, die. The city is filling with poison, like the air is somehow alive. Hope is lost, fade away into emptiness. Celebrate the steady decline. Crushing the facade of all dreams. I collapse from the weight of my nothingness. I realize that everything fails. It bores in me; I’m bored of it, aboard a ship that’s sinking and burning. My mouth fills with bile when I think of it, how the hatred consumes me alive. How many lifetimes spent in agony tearing at words that won’t rip? An image, permanent. Crushing the facade of all dreams. Succumb to pressure bearing down. The end, exhausted, I have found that loss is a fire that always burns. And with these words, I am consumed. Everything is undone. Let my place go absent. I gasp for air and choke on fumes. Rot and shit and fear and failure. (One last look at it, one last breathe of it.) Fuck all this pageantry, I’ll sing no more sweet words. Severed bones scream of silence. (Turn away. To the dust returned.) Crushing the facade of all dreams. With every second getting closer, life’s out of hand, I’m out of reach. Gaps in this conscience growing deeper still. I see no reason to push on. Hands in the shadows, pulling us down. Tragedy’s vessel. Solitude speaks through me. This is the ending. This is goodbye. This ends my confidence. This ends my pride. This is departure. This is defeat. This is a reckoning. I am now complete. |

2. | Carried by Waves to Remorseless Shores of the Truth | 07:04 | Show lyrics |
Spit from the river, we floated, adrift in yearning waves. An unending torrent of desperation. Emptiness, a raft. We clung with feeble hope, sweat into the air, screamed into the night. In pursuit forever, just drifting ever onward, no words to make this right. Warm in our hands were the tools of our destruction. Desire dripping from all pores. Waiting inside were the keys to raise the gates from every dam. Desire dripping from all pores. A yawning void with a furious pull. A secret demanding you learn. Heart pumping fast with the nearing of the kill. Desire dripped from all pores. Unrestrained violence propelled us through the night. The vicious degradation that robbed us of our pride. The fear; the power, hysterical hatred was thrusting ever forward. A pulsing presence that would be not be denied. A vulgar acquiescence to the horrors of the mind. for then, for always, a potent reminder that life is exploitation. I feel the terror both awake and in my dreams. the world has become smaller and I can’t escape your screams. The need, the horror, the compounding judgement of... Eyes are wide with fear and clothes are soaked from terror. Knowing death is near, their eyes are filled with horror. Every cell inside is calling my a liar. Nothing dulls the pain. Your eyes were filled with fire. (Solo: CG) Eyes are wide with fear and clothes are soaked from terror. Knowing death is near, their eyes are filled with horror. Every cell inside is calling me a liar. Nothing dulls the pain. Your eyes were filled with fire. Carnal pounding in my chest, a new desire. Everything was wrong. My words have become daggers. Fear replaces hope that drives you as a child. There is no turning back until this world is on fire. Carried by waves to remorseless shores of the truth. A predator lives inside of every man. It victimizes everything it can. It justifies its needs at your expense. We all fuck each other, there is no defense. We’re all fucked. There is no defense. |

3. | All Bridges Burned | 07:24 | Show lyrics |
Where do we go from here? When all lasting visions fade to scenes of how we’ve failed? When emptiness supplants promises made to last? When the road to progress drops away, reveals itself as a cliff to dive from? I have decided to leave. But with every hour, each answer leads to more questions asked. At what point is departure a worthy path? And with silence cast, how far reaches the fire left in my wake? I see the color fading from your eyes. I concentrate on the end. On nonexistence, the nothingness one cannot know. silent expanse stretching endlessly beyond time. An unending black meditation. To the dark I flee, eyes drawn to the night. I scream out but the words escape me. All the reason flees, nothing pure survives. Alone, I feel the energy envelop me. to the end I’m pulled, eyes drawn to the void, offering its union, silence, without price. voices floating near, faceless in the sky. A battle in my consciousnesses to push past all the doubt. Abandon all positions and seek solace in the ground. Melodramatic premonitions that the end would offer peace. Is it hope or is it terror that wards off this cold that summons me? (Solo: CG) To nothing we return. The final cost that life incurs, locked away to memory’s shackles. Where I go, there’s only loss. Chilling waves surrounding me, horrified by love’s embrace. "Death is all we can know Finality of what we’ve sown The aeons pass, all hope denied To the darkness joined with starless skies Death is all we can know As time goes on, complacence grows In servitude we waste away As if these things matter, as if anything lasts" I see the color fading from your eyes. Fear the unknown of the other side. Something’s got to change. I’m learning not to care. I’m never coming back. All bridges burned. Something’s got to change. I’m learning not to care. I’m never coming back. All bridges burned. |

4. | Ceaseless Jaws | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Need, she hides in the silence. Fantasizes about how you’ll touch. The warmth of your tears as she draws you near, over and over again. And you seeping wet mass Falling again Spilling out to circle the drain. She drinks you down and spits you out into so many pieces. Puddles of your ego. Stains of who you thought you were. Obsession stands just behind you, whispering into your ears. Knows all of the ways to guide you to relive your fears. Consumed and penetrated, compromised and beaten down. Alone and medicated, anchored tight to help you drown. Deep in this living tissue, frozen claws compel the mind. Some slaves, they choose their masters, others are born into their lives... Gather the wind. It won’t lift you up from where you’ve landed. Consumed by guilt. Faceless forces drain you empty. Covered in scars. Who can see the hooks that guide you? Helpless to change. Forced to kneel forever in the dirt. And in your proudest moments, swore you’d grow, swore you’d change. Such grandiose convictions. Who then, now, is left to blame? Eaten alive. Flesh torn from bone. You’re left a shell. Condemned as prey to compulsion’s ceaseless jaws. Need, she hides in the silence. Fantasizes about how you’ll touch. The warmth of your tears as she draws you near, over and over again. Obsession stands just behind you, whispering into your ears. Knows all of the ways to guide you. She knows all of your fears. |

5. | Song of My Undoing | 07:38 | Show lyrics |
When I was young, I believed that I’d be complete and one day I would see that life is beautiful. This calming belief, such an immature dream, as if time was a stream and peace its estuary. Yearned for release, hallucinating that the words of another could ease my frailty. Desperate to soothe the longing that hung from my bones like a skin, a wound, a sore, though finally closed, still burns. Simple meanings drawn from silence. Towards the edge of Sorrow’s open arms. Love, a frozen flame. These words will be my undoing. Trust, and with it came a promise of loss. Selfish urges bind together flesh and hope to pierce and weather. I think of you, I see your tears and anger. The freezing silence crashing down in bitter waves. Flesh fades away and I fear I’ll find these words will be my undoing. Love, a frozen flame. these words will be my undoing. Truth, and with it came a promise of loss. The sum of virtue is rot. Frozen, I have become porous, depraved, something born without a shadow. Fragments and memories, collapse into myself, feel these urges all dissolving. void that ingests our hopes reigns within these veins. Compulsion and confinement. Are these our final words? Labyrinthine exchange. Condemnation is the truest human form... Tragedy borne of human madness. Withdraw from the world and its lack of meaning. ripping it all down, this massive fucking tomb. Ravaged skies rain tears of nothing. I’m telling myself that there is only temporary grace and nothing is sacred. I tire of this journey, loathe its pretensions. Wasted hours carved in flesh. Remember my name for the hate that it brings. Discard the rest. Into the night, we were cast without a sound. to the darkness, where words are never found. Take my hand and be warm against my side. To the gallows where death will make things right. |

6. | Exhausted | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
Waste away, I’m breaking down. Who am I and how did this happen? Never thought I’d be this way. The ceiling’s low, I’m growing taller. Each day seems to be still longer. No escape, there’s no escape. Close my eyes, my head is pounding, searing knives that slice my skin. Every moment still worse than the last. "Fury, my friend, here we are again. You were never far away. Nothing’s really changed. The sky is still the same. The same dead fixtures, a different name. Hate draws you in, wishing for an end. How I plotted and I schemed. Living a lie, failing though I try. Teeth are falling out in my dreams." Nothing matters. Nothing... It’s a fraud, it’s a lie, nothing matters, still we try. Exhausted. I scream it with open arms. I give up and fade away to silent sleep. (Solo: BB) Hatred lights the way. A torch through the dark. Death can’t help but laugh and taunt us with eternal slumber. All our hopes and our dreams are sand beneath our feet. |

7. | Withdrawal | 03:39 | Show lyrics |
Crying out. Seeping down. Torn away, apart, alone. Clothes unwashed. Body numb. Words repeat in jagged circles. Drained of hope. Strength is gone. Eyes are fixed upon the ground. Chased by pain. Loss pervades. Frantic dark. Beg for rest. Withdrawal. |

A vulgar acquiescence to the horrors of the mind. for then, for always, a potent reminder that life is exploitation. I feel the terror both awake and in my dreams. the world has become smaller and I can’t escape your screams. The need, the horror, the compounding judgement of... Eyes are wide with fear and clothes are soaked from terror. Knowing death is near, their eyes are filled with horror. Every cell inside is calling my a liar. Nothing dulls the pain. Your eyes were filled with fire. (Solo: CG) Eyes are wide with fear and clothes are soaked from terror. Knowing death is near, their eyes are filled with horror. Every cell inside is calling me a liar. Nothing dulls the pain. Your eyes were filled with fire. Carnal pounding in my chest, a new desire. Everything was wrong. My words have become daggers. Fear replaces hope that drives you as a child. There is no turning back until this world is on fire. Carried by waves to remorseless shores of the truth. A predator lives inside of every man. It victimizes everything it can. It justifies its needs at your expense. We all fuck each other, there is no defense. We’re all fucked. There is no defense. |

3. | All Bridges Burned | 07:24 | Show lyrics |
Where do we go from here? When all lasting visions fade to scenes of how we’ve failed? When emptiness supplants promises made to last? When the road to progress drops away, reveals itself as a cliff to dive from? I have decided to leave. But with every hour, each answer leads to more questions asked. At what point is departure a worthy path? And with silence cast, how far reaches the fire left in my wake? I see the color fading from your eyes. I concentrate on the end. On nonexistence, the nothingness one cannot know. silent expanse stretching endlessly beyond time. An unending black meditation. To the dark I flee, eyes drawn to the night. I scream out but the words escape me. All the reason flees, nothing pure survives. Alone, I feel the energy envelop me. to the end I’m pulled, eyes drawn to the void, offering its union, silence, without price. voices floating near, faceless in the sky. A battle in my consciousnesses to push past all the doubt. Abandon all positions and seek solace in the ground. Melodramatic premonitions that the end would offer peace. Is it hope or is it terror that wards off this cold that summons me? (Solo: CG) To nothing we return. The final cost that life incurs, locked away to memory’s shackles. Where I go, there’s only loss. Chilling waves surrounding me, horrified by love’s embrace. "Death is all we can know Finality of what we’ve sown The aeons pass, all hope denied To the darkness joined with starless skies Death is all we can know As time goes on, complacence grows In servitude we waste away As if these things matter, as if anything lasts" I see the color fading from your eyes. Fear the unknown of the other side. Something’s got to change. I’m learning not to care. I’m never coming back. All bridges burned. Something’s got to change. I’m learning not to care. I’m never coming back. All bridges burned. |

4. | Ceaseless Jaws | 05:08 | Show lyrics |
Need, she hides in the silence. Fantasizes about how you’ll touch. The warmth of your tears as she draws you near, over and over again. And you seeping wet mass Falling again Spilling out to circle the drain. She drinks you down and spits you out into so many pieces. Puddles of your ego. Stains of who you thought you were. Obsession stands just behind you, whispering into your ears. Knows all of the ways to guide you to relive your fears. Consumed and penetrated, compromised and beaten down. Alone and medicated, anchored tight to help you drown. Deep in this living tissue, frozen claws compel the mind. Some slaves, they choose their masters, others are born into their lives... Gather the wind. It won’t lift you up from where you’ve landed. Consumed by guilt. Faceless forces drain you empty. Covered in scars. Who can see the hooks that guide you? Helpless to change. Forced to kneel forever in the dirt. And in your proudest moments, swore you’d grow, swore you’d change. Such grandiose convictions. Who then, now, is left to blame? Eaten alive. Flesh torn from bone. You’re left a shell. Condemned as prey to compulsion’s ceaseless jaws. Need, she hides in the silence. Fantasizes about how you’ll touch. The warmth of your tears as she draws you near, over and over again. Obsession stands just behind you, whispering into your ears. Knows all of the ways to guide you. She knows all of your fears. |

5. | Song of My Undoing | 07:38 | Show lyrics |
When I was young, I believed that I’d be complete and one day I would see that life is beautiful. This calming belief, such an immature dream, as if time was a stream and peace its estuary. Yearned for release, hallucinating that the words of another could ease my frailty. Desperate to soothe the longing that hung from my bones like a skin, a wound, a sore, though finally closed, still burns. Simple meanings drawn from silence. Towards the edge of Sorrow’s open arms. Love, a frozen flame. These words will be my undoing. Trust, and with it came a promise of loss. Selfish urges bind together flesh and hope to pierce and weather. I think of you, I see your tears and anger. The freezing silence crashing down in bitter waves. Flesh fades away and I fear I’ll find these words will be my undoing. Love, a frozen flame. these words will be my undoing. Truth, and with it came a promise of loss. The sum of virtue is rot. Frozen, I have become porous, depraved, something born without a shadow. Fragments and memories, collapse into myself, feel these urges all dissolving. void that ingests our hopes reigns within these veins. Compulsion and confinement. Are these our final words? Labyrinthine exchange. Condemnation is the truest human form... Tragedy borne of human madness. Withdraw from the world and its lack of meaning. ripping it all down, this massive fucking tomb. Ravaged skies rain tears of nothing. I’m telling myself that there is only temporary grace and nothing is sacred. I tire of this journey, loathe its pretensions. Wasted hours carved in flesh. Remember my name for the hate that it brings. Discard the rest. Into the night, we were cast without a sound. to the darkness, where words are never found. Take my hand and be warm against my side. To the gallows where death will make things right. |

6. | Exhausted | 05:54 | Show lyrics |
Waste away, I’m breaking down. Who am I and how did this happen? Never thought I’d be this way. The ceiling’s low, I’m growing taller. Each day seems to be still longer. No escape, there’s no escape. Close my eyes, my head is pounding, searing knives that slice my skin. Every moment still worse than the last. "Fury, my friend, here we are again. You were never far away. Nothing’s really changed. The sky is still the same. The same dead fixtures, a different name. Hate draws you in, wishing for an end. How I plotted and I schemed. Living a lie, failing though I try. Teeth are falling out in my dreams." Nothing matters. Nothing... It’s a fraud, it’s a lie, nothing matters, still we try. Exhausted. I scream it with open arms. I give up and fade away to silent sleep. (Solo: BB) Hatred lights the way. A torch through the dark. Death can’t help but laugh and taunt us with eternal slumber. All our hopes and our dreams are sand beneath our feet. |

7. | Withdrawal | 03:39 | Show lyrics |
Crying out. Seeping down. Torn away, apart, alone. Clothes unwashed. Body numb. Words repeat in jagged circles. Drained of hope. Strength is gone. Eyes are fixed upon the ground. Chased by pain. Loss pervades. Frantic dark. Beg for rest. Withdrawal. |

the din of the mourning roaring in tongues rattles every organ no sound escapes the sky as cathedral never unheard screams bleach the skin make ghosts of fears bodies stacked high to defend the pale scavengers appear to pick apart the bones feasting in the mountain of horror scavengers, they wait they glower at the thrones together in their isolation sever now your reason, abandon all your sight so lost to tales, all logic fails and ignorance commands your fealty blind leading blind dead commands the live children howl while elders scowl and flesh is carved to stave off decay from the shadows, the preachers call vomiting doomed condemnation on all bold declarations, the vision of paul first sight reveals that their lies are failures i praise the end! i praise the end! barred the gates panic reigns your cries the only lamentation scavengers appear to pick apart the bones feasting in the mountain of horror scavengers, they wait they glower at the thrones together in their isolation torrents and torrents of shit the din of the mourning suffer worthless in life, hopeless endeavor wasted nothing remembered, death as in life shameless every single word is a weapon against yourselves injured always the victim, never to blame bleeding hemorrhage together, dig at your wounds dying every failing a reflection of your stagnation wasted worthless bleeding i fear the mourning’s call failure scars silently corrupt we wait too long forever we wait too long for life we wait too long forever now the time for change has long since died the end of every joy we are our own undoing i praise the end! i praise the end! you’ve barred the gates as panic reigns last breath unmourned and unheard |

5. | The Ones We Lost | 07:55 | Show lyrics |
departed, every sound is distant now and through it all, to it, i am claimed the air stinks of regret, skin is thick with it the planet spins, the world outside is still the same how do i live with this atrocity? who do i blame for this defeat? beg, plead, scream, there’s no compromise the world is damaged and there’s nothing i can change obscene, the day and the sunlight that it brings the past and the future, the sentiment it clings to and now i question moment i question every word the regret, the absence, the feelings of absurdity that stricken me with weakness that sap me of my pride it tears, it tears, it punishes the living who would hide disease, defeat, the violence that renders every life inert to undo all the suffering, to undo all the hurt and there is nothing that i wouldn’t sacrifice just to save you from the earth i regret every word said i regret every word unsaid i regret every day spent i regret every day not spent we’re all alone i know we’ve always been did you leave knowing the ghost that haunts us here? did you know that fragments of you would follow me? we’re broken down but the world refuses to see and the world is out of tune i feel it in my bones condemned with regret we’re left to mourn for the ones we lost and the ones we failed to save |

6. | Drown Us with Greatness | 05:18 | Show lyrics |
demand demean your foes the stench of fear is rising the folk the fools the flies that buzz they fuss and cling to words to words like dirt that works its way in cracks that spread throughout the face and deep into the hole that pit where once dared beat a heart now rots now hates now loathes in absolute disgust disgrace decry the earth itself if ever it dared to turn against the tide that ...drags at the future ...drowns us with greatness a man beyond a man a man who bore a movement like a drill into the head of peace a movement of god for only god could wreak this vengeance a rising fist towards the living the dying awake and free from the shackles of hope be the seething the writhing hurt the ending that we deserve the scheming the lying the promise that hate will smother the truth is this seething this writhing hurt he reaches down inside there’s nothing there to grasp a vacuous existence a ravenous demand for power strangles every action consumes his every breath the viciousness propels him to the point he wishes that there never has to be an ending detests the worth of peace reminds him of his worthlessness beyond the world of conflict and bereft manipulation he wallows in despair unsure of how to soothe his swollen ego he screams out see the collapse of all people feel the dead grip of decay hear the last gasp of this era taste the sour air of defeat smell the rot leap from our leaders know the dread freezing them cold rocks line the cliffs of the future’s shore to the edge we march and hell below |

7. | Abject in Defeat | 07:26 | Show lyrics |
fear the world is crushing me revulsion is the air i’m breathing its violence systems clamping down like a tourniquet swollen limbs too tired to move dread pervades the day i am powerless inertia exacts shameful complacence in truth, i never had the agency in shadows, i choke on silent indifference and i relent to power and i relent to fear and i relent to every force that tramples without care and i regret the meaning ascribed to every life the loss compounds completely abject in defeat terror the world has broken me crumbling away, my body is failing conflict rules the day, death controls the night never escape my place in the gutter control, endless control abject in defeat (solo - cg) and i relent to power and i relent to fear and i relent to every force that tramples without care and i regret the meaning ascribed to every life the loss compounds completely abject in defeat but still, i remember just who i meant to be before hate so vicious claimed its fee the future full of wonder all paths led out to sea and slowly i discovered this world is not for me abject in defeat |

War and horror the incessant march of terror forever exalting the hemorrhaging wounds of culture the pageantry of slaughter sanctified by statute, by scripture by capital incentivized roaring with the pleasure of stocks’ continued rise the dead-eyed bless the dying signum crucis, aim, fire cowards who swill the rancid trough of dogma the piss of their masters and blood of their children limbs blasted off and mounted high as freedom every body, a tribute that’s due the triflings of power prayers rush to smother every victim whose lives are gone, their names, their purpose every absence nuclear and fervid mutates survivors, jeered in their recourse by brazen propagandists blood-drunk profiteers of violence scourging captives raw till hoarse voices creak to silence turn pain abstract like that of flies or cattle death, defeat, the fear, the anger existence undone, ceaseless in rancor mourn for the lost and fear for the future a violent dread and still they prattle on about god and guts and heroes while we rage in congregation, we cry in swarming rooms a sea of platitudes bereft of meaning for bereaved who suffer every nightfall, who dread each waking day whose haggard voices fall to distant pleas a violent dread they hope for a crowded tomb the powerful pray for profit full of contempt for the tired pleas of our violent dread |

Trust the black inside and suffocate the light in me Throw the stones that kills the truth Deception must be absolute Rape the mind that will not die Its sharpest throes must multiply Dementia unresisted Psycosis of the mind Generation X termination The blind leading the blind Towards the end of the earth Sweat cyanide seduction Grown numb from the poison That guides mankind beyond all hopes of rebirth Tear further into violence And send forth the blade that slaughter each cell Stillbirth redemption Sterility dances to the rapturous sound of the knell Let fevers rage and ravage The deluded minds of all Surrender to atrocity And yeild by our fall Stigmata children Malady spawn Downward resolution The coming of dawn Sacrilege sanctity Pestilent seat Dominion emerging A world at their feet Infidel armies Viral release Consensual redeemers Penitence of disease Weavers of famine Starvation made whole Their sepulchres spreading Fulfilling their role Sickness overcomes us Past plagues ressurect Generation X termination The blind leading the blind Towards the end of the earth Sweat cyanide seduction Grown numb from the poison That guides mankind beyond all hopes of rebirth Let firestorms rend their emerald cloakes Over a world that judgement provokes Assailing retribution The end of the line Prosperity goes under hatred divine Like bloody waves on shores alight A devil soils with black What’s white And as he treads to sow his sead He rides the earth of its scavanger breed The seas in rising tidal flow Its liquid curse on us bestow A killing force within us hide Breeding wrath World suicide Generation X termination The blind leading the blind Towards the end of the earth Sweat cyanide seduction Grown numb from the poison That guides mankind beyond all hopes of rebirth Tear further into violence And send forth the blade that slaughter each cell Stillbirth redemption Sterility dances to the rapturous sound of the knell |
