Wake to the fringe annihilation
I see the world of gray
Enveloped by the stench of decay
I hear the waves
Crashing nightmares around me
I feel the world slip through my hand
Lost to the wordless
Call of the void
I’ll rage against this tide
No doubt will haunt my mind
Matter not what form it takes
I’ll crush it all
Beneath my wake
From the ashes we rebuild again
Reclaim once more
Back from the edge
Come crawling back
We are reborn
Reborn
To break the chains of domination
And face the chance of annihilation
We take the pain and destroy ourselves
We force our pain through a living hell
Lose it all to escape our shell
We find our strength in our mutilation
Birth from near Extermination
Witness the world around me
Cold dead lifeless eyes
Soulless they stare into nothingness
Devoid of light
How did they get this way
Could we have fell this far
What cruel shade of reality
Shattered their mind
I’ll find the false divine
And raze the tainted shrine
No Prayers for your demise
A death to free their minds
From the ashes
We will forge ahead
Reclaim once more
Our souls we’ve lost
We cast aside
From darker times
We are reborn
As I wonder existence
Seeking the answers why
This bastion of humanity
Feels like a hive
Broken empty sullen husks
Under watchers eye
Is there nothing but this
Sights that fill my head with thunder
Gods and kings are cast asunder
Tattered beings now buried under
This a consequence of wonder
From the ashes
We will forge ahead
Reclaim once more
Our souls we’ve lost
We cast aside
From darker times
The sun will rise
Again
To break the chains of domination
And face the chance of annihilation
We take the pain and destroy ourselves
We force our pain through a living hell
Lose it all to escape our shell
We find our strength in our mutilation
Find our strength
Breathing life in this desolation

Seas of Grey
05:16
|

Drowning
Under the waves of it all
Expectation
Its tide a crashing break
Crushing
Under oceans tidal pull
This weight
Boundless in gray
Consuming me
Constantly praying they never stop
Violently harvesting every drop
Of what makes us human, of what we once lost
Slowly
Breaking
Strands of consciousness left to rot
Forced to suffer as drones we are
Mindless wanderers watching as
We are all
Sailing the seas of gray
I must call life
Is fading
Counting the sands of time
Dragging me deeper
From the
Shores of the seas of gray
I now call life
This faded
Line now calling me
Calling my name
I hear them
Haunting
I see the eyes pierce right through me
Staring
Lifelessly day to day
Pining
For something more than breathing
I see the scars born of their longing
They yearn
For more than
Constantly praying they never stop
Violently harvesting every drop
Of what makes us human, of what we once lost
Slowly
Breaking
Strands of consciousness left to rot
Forced to suffer as drones we are
Mindless wanderers watching as
We are all
Sailing the seas of gray
I must call life
Is fading
Counting the sands of time
Dragging me deeper
From the
Shores of the seas of gray
I now call life
This faded
Line now calling me
Calling my name
I hear their cries

Grief Drinkers
03:35
|

These scars
They mark who we are
Ill fated offspring
To feed all their needs
You wretch
We're nothing to them
Mere caskets for sin
To leave us empty yet carnaly fed
Call them
By their name
The priests of shame
I see your writhing tongue
Digging deeper infiltrating far beyond the safety line
Confiscating all but draining as they're running dry
They're called
Grief drinkers
Salt the land
Leave nothing left
Cut
Off the source
Of what they need
To feed off innocents
The myth is real
So spread the word
As they fall silent
Completely unheard
I am but a witness
Who knows not what they've seen
They gaze down from towers
Like hungry vultures
On dead meat
Call them
By their name
The priests of shame
I see your writhing tongue
Digging deeper infiltrating far beyond the safety line
Confiscating all but draining as they're running dry
They're called
Grief drinkers
Salt the land
Leave nothing left
Cut
Off the source
Of what they need
To feed off innocents
Teeth
Tear into to deep
They harvest the grief
Until we can't fight
Tap
Into the next vein
You're never the same
They're bleeding us dry
The cycle reborn again
Tormenting as you're sinking deeper
Ruination of all good in life
Drinking deeply of your strife
Grief drinkers
Salt the land
Leave nothing left
Cut
Off the source
Of what they need
To feed off innocents

Sunless Dreams
04:04
|

There's blood on these walls
A crimson array of
Vile debauchery
Turning blades on themselves
Then turning on others
Thrusting inside
Desperation defined
Delving
Deeper
Until I feel something
Moving
Along
They feast on each other
To feel something
Beyond nothingness
Regress to primal need
To feel alive
Fighting
I see an ember
A spark of something
Emerge
In this we defy
This congregation of masturbation
Cast stains to mystify
Paint the artwork
Show the outlook
This art grotesque and vile
Pain and torture
Turns to pleasure
Scream we are alive
Crawling
Deeper
Until I feel something
Moving
Along
To lay with another
Fighting
I see an ember
Not quite a flame
We need to break free
To feel something
Beyond nothingness
Regress to primal needs
To feel alive
Emptiness consumes us all
Only embers cast a glow
Of that
We once lost
Reveries of sunless dreams
Merely shadow born upon
This storm
We endure
Though I cannot see you
I feel your aura
Amongst the crowd
What is this feeling
I find perplexing
What does it mean
What is this light
That sparks an ember
Into a flame

We built a nation based upon the evidence
No gods to hold us back from what we truly are inside
Severing the mind’s eye for this science
The opiate of all
The rise and the fall
Society thrives
They heed the call
We join in as one
Fixating on one thought
Now
Come one come all
And join in the song
To praise our one true call
From the darkness we arise
Overcome our fear and sorrow
Unity gives way to light
Break the bonds that hold tomorrow
Embrace
Unify
Lose yourself
To this rose tinted light
This rose tinted light
Witness
The fall
Join now with your brothers
Dispel their feeble lies
Show what you’ve uncovered
To break the ties that bind
Now claim your final rite
Embrace your inner light
Drink now from my lies
And breath in this new life
From the darkness we arise
Overcome our fear and sorrow
Unity gives way to light
Break the bonds that hold tomorrow
From the darkness we arise
Overcome our fear and sorrow
Unity gives way to light
Break the bonds that hold tomorrow

On Cursed Sands
04:24
|
|||
And now we all arrive
On sands of cursed tides
In a world or what's left
In flames
Where did it all go wrong
What started this façade
They take it deep within
Ferment
Run now the hoard has seen us
Slowly arriving, these living dying
Grabbed by an unseen hand
I hear a crying, slowly she's dying
Blood spills on cursed sands
Don't let me die here, I cannot die here
Lost to this blasted land
Forever cursed, lost to the blighted
Far beyond this land not so innocent
Her Pestilent reign
An ode to our crimson queen
Arise
Take flight and reclaim what's yours
Once more
Pestilence arise
Barely we are alive
Escaped through others doom
Haunted
Our mission must succeed
Or blood a useless tax
Our target now in sight
Survive
Crash through the walls of concrete
Endlessly searching, forever lurking
Divided we search for air
Now we are drowning, a beacon sounding
Flashes from the past
The architecture, they show the ruin
I hear the screaming mad
Mission accomplished, we flee to profit
Far beyond this land not so innocent
Her pestilent reign
An ode to our crimson queen
Arise
Take flight and reclaim what’s yours
Once more
It's all I have left

For Those We Left Behind
03:25
|
|||
Let’s go
Out of time
A waking final breath
Lost in a flash
To never see you again
Your legacy
Is now mine to defend
So I raise a glass
Till we both meet again
Horns held high
For those left behind
And now I know
The world struggles without you
Lost to time
Never lost in my own mind
Your end a gift of beginning
Final days
Of years of tempting fate
Forever searching for
The final words we said
Live twice for me
For I can fight no more
So carry on
As you fade from the shore
Horns held high
For those left behind
And now I know
The world struggles without you
Lost to time
Never lost in my own mind
Your end a gift of beginning
Horns held high
For those left behind
And now I know
The world struggles without you
Lost to time
Never lost in my own mind
Your end a gift of beginning
Horns held high
For those left behind
And now I know
The end of it all
Horns held high
For those left behind
And now I know
The end is just the beginning

Writing Folktales
03:16
|

Alive
As colors now bleed into life
Our heroes are rising
Much like a cleansing tide
The torches ignite
The trumpets will sound
To this duo we owe the night
A peaceful reprieve
They ponder salvation creation annihilation
And the divine
Soon they will know
All we have seen
And take up arms
Against the drinkers of grief
From lies
We ride
Leaving them far behind
As we say
We are more than alive
We fight we die
Oh the folktales they'll write
They will sing
What we did on this day
On this day
With dawns rising light
Exposing the tyrants that poisoned your minds
Shatter your cages and do what you like
For there is no tomorrow with no will to fight
Break through the shackles that hinder your mind
Embracing the empath you left far behind
To wield as a weapon defend those who hide
Composing your opus with this song
We rise
From lies we ride
Leaving them far behind
As we say
We are more than alive
We fight we die
Oh the folktales they'll write
They will sing
What we did on this day
On this day

Sunrise
Of the final day
Scent of carrion
Blow in the winds of change
Gathered deep
Beneath the coming storm
What are we running for
We’re at the edge of the world
Boats are taking port
To light this final torch
Its glowing embers smoke
Of our fading hope
This beacon starts to rot
We gather near and far
To sing this final song
To show you’re not alone
We’ve lost what’s left of hope
We crowd its sinking boat
The darkness breaking through
Time now we face this doom
As I stare into that starry night
The cold air is swirling through my mind
With the tears in my eyes, I let a final cry
Let this...
Somewhere
Beyond this nightmare
I find clarity
To carry on
Much like a shipwreck
Deep in the ocean
I feel your current
Wash me
Ashore
Boats are taking port
To light this final torch
Its glowing embers smoke
Of our fading hope
This beacon starts to rot
We gather near and far
To sing this final song
To show you’re not alone
We’ve lost what’s left of hope
We crowd its sinking boat
The darkness breaking through
Time now we say our goodbye
In the gallows
At the edge of the world
The ships align
To see the end of time
In the gallows
We come to mourn
Though not quite yet
There is still time left
At dawn's last light
Of the world we knew
We hold your hand
Until the end
As you take flight
Into the moonlight
Now bury me
Deep in the sea
In the gallows
At the edge of the world
The ships align
To see the end of time
In the gallows
We come to mourn
Though please not yet
There's no time left
In the gallows
At the end of the world
The stars align
For the final time
In the gallows
We gather in kind
To see dawn’s last light
And say our final
Goodbye
