Redemption 03:41
A cracked and worn carapace holds my mind. Split and broken, no wounds have healed. These thoughts spill over the cusp, a poison leaving my body! This damage has me dead to rights. An unshakeable feeling of dread, I can hear their voices in the dead of night.. coming for me! Searching for their penance. The fear has taken me, I have nowhere to run. Searching the deepening chasm, seeking that which holds the key to my mind. (Key to my mind) Help me maintain this stability, don't let me fall prey to the beasts within. An unsettling feeling crawls it's way up my spine. Help me shake these demons that haunt me and step in every time. Help me find my way back home, take my hand and lead me back, far away from this place of pain. Away from this, away from this hell. This hell I have created for myself. Help me find my way.

Paradise 03:33
Rage ignites against the teller of this tale who never waivers. As we sleep, they arise. I have seen the end of the road they have built. Leading us straight to hell. Upon wings of desolation. A burdened plague that saturates this life. Terminate their existence and look forward to a place of purity and wholeness. Once their empire has fallen. I have seen the paradise that we all seek, beyond the throne of or masters. Stand with me now as we advance. Make them pay... the penance that is due. They crossed this line for the first and final time, and now their lives are forfeit, In my paradise. Can you feel the weight on us now? We have suffered long enough. Can you feel the weight on you now?

I'm standing on the edge, eyes rolling back, reflecting the deepest of oceans! There was no hand of god guiding our path! We have suffered for this violent life, we have been cast aside. Four pennies on the dollar, that's all our lives are worth. Their taxes are used to bleed us dry. There is no hope for us if we can't survive without their blood money! Who will pay the price of our souls? Who will pay the cost? Who will reap the vengeance? It's on us to fix what is broken, we will reap what they've sown. We will suffer for this violent life, we have been cast aside. Everything was taken (was taken)...when will this end? This world will end with our bodies as sacrifice, but in the end we will all pay the price. For years of spoils our greed consumes our future sons, ending in chaos for each and everyone. What did you think would happen if we didn't start to tolerate? The signs are clear: there's no escape for a scribe of life with no sign of remorse. Join the masses and add to the discord! We won't pay the price! This is for fealty, this is for family. This is for fealty, this is for family. Who will pay the price of our souls? Who will pay the cost of our dead earth and withered lives?

Collapse 04:51
I am the architect of the collapse, the end of this earth, the end of time. Breathe in the desolation! Mesopotamia is where we landed and created this collapse, a design engineered simply for the destruction of the earth. A spear through the heart of humanity. The wretched and the righteous fall as one. This passing time, a journey of destroyed lives, nothing left to take. All hope has been lost so long ago. The ashes of this earth lost to shadow. In the eyes of god we are left to our devices. A broken shattered breed built for war and deceit. I have deceived nations for aeons. Digging their graves, graves with no stones! The earth is one of many. The earth is one of many planets I have destroyed with no conscience. All beings shall feel my wrath! This passing time, a journey of destroyed lives, nothing left to take. All hope has been lost so long ago. The ashes of this earth lost to shadow. The warnings were always there and yet none paid heed. And yet none paid heed! Condemned to the dark abyss. Deep within the temples. Deep within the temples - temples of death! The knowledge of the ruination of mankind slept on this earth...all this time! The end times.

End of Days 03:35
The time has come to bring the war to you. This war of the spirit and of the flesh. Now it is time to announce your end as we usher in the dawning of a new age! An age without your mediocrity, without the slings and arrows of the past. Now know that this journey shall take us back to the light. We stand at the edge of a great fire, waiting to be consumed. Seeing the light of day through the splinters of our own delusions. Away from all these thoughts that claim your ignorance, this is the end of days. There is no return. There is no return. The time has come to cleanse your souls' filth. An empty catharsis of despair awaits you. We have cast you down to the pit to which you belong. We have cast you down to the pit. How many must die? How much hope do we need to lose? How many must die until we see the end of days?

The Hive 04:00
This is naught but a passage. A piece of writing flowing through the dusts of time - a grave message. To be told to those who will listen. Now, waking from this dream I see the insanity that you now face. Will you wake from slumber once again? Will you rise? Will you rise? Will you now face the evil? Will you prevail or fall? Stand for what you know is true! Be not blinded by deceit! Now behold what you've become. Open your eyes. See the lies you believe. The master plan revealed, do you not see? You have been deceived, do you not see? Gather around, behold the end that awaits you unless you take control of all that unbinds you. Now, stand firm with me, let forth the power that lies deep inside of you. Come now my friends! The time is right for us to make a final stand and fight! We will not be fed into the grinder, we have a choice. Our lives mean more than the penance that we are striving for. Take a stand! Now, wake up from your dream - you have lost your way! You must arise!

I know what it's like to give up on it all. I've picked myself up, and faced off my darkest fears. Through the haze of smoke, I breathe in the blackened days. This life never held any meaning just another day to carve away on the tombstone, counting the years. Watching the stars spiral. Counting Away my life. Counting Away my life. Reverse the hands of fate. Redeem my faults. Show me the face of mercy for the destruction I have caused. Pushing through the bitter taste of failure, keeping my head held high. I am the master of my own destiny. Through this conviction I will prevail, until my time is up! These broken doors lie paramount to skyline walls. How have I come to enter this battle? How have I come to fall? To become the supreme leader, overlord! You can change what is written for us, don't fear the unknown. You can change what is written for us if we don't fear. I've left so much behind to try and break free, and I'm always asked, was it worth it? I will not break. I will not bow. All I have was built on my own. This is my self fulfilling prophecy. I will not break (I will not break). I will not bow (I will not bow). I will not break (I will not break). I will not bow (I will not bow).

Andromeda 04:36
I've seen the rise and fall of empires the dimensional gates have opened. The hordes have come through the cracks in our perceptions. A golden arch ripped through the sky. We sought the key to our understanding and found it deep within our past. Sumerians and Assyrians knew the truth all along. We are being watched and surveyed. They will soon come to cleanse this earth of of us. And all that remains is ash. A beautiful gift was bestowed upon us. We spat in the face of the righteous. We spat in the face of the righteous. And turned our backs on the earth. Now, the catharsis shall begin. We turned our backs on ourselves. Let the internal fires burn and eviscerate our penitential souls. Bring out your dead! This earth will be carved and all who stand to see will be slaughtered by the hand of war. No one will survive the onslaught brought on by our ignorance. This is the end of humanity. Raise your glass and toast the conquerors of our earth, they will be here to turn out the lights. When we are gone.

First Blood 04:11
LYRIC VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIMqLlz7PCg Blood has soaked this ground. Eternity has been shed by corporate interests. The seas awash with waste and the air laden with your poisons, and the stench of your guilt. This world is burning - the eternal fires of damnation! There will soon be nothing left for us! There will be no sanctity! They'll keep on drilling and we're bleeding our earth dry. We're all set to pay their price of the falling dollar . A pound of flesh for a gallon. A pound of flesh for a fucking gallon! The black hand has made its mark, of famine. Paradise burns, blackened by your hands. A change of mind is all we need to see the signs, laid out in stone so long ago. This is all we have: And all, we'll ever have! And they're taking it away day by day. Everything it touches dies - a cancerous disease. I've seen your filth, walking the earth, unblemished. Taking it all...at whose cost? Paradise burns, blackened by your hands. We've lost the war against ourselves. We are nothing but shells of our souls' true existence . Of our souls' true existence.

Slipping swiftly into the deepening tide of oblivion. A way to forget our past failures. Settling into the abyss of complacency, this is the nectar of my salvation (salvation). Now take back your lies they've compromised. Tour ideals are a fleeting glimpse of the lie you seek. Chasing a hollow crown with no end in sight. There is more to this life. Take your soul and find a new path. We have sacrificed ourselves for no leaders. Drinking deep the water of the righteous, the devil is in disguise wearing a cross and robes. In their arms I found salvation bleeding me dry. Deep into the darkness I sink with no memory of the tides of woe. Pushing away the seeping light, I'm left to resume my plight. In their arms I found salvation bleeding me dry. Why can I not see the dead in me (the dead in me). Feel the weight of the crown of thorns pulling you down. I watch as the world is drowned by the sea and all that is is obsolete (obsolete). Stare into the fire on this final day. Stare into the abyss this final night. And welcome your oblivion.
