1. SINISTER

Cursed by fate
These lives are entwined
Suffocation
Of faith and of the mind
Tribulations are now infecting me
Dreams of paradise forever left unseen
From this hollow I seek eternity
Fight this anguish to reach the peace I seek
Taste the agony
Your force to repent
Deep within thine eyes
These pitiful graces spent

Upon the ages
A soul enrages
Upon the ages
My mind begins to break
Upon the ages
A soul enrages
Upon the ages
This shameful sleep is upset

Face of judgment
It beckons you from above
Shape this hatred into the signs of love
Twisted and reborn
This mindless paradox
Endless gallery
The door forever locked
Loss of patience
The treasures that you seek
Mind contorted
Damnation of the weak
Such a presence of timeless apathy
Numbness flows down from this inner being

Into the ages
A soul enrages
Into the ages
It's just too much to take
Into the ages
A soul enrages
Into the ages
This final promise is kept

Into the ages
My soul enrages
Into the ages
My mind begins to break
Into the ages
My soul enrages
Into the ages
It's just too much to take


2. RETRIBUTION

Standing now at the gateway
Another moment in time
All my sins forsake me
Losing state of mind
Saving this fallen entity
In distant memories
What's left in her eyes
All life's beauty, unseen

Retribution Unto Thee
These are your lost reasons why
Don't believe a word you said
This is your heart's last goodbye

Lies turn inside my head

Standing alone when you're near
Altered states commence
Reflecting all that you fear
Words that make no sense
Stop to face what's deep inside
Shrouded in secrecy
Loss of all hopes, denied
It's all the same to me

Retribution Unto Thee
These are your lost reasons why
Don't believe a word you said
This is your heart's last goodbye

Lies turn inside my head
I believe every word you said

In the mind's reflection
Fear begins to breed
The loss of human connection
From all the pain that's seen
Face of understanding
With words one can not hear
Leaves the mind in wanting
Reality left unclear

Tensions
Reflection
Salvation
Outpours
Temptation
Damnation
Emotion
No more

Tasting
This anguish
This heart's
Last breath
Shaping
Retribution
This soul's
Left dead


3. THE BITTER END

Torn by lust and a fever within
I long for serenity, unknown
Trapped in this moment of sin
My contempt has forever grown

Persistence overtakes me
I will never forgive

Left unfeeling
It all passes by
Moment by moment, the same
Struggle for purpose
Hearing only lies
Wanting now to scream out your name

Persistence overtakes me
I will never forget

Held in this mind
Held for all time
Lies will never cease
Now, to be confined
Confined

See me falling
Eyes without a care
Burning now until the bitter end
Release this grip upon me
The peace that will never be
Peace will never be

Lost inside my hidden rage
Walk among those passive lives
Seeing visions that will never fade
As the last of my passion dies
See the face of purity
As I now close my eyes
Seeing visions that will never fade
As the last of my passion
Dies

Held in this mind
Held for all time
Lies will never cease
Now to be confined
Confined

See me rising
I no longer care
Seeing you, the pain now begins
Break this grip
There's nothing left of you
There is nothing left that I can do
Nothing I can do

Lost inside my hidden rage
Walk among those passive lives
Seeing visions that will never fade
As the last of my passion dies
See the face of purity
Oh God, please shut my eyes
Seeing visions that will never fade
As the last of my passion
Dies

Persistence overtakes me
And, I will never let you forget


4. THE TERROR INSIDE

Rageful moments consume thy heart
Life ended right before it starts
Words travel on with no sense of worth
In her eyes, shattered hopes of rebirth
Wishing now for what used to be
No release from this utter misery

Calling
And Falling
I've seen
This terror inside of me
Longing and wanting to breathe
This wave of torment will never cease

As the last of my hope now dies
I sense in her
A moment's cry
All this anguish by your own hand
Unfound pity within lines of sand
Angelic voice too weak to tell
Lost inside your own created hell
Your own created hell

Calling
And falling
I've seen
This terror inside of me
Longing and wanting to breathe
This wave of torment will never cease


5. LUNACY ARRIVES

My burning soul
Without control
Visions in my head
Bombards the brain
But, not insane
Feeling so much more
It numbs my mind
Ease fear inside
Rising from the haze
I take inside
And, then soon find
Feelings that I need

Fuel
The soul
Tension inside
This
Within
Lunacy arrives
I want my life electrified
Power through my veins
Fills me up
High inside
Bliss almost insane

I wildly
Take things I see
Pleasure in them all
The world it seems
Has changed for me
A higher state of bliss
All spins around
This thrill I've found
Excess at it's peak
Could it be real ?
The things I feel
Better if their not

Fuel
The soul
Tension inside
This
Within
Lunacy arrives
I want my life electrified
Power through my veins
Fills me up
High inside
Bliss almost insane

Deprived of all
My name it calls
Urge to join my life
I want to thrive
So long I've tried
Answers still remain
I take inside
And, then soon find
Feelings that I need
It numbs my mind
The waves arrive
Floating once again

Fuel
The soul
Tension inside
This
Within
Lunacy arrives
I want my life electrified
Power through my veins
Fills me up
High inside
Bliss
Almost
Insane
