1. ABANDONED HOMES

We've left this decadence
As it was in the utmost form
Bracing the rising floods ahead
Nothing can be taken with us
All that we treasured
All that we idolized
Swallowed up in catastrophe
Abandoned homes
Abandoned homes
This life is not my own
Abandoned homes
Abandoned homes
This life is not my own


2. CREATION WEEPS

We are a part of a cursed generation
Our hearts are empty along with our dignity
Each day bracing for the worst
Each day a new tragedy emerges
How do we process these fearful times?
Where do we find our integrity to stand firm in raging seas?
Compelled to surrender unto hardship
We stand divided once more
Shaped by the voices of others
Forsaken by our families
Our trust betrayed
Tell me there's something more
Tell me that we’re more than this
Buried in isolation
Why did I sever my ties?
Content with self reflection


3. SUBSEQUENT ABUSE

Justifying actions with weak excuses
Dependent on substance to ensure a peace of mind
Another broken home
Torn away from those you love
Sheltered in the games you play
Sheltered in the lies you speak
A victim of yourself
To yourself
By yourself
Giving into the desires that deepen the grave you made
No need in cradling this hate
Self destruction is no outlet
Don't let your life be carried away by regrets of the past


4. DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD

Faces of the past drift away
Moments in solitude have given me rest
Time to dwell on what matters most
To seek out my true self
I've studied my beliefs and dragged them through the mud
I've looked at what's left
What has truly remained
There's only one voice to shape my mind
Only one path that leads to the grave
Dead to my past
Stripping it away
I've studied my beliefs and dragged them through the mud
I've looked at what's left
What has truly remained


5. TORMENT DEFINED

You're defining torment
Seeking within yourself
Defying limitations
Of an easy way out
The pain has found you out
And you dare to defile it
You welcome adversity
We're defining torment
Defying limitations
Of an easy way out
The unchanging hour
Will try to break us
We will defile it
This is our war
The unending torture
It sharpens us
Into weapons of slaughter
Defining torment
Defining torment
We are torment defined


6. OF SUBTLE AND SAVAGE RAGE

Crawl through with fear or die out with faith
We are one and the same
Divided by consequence
Estranged from the start
Defined by our traditions
Hollowed by our past
Calculated by time
Content with neutrality
Begging the past to keep us sheltered in the misery of an unchanging mind
Upholding our dead victories
Singing the same songs of our fractured history
Yesterday is buried
Dead with the past
Dead with the past


7. JUDGEMENT DAY

The call reigns down upon you
The stage has been set for complete catastrophe
Lying words and poisoned works
It's time to uphold the truth
There is not one righteous
So don’t try to pretend
It's time to answer for the world we killed
Judgement day
I hear it calling from beyond
Judgment day
The earth demands its response
Judgement day
Seeking truth in the words you speak
Judgement day
This is our judgement day


8. THE LINE SELDOM CROSSED

Do you dare make the choice or be silenced without a voice?
Can you see past your broken self to pursue a strength beyond?
You've severed yourself from possibility and regret the decisions you made
Victimized by the weight of guilt and fear will share in shame
Close the book of chapters now dead
Rewrite yourself into a new narrative
Time will not decide
It only remains
Cross the line
Move past the shame
Cross the line
Will you cross the line?
