1. ILLUMINATING

Manifesting visions
Deep into the night
Marking faint incisions
Drowning out the light
Draining out all life
Seeping in, the cold
Frail, hatred, unite
Reliving paths of old
Sanctuary darkens
Stained glass painted black
Nothing left to bargain
Hellbent for attack
Sensations pass on through
Convincing me to stay
When stripped of all but life
Infliction of the pain
No longer convinced in the flesh
Strangers once again
Voices become foreign
Faces become dim
Haunting voices now return to silent me
For a new day shall be taken in vain
And my paths will be covered in ash
Nevermore the forgotten, no longer to receive
As the dawn breaks illuminating the skyline


2. FERTILE

Bringing of the dawn
New seasons glimmer
Revealing of fortunes
Untold, the days beyond
New light inside
From ashes of remembrance
Dividing amongst thyself
To take and multiply
The fertile soil
Cold air in the lungs
The filling of new life
Away with the dissent
Exclusion of the judgments
The scoffing of the righteous
Beyond me
Gleefully forgotten


3. BEYOND

Days ahead sure to come
Instilling patience within
To breathe the new air
And leave this place behind
A calling from beyond
Resonance
Beckoning me forward
Into a new twilight
Shaped by matters untold
Buried somewhere within
Smothered by ambition
Drowned in anger
Released into the black
The cold lifeless hands
Clutching my throat no longer


4. ILLUSION

Staring time away
Into an empty void
Blank apathy infects
Becoming less human
More of what I want to be
Detachment from reality
No more fake expressions
To satisfy the others
Those that seek attention
Cold as winter's breath
Like the frozen soil
Life is only chaos
Hidden by the illusion
The illusions of their comfort
One with the cosmos
The almighty crushing force
Masses seeking consciousness
Only to find cold indifference
Bringing the weight of corruption
Into the hearts of men
