(No lyrics available)


2. HEARTS LAMENT

Welcome one and all to the eve our destruction
This presipis of trepedation moving slowly towards the dawn as

Boney hands row charons boat

Rapture a conspiracy, end of days and almost nearly
All your hopes attached as bouys of faith n
Floating out to warn the

Dawn awaits in slumber coiled

Pale skies filled with what
Sounds the most like screaming
Send out the life boat
Forsake the child
Thin veils cover what's
Already marred and masked by
Years of abuse
Lessons learned in our youth

Finally we arrived indifferent aspects all our lives
A fillament here a fillament there
Bound us nightly
And thrice wound down too

Tightly cast as heretic

Yet somehow unseen flowing through the inbetween
We reach around to grasp at straws
Causing heavy breathing decoys as we're tightening the

Seams to deep rise efffortlessly

Wake up
Hold on
Wake up
Now the spirit comes

Phoenix
I wanna rise as a renegade
Burn away the layers of a failure in slow decay
My fault
Well of course was
Who the fuck am i to blame?
Circles
Spinning backwards two by two
Justify with a cry as the rebels do
So let's talk
Of those better days
Before it all just sounds the same

Fail me now
Just stand and bow
Feeble hopes
Hold no disdain
Buried proud
In hollowed ground
None can seek
What fate will find

Grip tight
For whats real is memory
Dare to blink and sinks in the inky sea
Don't think
Just react quite quickly
Define your time with some basic instincts
Alright
Now it's really not that hard
Seperate what's real from what's to far
Desire is a bullet car ya better catch it it's moving fast

Fail me now
Just stand and bow
Seething heat
Leads desperatly
Bureid proud
In hollowed ground
None can seek
What fate will find

Wake up
Hold on
Wake up
Let the spirit go

Sick to death of falling behind
I never wanted this
The chemicals remain in my spine
A toiling brute
Trying not to fall into line
Behind the denizen

A sense of paranoia...
And yes fire will fall
Bathing the weak in the heat
And as the battles rage on
None are untouched by the beast

Fail me now
Just stand and bow
Boney hands row charons boat
Buried proud
In hollowed ground
Dawn awaits in slumber coiled

......


3. DEATH IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

Intro

Scream

...

Follow me, fall in line, we face the fallen ones
Learn to speak with your mind you'll hear me callin
Subtle form, astral course, inside the living borne
Wall of sleep prey to keep you'll be alive again

What are you waiting for

Wake up screaming time to face your demons

Will we fade slow into nothing
Or will we live forever
Your salvation sounds so nice
But death is not for everyone

Now in flight, chain of light, malificent in sight
Argentate, chord of fate, must find an anchor
True no more, to the form, of which was settled for
Gather hands, must prevent, to come alive again

Wake up screaming time to face your demons

Will we fade slow into nothing
Or will we live forever
Your salvation sounds so nice
But death is for everyone

Death is, not for everyonnnnnnnnne

Electric in the air
The offals of despair
Easing out to the plane
Now its time once again

Repeat the mantra

"the lion of the tribe behest of juda the offspring of david hath simply conquered thee infernal invaders all wicked legions in your great insolence in the blood of the lamb"

La tee da

Hypnogogia veins ethereal
Sphereical bodies aline
For your final adjuration

"the pious intercede oh cursed dragon inventor and master of all deceit and hate to tremble and to flee by invocation by command get thee out yes we beseech thee and so i cast thee out"


4. LUPINE SELENORIA

For all my trying
And my denying
But this is madness
Still i succumb to lycanthropian swoons

Ids growing dark now
Winds blow the stars out
The clouds repart how
She bares her teeth as such a site to behold

For all their guessing
Their convelescning
I'm growing weaker
They've tempted something that they couldn't control

She bares her teeth as such a site to behold

And i recede as somethings taken ahold

And suddenly........i"m the wollllllllllllllllllllllllllf
And so my time has come
Those who follow suite
I will advise, i will advise runnnn


Off and out to find my prey - rush rush
Taken down for all to see - bleed bleed
Offer now your life to me - run better run
Swollen limbs that float away - they will decay

(rrrrrrrrrr)

Hun, ka'a, oox, kan

Fleeing through the edge the night the breath of innocence
Is finalized in terror and freight for spoiled youth
Suddenly the weight of the world is on your shoulders
Now you'll fuckin learn

Spiral into darkness and feel the touch of evil
As your face is effortlessly peeled off of your skull
This is just a moment in time for the sharing
Now for those who know

Illuminatus , wax unto wain

Nashing at the bone and the bit torrential visceration
Bathing in a growing abyss living the lie
Suddenly the weight of the world is on my shoulders
Where the fuck am i

Wading in a river of blood oh my god not again
Take shelter in the nearest dense copse of trees
Runnning from the shadow inside the but i cannot escape it
Lukos in my veins

Illuminatus, wax unto wain

Selinoria in trance
Death will be our final dance

(whispered. thrill kill thrill kill)

This is the end of everything
Sanity breaks and senses set to

Kill kill
Kill kill

This is not how i wish to be
What epoch of hate that waits in me to

Kill kill
Thrill kill

After decembers coldest bloom
Rising in cycle for januarys

Thrill kill
Thrill kill

Beggin the sky for what to do
Lacking the strength stop the truth or

Kill kill
Thrill kill

11 behind and 1 to rise
Another in a series of final goodbyes

Thrill kill
thrill kill

(screams/moans)

Thrill kill
Thrill kill

She calls to me
The moon it shines
The moon it shines so bright
She calls to me
The moon it shines
The moon it shines so bright
Rage is over before the day has come
..calls to me, i will advise
I will advise you run...


5. HISTORY DEFEATS ITSELF

Silent measure

Weaving the tale
Journey of a cowardice
Many will follow
No one will believe
Building a jail
Locked inside the apparatus
All you conceived
Snapped off the key

I know your past
You're about as loyal as
Snake in the grass
As you eat with your eyes
Playing your games
Try to make examples out of
Me but your shame
Is yours to consume

Try me designing to fire me (but still i can't believe it)
Hiding your spines yellow lining (still i can't believe it)

Feign disbelief play so friendly (still i can't believe it)
Your ploy nothing short of offending (god i can't believe it)

His.to.ry was written
By the victors and the infamed
Quar.ters drawn not given
Masters that would show no mercy
Yes the storm's passed over
Thats of little comfort to me
Careless fuckin coward
Hope you get exactly what you neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

Break

Lost in embrace
Victim of conditioning
A lack of restraint
For a lost sense of pride
Too hard to take
The lose inhibition
Is a bitch of a thing
And it clutches so well

Faking you thought you could break me ( still i can't believe it)
Make one mistake and you'll hate me (i just can't believe it)

His.to.ry was written
By the victors and the infamed
Quar.ters drawn not given
Masters that would show no mercy
Yes the storm's passed over
Thats of little comfort to me
Careless fuckin coward
Hope you get exactly what you neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

Youneedyouneedyouneedwell here you go

Houses built of glass will shatter faster in the rain
Throwing rocks at hurricanes
Always best to know your limitations and restraints
When playing games with the insane

All of this could have been avoided
If heed was given to the very first warning
Knowing the risk was to great for
Anything of value to be taken away from

His.to.ry was written
By the victors and the infamed
Quar.ters drawn not given
Masters that would show no mercy
Yes the storm's passed over
Thats of little comfort to me
Careless fuckin coward
Hope you get exactly what you need

Youneedyouneedyouneedyouneed

Was it worth the rain

History defeats itself around and round we gox4


6. SHE CRYS FOR THE DARK

(No lyrics available)


7. FOR EVERY MANS ARSENAL

Words that carry strength in numbers
Stand alone without reproach
Some may say our days are numbered
I for one will not be moved
We are not alone
And that's not the worst of all
We have been here all along
Just waiting
For the train to come

Now that you've dared to think for yourself
Listen closely listen well
Don't believe everything that you hear
Or see
Prepare for this new world conspiracy

'Cause..

I may never see your face
Again
Now because they've come
And the entire human race
Is in jeopardy

Don't swallow
All of the lies that they'll feed you
Prepare to, use your mind
One by one, they'll take us, down to die
Lead as cattle to the offering we go
You'll go, you'll go, you'll go

Following the path of righteous men
Leads us back where we began
Tyrants come only to be replaced
Beyond what's known to man
This cycle will repeat

I may never see your face
Again
Now because they've come
And the entire human race
Is in jeopardy

Don't swallow
All of the lies that they'll feed you
Prepare to, use your mind
One by one, they'll take us, down to die
Lead as cattle to the offering we go
You'll go...

Sacrificed, all asleep those who worship thee
Blind leads blind, on your knees this is your destiny
Dreams may fall, shattered at our feet
For what we've saved
Those who've died
Did so not in vain
For wars we waged
History, repeats in all new ways
This is your fantasy, now i"m your enemy
All deceased, by one false gods decree
This is you destiny your fantasy

Finally unto the stories end
These cycles will repeat again

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...


8. REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME

Hear the serpent as he speaks in silver tongues
Beware his tails all lead to traps (ohh)
No denying the harder path is easy found
But always passed on as we drown (ohhh)

Covered up by all the (shit) we have
Will it be there tomorrow
When its all gone what will be left
You and your fuckin self
Only you and yourself

We're the future, this may be our golden age
Define your time and draw the line have no fear and shake the cage
We're the future but it may already be too late
If you'll lead i'll follow, cohesion, may be the only way

Hail destroyer at the altar of fallen kings
But which one has the most to gain (ohh)
Keep in mind now in life theres truly only one sure thing
Not one godamn soul knows what it all means (yeah)

Covered up by all the (shit) we have
It won't be there tomorrow
When its all gone what will we have
We all die by ourselves

We're the future, this may be our golden age
We walk alone and all we know is little more than all the dead
We're the future it may already be too late
If you'll lead i'll follow cohesion, may be the only way

Power in numbers like minds bleed apathetic
When you were younger the whole world was
In your hands
Nothing has changed just shifting through final phases
Everything remains as it was

If nothing else we're always better than we ever were
Constructed by the pain and heartache from the afterburn
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger gives us strength to sing
If you don't stand for something you'll end up falling for anything

We're the future, this may be our golden age
Define your time and walk the line have no fear and turn the page
No denying it may already be too late
But if you'll lead i'll follow cohesion, must be the final stage

Power in numbers like minds bleed apathetic
When you were younger the whole world was
In your hands
Nothing has changed just shifting through final phases
Everything remains just as you want it to be


9. THE BEAR-MAIDEN PT 1

Lost among the elder ones was the demon god coyote
Insidious usurpent fiend his brethren wished betray
Blank
Blank

As fate would have it lust befell a sprightly cunning maiden
Thrice he proved his love by dying to return from hades
Finally the night would come in pleasures endless coitus
Now he has her under thumb and thus he will destroy her

He filled her mind, with evil thoughts, and hellish pain,
(now inside shes slowly changing)
She soon became, of ursidae, paws plantigrade....
Forever cursed to bear the fruit of her hunger
She was reborn to help him meet demise

Aided by the ancient hands of timless sentience
With that strength she disemboweled and left him in tetrad

First she took his breath and left it drowning in the sea
Then she placed his blood within the eldest of oak trees
Finally she ripped his heart of his chest to watch him die
Never to return less the quadrivium combine


10. HELL HATH NO FURY...

Her eyes were winter
They watched as everthing died
It seems the smoke still lingers
And billows up into her mind (from time to time)

She swears she hears them crying & begging & screaming
They're pleading for their lives and the reason they're bleeding
Is evident in the scripture
Written daily in her eyes
It seems the taste of vengeance
Surely withstands the test of time
(she was) followed by the voices in the sky
And there would be no tomorrow
With angels screaming crucify
Why....yes there was a time
Before her fall from grace
Sentenced to dine with swine
And soon this match would spark a flame...


Return again the leaves of sorrow
Float in and drift upon the shore
They're bringing back what they borrowed
But we don't need them anymore

Tempered the wilted flower
Hot breezes blew across her face
She watched them burn for hours
Praying they burn eternally

"never underestimate the power of a small committed group of individuals to change the world
for indeed it's the only thing that ever has"


Gather your strength for the witching hour
Time to right all wrong doings
A crook of the wrist and i cut you as a razorblade smiles
Still laughing all the while

Wait
For
The
Blood/sound

This will be my final reason to call out
To all those who have not yet a voice
Rise - as one mind one body set into motion
To rush forth and seize their final day

Before you - take on god
Test your faith
The body wants
The flesh is weak....
Fallen, i've fallen
You'll wake up to nothing
But the dark below
The dark below
The dark below


11. LAMENTED HEART

(No lyrics available)


12. IN DARKNESS I BIND THEE

Fall as you may
Landing on your own respective blades
Snow covered graves spirited away emotions long betrayed

Try as i may
I'll never under stand all your pain
Why do they say
As cancer we wash the flesh away

Why did you never walk away
How could you put up with all the pain
How'd you just rise up and swallow the sun
Did it eat you up inside
Did it poison you as your pride
You were swallowed but it wasn't your fault

Grow with each day
Those memories will always leave their stain
Break far away from all that leaves you sweating from your dreams

You know you have to walk away
You have to push off from all the pain
You must rise up and face indignation
You must reach deep down inside
Find the flame from within the ice
Now stand up and bow to the sun
Falling down
The rabbit is white again...

When the bow broke no one caught you

Breach your mind
Beneath the lies
So paralyzed survival instinct must out rank all else
Demoralized

Peace of mind
Between the lines
So paralyzed survival instinct must out rank all else
Demoralized

So many so vacant so sorrow annoints
Hope is the foundation of the hearth

Why did you never walk away
How did you wallow through all the pain
How could you rise up and just swallow the sun

Step inside
The rising tide within

Parallels paralyzed
Poison love that saturates i can't feel anything
I deny i deny i deny

Winter winds
It's fingers around the heart

Paralled in another life
Lay kerf upon till there's nothing left-as arrows through the heart
To despise i despise i despise

Tragedy must not leave victim of thee
But i can't feel anything

Yes, you have to walk away
You have to push off from all the pain
Be wary love affairs with guns
You must reach deep down inside
Pass the torch to another life
You were swallowed but it wasn't your fault

Falling down
The rabbit is white again
Too much for anyone

Now you have to walk away
Before you beaten from all the pain
Man is rope over an abyss


13. TRIBE OF THE ONEIROI

Lost your head but your feet stay running
Losing ground and your sinkin fast
Smell the sent of sure death comin
Follow descent through a horn made of ivory
Testify before the eyes of angels
Layed to bare with your skin in sheen
Tiny bones in your hair are tangled
Silently whispers a tune only you can hear

No more running like falling awake
What symptoms of a greater cause
Bound and paid for a pound and a shake
This symphony of misery

Ohhhhhh bound from within as a battles pitted sullen in
Defeeeeat no more a loss then a gain in a effort to
Restraiiiin that which has nested in the eves of an illbegotten
Neeeeeed to delve into the flame

Try not to get burned too badly
One moment is a 1000 moons
Thoughts draped across a timelss landscape
Open your eyes your already in free fall
Far past the streams of oceanus
Down near by where the dead are led
You've landed in a thorny briar
Fire anointed a crown set upon your head

In your head

Attending to slumbering hypnos

"Time and relative dimensions in space
A void if you ask me
Fill it in with all the dregs of humanity
Don't forget a goddman one of em
At the end of the day your just standing
In front of the mirror again
Well will you swallow every bullet"

Wraiths rise out of the lakes
Knives and dagger teeth
Chewing on the weak
Bones, flesh, and sinew break
Clarit to the knees
Trying not to dream

Behold
Behold
Behold
Behold

Bound from within as a battles pitted sullen in
Deafeeeet no more a loss then a gain in a effort to
Restraiiiin that which has nested in the eves of an illbegotten
Neeeeed to delve into the flame

Circles within circles within circles..


14. INTO THE DARK

(No lyrics available)


15. LIGHT THE MATCH

People seeking the ultimate release from meaning
The effervescent hate left seething
Taken to a point of no return
Final straws break underneath the weight of disdain
Wasn't it the same for every empire
That fell before....us

Blank
It was only a matter of time
Blank
We rot from the inside
Fell the power sealed within the flower
Was just a matter of time
Loose the demon do just what your feelin
Fester and rot

Hear him on your shoulder
Witness now to the end
Blank (scream)
Feel the eyes of god, as they turn away

Cities burning outnumbered by the dead returning
To an age of darkness slowly
Throw more bodies on the pyre
Occams razors sharper than the age of wisdom
Anyone that can must listen
We're seeing the unfold of what was prophecized

Blank
It was only a matter of time
Blank
Diseased and crippled minds
Those with power died within an hour
Prey to the weak
Those more clever slipped into the never
By chosen hands

[Growl/scream]

Though the shift was subtle
All the stars aligned

Awkward fade

Light the match
Light the match
Light the match
And watch the world burn

Light the match
Light the match
Light the match
And watch the world burn

Cold, hardened hearts, once asleep
Airwalled coffins lining everystreet
Now awake every need
Tear your flesh simply to watch you bleed

All our fears all our hate
Loss of rapture in the blood we bath
Carnal force darkened blade
Cuts away everything that man has made

This is the final vision
What loss of mans control
So it was our decision
Now that's its time to kill the ghost, give us a reason to, light the match

Light the match
Light the match
Light the match
And watch the world burn

Light the match
Light the match
Light the match
And watch the world burn

Pretty fade


16. WATCHING THE WORLD BURN

Water from the flood
May wash away the flames
The lessons that we've learned
Didn't mean a godamn thing

Where are we to turn
When our idols are all gone
The word was washed away
But all the legends still live on

Its that same feeling once again
Ashes sifted by the wind
Bones that move with grace
Dancing in the flames

As we watched her die
With just a whisper in the night
This withered earth will go to seed
Now humanity is freed

Bath in the blood of gods
On the bent and broken reeds
The winds of change blaze on
And we are purified through pain

(ohh) that same feeling once again
Ashes sifted by the wind
Bones that move with grace
Dancing in the flames

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhh

Just remember nothings forever
This could be the beginning or ending of days
A choice of paths we now must make
Wherever you are is just where to start it
Everyday is chance to be reborn again
For we are purged now from within
Neverending and nothings so easy
As sitting back and just watching it all fade away
Now be the change you must wish to see

Rise up, from ruin
He who defies, will be lead to their graves
All gone, all clean
Here from the start we will rebuild again
No more thats all that i can take
Flocks once led astray can gather now this day
So lays the crux of history
Be that as it may all things are ever changing

As we roll the die
Hope
Falters

Thirst for power and greed unequaled
Are merely stepping stones
(add it to pain and you'll suffer a ...
Lose of ourselves in daily rituals
We simply slipped away
(swallow your pride n see that...

We're at an advantage now
Peace should stand still for a while
Recant and plant the roots again
Let go of denial

Out of the ashes and into the darkness
We move forth with our minds
Somnambulist at the edge of nightfall
Eclipse of the common era
Wait for us here as we bury the son

[Solo]

That same feeling once again
Ashes sifted by the wind
Bones that move with grace
Dancing in the flames

Rise up, from ruin
He who defies, will be lead to their graves
No more thats all that we can take
Flocks once led astray can gather now this day

Retrace our steps, shake the dust off our wings
All eventual, its not to late for anything
Spread out old bones, where we land is our home
The choice was always yours, a skeleton for every door
Tides start to turn, forget all that you've learned
Visceral intent, through our hearts as recompense
Forsake ego causing spirit to unfold
Philosophic gaze cast us out to walk the final maze
Life is a stage and we've all a part to play
Shadows nothing more then a side effect of lights first beam

He who defies, will be lead to their graves
Here from the start we will rebuild again
Shadows nothing more then a side effect of lights first beam
