Lyrics

1. RAGNAROK (BREWER)

Falling through time, emptiness fills me. Nothing where pity should be,
Nothing where sadness should be. Nothing?


2. FAILURE WITHIN (BREWER)

The light it blinds (it blinds us) binary code infects our dna, the perfect
Symbiotic life force. Silicon blood flows freely from the veins procreating
Lifeless form, perfection. Hide in your cell, far from this tangible world.
Lost the archaic embrace, the derelict palpation of mortality. Cold and lifeless
Blue liquid crystal euphoria. The numbing comfort in the escape of technology.
Diabolical lies spew from the mouth, eating at the core, hiding veracity
Through super highway fiction. Phylogentical alteration, a modern lifeless
Species emerges from the ashes of our forgotten past, our forgotten failure.
The perdition of automated existed. Emotionless words deciphered, meanings
Abandoned. A paradigm shift, a change in trajectory.


3. DESPERATE SOLITUDE (ADELS, BREWER)

See them, how pathetic in their fragile, empty shells. Crawling through this life
As though it were a show. Life is nothing to them, why do they have it still?
Impossible contemplations burn throughout this time. Cooled only in dark,
Desperate solitude. Rolling in agony to find an answer, a way. Falsehoods belying
Truth with ignorance. Hatred has permeated being, tainting all the soul.
Thoughts of death come to mind. The end must come to cleanse this waste. Searching for a means of redemption, but damnation is all that's found. An answer found in question, extinction is the key.


4. HOLLOW THOUGHTS (ADELS)

What amount of time has passed in this my desolate solitude. Chaotic visions of
A thousand years fly through the mind like dust in the wind. Where did it all start?
When will it all end? Memories so elusive, as far away as the moon. Why has sanity deserted while waiting here for nothingness? The elements swarm about while time laughs without care. Waiting, drifting, sinking into forever. Restarting the plight once more within hollow thoughts. This shell lays here against it all, never feeling the worlds pain. Yet cognizance is fading as eternity closes about. Death has satisfied his long appetite. That which was once feared is now all that is craved.


5. COUNTING THE ROSARIES (NEAL)

Taken we crawl to the remnants of a society ruled with a clenched fist. Wading
Through the metaphors with the rest. Knee deep in judas flow we walk along the
Beaten path of despair. We crawl. Counting the rosaries as they fall. Might
Without matter, a shield left guarding your mind. All wisdom mistaken as a belief,
And a stone to guide you in line. Reason escaping as you enlighten, the words
Slowly turn to verses, inspired by a euphoric biblical presence. The answers now
More obvious when you are lost. Flesh to the fire and the sins washed away. Who
To blame now. The mornings prove witness with torture to the witches. The proud,
The difference, my eyes now stained with the blood of respite. But still i stand
Watching the insolence piercing my mind. Who to blame now. Now unleashed from a cage, a state of mental pandemonium. With the end now far from sight. The excuses now too many, without reason. Falling short of our goal to reach salvation we might.... But now conviction sets deep in the hearts of the congregation. Where to go now with your faith undone?


6. PARADIGM SHIFT (BREWER)

Watch as they scurry in their everyday lives. Trying to escape reality through
A false reality. Light refracts, traveling instantaneously. Absorbed and
Computed by the eye. Information downloaded quickly, turned into new found beliefs. The masses are sedated by glowing religion. Don't think, don't dare to speak. Don't question what is given. Long live the consumer, the meaning of life? The legacy of our modern age. Humanity replaced by apathy. A people chasing no dreams, gone are their ambitions and their hopes. Lost they wait for their release.


7. REALITY'S THORN (ADELS)

With peace i walk through my tranquil thoughts. Ever dreaming of the impossibly
Wonderful. Images of pure beauty pass before my eyes as i pace through every
Nothing. Thoughts crash, spiraling to the ground. Dreams punctured by reality's
Thorn. The dancing minds sweet reveries punctured by reality's thorn. Give me
Back my calm serenity. Return me to my wonderous beauty. This life holds no more for me. This reality tears away the fabric of my mind, exposing my blissful
Wonder. The horrors of beyond seep in driving me down. Take me to the grand end, the end that lies within the bounds of oblivion. Allow me to be free, resting
Eternally. I only wish to escape from this anguish and confusion. Wishing no more
Of this world of loss, summon me to the answers that lie at the end of all.
Craving to be released from these bonds holding my insignificant self to this
Deteriorating plane. I wish no more of this fallen realm amongst the stars.


8. A DARK REVELATION (ADELS)

Raging winds whirl the mists about me, blinding me from this society. Grey lights
Are all i see. What is this brilliance that i feel. I've lingered here for so long.
Imprisoned within, forever trying to escape. So alone within this cyclone, i'm
Obscured to the outside world. I am transparent as they peer at me, phasing in and
Out of their understanding. I sit within my cage. The wall before me breaks into the
Light. The vision falls upon me. I see all beyond in clarity for the first time.
Loathing, horror and disgust fill me. My mind swells with disbelief at their world.
Take me back inside my cage. I long for all i once knew and no more. I stand between my cold tranquility and the affright that lies beyond. All so far away, i long for release. If only to return to my ignorance. To the comfort i never knew. All so far away. This existence is more than i can bear.


9. REVERIE

(instrumental)


10. FOREVER MORPHING (ADELS, BREWER)

Forever morphing, constantly changing. What once is no longer and will never be
Again. Nothing evolves into existence, existence decends into nothing. Grains
Melting into smooth fractures form upon the surface. The form shatters as paradigms shift. Echelons fall from far heights, innocence disobeys to disapear. Thoughts are transformed into reality. Borders shimmer translucently. Life and death cycle to originate. Weakness turns into strength from the beginning unto the end. Fate has chosen chaos to rule this world. Feel the wrath of the illusion.
Knowledge becomes our weakness. The point of imperceptions remains. We will never be the same again. We are nothing, a solitary thought amongst the span of time.


11. CLOSURE (BREWER)

Fragmented memory, burdened with fear. The loss of myself brings me to tears. Alone in the dark, i'm numb from the cold. I fall, losing my mind as i gain sanity.
All sense of self lost as i step into reality. Will you heal me? Can you release
My pain? Do you know me at all? I pray for the end, clarity lost. Still holding
On to comforts that have lost all meaning to me. Unable to move myself i stagnate
In this state of confusion. Unable to make up my mind. Progression or regression? Neither seem to matter. The only constant is fear and loneliness and the hope for closure.


12. SHADOWS IN THE MIST

(instrumental)


13. AMONGST THE FALLEN RUINS (ADELS, BREWER)

Faces pass before the light. Masks to be unveiled. Illusions hide the truth from
Reason. The mind is blinded by your eyes. See the true beauty within this monster
This facade has no sincerity. Vision deceives us. Pestilence coats itself in
Virtue. No longer lurking, marching openly, sanctioned by society. See the
Monster within this beauty. The grotesque are shunned by merely a few. The wonders within are lost to the masses only few enjoy the grandeur (majesty). Like sheep we follow blindly to gain false truth. Free of thought, free of perception.
Intrinsic beauty cast away, lost for aeons. Ill timed failure of society. Lost is
The meaning amongst the fallen ruins.
