Lyrics


1. I, THE CREATOR

In spite of making this all I breathe
I'm sitting soulless in moments unforeseen
But I
Long to feel the breeze
Bound by this disease
Scars to take the place of open channels with no stream
I've got the answer, do I dare to heed?

Believe
All things in effect will surely grow
For now solace is the mission given to the organized
Pick a fucking side
With us or against us
We're moving forward
For now

This is the end
Of promises made
That were never meant to hurt (Let it go, let it go)
Forget what I said
I just want to watch you burn
For promises made
That were never meant to hurt you (Let it go, let it go)
Forget what I said
I just wanna watch you burn

And if my time just came
Back to me
I wouldn't change a thing
Ablaze, this apparition burns
Your power is your own
Value the human spirit
Condemn yourself
Or choose to live

No more
We will form as one
Ready to fight you
With no surrender
We are ready to believe
All things in effect will surely grow
For now solace is the mission
Given to the organized
Pick your fucking side
With us or against us
We're moving forward
For now

This is the end
Of promises made
That were never meant to hurt (Let it go, let it go)
Forget what I said
I just want to watch you burn
For promises made
That were never meant to hurt you (Let it go, let it go)
Forget what I said
I just wanna watch you burn

No more
We will form as one
Ready to fight you
With no surrender
We are ready to rise


2. ORIGIN OF ESCAPE

Remain obsolete
It’s better they think that the fire has taken us all
We run

No moment to wait or take your time
And they're hoping that it stays this way
My escape through the night
We distinct rebel
Taking to flight

Remain unforeseen
We've awakened the fire devised from the ash of my cells
Remain obsolete
It's better they think that the fire has taken us all
Make way run

Onward
Like they took the first corrupted keepers
Witnessing the truth seeking two

Roses
This retribution will fall
Pieces of denial
The time will come to pay

Roses
My intention suffers
The living in time
Will thrive

Remain unforeseen
We've awakened the fire devised from the ash of my cells
Remain obsolete
It's better they think that the fire has taken us all
Make way run


3. ATLAS

Ways have changed
Guiders of the open wind you make me understand
Again and again you make the same mistakes
I can't ask to make that change
Their bodies official
The guardians of the stream

Now, we're sailing across the world
Provided a place to stay
Whatever the cost that makes us different
Dare to look away
For better or worse I'm sure
We'll ride along this wave
Whatever the cost that takes us
Distant
Dare to walk away

The great Ocean takes laughter with hollowing
How could we live inside of a ship that's been slowly abandoned
Taken by the cold

We're drifting away
We're drifting away
We're sailing away
We're sailing away

Now, we're sailing across the world
Provided a place to stay
Whatever the cost that makes us
Different
Dare to look away
For better or worse I'm sure
We'll ride along this wave
Whatever the cost that takes us
Distant
Dare to walk away


4. HORCRUX

Now that we both are laid
The time elapsed the foolish conscious
Building for me all the famine
We will leave
We are the sands of this land
Come and set him free
This power lapses every minute we bleed

Away the sacred prophecy
Looking down
The time is spent
Beyond our days
You rang, would you believe?

Would you believe in me
You make ready, you’re safe till you trust me, yeah
Should you believe
You make ready, you’re safe
To live as that which is planned
Closest to the heart

At first
At last
The war we may get into
Into the sand
Of our past
From the first encounter
Remainder
You’ve already made
This place that we once
Speak to find ourselves
A place defined of our roles
Of our rule

You make me the same
The same deity
You’ll be crusades of kings
You’ll shape the greater part of me
We never take or leave a lie
Open the way

The chosen man turned up to fight
Soaring, would you believe this time?
Turn all your hate into greed
Another life to compete
We are the greater mystique
We are one
Turn all your hate into greed
Another life to compete
We are the greater mystique
Destined to die
Now walk with me

Would you believe in me
You make ready, you’re safe till you trust me, yeah
Should you believe
You make ready, you’re safe
To live as that which is planned
Would you believe in me
You make ready, you’re safe
To trust this lie
Should you believe
You make ready, you’re safe
To live as that which is planned


You think you’re better than me
You think you’re better than she
You think you’re greater than I do


5. GARDEN OF SANKHARA

And there is death in the air everywhere (all around me)
Through the night I won't make it anymore (no)
But I forget that I couldn't make all the same bad mistakes
Like the ways of the ancients, everything has to change
I would do anything to remove and erase
Just denial face to face
Who wouldn’t take my place?

Hey, are you the Garden of Sankhara?
Hey, are you the sound of time?
You know the mess that awaited me
Or did I see you there?
A better soul that you made of me?
Yeah, they’re dancing on your fucking death

I'm moving to a place that I can reshape
These god damned vines (I know on your own you will fall)
I'm moving to a place that I can't escape
I hope they let me stay alive (I know on your own you will fall)

But I forget that I couldn’t make all the same bad mistakes
Like the ways of the ancients everything has to change
I would do anything to remove and escape
Just denial face to face
Who would you dare to bring back to me?

Who's in the mirror that I’m near to see in between
The misty state of this waking dream
And standing at the fall
Reflection lead the way
Reflection lead the way

Hey, are you the Garden of Sankhara?
Hey, are you the sound of time?
Destiny, a hollow ghast that a patient sees
Or are you really there?
Hey, are you the sound of life?

You know the mess that awaited me
Or did I see you there?
A better soul that you made of me?
They’re dancing on your fucking death


6. THE ALCHEMIST

We all live in a world
Where thoughts are overtaken by chaos
Realize I can't live with this
I'm living life in the sick
Designed benign, how could you ever know
There is a better way
There is a better way
No more (No more)
Being run around (Become the light)
If I (If I)
The world bends around me, become the tide
Through standing this harm, become the tide

The world surrounds me
I'm alone, but I make the most of borrowed time
Forever eternal, the terms of old
Whispering in secret, they’re questioning it

Who am I?
The brightest light in all of creation
Who decides?
Foretold ages sense, a mystic once said
Deep within memory
Deeper within me
Everything's written, forewarned
Redefine
We'll change everything, I know that we can do this

Hold on a love line
As all burns
The world bends around me
Become the tide

The devil's deep inside
The devil's deep inside
The devil's deep inside
A seat in his own world
Do whatever it takes
(Taking over)
Let it all go
(Taking over)
Let it all go down
You wanna make it, it's already gone awry

It's a ring of fire
Through standing this harm, it's already gone
They'll step on your will
They'll stand on your faith
They'll wither you down to nothing and then some
It's better to hold deep and stand alone
While these skeptics whispers are questioning it

Who am I?
The brightest light in all of creation
Who decides?
Foretold ages sense, a mystic once said
Deep within memory
Deeper within me
Everything's written, forewarned
Redefine
We'll change everything and all that is alive


7. QUASIMODO

Falling beside you I lost ground
Beneath us, wander without a lead
Burning descent
We are framed to think
I would be wise to lay in
Barons of planets sublime
Lost in the fire concealing the doors
Lock the mind inside

We know we're free to go
We're so damn anxious to be
Alone this time

Save this confirmation until the revelry
Ooh, let it all go
I fall, I'm lost in the desert unseen
Safer than the seas now
Trust can be had between the bars
In myself, feeding my kin's intuition
Could this be so real?

We know we're free to go
We're so damn anxious to be
Alone this time
Now we know we're free to go
We're so damn anxious to be
Alone this time

Who would deny that I can see him next to me?
Such a creation that achieves
A vile abnormality
Holding on time, remember me
Taken by the mystery
Let it be, let it be

Judging instead by the man inside
Truth can make its way to light
Stupid and blind
Who could deny?
Who would deny you're one of me?
One of me
Make it go

I am inside all of my demons
Who would deny?
Who would deny that I
Can feel afraid or so angry?
Nothing's forsaken, no matter, there is hope
(Listen for me)

Be the change you're meant to be
Return through the endless
Who am I to feel this way?
Be the change you're meant to be
Return through the endless
Who am I to feel this way?


8. SAGA CITY

Sitting on answers
That time makes its crown
And divides ourselves into questions
Do you remember that all life at the bottom of the well
In the city
Where all is one with all?
Reminding us both that we chose to make this place our vessel
Our deliverance

We're falling deep
Bound to each other somewhere
Calling out until the end of time
Break out the silence
Hold it close until it throws me

So far away
The living memory
Forgot of yesterday
The part of me that wouldn't die or let the story lose its way
I don't know where you stand
But I will bring this plan into a higher place
Too soullessly I dedicated my love for Saga City

But then they came down
And corrupted inside
Brothers with throats cut knives cross the street
And takes down the thundering herd
With violence with them moving like thieves in the night

Thrive!
I wouldn't kneel before you
I wouldn't call you king
With gall I'll take my leave
And set the stage for your death
I'll set the stage for your death
And escape with the tomb

We're falling deep
Bound to each other somewhere
Calling out until the end of time
Break down the silence
The chase these walls were greater fearing

So far away
The living memory
Forgot of yesterday
The part of me that wouldn't die or let the story lose its way
I don't know where you stand
But I will bring this plan into a higher place
Too soullessly I dedicated my love for Saga City

You love this bowl of sin and treachery
So just tell me this
Who the fuck do you think you really are? (Yeah!)
Who the fuck do you think you really are, Father?


9. JINN

A devil sent me your gift as it was taking up
Your face from the deck
Coalescing into wisps from the void
Where you'll spread your words in time
All the heads in the middle of the circle
Take an unfamiliar fate
A drop cuts the eye of sleep
Wanting to know my name
I am nothing but the way down
I could not ever rest my sorrows
All these secrets will unravel
To become greater than the factions
That he murdered and so stole
Oh!

Now there is a point
Insight disguised within myself
Fighting to resist the hand I'm played
If you have to speak this way
If you have to speak this way
If you have to speak this way you forfeit your right

To leave this place
(A vicious cycle holding on)
To leave this place
(And you regain the cycle whole)
We leave this place
('Cause we know, we know)
We leave this place
We know where we're going all the better

Now make us the same!
Taking over
Taken over
Make us the same
Taken over
Fake out in the end
For nothing must end

But the way down
I could not ever rest my sorrows
All these secrets will unravel
To become greater than the factions
That he murdered and so stole

(The silence speaks)
All these secrets come undone
Taking me over, over!
(The silence speaks)


10. I, THE DESTROYER

And I will rid the earth!

Oh, pestilence aside
And shape the world as I seize it
Bow to me, guaranteed
Defined in silence
I am the consequence of hate
And this has gone through flesh, with the blood of victims

There's a light at the end, you better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own identity will escape
This is the end

Oh this world
Bound within the same cycle
A fading memory that must be destroyed
I redefine this life obscene
Fain torture exquisite
Everything beyond bathed in bloods of purity
Imagine me, the gods above no doubt will see this
Never seen such confidence in the things that will burn your flesh in a blind obsession

There's a light at the end, you better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own identity will escape

There's a light at the end, you better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own identity awaits

Oh, I am the destroyer
Father of evil
I'm the god of chaos

This place within the realm
Never felt so perfect beneath the slavery
All the time we spent just allowed if all things were peace
Over the edge of this place we leave before us
I'm at the edge of this place before us
Try going down

There's a light at the end, you better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My old identity will escape

There's a light at the end, you better go right now
For the sake of apologies that were not accepted
Offer your fee of your death and sign
My own identity awaits!

This is the end!
This is the end!
This is the end!
This is the end!
This is the end!
This is the end!


11. SAMSARA

She returns with blood on her feet and wings on her back
Now she returns with words in her head
With a song in her heart, in her heart to free us all
With a kiss to free my soul, this is the end

This is the end
