1. XEN0

Like a wolf stalking prey
In the still of night
In the absence of light
I watch your breath
Pass through my fingers
As the panic sets in
Inhale the chemicals
Inhale

Strung up like swine
Your throat leaks life
Red against white
Like a virgin sacrifice
My master feeds tonight

We’ll abandon the sun
And the warmth it brings
Please just let me in, just let me in
A life lived nocturnally, eternally
Just let me in

The suns reign comes to an end
And the hunt begins again and again
Do you hear them calling out your name?
The panic sets in. inhale the chemicals
Inhale

As the acid burrows into my grin
You’’ll never see my face again
I did this all for you, all for you

You prey, And i pray
For the warmth in their veins
Who will save them now?
You’re so cold

We’ll live
We’ll live forever
Just let me in
Just let me in


2. ACT I: ELYSIUM 77 (FT. TYLER "TELLE" SMITH OF THE WORD ALIVE)

Disappear, We disappear

If I let you take me to the depths unknown
If I let you take my hand
And jump down the rabbit hole

Through forests deep, and oceans wide
If I let you take my hand and venture to the other side
The other side

We are interstellar
Its clear we don't belong here
Just hold me close
And slowly wait until we disappear
We are interstellar
Floating through the atmosphere
Just hold me close and
Slowly wait until we disappear

I'll follow you
Through space and through time
If I let you take my hand
And venture to the other side


3. THORNS

Behold
Behold, the end is near
Behold
Behold, the end is near

We are speaking for
We are speaking for
We are hearing for
[?]
We are bleeding for
We are sleeping for
We are preaching for
[?]

When life is short
I watch the world die
World is falling down
From the crimson sky

As the fire spreads
[?]
In my dreams
We all die

Beneath the snake
[?] back in this place
[?] high stakes
[?] this human race

[?]

We all see evil
We all speak evil
We are hear evil

Sin and sin again

We all plead evil
We all seek evil
We all preach evil

We're all damned

More thorn than rose
More prick than scent
Even Lucifer was heaven sent
Like nails in a cross
Like blood from the crown
Like blood and sweat

We all see evil
We all speak evil
We are hear evil

Sin and sin again

We all plead evil
We all seek evil
We all preach evil

We're all damned


4. ACT II: SONAR

Six withered eyes fixed on fingertips
Dark wood grain under the black letters
The floor it creaks, as the rain it drips
Thunder and lightning, no time better

Suddenly everything goes as olanned
And we can't believe our eyes
We ask it moves our hands
Slowly waiting on her reply

Tonight I wake you
Tonight I see your face
Pale skin and deja vu

Smell of dust as candles drip and nervous tension builds
The planchette shifts, the flames they dance
And all the shadows skip
Six widened eyes fixed on finger tips

I H.E.A.R. Y.O.U

Suddenly everything foes as planned
And we can't believe our eyes
We ask and it moves out hands
Slowly waiting on her reply


5. THE ACROBAT

Instruments strapped around my head
Lower me down
And lock the hatch
Water surrounds
It fades to black
Voices in the emptiness
They echo back

Hunched over and feeding
Exploding with energy
Life is just a roll of the dice
Sometimes you fight
Sometimes you hide

All of this is my cross to bear
Its weight so unconventional
Her and there, and everywhere
I'm so multidimensional

Alphabets and flickering lights
Where does a missing child subside
I hear your voice
The door in the trees
Crawl down through the roots
Where am I now?
Breathing ashes in the air
Stirring ashes on the ground
Life's just a roll of the dice
Sometimes you fight sometimes you hide

And I'm beside myself
Revealed in my hell
This ends tonight
A living sacrifice
All of this is my cross to bear
I'm so multidimensional

You'll never take me alive

Breathing ashes in the air
Stirring ashes on the ground


6. ACT III: WITHER

The world was ours
But now its mine
I reached out and then she replied
Going against heart
I'll satisfy my mind
Inner man
I am fine

Reliving that night over and over inside
I am fine...
You were never supposed to die
I'm alright...

Familiar spirits I know their face
I know them well
She's in heaven
And I'm the one stuck in this hell
Familiar spirits I know their face
I know them well
She's in heaven
And I'm the one stuck living this hell

Now only two tired eyes fixed on those fingertips
It's still daylight out
And theres no candles lit
"Come back," I ask it out loud
The wood it tilts and shifts
"I. N.E.V.E.R. L.E.F.T."
Is what it spells out
The face you wear is not your own

The piece started shifting
This time with fingers missing
Letter by letter
The wood sliding and hissing...
And it began to spell out...
"W.HO. A.R.E. Y.O.U.?"

And just like that
When eyes were wide
I am not alright
This was not the girl
That left me behind
I am not alright


7. THE FOUNTAIN

(Instrumental)


8. CICVDVS

Cicada sing your song
(Sing your song)
Shed your shell
And carry on

We are humanity
Broken and bleeding
But this heart
Its beating
Pumping unity, pumping unity
Pumping
Pumping unity, pumping unity

We can't escape this reality

As a world we're failing
Destroying, depleting
Intelligent beings?
Humanity as a whole
There is no where
No where else to go

And it has begun
Rising moon and falling sun
Cicada rise from your hole
(From your hole)
Spread your wings
You're not alone (You're not alone)

Revolution or evolution
All I know is we need a solution


9. ACT IV: THE LAUGHING COFFIN

Months gone by
And every single night
I have the same dream
Where you're there
And then you're not
Its like you fade away
Your body seperates
How much longer will I be
Forced to relive that misery?
She's trying to communicate
Am I asleep? Or am I awake?
I'm under attack
Looking in a broken mirror
All I know is that

I am not that man
That man isn't me
Its like I'm haunted
Haunted by those memories
Haunted by the visions
Haunted by the noises
Haunted by the demons
And all their distant voices

Walking past a window and
In the reflection all I see
Is a shadow and not the man
I know staring back at me
Is that who I talked to?
Is that who I confronted?
Who I pulled from the darkness?
You're not the one I wanted!
Lights flickering, noises in the night
Never sleeping. This can't be right
Its getting worse and worse
Its to the point, its like I'm cursed. I'm...

Haunted

I've come to the conclusion that it can't be her at all
But something darker still waiting to come forth
When I closed my eyes and woke up in this dream
She was standing there again separating at the seams
I cried out but like always it was too late
I ran over to her body, watching it seperate
And when it finally cleared, I couldn't believe
That the thing underneath that darkness was me
Cause I'm haunted


10. KEVLAR (FT. TRAV PIPER)

Hello crow...
Hopping on the side of the road

With feathers like shadows to match your soul
Take me by the hand, guide me home
Where no man lives and the lifeless roam

Whispers in my ear, if you lead, you know I'll follow
From here to there, through thick and hollow
This journey ends in the land below
Who was once a man is now no more


11. I.O.U.N.

Demonic possession of the boar god
But my arrow pierces through
In its last breath the nature of the beast
And the iron that made it pursue
The curse passed onto me, empowering
Until I pass away
Heading west to seek the cure
From a lifeless eternity

The corruption spreads in the hearts of men
And their ambition gets the best of them
Tree spirits lead the way
To save the forest from humanity

Howling creatures and their god
Attacking villagers who run off
Animalistic rage on display so wild and free
I watched you ride away
Enraged the war boars descend on Irontown
To cure the infection
Daggers vs tus. Bullet vs bite
Mother Nature lost this fight tonight

Forest Spirit, where has your head gone?
Nightwalker
Nightstalker


12. GUARDIAN XIII

Awoken from a most eternal sleep
Can this be a purgatory? or a dream?
A distant future, where darkness crawls
Ever closer to, our solar systems walls

You say that you've been searching?
For miles? for years?
Resurrect me, from my life before this
Little ghost
Won’t you stop haunting me
For every door that’s locked
Are you the key?

I don't remember an Earth
Not like this
A last city full of guardians
Suiting up to kill
Mechanical mercury
So close to our beautiful star
Venus, a sanctuary
Endless archives uncovered on mars
Ventured off through saturn’s rings
To the awoken at the reef

A golden age is worth nothing
When it ends in fear

Awoken from a most eternal sleep
Can this be a purgatory, or a dream?

A distant future
Where darkness crawls
Ever closer to
Our solar systems walls

The hunters stalk,the titans strike
The warlock unleashes
The void with might
A fallen race, a tortured hive
Cabal forces, the vexed minds
All Consumed by light

You say that you've been searching?
For miles? for years?
Resurrect me, from my life before this
Oh mighty traveler, why did you travel here?
A golden age is worth nothing, when it ends in fear

Little ghost, won’t you stop haunting me
For every door that’s locked, are you the key?
