Lyrics

1. A BLACK MINUTE

Our voices echo on a quiet night
Silver faces, an unholy cathedral
Moon and Sun
A birthing right in this duality
Embrace the feeling of our human skin
Intertwining now in ecstasy
Lie in the circle of a few who stain
(Our bodies with their own blood)

The blessings given as the child grows
A family burdened with a life full of evil
Sacrifice
Now you can live to see another day
Embrace the feeling of our human skin
Intertwining now in ecstasy
Lie in the circle of a few who stain
Our bodies with their own blood

(Embrace the feeling of a soul within)
(Lie in the circle of a few who stain)
Our bodies with their blood

Our voices echo on a quiet night
Silver faces, an unholy cathedral
Moon and Sun
A birthing right in this duality

These voices echo so violently
A complication with a life full of evil
Sacrifice
Now you can live to see another day


2. MK ULTRA

Innocent babe, shall we corrupt at such a young age
Conjure a laugh, conjure the tears amongst love
Glass brain, it will project all of the spectrum
Heart still, but his infant hands are shaking now

Start leaking all the thoughts on your mind
What's yours, is ours for the taking
Take this bruise as a sign that we own you now and forevermore

Spiral down
Disconnecting sight from sound
Control one

The poison now is your responsibility
You can finger paint with blood on your hands


3. HEAVY HEART

Experience these things
My chest digs further in and it gets hard to breathe
Don’t fight it
Make this easy

Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It’s a long road
It’s a long road

As the water beads upon the window
Turn the sad song up on the radio
The fault with me is a memory
When the flesh moves on

Such curiosity
These thoughts go on all day
And it takes hold of me
But fighting isn't easy

Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It’s a long road
It’s a long road

As the water beads upon the window
Turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on
And the clouds block out the rays

When the feeling hangs upon a halo
I can only try my best just to let it go
The fault with me is a memory
And the things I have to say

Resting now, their bodies hit the ground
Nightmares creep over me I hear the sounds
(Yes they all hit the ground)
Children scream, their mothers bleed hung upside down

Scarlet ropes and sadistic minds surround me
I spent all of my life confined in secrecy
What you say?
In spite a shell of what I am on the inside

Clouds of blackness abounding
There’s nothing about
I’m falling, falling, I’m falling below
(There’s nothing about)

As the water beads upon the window
Turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on
And the clouds block out the rays

When the feeling hangs upon a halo
I can only try my best just to let it go
The fault with me is a memory
And the things I have to say


4. The Event

(Instrumental)


5. THE SCOURGE

As I sit with eyes heavy omens clear,
Face down in seclusion the evil steer,
What drives the stake within my heart,
This man he fell apart.
Now that the entrance is open wide,
This black all around makes it's way inside,
What have you done? Will hate abide?
Where is my death invitation? Elation?

Dead glimpse lurking beneath this prison, I
I give my life for a taste of, taste of
What lies beyond the dead place now
Fire burns rising beneath these sins in time,
I leave my life for the void

I have not tried!

Survive! I will survive!
Collapsed ceilings above drop rage upon them
(Raging upon them)
Stone cold fist and a memory running
On the blunt end of a blade
The blood that is spilled shall start my serenade, to you

I will survive,
I will survive,
Survive!


6. ALPHA

It's always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you'll never have
And it's a goddamn broken state of mind
Yeah, the one that we've been living in
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you'll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from hate
Punch through the unknown
And it will leave the little time we have

[Chorus]
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It's envy been eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you'll never have
And isn't it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we get
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you'll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from hate
Punch through the unknown
And it will leave the little time we have

[Chorus] (x2)

Show them that we're not blind

[Chorus]

Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe

This want is menacing it will not leave us be
Can we part this?
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?
How did we get like this?

Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins


7. 22 FACES

Staring at the hourglass, my life, it feels like a machine
Running with no direction
Watching time as it draws a perception obscene,
From a resurrection
Choking on reality, the walls of my insides, they bleed
From the excess incisions
Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings
From the core of me

Whoa, yeah I'm dying to see,
What it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are deciding my world,
They burn from the inside out

Lies told and the flames burning all around
So blind to the beauty, you slave
But it feels like the walls are melting, facing into me
Have I lost track of time?
Yeah!
Why can't I feel the burn?

Staring at the hourglass, my life, it feels like a machine
Running with no direction
Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings
In my resurrection

(Yeah!) Whoa, yeah I'm dying to see,
What it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are deciding my world,
They burn from the inside out
Whoa, yeah I'm dying to see,
What it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are deciding my world,
They burn from the inside out (inside out)

When the frustration makes a move,
The second hand will swallow you
Tearing a hole inside,
I'll bury your life

The smell of flesh is seeping into my rage,
Thrashing open for a better way
The push, the pull,
It's tearing apart my will to thrive in the day
Pins and needles jabbing into my veins,
On the verge of losing sanity,
The beast tears and I can't do a thing about it

Whoa, yeah I'm dying to see,
What it is that is eating away at me,
Now the stars are deciding my world,
They burn from the inside out
Fuck me I am dying for sleep,
What exactly is eating away at me?
Now the stars are deciding my world,
They burn from the inside out


8. RAINBOW GRAVITY

Further down this road
Where is it we are leading the generation we know?
The answers lie down inside the mind of humanity
Its a vast, dark sea
Will we fall forever alone, down in this unknown abyss?
Where we fail is thinking our worth
Is something much more than this

Hold your breath
We're sinking down for miles in an ocean full of mortal mistake, where the light is much clearer
Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck?
Further we lower us down

The walls are closing in
We're cluttering
All that is meant for us is lost
Bite your tongue
Can we search a little deeper for what our actions will cost
Where we fail is thinking our worth is something much more than this

Can we find a place where we finally
Can think for ourselves?
Our thoughts are unspoken
We can fly, yes, we can soar
Staring in the face what we choose to accept,
But can't ignore
Life is knocking at your door
This is calling to the human race
We are alone the more we segregate
And I won't be part of this in the end


9. FOUR LIGHTS

(Instrumental)


10. PSYCHOSPHERE

Silence is bringing on the heart attack
Pushing and pulling, going on within my brain says
To lay low
(To lay low)

Dead end, the darkness latches on now I am
A product of a mind that wasn't ever mine and now it says
Kill them slow
(Kill them slow)

Weighed down, I’m drowning in this stale moment
Renown is yelling at me from above
This is a one way road
Kill them slow

Long ago I was forced to drink
Now I long for a taste
Of what stains the murder in red
Straight back to the moment of a distant memory

Strip away all the empathetic
Feeling towards a world that’s grown
Absent of all my love

Sadistic, sadistic horror
(Sadistic horror)
(Horror)

Dead end, the darkness latches on now I am
A product of a mind that wasn't ever mine and now it says
Kill them slow
(Kill them slow)

Weighed down, I’m drowning in this stale moment
Renown is yelling at me from above
This is a one way road
Kill them slow

Stop fucking pulling, will you release the grip and let go?!
I've got a life to live and a life to end
I'll hang 'em up, leave a bloody mess all around
Bow my head and calmly walk away

Kill them slow
