Lyrics


1. DESOLATE

(Instrumental)


2. ATLAS

I am the navigator, cast away for my mistakes. banished never to return, this was the place that I called home.
I have wasted so much time, daydreaming about our next step in life.
When I made the ultimate sacrifice, I knew what I was leaving behind.
I am the navigator cast away from my mistakes.
condemned to exile, we are abolished from this place.
(You held the world but who is... holding you)
we are stranded, this void leads us nowhere.
They are restricted from time and space.
They will never See us for who we are.
Nor will we ever, see them for the progress that they've made.
Is this all that I have, is this all that I have left.
All alone with death breathing down my neck (x2)
I tried to help you, I tried to save the world.
But you pushed me away into this bitter cold.
And the last glimpse that I caught, was a silhouette of a sphere.
As the stars aligned it eclipse all light from the earth.
I watched them disappear (x2)
I watched you disappear.


3. EMBERS

if I don't do this for myself I'll become the man that I never wanted to be.
These were my virtues these are my beliefs.
I need to cast them aside and make something of my dreams. I will show you, I will leave you all behind.
I will give this my all I will make it count.
I won't be an anchor I'll carry my own weight.
I will follow the sunrise, I will leave you behind because this is the only chance I had to make something of my life.
Here I am drenched in fear I should've stayed where my path was so clear.
Embrace, you must accept what you've done.
This is not the end, you've only scratched the surface.
As the seas begin to tremble and the ways turn black, I have put the fear of the ancient ones in their eyes.
My missions complete but at what cost I have given up on any hope that I had in you.
One day you will all be forgotten and what will make of you then
A new king will rise from the embers and we will all fade away,
This was the ugly truth that I tried to hide from you and tonight
I'm leaving you behind, humankind


4. HYPOCRITE

Go
You turned your back on me.
You see an anchor in me, I don't want to hold you back.
Despite my own intentions I know that this wont last.
After all this time alone I know that you'll bring me off my knees.
Now that I've opened my eyes I can finally see what you truly meant to me.
What you meant to me.
After all this time alone I finally got it figured out.
Now that I've opened my eyes, I know that you were never meant for me.
Being pulled in every direction, arms reaching out.
Despite my best intentions, I am meant to find my own way out.
And all the countless time I heard you through.
It's time for me to turn my back on, you.
You fucking hypocrite.
After all this time alone I know that you'll bring me off my knees.
Now that I've opened my eyes I can finally see what you truly meant to me.
Just set me free.
You see an anchor in me, I don't want to hold you back.


5. FOOTPRINTS

We have been searching for lost ground to find our footsteps that were forgotten through time.
But the only channels that I find are the moments aligned with you.
I never been down a narrow road, not one like this that so dark and cold.
Nobody understands nobody takes the time for a second see through obsidian eyes.
For what it's worth your move on to better days and you still have time to grow if you change your fucking ways.
Without saying goodbye, I have accepted fate and you'll never know that you were my creation.
As I rise from the clouds I see what the world has become in life, in death we fall victim to the same thing, pain.
I will never stop searching I won't give up.
I've let myself sink for the last time.
