1. OVERTURE

(Instrumental)


2. PANOPTICON

My eyes are blind with ignorance
I try to find a way but there is not a shred of my sense
That still remains, darkness surrounds
Filling my every breath
Fierce pain and absent memory
Power stealing all the thoughts about the thing that I seek
Apathy splintering through my mind
I lay alone here in the cold
How will I find a way to climb out of the trap for my soul ?
In my heart I am paralyzed, terrified
Daring to move myself away
The fear of letting go will take away my hope for relief
Is something wrong with me ? Curse my complacency

My will for contrition is confused by indecision
Breaking me down, this is my freedom
Take it away, but I can’t have it

It’s my freedom, but I can’t have what’s mine
It’s my freedom, and I am filled with fear.

Broken, abandoned in this place of my fallen soul
Suffocating darkness removing my shred of hope

I cannot find my place of peace
I cannot find the salvation that I seek

My eyes are blind, my soul is week
My spirits trapped, my future I can’t see

Broken, abandoned in this place of my fallen soul
Suffocating darkness removing my shred of hope

All this wasted time traveling toward a destination of self-destruction
Bandaging my wounds that refuse to heal
Searching for the panacea to release me
From my carnal prison
There is nothing that I can do to be free of this
There is no way for me to taste the freedom that I seek
There is no hope for me
There is no hope

My eyes adjust to the shadow embracing me
Memory recalls the perfection of my defeat

The veil lifts away and the truth becomes clear
I am a man and my enemy is here


3. SUZERAIN

Hello friend, remember me?
I’m the one that sets you free
I’m not here to start a fight
Take my hand into the night

Welcome back, its been a while
I’m sure that you have missed this place
You know me, I give you all
All of your desires
Never mind the pain you feel
You know that you can’t resist me
Why not taste the feast I’ve made
The amusement of the world

Take a bite
Just take one bite

In just one moment you will see
That all your power dies with me
Surrender your life into my hands
And all your troubles will melt away

Resistance is hopeless when I find you in my hands
The place that you have chosen to be
I do not wish to harm you any further than I have
But if it is a fight that you want
I’ll give you one that you won’t forget

I see you for who you are, and I will be rid of you
Fool! You have no power over me
You can’t steal my joy away with your masquerading
You’ll never know, you’ll never find
The weapon to vanquish me
I have the strength to beat you on my own
Nothing can be said, nothing can be done
My power over you shall never be defeated (still I must try)
No, you ignorant man, you have nothing to come against me
Even now as I strike you down
I wrap my chains around your soul

Oh my friend, we're here again, you're lying on the floor
Now you get your just reward, the price of your resistance
Take a bow, you tried your best but
There is nothing you can do
You’re just a man, a weak mass of flesh,
You are under my control

Resistance is hopeless when I find you in my hands
The place that you have chosen to be
I do not wish to harm you any further than I have
But if it is a fight you want, I’ll give you one


4. CONSEQUENCE

My time is up.
This is the place to reunite with my satisfaction
With my number called,
I contemplate my all to commonplace reaction

Feeling the urge to get away
And medicate all the suffering of my tormented soul
And I’m looking once again for a way to pay a visit
To my friend that’s constantly pressuring
Trace my path so I can find
A way to realize the feast made for my eyes
I’ve found my reason why
I’ve found my reason

So now the deed is done, erase the footsteps
Hide the evidence, remove the consequence
Retake my strength, my soul has fallen
To the place of darkness
I cannot seem to find a...

Place to rest, this lie is stifling my every breath
Just give me a chance to
Rest my mind, you are the product of my own desire
But I need something more than this

I need something more than all my misplaced passions,
Wrong reactions
That war against my own unfocused mind
Taking the time to contemplate
And dedicate the deformities of my broken existence
Finding myself to be enslaved
To a master taking me away to face my judgment day

I’ve found my reason

Place to rest, this lie is stifling my every breath
Just give me a chance to rest my mind, you are the product

Of my own desire but I need something more than this.
Place to rest, this lie is stifling my every breath just
Give me a chance to rest my mind,
You are the product of my own desire
But I need something more than this


5. REVELATION

Where is your hope?
Why have you loosened your hold?
Through the night of self-despair,
I’m reaching out.
Take my hand
Behold, I have made your soul.
You will never have to face another battle on your own.
For I have won the world.
My strength will make you strong and your enemy
Will fall by my hand if you choose to take it.
Behold, I have made your soul.
You will never have to face another battle on your own.
For I have won the world.
My strength will make you strong and your enemy
Will fall by my hand if you choose to take it,
My strength will make you strong.


6. INCULCATION

(Instrumental)


7. SEVERANCE

My eyes are blinded by the mighty truth that I have found
The endless joy of perfection interceding
Constant misdirection
I lay down my own soul compensating for wasted lies
Revering my savior with the penitence of blackened souls
Penitence of blackened souls
Take who I am, rip it away, take who you are,
Carry me through adversity
Take who I am, rip it away, take who you are,
Carry me through adversity
I am the one that shows you all the life that you can live
I am the one that descends from on high to hear your voice
I am the one

I come to you for protection, O Lord my God.
Save me from my persecutor—rescue me!
If you don’t, he will maul me like a lion,
Tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
O Lord my God, if
I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice, if
I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy
Without cause, then let my enemy capture me.
Let him trample me into the ground and drag
My honor in the dust.
Arise, O Lord, in anger!
Stand up against the fury of my enemies!
Wake up, my God, and bring justice!
Gather the nations before you.
Rule over them from on high.
Declare me righteous, O Lord, for I am innocent,
O Most High!
End the evil of those who are wicked,
And defend the righteous.
For you, O God, look deep within the mind and heart.

Arise and bring justice to the torment of my soul
And take a stand at the front lines of my embattled mind
Stand up and bring forth your own holy justice
And make me a way out of this sordid lie.

The dawn is breaking on the day that I will reclaim my heart
My lies and the torment have but to feel the swell of truth
I prepare my weapons for when the day of decision comes
Shall I choose my maker or refractory of creation?
I forsake the torment of my soul,
Resurrecting the truth of life
Bury my anguish and drown my sorrow
With the presence of the enthroned truth
Take heart, know that I have won your freedom
Broken chains and clarity will mark your legacy
Take up the weapons that I have forged just for you
Form the resistance;
Forsake the persistence for I have taken your soul away

Arise and bring justice to the torment of my soul
And take a stand at the front lines of my embattled mind
Stand up and bring forth your own holy justice
And make me a way out of this sordid lie.

Time to return to the path of my desires,
Follow the way of the world
Remember the table from which I did partake,
May my eyes receive release
I am not my own,
I forsake my soul with the hope of something greater,
Take my scars, and take my wounds and renew me to your own,

Grab my hand and prepare to fight,
It is time to wage your battle, taking heart,
Lift your banner high, for you are not alone.

Welcome back, you’re here again,
I’m sure that you have missed this place,
You are just a man, a weak mass of flesh,
You are under my control.

Give me your hands, give me your flesh,
Give me your eyes, give me your heart
This is not a question of why you despise me but
I will give the answer that you are misled
You will never realize your own taste for freedom,
Just follow me and I will give you everything
You place your trust in a fallen man,
In hopes that his death will save you
He can do nothing, his power is useless,
He holds no hope for you.
There is nothing I can do to gain my victory over you
Your hope is a lie, you shall never defeat me

You may(shall) never harm my chosen one, the victory is mine
I alone have won the victory, my blood has paid the price
My chosen ones will stand eternal through my sacrifice
Nevermore shall your soul be trapped by the lies that you created
You are mine, I make you strong through the power of my love

I am not my own,
I forsake my soul with the hope of something greater,
Take my scars, and take my wounds, renew me to your own,
I grab your hand and prepare to fight,
It is time to wage my battle,
My fight is won and my heart is new,
By the blood of Jesus Christ

Take my heart, take my soul, take my scars,
Take my wounds
Create anew this heart has chosen you.
