1. TERMINAL

Dear departing heart
How will you leave?
I'm not unlike the others
I'm not unlike the others am I?

We knew that time would come take it
Our truce so temporary
I have turned on the things I love
A choice that you made for me

Why do those eyes now look away? Now I
I am the same, just where you left me
And in the presence of so-called foes
You'll find the wretchеd are those you've hеld close

Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve
Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve

Sing me the anthem you're all preaching
Straight from the cut of your mouth
Teach me those secrets you're all cradling
Hiding in the depths of your keep

With what's been done, how could you say that this land is for me? (Land is for me)
Where is this peace you claim? (Peace you claim)
And in the end, what will be left for your seed to believe? (Seed to believe)
Where is this peace you claim?
My mutiny
My last chance to face what's in front of me
What will come of a one man's trek
To the deepest parts of discovery?

Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve
Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve

Sing me the anthem you're all preaching
Straight from the cut of your mouth
Teach me those secrets you're all cradling
Hiding in the depths

With what's been done, how could you say that this land is for me?
Where is this peace you claim?
My heart, my home, my grave
All in a place whose name I cannot speak


2. SHADOW SELF

What we won't save will be praised
Will be praised

Lost in loathing, and set to destruct
There's no seeing you again
Tread this lurid path of what should not
Please don't wait for me my friend
Just close your eyes, we'll be there in no time
Just close your eyes, horror's reprise

Possession in the wake of self-defeat, the shadow self
I've always been what waits for you in the end
In your sleep your dark half's waking
Submitting, induce the shadow self
In your sleep, your dark half's waking
Submitting, induce the shadow self

Swayed by vilе yet familiar tongue
Show me where this life begins
Horrid master I now invoke
Guide me in this cold descent
Just close your eyes, we'll be there in no time
Just close your eyes, horror's reprise

Possession in the wake of self-defeat, the shadow self
I've always been, what waits for you in the end
In your sleep your dark half's waking
Submitting, induce the shadow self
In your sleep, your dark half's waking
Submitting, induce the shadow self

There is no one left
What we won't save will be praised
We will not be saved


3. WILT

Misplace my memory, a brain in decay
Like all those creatures with forgotten names
All that I cherish is fading away
Like all those colors that peel in our wake

Now tell me
Where they are hiding and who is this man?
How is it
I can't remember just how lost I am?

Slip into the hexing fog without name
A scourge forgotten, I am plague

Further away from the roots that I've laid
My perception is blurring, this blight holds its sway
Alone in the stillness a memory opaque
Hunted by a monster behind my own face
Purge my loves one at a time
Thеn bask in the glow

Slip into the hexing fog without name
A scourge forgotten
I am damned to dwell within this box
Corrupting a life forgotten, I am plague

Mind decrepit
Past ingested

I am the plague of paling
A fiend who preys on memories
I am claimed and empty
I am claimed and empty


4. A SAVAGE PLEA

Closing on me, hounding the peace worth keeping
Towards me he rows
Son, you face what's left alone
I can hear hunger's savage plea
I can feel death's claws clutching me
Dragging me

We watch as meddle is mined from the hearts of lions
Take from my will, collect the remains

My faith is septic along with the rest of me
I hold the word
Tiring hands will seek their sleep
My faith is septic along with the rest of me
I hold the word
Tiring hands will seek their sleep

And as the sun wilts, he'll rise
It won't be long now
Hе's in the dark whispering about the placе
Awaiting with no name
Promising only the beginning

Say, can you hear hunger's savage plea?
Forage my tragedy
Macabre reality coursing through this anatomy
Cold vital agony cascade into eternity
Hard to breathe, stay with me
These wailing bones can feel him coming
I can't see, please don't leave
An unsealed soul is for the taking

Seeker waiting in the corner
Hear him growl behind poised teeth

Closing on me, hounding the peace worth keeping
Hold on to hope
As the living veil unfurls
Draped in the cloth of time and dearth
It won't be long now

Say, can you hear hunger's savage plea?
Forage my tragedy
Macabre reality coursing through this anatomy
Cold vital agony cascade into eternity


5. LABYRINTHIAN

Flawed form built for beating
Frail heart prone to mutiny
Formed by my failure
Arming me for Labyrinthian

All that I am, toward Labyrinthian
On this path scatter the ashes of the vainest parts of me
Toward Labyrinthian

Time with hands of spite
Shapes what we leave behind
Find what you had prized
Has grown sick by your side
May they forgive me
I just had to try

If I don't make it back
Know that I fought with all I am
Farewell, my brother, please remember
It was my finest hour

And through it all
I walk this maze alone
To find my path toward Labyrinthian
And through it all
I walk this maze alone
To find my path toward Labyrinthian
Far from all the others
Chasing a cruel miragе
I feel like I'm close
Wandering towards thе distant ghost

All that I am, toward Labyrinthian
On this path scatter the ashes of the vainest parts of me
Toward Labyrinthian


6. I SLEEP, I WAKE

I can’t recognize what I won’t leave behind.

Am I sleeping?
Her voice calls me to wake.
A fate wandering.
These rooms have grown,
what’s happened to my home?
Walls sprawl, beams bend,
the walk which has no end.

Scour the endless towards what I’ll never find.
I know you’re here, why do I feel left behind?
I can’t recall how long it’s been,
or what’s left of this death I live.
Bound to forget, and join the forgotten.
Like the body, the soul becomes rotten.
I can’t recall how long it’s been,
or what’s left of this death I live.

I can’t recognize what I won’t leave behind.

A-gain waking, my nightmare in rewind,
these features blurring.
Dead steps shall roam,
true Hell is spent alone.
I sleep, I wake,
no life for me to take.

Dark halls, wind and swallow.
Dark halls, bleak and hollow.

Just when I think there’s no one,
emerging from the black.
He is the purest hunger,
and the drinker of what’s left.

I will not, relinquish my hold.
Our memory washed out in the tide’s pull.
What is lost may wait in the light.
In death I sleep, I wake.
In death I sleep, I wake.
In death I sleep, I wake.


7. HEIR TO NONE

Majesty, call your silent court for thee
Celebrate, prop foul pomp on wooden stakes
Primacy, purge what's filthy in our streets
Consummate, a posh dream of lunacy

Orations linger in empty halls
I, the heir to none
True heir to none, phantom acropolis
True heir to none, phantom acropolis

Majesty, call your silent court for thee
Celebrate, prop foul pomp on wooden stakes
Primacy, purge what's filthy in our streets
Consummate, a posh dream of lunacy

Fabled king, hear those wailing horns sing
Fabled king, stained throne of suffering
Nigh it be, this lie is crumbling
Nigh it be, your last offering

Exile's creation, self-imposed fate
Ego's defacement, banished by hate
False kingdom of no flag and no rule to keep
Shunned sultan with no purpose, trapped in the bleak

Fabled king, hear those wailing horns sing
Fabled king, stained throne of suffering
Nigh it be, this lie is crumbling
Nigh it be, your last offering
Your last offering
Bring them at once
Can you hear me?
Where hath thy hand?
Need breeds necessity


8. SHROUD

Covet which cannot grow, must fill what’s empty
Declare your purest self missing

Behold your doppelganger’s voracious appetite and wayward counsel
I owe on an open debt, mortgaging my content in numbing doses
Decay will take its place, embedding itself in the cracks of me
Alter my pain to taste, convincing, excess becomes God you see

When there's nothing left to barter with
What will you take from me?
Cursed character shrouded by this disguise
Drainеd of all verve, a soul denied

This hunt for the dimming glow
Transforming this life I knew into bedlam
Disease of a sickened soul, beginning with a vow to forsake myself
Decay will take its place, embedding itself in the cracks of me
Alter my pain to taste, convincing, excess becomes God you see

When there's nothing left to barter with
What will you take from me?
Cursed character shrouded by this disguise
Drained of all verve, a soul denied

A sickened soul denied, left to a dimming glow

Purged and calcified
Purged and calcified
I have little to trade
Some crooked bones and the relics of no use to me
Now what is left to cheat?
Those swindled loves, and their haunting of my masquerade


9. ATLAS

Doubt's crushing slate

Trusts heavy ore
It's getting harder to hold their weight
Splintering
I can't hold much longer
A worn, edging will, the death of this body
Hear the words I cannot speak
Within my pledge hides treachery

Grasp slipping hope
While breathing smoke
Left behind in the ash I've primed is the sleeping fiend that won't die
I turn in this pit of mine, I shed away my decaying hide

In my blood I swore it, how I forgot to be
In spite of my glory, there's no good left in me
A last stand's redemption is only for the saints
I will burn this body to find my inner peace

Below
Doubt's crushing slate

A worn, edging will, the death of this body
Hear the words I cannot speak
Within my pledge hides treachery
We're stranded at the isle of mind
There is no rescue coming in time
Bid farewell to a life contrived
As we fade into the tide

In my blood I swore it, how I forgot to be
In spite of my glory, there's no good left in me
A last stand's redemption is only for the saints
I will burn this body to find my inner peace

Open the door
Where you will burn forever

I will burn this body
There is no inner peace
I will burn this body
There is no inner peace


10. WE, THE DROWNED

The gallant light won't come for us
Here we're on our own
Our ships of strength sunk below us
Here we are the drowned

Betrayed, left in the grey, faith falls apart and slips away
Where's your hope now in Hell?
Where's your hope now here in Hell?
There's not much time left and promise that you will stay with me
Please come close now, I feel so tired but death has its hints of ecstasy

Lured by your rapture, with malice I laid
Mired as I watch it morph into decay
Where have you run to? And why won't you stay?
Here in the land that gave up on its fate

The gallant light won't come for us
Here we're on our own
Our ships of strength sunk below us
Here we are the drowned

This façade, art of feign, I've come to face what I am not
These demons hounding me to finish what my mother wrought
This façade, art of feign, I've come to face what I am not
These demons hounding me to finish what my mother wrought
No one to see you through
Now it's time to go
One thing you must know
We're all on our own
I won't see my home
We're all on our own
We're all on our own
For we are the drowned

Façade art of feign, I've come to face what I am not
I am not
Demons hounding me to finish what my mother wrought
I've come
I've come to face what I am
