Tracks



01. Rational Eyes

Pure resistance unborn to the fraudulent world
Face revision the spawn of hate
Forgiveness is distant now
Rising against the origin

I am only one
Scanning the surface with rational eyes
Driving deeper well reach our demise
This cannot go on

I can see this world is all alone
I won't be a victim
I can feel the end of all I've known
I won't be a victim

Our world will fall
In the end man will rise and kill all
This can't go on

I can see this world is all alone
I won't be a victim
I can feel the end of all I've known
I won't be a victim

I am understanding why
All these miles away
I am understanding why
All these miles away

I'm not the enemy
I'm not the enemy

02. As I Destruct

I embrace this pitiful race
Reaching out to a world of disgrace
I'm willing to sacrifice
Implosion of emotion never reaching prime

Burning inside the mind
All these thoughts must unwind
Stirring close to the edge
Never reaching the end

I'm falling down
Forever in spite over you
Save me as I fall
As I destruct

It's not too late
To design and reveal a notion
It's not too late
To indulge and find a solution

My silence
Won't heal the damage inside me
Fallen from grace
I refuse to die with the answers

Time to go
Into the void, to the unknown
Time to go
Today will mark evolution

[Solo]

When all is lost
I'll never end
Striving to live again

When all is lost
I'll never end
Striving to live again

Live again
Striving to live again

Live again
Striving to live again

03. One Last Breath

Burn the bridges of the empire
The kingdom will fall
Infection of democracy
Bleed the weak and sew the eyes, of them all

My solace will not bring us down
Generations fall to the ground
The absence, the sorrow, ensue
Mind fucking the truth

Feel so far away
It's burning on the inside
I am so cold
One last breath

[Solo]

Count the victims as they die
Embed the thought in your mind
Regression of peace for all life
Man, the power, the drive, will decide

The violence will drag us down
As blood spills we fall to the ground
This world will never be a slave
We must embrace

Feel so far away
It's burning on the inside
I am so cold
One last breath

It's time to rise

[Solo]

Every day more people die
And by the sake of fighting
It will kill us all
It will kill us all

Feel so far away
It's burning on the inside
I am so cold
One last breath

One last breath
One last breath

04. Seeing Red

Blind the eyes of humanity
Twisting the minds of this race
Living disgrace
Abomination driving everyone towards the hate
Towards the hate

I am justified to unite with my own kind
Not to follow, not to prejudge
I decide who's real from what's revealed
This shattered past can't conceal

For all the tears I've shed
This one for you is red
Is red

What will it take
To repent your mistakes?
This war will be won
We've only just begun

The blood has been shed and the rows
Upon rows of the dead are unknown
The victims who lie deep beneath us
At peace are not forgotten

For all the tears I've shed
This one for you is red
It's so unreal
It's so unreal

For all the tears
The tears I've shed
I'm bleeding and so should you

05. A New Beginning

Face down on the way to the end
I'm fighting to breathe, don't bury me
Consume our lives, control our minds
I've taken the strength that was left behind

I'm pulling deeper from within
The answer bleeding through my skin
Serenity dies

If I could breathe again
I'd choose a new beginning

Salvation will save us all
The lacerations will heal
Rise beyond the threshold
Surpass all obstructions
We will survive
We will survive

I'm pulling deeper from within
The answer bleeding through my skin
Serenity dies

If I could breathe again
I'd choose a new beginning

I'm falling away from this artificial life
I'm falling away from this artificial life

Omit treason passed upon the
My revelation
Beginning a new life

06. Counterbalance

I have embraced your innocence
I've been cut through the flesh
And I can resist, building life again

Drawn back to the edge
To the essence of my fear
With every ounce of strength
I intend to survive this life

And we are shaped into
A mold that we can't choose

Deception will bury us all, animosity
For the actions that kill all respect and desire

[Solo]

Drawn back to the edge
To the essence of my fear
With every ounce of strength
I intend to survive this life

And we are shaped into
A mold that we can't choose

And we are hopeless now
Bring back the day
And we are hopeless now

[Solo]

I'm lost again
Dead inside
Drowning without you now
Lost again
Drowning without your love
Dead inside
Dead inside your eyes
Lost again
Dying without you

07. Inane

Impaled by the thorn
Mechanical inane its your sacrifice
Rational thought evaded by false concept
Collapse and paralyze, paralyze

I am turning the inside out
For the rest of duration
I am turning the inside out
For the rest of duration

Penetrate to feel on the inside
Grip of lust or love I cant decided
Tears thicken self-control overrides repressed
Release is dignified

I am turning the inside out
For the rest of duration
I am turning the inside out
For the rest of duration
Duration

Fallen down to my knees
Bleeding violently over me
Silenced by words of hate
Laying motionless walking toward the light

[Solo]

08. Now

The face of the deceitful ones
Lies in the veins held inside
Slowly bleeding, impeding our lives
Until war has begun

Now it's time to display our aggression
Now it's time to explode

Now we build up a wall of retention
Now we hold our own

Seething all these words unsaid
It's time to believe what's right
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

They are the ones, the degradation
Cheat, deceive and lie
Contrive the end of us all
Retribution is now, vengeance is now

Seething all these words unsaid
It's time to believe what's right

Seething all these words unsaid
It's time to believe what's right

They are the ones
The degradation
They are the ones
Your time is now

Your time is now
Your time is now
Your time is now

09. Faceless

Dawn the face of a new generation
The revision of life is here
Born into segregation
Second guess the existence of you

Falling into the hell below
Not understanding the reason why

Punish the weak
To release all the hate inside
Thine eyes are so bleak
Your intentions seem to drive us in the ground

There's nothing left to breathe for
This life was dead before it began
Now it's time to accept the end

There's nothing left to breathe for
This life was dead before it began
Now it's time to accept the end

Taken the life
From the one that created you
Holding the knife
Unleash the rage that's been haunting you

Nothing seems to change
Your life has slipped away, fallen within
Silenced bound enslaved
Your locked away, rotting within

As time slips away
The cage will rust
And life will go on
As you fall to dust

Fall to dust

10. Haunting

Aggression is burning
It fuels my own obsessions
The blood drains out
Inspires my inspiration

I can't breathe
I'm trapped in concrete
Close my eyes
Kill me in my sleep
I'm just a number to them

Erratic pulses surge
My mind in tension
Bleeding incisions
Restrained into submission

I can't breathe
I'm trapped in concrete
Close my eyes
Kill me in my sleep
I'm just a number to them

The righteous are forced into exile
I'm not alone

Reaching the end in this cage
I can't hold on
All that was me
I've come to be
Where I belong
I am prepared to die

11. When All Is Said And Done

Break the chains
And release me from this struggle
I have the right to see freedom
Not like the rest
So weak and powerless
I rise to face the day

Burn down my whole inspiration
Burn me into the ground
I will never surrender or silence

[Solo]

Bind to false ideals and never let them go
Fake words for the feeble minded
My path is strong
We need to find redemption
Remove your face from the dirt

Burn down my whole inspiration
Burn me into the ground
I will never surrender or silence

When all is said and done
We are to blame
I search to find the answer
But nothing seems to fit, I am disposed

With this shadow walking beside me
I'm not alone
With all this weight on my shoulders
Dragging me down
I'm not alone

Trusting life in the hands
Of the ravenous ones
Breathing lies until the end
Until the end of man
Raping the world from the inside
Killing us all

I vow to serve and protect myself from this mess
I vow with utmost intent, no lies

Drown the population
With the revolting gallons they have bled
Reap and pillage, find the truth
And see how we've been misled

[Solo]

And this world we call our home
Will in turn decay
Till the end of days

And we're blinded by the sun
That consumes the day
Till the end of me
