Tracks



01. In Extremis

Prisms will deceive you when you start to fade, do not fear
Prison, no longer strangled by the rules of the game, who's to blame

Rainbows, they only laugh when you cry
Lighting has struck you not once but twice
Warfare, it will subside when you are blind
Love's within your reach and there's no time

By my side, come closer if you can, I'm near the end
Say goodbye, I'll still be listening, don't you cry

A silent room with solitude
Playing your final hand
With nothing more that they can do
Do you know where you stand

When you are forced, forced to move on
Nothing can break you, nothing can break you again

Terror, a haunting gaze no one can seem to break, time draws near
Clearer, you right the wrongs before you reach the gates, can't escape

Rainbows, they only laugh when you cry
Lighting has struck you not once but twice
Warfare, it will subside when you are blind
Love's within your reach and there's no time

By my side, come closer if you can, I'm near the end
Say goodbye, I'll still be listening, don't you cry
Time to fly

02. Chapters

Not so fast, you gotta take it slow, do you feel the way I do
And all the pain beyond the pale leaving all what's left to be
Once young it stood beside me

A rhythm of time a heavy load, drifts away like a traveling show
A winter's cold a summer haze and the sunset on display
Lament the years and memories, no doubt, time's out, can't you see

The morning's gone, the daylight hides, as the hours slip away
Pictured lives from a movie scene, alter lights to a slow degree
Once young but now behind me

A rhythm of time a heavy load, drifts away like a traveling show
A winter's cold a summer haze and the sunset on display
Lament the years and memories, no doubt, time's out, can't you see

A rhythm of time a heavy load, drifts away like a traveling show
A winter's cold a summer haze and the sunset on display
Lament the years (lament the years) and memories, no doubt, time's out, can't you see

03. Lost In Sorrow

You pray to justify a fatal truth
A painful alibi, you try to see
You can run but you cannot hide, and the scars still they bleed inside of me
The crucifix it won't save you anymore

The mystery of your eyes they cry to let me in
But signals fire out of time for me
Find the demon that holds the key
That can unlock the magic in your dreams
With one exit is this what you’re waiting for

I can’t follow, lost in sorrow

Save me, I’m slipping into eternity, don’t you know
Tell me, you’re trying to understand, if you can
Take me, take me away to the promised land
Take me, I’m drifting further away

And when the sadness blows away, and there’s no more tears to cry
Just remember who was there, was always you and I

The memories keep us warm until the very end
Serenity that drips with fantasy
Be the story that they will tell, one of pleasure or just an empty shell
All systems down and closing one by one

I can’t follow, lost in sorrow

Save me, I’m slipping into eternity, don’t you know
Tell me, tell me you’re trying to understand, if you can
Take me, take me away to the promised land
Take me, I’m drifting further away

Oooh won’t you save me, I know you’re gonna save me
Won’t you save me, tell me, take me
Won’t you save me, tell me, take me

04. Sicdeth

What to believe, what is deceit, it's all around
Look at the zombies who'll cut off their heads, they're right beside you
Who's lost their way and who has to pay, the truth makes no difference
My rights, bright lights, in god's name they still pray,
A season of sicdeth is calling their name

Take charge, hit hard, move on and don't look back
Take charge, hit hard, move on and make no excuses

There's nowhere, nowhere to run in this life
So confined, trapped in a cell left to die
But there's still one final freedom
A world where no one knows

Those eyes they cry such pain untold
They search, ask why, a void so cold

A fateful time now awaits her
Silence fills the air, the irony of life from death
Twelve of them said toss the key
A punishment to haunt her endlessly
Beauty always cut more than skin deep

A new day has come, prepare to commence a new kind of slaughter
Witness the violence, a social asylum, welcome you all digital noise alliance

There's nowhere, nowhere to run in this life
So confined, trapped in a cell left to die
But there's still one final freedom
A world where no one knows

Those eyes they cry such pain

05. Behind The Walls

Tunnels, do you partake, do you forsake in the great divide
Ostracized, so all that remains in the shadows is an empty smile
Criticized, traumatized, an evil so deep that watches you sleep
The true sacrifice, oh true sacrifice

When you're crashing down
Tumbling to the ground
I'll break the fall

Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?

Shapeshift, carefully morphing the demons in your mind
A sinister frown turned upside down only lasts for a while
Tell me dear mother, is this our father the spirit and holy ghost
And when will it end, this bleeding within, you can't disguise

When you're crashing down
Tumbling to the ground
I'll break the fall

Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?

Hide, behind the walls
No savior or prayer can protect you

When you're crashing down
Tumbling to the ground

Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love you?

06. Nocturnal Light

What's become of you, what's become of me, and all we breathe

Cold soul no visitors (in the chambers tonight)
You breathe the cost of your demise
Your soul to take in plain sight
No spoken word but always there

Don't need no trigger to waste you away
Your words will fall casting memories of shade
These empty crowds and falling stars

And time and time again lost in emptiness
A victim of circumstance, you leave no stone

Play the role this masquerade
You speak your mind do as your told
No time to waste in plain sight
Stand all alone, no breath of air

A broken sinner with a halo of gold
An open mind as the secrets unfold
The pendulum will swing tonight

And time and time again lost in emptiness
A victim of circumstance, you leave no stone

No, No

You thrive and revel but who's to blame
A vicious circle in your own parade

And time and time again lost in emptiness
A victim of circumstance, you leave no stone

07. Out Of The Black

Hold me, to blind to see
Do you wait for me in sorrow
I'm not mad, with open arms I stand
I will open each and every door

Lonely, adrift at sea
Will you ever face tomorrow
Take a stand, devise an exit plan
Chase the dreams that take you in the night

When you find yourself alone
In your empty house that's not a home

Every night it's the same old place and time (never left me far away)
And every stare from the past seems out of line
And in the dark of night, when every door is closed
And no one seems to hear your screams deep within your soul

In, into the black, lights out again
Can, can anyone reach you, you're on your back again, back again
Can anyone reach you, you're on your back again, back again

When you find yourself alone
In your empty house that's not a home

Every night it's the same old place and time (never left me far away)
And every stare from the past seems out of line
And in the dark of night, when every door is closed
And no one seems to hear your screams deep within your soul

08. Forest

Leaves blow away
There they go
There they go
Please won't you stay
Don't you know
I couldn't miss you anymore

I can feel you all around
One more sign tonight
Make a sound or dim the lights

(Ah ah ah) Help me find a way
Yesterday's a memory, but it's all I have today

Seasons they change
Nice and slow
Don't you know
Tides rolling in
Ebb and flow
Can swallow you then let you go

I can feel you all around
One more sign tonight
Is this real or in my mind

(Ah ah ah) Help me find a way
(Ah ah ah) Through this maze of misery
(Ah ah ah) Lost without a trace
Yesterday's a memory and tomorrow's too far away

Feed the senses, take what cleanses your soul

(Ah ah ah) Help me find a way
(Ah ah ah) Through this maze of misery
(Ah ah ah) Lost without a trace
Come see me in my dreams

09. Realms

Who's gonna wear your crown
Who's gonna break your fall
As your kingdom crumbles, broken down to sand and dust
Tangled in your bed of nails

You've become the depths of your remains
The straight and narrow lies behind the realms

Who's gonna face your fears
Who's gonna lie in your bed
And there's no remorse, the shame for all the world to see
Pride comes before a fall

You've become the depths of your remains
The straight and narrow lies behind the realms

I close my eyes still wide awake

You've become the depths of your remains
The straight and narrow lies behind the realms

And there's no remorse, who's gonna face your fears

10. Hold On

No one cares to whisper anymore
They shout over the other
No one cleans the floor, the days long gone when less was more
Take and take, that's all that they can do, but there's a better way

And if you only knew that you could find
A different point of view now left behind

You gotta hold on, survive the rain, the lessons in between don't let 'em get away
Hold on, let's turn the page, no one's trying, are you trying today

A culture bleeding out for all to see
No longer reservation
There are many roads, but there's one path that pays ten-fold
And there's something you can do, but there's a better way

If you could only see beyond the screen
That what you thought you knew is not what it seems

You gotta hold on, survive the rain, the lessons in between don't let 'em get away
Hold on, let's turn the page, the ending nobody knows but they can't let go

Don't you give in, just reach deep within
Kindness costs nothing, there is a greatness that lives right inside you, right inside you

11. Tormentum

Terror down below he buckles to his knees
Fire in the hole to crack the secrecy
Allegiance pushed to another extreme
Natural born killer occult regime

Another victim, show me a sign
Indignation, lights again
Suffocation, lights again
Domination, lights again
Isolation, lights

Watching and waiting they probe endlessly
But they can't competefor the pain runs too deep
Spawning the next hundred years of revenge
Death is their honor and means to transcend

Now who's the victim, you've crossed that line

As pursuant to the Geneva Convention, no exceptional
circumstances, whether a threat of war, a state of war,
political instability, public emergency, order from a
superior officer or a public authority
may not be invoked as a justification of torture.

How will it end, who makes the call
They'll never get it all as the sorrows stain the floor
When will it break the will to survive
What will it take you're still alive, death before dishonor stays
A war of sheer insanity, the false facade of piety
Still the game plays on

12. Rebel Yell

Last night the little dancer
Came dancing to my door
Last night the little angel came
Pumping on my floor
She said, "Come on, baby
I got a license for love
And if it expires
Pray help from above"
Because

In the midnight hour
She cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried
More, more, more - Wow!
In the midnight hour, babe
More, more, more
With a rebel yell
More, more, more
More, more, more

She don't like slavery
She won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely
She sleeps in bed
What set you free and brought
You to me, babe?
What set you free?
I need you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried
More, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried
More, more, more - Wow!
In the midnight hour, babe
More, more, more
With a rebel yell
More, more, more

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the 7-11
Well he's out all night to
Collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it
Don't mess up his hair
Ow! Ow!

I walked the world with you
Babe
A thousand miles for you
I dried your tears of pain
A million times for you
I'd sell my soul for you, babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all
And have none, babe
Justa, justa, justa
Just to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried
More, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried
More, more, more - Wow!
In the midnight hour, babe
More, more, more
With a rebel yell
More, more, more
More, more, more
Ooh yeah, little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more, more
Oh yeah, little angel
She want more
More, more, more, more, more
