Looking back through the glass
The results of all that was
Breaking through thinly veiled realms
Spectral figures at the helm

Forced out of tranquility
Peeling back the layers of reality
Absorbing these visions
Revealing what is yet to be

In the minds eye
We see
Rejection of fragility

Synthetic spirits invading me
Through blood flow influencing
Creating a false existence


Abandoned in this mental hell
Sinking deeper inside this shell
I melt away

Distant voices they follow me
Entrenched in torture subconsciously
Within the mind there"s no escape
A maze of torment consumed by hate

Playing with conjuration
Necromantic communication
Evil messengers form evocative and ominous
A swarm of atrocities come to life

So follow and listen for I am calling from the abyss
Heed my call from the back of your mind
The darkest thoughts you can find
So follow and listen for I am calling from the abyss

[Solo: Chavez]
[Solo: Small]

Twisting your Mind
Heed my call from the back of your mind
Unfounded evil that lies within
The darkest thoughts you can find
So follow and listen for I am calling from the abyss

In this godless endeavor the hell priests have bestowed to me
Set out to decimate to rip and tear the demons bane
Consuming hellish war a feast of flesh in earth's domain
A prayer for the weak a prelude to calamity

Chaos, Malediction, execration
Guided by their evil wisdom
Chaos, Consumes my life my very being
Arcane magic epitomize brutality

Overwhelming hordes pursued with faded breath
The urge to kill in the soul
Just When the end is near I will rise again
These realms a world within itself
Architects of confusion I can not understand
Where is it leading to another circle of hell

Enhanced by cosmic bane vile knowledge beyond all man
The voice of hope brilliance beyond their wisdom

The more they repeat
The more you understand
What you can not deny
A truth he speaks
From a book he writ
Passing down these abstract commands

Speaking heresy
Unaware
Of the damage done to the naive ones
Poisoned minds filled with rhetoric
From ideas passed down by a heretic

The more they repeat
The more you understand
What you can not deny
A truth he speaks
From a book he writ
Passing down these abstract commands

Indoctrinate
Their actions demonstrate
Undying servitude
For you anything they will do

Ignorant to your ways
Their lives you complicate
With your sacred phrase
Minds you manipulate
Feed lies to the voracious
For a truth born of one sided concepts

All the lies you speak and they will listen
The voice of hope brilliance beyond their wisdom

The more they repeat
The more you understand
What you can not deny
A truth he speaks
From a book he writ
Passing down these abstract commands

This Past life taken so sudden
Reaching out no vision no closure
Hearing those voices so familiar
Left behind in pieces it's becoming clearer

I have left
My soul is gone
But my body still remains

As they watch over
Speaking these words so sacred
I absorb these words
As I take them with me
Into the unknown

[Solo: Lee]
[Solo: Chavez]

I have left my soul is gone but my body still remains
Sanctuary within the brain
I'm still alive inside my mind the after life it exists
After this conscious descent

It all begins again
This sinking feeling
So familiar another episode of grief
So remorseless a test of my adversity
Cherished moments torn from the mind
Replaced by what is yet to be
The exception of what fate has in store for me

Fight Through loss ; Reborn in tragedy
Sacrifice another piece of me

All sense of self respect stripped away
Antagonistic tactics used to manipulate
What I have left, the urge to preserve this life

And so now I force myself to continue this unknown path
As I separate from the past
And try to hide the mistakes and mental strain
My only choice to escape is to dissociate

Sleepless nights; They never end
Induced and influenced; The memory stains
Reliving these years; Dwell on the past
Hold on to everything around you, these times will not last

To move on; is it all worth it
Discovering a new purpose
Seeking the truth; an answer you can not find
Developing a new understanding within time

Relinquished expectation searching for distinction
An effort so useless
Seeking the truth
This life served in bondage
Built upon a promise
Warped understandings that creates confusion
Willingly blind to the process but all aware of the illusion

And what should I expect? As these thoughts collect
Desperate for a solution
The endless path I will trek

[Solo: Chavez]

Familiarity
Forever this union
Spiteful words
Held back
For too long
What you could not expect
Devolved into abhorrence

This life served in bondage built upon a promise

[Solo: Chavez]

Desperate for a solution the endless path I will trek

[Solo: Barhoum]

Life will persist, the privilege to exist
These times won't last you can't revisit the past
Only when I close my eyes to remember the time
When all these goals were clear no matter the cost
Remembrance reserved for those who we've lost
As we trek on
When time becomes loss
