Tracks



01. March Of The Dead

[Instrumental]

02. Into Oblivion

It hurts to see you live you life revolving around death
And to see your heart when I can't see your face
So far away
One foot in front of the other, step to the right
Time has it's way and I'll be right here waiting for you

03. One Man Parade

Behold the man without stregth
The strongest man that ever lived
Behold the end of all things
The end of all things just beginning
The weak are marching on with one objective
Take back the times
These days are evil
No one can stop them
The dead rise up to praise You
Your love goes far beyond the grave
It's life or death
Now make your choice
Whose side are you on?

04. Elegy

Death reigns over Earth
Opressing justice and truth
Nations plagued by despair
Collapsing hopelessly into themselves

We watch while sanity dies
Forever lost upon the Earth
Countless souls embracing condemnation
One by one marching to the grave

Into the Mouth of the ruin that feeds upon the Damned and the deceived
And they will cry; there is no life here only death deceived

Wide is the path that leads to destruction
Wide is that pathway down into the pit of despair

05. Night's Sorrow

[Instrumental]

06. The Epigone

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said
I'm just repeating myself repeating someone else
Equally incapable of uttering a single new thought
Yet you are ever worthy of adoration
So how can I for a moment cease to lift my heart in praise?
Your name is glory
My song is victory
And I will keep on singing
There is no oppostion
No thing can stand in your way
Make my life your own

07. Beyond Adaptation

I bear these scars
A constant reminder of my own inadequacy
I've held everything and nothing all at once
And all at once been altogether broken
But even scars fade with time
Only You remain
And my determination is not enough
Even so, I bear these scars

08. No Fall Too Far

My heart has never been enough
Breathing just barely gets me by
For a time
The consequences of being human won't be undone by human hands
I turn my head and see it all falling apart
But You're still here, un-phased by me
I'm holding on
I'm holding on to you
I move my eyes from fixation on a fallen world
I'm holding onto you, un-phased by me
These walls fall down around me but I will stand
And though my body be burned away I will live life

09. Ex Nihilo

The time has come
Arise from death
Victory is close at hand
Take up the sword and follow me
Out of nothing into a new creation
A thousand decades of despair will pass away in an instant
And You and I will be there
With hands raised in victory
Fall on your knees
The time has come

10. Denouement

[Instrumental]

11. The Trivial Paroxysm

So it begins
And I am surrounded by my enemies
Darkness seems like my closest friend
Suffering and waiting for you
Each breath feels like my last
But that won't stop me
I've seen the way it finds
I won't give up
Carry on til then
And though I'm incapable of sustaining myself even for a moment
I will outlive time
Carry on
