Midnight, imposing suspicion
Unaware, part of the grand design Lines have blurred Now return out into the world A fit of rage, the dagger's blade Kickstarts the massacre Straight divide, left to die Err of foolish youth The water's black No turning back Gone far beyond to see the truth Echoes resounding down the hall Read the writing on the wall This moment is sacred And nothing is trivial The place, gone forever Only inside it remains All is lost in ash Empty threat, a silhouette Dark against the moon Razor's edge cast revenge It'll all be over soon Blinding speed, the city bleeds All is red in view Earth is cracked, no going back Gone beyond to see the truth Seems as though There is a drastic change Now I know the nature of the beast True colors have been revealed Leave behind this world surreal Walk along the shore Before the tide has fallen As this chapter closes Reflections resolves in ash The moment is sacred And nothing is trivial This place, gone forever All is lost in ashes 02. Ruin Music & lyrics by Brian Koenig
Falling under the spell
Of false intention The ruin is coming down To consume me Blackened stare of hatred Rising from below Taste the ruin flow through My soul is drowning Resist, crushed by the ruin Realize that nothing can save me now Understanding over time The way it has to be Sacrifice all that became part of me Blackened stare of hatred Rising from below Taste the ruin flow through This world is dying Cut deep, tear out the demons That haunt me My soul is drowning Resist, crushed by the ruin Realize that nothing can save me now Decision to evict effects of self destruction Decision to evict, depths of logic disappear Repeat internally This world is dying Cut deep, tear out the demons That haunt me My soul is drowning Resist, crushed by the ruin Realize that nothing can save me now 03. Reformation Music & lyrics by Brian Koenig
Cast off the wicked
Verdict of absolution Survive in exile Outside the conformity Casting this dark reflection Calling forth the insurrection Product of destiny Force of hate Embracing doom Hand of fate 04. This Departure Music & lyrics by Brian Koenig
Talk of recreation
Opening the chamber door Entertain the veil Of impossibility And bitter consequence Beneath this pallid face of yore Shattered fragments take their hold And I fade away Drained of strength I take my leave The essence still remains Haunted by what might have been Sacrifice in vain With this departure, I bid farewell Pretend that this is all a dream Wide awake, I can't avert my gaze When reason fails, fleeting innocence Draws it's final breath Drained of strength I take my leave The essence still remains Haunted by what might have been Sacrifice in vain With departure, I bid farewell Forsaken with the darkness Calling out salvation Losing the will to fight temptation This moment must move on But the pain goes on and on Someday I will break these chains... Drained of strength I take my leave The essence still remains Haunted by what might have been Sacrifice in vain With departure, I bid farewell 05. The Absence Music & lyrics by Brian Koenig
Trapped outside
Meditating where the thoughts unfold Reveal the source of decay The space and atmosphere are growing, threatening Through the storm Fires burning deep inside these walls Invisible in twilight Nightmares and memories Entwined to stake a claim on sanity They fall around me The remnants of the past Take time in purgatory Broken inside me Draw strength from what has gone And I will carry on Echoes retain the sound of despair Strains of the filth Linger in the air Slashing, ripping though my mind Abrasive reckoning distorts reality Slipping away Not sure if I'll make it out alive They fall around me The remnants of the past Take time in purgatory Broken inside me Draw strength from what has gone And I will carry on Consider life Consider life as it's been known Consider emptiness With absolute invasion Existence disappears They fall around me The remnants of the past Take time in purgatory Broken inside me Draw strength from what has gone And I will carry on 06. Forever More Music & lyrics by Brian Koenig
For many years
Confined to the darkness The only chance to escape Light years away From the depths of the abyss Now risen to the clouds Looking down from up on high Confusion disappears and all is clear Rejoice in the majesty Unchained, bound to be free Lifelong destiny Reside forever more Divine forever more Distraction severing pure intention Everything falls into place Put these wheels in motion From the depths of the abyss Now risen to the clouds Looking down from up on high Confusion disappears and all is clear Rejoice in the majesty Unchained, bound to be free Lifelong destiny Reside forever more Divine forever more Rejoice in the majesty Unchained, bound to be free Lifelong destiny 07. Never Give In Music by Brian Koenig Lyrics by Mary Zimmer
In the darkness for so long
Moving backwards from the truth All we want is to move on Far away from their mistakes And this time I don't know why There are not more on our side With the never-ending lies They're pretending not to see Hiding from the truth It leads to their demise All of the damage is done Will we ever recover? If we do not succeed Will there ever be others? This is the final stand When we reclaim our rights We will never give in To the darkness of the night How can they just stand and watch As their future fades away? The facts exist, but it's too much For the weak and the guilty Denial spreads like disease Logic fails to show them the way And this time I don't know why There are not more on our side With the never-ending lies They're pretending not to see This is the final stand When we reclaim our rights We will never give in To the darkness of the night All of the damage is done Will we ever recover? If we do not succeed Will there ever be others? This is the final stand When we reclaim our rights We will never give in To the darkness of the night And if we make it out together This won't last forever and if we make it out This won't last forever 08. Phantoms Music & lyrics by Brian Koenig
This is not for real
Illusion is the gateway to power Lies will be revealed Deception at the top of the tower Accept, believe Suspect, deceive You cannot claim to know my rage Under dead skies, waiting to betray Down the pathway of lies Phantoms leading the way Under dead skies, intentions gone astray Phantoms leading the way The way of lies Look me in the eyes Tell me you deserve to take this place Evil in disguise Wires stretched across without a trace Accept, believe Suspect, deceive You cannot claim to know my rage Under dead skies, waiting to betray Down the pathway of lies Phantoms leading the way Under dead skies, intentions gone astray Phantoms leading the way The way of lies 09. Last Defiance Music & lyrics by Brian Koenig
Behold the state of carnage
Mislead with false direction Sacrifice made to stay the course The despot tightens his grasp Retaining mass corruption The faceless legions have no voice Shades of indifference To the struggle of the doomed No one knows who is to blame Chaos fueling terror's flame One state under the law Remains all controlling No one escapes, challenge this position Face the wrath and heed the call Divided we stand, united we fall Abolish privacy Someone is listening Whether the need is there or not The media delusion Report in death and fear It always seems so far away Crashing toward oblivion No end to suffering No one knows who is to blame Chaos fueling terror's flame One state under the law Remains all controlling No one escapes, challenge this position Face the wrath and heed the call Divided we stand, united we fall Gone down in History Age of misery No one knows who is to blame Chaos fueling terror's flame One state under the law Remains all controlling No one escapes, challenge this position Face the wrath and heed the call Divided we stand, united we fall 10. Embrace The End Music by Brian Koenig Lyrics by Mary Zimmer
This feeling is so familiar
I feel myself sink Breathless and timeless I fall away from the shore Leaving the light behind I won't fight anymore Through I know that I've been here before This time I will not be returning I used to panic in the cold Fighting my way back To the surface Each time as though It's the reason to survive You reach out your hand to me Though I've gone far beyond Your grasp The burning inside your chest As though it's the reason to survive Through I know that I've been here before This time I will not be returning Saved, you say, by your burning for the life Torn from the only peace that I've ever known I only want to embrace the end The time that passed before, It has no meaning now What you have done and what you will do Never remain, it's part of a long illusion I try to move on, but you tighten your hold You don't see what I know to be true I only want to embrace the end The time that passed before, It has no meaning now What you have done and what you will do Never remain, it's part of a long illusion Am I worth saving? Does our time have meaning? Only if there is nothing in the end... |
