02. Frak The Gods Music & lyrics by Periphery
Lives erased
Their memories will never surface again Now our plan for domination is at hand Harvest the flesh, enslave the planet they call home For one thousand years This is the age of new direction No one stands in the way of our reign over this sector That has been newly claimed I'll evade the sun if life is given to those in the shadows Now I must erase the sight of the living and seperate from the eyes Swallow the ink down, might as well We're all destined to fall off the pages we've written Call it fate or whatever the brain will label it as While we return to the planet Reason with the body The death isn't what it seems We are now the ones to be extinct Only forgiveness can end this "Death, it seems" so imminent There is nothing that can be done here "Suppressing" the impending destruction of our race as we know Eyes from around, they gather in disbelief Of the air we breathe and the little we know of it This is a time for evaluation Collecting the mind of a conscious infinity Accepting the consequence of the ignorance changes how you perceive Within this a truth and a reason met with distaste Falling from the heavens above we've been dethroned Our lives must replay in hope of ascending peacefully Let the violence bring us home and take us away from what we know 03. Jetpacks Was Yes! Music by Periphery Lyrics by Periphery, Matt Murphy
These walls of time release my eyes
Move like the drift The cries, they resonate within The fabric tears before me break ties between the kin Reaching for a way out of this dream I waste my breath ascending Fears lead me astray The past brings them to be What's left to carry me But a memory The dream endures these lies Forever at the edge left surviving alone What's left as I wander? I've found a world where I am free Inside that which is truth What of this illusion I've come to know? It's not the same Holding back the distant memories Presently I've found I am not alone In a world of infinity sewn I reach for a way out of this I waste life like it's nothing but a fantasy Fears lead me astray The past brings them to be What's left to carry me Perceive beyond the seam A soul evolves as well 04. Icarus Lives! Music by Periphery Lyrics by Periphery, Casey Sabol
Besieged by falling dreams
Hold them tightly Adorn my wings to thee, and use them nightly I'm neither angel nor a demon spawn Though some will call me God, gravity is just a law I've wrought Hear temptation take the sky for all to see Sheer elation to write in history I'm neither angel nor a demon spawn Though some will call me God, gravity is just a feeble plot When I said I'd never kneel again, what I really meant Was pull the pin because time is spent Unite with ravens on their shadow flights As my nocturnal right Gravity is just a mortal's vice When I said I'd never feel or see Love and sight are last resorts for me 05.

Captain On Music & lyrics by Periphery
Somewhere beyond this sight
Nothing so clear Reaching in endless night Colors disappear Separate the air we breathe Sell the lies we all will speak Don't ever ask the questions challenging the prophecies Silent storm Following the stars Shifting form Dwell in reverie Resurrecton in time We suppress every reason Through these eyes perception bleeds mortality from my soul Nothing can change The reality of it all will never be left for us to find Somewhere within the glow, enter We fall Holding the shadow close Heeding the call Solace finding even flow in life Don't ever ask the questions challenging the prophecies Pleasant this solitude in violent forms and waves The final blow is struck Moving forward on the path Deliver us from the daggers in our hearts Come back to the human calling Pleasant this solitude in violent forms and waves The final blow is struck 09. Eureka Music & lyrics by Periphery
With or without a choice
To confront every vice without a voice Don't deny your will to live is shattered and your hope is a jaded lie The quality within will shape the path we choose All this time to call the things they did a lie Keep it to yourself so I can shove the dark aside And I won't have to tear the honesty from everything we used to be again The quality within will shape the path we choose The quality we lose will form the grave we use Legions are sent from the negative elite Sucking life from the world we live Shading the knowledge of oneness And feeding the shadow within the abyss Found internally, strength to change our misery Shining light carves the way for their demise Dissecting the patterns in our own lives To shift love from experience Remember why we have come Silently ascending Heeding the universal call as we grow The shadow cast is nearing its retreat We are now in the time of the downfall |
