We embraced the cold
Shrouded by dawn
The morning frost
Wind on our faces
Through time we traveled
We embraced the cold
Towards the light
We struggled
And from despair we ran
We ran

We embraced the cold
And opened our eyes
It only held death for us, we'd been deceived
From despair we ran
Towards the light we struggled
Sinking slowly into a cold white sea

From despair we ran
Towards the light we struggled
Sinking slowly
Into a cold white sea

We embraced the cold
Shrouded by dawn
The morning frost
Wind on our faces
Through time we traveled
We embraced the cold
Towards the light
We struggled
And from despair we ran
We ran

Dust is crushed
Mountains and the ashes of everything
That ever existed
Specs of life dissolving
Into a void which we cannot know

Dust has covered the planets
And the moons' gleam is reflected upon it
For we all are dust of the Earth

Time is fleeting
Awaiting a dreaming state and promise of after life
Time is fleeting
Awaiting a dreaming state and promise of after life

Dust is crushed
Mountains and the ashes of everything
That ever existed
Specs of life dissolving
Into a void which we cannot know

Time is fleeting
Awaiting a dreaming state and promise of after life
Time is fleeting
Awaiting a dreaming state and promise of after life

Burned and consumed
Like ashen memories
Pale and undone
Distant seems the world
Like freezing arctic wind
The blade of loss cuts through
To find myself again
I cannot comprehend

To walk this road
The path of desolation
Far from the sun
Cold isolation
Abandoned here
In silent apathy
By all those
Once so endeared

To understand, I must become the fear
To prevail, I must become the enemy
To reclaim dominion, surrender to defeat
To rise to elation, I must fall into despair

Crushed by the weight of an impending failure
I endeavor in vain toward the fading sun
Paralyzed in this aphotic void
My strength it is lost, in the absence of light
Before my eyes, as if frozen in time
The rise and fall of everything once defined
To acquiesce to the arms of negation
Denial at once my comfort and my shame

The dark that once seemed so false
So distant Now engulfs
Every aspect of my sight
The understanding lies
Entwined with all I fear
I am the enemy, I am the light

Accept that forever, is a mere perception
Relative to our own minds
Every moment elapsed is an eternity
In the shadow of our fleeting time
Those once beloved, will fade to dust
Nothing sacred, cannot be undone
To overcome is to embrace our fear
To forge ahead, and walk alone

Reclaim desire, to see the unknown
Abandon time, erase eternity
Strength is attained by the fire of yearning
The path to acceptance is a journey without end

Bring forth the time that remains
To those who seek the meaning (of the Word)

The will to break a system
A need for those who can create

Words are what make us
Are what we create, language is dimensional

In the midst of chaos showing
This love is ever flowing
Monuments can be turned to ruins
But words cannot decay
Cannot decay
The universe is an extortionist
Forever slowly bleeding us dry
And the will to thrive is denied
By contextual divides
Separation of word and void

A structured cluster of pre-conceived ideas
Schemas

The will to break a system
A need for those who can create
Can create

Words may transform into cosmic entities
Structured by the will of man to design infinity
Separate, word and void, become one with the aethyr
Bring together dark and light and incarnate all that we fear

I am the glacier's crest above the forests
Freezing you mid-thought and the ancient voices
From the greying fog, I am the thought
That overtakes your mind and fills you with a singular happiness

I am the glistening of the leaves
Who cannot forget you
I am the leaves the you burn in the fall
The swift cleansing of your conscious
I am the glistening of the leaves
And I am
I am the leaves the you burn in the fall
The swift cleansing of your conscious

I am your third hand and your second
I am the shadow, the grey one
Who cannot ever forget you

I am the glistening of the leaves
Who cannot forget you
I am the leaves the you burn in the fall
The swift cleansing of your conscious
I am the glistening of the leaves
And I am
I am the leaves the you burn in the fall
The swift cleansing of your conscious

I am the glacier's crest above the forests
Freezing you mid-thought and the ancient voices
From the greying fog, I am the thought
That overtakes your mind and fills you with a singular happiness
With a singular happiness

Further from sane, in time I'll break
Mechanical processes leading my way
Reality ceases to be
Divulging from actuality

Alien phenomenon, wiping our dreams
Harvesting our thoughts and beliefs
What is to be, or the non-being
A warped vision and safety

Theories of absurdity
Washing our faces
Corrupted societies

Plot to end the nations
Diverging resources to fatten
The people, the starving revolt and empty the steeple
Rotting and porous the end of our world

Alien phenomenon, wiping our dreams
Harvesting our thoughts and beliefs
What is to be, or the non-being
A warped vision and safety

The character of mankind becomes unfurled
A king on his throne
Sovereign rules while citizens burn
Despairing and doomed, no stone left unturned, no soul left alive

Fiery landscapes brighten the skies
Bereft of the living, a land of the dead

Defeated and giving, the world has bled

And I see the light, surrounding you
From a blinded hollow, I gaze, I stare
Fallen, not unveiling, fallen, not waning
From hollowed ground, fallen, I stare

For life was not meant to despair

I pry through the crowd to catch a glimpse
The power leaves me weak at my knees
Fallen, not waning, fallen, unveiling
Restoring, like air to drowning lungs

Like fire to burning wood, inside a lifeless tomb
The after, the mending, the air
Resurrecting, so breath in again
Breath in again and restore

There's a sense of satisfaction
In knowing that you're gone
A sickening feeling of emptiness
No longer prolongs

Residing within me, the place you shall be
A deepening rift that slowly impedes

The ability to know you after death
Humanity deciphers your holy texts
Withering the body to the illiterate
Falsely identifying with ignorance

The word corrupted to bend
To the will of Man

Residing within me, the place you shall be
A deepening rift that slowly impedes

The power to know you after death
Humanity deciphers your holy texts
Withering the body to the illiterate
Falsely identifying with ignorance

From the Dawn of Mankind, in the bleakness of night
From the formless and void of his birth
A journey, a struggle, endless in time
To attain understanding and strength

The fire of will, Prometheus gave
So they, as Gods, could create and destroy
A light on the path of prosperity
From archaic void to an ending unknown

Within mankind's hand, the greatest of power
To consume and to reign upon earth
But restraint he disdained, consequence ignored
In blind search of truth, wisdom was lost

Formed from the earth, from whence given life
Bestowed with the fire of gods
Heedless of presage, resolved to defy
The cause of this mortal design

Formed from the earth, from whence given life
Bestowed with the fire of gods
Heedless of presage, resolved to defy
The cause of this mortal design
Formed from the earth, from whence given life
Bestowed with the fire of gods
Heedless of presage, resolved to defy
The cause of this mortal design

As civilization reaches its end
From origin, primordial, to the status of Gods
The fire of power burns in their minds
For their creation, an agony of suicide

For the gift of fire, a consequence of torment
Bound to knowledge, to suffer its wrath
For the knowing negates, the innocent mind
As clear sight is gained, darkness consumes
