"In the beginning there was nothing to give humanity hope, and then she was born...
As she ascended into power, her words, her messages became legend... as did her visions of the death of our sun..." We are unchanged, we are forgotten Born of the blessed and the sick, we are the rotten ones Trust in me and all your sorrows Count your blessings, die tomorrow Arise and purify Subjugate and justify Erase and adjudicate Leader of the masses Free the storm They are the strange within the fallen Born of the lecherous and sick, the plague is calling Mind the rules that can't be broken Through hollow days and words unspoken Arise and purify Subjugate and justify Erase and adjudicate Leader of the masses Free the proles Arise and purify Subjugate and justify Erase and adjudicate Leader of the masses Free the storm Arise and purify Subjugate and justify Erase and adjudicate Leader of the masses Free the Proles Arise, purify Arise, purify Arise, purify 02. Let The Serpent Follow Me Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"As she stood atop the mountain the serpents began their agenda... as they surround her, treasuring her embrace"
So the word came from above, all of us shall burn Sewn of ash and circumstance, victims never learn Judgment comes and judgment swift purifies the herd Thinning out the weak and vain, hypocrites and bastards Revelation is so surreal, let the serpent follow me In the end no flesh remains, only bitter words Glorify the ignorant, the murderous detractors Revelation is so surreal, let the serpent follow me Realization is what you need, let the serpent follow me Edging closer, closer to the end of time Blindly follow the leader shall provide for all mankind Revelation is so surreal, let the serpent follow me Realization is what you need, let the serpent follow me This is the final suture, this is the curtain call No want for happy endings, our backs against the wall Make me whole again, glorify original sin 03. Exitium (Anthem Of The Living) Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"The ruin and decay had begun.
The children, the soldiers made of clay gathered at her knees" Exitium bring us peace within the ruin Grant us this release Our tongues are falling away We are the chosen children Soldiers turn to clay Gone are the golden wings of gossamer And the circumstance of decay We cry for sweet Lenore Gone away Shall I slam the door Or is this the beginning? Bold are the brazen drones that mold and violate Change is the unattained The goal we seek has withered alone and afraid We cry and plead for war Gone astray Man's greed has damned us all The anthem of the living Lenore has been chosen She is the leader We shall follow her blindly But beware the rabbit hole is deep We cry for sweet Lenore Gone away Shall I slam the door? Withered alone and afraid We cry and plead for war Gone astray Man's greed has damned us all The anthem of the living This is the ending of all time This is our exitium These are our last words, our last songs This is our swansong I am the last revolution Turn me backward and bastardize me 04. Question Existence Fading Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"As the sun began its slow beautiful fade, the false prophets questioned her visions and the code within her blood"
Plague decimation of the day, this world slides into decay No voice in silence, walk in streaks unknown Evidence is clear, revolution of the meek is near Blood code and god are gone, this is the last song Burn out the days, burn out the sun Question the only reason Black are the dregs humanity slays Question existence fading Alone we walk the hollow hills Contempt has breached our sense of will Take blood but not my soul, some ground is hallowed Dominate the weak among the damned Bring truth to the sons of man Count to ten and see your fate and fall into disgrace Burn out the days, burn out the sun Question the only reason Black are the dregs humanity slays Question existence fading The reprehension of cold redemption is gone This alienation song brings us further To the truth and the games We fall into the blame and we fail once again Burn out the days, burn out the sun Question the only reason Black are the dregs humanity slays Question existence fading Can you solve the blood code? Can you solve the code? Can you solve the blood code? 05. I Am Low Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"Depression set in among the proles.
They began to sing in quiet tones building into a maelstrom" I am low tonight and the truth is the same Out in grey tomorrow within this brief space of elegance I am low The creator seems bitter and strange If we pray through these hopeless and endless days Will Morpheus take us far away? When nothing is clear, there is nothing to fear There is nothing left to follow When contradiction has killed all our hope There is nothing between me and the end of a rope I am high today, but I still feel the shame If I fly tomorrow, will anyone remember my worthless name? If we conquer the years and fight through the tears There is nothing that can stand in our way Nothing can stand in our way And nothing can make the world go away Nothing can stand in our way, in our way Nothing can stand in our way And nothing can make the world go away Nothing can stand in our way, in our way Make the time to feel alone again The river flows and the world is so low 06. Frozen Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"It was told that conviction never dies, yet there was a sense of numbness and loss of emotion"
Look at my face and fall away bleeding black decision I am the one unfortunate son knee deep in division Look at my face, stare in my eyes, witness what never dies Crave indifference my own System enslaved and stoned Fractured and burned the world is turned The arrogant feed the fascists Hate is front page stacked in their graves Disposable lives have vanished I've made indifference my own System enslaved and stoned If everything is frozen, nothing feels the same If the martyr is the chosen, welcome to the hollow game Look at my faith and count the days The opulent train, the tragic Torture reborn through hate and scorn In arrogant ways impassive Look at my face, stare in my eyes, witness what never dies Crave indifference my own System enslaved and stoned If everything is frozen, nothing feels the same If the martyr is the chosen, welcome to the hollow game If everything is frozen, nothing feels the same If the martyr is the chosen, welcome to the hollow game If everything is frozen, only gods can feel the shame If the circle is unbroken, welcome to the hollow game 07. One Final Day (Sworn To Believe) Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"The message of doom had come to fruition, and she commanded the soldiers to preach her words"
Don't fear the right from wrong, don't fear the final song Only the distant echoes, our past mistakes Lenore bleeds for our sins Time ticks, the world spins Only to see the answers slipping through our hands and trickle down Sworn to believe To feast on purity Sworn to believe Sworn to believe To feast on purity Sworn to believe The prophet said unto her sheep "A lesson learned is a lesson deep" If only all earth's creatures could understand this game Forget your troubles and follow me Take time to forgive with sympathy Only then will you see the end is nothing more than fate and troubling pain Sworn to believe, deny and deceive And pray to your god, the sun 08. The World is Wired Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"The rise of technology was blamed for many things.
The seers had been blinded by something unknown. The power had become uncontrollable." What am I supposed to be? Is this the trial? Self-deprecation leads to denial Can you hear the message overplayed As they hide behind the sun? Can you feel the future preordained For time waits for no man What are we supposed to think when the world is wired? How are we supposed to feel when we fall in the fire? Can you hear the message overplayed As they hide behind the sun? Can you feel the future preordained For time waits for no man Here we are again within this conundrum Bathed in a blanket of light Some say there is truth here And the only chosen seers are blind Bathed in a blanket of light What am I supposed to be? Is this the trial? Self-deprecation leads to denial Can you hear the message overplayed As they hide behind the sun? Can you feel the future preordained For time waits for no man Here we are again within this conundrum Bathed in a blanket of light Some say there is truth here And the only chosen seers are blind Bathed in a blanket of light 09. The Dying Age Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"When the kings of foreign lands begin the rise of fear they went into hiding. In the shadows they did conspire."
This is the dying age, This is controlled restraint This is the future shock as we become hollow This is the dying wave that brings a new tomorrow This is the falling rain, These are the broken days I spend my life of confusion in pain As if to make the lunatic look sane Kings afraid of guillotines, Cower in the shadows As they bring the faithful from theirs knees To exterminate their power This is the frozen phase, This is a chosen rage Hoping that the wounds will fester and drain Hoping in our present state of pure disdain Kings afraid of guillotines, Cower in the shadows As they bring the faithful from theirs knees To exterminate their power 10. Ad Vitam Aeternam Music by Rutledge
[Instrumental]
"If life is truly eternal none of us can be forgotten" 11. The Year The Sun Died Music & lyrics by Dane, Rutledge
"Contempt and defiance brought the haze.
Truly the sun was dying. Deliverance came like a stark shadow for some, slowly, twisting." Contemptus saeculi Contemptus saeculi We've reached the final days We tread the light of nothingness In fractured existence, we praise the light that still remains We have reached the final war Beaten heads broken against the wall forevermore Was it worth the violence? Was it worth the cause? Was it worth the inevitable changing of the guard? What if there is nothing more? What if there is only emptiness? What if there is nothing more Beyond the code of deliverance? What if everything decays? What if we've all just been betrayed? The code of deliverance leads us closer We are closer to the end Defiant ones defend their sins While the sun is collapsing The world is on a diving spin to this infernal holocaust Was it worth the consequence? For we have angered the gods Our broken dreams and silent screams Shall never be felt, shall never be heard What if there was nothing more? What if there is only emptiness? What if there is nothing more Beyond the code of deliverance? What if everything decays? What if we've all just been betrayed? The code of deliverance leads us closer 12. Waiting For The Sun Music by Jim Morrison, Manzarek, Densmore, Krieger
[The Doors Cover]
At first flash of Eden We race down to the sea Standing there on freedom's shore Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun Can you feel it Now that Spring has come That it's time to live in the scattered sun Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting for you to come along Waiting for you to hear my song Waiting for you to come along Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong This is the strangest life I've ever known [scream] Can you feel it Now that Spring has come That it's time to live in the scattered sun. Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun |
