Our voices echo on a quiet night
Silver faces, an unholy cathedral Moon and sun A birthing rite in this duality Embrace the feeling of our human skin intertwining now in ecstasy Lie in the circle of a few who stain our bodies with their own blood The blessing is given as the child grows A family burdened with a line full of evil Sacrifice Now you can live to see another day Embrace the feeling of our human skin intertwining now in ecstasy Lie in the circle of a few who stain our bodies with their own blood Our voices echo on a quiet night Silver faces, an unholy cathedral Moon and sun A birthing rite in this duality These voices echo so violently A congregation with a line full of evil Sacrifice Now you can live to see another day 02. MK Ultra Music & lyrics by Periphery
Innocent babe, shall we corrupt at such a young age
Conjure a laugh, conjure the tears amongst love Glass brain, it will project all of the spectrum Heart still, but his infant hands are shaking now Start leaking all the thoughts on your mind What's yours, is ours for the taking Take this bruise as a sign that we own you now and forevermore Spiral down Disconnecting sight from sound Control one Innocent babe, shall we corrupt at such a young age Conjure a laugh Conjure the tears amongst love Take this bruise as a sign that we own you now and forever The poison now is your responsibility You can finger-paint with blood on your hands Take this bruise as a sign that we own you now and forevermore 03. Heavy Heart Music & lyrics by Periphery
Experience these things
My chest sinks further in and it gets hard to breathe Don't fight it, make this easy Sometimes I wish I had wings Fly far away from this life It's a long road As the water beads up on the window, turn the sad song up on the radio Such curiosity These thoughts go on all day It takes hold on me, but fighting isn't easy Sometimes I wish I had wings Fly far away from this life It's a long road As the water beads upon the window, turn the sad song up on the radio Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on and the clouds block out the rays? When the feeling hangs upon a halo, I can only try my best just to let it go What's left with me is a memory and the things I have to say Resting now, their bodies hit the ground Nightmares creep over me I hear the sounds Children scream, their mothers bleed hung upside down Scarlet robes and sadistic minds surround me I've spent all of my life confined in secrecy What you see is but a shell of what I am on the inside Clouds of blackness strike lightning There's nothing above I'm falling below As the water beads upon the window, turn the sad song up on the radio Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on and the clouds block out the rays? When the feeling hangs upon a halo, I can only try my best just to let it go What's left with me is a memory and the things I have to say 04. The Event Music by Periphery

05. The Scourge Music & lyrics by Periphery
As I sit with eyes heavy, omens clear
Face down in seclusion The evils steer what drives the stake within my heart This man, he fell apart Now that the entrance is open wide, this black all around makes its way inside What have you done? Will hate abide? Where is my death invitation? Elation? Dead wind swirling beneath these prayers I hide I'd give my life for a taste of what lies beyond in that place now Live Earth rising beneath these hands untied I'd leave my life on the line Never one of them I am not free Survive I will survive Glass ceilings above drop rage upon them Stone cold fist and a memory Running on the blunt end of a blade The blood that it spills shall start my serenade to you I will survive Survive 06. Alpha Music & lyrics by Periphery
It's always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you never have It's a goddamn, broken state of mind that we've been living in It's never greener inside the mess we're in Wanting what you never have The less we are content the more we throw away what little time we have left to grow Separate mind from me, but still I have no adamant will to leave What little time we have Stop bleeding on the inside We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white Can we show the ones who are blind? It's envy eating away at the core of us Wanting what you never have Isn't it the point of living to breathe Knowing this is all we need It's never greener inside the mess we're in Wanting what you never have The less we are content the more we throw away what little time we have left to grow Separate mind from me, but still I have no adamant will to leave What little time we have Stop bleeding on the inside We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white Can we show the ones who are blind? Show them that we're not blind! We're not blind! Stop bleeding on the inside We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white Can we show the ones who are blind? Fly passed the withered trees Ascend to holy air and breathe (Separating) (drive me crazy) (Separating mind) This want is menacing and will not leave us be Can we purge this? The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds How did we get like this? Step out in the rain Feel life in our veins 07. 22 Faces Music & lyrics by Periphery
Staring at the hourglass
My life it feels like a machine running with no direction Watching time as it draws a perception obscene from a resurrection Choking on reality The walls of my insides they bleed from the excess incisions Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings from the core of me I'm dying to see what it is that is eating away at me Now the stars are the sun in my world They burn from the inside out Ice cold in the flames burning all around So blind to the beauty of sleep It feels like the walls are melting, freezing into me Have I lost track of time? Why can't I feel the burn? Staring at the hourglass My life it feels like a machine running with no direction Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings in my resurrection I'm dying to see what it is that is eating away at me Now the stars are the sun in my world They burn from the inside out When the frustration makes a move, the second hand will swallow you It's tearing a hole inside I'm buried alive The smell of flesh is seeping into my range Thrashing, hoping for a better way The push, the pull, it's tearing apart my will to thrive in the day Pins and needles jabbing into my veins On the verge of losing sanity The beast tears and I can't do a thing about it I'm dying to see what it is that is eating away at me Now the stars are the sun in my world They burn from the inside out Fuck me, I am dying for sleep What exactly is eating away at me Now the stars are the sun in my world They burn from the inside out 08. Rainbow Gravity Music & lyrics by Periphery
Further down this road
Where is it that we are leading the generation we know? The answers lie down inside the mind of humanity It's a vast, dark sea Will we fall forever alone, down in this unknown abyss? Where we fail is thinking our worth is something much more than this Hold your breath We're sinking down for miles in an ocean full of mortal mistake, where the light is much clearer Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck? Further we lower us down The walls are closing in We're cluttering All that is meant for us is lost Bite your tongue Can we search a little deeper for what our actions will cost? Will we fall forever alone, down in this unknown abyss? Where we fail is thinking our worth is something much more than this Hold your breath We're sinking down for miles in an ocean full of mortal mistake, where the light is much clearer Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck? Further we lower us down We set our feeble minds on the bullshit Will we ever escape from where the light is much clearer? Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck? Further we lower us down Can't we find a place where we finally can think for ourselves? Our thoughts are unspoken We can fly, yes, we can soar Staring in the face what we choose to accept, but can't ignore Our thoughts are unspoken Life is knocking at your door This is a calling to the human race We are alone the more we segregate And I won't be part of this in the end Hold your breath We're sinking down for miles in an ocean full of mortal mistake, where the light is much clearer Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck? Further we lower us down We set our feeble minds on the bullshit Will we ever escape from where the light is much clearer? Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck? Further we lower us down 09. Four Lights Music by Periphery

10. Psychosphere Music & lyrics by Periphery
Silence is bringing on the heart-attack
Pushing and pulling going on within my brain It says to lay low Dead end The darkness latches on Now I am a product of a mind that wasn't ever mine and now it says "Kill them slow" Weighed down I'm drowning in this stale moment Renown is yelling at me from above This is a one way road Kill them slow Long ago I was forced to drink Now I long for a taste of what stains the murder in red Straight back to the moment of a distant memory Strip away all the empathetic feeling towards a world that has grown absent of all my love Sadistic aura Dead end The darkness latches on Now I am a product of a mind that wasn't ever mine and now it says "Kill them slow" Weighed down I'm drowning in this stale moment Renown is yelling at me from above This is a one way road Kill them slow Stop fucking pulling Will you release the grip and let go? I've got a life to live and a lot to end I'll hang 'em up Leave the bloody mess all around Bow my head then calmly walk away Kill them slow! 11. Reprise Music & lyrics by Periphery
Their screams will echo on a quiet night
Silver faces an unholy cathedral Death has come A sacrifice in this duality The blessing is given as the children moan A man is burdened with a life full of evil Hungry eyes They will not live to see another day I'll end the feeling of a soul within, set it free in bloody ecstasy Lie in the circle of a few who stain their bodies with their own blood 12. The Bad Thing Music & lyrics by Periphery
Sometimes there's a crack in the world that I can peer through to see it for what it really is
There's an ugly face staring back Demons are everywhere They draw the hatred from inside of me There were times at the top of the earth that I wish I could throw everyone and everything Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites I'm bathing in the thought of it The severed dreams of all the weak, quenching thirst inside of me And the scream it holds the key, unlocking this for all to see Fly past the trees Ascend to holy air and breathe Far from the leaves Transcend these earthly boundaries Fly past the trees Ascend to holy air and breathe Far from the leaves Transcend their fucking boundaries Isn't this desire that you're looking for? Or is insanity just knocking on your door? Give me just a piece and surely you will find, everything is better on the other side Can you look within to find what is in store? This life is but a scream that has become your whore It's tearing a hole inside You're buried alive Sometimes there's a hole in the earth that I can step through to get away from the twisting of tongues It looks a lot like a grave when I'm staring up Feeling the soil creeping over me There were times at the top of the earth that I wish I could throw everyone and everything Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites I'm bathing in the thought of it I'd like a reason just to help them bleed Give me a reason Fly past the trees Ascend to holy air and breathe Far from the leaves Transcend these earthly boundaries Isn't this desire that you're looking for? Or is insanity just knocking on your door? Give me just a piece and surely you will find, everything is better on the other side Can you look within to find what is in store? This life is but a scream that has become your whore It's tearing a hole inside You're buried alive I'd like a reason just to help them bleed Give me a reason 13. Priestess Music & lyrics by Periphery
A shadow in these walls... Yes that is all I am
A prison deep under fortress grounds where they spill the blood of man A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of For now inside these walls I stay Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow Never mind what is underneath the stone It's a life that we're living all alone Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow Light is calling from the narrow road Sometimes kindness speaks in tongues with one of them I can see love in her eyes If I fall, death will never stain one of his hands I find safety in these lies A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of For now inside these walls I stay Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow Never mind what is underneath the stone This life we live alone Step out in the rain and feel a deep sorrow Light is calling from the narrow road The chains are part of me Stale air is all I breathe down here I need to find a way I'm gonna find my way far from here... Another chance at life is fading slowly Upon the cross I burn Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow Never mind what is underneath the stone This life we live alone Step out in the rain to feel a deep sorrow Light is calling from the narrow road 14. Graveless Music & lyrics by Periphery
I've held the knife to my throat for so long
Is it everything I want? This life feels far away Is this the time to let go and settle a life below? Or live another fucking day? Suffocating in a world of human filth Yes pull me under Stop treading in a pool of your own blood Accept demise Let it pour Bleed it out Feels as the life drains from within A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin I feel Beelzebub inside me He's been here all along Clutching every last ounce of sin from these dried up bones Please strike me down Fuck me... I can't repent By my own hands, I shall bury my own life Let it pour Bleed it out Feel as the life drains from within A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin My only love is worlds away Thy father bless her and repay the breath they stole with all my hate I drift away now in my sin Let it pour Bleed it out Feels as the life drains from within A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin 15. Hell Below Music & lyrics by Periphery
Further I'm hurled down
The colors shift from red to gray This is a realm of damaged spirits and I can't see the light... Only the gaze of his eyes The demons drag me down Clawing for the heavens, they pull I can feel them violently consuming me No body, no mind, a spirit left to die Finally they've collected me The sound of misery in death has now begun This is over My death has now begun Live, die, burn Fucking live, die, burn Further I'm hurled down The colors shift from red to gray This is a realm of damaged spirits and I can't see the light Only the gaze of his eyes 16. Omega Music & lyrics by Periphery
I see a flash
Is this sleep? Am I in a dream? The past sees me and it won't let go Greeted by those I've killed along the way, because I am the destruction The past sees me and it won't let go A demon born out of their rite in throes This is the truth I am a demon born out of their rite in throes Soiled by the world of man I am the destruction I am fear I am sin I am the destruction This memory ignites The past sees me Visions of me grow Greeted by family Painting dissolution and a life of an insect The past it will not let me go I'm lost within my own soul A ghost within times of old The clock turns back, but is this real? Tell me, is this real? A demon born out of their rite in throes This is the truth I am a demon born out of their rite in throes Soiled by the world of man I am destruction I am fear Born to destroy Transcending boundaries of affliction I've learned from past experience I am a monster Disgust and horror flash before me in fire burning down below Holy desire This stain will never wash off of my grave Physical life has wandered Here I stay, in death Take pity on a soul and grant me resurrection Grant forgiveness This is only but a dark reflection Regret is ripping the throat from my neck Now I can't speak I wander Here in death, I weep Take pity on a soul and grant me resurrection Grant forgiveness This is only but a dark reflection Hell bound Past death Nothing can save me Longing for something beyond Embrace the feeling of a soul within Realizing this is what we need Inside the circle that's a mystery to our eyes and what we shall perceive Stop bleeding on the inside We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white Can we show the ones who are blind? Show them that we're not blind 17. Stranger Things Music & lyrics by Periphery
Wandering below the hadean seal
Shaking, mortified, making my way back to nowhere This skeletal mask brings a demon of the day There never would have been a light if the messenger in still life had regard for the son of the damaged soul Send the mirror falling Heavens see that this man once had value among all the golden But eccentric revisions in life brought on decay Take submission from a man in control Set the sail blowing, search for peace A loose feeling consuming me Blood is spent A token for my sacrifice Fallen angel, you speak my name The needle turns, the hourglass is spinning around Give it, I want it... a sense of a fucking life I can almost feel mine at home Selfish cries I am diseased Let it pour out and show what has healed One can finally find what's left in this masochistic personality In a holy bond we live Take a breath for seconds in this moment Sail upon the open skies Exhale your death and feel life, like water raining from above Majestic aura Take in my breath and lock eyes with a world once absent of your love Majestic aura Blood is spent A token for my sacrifice The tortured realm has released my name I can feel my body parting with this world Rebirth is starting from within I'm born some place beyond your time Selfish cries Flaunt disease Own what's mine Death upon my knees Let it pour out and show what has healed One can finally find what's left inside this masochistic personality In a holy bond we live Take a breath for seconds in this moment Sail upon the open skies Floating up above the hadean seal Sounds of ambient voices will lead me from nowhere This skeletal mask brings a demon of the day |
