Tracks



01. End Of The Line

Parading screams of dismissal, revoked
Filing marching by, executives stand
Too old for labour too young to die
A netherworld in lips that sigh
A netherworld in eyes that cry

They sullied your name
Gave you a crown of pain
They disgraced the scene
All in the name of a higher purpose
Elevate
Terminate
Terrorize

The end of the line is soon upon you
Hold on to the last shreds of dignity
They'll soon be rid of your working corpse
A netherworld in lips that sigh
A netherworld in eyes that cry

Knuckles cracking for the very last time
Shovels abandoned, machinery stopped
Deep lines on your face a testimony
A netherworld in lips that sigh
A netherworld in eyes that cry

02. Horror Show

Burning skies
I see the flames on the town arise
Too late now
The armies converging on
Save your skin
The peasant escapes the sin

And I hear the children crying out
Men are dying, fleeing from the rout
Cast the spell
White hot Hell
To the scourge
To the dark

Lightning bolt
I see the King will put up a fight
Is it Truth
That could throw its might that way
Horror Show
That breath you take might be the last

Final day
The battlefield red with blood
King has won
The castle will rise again
Raindrops fall
Erasing all traces of war

03. Lord Of The Clouds

Deluge ceasing not, controlling hand that rules
His sadness permeating all that lives below
Taking on our misery, taking on our pain
Wretched souls we are to him, can he tell us where to go?

Lord of the Clouds
Consecrated you are
Lord of the Clouds
Isolated, so far!

Lord of the Clouds
Desecrated you are
Lord of the Clouds
Isolated, so far!

Patience is a key, does he have a plan at all?
For the creatures underneath that are you and yours
Season of grey for all that see, and black for those who don't
It will be pouring lead on those who fall

Can we appease this thunder-god we made?
Is he the only one with the answers that we seek?
Why believe in unseen forces in the ignorance of shade?
We are the only ones with the answers that we seek.

04. Crisis

Sounds of distant callers winter
Cold is their soul in the night
Frightful pictures of a conflict
Raw images of flickering light

A broken city
That cried for pity
Dethroned perverted
Crisis is obscurity

Bullet chambered with no destination
In your mind's approximation
Troposphere burning zone wiped out
Finger lottery chance all doubt

Rags blowing spirals on the ground
Wending to and fro without a sound

Richness of folly dead machine
From a souvenir remember a scene
Of long ago it's not quite clear
Timeless events that never fade

05. Unbirth

Raw creation
In the forefront of the fray
Black-eyed illusion
Unfinished piece of clay

Give me birth give me life
Allow me in this world let me be
Give me birth give me life
I seek knowledge and I want it from you

Pushed in a corner,
Your back into the wall
Rejected by our world,
No one heeds your call

Fear much hear not
Stand back don't play
You didn't stand a chance,
Dead before you lived

06. The Affliction

Nothing changes
Every face the same
Deceivers, believers
Whispering my name

You are transparent
Following the blind
You aren't a victim
Just a hollow mind

So give me the "truth"
And I'll show you a lie
Inside your world
Dreams learn to die
So give me the "truth"
And I'll show you a lie
Inside your world
Dreams learn to die

Question my hate
This hell is my proof
All that is fake
Leads back to you

Spit out your pride
Swallow the blame
Open your fucking eyes
And accept your shame

So give me the "truth"
And i'll show you a lie
Inside your world
Dreams learn to die
So give me the "truth"
And i'll show you a lie
Inside your heart
Love learns to die

07. Beautifully Blind

Never saw it coming
It fell right into place
Your heart now mine to hold
Consuming my entire world
I'd never turn away from you
Though promises come and go
They wilt and fade away
But my words you can hold close

I feel you now, in every breath I take
I see you now, in every move I make
The peaceful deliverance, I lose myself
And leave all regret behind
The cure, the solace, the desire
Leaves me beautifully blind

The passion you could drink
It seeps from every kiss
No need to admit defeat
Freedom in these hands held tight
Unbound from an endless reverie
I never thought could exist
But I awake and find you here
Aware that this is it

08. Beneath Me

You're bleeding out
From under my skin
Throwing away remains
You left to rot inside me
Push you to the ground
And you fail to get up
Silence you with my sound
My point of enough

For the times you showed no mercy
For the times you battered my soul
This is me walking all over you
This is you beneath me?

Look in the mirror
Feel the hate and disgust
A god you will never be
With no morals, no trust
Rip yourself wide open
And show the truth
Show how fucking ugly
You have become

A waste of life
A waste of a kill
A waste of flesh
Buried beneath me

09. Dark Days Ahead
