Become through earned
And granted liberation Rise above the secrecy And silent deception Clarity is determined At the depths of murky waters The potion of black earthed blood Is the sludge draining the conscious Essential learning Corrupted and drifted In this deceiving world The modern savant has ignored the soul Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden In the shadows Our eyes are blind with confusion The curtains hide the present Leaving only rays of disillusion Expose the dreamworld We all believe to be real Forgotten, forbidden All the knowledge that is hidden 02. Interdimensional Summit
Mired in illusion
Lost in the masters game Silenced by the idea of time Nurtured with lies and deceit The silent seeker, the seer Travels beyond the veil The silent seeker, the seer Fleeing the dense womb of ignorance To the trained eye There are no coincidences The more you see The less it makes sense To the trained eye There are no coincidences If you can not see You can not truly know We are the current sum of all the ages Leaving a trail of burnt pages Thrown into darkness as stars We travel alone as one When the dust settles on the tavern Is when we're liberated from illusion Taking our first and final breath Realizing life is always after death 03. Ætheric
The word that has been spoken
Through time and time again Is the light that inhabits our voice The light that keeps us aflame All retrospection is invalid As we've been fed disdain Confined to the fence of knowledge We need to die, die again To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past All rise and fall All is internal All eternal All rise and fall Controlling matter with will We withstand every storm In and out of exile Spirit, matter and form To govern thyself You must know your darkness To govern thyself You must know your past 04. Council Of Wolves And Snakes
Nomads plunging into the vast abyss
Unattached, fleeting through the chasm Naked in pure darkness Embracing the new dawn We are gods here for the taking Yield to the dragon's embrace We are gods Yield to the dragon's embrace As pawns in this secret game No one knows nothing Yet, in the realm of sacred play Everyone knows everything A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee We are gods in the making We are here for the taking Yield to the dragon's embrace We are of transcendence We are wolves and snakes A winged and secret flame Leaving this paradigm A dimension we are set to flee The arrival is in the departure We are sculpted into life By the hands of death 05. The Empyrean Phoenix
Legionnaires of degradation
Ridden with disease Disguised as martyrs Preaching counterfeit peace Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Through the tunnels Darkness dims the vision Yet, the light is kept guarded Secretly Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its final round Risen anew from its humiliation The fire has been awoken The crossroads many The highways few Through desert storms it flew The spirit of the phoenix wins Restored anew Unbound, glory forever untouched Unbound, from its inception To its last final round 06. Lightbringer
Discover with courage
While facing the beyond Uncompromisingly Everything connects As you detach Truth foretold Truth discovered Truth always known All growth comes at a cost Moving forward means sacrifice Enduring all paths crossed Lucifer Lux Lucifer The shadow is your dragon Making the darkness conscious Your wings open wide Old souls becoming of age Prosperity comes with a price All growth comes at a cost Moving forward means sacrifice Enduring all paths crossed Truth foretold Truth discovered Truth always known The secrets of existence Everything's within reach The beginning is near The end never draws fear Lucifer Lux Lucifer 07. I Am Sovereign
Undo me
And feel no restraint Undo me Pain is wanting closure Undo me The mind it needs to rest Undo me I shall be restored Perseverance doesn't mean anything Unless it's for eternity The real powers that will ever be Is freedom and liberty Undo me And feel no restraint Undo me Pain is wanting closure Undo me The mind it needs to rest Undo me I shall be restored A lifetime worthy of awakening Is a life worth transcending We learn as we teach We teach as we speak We speak as we seek We seek what we learn Knowing when to end a journey Is to recognize where it begins What we really seek is not here But on the other side of fear We learn as we teach We teach as we speak We speak as we seek We seek what we learn 08. Archaic Correspondence
Dead at nothing
Alive at everything You travel time And time travels you As within so without As above so below When we set sail Energy is our procession The journey inward repeats The horizon is our destination Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil The transition from internal life Repressed and unseen Forgotten Lurking in the shadow of your mind Losing yourself is the key To leave everything behind Losing yourself is the key The shadows become our past The migration of the soul Picks up where it leaves the flesh And enters the finish line Sustained through another time Life is the trial And the passage is death Storming through oblivion Life is a trial And the passage is death Storming through the veil As within so without As above so below 09. Alpha Aeon Omega
The inevitable exchange
Is when knowledge comes Without judgement The final transition Is when knowledge becomes The internal The facilitators of darkness Are the true providers To the world's light Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality Open are all the doors All will run its course Leaving the former paradigm Escalating, further the climb Ascending the highest mountain Beyond the perception of reality Forever free From illusion of mortality The flow is ever present Upstream and against the current Ascending the highest of mountains Free 10. Rite Of Passage
