Visitation 07:03
"We continue down the path of solemn resolve Determined to prove our own insanity Instead of facing reality An ominous fog descended And our way was lost to the haze of nightmares Fictitious and natural Dancing like tribal madmen Through the undergrowth of my mind Ethereal drums speak transient rhythms The end is near The end is near" Out of a flash I saw you beckon me in A window into your plight The greatest sorrow There's no help to offer These symbols transcend Comprehension This ghostly friendship A recurring memory I've misunderstood you Completely The greatest sorrow There's no help to offer These symbols transcend Comprehension A lonely call leads us down the lane Her figure roaming out of range You draw the lens Take careful aim Pull the shutter A flash of light reveals nothing Eyes open wide All the while we see nothing Change approach A captive entity Truth exposed A negative reality You've seen this before The trees give way to the moor The spirits bound to the land An ancient plan To fuel this evil evermore Oh, you never saw it Blind, they told you nothing but lies Oh, you always felt the pain Now you'll never find solace again Who will take the blame for this ending? Lunar rays light the way These darkened clouds dissipating As the scene fades away Moonlit figures led astray

Premonition 05:09
With bombs and ammunition Silence those with better visions Replace them with our own Under crowns and thrones of declaration Kings and gods destroying our nations Replace them with their own Profit reigns, but our throats run dry We feed the wolves, but ignore the voice inside We hold a gun to our own head, yet we still point the blame Never asking why We march into the darkness of the future With our heads held high Refusing to see these visions in our minds eye Because they say it's alright The country's warfare Is always justified The lying, the sinning Paints another scene The starving, the dying Never get to see the light The greedy, the scheming Will always be alright Profit reigns, but our throats run dry We feed the wolves, but ignore the voice inside We hold a gun to our own head, yet we still point the blame Never asking why Who made you king to rule our lives? Aren't we all free? To live to die To understand our visions And build a better world Or are we blind? We are all blind Profits reigned, but our throats stayed dry We fed the wolves, and we killed the voice inside We held a gun to our own head, always pointing the blame Never asking why Blind with pride, we ignored the signs We cast the stones, but never looked inside And in the end we were consumed by our very own game If only we'd stopped to ask why Lucid visions show the truth

Isolation 04:46
Illusions dance in the fading light Of a listless, winding regression Distractions from their course of action Never changing, never fading Forever demanding compliance Captivated by the daunting gaze Of the static waves It manifests my fears, whispers in my ear Telling me everything is okay A windowless refuge An omniscient light Is the true bane Of this delicate plight Self preservation False condemnation All put to fame By this incandescent light Sleep, sleep Captivated by the daunting gaze Of the static waves It manifests my fears, whispers in my ear Telling me everything is okay Blinded by the veil, this dark shroud of breath It crawls down my neck I'm trying to break away, but I can't escape While I'm fueling my atrophy We are merely receivers Slaves to our perception Bound to those who control Deceptive transmissions Can't look away Entranced by the waves As I'm here fading away Isolation lingers Attempting to conceal me As my sight begins to fade My soul is buried And sanity slowly drifts away Convincing me it's the only way Deprivation aids us In turning empathy to hate

Revelation 04:19
"Neither awake nor dreaming Cognizant nor unwitting Desperately clinging To a world in need of healing Waiting for change Yet initiative is fleeting Running from that Which gives our life meaning" Disconnected Broke and defective Are we too far gone? We're all looking in We care just to fit in Only to turn our cheeks Can you feel the coma taking hold again? Are you tossing, turning Yearning just to break the ties? We walk this road with ourselves in mind But once we reach the end we too will be thrown aside So cast the veil and drink the wine Stray the path less defined Or stay in line You're asleep... Wake up Wake up Can you feel the coma taking hold again? Are you tossing, turning Yearning just to break the ties? Are we so out of touch We've lost sight of the only thing That keeps us whole Now we must find another way to fill the void There's a light at the end of today Pull me out, pull me out Yet it seems so far away Pull me out, pull me out We will wait idly for aid to our plea Pull me out, pull me out While already we hold the key Pull me out, pull me out

Salvation 07:59
We cling to the feather But care not for the bird We find comfort in our ignorance That aids us in our decadence Only because we're afraid We are all searching for a savior But only to console Our fear of the unknown Gripping the throats of our brothers Too set in our ways To see we're all to blame This foreign entity Brings us prosperity And new eyes for us to see A knowledge beyond our reach But all too consumed with greed And worthless commodities We forsake our abilities And voraciously feed until the earth depletes In this frozen empire We cast ourselves into the fire We are fueling a war Over broken translations Repeating the cycle That shadows the truth of creation Taking all that we can gain Claiming the tide for a single grain We seal shut this open door And leave no room for the rest of the shore More, more, more, more... And still we wonder why we are forsaken Left to roam with no direction Oh, show me the way The road to sanctuary Bestow upon me release Oh, show me the way So that we may find peace Salvation comes not from the skies But from the key we all hold inside We must mend the bones Broken by our selfish crimes Redemption lies not in paid tithes But between ourselves and our makers eyes We must cast ourselves aside Cast yourself aside

Ascension 04:36
When all the trees are burnt to ashes And all the seas have turned to acid The universe will keep on turning Our universe will keep on spinning The land burnt red, pollution falling All our oceans evaporating The time in space will keep on turning All of time and space is spinning All that's matter never lasts The form for us is ever changing The time for us is temporary The time for us is temporary
