Enslaved in a place that's referred to as home
We are all too afraid to be cast out alone
Our strength is unknown
They claim the end to be imminent
Though we live on
Infinite
We must make amends
There is only one way that this can end
Enslaved in a place
We are too afraid
Enslaved in a place we call home
I'm still fucking numb
We must make amends
There is only one way that this can end
Through all of the change all stays the same
Monotonous patterns create the
waves which take over shore
Leaving you lie in the wake
Through all of the change all stays the same
Your request for higher ground is everlasting
We dwell in the flatlands moving about as nomads
Higher ground is only found within
This arrives to no surprise
Still the night hears the cries
of a man with a wounded passion
If this is what I seek
I shall seek no longer
The truth is wretched
The devil in disguise
Will I watch you die
If this is what I seek
Then I seek no longer
The truth is wretched
A devil in disguise
Will I watch you die
Will I watch you die
A devil in disguise
Still the night hears the cries
of a man with a wounded passion
We dwell in the flatlands moving about as nomads
Higher ground is only found within
This arrives to no surprise
Still the night hears the cries
Failure is a lie
These kind words have adopted us
Accepted without question
We live to love
We love to live
A peaceful gift
We claim to be grateful
Though it isn't certain
Standing in pure darkness praying for the light
Pondering recent frames
Allowing access to mistakes I may have made
Where are they
Where are they now
As I stare into a whole made up of dismay
They now face me
Gazing blankly into my eyes
All at once shattering
Leaving only the shards to be replaced
I am putrid
Lay aside the good that I have done
But I am alive
As I stare into a whole made up of dismay
They now face me
Gazing blankly into my eyes
Only the shards to be replaced with guilt
I am putrid
Leave aside, the good that I've done,
all I'll be in the end is worthless.
All I'll be in the end is worthless
Fallacy is disease
Watched over and guarded
Caught between life and pride
(Carry us)
Rupture the means of those who hold power
Our enforcers have failed
What if failure was always imminent
The future consumes negligence of the past
Our platform bears and bestows intellect
What was once feared is now embraced
This is a time of transcendence
Our ascension, an immaculate rise
Shall reign in the new world
We are forever
We are always
To this, there is no end
Our platform bears and bestows intellect
What was once feared is now embraced
The answers are stitched in the bones of society
Before me there stands an opportunity
There for the taking In this moment - this exact moment
I shall prepare myself
To face a monster of which only I may conquer
Conjure the power bestowed upon our souls
Conjure the power
Align the stones to form a message in the sand
I will never relinquish
It is written in the sand
Which lies below me
Staring back at a helpless man
I've done all I can
It lies in the hands of those who seek a voice soaring above the rest
Built from the ground
Forming scratches upon the surface
We survive in wretched of times
We survive in wretched of times
Conjure the power
We survive in wretched of times
And we thrive in the most wretched of times
Have faith and you won't be left behind
Haunted by the thoughts of a failed life
Self realize
There's a message embedded in my mind
I see it over and over
Every time that I shut my eyes
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
This is the end
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
This is the end
We will live
And forgive the mistakes they've made
Surrounded with trust
We won't make the same
Self realize
I am finally awake
Self realize
I am finally awake
We fill with hope
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
Haunted by the thoughts of a failed life
Leave behind the thoughts of a failed life
This is the end
We will live and forgive the mistakes they've made
Surrounded with trust
We won't make the same
Self realize
I am finally awake
Self realize
I am finally awake
Our lives will fill with hope
I am finally awake
They've only foreshadowed our own
Have faith and you won't be left behind
Until our guidance
Until our guidance is that alone
Until our guidance
Until our guidance is that alone
Until our guidance
Until our guidance is that alone
Until our guidance
Until our guidance is that alone
There are a million roads
Which lead to the same place
The same place
It is the means along the way that awakens us
So wake me up
Perceptions of life
Forgive the foes who have turned away
Through pride grips vitality and must remain
Leave the foundation of which you call home
Only to return or forever alone
Will we be known forever
Forever (Will we be known)
Will we be known forever
Forever
There are a million roads which lead to the same place
It is the means along the way that awakens us
We are not hopeless
Within the unknown
Is it us who chose
Within the unknown
Is it us
Within the unknown
Is it us who chose
Within the unknown
Is it us
Will we be known forever
Forever
Will we be known forever
Forever
Will we be known forever
Forever
Will we be known forever
Forever
Within a world I've never known
Yet so familiar
How could I possibly know
Within a world I've never known
Have we been chosen
Or is it us who chose
Within a world I've never known
Have we been chosen
Or is it us who chose
Within a world I've never known
Have we been chosen
Or is it us who chose
Or is it us who chose
Perception of life is perception of soul
Embrace what's to come
We may not live eternally
Eternity lies within the unknown
Within the unknown
I've held it in my hands
My dismembered soul reassembles
I've held it in my hands
My dismembered soul reassembles
My dismembered soul
Take shape of which you desire
Evil lingers within each valley we pass through
I've held it in my hands
Evil lingers within everything
Hope has replenished my healing body relentless
Always in motion
Evil lingers within everything
I've seen it now, I've held it in my hands
My dismembered soul reassembles
Elevation is no escape
We send ourselves
To search for tranquility
A feeling that can't be found
Search for tranquility
A feeling that can't be found
It is fabricated through acceptance
Of a broken world
Evil lingers within everything
[Instrumental]
The thorns protruding from the vines.
They penetrate
Deep enough to kill the fight
That I have harnessed all my life
That I have harnesses all of my life
Compared just as brothers
Let's not pretend that we each know the other
Neither is greater. Compared just as brothers
We are simply distinguished
One of the same
Bred from a different place
Your hate - It penetrates
Caught under a blanket of fire
I am who I am. Now dragged under
With a smirk so pretentious
You are who you are, now pulled under
Compared just as brothers
I'm alone within a black hole
Turmoil suffocates
I am left to suffer
I will engrave the demise of my brother
I'm alone within a black hole
I have finally come alive
Collectively we wish to uplift
Some we lose along the way
But there are those who return to reclaim their place
This way we sought is obscure and strange
The deranged form groups of hate
Facing the others with fury
Fires which rage will only be extinguished
Brought to us from the greater force
And all which we take must be given back
We are life and we are death
And of course we are all of the rest
I'm already gone though it seems you're here (I'm already gone)
I will return to you when I am through with this
I swear (It seems your here)
I'm already gone though it seems to me you're here
I will return to you when I am through with this I swear
Engulfed in the ocean of life
With only ourselves to protect
Neglect has a consequence
We are life and we are death
The deranged form groups of hate
Groups of hate
Fires which rage will only be extinguished
Some we lose along the way
I'm already gone though it seems you're here (I'm already gone)
I will return to you when I
am through with this I swear (It seems your here)
I'm already gone though it seems to me you're here
I will return to you when I am through with this I swear
I will return to you
I will return
I have finally come alive
Collectively we wish to
We wish to uplift
I'm looking back
I've gone astray
I've chosen my way but have I made a mistake
Here I am longing for shelter
Relinquishing everything
Hold your place and just keep still
Remind yourself you must fulfill your aspirations
Am I just simply afraid
I have chosen my way
But have I made a mistake
Here I am longing for shelter
Relinquishing everything
Hold your place and just keep still
Remind yourself you must fulfill your aspirations
Hold your place and just keep still
Remind yourself you must fulfill your aspirations
Far from the world that I once knew
Everything that I love is everything that I hate
Lost
Far from the world that I once knew
Why must I despise entirely
Everything that I love is everything that I hate
Have my ambitions led me astray
Or am I blatantly afraid
Hold your place and just keep still
Remind yourself you must fulfill your aspirations
Hold your place and just keep still
Remind yourself you must fulfill your aspirations
[Instrumental]
Fall, the bodies fall
I am the immortal
Chosen to judge your sins
Through the worst is spoiled
Judgement will bring you death
I will tear the flesh
Desecrate you
These peasants will see who stands over them all
As their bodies fall, as their bodies fall
The reign of the king who will never be gone
Will destroy you all
Standing as towers
Staring down at the coward
Standing as towers
These monsters burn in vain
Their victims have themselves to blame
Unleash the wolves from hell
Devour the souls and engorge yourselves
Engorge yourselves
All on their knees the weak will weep
Gasping just to breathe
Cold and dark
Compassion has fled
Death lives here instead
Through our streets, a river of red
I smile at the dead
I smile at the dead
I never said I'd show any mercy
(Throw 'em all in the pit)
I never said I'd show any mercy
(Throw 'em all in the pit)
I am the immortal
Chosen to judge your sins
To the ones disloyal
Judgement will now begin
Betrayed and forgotten
Erased and led astray
Retribution
When the core has rotted
It begins to erode away
Execution
Suffer in pain
You can not evade
Turning your back on the bond we've made
You've dug your own grave
And now your terror is mine to shape
I'll watch you die afraid
Tidal waves
They're washing me far away
Islands of misery
Can't escape
Disintegrate what we've made
Shattered trust cutting deep
On these islands of misery
Turning your back on the bond we've made
You've dug your own grave
And now your terror is mine to shape
I'll watch you die afraid
Tidal waves
They're washing me far away
Islands of misery
Can't escape
Disintegrate what we've made
Shattered trust cutting deep
There is no life left in these bones
Emptiness has swallowed me whole
There is no light within this soul
Emptiness has swallowed me whole
Turning your back on the bond we've made
You've dug your own grave
And now your terror is mine to shape
I'll watch you die afraid
Tidal waves
They're washing me far away
Islands of misery
Can't escape
Disintegrate what we've made
Shattered trust cutting deep
On these islands of misery
Within isolation
Controlled and made blind
Weathered desolation
Is wiped from our eyes
As I speak I begin to find belief
Powers in between
Reach for me
We refuse to live
Only sparing breath
We're caged in silence
We will soon begin
Bringing forth the end
To all this madness
Hold me high above the rest
We speak through defiance
We refuse to live
In this pattern of death
Return the violence
We refuse to live
Only sparing breath
We're caged in silence
We will soon begin
Bringing forth the end
To all this madness
Hold me high above the rest
We speak through defiance
Hold me high above the rest
We speak through defiance
You're built out of lies
We will not live caged in silence
Deception contrived
We will not rest
We are the defiant
Rise out of the rust
Out of the wreckage
Built out of lies
Born of the flies in despair
We refuse to live
Only sparing breath
We're caged in silence
We will soon begin
Bringing forth the end
To all this madness
Hold me high above the rest
We speak through defiance
We refuse to live
In this pattern of death
Return the violence
Rise
Attempt to claim my life
I'll shatter your bones
And to your widowed wife I'll serve your remains
Wallowing in spite
My inner turmoil comes to life
Cultivating deprivation
Vicious mental separation
Cultivating deprivation
Vicious world of tortured souls
They'll fear me in the afterlife
I'm calling their names
I will haunt you endlessly (haunt you endlessly)
They'll fear me in the afterlife
I will haunt you endlessly
Now I will bury your name
And to it all that binds
Inside the darkest cave
I'll burn your remains
You will be erased
I never thought you'd dare to take what is mine
My inner turmoil, it comes to life
They'll fear me in the afterlife
I'm calling their names
I will haunt you endlessly
They'll fear me in the afterlife
I will haunt you endlessly
My inner turmoil comes to life
I'll shatter your bones
Arise, arise in failure, failure
Forgiven for the all, the all
This dead space inside of me, it bleeds me dry
This dark space has finally made up its mind
Drifting from my mistakes as I fall away
To outrun the hurricane that trails behind
I'm made to face this shame I have
Tripping on the same beliefs that I once had
I'm made to face this shame I have
Wishing I could turn away and take it all back
Arise, arise in failure, failure
Our bones are made to rot, to rot
The lost, the damned, the broken traitors
Forgiven for the all, the all
In my mind alone shadows watching me fall
Down this hollowed hole to insanity
This dead space inside of me, it bleeds me dry
This dark space has finally made up its mind
Drifting from my mistakes as I fall away
To outrun the hurricane that trails behind
Face the guilt
I turned away but they just forced my hand
Enough, enough
Find the will to put away the past and just repent
We must, we must
As I slip out of place
An eclipse masks my face
And I can't fabricate
A new name on this grave
Face the guilt
I turned away but they just forced my hand
Corrupt, corrupt
Find the will to put away the past and just repent
We must, we must
Even when you find yourself alone, alone
Arise, arise in failure, failure
Our bones are made to rot, to rot
The lost, the damned, the broken traitors
Forgiven for the all, the all
Face the guilt
I turned away but they just forced my hand
Enough, enough
Find the will to put away the past and just repent
We must, we must
Prevail
I saw a vision where I was young and divine
Believed in fiction, it pushed me over the line
Soaked in the waters of a perpetual hate
Come bow before me as I deliver your fate
This world was never enough
Ascending high up above
Acknowledge what I've become
They said to me I will be nothing
They said to me I am too weak
They said to me I will be nothing
They said to me I am too weak
I almost believed I would be nothing
As they shackled their words to my feet
I almost believed I was too weak
I have rose from beneath
I have lived in this vision for all my life
And every moment that I have spent here is compromised
As I gain focus, I see myself through a different light
And I've now noticed that I am not who I had in mind
A demon has control of my mind
The darkness sees through these very eyes
I've come to claim what's rightfully mine
Bow or pay with your life
Speak your last words to my knife
Never enough
I've risen up
I have lived in this vision for all my life
And every moment that I have spent here is compromised
As I gain focus, I see myself through a different light
And I've now noticed that I am not who I had in mind
I saw a vision where I was young and divine
Believed in fiction, it pushed me over the line
I never meant to lose my self control
Now I fall headfirst through this abysmal hole
To the prisons with those who disobey
Where they shall rot and decay
And to the few who dare deceive me
Your heads will roll on the pavement beneath me
I will unhinge this world
My endless reign is all that I can see
I will unhinge this world
Knell at my feet or die in the streets
Your ridicule has made me what I am
What I am
To the honest men I've broken apart
But they fail to understand
That their ridicule has made me what I am
To the prisons with those who disobey
Where they shall rot and decay
And to the few who dare deceive me
Your heads will roll on the pavement beneath me
The hate you placed that made yourself crave ending
Famished ambition to eradicate you
When you're cast out, when you seek forgiveness
May you then realize your worthless existence
The red stains
The red stains
To the honest men I've broken apart (broken apart)
But they fail to understand
That their ridicule has made me what I am
Stained in red
The rodents will feast on your insides
Your ridicule has made me what I am
Your ridicule has made me what I am
We should not expect
The worst from ourselves
Or it's all we'll receive
We should not descend
Below our own selves
We'll get trapped underneath
We lie in suffrage
We're treated as mistakes
Feeling defeated
With crippled spirits
But we refuse to break
Our hearts not depleted
No control
We're unsustainable
On the ropes
Fighting and capable
Standing at the edge
Are we still worth it
No control
We're non retainable
Lost in smoke
But we're not replaceable
Clinching to our pledge
We are not worthless
We lie in suffrage
We're treated as mistakes
Feeling defeated
With crippled spirits
But we refuse to break
Our hearts not depleted
No control
We're unsustainable
On the ropes
Fighting and capable
We lie in suffrage
We're treated as mistakes
Feeling defeated
Weakness overwhelms us all
Tranquil thoughts will overcome
Along the way
Mistakes were made, they'll call it fate
A world of slaves
Driven insane and thrown away
Like birds to worms
We don't need them, we just feed them
None of our concerns
Will ever reach them, we are beneath them
Deprivation
Annihilation
Along the way
Mistakes were made, they'll call it fate
A world of slaves
Driven insane and thrown away
A world of slaves
Among the ones who've given up
Loathing and dead weight
Has held us down for long enough
We'll forge a pathway
Nothing is seamless
Reset the sequence
A world of slaves
Along the way
Mistakes were made, they'll call it fate
A world of slaves
Driven insane and thrown away
A world of slaves
In slavery of the blood thirst
Drink from their hearts
If your brother shows mercy
Tear him apart
(Clean)
Follow me through the winds that curse our name
Out into the lands of the slain
These machines will not see defeat
As they sever your arteries
Mindless skeletons under control
Slay them all 'til their blood is cold!
Watch their limbs fall at your feet
Move your eyes
Through which I can see
With your hands, tear through their flesh
Don’t bother cleaning the mess
Kill all the rest
Beg to be freed
You’re wasting your breath
As you try and speak
Under siege
Brought to your knees
Your imminent death awaits as you plead
Suffering
Follow me, follow me into the land of the slain
Cursing their names we ride
Follow me, follow me into the land of the slain
Cursing their names tonight
Decide
Live or die with those who dare defy
Stand up and testify
Breathing in dark poison
Toxins ripping apart your skin
Lungs are burnt wide open
Let the black smoke fill and close them
Looking back again
Every single thing in this world will end
Broken once again
We will never last in this pit of sin
Shame looks over us
Deepening the feeling of remorsefulness
Regret
We must not resist
Genocide will end this pit of sin
Take out your knives and claim all of their lives
Leave cadavers where they lie mangled alive
Run for your lives as death follows behind
Now the reaper has arrived
Try to survive
Those who deny my name will finally die
All your organs will be mine
Take out their eyes
I will decide your fate for you tonight
Hold their heads up towards the sky
Tear out their spines
Try to survive
I've ruled over a thousand suns
My destiny has seen itself through
I have avenged my suffrage
The torment now feasts on the minds of my people
You shall always and forever know my pain
The very pain which you have brought upon me
And in the end I will be no more
Deep inside all I want is to die
My rise is my demise
From the dust
I rose up and brought hell
Unchained but captivate
In hate I dwell
The power controls me
Darkness, the Goddess who knows me
I'm ashamed of what I've become
Sick of myself
Sick of being numb
I'm ashamed of what I've become
I am not enough
I have given up
I'm not who I was
(Who I was)
And I wish I was a better man
But I am who I am
(Who I am)
I crawl from the dust
(From the dust)
And I've never seemed to understand
But this is who I am
(Who I am)
I've disgraced this crown of blood
I am simply not enough
Forgive me for giving up
Salvation can't save what I've done
Lost and stricken with despair
Crippled kingdom lies unrepaired
Despair
I long for the moment I no longer breathe air
I'm not who I was
(Who I was)
And I wish I was a better man
But I am who I am
(Who I am)
I crawl from the dust
(From the dust)
And I've never seemed to understand
But this is who I am
(Who I am)
I've disgraced this crown of blood
I am simply not enough
Forgive me for giving up
Salvation can't save what I've done
Lost and stricken with despair
Crippled kingdom lies unrepaired
Despair
Accept my fate
Ascending now skywards
My body shakes, the top of this tower
I face the ground as I lean my weight forward
Their digital eyes watch as I fall downward
A final inception, it calls through the air
I pray as I'm falling
The power is there
I pray as I'm falling
The power is there
I'm not who I was
(Who I was)
And I wish I was a better man
But I am who I am
(Who I am)
I crawl from the dust
(From the dust)
And I've never seemed to understand
But this is who I am
(Who I am)
