Rock and Root 04:49
lyrics

The taste of rot in my mouth Must be from the consumed fear The color of the silence is dark red I avoid his gaze on the inner ring He can't be trusted A slave in defiance Of his status Scraping at the walls of the cage around his head A loose cannon Each breath taken has a tag attached The brand of the master on my tongue I spit on the weavers of this delusion I shit on the fathers of this resolution Rock and root take me there To the forgotten place of rest Where this folly can be reset Burdened by the heart of the earth Cries for the lifting of the curse I forfeit all the sins of man Disgusted I can't stomach the stench I smell it Weeping from every pore Too in fear To fight for something more Brittle people everywhere Sighing out their visions Never to be seen again Taking solace in constriction Mistaking it for an embrace But as long as you follow the rhythm The wolves won't even show their face And that's enough to keep on living Rock and root take me there To the forgotten place of rest I forfeit all the sins of man Disgusted I can't stomach the stench I smell it Weeping from every pore Too in fear To fight for something more

I wake up to this reckoning Counting skull piles in my dreams Waking up to the same old song My ears ringing til their numb Reminds me of the bells signaling the hour's end I hold on to memories When my eyelids would cover me From the truth Silencing the fear of what I've seen Just because I was born into this Doesn't mean that I would not find out Every moment that is spent awakening the conscious.. I bleed from my eyes These tears shed for genocides Of flesh and bone destroyed And those of the mind I hold on to memories When my eyelids would cover me From the proof Silencing the truth of what I've seen the truth of what I've seen No Just because I was born into this Just because I was born In my desperate search for the truth I find myself eluding the truth I find myself dissolving the truth Just because I was born into this Just because I was born

Burnt Offering 05:28
lyrics

Soon it will be your turn The chorus of screams will be yours Slip into that dream of abstinence But light shown in through the window pane Exposes fondling hands Twitching like rats picking away the remnants of flesh The telling is always obscured By a grating echo Committed now to the chalice It was meant for the holy one cold and dead on the dais Soon it will all be yours The crimson rain of holocaust It can't be our fault Our aim was to control To paint the rust in gold To build a world of holes No one wants to cover the bodies strewn above the rubble Man and beast alike Sun bleached white The color of our insides Removed of stain or affliction Minerva select me I am ready to lead The telling is always obscured By a grating echo Committed now to the chalice It was meant for the holy one cold and dead on the dais Soon it will all be yours You will turn the key And open the maw Soon it will be your turn The crimson rain of consequence It can't be our fault Our aim was to control To paint the rust in gold To build a world of holes Do only what your told Design the shape of your soul

The Passing of Moonlight 05:42
lyrics

I see two eyes falling towards the sky and I die inside. In my fractured mind I try to deny the sting of regret. Why can't I forget? Can I be set free? No. Wake up disillusioned one quivering in the sun. With sight unfettered, how could the past matter? Now that you've found your misplaced truth? The one presented at birth. Let go of sorrow's crow. Release it to the cosmos. I see two eyes falling towards the sky and I die inside. In my fractured mind I try to deny the pieces needed to be set in place. The passing of moonlight. The aching twilight. Across the forlorn sky. Health in the churn of time. Now that you've found the piece you've been looking for Caution in every step. For fear of consequence. No collusion. All you were is dead. Now light fills your head.

Ambivalent 03:37

maybe maybe we’ve painted a portrait of ourselves covered in mud and the muck betraying the blossomed and petaled perfection awash in the lies of the swamp of course child your heart is imperfect you are from my whole a piece of my heart is your heart and i grew to hold it in a cold steadfast thumping ambivalent triumphant cawing of the truthseers ambivalent gnashing teeth of the cattleborn desperate To find another way around this desperate find another way around this There has to be another way to get out of this alive Maybe Maybe one day we will find the truth buried in ruins I have come to want for nothing And each day comes as a sweet blessing And still i feel this dragon in front of me Breathing all the fumes of its agony deep inside of me Burned inside of me Branding of the guilty Inherited suffering Licked by the flames of my darkest memories Wishing release from this perpetuity Maybe we belong in ruins Maybe Maybe one day we will find the truth buried in ruins Maybe Maybe one day Maybe Maybe one day

Among the Sheep 05:01
lyrics

Among the sheep denial wrought on the face dissension rotting the core of the bones allowance of evils inside the home fulfillment of the self made prophecy the fire stifled in its prime black sand falling like the grains of time to quench the truth from the light the embers hissing remorse as the plan runs its course the self made prophecy It comes to be nobody has to die put the guns down and sit quiet like allow the glue of inaction set watch with your eyes taped open and sit in the corner with your new friends allow the stillness to shake you allow the fear to wake you from a day gone wrong nobody has to die put the guns down and sit quiet like allow the glue of inaction set watch with your eyes taped open and sit in the corner with your new friends Just have a seat Just have a seat What a day gone wrong Every moment that passes an illusion is brought to the fold that this life is better without the pain The pain Every moment that passes an illusion is brought to the fold that this life is better without the pain The pain can we allow it over and over and over again? a thief in our home that we set free can we allow it over and over and over again? a thief in our home that we set free

The One Below 06:29
lyrics

A gilded hall of broken men All sitting perfectly still If there was one among them who was now dead You could not tell who was rotting But one now far below singing the anthem of their cause Your eyes Your eyes are fire, hearts never know the truth. Your eyes are fire, hearts never know the truth, when the day comes, sit back and await damnation. Just sit back and wait the gods what are they now To behold a city like this knotted mass below you No mind, just pride, necessitation to feed ambition Hearts never seek the truth … A thousand eyes A thousand eyes A thousand eyes watch the world go blind Oh look at the time can you forgive me? Can you forgive my lacking will Oh look at the time can you forgive me? Just know The Child Is running wild Just know The Gods Are running wild So the war is on A choice must be made before the dawn So the war is on this choice alone could save us all The powers of the mind deserve a new temple A thousand eyes watch the world go blind Oh look at the time Lies

Izanami 04:17
lyrics

She bore the sky lights Walking from her tomb Under a spell of longing His sight was cast too soon Now ashamed She remembers the flames How could he forsake their love She would have always obeyed his plea Now to double the pain He flees To leave her all alone again In Yomi As the fear grips each stride She follows on close behind The terror of her visage distorts his pride Calling to him who was once Her love and keeper of her heart Each breath a ragged sob Come back my one As he stumbles to the door As a final seal of his betrayal He locks her in with herself Now a broken shadow She vows to claim every soul until she finds her one It's not enough Never enough As the rage grips her mind Wandering through a hole in time Blackened memories of his face bored into her eyes Calling to him who was once Her love and keeper of her heart Each breath a ragged sob Come back my one

The Unpulled Thread 05:15
lyrics

Grrrrrr pause It's come again The unpulled thread Forced mirror over tired eyes dissolving Into puddles of fear and contempt To face oneself is the teacher the torture Resolute in surrendering These flames are welcoming me to cry out For recompense These muted cries out for justice Every step wilfully taken To be not ashamed of honor To be not afraid of balance To be not erased from the ledger To be not another nameless martyr Fight to the center Find the god inside Fight to the center Find the god inside Fight to the center Find the god inside All that i have been is fading away What i am now is everything Can i awaken in you the thought to be more than another hole consuming the world To be not afraid of balance To be not erased from the ledger To be not another nameless martyr Can i awaken in you the thought to be more than another hole Take a breath Let it burn through Awaken unscathed Just reborn renewed Each footfall a mountain crashing Into the sea Take a breath

Mr. Crowley 05:11
lyrics

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head? Oh Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead? Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic With the thrill of it all You fooled all the people with magic Yeah, you waited on Satan's call Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure? Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport Uncovering things that were sacred Manifest on this Earth Ah, conceived in the eye of a secret And they scattered the afterbirth Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse? Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course Approaching a time that is classic I hear maiden's call Approaching a time that is drastic Standing with their backs to the wall Was it polemically sent? I wanna know what you meant I wanna know I wanna know what you meant, yeah
