If I struggle a lifetime
What would my body be? An empty shell On what a demon fed Could be a heavy burden to stay true to your words Speak up I wanna silence everything We forgot no plan Doesn't mean that I get what I want for free We forgot no meaning Would you force me to a place where I make sense? 'Cause nothing lasts forever How do I get home? Everything revolves around me If I can't find myself? It's so completely fake How do I get home? Everything revolves around me If even you can't help? Dark nights on my soul I deny failure I ignite Woe is on my misery She wins all their eyes Realize what they find's not fate This is not me, this is me So if I struggle a lifetime What good would that do? We forgot a plan Doesn't have to stop the feeling inside If I do make sense Would you drag me down? 'Cause nothing lasts forever How do I get home? Everything revolves around me If I can't find myself? It's so completely fake How do I get home? Everything revolves around me If even you can't help? Dark nights on my soul |

Willed by winter's so called frost
Fix the in anxieties from grip The frost that burned the honorees Underneath the heavy clouds The lifted sword, the broken shield The hand that drew the final word From the frozen mouth of Arkhangelsk Let them go, let them burn the world to cinders Let the rats run down Falling through the tungsten skies The burning clouds of Arkhangelsk To the eye of judgement now What will stand when time of the end (time of the end)? Center stone, into fire All to nothing and nothing to lose They gather groaning to the souls Of the grinding wheels of Arkhangelsk With one word, one movement in the fabric Everything dies The storm that sweeps the world away From the frozen plains of Arkhangelsk Inherit from the morning star What others brought And the land, forgot Soaring through van allen belts Through blazing stars, through dying suns Collide not now, but carry us Through the burning air of Arkhangelsk |

Do not hide your sorrow,
Or banish it from sight Take it out to burn, Turn the pain against it In a day, that holds no other What are we? The fuel or the flame? In a life, that hides behind you What are you? The fuel or the flame? In the proud momentum, Thrust the hand from the start Our fragile fate falls apart I hear you in my echo, A few steps behind I see you in my shadow, waiting inside What if we don't question the meaning of it all The answer in our system Bound to kill the spark The moments so illusive One dream never ends Scorns the doubting nomads That burn another trail In a day that holds no other What are we? The fuel or the flame? In the life, that hides behind you What are you? The shine of trembling stars, Out in the distant Curse this lack of site, Into darkness without end In a day that holds no other What are we? The fuel or the flame? In a life that hides behind you What are you? The fuel or the flame? In a day that holds no other What are we? In a life that hides behind you What are you? What are you? |

He takes a stand
And looks his enemy in the eye This goes no further I have the upper hand This ends on my terms I challenge non-existence Every single day The end of mind End of freedom End of everything A most violent event Breaks individuality And turns out your shadow In devastating light That push against our eye Dance to the bloodsong In dream oblivion He makes a point Of sticking to the lie This is the last time I'm now done with this I carry my nothing Every single day The end of mind End of freedom End of everything Now with reality on end The fall of all morality Dance to the bloodsong In devastating light That push against our eye Dance to the bloodsong In dream oblivion The end of faith End of meaning End of everthing |

Why do I see her, the never ending nights? Why do I see her, wearing nothing but the dark? Have you come here to warn me Of what I cannot see You want to tell me something But you do not have the words I know where you live I can see through your darkness And when you sleep I hear the heart that beats you Have you come here to warn me Of what I cannot see? You want to tell me something But you do not have the words Eyes far into the distance A life that does not connect Time played well its parts On the strings that blind us Encounters in silence Words elude the freeing night Wish I could fathom What is too hard to tell Her head hangs low In the silence of her room Her head hangs low She takes a bite out of her heart Have you come here to warn me Of what I cannot see You want to tell me something But you do not have the words |

Drink this water again
That runs by without memory Where your name is lost Drink and forget yourself This featureless stream That carries your face further on These waters know you It calls you by your one true name Have you ever noticed The spaces in-between Where life is in recession And agony begins? I am the call I speak inside of you I am the void That haunts you I am the howl That calls you out I am the void I am the... void! You rest your weary head On to the underworld And let the silent whispers Guide your waking dreams In time with the pulse Of what is long since gone The beat of the fallen Is cold already in your blood The machinery of chaos Comes alive in you Chained to the grinding wheel Of forces unseen I am the call I speak inside of you I am the void That haunts you I am the howl That calls you out I am the void I am the... void! I am the void! You have always been between another set of walls Outside of which the world is watching down on you Inside the silence speaks Kept close to the endless alibi Never reaching out Never give in I am the call I speak inside of you I am the void That haunts you I am the howl That calls you out I am the void I am the void |

Eyes that meet to say farewell
And linger through the sleepless nights A trail of days that end in tears But I can never be there The rush of hours that never seem to end What life has dealt you can not comprehend I am the absentee I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see through your eyes, I'm right here How could I have known what preceded your own thoughts Wish that I could listen to what only speaks inside Every raging dissonance Each jarring note But I could never be there How could you think that I would understand When words just go around what the heart truly wants? I am the absentee I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see through your eyes, I'm right here I want to tell you, Of the exploding light How everything is visible Moments before the dark I am never, never there I know you're out there searching tonight Another day and I'm not there Thrust with nails of conflict Anxiety and pain Through spells of anger, confusion and defeat I wish you'd see me here in front of you, But I am not here I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see though your eyes I know your out there, But I'm right here Another day and I cannot see though your eyes, Lead me right |

Let the horizon lead
Onto the ether of the night Draped across the burning heavens Flying homeward like a bird of the soul Shattered into a million brighter stars Each flare unique and rare Scattered across forever Out from creation's core An end beyond compare Iridium Now is the time to leave We lie awake, we stand afire At the edge of the world Above a myriad of light Below the mantle of the stars And strangely they fall Shattered into a million brighter stars Each flare unique and rare Scattered across forever Out from creation's core An end beyond compare Iridium Shattered into a million brighter stars Each flare unique and rare Scattered across forever Out from creation's core An end beyond compare An end beyond compare Iridium |

We are delusional
To go against mortality Still we fight, love and create As the only creatures In on life's grand secret We sense the pointlessness beyond There is a void between our hands That drown the sounds of night An arrow laced with liquid darkness For every sungods heart It has always been right here Like a shadow in our blood It waits for you and me The shadow in our blood We are delusional From fictional reality To prayers for prosperity Loneliness Can we resist your pale attraction Give in to the dream with open eyes How will this world within a world live on Another page torn from the book of strangers Who says ""I"" when all voices fear their own sound And who remembers the hours It has always been right here Like a shadow in our blood It waits for you and me The shadow in our blood Here in the barren and still Far from the shores of real Dreams borne beyond borders On weave of thought and want Here were invincible It has always been right here Like a shadow in our blood It waits for you and me The shadow in our blood |

It starts below
The pile and the burning in the Darkness in the recipe And fire in the soul To paralyze and strangle hold Disable the design The remnants of reality In our measured time Is torn apart We carry our fear inside, A space that hold the darkness We stretch our skin around, To cover the abyss The smirk on our reality At the future we foresee Blood that seeks redemption In endless nights of sin Spades without spears That pierce the blinding sun We heard from the heralds of grief That nothing remains We carry our fear inside, A space that hold the darkness We stretch our skin around, To cover the abyss Breaks into day Upsets the system It's in our nature to bear The hidden to the end What if this feeling contains the truth? What if our dreams give way to the dogma of old? What if lost desire can be found? No shelter, no barriers between what's already inside Betrays what the surface holds We wear our lives On waters and dust Like daemons of the lost Still wrapped in our own confusion, The call of the abyss We carry our fear inside, A space that hold the darkness We stretch our skin around, To cover the abyss |

Eventually they'll come Your name has been called Out for aeons To claim the blood And salvage what remains For once we've seen the fragile nature Of things behind these windows Where nothing lives And nothing ends And seen what drives the hopeless In between their closing yellowed walls The day has come You are the fatalist The day has come You are the fatalist You walk on soil that dreams of blood How can we fight fatigue? In pre-historic sorrow? When all is preordained The cycle never ends What once had been an endless realm Of possibility and dream Now laid to waste and ruin Laid to waste again You wash your hands in blood You squander time We borrow from eternity Is it another lame excuse? The day has come You are the fatalist The day has come You are the fatalist You walk on soil that dreams of blood You are the fatalist If nothing changes Then nothing ends Your thoughts are broken Your reasoning is flawed The defense is just an act And lies are all you've got You are the fatalist You are the fatalist How easy we can see? Defeat behind your argument The fatalistic smile The day has come You are the fatalist The day has come You are the fatalist You walk on soil that dreams of blood The day has come The day has come You walk the ground that screams for murder |

What if you are an island of sorrow
Then I'll be the raging sea What if you are the reaching trees Then I'll be the storm that with fire rages The new loneliness Your name on the door Just like a diagnose For venomous disease Man is the cemetery for unlived life All for nought The grand accusation Your face is your name Word and shield Sharp as a curse Man is the cemetery for unlived life All for nought The grand accusation You chose rejection Over thoughts of insight You take action From focus on intent And brace for impact Not waiting for the fall What cries here, cries inside Man is the cemetery of unlived life The grand accusation What if you were a country of grief With me the invading force What if you were to measure the hollow That captivates and devours you The new loneliness Your name on the door Just like a diagnose For venomous disease Man is the cemetery for unlived life All for nought |

Of all that crimes and hours broken What never came, will never be the same I tell you this, I tell you what The mind it has been flooded All the exits sealed A poison set to enter The unforgiving me Probes and infiltrators Infiltrate me It's in these hours we forget ourselves (Ourselves) Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself)...Go No need for your defenses My angerwall will hold Take your steady pride In monotony and beat Invaders and corruptors Invade me It's in these hours we forget ourselves (Ourselves) And never again Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself) A super nova of flame on fire This broken spirit, blind at heart Bite down hard on frustration The siege that can't be broken This hollow flame of fear I tell you this, I tell you what So close without connection Locked inside the sphere I take the blame upon me And scream at what I see I'm blind at heart So blind at heart It's in these hour we forget ourselves (Ourselves) And never again Within a fire that consumes itself (Itself) |

What I'd never abandon
We channel darkness well The evidence in pools of blood I cannot penetrate, I cannot penetrate Will you come for my forgiveness (There's nothing left to give) No response to your repentance (Just empty me) Wasted from the living days I've been cut by endless shame The blazing satisfiers Who constantly give up Where we got our love repentance Bastards of life To bring meaning to it all Meaning to it all Will you come for my forgiveness (There's nothing left to give) No response to your repentance (Just empty me) Take now from this body A coward's heart Like a soul beyond repair Empty me Between the purity and reason Self deprecation Who has the misery, you Why do we inspect ever closer What human searches for the core for this Cure for chaos Will you come for my forgiveness (There's nothing left to give) No response to your repentance (Just empty me) Lots of memories, lost and forsaken I'm in the center, I've set the scene I listen to the world stressing out To stop pity and kill the place |

I think I just forgot
To pick up the shells From a recent discharge And you took the blame Explanations falter To ears fallen deaf Wherever I go I get lost A reference to something That both of us knew A nothing that favours the few In the darkness electric we see Of the silence that's spoken tonight I think I have lost my language Whatever I've said I deny I think I have lost my way Whatever was missing is gone I let my focus shift Your face is a map I fail to discover Drowned in the sound, so lost in the order It's an understated word, the un-breaking knowledge Interlocked and holding, a stalemate to break I take hold of the flame that unites In the silence that speaks to me now I think I have lost my language Whatever I've said I deny I think I have lost my way Whatever was missing is gone I let my focus shift I struggle to find the words that negate my meaning I fail to comprehend what message is given I decline the sleight of hand that leads to rejection An attempt to find closure with no sense of pride Drown the fury and swallow the fire Drown the fury Swallow the fire I think I have lost my language Whatever I've said I deny I think I have lost my way Whatever was missing is gone I let my focus shift |

Like lust, my shelter failed me
No power to subside My instincts never broken This downfall so close at hand Well the thing that scares me most Is the fear I see in others And the thing that frightens me to the core Is when I see that fear in you Like shields against the action No enemy to subdue We barricade forever The weak minds inside us all Well the thing that scares me the most Is the fear I see in others And the thing that really frightens me to the core Is when I see that fear in you To break the rules and barriers When you're scared enough Before the end is here Are you scared enough Are you scared enough Are you scared enough Well the thing that scares me the most Is the fear I see in others That look to send shivers down my spine Will haunt me to the end of living days and nights And the thing that matters to me most When I sense this fear in you |

Inside the particle storm
Where clouds of napalm shimmer With the promise of one final dawn Inside the particle bliss Where rages collide into nothingness And the erasions, one final kiss I crawl in the garden of eden Clogging the bloodstream of birth Tearing a hole in the fabric of life The horizon enriched with scars Inside the particle place A shimmer of disillusion Proclaiming the end of days We leave now Nothing will follow, nothing at all The cleansing flames of entropy to devour us all Our lungs are filled with sorry Our children drowning like dogs Waken to the weight of cold dark matter Without promise, meaning, or name Inside the particle storm The poison gene of humanity confined This is the moment when bloodshed sank into the sky The heavy price of chaos Descend in merciless demise |

We lie on the edges of failure's fled Lead on by shining faces, levelling extremes What used to be, our humility is gone Walk around, with skull and bones We're living just to die I see more moments indict of decision The windows are our lights It is the only place I know, where death is most alive It is where truth is turned to lie, where death is most alive Set flame to the ensnares, we'll pierce their wooden shield Branded by what claims you You wear the mark of death In death and loss and agony, a character defined Stripped of all the tragedy What life is left to fight Go now, until there's nothing left Go now, the dying has begun It is the only place I know, where death is most alive It is where truth is turned to lie, where death is most alive So I flee from all that is me To hide behind this pale, dead face Whatever happened to desire, want and need Whatever happened to integrity Imagination is a cause in all of this Whatever happened was left behind This is a ghost town Our bodies scattered in the streets Go now, to never return I've seen more pitiful humiliation That you could never hide It is the only place I know, where death is most alive It is where truth is turned to lie, where death is most alive |

Is it as bright as all can see? Request for countermeasures to state claim of this my cavern None to take and none be given as the window breaks to black A process left to solitude is the action left undone Answers left to echo in the silent halls of none What can you tell me of the inside? Is it as bright as all can see? Cast down the hopes and aspirations Shut the windows tight, everybody said "No! No! No!" Reset your fears and good intentions Barred up for life, everybody said "No!

Mental Blindfolds on
Early on the fascination intense How to discern just where right belongs Something has got to give These things I just don't want you to see There is no need for you to start revolutions I don't want you to talk to the minions Just show me a brand new face an open mind against a dying race Something has got to give These things I just don't want you to hear Something has got to give These things I just don't want you to feel Cannot fail in this the era of losers, burnt the shell of those that once held the torches Cannot give you the senses anew nor will you know innocence again Something has got to give These things I just don't want you to know In time all your questions will be answered Not what you hoped for, not what you dreamed All preconceptions crumble Something has got to give These things I just don't want you to learn Won't hold up to the standards you keep never came from the formative years Just show me a brand new mind Keep in what you left behind Something has got to give These things I just don't want you to be |

What if some things are destined to failure?
What if some things are never meant to be? What if someone never sees? What if someone never opens? What if somehow we are different? Though I never claimed to be right. Give to me, the benefit of doubt! I brought you fires. All that you put out. I brought you fires! For I cannot be without. I came with sadness! But this my shattered heart can't bear! What of the times in exhile? What of the hours passed? What if touches seem too trivial? You can never tell me I'm wrong. A song I've heard so long! I brought you fires! All that you put out. I brought you fires! For I cannot be without. I came with sadness! But this my shattered heart can't bear! So what if healing takes forever? So what if time is meant for others? So what is left is but a shatter. And what is broken can't be whole. What is broken, can't be whole again! I brought you fires! All that you put out. I brought you fires! For I cannot be without. I came with sadness! But this my shattered heart can't bear! |

Could not have forseen
what the lies of the bearer would bring Trailing the marks of his errors trace the original sin Fallen I cling to deception This talk of madness is in me Come now as the drapery falls From homes that take the foul in hand Mind cloven Sweet spoken with words that led us off the track Truth altered Blindsighted Thrive on the illusion and the image of a life to be Unmount the shielding facade Cast to death the disciples fevered rage to burn them Fallen Endure the spit of others Locked inside the pretence cage Where the cause will be certain Fallen I'll see you inside |

I can't remember ever wearing Like fingerprints on your heart Reading out the last lines of code To the untrained eye a secret I bled away the last of you Sought trust in shapes of combined results that trickles from a less than solid case Fought off attacks of resurfaced lust Burn the gracing grounds What will give in first the body or the lash Monochromatic stains Who will cave in first the leader or the fake Monochromatic stains This pile of ashes of a soul informant pokes abound These sickly little fingers Get away from me Tread not the path of least restraint each piece of evidence a lie, a lie The body, the face all items in place I don't remember a thing A sacrifice made to the loss of mind Folly a man's demise Track now the stains that allow my fall sickening, the sight of it all Never shall I claim my innocence I just was not there |

"Come with me" he said and erased it from his mind
"Be with me now" but for love we are frightened stiff We'd rather leave and head for the skies Than say all the right words too soon "And I never thought you would But always knew you could" "We take off from here" and in that Instant nothing remained of what was Whereas the soul provides, freedom Narrowed down for the taking "I never wanted you to lie Never needed fragments of your day" A broken promise made To always come around Never to stay And as tired as cliches come Did not expect nor frown upon Lighter hearts have taken bait sweetened words now with bitter taste A distance kept that never fails to close us in And forget the days that still linger on Inside the single part of two We'd rather leave no trace and not look back Than face the anxiety here and now |

To remain objective, to a closer call
Secretly rejected, and to mediocrity fall caught on the downslopes of life The patted shoulder remembers The elbowed side resists Encircled ad nauseum An enemy to define ourselves An enemy to refine our hate Encouraging on the negative scale Bent out of shape is the measuring norm In words and in writing No one knows my enemy... like I do A social repellant, (not) merely an adversary Lost to the falling words, Kept the last of all understood glances to work against The patted shoulder remembers The elbowed side resists Encircled ad nauseum An enemy to define ourselves An enemy to refine our hate |

Time in arguments will end
Flames of preparation Fingers felt the whipping Hand that feeds the flame Escalate the drought Itching to join the fray Wishing that darkness was sound shutting desires out Wishing that darkness was sound but as moths to the flame... we go You, the ignorant take sides in these three dimensions Nullify importance confined within the page Scan for rapture again, look for an instant save Wishing that darkness was sound shutting desires out Wishing that darkness was sound but as moths to the flame... we go Mere moments pass and still it seems detached from insight, thought and word Ever since it lost its edge, lost in the noise forever be in the blur of information, the nail that never sticks The nail that never sticks White Noise is the sound... the clarity (?) White Noise / Black Silence Venting a foul stench, purging the fevered self behind a traitor's name Face the consequence, taken back in the eyes of fairness A nobody forever... hidden and locked away Working the boards again Giving the wrath away Wishing that darkness was sound shutting desires out Wishing that darkness was sound but as moths to the flame... we go |

I grant to you
no privilage of person no sense of self denial of choice its wants out so from all the little bits and pieces a simple case of lost and found a wicked new beginning i don't ever want to see it's the oldest trick in the book just like everything you always knew turned upon its very end there's nothing left to be half a mind to say all the things that bother me today you better check if it's me in that coffin of yours or just the one, the one you thought you knew I am one, Who am I? No character to be lost inside A mind is hard to please so wander aimlessly Hands clenched in fists of rage concealed in frustration there's a part of me that cannot deal with the character I am forced to be a thinly veiled plan to lay your world afoot lost in community blind in belonging is there really nothing more than this? the emptiness remains so put on your brave face and take the plunge again |

Went inside the caves of seven wolves
Felt of the forces that lend themselves to speed those final words to fracture the very structure can't stand this glacial pace the damage done It seems these days are getting shorter derails my train of thought What said in hand was done chased unforgiveness down these corridors locked down the basis for the willing form a trail far from strayed the damage done Set aside from eyes of others Our frail structures can't keep up with the pace Brought out for all to see the damage done face contradicting needs We bring our cages home for none to see in vain to lessen responsibility the damage done |

It comes from all we're giving
In seemingly endless supply As signals cross defiantly Into this volatile mix we charge And the stubborn mind repeats The errors to challenge our grounds Either soar above or the detour takes you right Back down To where no one wants to see Misgivings in this starry nightlight Fill in the blanks That one will fall To the haunts and horrors To the haunts and horrors There is nothing left A mere shadow When adrenaline runs dry There is nothing there An empty prop When adrenaline runs dry It gets you deep Down low now As they told you of the blazing heights The stage from which the world is viewed Is the mirror to shatter the image The crypt he kept for hiding Retreat from another attack Painlessly forgiving A refuge in deceptive black It works within the system And they won't understand A lesser known deceiver Will fool you even more Now, now, now Now taunt the wasted It's all about nothing What to squeeze within the span of attention Brought to ground Let the chaos pass That one will fail By the screams and terrors By the screams and terrors There is nothing left A mere shadow When adrenaline runs dry There is nothing there An empty prop When adrenaline runs dry |

In my private demonology Those who fear** us now The sons of wishes The bastard child of dream Enemies of hope Let it be gone It's all pretend Mind matters, matters not Never again In perfect clarity See the day in childlike vision Where does it lead from here On without that guidance Disaster Role model without a part Our search is wider Cast off those wide-eyed hopes and dreams Mind matters, matters not No need to see you there The path we made is clear Just stay ahead of me This is not for me to see Mind matters, matters not This time a prayer onto nothing Project again Direct oppose to action All across the board Shortcoming close to call Let it be gone It's all pretend Mind matters, matters not |

It's all this reeking ego craves
The sun to never set Why do threads of anger never linger? Why does the ember turn to stone? To where the longing goes In with the sins of old A face of nothing, to never see As blind as free Everything I want Is in at the end of this Everything I need Will be at the end of me My negation How will you know my name And sense the danger coming? My negation How can you see my face? What's to become of me? The art of reduction Stripped down through What seems defendable Scaled to bare revisions To stop making sense Levelling pillars of towering fear Rational instincts and insight to spare End of falseness, end of grace Everything I fear Is in this failing Nothing of what I am Is in this end My negation How will you know my name And sense the danger coming? My negation How can you see my face? What's to become of me? How will you know my name? |

Insufficient facts
Make up for a frail foundation Breeding the obscene For the opinion Customized Is the insight null and substance void upon these wheels Our world will roll Let it be decided Let it be decided who will take the blame Another soul to drain What is it that we see? What is it that we see? One thought bringing it down Original sinners One thought bringing it down Switch it off Has it come to this? Enjoying things by proxy Live through others Die just like the rest We all end up screaming A little louder To cover up Another piece of silence Just scream a little louder Punch another hole through media Turn it off One thought bringing it down Original sinners One thought bringing it down Switch it off Brace for impact To once a greater vision Our lives now stand to fall Tyranny of fear A stranglehold on us Stronger day by day It's time to turn it off One thought bringing it down Original sinners One thought bringing it down Switch it off Switch it off |

Make enemies of truth and reason
In that a rage is born Start out a promise and a venture Where direction was never the goal How does it feel To run out of nothing Where do you go When you run out? Never you mind The grand perspective Other forces kept at bay As you narrow the field of vision To retain a sense of control Your focus will remain unfixed In the haze of a world unhinged Create a sense of purpose Around which you base your faith The doubt that haunts your skin An itch that will linger on Forever How does it feel To run out of nothing Where do you go When you run out? You wave off Critique as an offender Never question Where your motives lie As a part of the greatest fable The beast all had forgotten Instincts in a dead end rampage Destruction as a saving grace You run out of nothing How does it feel To run out of nothing Where do you go When you run out? How does it feel To run out of nothing Where do you go? Where do you go? |

Riddled by the trappings
Of words that makes the edges blur Here on the outskirts Of sincerity and pride Stretched as far as words can reach By the lure of higher meaning There's something out there Lost behind the power lines It's all the same to me It's all the same to me Lost all faith in promises And deadlines closing in Tired of deciphering the wayward Stands of truth I don't care 'Cause I can't feel I don't know Anymore Sure we've had a good run With vowels, nouns and letters But within its very nature The ability to distort There's nothing in the words I hear That makes me want to take a stand It has gone on for far too long I chose to disengage It's all the same to me It's all the same to me The ends of our conditioning To swallow, take and like it Rather keep me in the dark Than look me in the eye I don't care 'Cause I can't feel I don't know Anymore It's all these same things pulling us down To senses gone I cheer It's all these same things making us blind There's nothing here for me Hear it coming Heading for you now I can't even stand the tone of arrogance And denial on display Here you are listless Left for deaf Thinking about what standards we set In times of weary tongues And ears that hear no end to it Unwilling or unable The difference left for times Judgement It's all the same to me It's all the same to me It passes on from wicked mouths As victim takes on another role New bold oppressor Our teacher's product Now stands tall I don't care 'Cause I can't feel I don't know Anymore It's all these same things pulling us down To senses gone I cheer It's all these same things making us blind There's nothing here for me Hear it coming Heading for you now Hear |

Beyond the focus and the grander ideas One microcosmos in this wretched piece of hell Distant memories of what empathy we felt No revolution in what they must overthrow In on a secret we all know The need that is our enemy I don't even want to see you Doing all the same things as me Don't ever let this be you Knowing what it is that drives me It's all in the future Said with one foot in the grave All in the plan of what we never could achieve No satisfaction We excuse ourselves from progress by post-altering our motives Stories set to match whatever beat that drives the impulse Whatever tune that carries through What's in a soul that rattles empty In this one reality, too few Our reach is never wider than the depth of what we grasp A vicious curse on all that we partake in/side the conflict Where no one is the wiser A space invaded A face evaded My space invaded Selfish dosn't begin to cover the sense In this utopia of one to escape the argument To put another filter on |

Turn of the century lies Not within the others Turn on the wretchful eye The blindness ends tonight Shelter for the shattered In unison we strive Dare to disassociate And cut the blinds that tie Abstractualize further To the ends of fact and foe Will it out of meaning As silence speaks the truth I want to hear you scream I want to see you stand Atop the Pantheon of fiction and your failure Grasping for a hiding place Among indifferent stones A brief reflection It sets the soul apart No selection It tears our world apart These walls are protecting us Burn them to the ground This haven of refuge Burn it to the ground So smudge the lens a little Muffle the voice Phase out of sound a while And let it go Citizens of choice In a twilight world of your design Left to our devices We stumble on I want to hear you scream I want to hear you scream Burn it to the ground No firewall will save you Burn it to the ground Take me to the keep And bare the darkest void Thousandfold the agony Of silenced screams alone Tune right out of static Exorcise the dark How else can we move on I want to hear you scream I want to see you die |

Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence Your silence for your confidence Do you hear what I hear? Doors are slamming shut Limit your imagination, keep you where they must Do you feel what I feel? Bittering distress Who decides what you express? Do you take what I take? Endurance is the word Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd Doesn't matter what you see Or into it what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say Independence limited Freedom of choice is made for you my friend Freedom of speech is words that they will bend Freedom with their exception Do you fear what I fear? Living properly Truths to you are lies to me Do you choose what I choose? More alternatives Energy derives from both the plus and negative Do you need what I need? Boundaries overthrown Look inside, to each his own Do you trust what I trust? Me, myself, and I Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie Doesn't matter what you see Or into it what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say Independence limited Freedom of choice is made for you my friend Freedom of speech is words that they will bend Freedom with their exception Do you know what I know? Your money and your wealth Your silent just to hear yourself Do you want what I want? Desire not a thing I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring Doesn't matter what you see Or into it what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say Independence limited Freedom of choice is made for you my friend Freedom of speech is words that they will bend Freedom no longer frees you Doesn't matter what you see Or into it what you read You can do it your own way If it's done just how I say |

waiting for [x2] the signs to bring the first to sing felt inbetween these fears set to unknown tunes so tempt these fragile fiends a grace gone dark you'll never know never feel never taste the depths of your defeat break into the hearts and minds of man never one to tell [x2] sucking on a lie that never ends found at loss for words locking on [x2] to faith gone bad sweet touch of sin not in the sleight of hand can facts be lost never understate your case deny our weight there never is there never was there can never be a break from binding chains break into the hearts and minds of man never one to tell sucking on a lie that never ends found at loss for words |

wrestled on its back the ego showed his face charged up, recieving came out knowing hopeless intrusion where nothing can be found strewn, the seeds were wasted on the innocent in awe fruitless connection in the ripeness of his age drawn and thrust in anger the dagger once again will fail it's over if nothing comes along it's over for you so in denial stand where shame is not and unto others fall the blame, the guilt, the others fault come on now- scratch and claw with all your strength take on the wildest bull in the horde come burn them fingers fast and take back what they owe return the safety where there was none... |

scattered throughout now indefinite form willed to find strangers in the wickedest state when it comes upon you my friend fear not - it makes us men hidden within ourselves now lured into hiding out of sight creation in purity we don't need no host suck it in it waits for noone take it down the coming of descent fiery changeling reddened and frail perspire to save it the remnant of this game if it launches again today will our lives begin again turning away from tides of lust stronger return against all odds suck it in it waits for noone take it down the coming of descent raised to take stand to separate grace shown in the wake of new light seeing it will break the flavour of aquired taste another boundary yet to face witness the revolution the fabric of essence come again * |

"Scars torn open Bondaged slave Eating my wrists" A thrust that numbs the pain Secondary now the instinct Thrust beyond control Chaotc Are the tracks before me Barren are the ones behind Carried in a cage controlling Driven Driven on, Driven in Headlong onto the breach Driven on, Driven in Taken to the extreme Headlong onto the breach Pumping fast the race is on furious in striving The Feast of burden begins The Feast of burden begins Driven on, Driven in Taken to the extreme Headlong onto the breach Driven on, Driven in Headlong onto the breach "The enslaving force Thrown ahead Unrelenting" Faithfully holding fast Steaming ahead unknowing Careless again it seems Oblivious to the pressure The Feast of burden begins The Feast of burden begins |

and although it can be argued whether time will ever come to end there is an overcoming sense of failing if you never can see the end in the giving of our hope eternal we stumble blindly and forget the way is there ever time for answers when the world comes tumbling down all along we keep staring at the sun closing our minds saying we're the ones all along we keep staring at the sun blind to see it when the day will come and even if in days of wonders a glance that may stray from the fold cast aside in the spirit of ignorance a mere nuisance when it?s time to pay come undone now the strive and the passion giving under to the forces that be can you even think of questions when the world comes tumbling down we shut our eyes and turn away all along we keep staring at the sun closing our minds saying we're the ones all along we keep staring at the sun blind to see it when the day will come |

cowardice, this chain of events gather and plot the ensnaring of me (ensnaring) gone now the sense of lust is there a cost for the reckless excess? taken in the growth and trust retalitory strike at the weakest spot raked away the remains of my fall that laid scattered cross plains of regret humble in defence of the wicked run down, naked and blind merciless, the onslaught of demands get in line for the numbning i won't make a stand redeemer of the slavery reconcile with the carefree and content ensnarer, caretaker lead not these the frail into battle again crossing out the ramblings of others tired of the same old refrain knowing this will all be corrected torn down, wasted and lost i can't take it anymore 'cause i am rundown can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong tired and rundown spat it out the foolish lines you fed it holds a place in the civilized mind forcefed, the turn of our venturesome quest being rundown as we seek the day this was lost all that you see all that'll be rundown |

what we always fear and loathe becomes of us repay the visit of our loss reset the marks again the turning point seems to be holding on sands of ages and the stars above everchanging as the same hearts beat repeating 'til the end seas of slander and the soil we walk everchanging as the same hearts beat it ends up all the same the sail that never knew the wind barren and lost our wrecks these shores will never reach a trek on darker trails let days be done it takes forever |

deeper shades of red descending smear our names, the stains unending turn forgiveness, break the lens distorted crush the infidel and turn about famine in our hearts, bring up the silence louder eradicate the lungs and take us higher these are the wonders at your feet weighed upon a wider scale afraid to see what takes us down sing destruction, sing of unfullfillment search abandoned, let the blood be fevered ridden of the self provided things get easier ignite our minds and let's burn brighter these are the wonders at your feet |

Still alive
all knowing eye beneath your stream of words your rapid stream of words Though none will ever live to share the radiant stream the promised hues from which your picture fell Re-seal the components from atom hearts Revert, non-owner of worlds As uncommunication becomes the manifest our alien, architectural skeletons in unison collapse Death rode these silent caravans and steered them to the ?(o/a)?im of the world. Their diaries and withered letters all devoted to the art of dying The enterprise, academy the crafts held in our hands all devoted to the art of dying No room to arrange the final row of masks drenched in chameleon-ink for the grand charade The tongues that burn in you the slowly altered language that colonised your heartland advanced through broken doors And they still believe in you They seem to see so many things booked in your pestilent eye Your stale lids, your iris punctured by tongues licking a lie The enterprise, wolvenlore the cursed seed of man plunged through the tunnels of uncreation We reach out to move the landmark, hands seeping down from the chronicles of time The quill now blunt the scribe devoured |

Young girl so sweet
and once so innocent Your life so brutal, true emotions suppressed You scream, but he won't hear a word till he's had his away Victim of the cruelest kind of love Against his urges there's no defence The one who gave you life stole your innocence You want to be free at any cost but you're chained by the shame and everything seems to be lost Bringer of Torture Bringer of Torture You're not afraid of dying Nothing could be worse than this life You're terrified of the pain, the pain that returns with the night With the night! Bringer of Torture Bringer of Torture Bringer of Torture Insanity and terror, hand and hand 'till childhood dreams comes to an end The situation, so vile and insane, Will never be over, he's coming back again, again and again Bringer of Torture |

With each daring new concept
creation and form one fragment of shelter from heaven be torn The bleeding through barriers shine of redemption The taste of renewal let art once again be a weapon The whim of the forger is theft from the flow the hatchet now redden with creation's blood Constant is forever I am the creation so bold in design The errors of one thousand minds bleed out through a world gone blind This is the magic that a name would stain. |

For thou sweepst me
in thy ribe if guill with garments forged in spiteful steel No tainted pride shall make conviction cease None shall be unto thee proven worthy of thy outmost fear Let alone the silent longing instinct shun the ones you dear As the hunter boldly stalks his prey intoxicated Conviction reigns where truth might sway intimidated Silence the bore Shun the ones you dear The hunt is over so the feast begins What feast is enduring when all is said and done Everchange of hearts The hunter's reason fail The hunt is treason The hunt is over so the feast begins Why search for endurance when all is said and done? |

Enter Suicidal Angels; How hungry we've become; like animals naked in shame Fed with the hooves of apocalypse that galloped down, disordered worlds behind From word to a word I was led to a word that spanned over cultures in rage Crimson masses, sleeped in decadence holding our tongues to the thirsty sun So, it the future still open? Then enter, hornet, from our hive-dark hearts to draw down the end from within We need not the horns that emanate from our warty, haunted bodies severed and numbered they are Nihilist, Hedon the priceless art of their lives Sorrow is a wing laid atop their heads. skin deep, we carve our immeasurable sorrow in the fold of your shivering arms Hedon, Your chindren wild and filled with death # Jupiter in our unforgiving eves: a pandemonium of bodies and gold Eager, as a part of your face and the sickness attached to your skin (stone) as the wine-rush, changing from androgynous wombs to open free the lid of pain # Hedon, rinsed in post-human shadows a monument scorned by the teeth of time Stale-faced keeper of secrets, loaded with implosive fire the whore that carried the apostle to the mating point on the graves of giants We look at you, afraid to see what we really are. |

Gently hold our heads gently hold our heads on high Aimless time in fear new hide overthrow the plan confusion lies in all my words mad is the soul We barricade ourselves in holes of temperament this is the dawning of a new age A heart that beats the wrong way insanity's crescendo Windcolour - second sight a touch of silence and the violence of dark Illusion span - the aroma of time shadowlife and the scent of nothingness Infinite fall of instinct order of one spells deceit Infinite lack of trust order of one obsolete Oh escaping time is all we lost ahead? When it's found, can judgement make amends? From force-fed impressions let us mortify the mind each soul to violate each instinct to be rendered false Torn asunder be the conventional forms and frames now for the blood of heaven Unlearn and the cleansing comes Fell a tremor in the pillars of the senses Cursed victim of a distance near The first dreams - the clearest vision Aimlessly steer towards our night we belong to thee Oh dearest bliss, unnerving silence entangled within Dimly begotten in clarity found virginlike tears for impurity bound Beseech he who darken the stars and the sky to greet now this vision an emerald dawn Empty the sun - carve out the wind Insanity's crescendo tear out the blinded eye Lament of thunder - take comfort in fear lightning veins in crude exterior Voice the oppression - voice the hypocrisy lay down the law that made instince fall Escape now and revert this cleansing rebirth torn asunder be Affect me not; darkened vision insanity's crescendo Grimly tread the footsteps torn rebellious stand the seeker tall The thorn of insanity's hand take this darkened vision from my sight Nailed to the image of ignorance Each soul to violate for the blood of heaven |

Born of laughter
strangled by sin No remorse mistreat the soul again No features the blur of things denied No return the cross to bear is my own Just one sip and life returns Razorfever The pollution of your narrow perception Read into the lines of men's work Degeneration: let the truth be known Numb the pain with the liquid of fire Razorfever burns Born a desperation's child admist the last descent Fierce as that of angel's wrath to lay the soul to rest Just one sip Just one more Just one and so my world can be restored. |
