Departure 03:01
Forever reaching, in chrysalis The west wind Embracing me Despite the fear that we’re feeling We set sail to meet the breaking dawn I swear That this is not forever
2.
Demur 03:49
Each spoken word, embellished over time You were not meant to be what you are now Each told lie becomes another truth You realize that the pressure is building up A carefully constructed myth, rupturing Without foundations, destined to cave in I incite the fire in the hearts of the masses I bestow upon them sight So that they may finally see Your cracked mask locked on festering thoughts A voice so loud To drown the silence in your chest I only hear your faint whisper A soft hush of admittance The whole world will finally see You are just another deceiver with the face of a leader The whole world will finally see The wretched hands that guided them The manufactured truth, withered over time You were not meant to be what you are now Built on delusions, destined to cave in The walls are coming down Brace yourself You have lost your hold The masses answered the call Empty words won’t save you now I’ll stare into your false eyes And watch how the life in them dies
3.
Obstructions 02:49
You can never be on the top of the world its weight is holding you down Disregard everything, time to push forward (Cast aside all these obstructions and sever the ties You will have to give meaning to your own life) You will never scale these walls with all of these burdens chained to your neck Disregard everything and everyone Or I swear I’ll break your fucking neck
4.
Reaching 05:10
You find yourself on your knees again Withered hands lifted to the sky Begging for a sign Sheltered in the wreckage that is your life Wrapped in misery, the spirit is broken. Drowning in defeat Warmth is only a distant memory Weighted down and burned out Your aspirations, all ground to dust Hidden behind a mask of circumstance Passion will stir again, In blood that flows slowly These paths you have tread in vain, Are lessons well learnt Your youth may have flown, But there is more to you than you know Restore what you have lost Believe me when I say, We have all been there, We are seeking We are searching We are seeking Your life is neither empty nor worthless Even though Fate has again and again, trodden over your existence What matters is to accept the inevitable Take in all the sweetness and the bitterness and accept full responsibility for it all Life is a long, endless night Unbearable If not for the occasional sparkle of light, the glimmer of hope The Sudden brightness and warmth Comforting and wonderful Justifying the years of darkness Are you ready to live again? Climb from this wreckage to meet the rising sun The night stretches out before us Endlessly

Moirai 04:07
This structure is a misconception With origins rooted so deep, we lost sight of the point of inception Your life becomes another lie Architects behind hidden walls define every step between earth and sky Your reality is tearing at its seams Break the chains that bind you to this cage Sever lifelines and feel What it means to be free Every choice and consequence will belong to you (to you) You will become the master of your fate Listen, you who sit nearest to the thrones of creators and liars, weaving, inescapable devices for every kind beyond counting. We sever the strings We will no longer be bound The scales have tipped The Moirai have fallen I’ll bring you their heads And they’ll call me the sisters’ SLAUGTHER (My Life will be my own) Pass the torch on… (My Path will be my own) Pass the torch on… (My Truth will be my own) Pass the torch on… (My end will be my own) Atrophos I will not be subdued
6.
Transcend 05:37
Life is cruel I have seen how you were torn apart by circumstance There is no reason in nature Don’t tremble nor cower We all have the potential to Ascend beyond this helpless state Let fortune play its ruthless game if only for a moment We can be stronger than nature and fate, if only for a moment We can conquer our innate fear And when the black depths are silent, And the grey skies are still. We can rise to meet the odds We can be gods Stretch out a commanding hand and create Leave this material plane But It hurts, to walk this road alone Death and fortune have taken their heavy toll And when the black depths are silent, And the grey skies are still I swear I will sing this song This melody you have become Without fear But with determination We live (We cannot evade life's course, but we can strengthen ourselves to be superior to fortune to look unflinchingly upon the most painful things Out of sounds, words, we construct purpose, songs full of meaning, consolation and goodness, more beautiful and enduring than the grim sport of fortune and destiny )

Of Humanity 05:59
Burn my eyes, Exhausted by senseless motions. The fires all died out Left to here to witness Inert I can only look upon these husks bleeding in desolation Animosity has become the air that we breathe Every notion of sanity is laid to rest Gather around the pyre Cast aside the world with me, I have seen humanity The true face of man I have seen the faces of demons and fiends Man has bled dry the sky And listen to the tale of a shattered son Found crawling through a distant semblance of life A man, a shade Lost all he held dear Staring through the eyes of a bitter soul They took away my hopes, my dreams, my ghost and my words Driven into madness, I have lost all control Memories etched into my skin, steel married to my flesh I breath bitter air Contempt is born, Hatred forms purpose This is what I had to become Can you see the misery lingering in the empty shell The twisted pain of living Anger, unwilling to subside Forgive me for what I have become Can you see the heartbreak written in that wretched face Love torn violently from his life From this life
8.
To The Void 03:30
Another failed attempt, to understand the gravity of this situation My mind is lost on complexity beyond grasp Untangle knots, retrace steps and dissect the dialogue Breathe in every disappointment You reached out to me The sun behind grey sky Warmth in a winter night The trails still linger in the room Echoes softly resonate What remains? A lost soul yearning for an end This cannot be what was meant for us The trails still linger And you have made your final attempt The shards of a broken bond grace the barren floor An urge to be complete takes over Deep wounds grace open hands A shattered mirror, Reflecting back at me A broken man This was always meant for me This is destiny Miles down this beaten path Staring down a bottomless abyss Gaze fixed, At peace with my disbelief Render me to the void The one place I belong Liberated of all hindrances Separated from this world No one can save me now I am too far gone I am too far gone
9.
Renascent 03:27
At last I have reached my journey’s end This is where my dearest dreams have ranged The solace my restless soul has yearned to hear the universe and all of existence in its innate harmony. In this vastness, enveloped How could I have been left unchanged? Renewed my vision, Revived my senses I have been reborn I finally see, there is no one to save us from ourselves
10.
Time is coming to an end I witness another new beginning The cycle never ends I am the one, who perceives beyond the veil of time and space Reaching in to the void, where all threads unfold Behold the pattern, the perfect symmetry Walking the fault line between possibility and reality Under a scorching desert sun, The pattern unravels before me I witness how all things move Dancing to the cadence of time The spectral lines align The truth you know is a lie I am less than a god More than a man I am renascent Can I change the outcome? Can I alter this state? I am more than a man Can I change the outcome? Which path to take? It all unravels in my wake You will bleed Efforts to change the way are broken You will suffer Cannot stop what you have started It is like I lived a billion lives, all at once An experience that is tearing me apart Nothing you can comprehend (you’ll never understand) Raging in denial against my inner self Amidst infinity, endless movement Aware of the universe, It takes everything to remain whole I am the first, the last I am everything Only I will remain
