"Deprivation In Silence" In a cold desolate palace I lay myself to rest; white eyes and blank stare Comfortably numb and laid to waste I leave behind the atrocities of this place With no hope to walk on my own I fight for my chance to bring the Earth's survival As the wind picks up, I'm found without shelter Night falls, we cry helter skelter Bodies lain cold on the floor With thine eyes as dark as war Hearts will beat to the pulse of the thunder As the soldiers draw near their plunder Recollections of time await in the atmosphere I repress this despondency I remember the life before deception Before my decay I repress this disposition of myself when harvesting my soul White eyes and blank stare In a cold desolate palace I leave behind the atrocities of this place Comfortably numb and laid to waste With no hope to walk on my own I fight for my chance to bring the Earth's survival As the wind picks up, I'm found without shelter Night falls, we cry helter skelter Bodies lain cold on the floor With thine eyes as dark as war Hearts beat to the pulse of the thunder As the soldiers draw near their plunder Recollections of time await in the atmosphere I repress this despondency I remember the life before deception Before my decay I repress this disposition of myself when harvesting my soul Can we escape who we've become Our form has beaten us dry As I gaze upon this darkened story Every step that I take crumbles beneath my feet I want to stay, but this death is breath taking I'll remove myself when I remove the earth Dare hear me say, I believe in silence In the full moon - arising I believe in life, the death of all mankind Will I become who I hate? Or will I rise above it all Will I torture myself with reminisce Or will I open my eyes Until these demons of time confide in worldly silence With our last breath, we breathe your deception

"Through Eyes Of Disgust" You preach forgiveness, but your words don't mean a thing Behind the pulpit you provide false hope for the masses This is not your kingdom, but your demise Who made you king of the world I've had enough of your malice and lies We are the kings and queens of our own life We are the kings and queens of our own life Not a pawn, nor a soldier in your army Victimized, we are the satire within this republic We are the kings and queens of our own life With a crooked smile, and the dagger in your heart You know nothing of sacrifice With eyes blind and lips stitched You know nothing of hope We will climb to the top, and watch your kingdom crumble Materialistic values are your only god Your eyes feed on the weak and helpless We can see it in the distance We'll watch this fucker burn We'll see you standing there, the cross on your rotting chest A cult of humanity, a cult of the possessed Messages of light, disguise the greed and deceit Forsaken by lust, we see now through eyes of disgust We are the kings and queens of our own life Unified, no falsehoods left to see through your own eyes We are the kings and queens

"Monolithic Mastication" Full moon arises, Village overthrown to the end we all foresee Apocalyptic demise, wherein lies, endless treachery Prophecies foretold, their minds misplace! The omens of love and death, between exile and hate Epic collision The gnashing of teeth Vigilant militants Brutal forces meet New forceful nature, foremost technologies intrude A cranial delicacy, the gruesome loot With a heart full of desire, and a mind corroded from deceit Creating a void of perpetration, until they were... Ripped apart limb from limb, The ancient ones dethroned Left behind, questions unanswered Pathways reversed, unknown The reign of controlled disaster, Within the lives of the unseen A generation of unsound immolation, controlled by what they see Bound with the fire of a link to all unknown. Terrorizing the skies on high, the golden chariot reigns its throne... Natural selection Cannibal minds, bound with the fire All former life, they masticate True monolithic spectacle Ripped apart limb from limb Controlled by what they see

"Born In The Minds Of Men" Beneath the wretched fabrics of time Lies a will for life Clouded is my vision, for I cannot see the path The path to liberation, it lies beneath my feet I have seen the end of days! Prophesied by mortal minds as life decays Do not compare me to this dejected scum I've walked on holy land to purify my temple Beneath the wretched fabrics of time, lies a will for life Clouded is my judgment, I cannot see the path I can't take heed to words Because they're spoken to me By my father figures Dig deep to find myself
6.
"Redeemer Of Death" Run and hide Time inhales every breath that I have to take Blasphemy! Many times before Since when did we believe in anything We are the forgotten ones United we stand directed we will fall, since when did we believe in anyone We will watch over your dead dreams, we will listen to all your cries Grave robber! With not a sense of regret! I've not earned my place in time, through the heart of man I cannot see, this veil it covers me, Time will tell, when earth discovers me I cannot see I cannot see Open your eyes to the things unseen No matter what the cost ill live on through this dream My mind is open and my sight is sealed shut The end is near, the end is here

"Rebuilding The Ancients" Traitor! You know nothing The ancients will rise again Your blood will be on my hands, as I spit in your face Judgment has come, so learn your final resting place What's left to rebuild the ancients Mother it's time, rain down your fire on this worthless shrine Such a waste of space We are the eternal ones, you are the disgrace One winged Angel I will tear this world apart, no one can hear your cries You're just another pawn, give in to my desire You'll find there is no other way, there is no way The weight of your lifeless body, show's sure sign of rejoice But I will not be happy, until every part of you is dead Traitor You know nothing The ancients will rise again Your blood will be on my hands, as I spit in your face Judgment has come So learn your final resting place

"Blood Monuments" Daggers from the mouths of liars You've got your tongue tied yet again Moral behaviors are an unknown concept Who do you think will care when you're dead Cognitive apathy for the sake of revenge We destroy ourselves willingly, until we reach the end When we die we'll have a smile on our face, knowing your death Was included with your disgrace With motives intact your intentins are clear We see right through all of your fear Slowly bleeding out, momentary satisfaction Till the blade falls your blood will be a monument I can't breathe! I can't see Give me hope! Give me life Don't break this covenant When the universe aligns That's when we'll understand This black hole, has destroyed The rebuilding process has begun Holding onto hope when hope isn't even there I'll fucking find you, and i'll make that last breath your worst The only thing you'll see when those eyes close, is the face that brought death upon you all

"Escaping Existence" All alone I am humbled by death The mere thought of escaping existence brings peace to my mind Gasp for air as the blood fills my lungs I have gone, but my soul breathes again I Close my eyes and drift away An entire universe in such a small space Somewhere, I know I must find peace Somewhere, I know I must find me My heart fell right through the floor Nothing feels close to the same anymore Is this a dream? Will I ever wake up Your name engraved on my heart Wake me up from this Wake me up, from this nightmare Let me hear your voice, let me see your face again Every night I look to the sky I wonder if you hear me Every night I cry out, to the sky Hoping you will respond Though there's loss We can be assured Time heals all That's the natural order I know I'll see you when my days are done I know you'll be smiling at the end I know you're gone, but I still feel you in my heart The world has torn us apart, but through divine order.. We are connected Choices made are out of our hands Left with nothing but to wash the guilt Hand in hand with acceptance
