1. Rivalry of Phantoms
The tide of the substances
Furious force, a stunning course
A war unbroken
It's the coil of the combining ends
The dawn of the random fall
I summon the winter, the autumns son
The way of those, the way of mine
I summon the winds, the rage of storms
My way is for those, the sinner?s kind
Damnation groan, hear the call
The tide of the substance, spins in the core
Like a furious force kept stunning beyond
It's the coil of the combining ends
The dawn of the random fall
I summon the rivers the ocean?s son
The way of those the way of mine
I summon the motion, the presence of time
My way is for those, the sinners kind
Beware the sight of those
Those who were my sight
Beware the hate of those
Who rivals as the storms
Who storms as rivals
At the plains, in the havoc
The rivalry of phantoms
The erosion is my war, die you may
The wind i my passion. Utterly you weep
The rivers are my blood, drown you may
The wind is my passion, the passion to fight
2. The Presence Is Ominous
Prior to the forces of primacy
Concealed by the essence, the profane
Withdraws in manners of erosion
Spine of the universal conflicts
Swept towards a new domain
Reversed in time, proceed in time
Swallowed by dimensions
Swallowed by the flames
I see fear so clear in the eyes
The eyes that burn by sight
I see fear so clear when you die
The cries that torches swept by
I am yet to see the good victorious
Thunder tamed by silence
I am yet to see the man victorious
Death tamed by life
Swept towards a new domain
Reversed in time, proceed in time
Swallowing dimensions
Swallowing the flames
I see fear so clear in the eyes
The eyes that burns by sight
I see fear so clear when you die
Spine of the universal comfilcts
As the motion of winds and oceans
I am on the isle of existence,
the mountains at my trail
I am prepared to die,
when the faith comes around to fail
Swept towards a new domain
Reversed in time, proceed in time
Swallowing dimensions
Swallowing the flames
I see fear so clear in the eyes
The eyes that burns by sight
I see fear so clear when you die
3. Ruins of the Future
Upon the ruins of the future
I climbed to behold
A distance so pale
An existence so cold
Resembling the views
These angels of damnation
As my mind came and flew
Upon the ruins of future
I stood to be told
That the future will fail
Upon the hands that fold
At the edge of the horizon
I saw the harmony of havoc
The path of the marauders
Transient yet tremendous
Upon the failure, denial of token
Upon the speech, in my tongue spoken
The sign, the pulse that protrude
The resound, the return
The sequence that conclude, the fall of man
Upon the ruins of the future
I climbed to behold
A distance so pale
An existence so cold
Resembling the views
These angels of damnation
As my mind came and flew
Upon the ruins of the future
I settled to be bold
When the downfall arises, as I am told
The denomination of the grandiose demise
Granted as the imious impetus
Upon the failure, denial of token
Upon the speech, in my tongue spoken
Upon the ruins of the future
I settled to be bold
When the downfall arises, as I am told
4. Colossus
From out of static time has grown
Existence formed by substance unknown
Prelude to matter, shift of disorder
Completion of bonds between chaos and order
The era of seasons, the essence of being
The continuous process awakens the living
Absorber of every flickering sun
Arranging the pieces to vivid perfection
The stream of mortality flows uncontrolled
A boundless downward spiral to prospective void
Existence takes its toll, extinction unfolds
The Colossus falls back from it?s treshold
The cosmic grip so tight. Heed the celestial call
The rise, the voyage, the fall- tangled womb of mortal soil
Universal key of inception, pulled out of the grind
The growing seed of creation and time
Complex fusion, the bond of four- the nature?s core
Universal ritual, aesthetic beauty adored
The pendulum upholds the carnal deceit
Eternal, endless, indefinite
The paradox, render and the merge is complete
Nothing but the process is infinite
Nothing but the process is infinite
Eternal, endless, indefinite
5. Inner Landscape
Incorporation
Analysis
Space/time, travel, silence, and freedom
Combinations
Flash back - fast forward
Repetition and rearrangement
Internal/external
Fragmentation
6. Invincible
I was born a fragment of future
Raised by the dawn of existnece
I grew as one with the elements
Shown the cause of extinction
I have seen worlds bloom to explode
And horizons flush into voids of fire and ice
I have seen worlds explode to bloom
The dawn, the existence and the fall
I was raised by the dawn of existence
Breathing the fire of every sun
I was born a fragment of future
Raised by the dawn of existence
I turned grey in the storm shadows
Showing the cause of extinction
The substance of invicible motion
is invincible as the substance in motion
We rise again as you fall
I have seen life extinct to bloom
7. Icon Dreams
The energy of the wisdom haze
Rinses the tide as a blend of fire
Upon the shores, where fires blaze
The pulse of time, shades of light
Plains stroked by the slumber sleep
Mountains embraced by rafting time
Swept into a new horizon
The source of life, the course at sight
Rise into a liquid dream
Where horizons burn, burn till dawn
My domain
Where horizons burn, burn till dawn
Rise into a liquid dream
Where the mountains groan, groans till dawn
The energy of the wisdom haze
Rinses the tide as a blend of fire
Upon the shores, where fires blaze
The pulse of time shades of light
8. Genesis Torn
Temptation impales the vulnerable
Transforming the breed as it strains to erase
Cleansing the body and perfecting the bliss
Falling further into its hypnosis
Absurd scenery of strenght and endurance
The mundane edeavours for the perfect resistance
Evolution axis bent. Manipulation results
Contrast condemns and the answer insults
Genesis torn
Enigma solved
Utopia found
Euphoria born
Expanding origin stagnates at last
Bows down in unity when paradise is lost
Dirt grows in catharsis - raise of the inbred
Totality rejects the efforts of the misled
Genesis torn
Enigma solved
Utopia found
Euphoria born
Extinction embraces the crippled presence
Altered away from the salvaging renaissance
9. Embers
10. Revolt
I fed the fire with my flesh and desire
Spilt the blood upon existence
Tracing trails, a furious tail
Barely touching the mirror of reality
The deformation of what depression denote
A spiritual fusion, drown in conclusions
Derail the path, the course that...
The solar solace within the hideous
Here upon the heralds of dawn
The dawn of eternity
A northern notability
Revoke the reviavl of revolt
Burn the treason, the trinity
Yearn the heat of the fire
Face yesterdays tomorrow
The heralds of the past
The winds of a history cast
The profound spiritual fusion
Glimpse inward to my world
A fragment of fire, hordes of imagery
An illumination of all illustrations
The solar solace within the hideous
Here upon the heralds of dawn
The dawn of eternity
A northern notability
Barely touching the mirror of reality
The deformation of what depression denote
A spiritual fusion, drown in conclusions
Derail the path, the course that...
I fed the fire with my flesh and desire
Spilt the blood upon existence
Tracing trails, a furious tail
To the centre of chaos
Burn the treason, the trinity
Yearn the heat of the fire
Face yesterdays tomorrow
The heralds of the past
The winds of a history cast
The profound spiritual fusion
Glimpse inward to my world
