1. Undoing (Prey on Life)
Prey for the blood red sun
Prey on the life itself
Prey for the blood red sun
Prey on the life itself
2. Iris
Let the light
Be less annoying
Don't expose me like this
I won't lose my way again
As long as it's dark enough to see
Welcome blindness, transparency:
No system of harmony
More accurate than this
Welcome bleakness, disconnection:
No yearning stronger
Than the lust for self-preservation
Let it be only skin deep
Don't expect me to shine
I won't look too deep
As long as it's dark enough to see
Let distractions become illumination
Don't question what you see
I won't toy your patience,
As long as it's dark enough to be
Forgotten, ignored, redundant, adored
Sedated, left instead, or induded, truly dead.
3. Sculpt the Lives
Cold eyes of fire
Talk to me
Stillborn desire
In the air I breathe
In our wanton spirits
I read
Closure,
Nauseating rites
A face and heart I heed
Unprecedented,
In longing
As we soar still higher
As Icarus we'll plunge
In longing manner we'll admire
Into depths all unknown
Soul and purpose set alight
Over barren lands we've flown
In transmission
Morning thrives.
4. Rain
Eyes are bleeding
Scolding heat
Succumbing to the wish-
Not to feel anything at all
Rolling waves of nausea
Seeping through
My mind
Darkest abyss of conscience
Time will swallow
All
Converge upon me
Crushing all I see
Take away my pain
Purifying rain
I am swept away
Skies are gray now
No sun to guide me
The balance of opposites
Through self-annihilation.
5. The Foe Sublime
Feigned
The image of a world unfolds
Deluded, but divine
It sees us mocking gifted grace
A stolen self
Will not succumb
See your face in the mirror
It's your image on a face of another
See your principles
Constantly wither
What is this will but a riddle?
In splendor
We were born again
Renewed and whole,
A chance reborn
Sustenance
We've found
Yet we tear it from our minds
So find a way through these foes
With your tears
Scattered around the wound
It scares us not,
This path's design
Run these demons gone amok
Astray
6. Fourth Sun
7. Crystal Asunder
I see the cadence
Random
But altogether clear
This scorn was never mine
Though it's all that I hold dear
Futile charity
Holy promises
I dream it all away
This consequence is yours to keep
I shun it all away
Stone, buried asunder
I burn
Stale fever running high
Clawing at my skin
The temple
The wraith has had its say
In the bright
Transparent light
Stone, buried asunder
And I define a wanton cold
And I decline the patterns of old
You will never defeat
The cadence sublime
Stone.
Buried.
Asunder
8. Vortex
All that I see can conceive
Your wanton indifference derides
Decisions weren't hard to deceive
How we fooled ourselves
When it died
Searching for a new place to hide
Afar from your vile, naive complacency
Burning
Scathing
In nausea confide
Mocked in sudden ecstacy
In the earth
As in fire
Fundamental laws I repel
The fool I was,
Allured by desire
Corroded and hollow you feel.
All and more you could not see
When the frankness would devour
Though the flesh trouble me
And the world tempt me sore;
The victor I was to be
Ascended, your futile ways I deplore.
9. Monument
[Wound:]
Inching closer
Corrupting my ambition,
Saw your wretched incarnation
[Scorn:]
Growing colder
Retire my frustration,
Turning fire into stone
[Disease:]
Decimation,
Biding time in apathy,
We partake in betrayal
[Monument:]
Invite destruction
Embrace sweet silence
I bury all
My inner sculpture
I hide all
Narcotic sculpture
10. Visionary
Please stay awake
Our defining moment struck
The power faithless
Struck
While we were contemplating visions
Visions ran us by
Immortal
Yet decayed
Oh truth, this bitter lie
Though it burns like hell's fire
Scorched are all but us
Did ambition not prevail
While mortal seasons fled?
We seize this carving,
Here and now
Or the earth shall strike us
Dead
Though it froze like cold destruction
Disarmed are all but us
11. Epidemic
