1. Iconic Demise
2. Perverse Visions
3. Carry the Flame
1. Iconic Demise
Iconic Demise
Music and Lyrics by Eric Burnet
Enter the circle, psychosis will pull you in
Obey the dictator, (use) violence to worship him
Purging the unfaithful, he purifies
Worthy of reverence, self-deified
Crushing the resistance in mockery
Establishing himself as divinity
Weakling, he can see through you
Hiding only peaks his anger
Face him, embrace redemption or endure his worse chastisement
In time, his congregation poison themselves into apathy
Crawling through mires of madness
Dragging down their chosen savior
Rotting in disgrace the vanguard disintegrate
Trapping their hero in the worlds they helped create
Powerless to descend from the pedestal
Condemned for his judgments and denials
Summed up to a negative subsistence
Worthless to the core for his offences
2. Perverse Visions
Perverse Visions
Muisc by Daryl Brunetti Lyrics by Eric Burnet
Image drowning
Sense of being
Perverse visions
Tortured women
Children poisoned
By their parents
Absorb and cease thought
You are not alone
Nothing (left) to create
You’ve seen it all
Information, aberration
Human nature
Humans? Nature?
Download, project, forget
Turn away from what we have created
Malformation, transmutation
Species defying creation
Evolution following a path of total self-destruction
Rewind and relive
Force-fed your own mind
Defy temptation
To define your life
Meaning pervades
Symbols invade
A mind blossomed
With no bottom
3. Carry the Flame
Carry the Flame
Music by Daryl Brunetti Lyrics by Eric Burnet
Find West by the Sun
Find a way to carry on
Southern cross, North Star
Beware of what you are
Tears in full waters
Land recedes
Lives taken by the storm
Remainder of all you own
Split faith and broken homes
Die for the weak or carry on alone?
Primal nature takes hold, defend or sacrifice
As you wade through the blood of your foes, another kill to live
Is our intellect what makes us men? Or is it our souls?
Behold our false Gods
Discriminate
Chosen children
Dying slowly
Abandonment
Best way to cut loss
Let the remains rot
Compost for re-growth
How many of us will carry the flame?
Will we see a new light at the end of this tunnel?
Or will we suffer and kill only to see that everything has stayed the same?
