1. Angels in Traction
Prophetic -
know the day will come to break our fall -
undying -
through the years we stole the strength of fire -
and soon your convoluted truth -
shall come to surface in their eyes -
shall come to surface in the world -
we?ll turn you out at each distortion -
we?ll burn you out of each illusion -
we stalk this ?hallowed? ground in tragedy -
unfit to wear the wings of your elite -
you spit the venom in our faces -
the holy war is joined in progress -
the war is joined -
the war is joined -
as you stare into the face of our truth -
know that we?ll never ingest this infection -
the cage is shaking the joints come loose -
receive the consequence for misdirection -
we stand with backs turned at promises -
we know your walls can?t endure our struggle -
your empty words have gone their distance -
you walk unhallowed barren ground -
unfit to wear these wings -
we spit the venom back -
know the day has come to break our fall -
fear the day we break this f**king fall
2. The Spiral Rises
Believe in nothing -
hand in hand in hand -
betrayed by promise -
this isn?t going as planned -
buy into a dream -
you never had -
consume the addictions -
which merit the mad -
i will not walk in your world -
i will not kneel in your world -
i don?t have a choice in this world -
i don?t have a voice in this world -
and at the end of the day -
i hope you like what you see -
and at the end of the end -
i hope you love what you lived -
material altar -
material fraud -
the latest in fashion -
the latest in god -
our deviant struggle -
may not be heard -
you can erase the prophet -
but never his word -
and at the end of the day -
i know you?ll count what you own -
and at the end of the end -
i know you?ll die alone -
all we need is here -
all we need, within
3. Dissecting Eden
As bliss is torn from hazed eye -
demonic laughter resounds -
in cruel comfort -
the candle breathes its last -
no shades of sorrow -
no parting graces -
a grim enclosure of -
antagonizing memory -
no one must crawl behind these eyes again -
no one must crawl inside to snake this spine -
no one must crawl behind these eyes again -
no one must breathe the serpent sweet caress -
the ruination of the innocent -
the heartless lure of vacant faces -
and still I forge the chain that binds me -
as sure as winter - winter -
the scalpel incises the vibrant skin -
flesh parts -
enraptured as the purge begins -
and for a second the blindness is lifted -
as sure as nightfall -
nightfall -
no shades of sorrow -
no parting graces
4. Autumn Wore a Crown
Among the ashes of the day -
we thrust our hands in search of hope -
white knuckles shift and turn the dust -
to bleed the answers from the soil -
and when we pass along our yesterdays -
to the hands and hearts of those to come -
have we to offer but a memory -
have we to offer them -
the reasons -
the seasons autumn can you still this burning paradise -
yours is the final place -
winter greets our broken dreams with your demise -
can you claim these years forever -
immortal bliss is all I seek of thee -
to live eternal in your shade -
you are the echo of my destiny -
you are the watcher in my sky -
and when we pass into the shadow world -
into the hands and hearts of those we lost -
have we to offer them their memories -
have we to offer them -
the reasons -
the seasons autumn can you still this burning paradise -
yours is the final peace -
winter greets our sullen tears with your demise -
can you claim this age forever -
preservation is at hand -
can we lift the veils of death from our eyes -
resurrection master plan -
live forever under these dark skies -
and when we pass into their memories -
will there be anything but emptiness -
have we the consciousness to reach again -
shall we be ever seeking -
the reasons -
the seasons autumn can you still this burning paradise -
yours is the final gate -
winter our horizons with your righteous lies Can you claim this soul forever -
to wear this crown forever -
to wear this crown forever
5. The Name of the Machine
electric century, chaos born, binary souls -
corridors of static impulse fuel the forge -
vast reserves of hunger never satisfied -
in ecstasy we sate our thirst on white noise -
renewal of mankind impends -
we cast off the weight of our flesh -
adrift in the ocean of light -
selfless and satisfied -
cast off the weight of our flesh -
cast off the weight of our sanity -
castrate your neighbor in the need to feed -
gluttonous vampiric entity -
mass upgrade, product of oppression -
a grand grim destruction of value -
renewal of mankind inflicts -
we cast off the weight of our skin -
adrift in the ocean of One -
selfless and satisfied -
cast off the weight of our flesh -
cast off the weight of our sanity -
for One - electric century -
we cast off the weight of the world -
existence in streams of sound -
set course through myriad galaxies -
to seek the new feeding ground
6. Execution Masque
blades of iron raze the fields in ignorance -
drawing deep the blood from earthly veins -
withering the springs of richness deep within -
leaving barren fertile gardens of delight -
gardens of delight -
sever the spirits from the earth -
cut free the tethers from our hearts -
we wear the execution mask -
as we plunge headlong towards the dark -
headlong towards the dark -
unbind the spirits from the earth -
let free the wicked in our hearts -
we wear the execution mask -
as we plunge headlong towards the dark -
premonition man?s destruction rising high -
evolution coming to a full collapse -
fragile balance shattered in the wake of greed -
ashen gardens blackening we burn the seed -
raise the scaffold high upon the gathering night -
taut the cord to maximize the stranglehold -
propagate the plague of human vanity -
human vanity
7. Killing Tomorrow for Yesterday
in age of avarice, we stand divided -
the gates stand festering, hope flies on its last wing -
death bell sounds when the price is paid -
remember when starlight danced in quiet glen -
the branches shook in sullen breeze -
the shadows bent to kiss the light -
the howl of wolves would breach the night -
the sun swept its path through the day -
engraving its face in the dust -
how will you forget this? -
How will you forget? -
the shadow?s dancing in the dust -
they?ve painted the tears in her eye -
they?ve painted her skin and her sky -
how will you forgive this? -
how will you forgive? -
we haunt our yesterdays
8. Starlight Barricade
on this barren hillside -
i struggle towards the firmament -
reaching as high, as my earthbound feet would carry -
often they would pirouette, waltz across the empty silent void -
constantly reminding of what we might never achieve -
we might never achieve -
astrophysics puzzle thought -
calculate impossibility -
forging horizons for mankind -
count the distant raging fires -
count the walls before us -
starlight as a barricade -
as the patterns scatter, feelings of confinement wrap my soul -
distance evades my grasp -
stilling my dreams with the ground -
silence the dreams in the dirt -
stilling my dreams with the ground -
silence the dreams in the dirt -
every evening thoughts conceived -
as I wed thee skies of night -
diabolic infinity -
mocks me with its haunting light -
silence the dreams with the earth
