1. Afterworld
The judgement made in our minds
Original sin - Buried nonsense
Under recent acts of debasement
The result reflects in your eyes
And a shadow of your works
Is cast into the hereafter
Lose count of the days you spend
Your greatest crime against the world
Left you screaming burning
In the afterworld
The judgement made in our minds
Original sin - Buried nonsense
Welcome to the end
You rationalize protecting life
By taking life seems to me insanity
To throw the first stone
I have heard is to be inocent
But how pure? When you smell blood
The judgement made in our minds
Original sin - Buried nonsense
Welcome to the end
Construct your own prison
Based on your beliefs
Sentenced to the Afterworld
Here for eternity
2. Night Terrors
Terror when I close my eyes
Tight grip on my lungs
Heartbeat rippping out of my chest
Coiled around my spine
Dark Subconscious
Threat to take my life
Exposed nerves break and burn
No time in my life
No release to sleep at night
Terror in the night
Closing in on my breath
Suffocation death
Can't trust in myself
Afraid of the truth mirrors speak
Horror in my mind
Terror in the night
Terror in the night
Terror in the night
Night Terrors
Night Terrors
Night Terrors
Night Terrors
3. Quantum Sickness
My possible lives spread and ebb like the tide
As I am horrified to open the door
Chance gambles with every turn
A new way to shred my mind
Quantum sickness
Decide or die
Infect your brain in crooked angles
The road less walked becomes thousands
I can't devide anymore
In the beholder's eye
He thinks he knows the resons why
Cult of the quantum
My choice what I see?
Who plays god could not face their creation
What is fate but a slot machine
To feed your soul to new revenue
A religion to empower but from below it devours
When the world sets to sleep at night
does it vanish when I close my eyes?
A creation of delusion when left in
the nothing forest the screams I might imagine
Could only be me
But will there only be
Silence?
4. Fathom Unknown
Still living in better times
An old home things once loved now only
Traced in bleak colors whas this
Serenity only delusion?
The path is locked
And the dead keep it
Must we lose our freedom to learn its value
Or is that freedom something unkown to us
A definition with no translation
Can you know what it is to breath
Before you are born
The path is locked
And the dead keep it
With this constant fear
A remaining suffocation sucking down
To nocturnal oceans blockout this
Pain to reach new depths
Until you surface a fathom unkown
The path is locked
And the dead keep it
5. No Dawn In Sight
And the dark sky
It wicked on our eyes
Do you wonder if you'll ever see
The morning sun?
The chill spreads in my bones
I can't name what I feel
If this is the winter of your discontent
Then I'm aftaid to face the day
Do you know as I do
Why you can't sleep at night
Will you realize
There's no dawn in sight
I now wonder if any know
how may words we've made for death
a morbind fixation in our lives
you only treasure what you have
when it dies
Do you know as I do
Why you can't sleep at night
Will you realize
There's no dawn in sight
Feel your youth begin to fade
As the earth rots the same
Do what you will say what you must
But don't you dare pass on the blame
6. To Hell
To hell ....
7. Welcome To The Void
All your rights seem like wrongs
Your world so black and white
Is all life really sacred?
You seem repulsed by the sight
Humanity torn apart
Where do homeless sleep tonight
Your plan for recovery leaps
To death on unfriendly streets
We've all played our part
damned us all from the start
Running forward in the dark
To welcome the void
Sanity has a price tag
Medicine costs more than life
Still scales weigh prescriptions
Where will the money come from?
The state won't cut the checks
Only our throats
There is no safety net
For when we need it the most
We've all played our part
damned us all from the start
Running forward in the dark
To welcome the void
You would keep us in pain
As if we want your drugs
Still you smash primates heads
Plunge fingers inside
So science to explain
Mammals are coldblooded here
A quiet death you feel
To welcome the void
We've all played our part
damned us all from the start
Running forward in the dark
To welcome the void
8. Reaper In The Wind
A vision of horror on the horizon
Shiver in the corner of your eye
Pushing us forward out of cover
And exposed
Do you smell it in the air
Virus in the sky
running plague
Through water and the mind
Bailing sickness gesters and
You're spent a carcass to be butchered
Do you willingly submit to
Changing times forfit release
From this pain its picking you up
Slicing you away
Reaper in the wind
Caution to how you tread even your
Footsteps they will erase when the
Proud fall they take all with them
There is no escape from the shroud of death
