1. Temple From the Within
make me feel serenity when all is revealed
so easy to look back in life and question
but i must seek to find the strength
to push forward
i want to see what's so beautiful inside
as we drink of life eternal
absolve me through your suffering
teach me to inscribe
these words on my heart
cover me with the shadow of your hand
i will not loose myself in everything that tears me down
because you stand by me
no one to blame for my transgressions
no one to blame but myself
2. Vide Infra
i have opened my eyes to see to see the world the surrounds me daily
i refuse to be led by the majority
can't compromise i and i
to pass judgment
judgment will be passed upon you
i will stand up for who i am
never moved by condemnation
no one is placed higher than another
no matter race or creed or gender
we must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life
through understanding of our differences
we will find respect for one another
we are all flesh and blood
i am not afraid to speak my mind
no matter the consequences
stay true to yourself
through the humble eyes of a child we will realize true equality
they can not take me from me
3. Irreversal
look behind what lies on the sirface rituals to read the signs
signify the life i leave behind... behind, lies set me free,
release me, embrace me, cleanse me i am not alone something so much
greater than i look behind what lies on the surface humbled soul to reveal
a purpose outstratched arms to welcome the sacrifice of this body
4. Rusted Embrace
gazing at the horizon lost in the cryptic majesty gazing at the horizon
so lost what have we done a slowly dying earth a suffocated wasteland
for convenience and so called progression visions of prophecy faces
pushed in the earth nothing will change unless we inflict transition
praying on bended knees (empty) closed eyes will not see (empty)
praying on bended knees (empty) is there still time...
the sands of time will are slipping through our fingers will we stare
into the eyes of nothingness burned and raped in the name of humanity
enslaved earth i pray for death for your release
5. Prelude
6. Soilborn
time will not stand still today is the day the dya of salvation
living for more than just a synthetic force fed existence
this is my disposition i will strive for the truth this is my disposition
i will strive for integrity time will not stand still
we are the soilborn we are the children soilborn washed in blood
because we are blind we must not take this life for granted
in this everlasting thirst to maintain vitality
this is my disposition i will strive to find rebirth
today is the day of salvation life has only just begun today is the day
7. Numb Sickened Eyes
enter into a circle of light, engraved in flesh stare in my eyes,
i will not bow down, the only truth pulling words form my lips tearing me
within this life will remain a mystery to you until the day you pass away
speak lies spilling from your lips as clear as crimson (as clear as crimson)
i sacrifice what i most desire to you i spoke my vengeance
with only a smile to you casting out deception to you
8. In the Unblind
separation from the faceless majority step on the outside
look on the inside tear tear it apart, a prisoner only in your own mind
individuality will bring you life time to rise above to freedom
so much love lost, what have we become rise against the oppresion,
resist and question burn the system kill the system kill the mindstate
of indifference step into the unblind reclaim your life
9. One Last Sunset
