Ashen
04:17

Barred behind the broken
Chained to the invisible
Feel it’s grip tighten
How long has it been?
How long?
Leaden eyes
Lurk through blinds
The world in bloom
Suspire once more
When will my bones finally give?
Bend and break
Distort, Contort
What shape have we formed?
Barred behind the broken
Chained to the invisible
Feel it’s grip tighten
The weight of loss is whole
Feigned existence echoes
Forgotten are the blissful days
Bygone, Benign
Basked in the afterglow of youth
Remembrance grows cold
Throats aflame, Tongues ashen
Consumed
Bygone, Benign
Bygone, Benign
Bygone, Benign
What shape have we formed?
Our throats aflame, Our tongues ashen
We are consumed

Abrogation of Light
04:28
|

Unfound, Misguide
Lathered in grime, filth in the smile
Pleasure meets pain, this gift; to blame
Rebirth from fear, all in its name
Here we stand, bound by the sound
Falter in the foundation
Incomprehension, cracked and corroded
Tears permit to rust
Eye of the storm, beside your grace
From now on, its mark erased
Lathered in grime, filth in the smile
Pleasure meets pain, this gift; to blame
Rebirth from fear, all in its name
Cyclical patterns
Spun into stagnancy
Your grand reversal
Fallen, faded, forever remain
Eye of the storm, beside your grace
From now on, its mark erased
A failed absorbance of the mind within
All has been written on the wall
Fueled by delusion, the embers begin to spread
A callous disregard scorches this bridge
And still, it burns
Abrogation of light
A failed absorbance of the mind within
All has been written on the wall
Unfound, Misguide
Diverge, Volatilize

Crocodile Tears
04:20
|

Separate the shroud
Separate
A light shown hollow
What has been, will remain forever blackened
Seething with disdain
Cupped hands collect only crocodile tears
Severed and absolute
I refuse to be blinded any longer
Bathed in your sorrow
Condemnation and contempt
Clutched and clawing
Grasping for warmth
Delusive radiance
Pour me out, lick me up
Bleed, Feed, Recede
Bleed, Feed, Recede
I refuse to be blinded any longer
Separate the shroud
Separate the shroud
Bleed, Feed, Recede
Bleed, Feed, Recede
There is no solace in this apparition
No sleep, no peace
Only broken frames
Scattered shells
Inhale, breathe anew
The air fills my lungs
Make the piles
Let the water flow
Begin, Arise

Humanity; Lost
03:04
|
|||
Cold is the world, we choose to live
Held down by fear, power built by sin
This is the hell they’ve made
This is our hell
Where is your moral compass?
Has it led you astray?
Stricken with sickness
Drowning in poverty
But you’d let us beg at your door
Blood, sweat, and tears,
Shed to survive, royalty thrives
Separation of Church and State,
Yet you worship wealth upon a throne,
Upon a throne of gold
Power built by sin
Shunned
Cast aside
Still here you stand, oblivious
The body is hollow
A shell of a true human being
No compassion, Nor empathy
Absorbency for humane thought is gone
An afterthought
Blood, sweat, and tears,
Shed to survive, royalty thrives
Separation of Church and State,
Yet you worship wealth upon a throne of gold
Evisceration from within
Annihilation of the regime
Humane thought is gone
Humanity; Lost

Eternity
06:24
|
|||
Steel and stone, blood and bone
Suffering in search of freedom.
Gripping at hope, to find a way out
Promised
Solace
Kept within arms reach
Separation with no explanation,
Brothers, Sisters cry out to their Mothers and Fathers
Torn from each other’s arms
Cast away, miles away
Is this the asylum we were promised?
Barricaded; Vermin
Is this the welcome we offer?
Blockaded; Vile
Trespassers
There is no refuge here
Outsiders
There is no refuge here
Land of the imprisoned, home of the enslaved
Expendable, Expunged
Mouths left open
Fear Monger
Glared in unsuspecting eyes
Souls bled dry
Relentless cold shoulder, relentless
Blind to the tears
Blind to the tears
Blind to the warmth once shared, it’s true
Blind to the tears
Blind to warmth once shared, it’s true
Subterranean eternity
Will open its doors
We are one
