Setting out on a murderous venture Eliminate the pain Eliminate all the pain of tomorrow The day will come When the light that upheld you in your darkest moment will shut you down I am vacant All the marks are permanent And time’s not on my side I am nascent Rising up few years too late and there’s no thin ice left to walk on Tomorrow I will take you down with me Take you down with me Setting out on a murderous venture Paying the ultimate price That proved us companions in the test of time There’s adventure in searching Plow through the barricade right now I’ve awaken Mental corruption at its finest Losing your grip on a life you cannot claim I’m complacent Rising up few years too late Don’t show your face around here anymore Aimless and alone it is the echo Shards of sunrays fade and turn away from the streams But my reign of anger will remain unsatisfied Make them suffer claim my vengeance kill the parasites A heart to feel The strength to heal in channeling this anger No other way to harbor Where everything is all so still Let the noises fade to silence and feel the tug of the tidal pull I’ve awaken Mental corruption at its finest Losing your grip on a life you cannot claim I’m complacent Rising up through the ashes we’re nascent There’s no thin ice left here to walk on This is the test of time A heart to feel The strength to heal in channeling this anger No other way to harbor Where everything is all so still Let the noises fade to silence and feel the tug of the tidal pull A heart to feel The strength to heal in channeling this anger No other way to harbor Where everything is all so still Let the incandescent night rise to guide your way

Bred in a world of division, Apathy’s integrity invites unwanted rage, We all yearn for a purpose, But the thoughts of arrogance pollute their minds Psychological warfare, Observing a clear view sure is a rarity, They eclipse their thoughts from the masses, And bind their dreams from reality (Bind from reality) We all yearn for a purpose, But the thoughts of arrogance pollute their minds We all yearn for a purpose, for a purpose Our apathy will burn our cities Their violence transcends our words Our lack of action will disavow Silencing subdues reality (Silencing subdues reality) Our apathy will burn our cities to the ground Can’t let their violence transcend our words Our lack of action will disavow Silencing subdues reality Our apathy will burn our cities Their violence transcends our words Our lack of action will disavow Silencing subdues reality Our apathy will burn our cities to the ground Can’t let their violence transcend our words Our lack of action will disavow Silencing subdues reality The beginning relapses The stream of life in a labyrinth of adversity But still we yearn for a purpose Overthrowing the menace With passionate regard for sanity I can’t feel when I don’t have you here

Confined from fantasy This crime that fills the void with a soft stare that lures me Lovely in ecstasy I just so happen to be acquainted with the night, the night Prevent us from pressing on abysmally Don’t look towards the light! Years and years ensue the numbing of the mind The brevity of life provides we entertain our lust-sick hearts, go knocking on the moonlit door, Now! Distance dies - appetizing! Lay down! Bring me to acquisition! Escaping to the edge of existence Compelling our faultlines From the light to shadows and cut the weight that drags you below Below Confined from fantasy This crime that fills the void with a soft stare that lures me Lovely in ecstasy I just so happen to be acquainted with the night, the night Prevent us from pressing on abysmally Escaping to the edge of existence, Compelling our fault lines, Ascending – hopeless, yet weightless The truth reveals your design and all this time! Don’t deny! The stillness answers. Spiral downward to darkness Thoughts are sinking and vanishing, Slam the vista! Escaping to the edge of existence, Compelling our fault lines, Ascending, yet hopeless and weightless The truth reveals your desire Confined from fantasy This crime that fills the void with a soft stare that lures me Lovely in ecstasy

Set your sights Set your mind ablaze Desolate land you now roam Your cloistered life remains Trust the faith I’ve handed to you on your way Down below the threshold lies the key The key to prosperity, but behind walls unscathed it stays engraved Why would you pray in the dark? Swallow all the pain and suffocate Is it serenity that you are looking for? If you can end my pain, then why’d you take control You claim that you bring peace, then why am I unwhole And when I need you most, why do you leave Me lying sleeping in the cracks of this cold reality Wait on the sideline while all mankind burns This scarlet moon won’t bring back the life you used to call your own Why would you pray in the dark? Swallow all the pain and suffocate Is it serenity that you are looking for? And I’ve been to the ending of a lifetime Our story’s never meant to be defined No strength, no light to guide No moving on We’ll make the ascension seem painless We’ll climb above it all We’re moving on Harmonious times lay behind those walls Constant retaliation, divergent steps are where the journey starts Trust the faith I've handed you It's a long road, but you will see a better day And I’ve been to the ending of a lifetime Our story’s never meant to be defined No strength, no light to guide No moving on We’ll make the ascension seem painless We’ll climb above it all We’re moving on

My sense of trust astray Arise to break these chains The falling side won’t dethrone the deity Bridging the gaps to find our grace There’s no use in constant hiding Breaking the walls to reach the crowd Methods collapse as salvation crumbles Disguising a vacant sense of forgiveness We open up our minds to gain our wisdom from ignorance As day dims into the night Prepare a great resistance I have just one wish I fathom my subsistence Force fed by the mass With solace we must press on My sense of trust astray Avoid the forged acclaim A failed design won’t lead to finality Withstanding the weight of the world, and find a place that we can call home Breaking the walls to reach the crowd Methods collapse as our salvation crumbles Disguising a vacant sense of forgiveness We open up our minds to gain our wisdom from ignorance As day dims into the night Prepare a great resistance I have just one wish I fathom my subsistence Leave the past behind And let the pain subside You will withstand the pressure Just let it go (Just let it go) We've walked through fallen cities And made ourselves our home You can overcome the pressure Now come with me (Now come with me) We've rebuilt these fallen cities We’ve made it through and now this is our home

Megalomaniacal hypocrisy Speak your mind for the blind in hopes that they will see Thrive in a dysfunctional democracy And speak the truth to the bleak in hopes they will believe And still convinced that it's a fair fight, Their power generates a hungry source unyielding, Corruption seeps through from the core Shadows beckon them to the abyss, Toss the dice, but be willing to pay. Pay the price You gambled too long and played the wrong card Manipulation prosecuted where justice dwells An attempt to poison our crumbling democracy, And still!... you're convinced that it's a fair fight You gambled for far too long I can’t fucking take it anymore Gambled for far too long You gambled too long and played the wrong card Manipulation prosecuted where justice dwells Treacherous intentions, Orchestrated deception, Treacherous intentions, We'll burn your agenda Manipulation prosecuted where justice dwells

The beginning relapses The stream of life in a labyrinth of adversity It presses stronger with every turn Overthrowing the menace With passionate regard for sanity I can’t feel when I don’t have you here Give me that peace of mind The pressure has gone away Staring down the path I chose, out of breath and no one knows Where mysteries abound, where excitement grows Its where I can call my home that I atone Peace on earth, the undertow All I’ve lost, and all that’s left here to find Will disrupt my dreams and bring me back to life Dark drew the light from my eyes Cynicism, an inevitable frame of mind The endless sea seeks to destroy humanity The dark drew the light from my eyes Just look past the faults, you’ll realize No choice now but to fucking fall away Staring down the path I chose, out of breath and no one knows Where mysteries abound, where excitement grows Its where I can call my home that I atone Peace on earth, the undertow All I’ve lost, and all that’s left here to find Will disrupt my dreams and bring me back to life Give me something to live for When there’s no room left to grow, can I let this go Give me something to live for And what’s the danger in knowing And what’s the danger in knowing how it feels Staring down the path I chose, out of breath and no one knows Where mysteries abound, where excitement grows Its where I can call my home that I atone Peace on earth, the undertow All I’ve lost, and all that’s left here to find Will disrupt my dreams and bring me back to life

We are lost souls in these haunted streets And I'm lost in my mind There must be another way, I can't keep biting my tongue without a word to say. For God's sake, I've made a big mistake I drown my thoughts into the bottom of the lake. My demons want my flesh by the pound. Sitting in this room counting down the days Keep on talking to myself saying it’ll all be okay. With our names in our future lights The fragrance of our home We all have hell upon our shoulders alone It can weigh me down, but not hold me under Theses voices are easily heard But I'm standing on the tip For God's sake, I've made a big mistake, Is it me? Or is it all in my head? Let me out I shout it loud I love you I guess you’ll never know It's been a long time coming now, And I still don't know what it was all about, She was sleeping in the room upstairs, Now the light that upheld you in your darkest moment will hold you down Hold you down We all have hell upon our shoulders alone It won’t weigh me down, but it will hold you under, Theses voices are easily heard Plow through the barricade right now I've been told the other one saw it through the window Death visited our hell down below And it still seems to be a bit unfair I guess you’ll never fucking know Never fucking know I guess you’ll never fucking know Let me out I shout it loud (Shout it loud) I love you (I love you) I guess you’ll never know

Listening for the voice of direction This hell is of my own perception Forcing submission through subjection This fragment builds past the inception Searching under every pore Cyclical and pondered off as something more Tethered by severed fates we've lived before Torn into living by the scars we bore Wake the beast and open up We’re on our way There’s nowhere left to run here in this life Underneath the masquerade We're in too deep I pray your souls to keep when everyone's brought to their knees Hell to the rest as I hold my breath, Prayers we’ll do without City of dreams in this fallout, under skies of dust Lost control beyond my grip, I’ve drawn my line in the sand I believe Blinded by design we’re freed while these lost souls will fall behind Noises fade, my mind is made Silence saturates Turn away from the tides that subsist just to pull you in Face the walls that speak in tongues You must endure Hell to the rest as I hold my breath Prayers we’ll do without City of dreams in this fallout, under skies of dust Lost control beyond my grip I’ve drawn my line in the sand I believe Blinded by design we’re freed while these lost souls fall behind Noises fade, my mind is made Silence saturates Turn away from the tides that subsist just to pull you in Face the walls that speak in tongues You must endure

Final Form 10:11
Letting go of all once had Thought you would have done the same All investment in one place Only to be shut out for a final time Cut me off when I needed you most When everything was so still Let the noises fade to silence and feel the tug of the tidal pull The lows and the highs Amid the ataxia There is once an equilibrium Overturning in madness, I’ve lost all my regard The connection seemed authentic but was just a façade Turning of night a missing emotion I aggrieve How did we fade, to nothingness after so long How could I, have let you go The mask is off, my true intentions are revealed I am betrayed, left to my own devise Letting go of all once had Thought you would have done the same All investment in one place Only to be shut out for a final time Cut me off when I needed you most When everything was so still Let the noises fade to silence and feel the tug of the tidal pull Come under my wing I can show you life Show you life Come take my hand We’re in our final form If only for a moment Could I hear you whisper again Encompassed in whole regret Overturning in madness, I’ve lost all my regard How did we fade to nothing after so long Dark drew the light from my eyes Just look past the faults, I’ve No choice now but to fall away Locked down is our frame of mind The endless sea seeks to destroy All of humanity’s deep void Trust the faith I gave you It's a long road, and you’ll never see another day Come under my wing I can show you life Take my hand This is our final form Come under my wing I can show you life Come and take my hand This is our final form A heart to feel The strength to heal in channeling this anger No other way to harbor Where everything is all so still Let the noises fade to silence And feel the tug of the tidal pull
