Sick
05:05
|
|||
Underneath a curtain of dread we bow our heads as the sky
Turns to a horrifying red to a chorus of deafening cries
Our trembling hands unable to soothe the pounding fear
From all the horrors that we have caused to happen here
Oh Father if we're free then please tell me why - do we drink from all this poison that will make us die?
And so as this filth drips down from off our lips - we never question why the water makes us sick
The integrity of our resolve now decays with every moment here
And in our weakness we welcome into our hearts controlling fear
In the killing fields of our design where we die without volition
Now just looks of terror remain in the husks that have 'come our prisons
Oh Father if we're free then please tell me why - do we drink from all this poison that will make us die?
And so as this filth drips down from off our lips - we never question why the water makes us sick
We know in our hearts as the fire we started begins to engulf the world around us
That we carry the blame but we do not bare any shame for what we have done
And here now we can only watch on in horror unable to stop this plague of madness that has taken us all
It is this moment where we have birthed our new empire and it is in this moment where we watch our future die

The Weight
04:36
|
|||
Again and again this dread stabs me like a silence just echoing
Calling back from where fears remain there's no escape what we've seen
Now our failures we can't forget will just linger on forever here
Like a sting that will never subside 'til it has become too much to bare
Is in this damage where we belong?
And will we carry all our weight 'til we can't carry on?
Cause all this pain has not made us stronger
And now our hope that carries weight won't hold much longer
Again and again stains of what was paint us and dress us in its colours
Like a mask that we can't remove there are choices we will never undo
Now our search to just feel anything more than this rot that haunts our dreams
Is felt in us with every breath and it cripples us now endlessly
Is in this damage where we belong?
And will we carry all our weight 'til we can't carry on?
Cause all this pain has not made us stronger
And now our hope that carries weight won't hold much longer

Violence
04:21
|
|||
Messages from the deep that scream in these endless dreams
The terror in the heart that beats out now as it bleeds
God of this world and the next nothing can prepare us for this death
Cause what will swallow us down is forever and endless
I can hear it calling from the space in-between screams without a face
All that we lay down in blood's all we can't outrun
Here in the dark it lays awake and silent
And so alone I die lost in its unrelenting violence
It burns in me
And what we never speak of now screams so fucking loud
The approaching demise heralded by a blood black shroud
God of this world and the next nothing can prepare us for this death
Cause what will swallow us down is forever and endless
I can hear it calling from the space in-between screams without a face
All that we lay down in blood's all we can't outrun
Here in the dark it lays awake and silent
And so alone I die lost in its unrelenting violence
It burns in me

The Hands of Time
04:16
|
|||
Our broken minds trapped in time by all that we keep inside
And through the shifting sands of time moments that we can't forget
Will all just turn to dust as we seek but never find
And now all of this regret will follow us until death
Holding on - we'll run forever to know what we were all torn from
Falling now - but there is nothing of all we've lost to find
Holding on - we'll run forever to know what we were all torn from
Falling now - but none of our pain can reverse the hands of time
Our memories are left like stains etched deep into the skin
Oh we only bring forth now all that we hold within
And leave behind us all mementos made from pain
That we will always find until they lead to our graves
Holding on - we'll run forever to know what we were all torn from
Falling now - but there is nothing of all we've lost to find
Holding on - we'll run forever to know what we were all torn from
Falling now - but none of our pain can reverse the hands of time

Towards the End
04:53
|
|||
The degradation of our core hidden away behind synthetic screens
With eyes that have been blinded to all except for what they all choose to see
Our minds constructed by these machines built and designed under a dying sun
And now the rot has taken ahold it will grow and grow until we succumb
So I wake up in the dark again with the sound of static pounding endlessly in my head
And I feel I can't stop falling now hurling violently down towards the end
Words that are screamed without a face in this place that only festers decay
Those who resist the future they've made will have no fate but be exile or slaved
And to this fate now humans made soulless and vain from the hate that they nourish
Becomes the scum that breeds in this filth on which they will just continue to flourish
So I wake up in the dark again with the sound of static pounding endlessly in my head
And I feel I can't stop falling now hurling violently down towards the end
How can we kill the noise when it has become our voice
Lost to the pounding sound like waves in which we drown

Parasite
04:43
|
|||
In silence we're forced to watch as it now takes its fill
With teeth stained all in black from the putrid venom it spills
In silence we endure forced to suffer its ways
And on and on it takes unable to feel the shame
Like a parasite it will feed and feed until its host has started rotting
Oh and piece by piece it will just consume until it has been left with nothing
It manipulates and twists us until it can fit inside
Where it imitates our lives watched by its cold dead black eyes
An existence in the dark demanding we meet its needs
Cause it cannot exist without the life on which it feeds
Like a parasite it will feed and feed until its host has started rotting
Oh and piece by piece it will just consume until it has been left with nothing
Like a parasite it will feed and feed until it has been left with nothing

My Own Mortality
06:25
|
|||
The skin that burns under a sky of steel
This aching and this terror is all that I now feel
Like I am being called to witness my demise
By the hell that I am shown every night when I closed eyes
This frailty that carries with it a dread that perpetuates
Like pieces that only ever seek to just fall away
Eternally I feel it for this end I can only wait
There is a ripping that will forever tear
Until the holes become all that is there
Cause all that starts to decay can never fully repair
Oh when all that we know crumbles underneath the terror of all that we can never conceive - I'll take my place
And just like the death that I've lived in dreams I will give up to this machine my own mortality
The face reflecting back at me I don't recognise
These hands and my skin that are no longer mine
This flesh prison I'm inside is starting to succumb to time
Beyond all horrors that we could ever conceive
When blood has no worth but to soak dirt beneath
From all that rips and tears we will finally be free
Oh when all that we know crumbles underneath the terror of all that we can never conceive - I'll take my place
And just like the death that I've lived in dreams I will give up to this machine my own mortality
I can feel the cracks
Start to join together
I am becoming nothing
Here and forever

Still Water
05:35
|
|||
The parts that we played were not designed to drift away
But I can't undo all the ties that pull and fray
And so to this endless tomorrow I'm compelled each day
While a single faded yesterday is where your heart remains and
In the still water where dreams drown
We find ourselves floating now
And if you allow yourself to sink down
You'll break the chains that we've bound
And in the still water where dreams drown
We find ourselves floating now
And if you allow yourself to sink down
You'll break these chains to which we're bound
I would always burden your curse to be married to your death
But the fight inside your heart has faded and now there's nothing left
Cause these demons that are inside you now just guide you further away
To a place where men go to die and I can't stay just to watch you fade
In the still water where dreams drown
We find ourselves floating now
And if you allow yourself to sink down
You'll break the chains that we've bound
And in the still water where dreams drown
We find ourselves floating now
And if you allow yourself to sink down
You'll break these chains to which we're bound

A Good Death
05:41
|
|||
Spread across the open we lay
Wrapped in a unison of decay
We act like time is our enemy
And not a gift that we've let empty
Is a good death all we can ask for?
Where we are just memories of all that came before
There's a dread that grows in us each day
A fear that slowly takes our breath away
And what's held onto now will drag us till death
While what is lost will speak our last breath
Is a good death all we can ask for?
Where we are just memories of all that came before
