Through the aeon's we've past the void Claiming revenge on the ones destroyed Now let the shadows claim the mind As it deviates your thoughts, devolved to blind Witness the strength to overcome Shapeshifting the odds 'till what's done is done Succumbing for what we've always strived Consuming the pain that we can't leave alive This is our time, with the weakness inside Crawling and calling for the serpents voice We act upon our murderous choice Abolished by sin Leaving nothing within We seek the chaos Reformed, damnation begins The calm before the storm Rising from the ash we are reborn Fixated in the arms or darkness The hour of atonement begins So frail you crumble beneath our call Knowing the end and the fate of it all But we are the ones who can see your a fraud That you follow the weakness of a greater god This is our time, with the weakness inside Crawling and calling for the serpents voice We act upon our murderous choice Abolished by sin Leaving nothing within We seek the chaos Reformed, damnation begins The sickness is everlasting The torment is never ending The wound is ever growing The strain never mending We watch with our thousands of eyes Realizing that we truly despise Grasping for pain We will forever gain Silence! We... We are We are the surfacing (We are the surfacing) We... We are We are the ones that cant be seen (We are the ones that cant be seen) We... We are We are the surfacing (We are the surfacing) We... We are We are the ones that cant be seen (We are the ones that cant be seen)

This life has outlived us Tainting the blood that we take Soon to be swallowed whole As we deteriorate We fight to make peace Bringing corruption about No one can hear our hallowed screams Except those with doubts We believed in the gods Unable to survive Corroding the walls As they burn us alive We'll never get to Live the rest of our days Scorching the earth Lost in the haze A place we have made for all things bad A place that we could live for so long And turn so sad Where will you… Where will you run On the day of destruction! The balance is gone As hell freezes cold Praying on mankind And those that are bold Their must be some meaning Now that we perish in flames Every step that we take Defiling our names A place we have made for all things bad A place that we could live for so long And turn so sad Where will you… Where will you run On the day of destruction! Oh Where will, where will you run? Where will, where will you run? Decimation! Don't you see, that we've made this world decay Of trial and error gone wrong Don't you see, that we've only taken away Our freedom and time left to live Don't you see, that we've made this world decay Of trial and error gone wrong Don't you see, that we've only taken away Our freedom and time left to live Don't you see, that we've made this world decay Of trial and error gone wrong Don't you see, that we've only taken away Our freedom and time left to live Forever lost! Was their ever time to repent? Forever lost! With no place left to run! Forever lost! Was their ever time to repent? Forever lost! With no place left to run!

Reality shattered and time forsaken All hope now gone, the future is breaking This ruin will soon be our grave A place with nothing left to save We pray for and end to stop the weeping Soon we will all eternally be sleeping This is not the life that we wanted It's the life we've made and we'll always be haunted Ohhh... Look at what we've done Look at what we've become Conditioned to live completely numb! Were falling to far Were fading to fast to see The edge of our reality And my eyes have lied to me Now that I only see Life, in a world of ruin! Pleading with your spirit broken Now realizing that the path has awoken The echoes, behind the fading scream Designs existence to a simple dream Their is no end to our failures No end to our disasters Their is no end to our disgrace Perpetually to what we truly face Ohhh... Look at what we've done And look at what we've become Conditioned to live completely numb! Were falling to far Were fading to fast to see The edge of our reality And my eyes have lied to me Now that I only see Life, in a world of ruin! Yeah! (Oh...) Eradication! We... have turned our lives To insanity! Were falling to far Were fading to fast to see The edge of our reality And my eyes have lied to me Now that I only see Life, in a world of ruin! Were falling to far (Falling to far) Were fading to fast to see (Fading to fast) The edge of our reality (Our reality) And my eyes have lied to me (My eyes have lied) Now that i only see Life, in a world of ruin! Oh... Life Life in a world of ruin We We have made our graves Now We must make our peace!

How fowl and treacherous their ways have become Buried beneath my skin to avoid the sun And you've had enough from what they've done to you Bearing this burden waiting for something new They've come to take my thoughts! They've come to take my sanity! Leaving and breeding some sign of vanity This is where I stand! You can stop this cancer in you heart (Believing…) Just by tearing the memories apart (Believing…) So banish the demons that call you home (Believing…) And fight so you'll never find yourself alone (Believing…) Believing! (Believing...) This hate is eternal beyond the carnal abyss! They forced me to that place I never would have known Without this emptiness could I have grown? No longer will I be the victim of their lies Pushing on, finding the past of my demise They've come to take my thoughts! They've come to take my sanity! Leaving and breeding some sign of vanity This is where I stand! You can stop this cancer in you heart (Believing…) Just by tearing the memories apart (Believing…) So banish the demons that call you home (Believing…) And fight so you'll never find yourself alone (Believing…) Believing! (Believing...) This hate is eternal beyond the carnal abyss! This is the flame that is lit with hatred This is the flame that will burn the brightest! The brightest! You can stop this cancer in you heart (Believing…) Just by tearing the memories apart (Believing…) So banish the demons that call you home (Believing…) And fight so you'll never find yourself alone (Believing…) You can stop this cancer in you heart (Believing…) Just by tearing the memories apart (Believing…) So banish the demons that call you home (Believing…) And fight so you'll never find yourself alone (Believing…) Believing! (Believing...) This hate is eternal beyond the carnal abyss!

Oh... -Oh! This is where you fall! You can see the black has risen Shadowing darks true pride Where all courage is withered And misconceptions reside Confiding in panic and terror Your lifeline is lead to dismay To the end of your story With this misshapen perceptional array Though your black heart beats the same as mine The sands run dry, washing away! Though your eyes can't see past this line Falling in time after every lifeless year So you starved the truth in solitude Believing that things could change So you've made those lies and fallen through Deceiving your sight, shrouding your pain! Alone again, the reality draws near Pulling you in and breeding your fear No matter how much you try to berate You realize that you will never escape Now shame your life, corrupt your soul Stake everything you will ever know This monster that hides within your lies Behind your shadow, inside your cries Though your black heart beats the same as mine The sands run dry, washing away! Though your eyes can't see past this line Falling in time after every lifeless year So you starved the truth in solitude Believing that things could change So you've made those lies and fallen through Deceiving your sight, shrouding your pain! Can you condemn you sins through crucifixion? (Can you condemn) -Self infliction Can you make your dreams while fighting addiction? (Can you make) -This is where you fall! And you had your chance You had your time apart Now that theirs nothing left You'll never get a second start Though your black heart beats the same as mine The sands run dry, washing away! Though your eyes can't see past this line Falling in time after every lifeless year So you starved the truth in solitude Believing that things could change So you've made those lies and fallen through Deceiving your sight, shrouding your pain!

What will you do When the waters begin to rise? The devils whisper in your ear As you choke upon the lies Watch as you bleed dark red When the sun sets and falls away This cascade flows with blood Sinking your dreams will soon decay Lost beneath the weight, I suffocate, under the madness Torn apart, by the voices in my head! Still you You won't regret Your life's mistakes On prayers with no answers… And all All of this will fall Right before your very knees... Wont you send me an angel to slaughter the masses And take me from where i stand This depression grows from the shame i carry By an imbalance enlarged so grand When will you see Your prayers won't stop the bleeding? Will you soon wither away Don't you get we all stop believing? Lost beneath the weight, I suffocate, under the madness Torn apart, by the voices in my head! Still you You won't regret Your life's mistakes On prayers with no answers… And all All of this will fall Right before your very knees... I cant breathe... I cant stand to watch this go away! I'm suffocating under false hope... And they all tell me to not believe! Contempt, repent, the years that I have spent Searching for a way where I could survive Always out of reach you fall Helpless, endless, I call! But don't give in to what they said Under all this weight, if you can see… Just hold on, and hope will guide you If you cant break free So don't fall down and carry on This is not your last sunset You were made for more These dreams you wont forget But don't give in to what they said Under all this weight, if you can see… Just hold on, and hope will guide you If you cant break free So don't fall down and carry on This is not your last sunset You were made for more These dreams you wont forget These are the dreams That you You will never forget! No, never forget these dreams You must carry on, made for more You will never forget!

Ravage my heart, I live by pain Pleading for release before I go insane I know what I've done and I will not change My value is constant without derange Eternal, fated, entwined A benevolence that I'll never find Every light casts a shadow Rending again, this intent forever hallow The sacred and the scarce (The sacred and the scarce) The pain will never end (The pain will never end) Caught in this cycle (Caught in this cycle) The pain will never end (The pain will never end) Giving up on my own life Self sacrificed to end the strife Agony is the price I pay To help those with less to say (Less to say!) The vultures, they rise once more To devour your flesh from the day before And you feel, this fates embrace Of your shackled lifeless trace Though I've lost my body I haven't lost my mind The shadows grow But your wicked ways could never change my kind The sacred and the scarce (The sacred and the scarce) The pain will never end (The pain will never end) Caught in this cycle (Caught in this cycle) The pain will never end (The pain will never end) Giving up on my own life Self sacrificed to end the strife Agony is the price I pay To help those with less to say (less to say!) Let the vultures burn! (Let the vultures burn) Oh... let the vultures burn (Let the vultures burn) For I will survive! (For i will survive) Now... let the vultures burn (Let the vultures burn) And I regret nothing (And I regret nothing) Because their was no escape (Because their was no escape) Still I regret nothing (Still I regret nothing) For I will survive! (For I will survive!) Giving up on my own life Self sacrificed to end the strife Agony is the price I pay To help those with less to say (Less to say!) Let the vultures burn! (Let the vultures burn) Oh... let the vultures burn (Let the vultures burn) For I will survive! (For I will survive) Now... let the vultures burn (Let the vultures burn) And I regret nothing (And I regret nothing) Because their was no escape (Because their was no escape) Still I regret nothing (Still I regret nothing) For I will survive! (For I will survive!)

As these shadows pull beneath your feet Corrupting your life, admitting defeat Scathing wounds, now pierce your eyes Dragging you down and decaying the light Conspire in darkness, the madness sub-stained Cauterized my mind to relegate the pain Knowing that the sentence draws near The obstacle you face will always be clear Night falls fast! As my sight begins to grey Was I ever safe? Was I ever safe? The day grows long The pain stays longer My conscience weakens Absolving my resolve In truth their is only lies In truth their is only lies! Its time to witness the end And welcome the darkness! The remnants of earth and blood Washings away with the tides of the flood An aching voice, the desperate tongues Holding back the breath from my very lungs Paved in black, shadows to dust Realizing all structures will rust Decaying you slowly succumb Eaten by the cold as your flesh grows numb Converge and submerge Into the nightmare Was I ever safe? Was I ever safe? The day grows long The pain stays longer My conscience weakens Absolving my resolve In truth their is only lies In truth their is only lies! Its time to witness the end And welcome the darkness! Now you can say your goodbyes Was this meant to be? You will finally see (You will finally see) The one in the mirror! Now you know you will never be the same Fading fast, the hours have gone and passed Fleeting the moments (Fleeting the moments) That would never last Yet we welcome the darkness You welcome the darkness! As the world goes numb I will truly become One with the fading light One with the fading light! Their will be no re-praise Lost for all, of those days Though it seems like I am alive I can still breathe but I'm dead inside! Now you can say your goodbyes Was this meant to be? You will finally see (You will finally see) The one in the mirror! Now you know you will never be the same Fading fast, the hours have gone and passed Fleeting the moments (Fleeting the moments) That would never last Yet we welcome the darkness You welcome the darkness! Rah... In truth, their is only lies In truth, their is only lies! So we welcome the darkness And you have welcomed the darkness!

To long now this time has passed Written far from life This silence haunts me Every moment I look back... It's when memories fade And this somber past so old That lets you slowly drift away... Self indulgence was spread like fire I was lost, I was ready to die their Now I know how hard you tried You were keeping me from dying inside Painful thoughts were breaking through Until you were their to show me what to do Still I would always make things worse Putting my past and its problems first Nothing lasts forever And nothing stays the same But my thoughts keep pushing on I feel I'm the one to blame And in all of this I stand Still to find my place Emotions set to far back So weary drawn upon my face Of broken dreams they showed You knew this day would come Shocked your past betrays you Every waking moment gone Regret my lips black with cancer In truth ill never see the answer A blighted future will now unfold The only thing I'll feel is cold Nothing lasts forever And nothing stays the same But my thoughts keep pushing on I feel I'm the one to blame And in all of this I stand Still to find my place Emotions set to far back So weary drawn upon my face You told me to stay strong Without you this all seems wrong Blindly I feel I cant go on As your words turn to dust! Deprived, of the only thing that mattered most to you Your heart, tattered on the ground still beating and beating Time deranged, descending A feeling so strange Now that you became a memory I realize how much you meant to me And now The loneliness Begins to eat away… As my time runs out And my life seems lifeless! I've always been alone And always been betrayed The only one that cared about me was the one I could not save! (The loneliness Eats away Leaving nothing left For me...) (The loneliness Eats away Leaving nothing left For me...)

Yeahhhhh... Throne of lunacy Confusions of thought Protrusions from space in between Alignments unseen Unlocking the matrix The codex of trial The boundaries submerge Forsaken, divine illusion! Mind, matter, dimensions flatter Enduring the state, we- Find, shatter, uphold and scatter Becoming one, becoming all! Fear of the unknown Reborn of seeds unsown An infinite design Chaos in theory defined Dimensions unfold Collapse, collide Eclipsing the sky All daylight will die! Mind, matter, dimensions flatter Enduring the state, we- Find, shatter, uphold and scatter Becoming one, becoming all! Entropy, insanity, it's all coming clear to me That the answer can never be Crossed, cost, forever lost Becoming none, becoming the fall! Invoking time, the sands will take your senses Measuring the path you took, you look away -You fade away! Inside the life stream the helix stands. (Helix stands.) Forgotten, the cosmos reprimands! The secrets of the blissful void. (Blissful void.) That the great darkness will make us null... Mind, matter, dimensions flatter Enduring the state, we- Find, shatter, uphold and scatter Becoming one, becoming all! Entropy, insanity, its all coming clear to me That the answer can never be. Crossed, cost, forever lost. Becoming none, becoming the fall! Extinguish, extinct, becoming one! Extinguish, extinct, becoming none! Extinguish, extinct, becoming one!
