Traces

The waiting to breathe from all this helpless damnation
The clouds are building darkened days to come
Upon our annihilation
To take over another ones say
I won't follow - Nor will I lead
I'll face this alone
Brainwashing that's lead us to choke
All that was believed is now a hoax

Resist The Void
03:33
|

This evolution has begun but we won't listen
Following the remains of devotion
Resist the void
There's no belief - They hide themselves from reality
Minds contempt in helpless erosion to resist the void
But I refrain from my own decisions to become a number
To be slaved
Hold the reflective actions
Reflective actions
Exile the nation
Get down and crawl
So they came to conquer because we don't follow their ways
Bound by a page putting others to disgrace
Realise and prevent the damnation
Falling into agreement of forbearance
Giving into containment
Give up
Realisation to overcome
The abolishment that chained us down
Mongered in hatred
Imprisoned at bay facing the shutters
Coming as one
Recognize the embracement
Reflective Actions
Exile the nation
Who to believe
Exile the nation

Foreboding
04:30
|

Fists of judgement
Always carried fury
Into the mind works
Unaware of detriment for a higher wealth
Ruling over what can't be tamed
Sending the pleaded spirit into a world of its own shame
Years turned to haze as the dream spread
Creating worlds of reigning misery
Battling Positivity
Surmounting surroundings of fear tales darkly hidden away
To rain upon those who are set for despair
There were never any roads to choose as it's all a big game
Driving a vortex to sweep up such innocence
Being frowned against
There's an ultimate supremacy
Demanding a change for the ruins ahead
Showering from tombstones to come
Bewaring the nightmares
Haunting the foreseen
Falling to mist feeling the drift being pulled away
From the grip of being saved
There's no atmosphere
Transforming like an anarchistic machine
To gladiate and win over the mirage of belief

Obscuration
04:14
|
|||
Descendent towers started off the flaw
Plundering to suffocate and cause
Simple price to pay for lies fed
Overwhelming greed with fools to be lead
Turn the saw
Cutting away the hope for all
Climbing the lies to an entrance
Thinking they will end up free
Tales of myths prepare infants
They give their lives for such vanity
Creating foul belief
That there's a higher source
Stealing the wealth and deceiving the poor
Cults to brainwash all in life's power
Secretly forming a useless throne
Darkening energies block the promised light
No space to hide while being torn inside
Throw away what was had and bury the past
Let go of conscience there's no fighting fate
Soon to be a page of history
Confraternity's mystery
Helplessly chased by despair
Judgement decides who will live or die
Following implantations to fit the norm
Forever in debt reigning them in fortune

Shaping Structures
06:05

We need to shape a way out
Trapped beneath currents in
This endless fight
It's hard enough bonding with a tide
Wasting all this time to be mislead
Can't find myself - I still pretend
Raise the courage to fend a path
Liberate against worlds of mayhem
Building the strength to defect
Training armies so hopelessly dissident
Another war to break the pieces
Cellular walls to prevent release
Haunting our conscience we mindlessly follow
Statues of saints crumble away
No monuments to pray for ending this age
Hiroshimical craters will choke our respiration
This battle was lost long before the extinguish
Self-immolation will make us victorious
Occultation slips into our fears
Losing sight of presence that lured those here
Prisons of the mind
Become one
Left without chance
Becoming insecure
Shading the fades
Distorting visions
All that's left to live for
What's chosen now is done
A Conflict postponed has begun
There's no infantry to defend
Roads leading out have come to an end

A Company Of Spiders
03:32
|

A poison in my vein runs so cold
Secreting
Forthcoming helpless and depraved in shame
Calling a vengeance
Arise when suns down
Controlled by rays grasping in
While watching the shore disappear
Anchoring chained piece by piece
The end of this great fossil bearing alone
This sea reflects self infliction
Carving a sustained scar of what's left
Taking me for this granted redemption
Ending the fall - I am breathless
Spun funneled and enclosed
Weathered away
Raising the dead
I am breathless
Blinded by signs
Pleading the freedom from this life
To turn back now wouldn't change the chance
Leading to the infection
Guilt surrounds earth
The seas run dry - A drought in time
Spreading unease we must create a disease
I feel the chance to leave
Changing belief
My savior has broken
This has lead us away
Arise when suns down
Controlled by rays grasping in
I'm watching the shore dissappear

The Restoration
03:55
|
|||
The turn of treason
Answering to those who called
Exiled to obscurity
Restoring ourselves
Back to a cherished state
Re-Creating paths leading escape
This air once reclined to freeze
Washing up inanimate disease
Ruins now holding us down
Fossilized and discrete
Rise above the conspire
Return to the start of this life
Losing the final fight for vengeance
Left without strength to carry on
I'm buried under the eye
With my soul still in sight
Hours spent scratching at walls
They're caving in
Climbing step by step escaping this fucking disease
An ambience fills the perimeter
The deceased know it's here
Gears start turning unlocking new air
The destruction long forgotten is finally near
I've wasted all this time suffering until end
Once this is through my violence won't comprehend
Rise above the conspire and return to the start of this life
This isn't living
We're all parted from our own minds
Blinded so easily
They can't see what's right
Infiltrate the decision that caused this to begin
Recommence mayhem but this time on them
Hope was within the burning we just needed to crawl through the smoke
