Still cryptic in each word that fumbles aimlessly they're numb to any worth, they don't mean anything. Visuals made you wish you were blind, torn apart from the fury inside. Until you fade away, into that dark and final day. This is where we stand, from now till oblivion. No choice left but surrender, no one can run forever. This is where we stand, from now till oblivion. Until the towers fall in place, we will not be erase. This will never change, the way things come to be. This will never change, the inherited hierarchy. This will never change, the insidious heart of man. This will never change, unless you take command. We've tried so to null the pain and learned to live in our distain. We're all at fault we're all to blame, we fucked it up—everything. Now it's all over.

Chaos follows a life of stagnation, destined to fall apart, eroded by the voice of change. We contain the fire, the essence to push forward, the opposition against the fatal ties, by those who only want to. Kill the light, to claim a legacy. No insight, no code of empathy. Kill the light, to claim a legacy. Crawl inside, the new hypocrisy. Constant the violations bleeding out the worth. Toxic the aftermath it's only getting worse. I can't abide to go along with this insanity, no safety, from the endless struggle and the hell it brings. Kill the light... All you ever were, all you'll ever be, all you fight to keep, all means nothing.

Moonlight piercing cold, revealing each secret unshown, pale as bones. When there’s no one around, screaming deafening howl, neither lost nor found. Pieces from this broken home felt in every weakness I've shown. Fall like rain, effortless to the ground, then flood beneath me. Grasping as we're falling far away, out of reach. Our light dimming slow. From shine to glow. Gasping as we're drowning in the wake, fight to breathe. I still can’t believe. Nothing can bring this relief. Fears don't sleep. Wondering this street alone. I'll find this strength on my own. Fall like rain… Never let go… There is no release. There is no retreat. I don't need to live inside this lie.

Maelstrom 04:38
This means war, so what the fuck are we waiting for? Somebody to tell us no, this isn't the way to go. Rally the storm, leaving everything broken and battered and torn. Whatever you want you'll get, here's something you wont forget. We are the bane, so expect us, don’t get carried away. And all that you say, in an effort to instill disarray. How much can you take, till your washed out and the quarry is spent. You'll never relent, but we will not stand to suffer your shit. Always left to wonder in the dismay, searching for meaning lest we step out of line. We'll take any option that we can get, just to keep breathing, one more day at a time. Oh, we rise and fall. We risk it all. We’re never letting go. Always… All in the way it all comes to be, lost in our moral decay, humanity slipping away, hearts that are filling with rage. Feeling so lost and afraid, take me away.

Said(I)meant 04:25
Thoughtless like a brain lobotomy, inbound to rupture internally. Get up, get up, make a stand Before you crumble, make them choke on their own words Callous toward everything I once believed How long until you will eventually Give up, give up while you can. Time to rumble. Make the ground beneath you quake. It's all gonna break. There's nowhere to call home. There's no easy way out. I remember what I hate about… losing all my control, never-ending doubt. Reject this poison burning you inside out. What from me is there still left to take? Careless as I start to atrophy. Losing myself in mediocrity Get up, get up make a stand. Take this foolishness away from me. Harming myself, my friends and family Give up, give up, while you can. Time to stand tall, be the change you want to make. There's nowhere to call home… What from me… Senseless actions for self serving interests. In the past that you've tucked away, is a truth you don't want to face. Swallow hard like you love the taste, as all you love slowly gets replaced. Stay awake. I've got to stay awake.

Nefarious 03:36
Justify those who have died, under a guise, suffering without a voice. Turning a blind eye to a tragedy, claim you're a product of society, resenting everything you used to be, and trading everything to feel nothing. Years laid in waste waiting to fade. We're going tired of feeling this weight. Yet we all still pass the blame. Nothing is pure. Nowhere feels safe. Reality deteriorates. The polluted mind, sifting through lost time, angry and confused, living out your use. Growing bitter cold, watch the world explode. Years laid in waste waiting to fade. We're going tired of feeling this weight. Nothing is pure, nowhere feels safe. We always knew it would end up this way. Reality deteriorates. This corroded form. (Cold and sedated.) Splitting your tongue. (Are you frustrated?) Chocking on the blood. (Your choice you've made it.) There's no rising sun. (On a dead planet, you fuck.) Push it all away, why feel it decay? Push it all away. See it through, know it's true. Justify…

Reaching for circumstance, our hands left empty. Searching within a glance, numb to what we see Content with ignorance blinded by belief. Striving for difference, from what used to be. We cannot carry on, our strength is wearing thin. We cave in! Stay in surprise, your star covered eyes have blinded you from seeking refuge before demise. Feel, the absence of doubt, there is no easy way out. The structures you've built are falling by the sound. Fall by the sound of the voices chanting for your demise. (composure broken) Purged of life, broken, empty, cauterized. (no more sensation) Will depleting unreceeding, careless with our lives. Tremble as the walls start bleeding, hollow as the fear we hold deep in our eyes. Stop talking like someone asked you what you think. Your overbloated tantrums just make my stomach weak. Will depleting… Only promises and lies. From all the ones we despise. Only one true thing in life, those underneath pay the price. As the candle dies, we surrender to the shade of night. Lost endeavors blocking out the cries. No one else cares. Holding way to tight to our own fears.

Boss Fight 03:35
Terrified, of a thought that has never left my mind. Nowhere to hide, all my demons following in stride. Where do I go? This life is the only thing I've known. Take control. Don’t let the madness take you over. I've got the power to fight it I've got the fire ignite it. (Don’t delay don’t piss this all away.) I'll earn the strength from my failures. I'm breaking out of the barriers. (Devastate. Leave nothing in your wake.) How did we even make it this far at all? We've been standing here for so long, in a world that's torn apart. All this loss and nothing gained. We've been here before but never again— never again. I've… How did we even… Question everything or die for anything. We're left on the brink nothing to believe at all. Nothing to believe. All this loss…
