Witness 04:16
Witness In the mind we plant the seed of a soul society In your death you hold the key to life eternal Now your halos are falling down Embrace the pale crown Muhammad and Valkyrian, Father Christo Faith is how we fall (In atrophy we rise) Death is how we rise above the mortal Faith is how we die (Transcendent mortal cries) Death is how we prove eternal hearts forever Now the shell returns to the sand As was the path for man Hail Shiva and the Belphegor, Amaterasu Faith is how we fall (In atrophy we rise) Death is how we rise above the mortal Faith is how we die (Transcendent mortal cries) Death is how we prove eternal hearts forever Faith is how we fall Faith is how we die You are closer and closer to pleasing God With all the blood you spill, every prayer you pray You will be the resurrected, the pure of heart You are part of a greater calling Only you can aspire to rise above this hardship Your sacrifice is not in vain Burn, your kingdom lies in wait In all your suffering Anointed in the fires of piousness In the mind we plant the seed of a soul society In your death we hold the key to life eternal Faith is how we fall (In atrophy we rise) Death is how we rise above the mortal Faith is how we die (Transcendent mortal cries) Death is how we prove eternal hearts forever

Sons of Fire 02:54
Sons of Fire Sitting in the darkness lies the soul of olden man Driven by the brotherhood once born of ancient clans Desires to move forward but no means to take the leap Tackling the sun, he will rise again The birth of the sun in the hearts of the animals The savage’s kingdom; a place in the sand (Fire) We’re the sons of fire (Seeker) To live and die as one (Brighter) We’re the sons and daughters (Fire) One final kingdom come Flocking like the moths to the sight of open flame Bridges built to lead the man to father future’s claim Pushing for the taming of the lion and the sheep Demons from within slumber evermore The hearth of the summer of mankind’s existence The coming of winter hastens the plan (Fire) We’re the sons of fire (Seeker) To live and die as one (Brighter) We’re the sons and daughters (Fire) One final kingdom come A new philosophy to understand our visions We are the final hope for this world of tomorrow (Fire) We’re the sons of fire (Seeker) To live and die as one (Brighter) We’re the sons and daughters (Fire) One final kingdom come One final hope for this world of tomorrow

Indigo 05:14
Indigo Open eyes gaze deep into the infinite unending What a pleasant morning for a symphony Stretch your arms, reach deep into your heart’s understanding What a perfect day to be alive Burning on, to hell with waiting Walk the paths you’re meant to tread and don’t look back Your laws and your convictions still unchanging Walk the steps bare and errant before we reach our end Vibrant spirals of indigo The ebb and flow Of those who turned back before To hold the hand that leads us to ruin Is to deny what makes us most human Rolling on, what’s life but changing? The secrets hid in yesteryear are all too kind Vibrant spirals of indigo The ebb and flow Of those who turned back before To hold the hand that leads us to ruin Is to deny what makes us most human Now, we can still recover We can be the chosen ones Who make this world worth fighting for And now, we can still recover We can be the chosen ones Who make this world worth fighting for with the strength of the ocean tide Open eyes gaze deep into the infinite unending What a pleasant morning for a symphony Stretch your arms, reach deep into your heart’s understanding What a perfect day to be alive To hold the hand that leads us to ruin Is to deny what makes us most human Now, we can still recover We can be the chosen ones Who make this world fighting for

Unity 03:45
Unity Can you feel my heart? We beat as one, on and on In the circle of passions torn apart Without an end We will discover The means to be in unity forever Under the sun, our great comforter Under the waves we feel the cold and silence Our defiance to the harshness of our failed reality Such is unity Stubborn in its prose A fickle flower Do you long to bleed for your affinity? A coil unwinding your fragile walls The song you sing will bring you inner peace Under the sun, our great comforter Under the waves we feel the cold and silence Our defiance to the harshness of our failed reality Such is unity When the time comes, will you answer? Under the sun, our great comforter Under the waves we feel the cold and silence Our defiance to the harshness of our failed reality Such is unity

The Patriot 04:09
The Patriot Young and reckless Out to prove your world is guilty for everything Raise your weapon, raise your fists to spur the violence Let everyone sing With your target in your sights You'll pull the trigger day and night As old as time, you will prove There is nowhere left to hide The patriot will end the fight one final time ’Till next time, you will prove Fight your feelings Leave yourself with doubt and silence The call, is everything Leave no time for introspective moral ramblings You are the weapon we need With your target in your sights You'll pull the trigger day and night As old as time, you will prove There is nowhere left to hide The patriot will end the fight one final time ’Till next time, you will prove Dehumanize your enemy Their world is not worth saving Eradicate your empathy (Your empathy defeat) It's us and them; doomed to repeat. (We are doomed to repeat) With your target in your sights You'll pull the trigger day and night As old as time, you will prove When the dust begins to set Our bones will cry out after death, “do not forget” Win or lose, you will prove

Slave to Fortune Cog in motion turning to the rhythm Of a system bleeding All your dreams and your ambitions Mind, corrosion, repeat ‘till you fall in line You will not escape You are part of one great communion Capital, vitriol Elite construct abortion Free to fall, free to crawl A slave to fortune Chained by structures built on broken bodies Of your father's burden Centuries crushed down under foot for Capital, vitriol Elite construct abortion Free to fall, free to crawl A slave to fortune Capital, vitriol You each deserve your portion Irrational, tyrannical We own you now Will you survive today in this America? Mechanical messiah, industrial life Your corporate gods decide now Who lives or dies Where will you be standing when the hammer meets the stone? Your agency depleting when you have no more left to own The primal greeds of history, they will satisfy no more Embrace this new beginning and you’ll know, you’ll know for sure (Slave)

Hollowman 04:43
Hollowman I feel it splinter underneath my veins Dusk turns to day, my life is the same Taking me captive in this cell I made Try not to let my life slip away Releasing my hold, my will in this hollow man My heart in my hands, (Innervision) My hold, my will in this hollow man My heart in my hands The blood is rising, and the joy it brings Sight to slow motion, the order of things Constant euphoria in my slavery React to face the hand of the king My heart in my hands The emptiness of a harsh life abandoned My heart in my hands The emptiness of a harsh life alone (My heart in my hands) I saw your god (My heart in my hands) And I prayed that he could save me (My heart in my hands) But I bear his cross His nails inside me, thorns upon my head Dark engulfing hope I can’t stay afloat Dawn gives way to darkness I burn (My heart in my hands) I saw your god (My heart in my hands) Now knowing he can’t save me (My heart in my hands) My past is gone The deed is done now, I am finally free Releasing my hold, my will in this hollow man My heart in my hands (Innervision) My hold, my will in this hollow man My heart in my hands

The Ascendant: Eternal Vespertine divine, a solar love strong Cosmic tribes divide the universe song Broken hearts defy Sing the song of ender’s sanctity Raise the fortress strong with purity A hallowed king inside is dealt his crown Uncover ancient histories underground Into the void I extrapolate further I feel like you A mystery passing, an unwinding memory A point of view So greatly distorted, a lifetime exploited The looming of stars above you Until we can’t see what’s ahead I’ll cast fate down to the sea of shards Orion’s coastline down below Disgrace and the voluptuous heart Are monoliths beyond control I see the wolf and the man, the gods of the land In the palm of their hands we will fall Crushing vice-grip demands holding time’s feeble sands At the tip of the hourglass it falls (Breathe into) The soul’s ascendancy The soul’s ascendancy (Breathe into) The soul’s ascendancy Bridging you and me Arms raised to the heavens Mortal, immortal Ascendant, winding leaven Mortal, immortal Arms raised to the heavens Mortal, immortal Take from me soul’s possession Enter the portal of death’s resurrection again Into the void I extrapolate further I feel like you A mystery passing, an unwinding memory A point of view So greatly distorted, a lifetime exploited The looming of stars above you Until we can’t see what’s ahead (Breathe into) The soul’s ascendancy The soul’s ascendancy (Breathe into) The soul’s ascendancy Bridging you and me Don’t wait for me The eyes that seek The adversary deep inside We’re incomplete The puzzle of our minds We forsake our sons We all…

The Ascendant: Forsaken Below the shroud, eternity A vibrant vessel lay bequeathed The harbors of her majesty The hospice of our human liege In all our dreams we seek to leave this land The ascendant; man Kingdoms will rise Our machinery, discovery The sun will shine On all our tragedy, humanity the wise A beauty far more permanent Than any one or more could bear The seas and sky cry out, “embrace this land” The descendant Kingdoms will rise Our machinery, discovery The sun will shine On all our tragedy, humanity the wise Favor us in unity, deliver us Let’s embrace our destiny And face the brightest days Love is the meaning In this world without consequence You will be here for us Life's adventure’s begun There is no meaning To the wars we wage, songs we sing Happily ever afters If all we know is gone (All that we’ve become) Life is the meaning Of our presence here, to speak with fear Of those who speak in gospels And each new day we run (Into the sun we run) Transcending darkness Embrace eternity The very nature of humankind Discover cosmos; envision night Oh, mother planet, behold your child Embrace your destiny Your silent seas we cry Kingdoms will rise (In this age of man) Our machinery, discovery The sun will shine (And this, too, shall pass) On all our tragedy, humanity Vespertine divine

In Oblivion 03:59
In Oblivion As it was at the advent of time Endless, we separate from our design And the shadows instill pantomime The pulmonate mind From the birth of primordial beings Through evolution to oligarchy One last endeavor with reason we bind To be divine (Absolution, destination Vespertine divine) All we are is everything Your destiny will shelter you Deep within we’ll start again Embrace the end, and grow Earth and sand will fade away What’s meant to be, to walk on through Hand in hand, the earth and man Embrace the end, let go Serendipity, pleasure defined Unified consciousness, infinite eye Universe wanderlust now satisfied Give me a sign Skin of porcelain, baptized in fire Shedding this beautiful husk in the mire And the destiny we have entwined To be divine Take my hand and you will see That we’re just a starting point in it all Take this token, enter on in It’s the future of all our becoming (Take my hand and you will see That we’re just a starting point in it all) Absolution, destination Vespertine divine (All we are is everything Your destiny will shelter you Deep within we’ll start again Embrace the end, and grow) Earth and sand will fade away What’s meant to be, to walk on through Hand in hand, the earth and man Embrace the end, let go Take my hand and you will see That we’re just a starting point in it all (Take my hand, just take my hand Just take my hand, and join the void Enter in oblivion, embrace the end, and grow)

Pascal’s Wager So, here we are; the finish line We’re at the crossroads of all our lives And in our minds we play pretend Is this the beginning? Is this the end? We bare our scars We know our parts, The chips on our shoulders, and the fire in our hearts Our wayward ways are bound to end The only way forward is to find home again Was it worth it all, To acknowledge I am forlorn about it? Was it built to fall? Such a shame you can’t live on love This world is enough for me So will you still believe in me When nothing is like you remember? The sea of change is coming fast To drag you out to tide Everyone sees what they wanted to see in the moment Everyone falls from the pain from time to time Everyone wants to be loved and to be remembered So what’ll we do with the rest of our limited time? At the curtain call, Do the treasures of fellowship gone wither? Was it built to fall? All for one and one more for all, This world is enough for me This world is enough for me
