Intro 02:02

The Fall 03:15
I am hatred a spawn of your pride I am vengeance allegiant by your side I am the impurity of your life I am the serpent constricting your mind I am your darkest desires profound and you will pledge yourself to me Peace is a lie for the dimwitted kind You lick my wounds when I'm weak As my minds digging deeper I am yours to keep This is the end, this is the fall The darkness in me will devour us all It's a silence, wily but yet so piercing Inevitable darkness lurking, distorting what is left of me The fire inside is fading, as life is flashing before my eyes As I am standing in the shade of death I know it is only within My head My thoughts are deceiving My head My thoughts are deceiving me
3.
Exiled 04:59
Exiled Fuck yourself all of you worthless drones stand up tall and take control Fight your way through lifes anticipations Fall out of line, enlighten your mind Your vision is covered in the blackest of dust They are all out to get you there's no one to trust Stuck in the treadmill with the worst deck on your hands The first one's the fool, allegiant accompanied by death What will your epitaph say? That you were a good little soldier? You rather please than defy What will your epitaph say? that you were just one among many? You were born to comply Bite the hands that no longer feed Just Believe in yourself and take the chances life presents Pursue your dreams til the end We live while we learn we love and we burn Set the world ablaze All that you know you have read in magazines Row upon row with responsive human beings all that you've seen has been angled through TV Row upon row... Fuck! Don't censor my reality Take this pill so you no longer need to feel all that you are is just a cog in the machine Break free Refuse to be a puppet cut the fucking strings It's time to start a riot and we will no longer be herded, diverted be treated like tools Exiled Carve your name into the history Break the chains of autocracy Just Believe in yourself and take the chances life presents Pursue your dreams til the end We live while we learn we love and we burn Set the world ablaze
4.
Depletion 03:58
I've been tattered and torn I was scattered and scorned I felt the need to see the other side of things no one dared to see(It made me) Vigilant and introvert my whole surrounding turned perverse It's like a fierce hate in a tender state, my fear creates these walls I can't escape I lived my life in overdrive toughened by my inner demons I lived my life in overdrive The sands of time is running out All things must come to an end we can't escape it My past my fiends my fears it's time to face them This is my final trial To subdue my own denial I will Rise be strong again Into death We all transcend So what to do with all the scars? Just let them fuel my darkened thoughts? Or let them be revealed with my head held high for the world to see sometimes you're deafened and numb, but you won't succumb The deepest core of your soul will always endure I lived my life in overdrive toughened by my inner demons I lived my life in overdrive The sands of time is running out All things must come to an end we can't escape it My past my fiends my fears it's time to face them
5.
Dead Inside 04:32
Time, frozen here in time with memories consuming me There is nothing left to feel, nothing but apathy Bring me to life Bring me to life Unable to feel or heal I'm dead inside Bring me to life Bring me to life Unable to feel or heal I'm dead Inside You always say it'll be allright but you're not the one who's falling Somewhere someone can bring me light til then I'm the one who's falling Shame, hiding all my shame this ain't the man I used to be My reflection so obscene eating away at me You always say it'll be allright but you're not the one who's falling Somewhere someone can bring me light til then I'm the one who's falling

We have lost all our sympathy as the sickness breeds We have no faith in humanity you are the virus and we're the vaccine We won't bleed we're no longer your slaves wipe away the deranged We won't debate this time we'll destroy, erase, improve We are the punishment that won't be contained We are the evolution let nature have it's way In the ashes we'll stand and gaze upon the vermin that failed This is an era of moral, justice and order that we will maintain With the blindfold the sword and the scale only the pure shall prevail We are ready to lead our army of thousand that never lost faith We are the punishment that won't be contained We are the evolution let nature have it's way All shall burn in our cleansing fire We stand firm until the end We will march through the funeral pyre We will contend for the cure This is a call to arms
7.
Who is your God? I am the equalizer adjusting misguided beliefs of the divine wiseacres propagating, agitating a violent new breed They all serve different masters but their goal is just the same gaining influence, making profit, dominate their fellow man Where do we go now? What do we know? What kind of answers are we looking for? Search within and you might find Some peace of mind Our universe is subjective no need to be a slave Don't follow in others footsteps Live your life free from shame It's time to pull the curtain To reveal the imperious swine For repressing our true potential For bargaining with our lives Fuck your gods, fuck your prophets, fuck your hypothetical theories Underneath your suits you bleed just like me Fuck your laws, fuck your leaders, fuck your corrupted government agencies Underneath your suits you bleed just like me Where do we go now? What do we know? What kind of answers are we looking for? Search within and you might find Some peace of mind Who is your god? We are god Until the sun burns out

Fires Ignite 03:31
Hunted and cornered at the end of the earth But still you dare to bare your teeth Allthough you feel a shiver down your spine something prevents you from fleeing The prophecy will be fulfilled as we gather round Our heritage can't be denied let the fires ignite A liberation of anger and pain to complete our ascension The apparition of the third eye let the fires ignite Emerge Are we the hallowed are We the scourge either way we'll burn this world Are we the hallowed are we the scourge either way we'll burn this world Hunted and cornered at the end of the earth beaten and soon to be deceased Violent lives ending violently This is the price that we pay The prophecy will be fulfilled as we gather round Our heritage can't be denied let the fires ignite A liberation of anger and pain to complete our ascension The apparition of the third eye let the fires ignite
9.
I've preserved my defiance through your hordes of denounce I won't give in to submission nor your hateful beliefs I will stand when your system fails see the sun ascend upon a brand new day where the secrets unravel our fate United through strength and defiance nothing can conquer our souls We are the serpents, a trickster unbound, uncontrolled We will tear down their walls You envy the brave and you spite them the deviant you want to equate Vultures that vindicate, striving to smother us all We will tear down their walls Through the eyes of a scorner I'm in the pillory And the need for a scapegoat will always persist The dimwitted trivial pace, the illusion that we all are safe the blindfold that cover our eyes we refuse to be governed by lies Censor me, disdain me but you will never prevail thou shalt never prevail United through strength and defiance nothing can conquer our souls We are the serpents, a trickster unbound, uncontrolled We will tear down their walls You envy the brave and you spite them the deviant you want to equate Vultures that vindicate, striving to smother us all We will tear down their walls

Revelation 05:43
As I rise from my decay I've found my path no longer astray The enlightenment has come what has been can't be undone and I am tired of always being afraid Of all the seconds passing by me Just give me one that counts The void keeps surrounding me I must accept what I cannot change We are frozen in time as your hands reach for mine A symbiosis divine we are Like cherry blossoms we'll fade all we have is today Until we wither away It's the journey that is the destination We are frozen in time as your hands reach for mine A symbiosis divine we are Like cherry blossoms we'll fade all we have is today Until we wither away You are my guiding light a shooting star shining bright
