The fall of all the liars
The rise of all that’s called him
Visions of salvation in the hands of all who need it
A plight upon the land
A diamond turned to sand
The sky has spoken
We walk amongst the saved and broken

Equality Is an Illusion
04:00
|
|||
|
Equality is an illusion the masses desperately seek
No one can ever be identical
These inherited differences that set us apart makes us who we are
Why does everyone want to be the same?
Identity is part of one’s life
We spend decade’s searching to find out who we are just to throw it away
We claim to be individuals but fight to fall in line
Society has based its ideals in fiction
Claiming to move forward we must cling to uniformity instead of understanding
This is not how reality works
Wake up from the slumber you’re trapped in
Rewrite the pages of this worlds false narrative
Don't you let the pain and the shame trap you into being something passive to the masses
Break the bonds so your no longer captive
Learn to fight and you learn to take action
Stand for who you are
Everything will never be rooted in equality
There is only one destiny we all win death’s lottery
No one has control over the fairness in there life
But you can stand for who you are
Win with the cards that you were dealt
Win with the cards that you were dealt
History has taught us that conformity has gotten us nowhere
Wake up from the slumber you’re trapped in
Rewrite the pages of this worlds false narrative
Don't you let the pain and the shame trap you into being something passive to the masses
Break the bonds so your no longer captive
Learn to fight and you learn to take action
Stand for who you are
Acceptance will make the oncoming revelation that much easier
The collapsing construct
we will not make it out
This reality is not what it seems
Open up yours eyes and see who you are

Manipulation by Design
05:35
|
|||
|
Why should I apologize for the monster I’ve become
No one apologized for making me this way
Left alone in a desolate hell
Shrouded by deceit
Not knowing a future of jubilation
Vehemence but a veil of lies
Corruption surrounded by these thorns
This burning ice that deafens the soul
This cooling flame that blinds my senses
Warmth I failed to recognize as it’s something that I never knew
Restrained by constant fear
Rejection has become a valiant companion
A vizard to blend in with your façade
This disease ridden mind of mine is the result of your actions
If only you could understand it
Understand that I did not choose to have this
Un-break my mind
Un-break my mind
Reverse the time so I can live this life
This life of mine
You swore you’d be there for me
But that was a fallacy
This clarity has become reality
Un-break my mind so I can finally be free
False beliefs that should never have been given
Injected with your sense of stability
Molded into the remnants of a forgotten ego
The vivid evocation of my being further fragments my sanity
Un-break my mind
Reverse the time so I can live this life
This life mine
You swore you’d be there for me
But that was a fallacy
This clarity has become reality
Un-break my mind so I can finally be free
Who knew that abandonment could be so freeing
My future has been released
This new found perception
Will guide me to rise from the ashes
I am the one who survived in your shadow
I no longer accept your betrayal
I deny you space in mind
I will sacrifice all of the essence
Even if it means I break
I will not wish death on you because you're already dead to me

Survivors Torment
04:10
|
|||
|
No matter how many righteous deeds I commit, my past failure lingers
Frozen in that instance I can’t seem to let go
I guess I was never meant to be your hero
Imprisoned in my own mind to relive your fate over and over again
Do I want a way to escape or am I looking for you to take the blame
Stagnant in a situation of your own design or is it mine
I can no longer tell
Is this situation of my own design
To scared to face the issues that only I can comprehend
Because I could realize that I’m the reason, the reason that you ended up dead
These emotions I can’t begin to explain
These emotion are driving me insane
You are the cause to it all; you were the cause to my fall
I’m spiraling rapidly I can’t seem to climb out
The space between us has forever run out
Grief fills the solace I once had
I wish I could wipe the system
I walk a wayward path to solve this crisis
You were everything to me
Why did you ask me to take your final breath
I can’t tell if I am moving forward or if I’ve regressed
Broken does not describe how I am
One day I hope I can put myself together before I waste away in the end
Why was I made to fulfill your last request
Was it out of love or out of spitefulness
Did you want me to carry the guilt of your death?
Your casket holds the remains of the turmoil I sustained
I wish I could replace you
Replace you in that grave
This casket I deserve it more than you do
I wish the earth would embrace me
So I could relinquish the memories I have of you

Plight of the Wicked
04:11
|

I sought deification of my mortal soul
The ghost of innocence departs for now I take control
My fate has been ordained
Reprisal cast away
Danced with the devil now my destiny awaits
Dishonor thy father disparage thy name
Pay with agony
Perish in flame
Perish in flame
Eternal imprisonment legacy shamed
Shattering mirror my fear was to blame
Fractured spirits seeking refuge in this void of time
Diminished sanctum turned my back now I must reap what's mine
Fate befalls me now there is no restitution
Consummation of existence
Judgement day for every human
I exalt you only now for I was far too weak
The helmet of salvation lying dormant at my feet
Permeate the great divide
Permeate the great divide
Pain befalls my mind
Cast the pearls before the swine
Existence now bereft of light
No chance to make it right
All consuming torture with no end in sight
Boiling flesh consumes my body as I reap my fate
Fate befalls me now there is no restitution
Fate befalls me now this divine retribution
Existence now bereft of light
I exalt you only now for I was far too weak
Existence now bereft of light
Damnation will now forever be mine

Darkness into Daylight
03:34
|

Falling down
A deep pit of misery
Pull me out from this darkness down underneath
My mind escapes
I can barely breathe
Searching for the light but it’s too dark to see
Got confused with this false misconception
Dragged down to the core with miscommunication
I know the path has been hard for me
But why did you let me burn so easily
Losing hope and sense of stability
Falling further than my mind can see
Falling into the dark
I’m becoming senseless my mind is falling apart
My mind is fading it's getting harder and harder to keep me from hitting the ground
Nothing has ever been easy for me
You had to go and turn your back on me
I’m crawling out from the darkness this time
Why did you leave me out to dry
Getting help from this comatose that's kept me in this black hole
Falling into the dark
I'm becoming senseless my mind is falling apart
My mind is fading it's getting harder and harder to keep me from hitting the ground
And this nightmare is over I was coming to you for closure
I'm coming to gripe that this is over
This is over!
No tricks
Straight line
I'm turning darkness into daylight
No sleep just a straight line
I’m turning darkness into daylight
No sleep just a straight line
I’m turning darkness into daylight

The ashes of the scorched earth embedded in the sky
We execute the prophecy
Life filled husks with arms raised high
Praying to be engulfed in the light
Will we choose the mark or suffer for eternal life
Misery loves the scent of the diseased
Thorns pierce the flesh of the righteous and the weak
Voices scream into the endless air
These voices will scream of life or despair
I am heartbreak I am love
I represent all those who’ve fallen
The light of life within a world of good and evil
A symbol of my destiny
My nature captured in the immortal scenery
Chances offered but not taken
Warnings given but never listened to
The sirens sound with the rulers return
Pleas of emancipation echo through heavens corridors
Will our names be in the book of death or life?
I am heartbreak I am love
I represent all those who’ve fallen
The light of life within a world of good and evil
A symbol of my destiny
My nature captured in the immortal scenery
As your world fades and the books turn the page which will have saved your name
Death awaits us all, inescapable
Death awaits us all, Inescapable
Name
Will your name be written on the page of eternal death or life

I will never forgive you
Is what I told myself because of all the anger that I felt
You left me a wreck, you left me in shambles
Everything about me you dismantled
You laughed in the wake of my suffering
In my dreams you kept haunting me
But he showed himself to me and told me that everything will be ok
Endure the heartache endure the pain
The second definition of faith
Believe it all, deny him nothing
So stick by your faith and know its ok
You left me alone
Can’t you see what it’s done to me
It wasn’t your fault
But look what it’s done to me
I mourn but you won’t return to me
I felt alone for so long because you were taken from me
But he showed himself to me and told me that everything will be ok
Endure the heartache, endure the pain
The second definition of faith
Believe it all, deny him nothing
So stick by your faith and know its ok
All I have known is the way I have been
In a world I don’t even know
Is there a way for me to be free
From the bondage that holds me
Believe in his word because he said everything will be ok
Believe his word, believe his word, everything will be ok

The Creed of Blasphemy
03:29
|
|||
|
Dimensions augmented into the translucence of the eternal reality
Years of civilization coagulate into entropic devastation
Humankind trivialized in a seemingly infinite battle between factions of power
Transcend a god-like essence
Exhume the cadaver of traditions long forgotten
Perception shrouds
Divine intellect
Dimensions unforeseen beckons tribulation
The prophecies been cast asunder
Eternal war
Millenniums of anguish
Internal dichotomy
Consumed for those he vanquish
Microcosmic organisms claim heir to the cosmic throne
Hypocrisy and apathy reign supreme
One chance one way, the systems have been long decayed
Cry for the martyr don't let this struggle be in vain
Don’t be afraid just take his hand he'll lead the way
Unsheathe the blade, the belief remains
Instincts repressed
Centuries of decay veiled by materialism
The warrior sheaths his blade whilst the philosopher weeps
Manic apparitions or a glimpse of divinity
Cosmic entities triangulate this point of inception
The frailness of beings gives way to the probing of consciousness from celestial beings
The ethereal substance that serves as the bond between fades like a candle to the sun
To the sun
One chance one way, the systems have been long decayed
Cry for the martyr don't let this struggle be in vain
Don’t be afraid just take his hand he'll lead the way
Unsheathe the blade, the belief remains
Hate for hate
Love for love
War for war
Blood for blood
City streets filled with the painstaking cry of a system long decayed
Suffering unfathomable eternal consciousness slipping through the gates of perception
Rendering the illusion of comfort

Filled with the scars from what I’ve left behind
A tragic story of unfit designs
You are the author to my story
So is this ending I face a new beginning
I know
This feeling all too well
An affliction that refused to heal
A life deemed worthless by fate
Bound by these deeds that I wish to escape
Sabotaged by a past that wants to see my world collapse
His grace he lent out a helping hand
And with a gentle whisper told me to stand
I surrender this worldly façade to become the image that you have made
Lord I ask for your salvation
Filled with the scars from what I’ve left behind
A tragic story of unfit designs
You are the author to my story
So is this ending I face a new beginning
Running and hiding I thought was the answer to combat this dark essence
All it did was drown me under the surface
A shadow so dark that held me in place
As tears of regret hit the nothingness
A light appeared on the straight and narrow
And showed me you are my peace
As you raised me to my feet
No longer filled with the scars from what’s left behind
A tragic story that no longer plagues my mind
You are the author to my story
I now know this ending I face is a new beginning
Lord I live by your salvation
I declare in this place that you are GOD
Christ I live by your grace
I declare that I am saved by your name

Restoration of the Soul
04:04
|

|
No longer do I walk the broad path
I walk the straight and narrow
The price of death has been paid
Unearned forgiveness cast upon the spirit
It was inevitable that my ways would succumb to change
Wickedness has been purged from the flesh
A blemish made perfect only by your grace
A fallen creature restored to its intended design
Life has been given abundantly
I have faith in the king so no need for me to wish
I stand tall in who I am so what you see is no myth
My surface stable I’m not moving even if the earth shift
My life was turned around when the Lord rose me from the crypt
No longer do I have a heart of stone it was shattered to pieces
When I decided to accept the name of Jesus
I do my best to abide by what the word preaches
I repent when I lose sight of what the Lord teaches
Devastation
The world confident in its ignorant belief that it could dethrone you and pass judgment
I reject its influence and stand steadfast ready to combat its authority
All creation will bow; will bow upon seeing your gaze
The winds traversing the globe will cease upon hearing your name
The mountains will crumble and the earth will shake
As the trumpets sound and we are screaming your name
Though still a sinner, I’m a sinner saved by grace
Cleansed by the baptism of the spirit
Released from the claws of temptation
I fight in the army of the kingdom
God you are the catalyst that deviated me from perdition
Stripped bare, my soul has been offered
My transgressions forgiven
Wisdom bestowed unto me, I navigate this worldly maze
Death no longer has meaning because of the act he committed out of love
All creation will bow; will bow upon seeing your gaze
The winds traversing the globe will cease upon hearing your name
The mountains will crumble and the earth will shake
As the trumpets sound and we are screaming your name
I carry my cross and walk with you as you command
No tribulation can stop the might of the holy lamb
The world’s judgment has no power to lay waste to my path
I pick up my cross and walk with you
I picked up my cross as he walks with me

You are the weak that wants to be strong
You are the strong that’s not strong enough
Lay seeds of devastation
Lay siege to the fallen
This is a battle
The light against the dark
