Shrouded in Chaos
04:45
|
|||
Petrified as the dust sweeps through the air
A storm of artillery a darkened whispered stare
Memorized, confetti of flesh painting the earth red
Bombardment of shells
A rise of Deafening cries
The War Machines marks a brutalized rise
Drained, exhaustion fills the air
Weaponry, insanity, paints the earth red
Fallen brothers, death from above
A momentary silence covered in blood
A bleeding out of sanity
Will I awake or drown in this hate?
Human kind dementia a form of insanity
Falling down, further away
Into this abysmal world of death and decay
Desensitized with death all around
Decaying memories, lost and never found
The crackling, the flames fill the air
Atmosphere of death and despair

King
06:26
|
|||
Roaming a world of turmoil and chaos
Feeling the warmth of the flames
Lighting the torch that shows the way
Feeling nothing in my wake
I rule this realm
With its perilous spiked gates
I am the king
This darkness I embrace
Fear means nothing
It fails to bind my fate
I am the journey
These scares I embrace
Crossing further into the realm of the observer
The past in the dust of my wake
Conquer this world
for I am the one that can end
Like a swarm
Carrying me away
The world is held before me
In the hands of the awake
A trial of wonders
A feeling of pure....intoxication
I will gladly drown in this sea of tranquility
My bane, is the minds ever growing strain
The past and future, hold no strength
Holding oneself in chains to not break away
This bane will not be my mistake

Illusion
04:58
|
|||
Wither in this tourbillion
Enveloped in the kind of madness
That circles around a mind of doubt
Seep into the windowless vestige
Imminence plays what the present cannot
As stillness moves throughout the landscape
The scribe unmarked
Ensuing a god, it persists
Slay the messenger
A Candle whispering in the silence
The faint glow of embers
An embrace
Cold is the darkest embrace
A madness entwined
In desperation
Searching deep within
Spiraling into the abyss
In the parlor of scars
I scratch echoes into the flesh
And iridescent fog from my breath
That instills stories on the fragments of windows
Fragments
That have shattered
when I left the prose and runes behind
Vagabond
Singing sweet the play write
Blessed and fierce, torn like a family of paper dolls
I search in my mind
Fleeting words and lost lambs
That I sacrificed so longingly
An illusion

Dominion
04:09
|
|||
Surrounded
By a world of pretenders
Promoting...nothing inside
Projecting a world of lies
Further embracing this front
This facade, the false conversation
Sterilizing ...the truth
of what we have become
Within... this false dominion
We march towards a dissonant fall
As if walking blindly into the fog
We Assimilate to the mass hysteria
A dire need of pretense
A rendered essence of the self
This shelter has been built
Torn from the properties of awareness
This projection, spewing falsehood
Lies

Dimension Of I

Banner
05:47
|
|||
Walls crashing around
Suffocating relapse of time
awaken this inner turmoil
A dark illusion blinds the path
A perilous Endeavor
draining a reality I once thought real
Obtuse, is this failure
awaken engagement
Conquer this death....within
Trampling the order
Subjugate the dimension
Triumphant determination
Mind in disarray
Torn and shattered
left to decay
Arise
This severing will not break what's within
Determination enslaves such weakness
Thorns only shed splinters within.....the skin
Nothing shall shatter what's within
Determination enslaves such weakness
Thorns only shed splinters within
With time one can know
With a passion none can shake
A rock of certitude no can break
fearless is the triumphant of ones will
With a passion none can shake
A rock of certitude no can break
fearless is the triumphant of ones will
Death to those that stand in it's wake

Tormented Skies
05:46
|
|||
Turmoil spreads upon this deserted consciousness
The seas of the doubt, clouds an ever glimpsing vision
Tormented
Skies awake
Calling to me
Saying to me…
Rise above
This suffocating notion
Tormented Skies
Clouding my vision
I turn away
Forcing my mind to….awake
Forcing me to awake
Suffocating my will
A darkness creeps over me
Killing the progression
Time and time again
Patience is a virtue but it’s grasping at the straws
The path of the dreamer
The last light I follow
This path of the dreamer
Filled with perils and collisions
Keeping this light lit
This is the true test of strength within
Will we be swallowed by the darkness?
Will we survive this abyss

Engines Defined
08:12
|
|||
Empty...
This shell
Shattered are the contents within
Sprinkle delirious reason
devour your consciousness
Static state
Streaming dementia
For what is real
Is only a state of mind
Sharp shadows encroach
upon a vague sanity
Fear, the toxin burrows into the mind
Self..withering away
Clinging the inner walls of your flesh
Death is the only release
The Engines Defined
A storm of torment
Feeling the disdain of life
Awake, listen to the breathing inside
Engines Defined
It burrows into the flesh and skin
Engines of Hate
Listen to the fire within
Swallowed....in the abyss of the mind
Turning corners, a maze devised
Escape, this perpetual delusion
Broken sides of a hallowed design
Dimension of the I
An hysterical invention
A delicate abyss enveloping such
a thread sewn surface
My memory is rehearsed through emblems
And secrets that share a lively hood
I ponder the lust of no longer wandering
Existence among burning embers
