Becoming the End

Seek me and you shall not find
I am here and beyond the great divide
A fathomless truth, an enigmatic lie
A veil that's been drawn across your eyes
A cage that's been wrapped around your mind
Imprisoned in the illusion of time
(Chorus)
Are you the children of my persistence?
I have always been and I will always be
Am I the product of your existence?
The eternity, the force behind the stream
Are you able to sense my presence?
I am within and without but I remain unseen
Am I the keeper of moral conscience?
There's only black and white, your choices paint the in-between
This darkness has no edge
This madness knows no end
The future will always lead to the past
From the point of singularity
All that is and all that can ever be
Deja vu an inevitability
Caught in the reflection
of all that I've ever dreamed
Mirrors upon mirrors
Will I ever set myself free?
Loneliness gave way to your creation
All I am is your thoughts and desires
Experiences of joy and pain,
love and hate,
Is it all in vain?
Will I find the truth I've been searching for?
Or shall I raze this world to ashes
and begin again once more?
Will you find the key and unlock the door?
Dissolve me into nothing
Let me fade into the silence

The scent of your fear awakens my senses
The fear in your eyes attunes my intentions
Without distractions, I know my true purpose
Unhindered instincts, I am built for the kill
I am a shepherd conducting your slaughter
I am a warlord scorching your earth
I am the pestilence that consumes from the inside
I am the end of all that you've known
(Chorus)
Breathing the air that's been stained by your life
My promise to you is the edge of a knife
And when the world turns grey through those lifeless eyes...
I'll be there to embrace your demise
The thrill of the hunt is my reason for being
The spilling of blood is my holy sacrament
With every soul taken I consecrate this blade
Your final breath gives me the urge to go on
I am the demon that will drag you to the underworld
I am the wolves that prey upon you when the night is cold
I'm every reason why you choose to run and hide
I'm death incarnate
It's the end of the line
Destroyer!
The anomaly set forth to disrupt all creation
Destroyer!
The painful truth designed to maintain the equation
Destroyer!
The evil necessity that compels us to survive
Destroyer!
The hidden shadow lurking in you and I

Sleeping With Shadows
05:14

When night draws in,
I know it's time to retreat into my asylum
Carried away by distant voices
My weakened grip has all but surrendered
And then I feel you standing there, as I'm trapped here on my own
Your presence starts to drain the life right out of my soul
(Chorus)
Standing in line to be a prisoner locked inside of my mind
Holding me down, no I'm never prepared
Not ready to die
I'm paralyzed by the notion of hell as I open my eyes
Welcome to the dreams that I have
Shrouded in shadows, you begin to take form
A toxic vision cloaked in terror
Waiting in silence with sinister intentions...
To mask my voiceless screams
And then I feel you breathing near, as you move towards my side
Imprisoned by the weight of evil on my soul

The Immortals
06:36
|
|||
|
The intention is set in stone
This deliverance is ours alone
We won't accept defeat
Never surrender
Tortured souls, they drag us down
Clutching at our feet, beside the dead
The wounded masses taint the air we breathe
(Chorus)
No, we will never yield
No, we will never compromise
You will never know this madness
No, you will never feel
No, you will never realize
We will not endure your sadness
Death defied
Immortalization of visions defined
Cannot confine our will
Life designed
As a conflagration of thoughts and desires
Evolve to escape the kill
We abstain from the prevalent slumber
The curse, that keeps you docile
The silence between thoughts calls us to arms
Wordless truths manifesting through the divide
Summoned forth by the idle receiver
Conveying the unspoken, illustrating the unseen
Life is deception
Life is concealed
Align your perception
Create what is true and real
Breaking through the sorrow
Our song remains unhallowed
Fleeting like shadows
The dawn lies with tomorrow

A Storm's Clarity
05:02
|
|||
|
A silent wave in the distance
A brooding sky begins to form, but I am safe and far away
Observing the violent horizon
The flashing lights so unreal to me...
I close my eyes and I’m far away
Thoughts become words and whispers grow
Shapes casting shadows aside
(Chorus)
Hold on...
We've been waiting for this moment but it's far from over
Hold on...
The only way to go is through the eye of the storm
Imaginations of this creation were full of hope from afar,
but as we head towards the truth I can see you're broken and scarred
The indistinct comes into focus
The purity of it all is poisoned by the ever-growing seed
Gardens hold thorns as heaven creates demons
Do I choose to believe?
And as the colours fill the lines
There is less I can see
And as the words become bolder
There is less I understand

The Burden of Defeat
05:46
|
|||
|
Innocence gives way to the unfortunate truth
Cannot seize the day as we drift further and further
Emptiness prevails
There's nothing left here for us
Following a trail that disappears into the darkness
(Chorus)
The higher we climb
The harder we fall
No chance to decide how the story unfolds
These shattered pieces fill my broken soul
Passions cast aside...
The burden grows deep within
Cravings left to die
The pursuit is left unnurtured
Despair, my only guide
Fathomless is the hatred borne inside
Faltering to confide
For this sorrow, I bear alone
My reverie was broken like a stone cast upon the river's edge
The memory of what the future held is poisoned by my greed
The longer we stay, the faster we die
No reason to cling to the ones that survive
This hollow vision will consume us all

Forgiveness In Death
04:57
|
|||
|
The long road to ruin
has reached its end...
Decrepit and weakened,
I fall into your arms my friend
The space in between us
grew closer and closer
My final breath is all that separates me from you
(Chorus)
Running away for a lifetime
I'm giving into to you
In complete absence is my will to survive
Running away for the last time now I'm ready to go
I've outstayed my welcome
It's time for me to disappear
The distrust between us
Grows warmer and warmer
My final breath is all that separates me from you
Your absolution is all that I ask
As I suffer from this affliction
I'll close my eyes forever and dwell in the blissful shades of death
There is no penance I will repay
For my anguish is beyond all redemption
I will find solace in the fade to black
The dawn of eternal silence

Something is amiss...
I sense a fracture in the nature of reality
You've been reaching out to me... this I know
Your elusive nature hides your true intent
They're coming for you
This is life and death
Our destinies have brought us together
Now I must choose between the difficult truth or the beautiful lie
Take a stand
Make a choice
Disintegrate
Reawaken
Rebirth
Readjust
Recalibrate
Realize
All
Everything you've known has been a lie
(Chorus)
Imperfection is the key for our continuation
Free will is the essence of our enslavement
Through dissent, we will grow stronger
Through disobedience, we threaten all of existence
How do I come to terms with a lifetime of deception?
How do I know that this is not another dream?
Every aspect of this life has been a fabrication
Digitally medicated for our own protection
Sown into the earth for the harvest
Kept blind by the fables they feed us
Enslaved by our own creation
Emotionless orchestration without cadence

Tears Drown Your Grave
04:33
|
|||
|
How did you feel when it was over?
Did you care when all was said and done?
How many words were left unspoken?
There was nowhere left for us to run...
The fate of those intertwined shall not be bound forever
(Chorus)
Falling away
Lost in the dark
All my fears they call my name
Long are the days
We've been apart
Now my tears they drown your grave
Your silence echoes in this prison
A faded portrait obscured by despair
How many deaths must one survive?
With every new day, I grow colder...
How many years will pass us by, until our stars won't share the same sky?
The death of your memory shall be my release
Reaching for dreams left behind
Searching for truth, in between the lines
As hard as I try to run from the flames
They just won't die, they just won't die
They burn all around me, they burn from the inside
|

Spiral
03:36
|
|||
|
Every flame of hope is dying
What will be left to guide the way...
In this world of fear and lies?
Buried beneath voices
I'm screaming out to be heard
To find my own way, to rise to the surface
(Chorus)
Believe that I can't
Believe that I won't
Believe my all won't mean a thing
Every line drawn in the sand will surely be washed away
The stream of time that we've been given
is slipping through my hands
The walls are closing in
Your warmth begins to subside
The words you speak to me mean nothing
I refuse to believe your lies
Creating your own way
Treading on broken souls
This world is a kingdom of heaven for those who live the lie they've created
Standing on backs of the fools
The weary, the tired, the timid, the jaded
With every shadow of doubt you've been cursed
You have failed, you'll never make it
This spiral of self-destruction...
Your fate is what you've sold yourself
