Swallow The Sun
03:52
|
|||
V1
A cry rings out eternally
A planet’s shout, its dying plea
Forsaken by the ones She mothered through Time
Her very Brood (incites) her swift decline
C1
When the Big One comes
And swallows up the Sun
Well all along
Was the calm before the storm
V2:
Undoubted truth, the ghouls deny
Through brazen grins, they gladly lie
They rest assured, salvation waits for the few
Who hold the wealth to start The Lie anew
C2
When the Big One hits
And claims the hypocrites
Right where you sit
Was the calm before the storm
C1
When the Big One comes
And swallows up the Sun
Well all along
Was the calm before the storm

The Call
03:44
|
|||
V1: Sleep draws near you
And threatens all you love
She whispers warmly
That your efforts were enough
But while you slumber
Swaddled in your apathies
The children hunger
To be free
C:
Till each broken promise has been mended
Or the Faceless Mirror should fall
Till the final tyrant has been struck down
I will resist The Call
V3: Plastic person
With a plastic little life
You choose contentment
And a moral sacrifice
The Call cocoons you
Like a lifeless butterfly
Now difference scares you
And perspective burns your eyes
C:
Till each broken promise has been mended
Or the Faceless Mirror should fall
Till the final tyrant has been struck down
I will resist The Call

Reflection
03:06
|
|||
V1
Gaze into the mirror
Cold and clear
Cast reflections of a
Truth I fear
My metamorphosis
Presents a painful likeness
Could things be as they now appear?
C
This skin is burning with the
Spiteful scars that never heal
This face is turning and it’s
Poisoned by the life they steal
V2
My mind is anxious
To fall asleep
Exactly when this
Line of thought will creep
Into my consciousness
Sometimes I’ve welcomed Death
I’ve dug my nails in just to bleed
Breakdown
Not defined by reflection
Just a mental reaction
Not defined by reflection
Just a mental reaction
(Just a mental reaction)
Not defined by reflection
(Just a mental reaction)
Not defined by reflection
(Just a mental reaction)
Not defined by reflection
(Just a mental reaction)
Paranoia destruction

Entertainment
03:34
|

V1:
Turn on the light, tune in each night, drop out your life
Turn off your head, your hunger’s fed, forgotten flower child
What happened to the creed you knew while on the other side?
They put you on payroll and now your soul has been commodified
PC:
They pacify
And all the pawns comply
C:
ENTERTAINMENT - while they drain you of
ALL YOUR PATIENCE - psychological
MASS DETAINMENT - enjoy all your
CHARLES ENTERTAINMENT CHEESE, ENTERTAINMENT
V2:
Unmanned flight, missile strikes, we’re all alright
Automate, exterminate, and desensitize
They deplete your soul, gain complete control, psychic parasite
You will obey and wait all day, another Sunday night
PC:
They pacify
And all the pawns comply
Consume and wait to die
C:
ENTERTAINMENT - while they drain you of
ALL YOUR PATIENCE - psychological
MASS DETAINMENT - enjoy all your
CHARLES ENTERTAINMENT CHEESE, ENTERTAINMENT

Butcher's Blade
04:11
|
|||
V1:
Fear not your puppetmaster’s
False boogeyman
But rather apathy and
Your idle hands
Live by an obligation
To fight and thus
Sow not destruction, but to
Reap what we must
C:
Don’t take the path of Hate
Ruthless and unafraid
But would you lie in wait for
The butcher’s blade?
V2:
Will you seek out the weak and
Shield them from harm
Or in your hour of judgment
Lay down your arms?
Defeated hand to brow or
Defiant fist
Decide to die or simply
Cease to exist
PC:
Tread lightly
Lust for blood corrupts the heart
Torn slightly
A soul can split apart
C:
Don’t take the path of Hate
Ruthless and unafraid
But would you lie in wait for
The butcher’s blade?

Leviathan
02:19
|
|||
V1
Lying dormant, our distress erecting monuments to Pain
In long-abandoned corners, they will burn
They return in the form of a leviathan emerging from the Sea
Or a shadow from a single drop of rain
C
Rage
It’s time to stand and act your age
You’re gonna die inside your cage
(Unless you) Rage
V2
In the end, Liberation hides from those whose shackles hold
Through resistance, all we’ve lost will be redeemed
In a scream, our fears will manifest and surface lightly on our breath,
To dissipate like words suspended in the cold

Faceless Children
04:30
|
|||
V1:
Stone and metal fade into view
Drawing gazes to the sky
People run but his voice calls to you
Like a mother’s lullaby
PC 1:
Sudden feeling
Out of your control
Your body starts to rise
C:
Faceless children, voices screaming
In the back of your mind
Rabid creatures, tainted preacher
Just a matter of time
V2:
In his throne room, the children all float
The master chants songs of war
Visions of monsters who quickly approach
A pact with the devil is forged
PC 2:
Primal wisdom
Bestowed upon man
Your body starts to rise
C:
Faceless children, voices screaming
In the back of your mind
Rabid creatures, tainted preacher
Just a matter of time
Bridge:
It’s the moment of truth, now
The final goodbye
You must let go if you want to survive
V3:
Stone and metal fade out of view
Drawing gazes to the sky
C:
Faceless children, voices screaming
In the back of your mind
Rabid creatures, tainted preacher
Just a matter of time

Fruit of the Divine
Rotting on the vine
Low and overripe
Bleeding bitter wines
(Sip until you’re blind)
V1
Simple creature
Knowledge seeker
Come closer, my scion, drink with me, I love you
Drink with me, drink of me, I’ll hold you again
C
Fruit of the Divine
Rotting on the vine
Low and overripe
Bleeding bitter wines
(Sip until you’re blind)
V2
Soulful sinner
Joyless winner
Come closer, my scion, drink with me, I love you
Drink with me, drink of me, I’ll hold you again
C
Fruit of the Divine
Rotting on the vine
Low and overripe
Bleeding bitter wines
(Sip until you’re blind)
Breakdown
Closing your eyes
Parting the veil
Thinking you’re safe, but you’re under her spell
Open the door
Fall at her feet and accept your demise
Begging for more
Into the water and under the fire
Above and Below
Disavow Love and abandon Desire
Above and Below
Under the water and into the fire
Nowhere to go
C
Fruit of the Divine
Rotting on the vine
Low and overripe
Bleeding bitter wines
(Sip until you’re blind)
