We can't outrun the ending to mortality,
were closer to the end than we know
The deviation subtle as we drift from the bubble
Slowly chipping away at all the looping at play
We're glistening with nitro-glycerin
A kindling in batches, A match head that catches
Always one step away from burning it to the ground
The "Hero's Dream" - forever a tyrannical instrument
used to make our people bleed
The epitome of entropy, the enemy's supremacy
Administer the opiate to keep the people listening
We're glistening with nitro-glycerin
A kindling in batches, A match head that catches
Meet our leader (Death) the fire-eater (lies)
Let's burn the dreamer's vision straight to the ground
One stroke,
Burn all of this
From finger tips, to apocalypse
Then here’s for burn,
The fire we start,
And here’s for the pain
that singes the heart
Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall, the worst of it all...
Then here’s for ash,
Beginning anew,
Here's for the devil
And steeling his due
Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall the worst of it all...
From spark to the field
The ember embrace
Never will yield
She's leaving no trace
Miles of smoke
Death in the air
How violent we choke
No-one worthy to spare
We
Are
Glistening
With nitro-glycerin
The vision reset
with a charred silhouette
A gift to the fake king
Demagogue in the making
Thinning the coffers
Filling the coffins
Reflections of Pompeii inside idyllic apartments
We're glistening with nitro-glycerin
A kindling in batches, A match head that catches
Meet our leader (Death) the fire-eater (lies)
We're clawing and choking on the tail
One stroke,
Burn all of this
From finger tips, to apocalypse
Then here’s for burn,
The fire we start,
And here’s for the pain
that singes the heart
Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall, the worst of it all...
Then here’s for ash,
Beginning anew,
Here's for the devil
And steeling his due
Toast to the madness, the truth, the thrall the worst of it all..

Owl, disguised
Trapped in the glass
Pinned to the rock
Spinning through space
Searching for clues
Always violent
Owl, disguised
Destined for death
I am the arm.
I sound like... this.
Is it past or is it now?
I awake
She spoke soft, inviting me
"Do you recall the message?"
I fumbled through notes, and stuttered
my words
"Do you recall?"
The oracle lies
We are like the dreamer
who lives inside the dream.
I'm not afraid to die...
I'm just afraid to live...
In this world I made
So little words
So much to say
I can't remember my name
This is the water,
and this is the well.
Drink full and decend
She whispered to me,
That this was a dream,
one for the wise,
A game for the fool.
We are like the dreamer
who lives inside the dream.
I'm not afraid to die.
I'm just afraid to live...
In this world I hate
Is it past or is it now?

A Mantra of Oppression
08:37

I shed tears to commune,
But your sorrows a desert,
This path to nowhere still requires travel
The slaves are coming for their masters
In darkness he awaits
The blade now subjugates
Orchestrating and making disasters
The great empty is so heavy
Let’s fill the void with the bones of those who chained us
We build the wonders and horrors in equal measure
A post modern post mortem outcome
A culture defined by the have nots
Orchestrating and making disasters
Let's fill the void with bones.
We’ve come so far now
The dream will continue to beckon
But soon the nightmare recycles, returning
From bondage, your masters, who take and draw quarter
We've come so far now
The nightmare continues to beckon
(Trade one ounce of blood for one ounce of blood)
With two rounds, my back against the wall
You answered the call
Repackaging and selling you the suffering
Wholesale, bulk sold,
Discounting and planning the debt, another reason we chose to forget
Repackaging and selling you the suffering
Wholesale, bulk sold,
Hoping to recoup what we bet
Another trigger finger, Russian roulette
How many times have I wanted to grow, I wanted to change, I wanted to feel
I fight to be free and free to go fight
(I don't want this anymore)
Not under the boot, the edge of the knife
Lives lived, fires lit but we're killing the dream
A syndrome in stock, homes warm to receive
Load the gun with two rounds
We build the wonders and horrors in equal measure
We’ve come so far now
The dream will continue to beckon
But soon the nightmare recycles, returning
From bondage, your masters, who take and draw quarter
We've come so far now
The nightmare continues to beckon
(Trade one ounce of blood for one ounce of blood)
With two rounds, my back against the wall
You answered the call
Both bullets for you and me
Break the cycle

An unelected concierge
Blood red sky, toxic air
Faces stained with shades of bruising
Imposter debonair
A psychological hold
Uncertainty sold
We buy it again and again and again and again
Don’t look down cuz it’s in sight (Disendowing the host)
Don’t look down cuz it’s in sight (Purge the net to the gross)
We sing to believe, but dance in a graveyard
And natures taking it back
It took all of this to know
You speak to deceive
a rhetoric graveyard
Now we’re taking it back
Soil consumed with our boots and our blood,
A thousand to one; reclaim our place
Fuck the odds
Escape to the rooftops, we run
The famine upon us is a feast for the forest
Let’s split the difference
We sing but dance in a graveyard
It took all of this to know
You speak to deceive
a rhetoric graveyard
Now we’re taking it back
Let’s take it back!
The reward of audacity was the chance to steer history
Say adieu to the new
“Hello?
Come in…
Who are you?
Do you see me?
To the world: we can hear you
To the world: we say adieu
The flowers will grow by the blood that you sow
The mud calls your name.
Tradition of dead generations weighs as a nightmare on the brains of the living
The flowers will grow by the blood that you sow
The mud calls your name.

You see it all turning
Corrupted and torn in two
Like parasites taking a victim
Tormenting, askew
Scattered and paralyzed
Frozen down to the core
False prophets idolized
Miracles twisted from lies
(War)
Famine rules the land
That were pillaged and worn
Cities crumbled in fear
foundations trembled
Deities were prayed upon
But they showed restraint
All that is here (here)
All that remains (remains)
Is a distant memory
(We're Trapped)
Bring the power back to restore
Bring the balance back to home
This world is our only world
Like the fog engulfs all
Cascading darkness
It feeds across all
We can’t go back to the start
Or force our way to the end
We must take charge of it all
It’s your world
Bring the power back to restore
Bring the balance back home
We can’t go back to the start
Or force our way to the end
We must take charge of it all
This world is our only world.

To discover what's inside
Doesn't take a monster to rip it out
Just a matter of searching and trying
To define what it is that you
Desire
(You're) Consumed,
(We're) Estranged,
(So) Entwined,
(Alive) Tear down
(Fear) Repair,
(Hate) Reform,
(Choose) Tear down,
(Divide) Your wall
Rediscover the unknown, this day inside the flames
It waits in the unknown, push the darkness inside of night
Don't hideaway
It's another day
Don't hideaway
We scream the shame
(You're) Consumed,
(We're) Estranged,
(So) Entwined,
(Alive) Tear down
(Fear) Repair,
(Hate) Reform,
(Choose) Tear down,
(Divide) Your wall

Look in the mirror
What do you see
Different versions that you
Thought you would be
Tearing apart or torn in two
Unable to see the person in you
Scattered battered
Worlds apart
Confusion delusion
No trace or mark
Picture your side
Divining anchor
Disconnect and undermine you
To sink in to
This field of Dreams
In the beginning
Unable to be free
In the beginning
We’re born different
In the beginning
These violent delights have violent ends
But in the end, we are the same
It’s the same… the ending’s the same
(We’re worlds apart)
Scattered along
Tormented
Flayed upon
Knocked noose
The ending is the same
(We’re worlds apart)
In the belly it awaits
Spitting blood
Open eyes
We can see the ending is the same
We’re trapped
Poison generation
Create devastation
We’re destroying the unnatural
Invoking your collateral
Broke inside but can’t be free
Feeling that there’s no release
Trapped forever broke inside
Wished you felt forever alive
In the beginning
Unable to be free
In the beginning
We’re born different
In the beginning
These violent delights have violent ends
But in the end, we are the same
