Existence 04:40
I was born in to world at war This is my existence Since conception, I have been your bane From the womb, you have feared my name You sought to devour the child, to end it in infancy You have feared what I’d become but you will not destroy me I may suffer at the cruelty of your hands My body may break but it’s not yours to take Legions face me. Demons chase me I was counted for the slaughter, yet through this I’ll prevail Too long you have shadowed my steps Too long you have tasted the air for my scent You preyed on my humanity to bring your reign to eternity You waged war with those I love, and claimed it as collateral Legions face me. Demons chase me I was counted for the slaughter yet through this I’ll prevail I will prevail I’m stronger than these chains. I’m stronger than death’s blade I know your reign will end Your reign will end

Travesty 04:34
I am the bearer of the blade in your back I am the beast dragging you to the black I am the oppressor of the weak I am the siren leading you to wreck I am the poison that you breathe The bringer of doom, the bringer of doom The engineer of all you despise I am disgrace, I am murderer, I am perverter, I am deceiver, I am destroyer Yet you forgave the traitor and forsake the work of my hands I am the wolf, I am the wisp, I drove you from home, I led you to drown I am the abomination, the twisted shell of a man The travesty of humanity, I am worthy of death, I am worthy of hell I’m deserving of fire. Please light the pyre I’m deserving of fire. Please light the pyre Can I come back from this? Can I come back from this? Have I ever abandoned you? (nothing will sever me from you) Have you ever fallen too far from me? (not the blood of innocence, nor flames, nor pestilence) No matter the depth in which you dwell (no height no depth, no angel no demon) Nothing (shall keep me from you) is beyond my reach my son But I’ve sewed with the blood of the innocent Feed my crop of corruption The master of slaughter, the father of horror Would you spare the wolf that devoured your flock? Oh God I’ve fallen so far My Grace is yours My Grace is yours Cut this stone from my chest Burn this root within my flesh Cut this stone from my chest Burn this root within my flesh Cut this stone from my chest Burn this root within my flesh

Void 05:22
I’ve been here for years, finding rest in nothing I’ve found my peace at rock bottom where I can’t sink any further I run to the pit, I seek the void, embrace the dark I hoped nothing would find me in this abyss How wrong was I? Torrents of the mind, it flowed and rushed yet it never stopped The tongue of thought never saw rest, spitting poison Birthing the grotesque from the smallest seed fear spawned panic I’ve become a servant to fear, my master is unrelenting What do you want from me? Do you enjoy my suffering? I can’t out run the ruler of the synapse How do I escape this? I won’t last the night: the sun has died, so will I The weight of this force, it comes, it kills, it’s tyrannical Yet it’s never seen I’m but a child: seeking escape, from hells prison What chance do I stand against the strength of such evil? Every waking moment I bring myself closer to my own doom Can’t get out can’t get out can’t get out, Can’t get out, I can’t escape Let me out, let me go All my life I was searching for a reason to live but sick of getting pounded to the ground I’m sorry I make you feel down but I can’t live like I’m downing in my own blackened sin Thank you for the times you stuck by me but now it’s my time to go so you can move on with your life I’ll see you on the other side You will see the dawn, you will see life You will remain unforsaken There is peace in resistance, there is peace in existence You will overcome oblivion You will stand stronger than the weight of death

Freedom 01:32
I leave the remnants of who I once was No matter the strife I will never fold Hindsight is such a beautiful thing; I was never alone I was never forsaken Life must go on From here on out, I am a free man Free to live, free to be This is the moment where I move on This is my first step out from the void The purpose of my life is greater than myself This life is not my own My future is set in stone

My Return 03:16
Awakened from my sleep The sound splits my casket My once decaying body surging into life Reconstructing as I reach the surface I hear my name; get up and come home Home Abandon the sea, forsake your graves For I hold the key to eternal life The throat of the ocean opens Releasing her captives to life The dead are no longer contained Hades, your judgement has come Upon the ashes of your kingdom I will build a new earth Now give up your dead I’ll reduce your gates to splinters, your walls to dust I will burn your doors to charcoal, your chains to rust I’ll reduce your gates to splinters, your walls to dust I will burn your doors to charcoal, your chains to rust In the darkest corner of existence no place for you will be found I’ll tear the fangs from your mouth, the sting of your touch will never find another soul Abandon the sea, forsake your graves For I hold the key to eternal life The dead are no longer contained Hades your judgement has come Called from my sleep, never again to taste your razors edge Alive forever; deaths defeat, deaths demise Eternity brings forth destructions last day Grim will drown, grim will drown in the fire Abandon the sea, forsake your graves For I hold the key to eternal life The dead are no longer contained Hades your judgement has come

Depth 03:34
The depths of my heart cannot be reached, my spirit and soul you cannot breach A bottomless pit of love and light preparing you with the will to fight The darkness of the world that grips all things, that manifests itself in diamonds and rings Will bow before us when we stand and scream, they will never defeat us The love and light is so supreme I’m losing myself in this place that I call home Follow me to the surface Leaving the old for the new I need you here I need you here I need you here to help me, show the way I’m choking on death I need to breathe and be free Drag me from the pit … I’m pleading As I look up I see you staring at me seeing all my wrongs I feel ashamed with what I’ve done And all of the mistakes I have made I just want you to forgive me so I can move on with my life, please bring forgiveness I need you here to help me, show the way I can’t do it all on my own I’m choking on death I need to be free Follow me to the surface My fallen self sinks to the depths I rise alive renewed, remade All I can see is you in my vision The world no longer holds me down I am free from darkness and one with … Light
