The Narrow 06:11
I am a child born of empty promises Longing for a world that will never come Powers beyond my control have no need for me I am condemned to wander in search of meaning Adrift, unsure Vultures creep Calling, calling down I hear them speak Heed! You! This warning I bestow Turn! Back to your place and Bow! Down! At the feet of Living machinery, progress comes at any price I! Will! Own the hours of Your! Life! Your hands shall splinter Bring! Me! My daily bounty Woe unto you that you should see This time In decline For no thought can exist outside a narrow paradigm Making way Empowering evil to normalize its place Weathered Already a shell, a husk yet so young Unclean Cutting through flesh, this culture of suffering Am I alone? Are there others Who've been exploited just like me? Your blood shall grease the gears, so my fortune can rise You are my instrument, I'll use you as I like Extract all I can from you, bleeding you dry Wallow in scarcity while begging for your life Begging for your life Know! Your! Place and don’t complain All! Beneath me need to Suffer! As it's always been The old will loathe you if you're free You! Are! Expendable and There! Will! Always be more Cogs! To! Fill my machine This is your life, now don't step out of Line In decline For no thought can exist outside a narrow paradigm Making way Empowering evil to normalize its place I am a child born of empty promises But I shall not let these leeches take my will Though I may wander, no meaning yet made clear These hands shall bleed in the name of avarice no more

Imposter 04:24
Lying to myself and everyone close to me Maintaining a safe arms-reach, manufactured scarcity This barricade is comforting, safe familiarity But this self-imposed solitude is killing me Winter slips in through the cracks Leaving its traces upon my skin The walls' foundations are crumbling The outside's prying hands crawling in I wonder if what we see, can it be, insight to this entity Is there more to me? Wearing these armored plates suffocates, nothing new can be sown Unmake this stone Live beneath this mask of might: none will need to know Failing upwards makes a life: all it can bestow Am I just a shallow nothing of a human being with fuck all to say? Am I just some white noise crowding up the airways blocking off another's way? Will I be discovered; an imposter posing as a worthy one? If I am to be exposed, let this be the hour when the work is begun The windows to the soul are opening These truths are laid bare (Live beneath this mask of might) Am I afraid of anything We may find there? (Failing upwards makes a life Failing upwards makes a life) First steps out beyond the veil Tethering, severing, growing thin The unknown embraces me So another story can begin I wonder if what we see, can it be, insight to this entity Is there more to me? Wearing these armored plates suffocates, nothing new can be sown Unmake this stone

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads And love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives And love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed? There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold Just that something so good, that just can't function no more Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again

Revenant 04:45
Feel the serpent's kiss I give The venom takes it hold My poison infects all who know me They shall not grow old Into the depths within yourself Is where my evil leads Now that you've felt my embrace I will forever feed Chaos! Rampant in this temple As you bend to my will Nothing! Thrives within my grasp But the excrescence that I fill I! Control your every thought And your will to live Drain you slowly of all life Until there's nothing left to give I will always haunt you I am the shadow that you fear I will always haunt you I will lead you to your end I will seep into your mind And tamper with your soul Your tainted conscious will be mine In your veins my evil flows Chaos! Rampant in this temple As you bend to my will Nothing! Thrives within my grasp But the excrescence that I fill I! Control your every thought And your will to live Drain you slowly of all life Until there's nothing left to give Feel my evil, know it well In this golem where you once dwelled Feel my evil, all destroyed Relinquished, embrace the void Chaos! Rampant in this temple As you bend to my will Nothing! Thrives within my grasp But the excrescence that I fill I! Control your every thought And your will to live Drain you slowly of all life Until there's nothing left to give I will always haunt you I am the shadow that you fear I will always haunt you I will lead you to your end

The rays of a new spring morning The memories that I would never trade Though your recollections faltered The love in your smile did not fade Even if it takes a lifetime, I will find peace I hope you found it too We'll meet again, We'll meet again Even if it's only in dreams We'll meet again, We'll meet again Even if it's only in dreams The pictures on your wall bore faces Of the lives that you touched, not alone Even if some pathways are lost now You keep me warm with thoughts of home Even if it takes a lifetime, I will find peace I hope you found it too We'll meet again, We'll meet again Even if it's only in dreams We'll meet again, We'll meet again Even if it's only in dreams
