Enter the Netherworld
05:15

the night falls silent
a life force screams
under a darkened sky
stars and moon immersed
the wind blows cold
moving the subtle leaves
yet nothing here surrounds
but faint sounds of dusk
breathing in the air
of an entity within
that stands with me
but resides in the shadow
feel the fiery embrace
upon the jaded soul
watching as the hand
possessed it burns
through hazy smoke
and golden flames
the chains emerge
like iron tentacles
entering the netherworld
were chained and bound
holding on ever so tight
in darkness we reside

Flames of Oblivion
06:07
|
|
||
|
we are burning to the ground
and you do not see the path
as the flames of oblivion
engulf the world around you
sit and watch as it licks the sky
the heavens overlook
at a condemned world below
mindless and ignorant we stand
follow the sheperd
like a mindless drone
a species co-created
into genocidal slavery
see the chaos in our eyes
yet the reflection of self
yields nothing behind them
the blindness of our kind
follow the mass lines
over the edge of infinity
to feel nothing but void
because theirs nothing left
mindless were consuming
to a point of unbecoming
detached from our higher self
a path taught well obeyed
we are burning to the ground
and you do not see the path
as the flames of oblivion
engulf the world around you
sit and watch as it licks the sky
the heavens overlook
at a condemned world below
mindless and ignorant we stand

Beyond the Burning Stars
06:54
|
|

|
corruption bleeds from the pages
of the book rewritten again
the blood stains the ground ahead
a life given not chosen
where it ends we don't see it
where it begins we cant unveil
stuck in a paradox of existence
of which there is no moving forward
held by the psychological chains
dare not to speak a sound mind
held back by the conditioning
behind a wall forever bind
no way to speak your thoughts
or are they even truly yours
constructed systems made to rule
the mind was never ours
common people mark common place
like cattle built for another purpose
no free speech to be had here
or you will be dragged to meet your fate
stars come and stars go
we live in this buried moment
with no real understanding of what is next
of if we can every truly attain it

Becoming the Wolf
06:30
|
|
||
|
The blood trickling on frozen ground
another lost soul fallen in the snow
no consciousness is barely seen
just follow the great divide
the hand ticks by in trance
following the time in your gaze
where nothing matters anymore
just like the animal we grazed
slowly raising our heads to hear
the clock has struck the 13th hour
wake from your internal slumber
see the light pierce the veil
unlocking the age of knowledge
no longer locked down within
rising from the depths below
breaking the chains of the herd
becoming the wolf i see it
the hypocrisy is so clear
every second of existence
a future so bleak and unclear
spitting out the lies told upon
a world turned black to its core
opening our eyes to the beginning
becoming the wolf forevermore

Blood of the Tyrant
06:26
|
|
||
|
Decades pass with their stronghold
crushing oppression into our souls
we are bleeding from the inside out
but for all the wrong reasons
march to the orders given
pointed fingers of misdirection
to keep an obedient line
conform to the path of slavery
Decades crumble with their strongholds
crushing depression into our souls
were bleeding from the outside in
but for all the wrong reasons
march to the orders in front
point their fingers of misguidance
to keep an obedient line
conform to the path of a prisoner
bloodletting sacrificial slaughters
were in a world of numbing existence
a gel that sticks to the self
of everyone throughout eternity
feel the uprising of the sword
ready take aim and strike
cutting down the tyrants reign
bring the blood of them all

Buried & Forgotten
05:53
|
|
||
|
once we walked the earth
with the pride of honorable men
a vision of instilled truth
set our hearts path ahead
the burning hunger for unanswered questions
through the quest of fading time
of a valued life journey
in a past time long ago
the ages have long passed
now we begin to count the bones
of what we will never be or have
blinded and decaying in a wasteland
a life without meaning
is a life without purpose
to search answers held out of reach
to return to the beginning of time
to lose touch of the fading soul
to fall to our mortality in death
come forth the black cloak
nightshade veils my eyes
solitude within the mind
a dark gate unlocks ahead
wolves call a mournful tune
as the casket creaks towards
the ground hollow and moist
lowered to the eternal sleep
dampened forest is silenced
an unnamed soul returns home
gates lock in the distance
the key never truly existed
buried and forgotten
