Hate Plague
06:05

It starts a seed
sowed by those who seek control
as you feel it spread
your eyes are opened
We've clawed our way through the dark
to reach this point of realisation
to escape from tyranny
we must create through hate a revolution
Blind to the masses
they've brought us this plague
a disease unseen by naked eyes
lives wasting away
So we fight
for the chance
to
break these bonds
slaves
that think
that they are free
Numbers
gather
to the cause
the war has begun
to break the throne
sacrifice must be made
for generations of freedom
some will die today
A nation infected
by a plague of hate
the only cure is
a forced mutiny
a nation infected
by a plague of hate
that bleeds the land
of all it has
So we fight
for the chance
to
break these bonds
slaves
that know
they will be free
Numbers
gather
to the cause
the war rages on
as the throne crumbles
sacrifice was made
for generations of freedom
some have died today
A nation infected
by a plague of hate
the only cure is
a forced mutiny
a nation infected
by a plague of hate
that bleeds the land
of all it has
Storm the gates
destroy their kingdom
everything they took for granted
take back what is ours
You
will
suffer
as we
break the throne
and take back what is ours

Lifeless invasion by an
army of the unliving
no emotion for remorse
they strike with precision
a battle of intelligence
artificial against organic
only one can survive
this is war
they feel no pain
no regret as they break us down
this day is theirs
the creations now rule the creators
oh the irony of the situation
the things you own end up owning you
all the materialistic values of the world
have lead to its end
a battle of intelligence
artificial against organic
only one can survive
this is war
they feel no pain
no regret as they break us down
this day is theirs
the creations now rule the creators
they feel no pain (our creations now rule us all)
no regret as they break us down
this day is theirs
our creations now rule us all
our creations now rule us all
cold and calculating
one by one they hunt us down
humanity is outnumbered
start counting your days
they feel no pain
no regret as they break us down
this day is theirs
the creations now rule the creators
they feel no pain (our creations now rule us all)
no regret as they break us down
this day is theirs
our creations now rule us all
blood meets metal
a war of creation
only one can survive

Into the River
04:41
|
|||
as you walk through the shallows
of this
blood soaked river
ignoring the signs
and you
keep going further
without a single thought
you pass the point of
no return
and then before you know it
its too late
struggling and writhing trying
to get your head up
above the current but you
are constantly dragged back down into the
dark mass
that is pulling you away
weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind
and you cant escape
weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind
this is the prison you've made
a river of voices;
your diminishing conscience
while your actions drag you further
into the water
and all of a sudden
a gasping rush of
realisation
that floods in too late
so you turn back and start
struggling and writhing trying
to get your head up
above the current but you
are constantly dragged back down into
the dark mass
that is pulling you away
weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind
and you cant escape
weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind
this is the prison you've made
you have created
as you sink
you look back to the surface
only realising now

Autophobia
05:04
|

I'm lost
absorbed in this nightmare
but there's no waking up;
this is how we live
alone
we can barely stand
we don't
know how to stay in
control
fearing every lie that
my own
mind will create
the fabrication of
a reality that is
truly non existent
but nonetheless is
still a prominent
fear as my reality
is defined in
my own mind
i know my reactions are
unfounded
these overwhelming feelings are
insane
but the rules that my mind has
created
they govern my response at
an unconscious level
rendering
any intellectual control
entirely powerless
leaving nothing but
primal instinct in
these situations
as my vision subsides
i make an attempt to regain self control
but what is not lost cannot be gained
such is the nature of fear
and as the realization begins to come to light
the line between reality and thought begins to fade
causing a toxic mix of misfortune
loss of self control and fear
I'm lost
absorbed in this nightmare
but there's no waking up;
this is how we live
alone
we can barely stand
we don't
know how to stay in
control
fearing every lie that
my own
mind will create
the fabrication of
a reality that is
truly non existent
but nonetheless is
still a prominent
fear as my reality
is defined in
my own mind
as i look at my reflection
i see myself morph
and feel sanity
release
the grip that kept me up
sent falling down in to
the depths of space and time
to a place that cant be real
i wont accept that my existence
is now bound to this dead place
one of unwanted self reflection
explain to me control
from the outside looking in
as my vision subsides
i make an attempt to regain self control
but what is not lost cannot be gained
such is the nature of fear
and as the realization begins to come to light
the line between reality and thought begins to fade
causing a toxic mix of misfortune
loss of self control and fear

Planetary Collision
04:26
|

forget all you know
a forced acclimatization to
this foreign world
a war not of politics or race
but life itself
we aren't welcome
as we've been warned
we are the few that have chosen
to debate our terms
as we adjust to our surroundings
and observe the land
it becomes obvious that
the way of life is not as
different as we thought and
that this war is merely a
chance for the
powers to grow and
expand their greed
how do you choose a side
when there is no morality
welcome to
our war
of worlds
as we all come to this
realization
we wonder if our so called opposition
feels the same
how can difference cause
such devastation
in the end we are all the same
our leaders sit back and ponder
while the brave men die
carrying out their wishes of
expansion while they
betray their own
forget us all
this is no righteous conflict
this is a civil war
as we adjust to our surroundings
and observe the land
it becomes obvious that
the way of life is not as
different as we thought and
that this war is merely a
chance for the
powers to grow and
expand their greed
how do you choose a side
when there is no morality
welcome to
our war
of worlds
as we all come to this
realization
we wonder if our so called opposition
feels the same
how can difference cause
such devastation
in the end we are all the same
don't blindly follow
the beliefs that they have handed down
question every choice that
they have made to gain their crown
don't blindly follow
the beliefs that they have handed down
question every choice that
they have made to gain their crown
don't blindly follow (welcome)
the beliefs that they have handed down (to)
question every choice that (our war)
they have made to gain their crown (of worlds)

yield no ground
mark out all of your
boundaries
set them in stone
prepare your sacrifice of
blood ashes and bone
whether it be
a weapon or a tool
use his blessing
to protect what is yours
your potential
is limitless
your resolve
now set in stone
now that you have no
boundaries in your life
take no prisoners
show them your worth
define
all of
your own
boundaries
sacrifice the offering
to gain the
favour of the gods you seek
dig the hole and bury all
the blood the ashes
and the bone
seal the worship
with sacred stone
as you were destined
to define boundaries in your own
life
you draw the line
allow
no dictation
struggle
on no more
take control
the gods are with you
your enemies
will cower in your presence
they must tread lightly
as you are blessed by the divine
because you have no
boundaries in your life
take no prisoners
show them your worth
sacrifice the offering
to gain the
favour of the gods you seek
dig the hole and bury all
the blood the ashes
and the bone
seal the worship
with sacred stone
as you were destined
to define boundaries in your own
life
you draw the line
allow
no dictation
struggle
on no more
take control
the gods are with you
terminus
give us strength
remove limits
set us free

Inversion

look into yourself
recursive dysevolution
involuntary removal from yourself
out of body actions that describe
the instinctual intelligence
that defines us all
you find yourself
retreating into nothingness
dont let go
or you will lose yourself
to an inversion of your fading mind
somehow
you've risked it all
so now
you fall apart
torn down by rogue thoughts
triggered by this
inversion of yourself
as you
fight your own
impulsions
you realize that this was your own fault
you
now know
there is no
recovering
from this grave you have created
free
your mind
from
regression
adapt and change
look into yourself
an unnerving process of
nerve fibers unraveling
falling apart while you're
trying to keep
the straight face
that you show us all
you find yourself
retreating into nothingness
dont let go
or you will lose yourself
to an inversion of your fading mind
somehow
you've risked it all
so now
you fall apart
torn down by rogue thoughts
triggered by this
inversion of yourself
as you
fight your own
impulsions
you realize that this was your own fault
you
now know
there is no
recovering
from this grave you have created
free
your mind
from
regression
adapt and change
look into yourself
your mind is lost
look into yourself
