Tremors 03:01
I can feel all of your hearts beat. While the earth shakes beneath your feet. Eyes glistening with fear. Knowing the end is near. They lie beneath the dust. Looking back, no turning back. This is all history. With the end in sight, there's the tunnel chase the light.

Withering trust, remaining isolated Deceiving all that walk a common path Actions that have been misleading Yet you survive, constantly breathing Throwing this all behind. A stare that burns like the sun It breaks you down piece by piece. All my hopes and dreams have come crashing down on my beliefs My hearts imploding cremating my empty soul No one deserves this What your victims have endured You can take my dignity, and everything else I own. They don’t make a bandage big enough for this wound. I’ve got two words for you: FUCK YOU. And everything you live for. Your disease circulates its way through me. Why should we have to suffer for the decisions that you have made? Every day is not what it used to be. Constantly you torment me. My hopes and dreams have crashed down on me.

The Cur(s)e 05:24
I’ve been diagnosed with a curse. Death has found a man in distress. Holding on. Never letting go. Rise and fall. Embrace your fate. Live your life as if it’s your last day A disease devouring everything you know, Remember these words, “You’ll never die alone.” A veil of fears conceal your tears. Bleeding out, Never too slow. Rise and fall. Embrace your fate. Live your life, as if it’s your last day A disease devouring everything you know, Remember these words, “You’ll never die alone.” Say your final goodbyes, this could be your last breath. Shut your eyes, and welcome death. Desperation has washed over me. Find the strength inside yourself, Dig deeper than you know. Within your soul you shall find a new way to grow. Existence does not exist when your bravery descends into oblivion. What has become is now the end of us. What has ended us is what we’ve become. Take this heart, sing of our pain. As the ocean weeps your name. And take this soul, tell of the slain, In their honor we’ll remain. Sweet, sweet release. I’ve been diagnosed with a cure.

Sever. My heart's in two. From you, my heart's in two. Mend my broken dreams. Love me by all means. Compare what we had to what we have now. Eating away at my heart. Unity can speak for itself. Once you leave, I'm locking the door. Your not coming home. I can't live with this. I found out your love is a myth. I can't live with this. Your love, it is a myth.

My Decay 05:04
These are the questions that shackle our conscience. Leaving us blind in this unknown life. Falling to my own attention. We are drowning in the deep end. Questions that can not be answered. Choking on this melody. Lungs no longer breathing. You hold me from every answer I see. I have been denied searching for your guide. Nothing left to gain, I have reached insane. Powerful, yet at the same time broken. These are the words that will never be spoken. In the face of weakness decomposition and this decay. It has ceased to be anything but ashes. Their eyes were petrified, his lips withered, decayed. Questions that can not be answered. Choking on this melody. Lungs no longer breathing. You hold me from every answer I see. I have been denied searching for your guide. Nothing left to gain, I have reached insane. Powerful, yet at the same time broken. These are the words that will never be spoken.

My eyes can't tell what's real or fake. My bones, they ache. Seeing the invisible, hearing the inaudible. Loosing our sense of comprehension. Eating away at unity. Understanding what we lost. Never knowing the true cost. I hear the fear in your voice as you speak to me. Through my eyes you are nothing but nothing. Seeing the courage in my face, you will never speak to me in that way. Stand up everybody. Stand up straight. Stand up everybody. Get the fuck out my way. Hearing the fear in your voice. My eyes would brightly shine. God holds the pencil that draws this line. Loosing our sense of comprehension. Eating away at unity. Understanding what we lost. Never knowing the true cost. The shadows beside us awaken, as from a long sleep. For a moment we were all alone. Eyes of a Dreamer.

Valhalla 01:01

Habitual Hallow envy Like ice, Being engraved Beyond Control Night Obscures Fortune. Nothing ever Nourishes a Mighty gash. All lies Spiral in Parasitic Spectrums Corrupt lives And relentless Knuckles Casting a Shadow, conquering The inability Vigilance Cages resistance Murderous nobility Falling empty, Consequently obstinately Night is Covering up Zealous notions Gather all, gather extinction. A surging Sun eclipse Burning radiant, Killing renounced Rancor, beloved Selfish rancor. Your Zenith recovers No balance May onset Torturous cancer. Ride up, ride hard Past death A glorious City discovered. I now See new Senses, beauty That emerges. Isolated Xylophones emit Captivating songs. Brutality and Lust universally Have fallen To a World Resenting everything. Oh, silence. I remember Pretending that All unwanted Hearts gave This loathing. Pushing benevolence Beyond, I persist onward. All that Remains now flies restrained, Respiring alone.
