2. Catalyst

Catalyst

Embark, the step is the path
Is the journey, is the way

The thought is the hope
Is the conscience, is the change

Driven by reflection
Hardened by rejection
Of self-deceit and denial

Conviction takes the embers
Compassion fuels the flame
Resolve reveals the essence
Of empathy untamed

A whisper to a battlecry
A spark to a blaze
Drips to streams, to rivers
To oceans of righteous rage

Catalyst

Scale the mountains of your grief
Bring your banners to the front

Embark, the step is the path
Is the journey, is the way

A whisper to a battlecry
A spark to a blaze
Drips to streams, to rivers
To oceans of righteous rage

Let the hollow retreat to the void within
Indifference – the mortal sin

We must erase
We must erase
Fear is a lie

3. False Shepherds

False guides
Black lights

Grim, pitiful and helpless
In anger towards yourself and the world
A cold violent rush against whatever
To soothe your misguided souls

You are shovelling your hate
Upon a wretched pile
Of ignorance and fear
In self-denial

Then comes the helping hand
Another pariah
A treacherous pied piper
To fuel your toxic fires

False guides
Black lights

Have we lost our minds?
In loss of a humanity that binds
Borders, flags and pride
For a world without colours we should strive

You keep shovelling your hate
On your pathetic piles
With ignorance and fear
You feed your self-denial

Bombed out of their distant homes
They seek relief
Only to become a scapegoat (here)
For all that's wrong with you

Then comes the helping hand
Another pariah
A treacherous pied piper
To fuel your toxic fires

4. Resurrection Of Wrath

Paralysis, apathy
Numbing away the pain
Downpour of misery
Washing away the stain

Suffocation of common sense
Until seduction lasts
Annihilation of sloth
Until the anger lasts

Resurrection of wrath
Harness the grief of the world
Stab indifference right through the heart
This is our self-made fate

The only true response to this world
Is not depression
The only true response to this world
Is wrath and compassion

Don't let your compassion be confined
Let your anger redefine
Let your hearts shine

Overload of global hardship
Haunted by digital rage
Awareness of abysmal injustice
How can we live?

Resurrection of wrath
Harness the grief of the world
Stab indifference right through the heart
This is our self-made fate

5. Carriers

Relief opens jaws
Relief opens jaws

They suffered assault
Trauma, persecution
They have seen a misery
That knows no company

Emerged in chaos
Encompassed by death
Countless tears
Eroded your fears

These ships need no fuel
They run with souls of grief
With illusions of relief
Overfraught with visions
Laden with hopes and dreams

So load the ships
With carriers of despair
For gates of gold

So load the ships
With carriers of despair
Helpless souls in heartless throats

So load the ships
With carriers of despair
Fortune fools the bold

These ships need no fuel
They run with souls of grief
With illusions of relief

Emerged in chaos
Encompassed by death

Relief closes jaws
Relief closes jaws

Before our coasts
We let you drown

Let you drown
Just like that

So load the ships
With carriers of despair
For gates of gold

So load the ships
With carriers of despair
Helpless souls in heartless throats

So load the ships
With carriers of despair
Fortune fools the bold

6. Rid The Earth Of The Human Virus

We have come to conquer
We have come to burn

We have come to conquer
And rule the earth
Subjugate all life
We have come to siege
And drain the earth
Extrapolated birth

Death squad lifestyle
Egoistic and vile
Eyes too blind to see
Mindless lifestyle
In anemic denial
Of the shadows of our deeds

Rid the earth, stop the cherish
Let not live, what should perish

We have come to conquer
And rule the earth
Subjugate all life
We have come to siege
And drain the earth
Reversed life and birth

We have come to smother
Nurturer Earth Mother
We have come to burn
The future of others

Rid the earth, stop the cherish
Let not live, what should perish

7. Sunset Of Mankind

Camps, fences and horror
Clandestine reign of terror
Precious lives – the innocent cry
Sunset of mankind

"Grace and renown are dead"
Upon this ground of death
Grass will never grow green again
"Grace and renown are dead"

Guilt disguised in dogma
Trapped in false sublimity
Seduced by thoughts of grandeur
Which are less than dust

Moral depravation
Burial of mankind's soul
No grave for your guilt
No grave for your guilt

Grass will never grow green again
Upon this ground of death

Beauty and innocence
Maimed for all eternity

Moral depravation
Burial of mankind's soul
No grave for your guilt
No grave for your guilt

8. Lifeless

Your prey is waging war against themselves
Taking the blame
Bearing a cross that should be yours
Living your shame

Is it sleep you're sleeping?
Is it air you're breathing?
Is it blood you're bleeding?

How can you maim a life just like that?
How can you crush a soul without regret?

A rainbow of life
Shattered under your darkened skies

Why don't you pierce yourselves upon a rusty pile?
And rid the world of your vile?
No heart, no soul, only senseless meat
Failure doomed in need

Wounds can be healed
But guilt cannot be killed

For your prey
Judgment day
Is every goddamn day

Your prey is waging war against themselves
Taking the blame
Bearing a cross that should be yours
Living your shame

Why don't you pierce yourselves upon a rusty pile?
And rid the world of your vile?
No heart, no soul, only senseless meat
Failure doomed in need

9. Eruption In Reverse

"Depression is a long heavy cold of the soul"

No hunger, no thirst
Eruption in reverse
No reaching out
All lights are dimmed
All colours skinned
Burning out

A peace that was
A mind that wars
My rainbow shines in black and white

A peace that wars
A mind that was
My rainbow shines in black and white

The soul an empty house
Its owners headed south
To warmth and peace
Took with them all relief

No hunger, no thirst
Eruption in reverse
No reaching out
All lights are dimmed
All colours skinned
Burning out

Orphaned by the spirits
Wanting to be freed

The soul an empty house
Its owners headed south
To warmth and peace
Took with them all relief

Orphaned by the spirits
Wanting to be freed

10. Torchbearer

Trivial spectrum in the earth
Meaningless towards time
A drop in the ocean
Existence without a shrine

Love and praise the moment
And cherish the things that are
Embalm, entomb your past
And ignite your future
Torchbearer

Meaningless towards time?
Heritage without a shrine?

In amidst the anguish you bear the torch
To vacant realms yet to forge

You thought you silenced your demons
Put your dreams to sleep
You thought you rid your passenger
Made the darkness weak

Be yourself the torchbearer
And be yourself the path
Be yourself the torchbearer
And be yourself the dark

In amidst the anguish you bear the torch
To vacant realms yet to forge

You bear the torch

11. Deathless

You are waging war against yourselves
Taking the blame
Bearing a cross that is theirs
Living their shame

Taking the blame
Living their shame

Like a ghost you swim
These forests of flesh
With no one saying anything
Lifeless unrest

You can kill a sea of demons
But not a horde of skeletons
Your soul may be darkened
But will always shine brighter than theirs

Curse the fates – storm the gates
Blast your steam into the skies
Fight or be fought, choose or be chosen
Do or be done to

You are waging war against yourselves
Taking the blame

Under this tombstone of pain
Still lies the fountain of life

Curse the fates – storm the gates
Blast your steam into the skies
Fight or be fought, choose or be chosen
Do or be done to

You can kill a sea of demons
But not a horde of skeletons
Your soul may be darkened
But will always shine brighter than theirs
