1. Remaining Eternal

Left as a notion
Point black eternal
It still remains
But it leads to nothing more than this now

We bleed, we bleed
Nothing more to life than that
It's what we've got and
I say it's our comfort

The blissful tempting
Provocation lain before me
It's hands embrace
Squeezing

Life astray
Here I stay
As it disappears

For all the times that I've been lost
Time runs through my hands
For all mistakes made at my cost
Turn the glass with sand

Inside what's left
The skin's too thick to move
Corroded sympathies
Will make you disappear

We fear, we fear
Nothing more to life than that
It's what we're left with and
I say it's our

Life astray
Here I stay
As it disappears

For all the times that I've been lost
Time runs through my hands
For all mistakes made at my cost
Turn the glass with sand

Give me the strength to uphold what's me
Let me see through their eyes of deceit
Always running, still I'm running
Never going to stop

Life astray
Here I stay
As it disappears

For all the times that I've been lost
Time runs through my hands
For all mistakes made at my cost
Turn the glass with sand

2. Flame To Life

Fail to trial
Place new bets
On the other side of regret
Fool the cheat
Kill what's left
On virgin ground
Redeemed

Fragile bliss shows stress within
Live the nightmare
Be aware
One last call
A final scare
This is what' left

Grinding my way through it's blackened skies
This is the moment I've come to despise

Machinery fuels the flame of life
Organic shape will pacify
And all our pain falls back on sorrow
Bleed with me

Fading image mirrors life
Reflects my inner strength
Born insane, anomaly
On dying ground

Grinding my way through it's blackened skies
This is the moment I've come to despise

Machinery fuels the flame of life
Organic shape will pacify
And all our pain falls back on sorrow
Bleed with me

Fallen from grace
Now standing tall
Draining what's left
No one expected this failure
Time has come, behold

This is the moment I've come to despise

Machinery fuels the flame of life
Organic shape will pacify
And all our pain falls back on sorrow
Bleed with me

Grinding my way through it's blackened veins
This is the moment that we all hail

3. Blood Of Emeralds

Creating mindscapes of a dream
Everlasting, divine, profound
The promise shines in the well of hope

Tear it down and kill the king
Where does it end, I see the end
On the threshold of your lies, becoming god's eyes

Deception, your mission
Leads the way to your demise
Diversion! Iscariot
Your time has come

Blood of emeralds
Stains of sacrifice
Your time has come
Plained affliction
Became what I despise
Beyond forgiveness you strayed

Dissecting memories from the past
Non existent, washed away
They plunged into the mire of fears

Reconstruct the image past
Where does it end, I see no end
Your revelation is foreseen, the fallen godsend

Deception, your mission
Leads the way to your demise
Diversion! Iscariot
Your time has come

Blood of emeralds
Stains of sacrifice
Your time has come
Plained affliction
Became what I despise
Beyond forgiveness you strayed

Creating mindscapes of a dream
Everlasting, divine, profound
The promise shines in the well of hope

Blood of emeralds
Stains of sacrifice
Your time has come
Plained affliction
Became what I despise
Beyond forgiveness you strayed

4. In Solitude Entwined

Just take it on
And walk the line of time
Let shadows fall and spin the world
Throw away
What you hold inside
The riddle shows you the way

Silence
Loss for words
To break the silence
The feeling
Is so familiar
Deprived I awake

Still the beating heart to rest
Far away from ending strife I lay
I rest in my release

Believe it all
And embrace the fact of life
Trust the glowing hope to shine
As I fade
The memories erase
All I need is a sign

Silence
Loss for words
To break the silence
The feeling
Is so familiar
Deprived I awake

Still the beating heart to rest
Far away from ending strife I lay
I rest in my release

5. The Perfect Shame

True reflections never fade
Cold expressions will prevail
Call upon the ever-holy flame
I sense the shame

Face it
Reach for it
I die out here for a while
Leaves me useless

Refinement as we know it
Is thrown away and stolen
As I turn my back to the storm
Seal my fate the last blow

Face it
Reach for it
Exceptions I will break them
My perfect shame

Mistaken and untold
Now I believe it

Your treason
Deceiver
It's time for me
To trust all my instincts and carry your blame

The siren seem so hollow
Leaves our faith deserted
And so I try
But I can't see what's going on
Face it
Reach for it
Creating mindscapes of my
My distant past

Mistaken and untold
Now I believe it

Your treason
Deceiver
It's time for me
To trust all my instincts and carry your blame

Call upon the unholy flame
As I can sense the shame
Now it's time for you to feel the same old
Resurrection game

Your treason
Deceiver
It's time for me
To trust all my instincts and carry your blame

6. Circle VIII

Down
The spiral stairs
One way, down
I see the light
I see the light but the bulb is gone
Hesitate and grab the handle

I left a trail of grief
I left a pile of regrets
Longing to be seen
Now fill me with an urge to redeem

At the bottom of the stairs
Circle eight my dream is gone
What's there to hold me back?
Dream figure show the light
In a spiral of contempt
What I feel I can't prevent
You're the one holding me back
Scar figure cast aside

A slow descent
No way back
I see my fate
I see my fate but the exit is blocked
Convince me now
Or left me wander

I left a trail of grief
I left a pile of regrets
Longing to be seen
Now fill me with an urge to redeem

At the bottom of the stairs
Circle eight my dream is gone
What's there to hold me back?
Dream figure show the light
In a spiral of contempt
What I feel I can't prevent
You're the one holding me back
Scar figure cast aside

The low ceiling's pushing me down
But the spiral stairs ends here
The hidden meaning's pushing me down
And so the spiral stairs ends

At the bottom of the stairs
Circle eight my dream is gone
What's there to hold me back?
Dream figure show the light
In a spiral of contempt
What I feel I can't prevent
You're the one holding me back
Scar figure cast aside

Cast aside

7. Renewal Defined

Feed the flame
Seize the shame
All my strength is gone
It's all swept away
Friend or foe
Well who knows?

In this motion
Set my devotion
Free at last
And it strikes me now
A renewal
For a thirsty soul

Still so frail
Let me stay
So ambiguous
It's unattainable
Please
Interpret me now

In this motion
Set my devotion
Free at last
And it strikes me now
A renewal
For a thirsty soul

All my strength is gone
It's all swept away
Friend or foe
Well who knows?

In this motion
Set my devotion
Free at last
And it strikes me now
A renewal
For a thirsty soul

8. Imprisoned Insolence

I have to feed on you for a second time
Gain strength for a failure of two
Find a nuisance
Find a friend
I have to force lies into you again
I make my way back through
I tell I lie so cold
Blind – sympathize
I'm victimized
A real fuck up

I'm chosen
Stuck in your mind
I'm focused
The art of defiance gets me through

A sole figure
Reflects the dark
Let my true spirit walk
Through crop fields
Through formations
Nothing grows
A blunt reality
Soaked with regrets
In my hibernation
Unreal sensation

I'm chosen
Stuck in your mind
I'm focused
The art of defiance gets me through

I had to sacrifice you
To my war within
The current is so strong
My mental landscape
Rearranged and diffused
Let me go to my sacred place again
When it all comes down
I see you burn my friend

I'm chosen
Stuck in your mind
I'm focused
The art of defiance gets me through

The chosen
Devours you whole
So eager
A quick fix through the cold

9. Turn To Incomplete

Now I have seen the hedonistic face
Of the other side of our lives
Impudent reflections
Of the reuth we fold away

A downward spiral to a bottomless end
Reaching depths to where we all descend
No rhyme, no reason
Learn the lesson, we failed

We should have seen it coming
No way to turn back now from this place
Our mission clouded the falling
A lifetime incomplete

Deprived in silent misanthropic voids
As we tie the blindfold tight
From when good went bad and bad got worse

So I remember when will was free
Neglect, insufficiency
Time will tell, judgement fell
We've moved beyond the pale

We should have seen it coming
No way to turn back now from this place
Our mission clouded the falling
A lifetime incomplete

It all seems so pointless
It all seems so dull
But this is the last stand
I prayed this day wouldn't come

We should have seen it coming
No way to turn back now from this place
Our mission clouded the falling
A lifetime incomplete

10. The Fundamental Human Neurosis

Inside
Lifeless it hides
Seed of greed
Conceives fruit of creation

So enter this bleak affection
Blinded by our weak direction
Connected but forsaken
All I need is one reply

Now speak defiance
Untold defiance
I fear what you mean
When you look inside

So frail
Unveiled in bloom
Needle lies
Feeding sorrow to wisdom

So point us towards coercion
Black side for our sore illusion
Respected still rejected
Desperation's all I need

Now speak defiance
Untold defiance
I fear what you mean
When you look inside

You have that grim look on your face
And it's shining through
You have that grim look on your face
No, you can't hide it

Not speak
I fear what mean when you look inside

11. The Test

The longer I await you
The more the loss is felt
I blood in your presence
It withers when you're away
The fountain if exceptions
Filled with absinth
Is my blessing
Let me drown
In a pond of unfound glory
In a pond of glory

This wonder
Is just an illusion
To test me
Let me into regression

The sooner I'm near you
When my character is played right
I prosper in your sacred sphere
But get decadent alone
So placid in your company
But still I novice when it comes to you
Reset my mind
Start me up
In a profound sensation
Profound sensation

This wonder
Is just an illusion
To test me
Let me into regression

I live for the holy touch
This feeling overwhelms me
I surrender to the test
I lick your wound
It lingers on
Lingers on
Lingers on
You're nowhere to be found

This wonder
Is just an illusion
To test me
Let me into regression
