1. Inner Struggle

It feels harder to hold together with each step I make
It's too far, too far to care
Lay down to sleep with an easy touch
The breath sighs lightly in the cold air, as it stretches for the moon
Cold gust keep the limbs shivering with agony
How can they break something that isn't whole?

Each step brings me nowhere
Each step brings me elsewhere

Aligned with the path, out of course with the line
Stay sharp as the edge comes nearer
Catch the moment thrown before you
Muscles contracting with each struggle
Feel it as it strains your will
The inner voices clear on the end
The inner voices clear on the end

As I sleep, inner peace is non-existing
Tremors wake me as the fear takes hold on me

Ripples in the sand tell the movements made
Slow, imprints make their way
Fast, the pain sets in
Dawning memories of what to come
Set of by unconscious reality
The imaginary path I walk

Each step brings me nowhere
Each step brings me...

Ripples in the sand tell the movements made
Fast, the pain sets in
Dawning memories of what to come
Set of by unconscious reality
The imaginary path I walk

Each movement has no effect
Each movement makes no sense
Each movement has no effect on me

Aligned with the path, out of course with the line
Stay sharp as the edge comes nearer
Catch the moment thrown before you
Muscles contracting with each struggle
Feel it as it strains your will
The inner voices clear on the end
The inner voices clear on the end

Each movement has no effect on me now
Each movement makes no sense for me now

So let us all
Scramble all emotions
Let the fear take control
Shape your future
Make them see
Shape your future
Let the fear take control
Shape your future
Make them see

2. Storm Within

Rapidly flowing into decay, fallen
Grand overtures open as the breath comes to an end
Symphony of pain to come
Make no mistake, there will be an after

Overcome it all...
Overcome it all...

How to reduce the anguish that will be felt with a strong soul
Take what strength that is left and behold
Blend and adapt to it all

See that is hidden in the shades
Control the shadows within

Overcome it all...
Overcome it all...

Create a sanctuary as you see fit
The darkness that seeks control must be denied

Closed eyes watching, all is seen
Scared beauty, what foul being that's seen by all
Breathe release the pain
Take control, release the pain

Watch yourself rise from within the darkness
Contain the suffering, ready to be revealed
Infected power seeps through the anguish released
See it struggle to take charge

Ending what has always been
Erupting into festering storm
Swallow all that is pure
Making it's mark the future is not to come

See behind closed eyes
Feel what can't be touched
See behind closed eyes
Can't be touched

3. Formed By Power

Feeling gray, as the pulse seems to die out
Grinding veins as the last stream pulsates into the muscle of life

Slipping. Slipping beyond
Cold, staying in between
Feel the cold steel, burning inside

Snow turning to the colour of my inside
Fade now, why the wait
Numbness takes hold of the feeling that is left
As I walked the high ground with pride
As torched by fighting fire
Do not mistake courage for ignorance
Numbness takes hold, feelings that's left
High ground with pride, do not mistake

See my fists's raised high, see me unfold my power
Gathered power, last attack
The heat of their presence is turned into drops of their inner fluids
They do not understand, they're lost

Cutting through their pride with mind and matter unrecognized strength
Flowing within, see me as I want to be
Why doesn't matter, I will rule today

Oblivious to the might I display
They run towards me to meet their end
What a display of dismay

Carnage by my feet, as I feed by their number
Seek your god, what has he done
What has he done?
Nothing

Neither armour of mind or steel, take effect
As it grows inside of me, stunned by it's present
Where is it all gone?
Fallen to my own satisfaction, dismembered feelings
All is too late, there is no time
Fall before me, bow before me

Impenetrable as the charge flows through remaining lost souls
How, my superiority denied
Pebble, the attacker reached my skin

4. Scarred

Show me the opening to reveal the truth before us all
Drown from a deep inner sanctum, to despise the open wounds of it all
Save the reality that has become a lie

See the remains from a mighty though though the ripples formed
Draw a new page of a book unwritten
The marking has begun

The quiet noise awaits you, from a slumber you could not imagine
Tearing the thought towards the insanity of a sane mans darkest thoughts

Feel the unwanted feelings take control
Shave through the logic of it all

Ripping open wounds not yet healed
A void entrenched deep within
The stench breaks through the veins
Smells change into urges and the hunger follows
Taster never before imagined, at least not in a sane state

Should you be able to understand the reason of these voices?
Interpret the meaning of the sreams
Who, what to become of the outcome?
The stench of the wallowing humming, seeking inside
Feel the outer rim take hold of the little sanity that remains
Breaking the bounds you once had
Feelings overcome, and violated by the sheer power of it all

See the remains from a mighty though though the ripples formed
Draw a new page of a book unwritten
The marking has begun

The quiet noise awaits you, from a slumber you could not imagine
Tearing the thought towards the insanity of a sane mans darkest thoughts

Feelings overcome, and violated by the sheer power of it all

5. As I

This is the path I choose now I must see it through, Arguing on a fallen matter
By principle I stand firm, how to reduce the damage to a minimum

As the time stretches agony, seems to be, a circle which I can't end
Squandering, the smaller matters, to avoid the essence

All confess
Practice as I preach
All confess

Awake while you sleep
Unaware of you denial
See the shades of grey
Nor black or white
Reaping through the flock
Have you listened?

Stretching my integrity to the edge
Seeing me fall into my own traps
As the fool I am
Ignorance can't be blamed

Hear my festering words as they flow freely, through the vomit
Do they really see? Or are the blind guided

Can you understand the lies disguised words from me?
Fall before, the icon of man fairytale

All confess
Practice as I preach
All confess

The bad taste of self made ies as a preach
Convincing myself that it ends today
Sowing mistrust as it nourishes on ignorance
Guided by the cowards within

Are the clues mistaken for prophecy?
Seen as they presided by the thought that lies
Spoken between the words is the opening to the truth
Reply upon me with your inner self, salvation is near

6. Suffocation

Angry towards whatever out there
Towards whatever behind

It wasn't supposed to come to the pain that
I'm now about to experience
This questions being raised again

Slowly beginning to dawn upon me
Stiff fingers reaching like leaves

But where to reach, what will help?
Like a hit to the head, doesn't hurt only goes numb

Drifting to a healing place, drifting to hell
Swallow by the sensation of it all
Taken by the ripples of the emotions
Sense your beast to come
Make ready yourself

This has been dealt before, see me now
I will stand as a stronger one again

Do not mistake this as a weakness, I will beat you
Again
Only on the inside

But where to reach, what will help?
Like a hit to the head, doesn't hurt only goes numb

Drifting to a healing place, drifting to hell
Swallow by the sensation of it all
Taken by the ripples of the emotions
Sense your beast to come
Make ready yourself

7. The Gate

Listen to the step taking you further towards something you know will make your agony sustain
Against your own knowledge the sound and smells react like repulsive hits to your mind
You harden as it gets closer, preparing yourself
You harden as it gets closer, preparing yourself

The decay of it all is overwhelming

Surrounded by it all it's hard to keep the guard up, swallow the anger
Like running into a wall voluntary, head first

As time decays your inside, your weakness grows
Tired ripples that grows without control

The decay of it all is overwhelming

Closely following your desperate attempt of denial
The hold witch makes the pain flow free
It tastes your squandering twitches

Like a foul thought that just wont leave your mind
Strangely it hits you like a surprise every time
Like pebbles of tears, your eyes cry
The familiar sense of reprisals

Been here before, welcome to decya
Eaten from inside, ready to suffer again
My soul will not take anymore of the agony to come

Been here before, welcome to decya
Eaten from inside, ready to suffer again

The sarcastic look of the hordes passing you by
Like faces of smoke they shape to the thing you fear the most

The decay of it all is overwhelming

Pulsating, inside of it all
Swarming through your whole being
Black holes, like denial in a wake world
The taste of it all

What to become in the end?
Is there an answer to it all?
Can it be won?
Will it be conquered?
