Mortal Dissonance
05:41
|
|||
Plagued by sickness
Decaying cognition
Your mind is confronting the deities
Mournful passing
Mortal dissonance
Scream your challenge to divinity
Pervasive maneuvers of self-deception bring this bitter dance to a halt
It will break your wall of conviction in the midst of the fall
Detach yourself from its attack on all that you hold dear
Mortality, questioned by the murmur of decay
Within it silence you can hear the echoes of your fears
Deception lifts, awakened to the pain
In deistic absence
All hopes and dreams are gone
A perverse awakening
Reclaim those perished thoughts
Hold it up for all to see and shatter their deceptive dreams
When death comes knocking, divinity is lost
Drift into purgatory
Diminish morality
Detract the innocent and obliterate the soul
Lifeless eyes gaze on dreadful skies
Thrust from the safety net of catharsis
Blissful perspective slipping away
Awakened by foul stench of decay
Then it all comes crashing down
Shattering the void of preconceived mortality
Destined to be what you're not
Feel it slipping away
In deistic absence
All hopes and dreams are gone
A perverse awakening
Reclaim those perished thoughts
When death comes knocking, divinity is lost
In deistic absence
All hopes and dreams are gone
A perverse awakening
Reclaim those perished thoughts
Hold it up for all to see and shatter their deceptive dreams
When death comes knocking, divinity is lost

Babylon Burns
05:17
|
|||
Try to cull the chaos
As the hand of doom grips your throat
With a knife so silent
It peels away what you covet most
Look to your gods and pray for their vengeful wrath
Help that'll never come
Leaving your kingdom in a bloodbath
Embrace the omen
Ignite the flame
Watch it all burn until
Nothing remains
Look to your scriptures
As salvation wanes
This Babylon will burn until nothing remains
Burn this Babylon until nothing remains
Fear feeds the firestorm
As tongues of flame lick the sky
And screams of violence
Echo throughout the burning night
The blaze marches on
Consuming everything in sight
Impending doom arises
The seventh trumpet sounds the time
Embrace the omen
Ignite the flame
Watch it all burn until
Nothing remains
Look to your scriptures
As salvation wanes
This Babylon will burn until nothing remains
Burn this Babylon until nothing remains
Unleash destruction
A war machine built by your hands
Suffer annihilation
Your reward for your failed plans
A king of nothing
A throne of ash and a paper crown
An empire of ghosts
There's nothing left for you now
Embrace the omen
Ignite the flame
Watch it all burn until
Nothing remains
Look to your scriptures
As salvation wanes
This Babylon will burn until nothing remains
Burn this Babylon until nothing remains

Your Demons Conspire
05:50
|
|||
Do you hear them too?
The tones of self-criticism
Here to shatter and break you down
They'll always find a way through
Amplifying viciously while picking at your wounds
Until you find a way to get by they'll always be with you
Don't be defeated by lingering seasons
It's only your lies that you put belief in
I can't condone your self-destruction
This darkness is only perception
I know they speak through you, I recognize the tones
Eating away, dissolving the soul
Your virtues squandered, they've taken root inside
Confined by your Stockholm steel-trap mind
Don't let them in
They'll spread their hateful lies
Build up your walls and you just might survive
Face them head on and you'll barely get by
Never forget, your demons conspire
Waging war against yourself
There can never be a victor
Lurking under currents of lethargy
I can't stand your endless apathy
They've defined your personality
And now there's no one left to be
I know they speak through you, I recognize the tones
Eating away, dissolving the soul
Your virtues squandered, they've taken root inside
Confined by your Stockholm steel-trap mind
You can't fight sensations of self-deprecation
When you're enslaved by depressive frustration
They will decide when it's your time
You feel them closing in, your scent's in the wind
They've come to devour, consuming within
Succumb to your pain and nothing will remain
Pick your lie
What will you choose to believe?
Defend your life
They cultivate misery
In the company of demons
It's easy to think you're alone
But you can decide whether they will survive
Only you can safeguard your soul
It's time to cast them aside
Bitter words no longer ring true
You can try to reclaim your life
It's time to push on through
I know they spoke through you, I recognized the tones
Eating away, dissolving the soul
Your virtues squandered, they've taken root inside
Confined by your Stockholm steel-trap mind
Pick Your Lie
Define Your Life
