From Atom 05:35
Then we awoke We awoke We were hungry and we killed We were thirsty and we traveled Our skin felt the seasons Our eyes saw the hours We gazed at one another And felt a sacred fire Two became one skin As we watched new life begin We pleaded with the skies For favor and fortune We made tools to construct our origins Our visions were strewn, along the rocks Our first dreams, were forged then A creature obsessed with discovery Moving through a landscape of complexity Ever pining for answers, reasons Abolish all mystery The docile spin of this precious gem The violent lure of our dent in the expanse We are suspended by these forces Their banter spawns all that's awake We exist, pristine result Countless endeavors and alternatives A vast timeline Beauty and beholder unite The energy of our reality Is homogeneous A pinhole containing all the chaos All the chaos that will ever be Substance and space are unrealized Still in obedience In anticipation of a word Without form and void Darkness was over the surface of the deep The docile spin of this precious gem The violent lure of our dent in the expanse We are suspended by these forces Their banter spawns all that's awake To the mountain wrapped in fog Only a fleeting moment To the dirt we hold in our palm Only a brief chapter With eternity in our hearts We ponder our fate

Fall Of Man 04:04
We were born as dreamers From dust and sands Grounded not by physics With a world at our hands Fearless and unwavering Bound by no decree of man What lay before us Was everything grand As we forfeit all Made a drone in a hive To the four winds go Our passions in life Our identity concealed By the ways of the beast Our soul to the West Our flesh to the East So will we stray from untarnished ways Or will we be saved from unintended fate Not from the start Was this the plan This was our will The fall of man But love’s his nature Through grace we’re cleansed On the day that he died At the hand of men Power in persuasion Is a terrible thing Will we pass as the wretched Will we have wasted everything Hold fast to your hope now For if our faith has died We are but broke-winged birds That shall not fly Robbed of your limbs You hunt the heels Of weary children Your face never revealed Head held high in arrogance Present gifts in foolishness Gifts that are not yours to give Empty wealth, distorted bliss So will we stray from untarnished ways Or will be saved from unintended fate Not from the start Was this the plan This was our will The fall of man But love’s his nature Through grace we’re cleansed On the day that he died At the hand of men The fall of man As we pursue flesh His flesh came undone Our healthy hands make closed fists We hold them out to no one So when you trip and stumble Into temptation’s grasp Know not one step was missed Along his blood stained path

Stuff all your ears of wax Then tie yourself to the mast This may be the only chance For you all to sail past Or I promise you all shall perish On the stones you will die So will all of you who cherish All gifts of this life This is not what it seems This is not what it seems Don't look at our faces Don't hear our song Avoid the sirens Avoid the sirens and carry on Seduced by the noises And goddess-like voices Know that your choice is to flee Or enjoy death Fight the urge to be ship-wrecked On the floor of the sea Turn the bows of this deck Or be one with the reef Our terror will fill your ears And lungs like liquid Wood and bones will break apart Your breath is ours to take Never will you surface This is not what it seems This is not what it seems Don't look at our faces Don't hear our song Avoid the sirens Avoid the sirens and carry on

Behold 04:40
The land and sky one in the same Blinding plumes of unearthly flame We desire knowledge Now we can't give it back Snakes betray us all Leaving our planet black As we cry we are crushed by shame So we breathe only to speak your name Your traces surrounding me What does all this mean We watched you come create We watched you come to save Are we fated to these ways As we march you to the grave Down with idols Lift up your face You murder hearts with hate each day With no plague causing decay Found in us no undeserving virus So with roaring skies we see Our malice pales disease With no blood left to bleed Our hope was nailed to the tree We watched you come create We watched you come to save Are we fated to these ways Will we escape the grave Take our breath away Take back everything And set this whole world to flame Then flood extinguishing You have only seen but small wonders Your senses are bound by selfishness Grow weary of your ways My ways you can't even behold

So what will I do Try and survive Find a way to weather the wrath Fight to survive No this is not me Must stay alive I don't want to die and turn to nothing Can't stay alive Undead all around Feeding on the weak Do not make a sound Do not try and speak Eyes squinted closed by the sun Search in fear Your martyrdom will be done Shed no tear What did we choose Our flesh or obedience What did we choose Light over delirium You only settle for proof Look around Those senses will not serve you Underground What did we worship all the years What did we worship that brought us here As I woke from my dreams the air seemed thin I felt a spinning in my head No form of escape Where to begin As I step outside Sky is red Fresh geyser spoiled and daylight dimmed No water, wine, or broken bread Life is found above and not within We roam through wretched times amongst the dead We know by the will Of the first born of dead The lion of the tribe Will break the seal removing the veil As famine enters and light flees the earth All time will stand still As famine enters and light flees the earth All time will stand still As horns are heard above Fire falls down like rain All the oceans to blood All will bow once again As famine enters and light flees the earth All time will stand still As famine enters and light flees the earth All time will stand still Humanity shall die in numbers As wrath is poured from high He will make dust of your monuments Destroy the destroyers of the earth

From the strong and graceful lines To the primal screams Our precious senses Will capture everything Crimson hooves tread over the stirring masses Each side clamorous and eager Snarl at your brother Divided by a drought of reason Hateful shrieks break the calm With torn hearts we ride Vengeance like a wild blood-soaked horse A skyline of fire Lights up a landscape of fallen heroes A swarthy mare passes over Snorting in the night They come to measure what you keep Assure you suffer equally Astride the white mount Unstained sheen blissfully false With bow strung tight He draws on your brood His aim acute His arrow true The sure-footed are tested in this age For too long the faith of many have thrashed like a doomed ship The gallop of a pallid corpse with tombs in hand Ataxia and disarray Anatomy and soul disband From the strong and graceful lines To the primal screams Our precious senses Will capture everything

Fruition 04:38
So reluctant to abandon our scenic perch Where the panoramic chaos is displayed from a safe distance Here we calmly collect the sounds one at a time As they gently arrive only whispers Though these sounds are strangely comforting They symbolize alienation But familiarity is our comfort So we relax in a familiar place Far from the white-hot center of conviction But in that fierce fire is where life begins To protect is to deprive For every emotional survival on this hardly beaten path We've perished in a trillion ways on hypothetical journeys So many gifts squandered Living in a projected state In this place the allure of our freedom Is only matched of our devastating irrelevance But more devastating still Is the eternal solitude So reluctant to abandon our scenic perch Where the panoramic chaos is displayed from a safe distance Here we calmly collect the sounds one at a time There's only room for my eyes on this perch Even if you could join me I would treat you as an enemy For I was forged in this heresy One day we will make our way to the distant sounds And into the mirage where the deceptive heat waves dance And when we are convinced that the flames have blinded us The beacon of your sweet epiphany will pale all that is around And we will truly know the meaning of fire And for you we will burn We will burn forever

Tides 05:06
Stretch the seas Then place them back Make the shadows long May your silhouette be cast Letting me perish letting me flourish Both at the same rate It's our youth we all cherish As life deteriorates You continue to stalk me And I have seen your eyes Piercing through the glass I have seen your face In many pictures And you have drawn these Lines on mine I heard you knocking on my door You want to tear my body apart limb from limb With no interest in matter I will embrace this passage I will embrace this passage of these particles One day I will leave this shell Leave this earth And will have left nothing behind There is no ransom to be paid No grounds to negotiate There is no cure or fountain to seek Bound to these laws for eternity All will live in this moment at the speed of light All will die in the dark of night Pull and stretch the seas Then place them back Make the shadows long May your silhouette be cast Letting me perish letting me flourish Both at the same rate It's our youth we all cherish As life deteriorates Every beat of our heart is a step towards the end

We Desire 05:47
Self preservation becomes a stone wall Obstructing surreal intimacy intended for us Progressive detachment cannot be undone The thrill of liberation We desire such destinations Though we know nothing of journeys We desire such destinations Though we know nothing of journeys We're only captivated by the improbable We've seen that anything is possible Can one observe the unimaginable Do we deserve the unfathomable No longer will we build No longer will we create Exchange our potential for Flesh and stimulation Time has become a burden No longer a gift This void which aches and burns It endlessly consumes Ideas and emotions A pit that swallows our lives Wake up your heart Wake up your guts Burn these images and choose our future Indentured consumers born into slavery Until you reject all you've learned The rhetoric is all we know Purge what you've become Purge your restless heart and aching bones Discover your will The future is a virgin The virtue is within us We are divine amongst the world Look to your brothers And see pioneers Find a place that has been lost Where within mirrors reside leaders Self preservation becomes a stone wall Obstructing surreal intimacy intended for us Progressive detachment cannot be undone The thrill of liberation We desire such destinations Though we know nothing of journeys We desire Forever we will build Forever we will create Forever we will stack our stones Until you bring us home
