There was a day the sun had died - A fiery ring on blackened skies The monarchs of this world decide - To kill its light and all subsides Winter followed with endless rain - The cattle flocked and pain remained The wolves have gathered with iron will - Feast on the sheep in violent thrill Their eyes’ are blind their mouths are shut, torn wounds still shed the victim’s blood Are we born to see the light? Or will we die by one man’s might? The vulture in its glory flies – its wings and shadow cloud the skies The morning gone, the day has died –Dusk has come, dark is the night! Kneeling and praying – all is said and done Light up the sky and all will die as one! No one will carry all our loss Embodied lies nailed to the cross Then came the day, the end was near – their bodies choked with endless fear Come flood! Come fire! Endless night! Let all the pyres light the sky! A purgatory human made – decisions made and still too late The dying’s wishes stay unheard – their shattered voices dead to our ears The flood hit land in southern skies – the waves crushed everything in sight The plague that followed then remained – in our hearts and souls restrained We kept illusions hanging high and painted them with blood so bright Our life is gone, the earth has died –Death has come, dark is the night! Kneeling and praying – all is said and done Light up the sky and all will die as one! No one will carry all our loss Embodied lies nailed to the cross

Taste the divinity – still caught in mystery A shroud of silence in this terror of humanity Let’s throw oil on the fires, ignite our homes Through the ashes we crawl, the taste is bittersweet A great leap forward to extinction that we seem to seek A final bullet to our head All we are – lies manmade A parade of fools to be slain By our own hands, fingers clenched The final blow is heaven sent And may the stars all come and go And with passing eons cease their glow None of these monuments stands watch Through all time Oh can’t we imagine that we’ll fade? Born in a rotting corpse’s fate Shall we fight for infinite life Caught in this flesh?

(1) Pump the hate from your veins to your fingertips Grind their will to live down into nothingness Mark their lives with your words full of odium The seed you sow to reap your private perfect storm You’re nothing new, nothing special – just the average Just an ape with a toy that is your leverage Without valor to stand openly for your cause You are a rotten soul no one would cry about You’re just the reason we stand where we are We fell prey to the ghoulish race you are Feed the violence! For all, for all. Slay the silence! For all, for all And inside us The fear, the fear Break the silence! Become what they fear Seed the clouds on the morning of the brightest day This is the terror they need to keep them all at bay. All dark predictions they’ve told are now reality Was our own downfall a self-fulfilling prophecy? You’re just the reason we stand where we are We fell prey to the ghoulish race you are Feed the violence! For all, for all. Slay the silence! For all, for all And inside us The fear, the fear Break the silence! Become what they fear

Through the crowded streets at night All the fires still alight Falling rain – like tears of a god We’ve come undone We’ve created our own hell A glowing Sulphur neon spell Roaming souls on an endless path Blind to the light Our souls are castaways trapped in binary shells Made of code – what’s the purpose of our road? Bound to this floating raft A soulless fleshly graft Close your eyes – it’s the essence of our lives Borrowed time in foreign flesh Chasing lines caught in a mesh Where the soul is immortal Death’s infinite Behind the eyes the soul resides Strangely hidden in plain sight We’re all monsters of our own device Life’s infinite Our souls are castaways trapped in binary shells Made of code – what’s the purpose of our road? Bound to this floating raft A soulless fleshly graft Close your eyes – it’s the essence of our lives

From the beginning of time we were bound to this shell Still advancing as a race towards infinite hell All the skies have turned dark from the breath of our breed May the stench of burning flesh may be our final deed This is the hell we’ve created in a place we call home And the distant skies still laugh at our decaying throne Are we the crown of creation or an error in time? A public execution – and you are next in line Breathe in – breathe out Do you feel the calm of the chaos you don’t care about? Breathe in – breathe out This is the sweet taste of doubt you’ve never cared about Breathe in – breathe out Were you ever in doubt that there is no way out? Birth in – death out There is no circle to break, no play to know about Every moment left to be Another step towards infinity Of darkness and the void On this vast asteroid We were born to come undone Taste the divine when we’re gone In total darkness we’ll reside Cause all our heavens are void of light When the countdown starts where you’ll think you’ll be? On the plains of your mind in self-hypocrisy? Counting seconds and days and things still left to do? Paralyzed by the thought that you can’t get through? Have you ever believed that there’s a place called home? This plague ridden spot on the galactic crown. We were born as gods and leave as scum This is the final calling to our lesser throne Breathe in – breathe out Were you ever in doubt that there is no way out? Birth in – death out There is no circle to break, no play to know about

Enclosed inside – displaced by all this time Your ghost still wanders - through this halls of paradigms Enshrined in time – Contained by all you’ve done The fog still wanders – through these halls of stone Your presence through time still haunts me Your image so vague but still so real I’m lost inside the maze of your life The void you’ve created inside me Keeps tearing me down with your gravity The silence inside is the weight of your void Torn by your might – There’s nothing that can be done Even the spring of this life has now dried up and died In the wake of your sun…. The moon that night a last fried still by your side The candles alight as the sun slept so tight In the void that you’ve left grow on Your presence through time still haunts me Your image so vague but still so real I’m lost inside the maze of your life The void you’ve created inside me Keeps tearing me down with your gravity The silence inside is the weight of your void This haven is vast and feels empty I cannot erase what you’ve done to me I’m lost inside the void of you love This silence inside is still screaming My name and urges me into acting I’m lost inside the weight of the void

Born in a rotting corpse’s fate Shall we fight for infinite life Caught in this flesh? The hourglass cracked inside And fingers bleed the sands of time All born inside this mess No chance to flee or to confess Buried alive behind enemy lines Ourselves betrayed by all mankind Numb yourself, escape the pain This world will shatter, just dust remains Purge this place of purity Deny the sins that we can’t seer Those are the nails that we hammer straight Into our coffins already made Burnt alive by our own will And hung by those that love you still Every trip around the sun Through passing light, the end has just begun

When all light fails shadows glow Devouring darkness lies below When all your havens cease to be How can we dance? How can we feel? As the fires all align The trumpets blown - all life’s resigned Under horizons far and wide Make your choice to either side On this sea in blackened space We are alone – one fighting race Inside these borders we can breathe Causing death is our deed On seas of Black - a Light house our sun We’re destined to fail, to sink before shore’s sight How did we come this far? We've Set aflame the ark we're on As the water Starts to rise choosing the best place to drown From all this darkness There's still Light, a reason to be Step out of the shadows Light your Flame for All to see What’s our purpose in this all? Our structural errors – we’re bound to fall? We’re just pawns in our own game We’ve set the rules – we are to blame. Coded to perish – coded to strife The sequence inherits – break through this senseless line Why did we went this far? Can we tame the burning sun? As the fires starts to rise choosing the best place to hide From all this darkness There's still Light, a reason to be Step out of the shadows Light your Flame for All to see All life will come to pass Beneath the sun's own mortal gloom Be your own Light inside the dark Shelter your mind from All human doom
