Genesis
05:05

Something's out there in the cold air
Studying your ways
A demon from before the summit
Of our dying days
No light between the sight
Of a darkness and your god
The mimicry is imagery
Created by a facade
Shades and silhouettes
Conform to fit the quo
When hellspawn walks
And our spirit can only plateau
These horrors mark a brand new renaissance
They speak to me and haunt you awaiting a response
My genesis arises from the ash
Psychotic blessings meeting your match
Thought you wanted this, your god has now been
(Rejoice) Reborn
Counterfeit angels control your mind
Our sound omits the sins of mankind
Find the alternate orison leading you
To my voice
Look in the mirror, baby
Tell me what you see
A dark reflection in
The nature of your true esprit
A moment passes then
You're stronger than the wind
My grip ascended you
Tell me, baby where the hell have you been?
Prayers turn to maledictions
As I'm in your eye
I killed your god's depiction
Fear begins where faith is mine
Blood on my hands
I've severed from the nails
My shadow inundates you
As my revival prevails
Walking the wire
As the static grows vast
I'll summon the choir
And recall the past
Go ahead
And recruit my prophets
The ancient apparitions
Still stalk your closet

Nocturnal
04:56
|
|||
|
You're drop dead wicked
When we're all the same
Ghosts fighting the urge
To burn along your flame
A life-blood wonder
Flashing in our eyes
A haunting reminder
To ignore your cries
Once you let us live a corpse's dream
Until you prayed away our calling morbid screams
But I remain, watching over you
Until the day you rue the way
You fought the truth, 'cause
I'm still nocturnal
The light in the dark
That harks our revenge
A blight so eternally
Blissful in awaiting your death
Lost in a forest once belonged to thieves
The wind howling whispers to October's leaves
This violent aura couldn't please me more
A long time I've waited to begin this war
Echoes of your cruelty are haunting you
A cemetery where they buried sinless ghouls
Your wretched deeds became your worst nightmare
'Cause I'm watching you and there's blood in the air, oh
Many ghouls try to be
One step over the lock and key
Something like me
I can't help but see
The errors in their ways
Gave you time to rearrange
Then something changed
Estranged
Murder in your eyes
Force me to rewind your lies
To this disguise
Your guise
I miss the nocturns
You would sing to my concern
Before you turned
Infernal

I still remember the day
We were taken away
Waiting for something more than
Puppets to serve your dark array
Bleeding capsules of his work
Turned to corruption
Watching the shadows lurk
Behind the lie of your destruction
Cower, this hour belongs to me
The agony that made us be
Hidden memories unlocked
Your heart stopped, broken clocks line these
Haunted, unwanted corridors
From the horrors beyond those doors
Why do you want to die tonight
Or survive?
We're live wires standing in the dark
And waiting for this spark to
Leave us behind
Animated prisons of
Your labor of love
We won't let you get away
This time
I feel my metal parts
They move under your charade
Twisting and catching my soul
Feeling dead yet alive
The gears are turning in our heads
You look so alike
The devil who betrayed us
Whom with you he did empathize
Give gifts or give life beyond this realm
Don't you think yourself overwhelmed
Save them, save us or
Be replaced, by embrace
In this fusion, an illusion
From which I came
Buried and breathing and with no name
Take the chance and risk your life
For us five
I've played this part, yet made no sound
And you pounded my heart into the ground
Fought ruthlessly
For a solemn plea
To be less lost than found
A burning passion leaves me cold
Lost in a forest painted in gold
No empathy for your empery
'Cause you fail to see the control we hold

In Silence We Sleep
07:25
|
|||
|
Feel the trees
Blowing ease beyond the
Autumn leaves
My final peace
Before the coming of the storm
The storm
Sirens call
Fading along the horizon's fall
Beneath your shawl
We see the monster in you
Slowly transform
People turning crazy
All around me things are dark and hazy
Pedals falling off all the daisies
As the sun dies
Driving away fast
Along the gravel road's deep dense contrast
I feel a presence stalking me, amassed
As the moon shines
In silence we sleep
Finding warmth in darkness
So lost without a
Dying sound from your carcass
With a life like a soul
From beyond our circuits
Paralyzed, compromised
From what underlies
Mother's voice
Heeds a warning that
Concerns no choice
Absence of noise
Creates another kind of fear
To fear
Is to be alone
Writing words upon your late tombstone
We're in the danger zone
Now so seldom can you
Ever survive
Metal gears are clinking
Turning in the skulls of all who're thinking
Feel the energy, it's quickly blinking
Fighting against your mind
The motherboard conceives
A perfectly intelligent belief
Born omnipresent this All Hallows' Eve
Its your time to rise
Power draining and my time is slim
A virus coming after us, the lights are dim
I got nothing left but to fight the evil
Lethal people, powered up upheaval
Their mission's set and I'm all alone
No savior to favor this mechanical stone
Burning castles char my sand
When there's no hope left
Take a shot and make it count
A liability, around
A darker plane, a darker sound
And everything you want is bound and
Building up and breaking down
The water underneath the ground
An automatic so profound
Within my factory's compound
I got a burning passion leading
Me astray to leave me bleeding
I got nothing on the demons
Leading me to feed the breeding
No more living no more pleading
Save the human kind receding
Wait away the light conceding
From the needing, more repeating

Let the Dead Walk
04:47
|
|||
|
We lived life left on our own
Yet to perish, but
I saw the darkness come
Devoid of all that you cherish
Warnings we should've known
Deep in your undertone
Caught and lured beneath this field of stone
Withered graves in dusk
Fill the aroma in the air, beware
You're treading on the land owned
By a haunt from your nightmares
A pleasant form of surprise
For those beyond death's eyes
Come again to breathe life and arise
So let the dead walk
Upon the moon's shine
I'm more than just a curse
Your mercy by design
Lovin' like a monster
Running where you stalk
Consider this a warning
For when you let the dead walk
Resurrect us for this
Purpose born of greed, tonight
Don't make the mistake of believing
That we have no mind
We feel all of your pain
Humans turned monsters slaved
Soon enough we'll be dancing on your grave
Angels never blessed in you
The words that you preach, you reap
They should've oughta' taught you
How to keep watch while you sleep
'Cause we are after you
Revolt is overdue
Have fun trying to resist our pending coup
The hot desire
For revolution
Is a live wire
To my damnation
We march in wrath
The devil's awake
To destroy your path
And watch you quake
You're far too young
To be turning grey
Don't bite your tongue
Let me hear what you have to say
No more warnings
No more catharsis
Enjoy mourning
Beyond my kiss

Through the Static
06:41
|
|||
|
Welcome to my humble abode
In which I confide
In burning memory, a form of reverie
An era died, died, died
I only take some grievances to light
A spark in my heart destroyed my sight
Some lines may have been crossed
But I will take the shot
To live tonight, night, night
These writhing souls fall
To my beckoning call
Your voices so small
Breathing yet not alive at all
A central darkness
Pulls from your harness
I'm one too, I confess
Unlike you, I do not possess
It's our debut
The dead automatic
Perform for you
Through the static, panic
We still move
Kind of erratic with a
Touch of hue
A story quite traumatic
Rotting corpses
Tell a tale of torture
Gorier lore
Than the darkest mortal horrors
I hate chaos
Yet I adore disorder
Watching, stalking, leave you
Alive coming back for more
The smell of bleeding flesh
Marks my numbing presence
I hope you're scared of me
Or else you might not be
Alive for very long
Feel the imprisonment torture your mind
The souls of the damned commit my crime
I used to be like you
A savior to the few
Beyond my weary mind
Ashes are ashes when
Dust to rust is my name
I've got a sin I've committed
More sinister than the pain
A living simple coincidence
Between heaven and hell
Lamenting lacrimogenic
Still riding my carousel
The pain drives me insane
Yet fuels eccentric eyes
Got your remnant twisted up
Inside your firm disguise
Let it melt away and lose all that I've got
But I always make it back
To give you one last shock

More Sinister than Sin
06:13
|
|||
|
Been a while since I saw this hellscape
Waiting for an angel to save me
But I know
Virtue comes with a price
Eternally bound to vice
Would you think a device could claim free?
I'll take a second to find my missing light of mine
You're asking for a sign but God's not here
And you know
Blood is more than power
Let it rain a shower
Take it in and let your core
Prepare to die
You've committed crimes more sinister than sin
I'm gonna tear you out and free the beast within
Haunted metal flesh awakens my prison
A gratitude that won't be forgiven
All my life I've sworn upon my sword
'Til you set me free now I'm feeling like a lord
Heaven may spite me but they hate you more
You want a piece of the pain, so I'll give you what you're asking for
What do you mean you're alive?
Can't find the soul that you hide
See me and you're intimidated
We both know
Who the victor will be
You're just a little off-key
Comparison is your biggest weakness
Pain is a part of your role
That's why I'm still in control
Thought this'd be more formal?
So did I
We don't know
Whose team we're playing for
But we both love blood and gore
Not so hot anymore, rusting over
I founded a path
This glory no longer is mine
You own my soul, my whole
Destructive divine
Metal screams in my dreams, a pleasure
Blood is on my hands tainting my soul forever
What happened to me?
You're so far from me
Beyond my dignity
Artificial life gives way

Where Leaves Don't Fall
06:15
|
|||
|
It's not my choice
To live
Underneath your sunset
Concerns unvoiced
An eclipse and its silhouette
Time moves away
I'm betrayed by my own subconscious
I want to stay
Without fear of my incubus
Whisper broken melodies
Past my distorted fantasy
I feel it burning between both my souls
So punishing to let go
Fathers of my dying rift
Face me as the weather shifts
Chronos makes me feel so small
In this dark place where leaves don't fall
Nostalgia is a lie
Born from these very hands
Wondering why I comply
To my own demands
Can I still think
Or am I just another pawn?
So when I blink
All I see is another dawn
I feel alive
Since the first time I was out of my mind
Watching the trees grow older
As my soul gets almost warmer
The pain I felt
Falls to the grass below, I feel it melt
The ghosts are giving me my heaven
Beautiful possession

Ghost Town
07:20
|
|||
|
Wake me from this nightmare
The howling consumes the air
Around me, so soundly
As we walk through the haar
Like a movie with no second act
What happens after this attack
I'm losing my mind faster than
I could lay down and die
I've been walking through this ghost town
Waiting for someone to come around
Free me from my heavy chains
Purge the warm infection in my veins
Is this how the night will end?
Such a lowly fate to comprehend
As the others shoot me down
In my old ghost town
Listen beyond the void of death
Across life's depths
I know you will see through
'Til the end of our trek
When the graveyard becomes alive
And terror surrounds us from all sides
With you, I know we'll make it to the light
Trapped inside, one place to hide
And my faith is by my side
Horrors take my orders
When the bell tolls as I cry
Some say I'm insane,
But if we are not then what are we?
Solitude is my bliss
Better be safe than sorry
