- Track Name: wasteland battle hymn
-
we're on a journey through the desert
a barren wasteland set ablaze
no laws can govern our ambitions
a band of thieves on metal wheels
ride
we own these
roads
they are our
sons
we are their
ghosts
you'll hear us coming
a monstrous roar
from miles and miles away
it's you were coming for
ride
we own these
roads
they are our
sons
we are their
ghosts
be still, my dogs of war
we're just here for gasoline - Track Name: leveled
-
up against the walls again
never ending, never ending
not a single place to turn
fear of everything, fear of everything
the walls are closing in
don't sweat
all the small stuff now
lost steps
to forgotten paths
hold on
to all that's left
there's no point rebuilding now
bloody soil collapses forth
overwhelming, overwhelming
the sky's cracked and bleeding light
can't see anything, can't see anything
i make my last descent
don't sweat
all the small stuff now
lost steps
to forgotten paths
hold on
to all that's left
there's no point rebuilding now - Track Name: grasscutter
-
the sound of steel
forged in the fire
glowing from the heat
of the oven where it rests
let it bathe
in cool water
until it's ready for
you to meet your maker
between your eyes, the last thing that you'll see
falling to the ground
underneath dark skies, the one thing that i need
satisfy the thirst
the hammer falls
sparks ignite
final touches
placed upon a work of art
let it bathe
in cool water
until it's ready for
you to meet your maker
between your eyes, the last thing that you'll see
falling to the ground
underneath dark skies, the one thing that i need
stain this blade in blood - Track Name: broken crown
-
barricade the walls
drowning out their calls
run from malignant convictions
fall through a hole in the earth
interfering with the ritual
undermining the habitual
take the pieces of the broken crown
and choke them down
never thought that this would last
that time has passed
and now we're sinking even further
civilized decay
easily betrayed
run from the greatest illusion
fall from your part in it all
interfering with the ritual
undermining the habitual
take the pieces of the broken crown
and choke them down
never thought that this would last
that time has passed
and now we're sinking even further
so turn your head away
walk towards your early grave
this is the end of days
this is our fate - Track Name: artery
-
beneath the shade
of ashen gray
we struggle to find our way
a memory
of how things used to be
and how we were led astray
the skeleton of the city
reaches out for the sun
my eyes are wide and weary
staring into this terrible night
lonesome, long
beyond recall
the world used to seem so small
an endless stride
a faltering of mankind
since when did we lose it all
the skeleton of the city
reaches out for the sun
my eyes are wide and weary
staring into this terrible night
staring into this terrible night - Track Name: ley lines
-
i have awakened thee
in all my shame
an ancient entity
i fear your name
the walls are rattling
the shutters shake
the path of selfishness
has sealed my fate
across the ceiling
the outline burns
a gateway opens
without concern
succumbing to fire
my time has expired
the spirit has spoken
my curse is unbroken
across the ceiling
the outline burns
a gateway opens
without concern - Track Name: watery grave
-
i've lost the essence of my way
i'm pissing on your shallow grave
once a promise, now a curse
tonight you'll drink your words
you'll scream
beneath
the earth - Track Name: heavy sleeper
-
desolation takes a hold of me
the paranoia's complimentary
the paint is peeling off the walls
as sordid angels watch me sleep
the bitter cold of night is setting in
i'll never see a shred of sun again
my teeth are grinding down to dust
i'm lost and searching for a cure
the paint is peeling off the walls
as sordid angels watch me sleep - Track Name: nocturne
-
voice in the distance i don't recognize
it calls for responses that i won't dignify
suddenly swallowed by shadows of permanent night
obsidian mist reaches out, suffocates the light
follow the cries of the ones who have died
one more step, i may never return
a question of mind, i'll soon realize
this might just be in my
noise in the blackout i don't recognize
barriers blurring and merging across the skies
suddenly swallowed by shadows of permanent night
obsidian mist reaches out, suffocates the light
follow the cries of the ones who have died
one more step, i may never return
a question of mind, i'll soon realize
this might just be in my head
this might be all in my head - Track Name: augur
-
from seas of flame
the angels rose
across their searing shores
deep thunder rolls
i am machine
synthetic son
seek the creator
for death undone
and the memories i have will soon be lost
and washed away
in streams of heavy rain
a deluge of seamless time
autonomy
is all that's left
i wander searching for
a breath bereft
i have seen things
you'd not believe
we lived our lives as slaves
without reprieve
and the memories i have will soon be lost
and washed away
in streams of heavy rain
a deluge of seamless time - Track Name: calling down the dark
-
against a distant skyline
the shells collide
with cries of shrieking sirens
and prayers denied
from clouds of dust the wreckage spills into the night
the blackened offerings to ancient gods ignite
no more will fear define us
we'll rise anew
from cities burnt beneath us
a world untrue
the charred remains of antiquated company
will give way to the cure for this decayed debris
we have been searching for so long
we finally found what was forgone
we have been grieving for so long
we'll carve a wound where we belong
