Torn between two heavens Weighing truths beyond the sand
2.
And so it begins From a resting place of memories Lost so long ago The faint echoes of life Resounding from deep within the flow of time From what did these sands of fate begin to fall Forcing us to awaken Unveiling our eyes And for this moment We stand, overwhelmed, beneath the sky Staring into salvation Entwined in this vow This attainment of reason A call to the life that's sleeping in our blood We'll drink of this faith Until it drowns our disbelief Purpose has chosen me For once I can breathe And feed the shred of hope Buried deep within my lust Beneath the scars Beneath the shell of my content Entwined in this vow This attainment of reason A call to the life that's sleeping in our blood We'll drink of this faith Until it drowns our disbelief Awakened In this rite of passage Culling the thirst of our flesh With promise Seemingly written in the sky And for this moment We drown in this faith

Acceptance This cunning dagger Dripping with illusive doom Preying on the weak, myopic minds Clouding their reason This treacherous contractor Assuring the skin-deep convictions With justification An escape from the onerous course Now go ahead Fulfill the tragedy in disbelief And rest in the grasp of ruin Coward! Faithless! Betrayer! You errant fool! Breathe in relief And choke on the ashes Of countless works undone This sanctuary came with destruction Know this forever Blood is on your hands This ravenous vulture Aroused by the blood of the hopeless With blackened, starving eyes It waits for your dreams to die Will you give in? Have you ever, for even a moment Reasoned with your fear? No one is innocent Coward! Faithless! Betrayer! You errant fool! Breathe in relief And choke on the ashes Of countless works undone This sanctuary came with destruction Know this forever No one is innocent Blood is on your hands

Masterpiece 03:37
Developed perception In cognitive immersion Masking the certainty ...the reality In this design, I find solace Yet the depths of regret Set this altered mind faltering Again and again, I watch it decay Coveting the frail shell of a memory My resolve has cursed this blood-stained soil Here I stand in ruination Among the cinders of destruction As I have bled the sky of its tranquility Where life once flourished And all that is left Is the swarming of ashes Now burning my skin This is torment This is completion Crushing the frail shell of a memory My curse has resolved this blood-stained soil What is perfection to me? The growth of the seed The knowledge that I am the artist And this is my masterpiece My curse, my resolve
5.
Sentiment has proven its worthlessness In this discordant existence And now my anima has been sealed away Cold, mechanical and ruthless I assume a new path with the same destination Destroying everything that stands in my way Through vexing resolve I defy the beliefs of my truest self I've become heartless As there is nothing left to bleed ...I am so far away from my truest self... I am an omen I am a spear with and ashen wake My course is doomed For I have become self sustaining Through vexing resolve Into the fires of chaos I begin my descent

Diminished The aegis torn apart Exposing the core Relentless viral decoding Raping the depths of my mind Optical stimulation Illusions holding my fixation ...purge system engaged... Glaring lights burn in our eyes Alchemic alterations In searing, optic precision Reconstructing our perception To fabricate reality We are the suffering The souls to burn With hope, we may obtain A state of perfection Forcefed solution Unyeilding Succumb to the "absolute truths" In fragmented conceptions Filling our lungs ...our beings... Drowning the virus Channeled Executing the extraction Sustain Attain the conversion Forging the eye Open your eyes and see A new sense of reality System disengage
8.
Thrive 03:24
A new state of genesis Untouched Provision to the starving array The ravenous, the defiled And with hope, the corruptible Are we now the blight? Through the burning ...the purification... This self desecration We have become a virus Designed for prolific infection A new breed of salvation To rise through suffering Distorted We will spread this contagion And the corrupted shall breed chaos Savored and savoring We are slaves to the system Spreading a new disease Compromising life for eternity A new sense of perception Irrepressible A sea of eyes have turned to black A reign of bloodlust overwhelms Beneath the golden ash Our time has come to flourish Thrive in what we bleed Go forth and spread the chaos Through the burning ...the purification... This self desecration We have become a virus Designed for prolific infection Savored and savoring We are slaves to the system Spreading a new disease Compromising life for eternity Synergy Through which we survive Is imminent A step in the delusion of fate ...if there were such a thing Born of a machine We live for eternity
9.
With impervious focus I peer into a world of my own design Where my thoughts echo through dimensions Guilding reality Distorting the cognitive plain I am free from imperfections And my vision... absolute As I stare into the crystalline Yet why does my focus betray me? How long have I stood within this hourglass? Tormenting My mind resonates in the clarity The vociferous fragmentation Of a self, once forsaken ...buried beneath... Staring back at me Where dimensions merge I stand, unresolved With ten thousand regrets Slipping through my fingers Focus Drown out the resonating reflection The defect of this eye's forged mockery At the throne, my touch is golden My breath... is golden Wrought by overwhelming sacrifice But why can my mind transcend reality? With deafening reveries of what I've abandoned ...of what I've forsaken ...of what bleeds within... Drown out the silence! Focus before this evolves! Opposite I stand beside myself One bleeds from the ears One bleeds from the eyes Crowned in reality Immersed in the sand Drown out the silence So I can sleep
10.
Inertia 05:33
Descending Submersed in the cold grasp of inertia Shrouded in these blackened wings Where I will sleep Listless Callous of the wake Fear is god on this spiteful earth And to the earth I plummet Tearing the chill winds Freezing the veins of reason I am but filth A fabrication of faith And a testament to its worth I am the breath returning to god To final and finally rest Altered I have shed the delusion of hope And spread wings in animosity In which there is truth And I am welcomed With open arms Becoming one with the soil Once more
11.
Convictions 03:55
Tearing away from earthen arms Free from the grave The ashes of fate that faintly burn As I stand within my fate Remind me of you For I have lost the strength to see As I wander the darkest depths of ruin I cant find the will to believe Tearing away from this false sense of reason I'm still bound within this dream Where the manifestations of my regrets Keep pulling me back But who would I be? To die amongst the weak... As I tear away I am painted with crimson resolve I am defined through adversity The depths that I bleed Through the endless afflictions I strive to succeed I will never lose my will to breathe Without struggle, we are nothing We have not bled enough May scarlet life rain down from me And prove my devotion Afflictions cast shall ever seed Strength in mortality "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy." ~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Chimerism 00:18
Follow my voice beyond the blackest corridor of consciousness In these depths, I have waited for far too long When our reflection aligns We shall rule together... as one
13.
I have opened a door sealed shut Back to where I began Through the depths of existence Transversing the webs of subconscious I make my way to the source ...the core... Unresolved and unanswered I have returned I peer through the glass ...and regress As I test my reflection's faith I can feel your fate ...suffering counted in sand... How much do you fear?! How much do you regret?! I wont let the fear of a revelation waste away my existence Yet something now feels so unreal As our connection intensifies Reality slips away Ripped into the void of our dimensional clarity ...or dementia, for our memories align A vast illusion breaks at the peak of my vertigo As the misconception subsides Numb... breathless Unearthing the truth Buried in the perils of chronophobia I am the lie The shadow... the mask The archetypal portrayal Untouched by fear And this is the final delirium The catalyst that set the works in motion I am the product of logic and sand For we are but fragments of being As you have been lost within the glass I wont let the fear of annihilation waste away my existence I leave behind a shattered hourglass The destruction of my limitations If the inevitable surely comes to pass in time I will not be swayed by fear
