This Is The Dark Era
04:08

What do you expect in return when you dip your hands into the well?
The buildings are painted in black.
Dirt fills the air, the wind is thick.
My only hope is for return.
All for a story, all for a lie.
The skies above weep at the sound of the wretched being, our demise.
We're all slaves to a "master."
(This is the dark era.)
It's the mental anguish, an acquired fear.
Pierced through my soul, bringing only tears.
The city is burning, this is our fate.
A rotting regime only built by hate.
My thoughts begin to diminish.
A lifetime for an hour of "paradise," yet in the end there is no resurrection.
No hope.
No control.

Pestilence
05:17
|
|
||
This is my death sentence, my pestilence.
You'll never take this away from me.
Unnatural feeling.
Ashamed of nothing.
Your head to the ground, becoming one with reality.
As I taste the earth crumbling beneath me,
this is everything I could've hoped for.
The tears of blood fall, so deserving.
This is the end.

Iron Rain
04:33
|
|
||
When will I know everything will be alright?
Chased away from what I know, it wasn't meant to be like this.
Constant fear in my eyes, I prepare for the iron rain to pour down on me.
Was this an act of "God," or was this meant to be?

A Blessing From Below
04:04
|
|
||
The pain we see in truth is the way to light.
What is it that we seek, seen through a fearful eye?
Knelt under the altar, raising my hands in guilt.
Beg for forgiveness.
Wind passes down my spine.
Running and hiding.
Blood for money.
Running and hiding.
This will be left behind.
This is the great demise.
This road leads nowhere.
Transparency is sacred.

Harrowed End
03:43
|
|
||
Do you remember when eternity didn't feel so far away?
The winter doesn't seem so cold anymore when you're in heaven.
Look in my eyes, do you see the fear?
Look in my eyes, I can't do this alone.
Alone I lie awake listening to the rain.
I don't want to get hurt, but I envy the pain.
Looking for bliss, hopelessness.
Looking for bliss, waiting for the kiss.

Chains of Reality
05:39
|
|
||
The tide is rising.
The water is shallow.
It's hard to speak when we are hidden.
Are you listening?
I feel so far away.
Is this a disorder or beauty in disguise?

The Killing Field
03:18
|
|
||
I am a prisoner.
Endless pain, only the pure.
Plagued and sick, I envy release.
Tortured and driven, I fall to my knees.
Is this what I've become?
A glutton for punishment?
The dark days, the ones we regret.
Thoughts of beyond are haunting, yet pleasuring.
The devil calls out for me to agress.
The devil calls out for me to attest.
Suffering.
My faith is suffering.
Wasting away.

War Have Mercy
05:32
|
|
||
Erased by all, they are the fire that lights the air in days of darkness.
Shameless and cold, a carnal game.
Nothing but hate, into oblivion.
Born into nothing.
Lost from the start.
Did we ever stand a chance?
All hope is gone.
The empty feeling.
Oblivion.
The world's demise was dealt by your own dirty hands.
Endless defeat will not bring me down to my knees.
War have mercy.
Lord have mercy.

A Vacant Stare
05:35
|
|
||
She turned back around, I won't forget the stare.
Uncomfortable numbness.
Gloom everywhere.
The feeling has left me.
Was it always so wrong?
I don't want to wake up.
It was real all along.
I see through you.
I've always known.
I feel better knowing you're gone.
Knowing I'm gone.

Eternal Plight
08:17
|
|
||
To live a lie, to die alone.
Take my soul.
In the end of all things, I chose to suffer.
Alone, where I belong.
All for nothing.
Nothing for it all.
