Cut to the core
Throw it away
If nothing is sacred
Bury me
Seal My Fate
I am awake

What do you stand for?
Sending out my signal flare
Pride is nothing but a mask we wear
The ships have left, no longer there
Pride is nothing but a mask we wear
Shipwrecked in the open sea
Where the fuck's your loyalty?
Honour means the world to me
So where the fuck's your loyalty?
And at the end of the road
There's more than one place to go
Stick to the paths that you know
Or forge one all of your own
Sifting through the earth
Find out what it's worth
Don't sacrifice the search
Give in to rebirth
The beacon cuts the current
The depths are reached with ease
For when they search the shoreline
No insurance of relief
And at the end of the road
There's more than one place to go
Stick to the paths that you know
Or forge one all of your own
Out in the distance you'll see
Lights flicker endlessly

Safeguard
03:14

If what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger
Then what if I'm already dead?
I can't take this any longer
Just get me out of my head
Now
I can feel it
No surface to reflect
Pass right through it
It's breathing down my neck
Breathing down my neck
If you can't see it
Is it really there?
My perceived reality
Distorted by glare
The haze is still heavy
My bones are now bare
When all that we wanted
Was to clear the air
If you can't taste
The deceit and despair
Your tongue is too tangled
Or judgement impaired
Our hopes are all fading
And nobody cares
When all that we wanted
Was to clear the air
Come back to the ground
A sense of safe and sound
At what cost is safety acquired?
Your fate still lies in your hands
When all that your told is from liars
How could you make their demands?
We cannot afford to be this brash
Egos of the past
We cannot afford to be this blind
We're running out of time
Don't you wait for too long now
Threads are coming undone
You'll get carried away
It's not too late to save
What's been anchoring me
Just stay on the ground
Stay on the ground
Tie me down
No such thing as safe and sound

Coat of Arms

Exterior
Now tarnished, once bronze
You say you've been feeling this way for too long
Boundaries diverged
Intentions gone wrong
You know you've been living this way for too long
Press on
Infrastructure
Now shaken and scarred
You say you can't keep things the way that they are
Retrace your steps
You've gone way too far
You know you can't leave things the way that they are
You've gone way too far
Crawl back to the start
I'm just dying to know
Aren't you dying to know
When this house will fall
If this frame will still hold
You're just dying to know
Can you still feel at all?
No
This feels all too familiar
Once more, haunted by the past
I miss my home
Where did it go
You see what went wrong
Rebuild and move on
Dying to know
I'm just dying to know
When this house will fall
Down
I'm just dying to know
Aren't you dying to know
When this house will fall
If this frame will still hold
You're just dying to know
Can you still feel at all?

A Clockwork Heart
05:32

And just how many times
Will we be led astray
Tell me what's even left
Of this unity
When you take something from nothing, then what would be left?
Take love from the heartless
Leech life from the dead
Something's got to give
I can feel the earth cracking
From underneath my feet
Just when I thought it was safe
Your call has brought me to my knees
No light in sight
At least it would seem
Just one more cog inside your machine
Someone's got to
Lose
Sleep in your blanket of silence
It's all you have to keep from me
Just where the hell have you been
Every time just like the last
I refuse to be second best
I'll do only what I have to
I will be the one to lay this to rest
Call off the search
For such a lost cause
It didn't take much time
To show just what this was
And now, these words, they linger
They've been echoing for days.
And I won't lift this filter
Of things that I can't say
Time once was in my favour
What happened to my faith?
I feel it slipping
You can't take this from me

A Moments Peace
04:57

Wake up
Open your eyes
Fight off your demons
They'll be your demise
Lights out
There's no more time
Don't let them reach you
They'll eat you alive
The wolves are growing near
They've had my scent for years
The sun
Will rise
Again
If this
Night would end
Relentlessly
They will traverse
Though I still pray
They'll lift this gift
Of a curse
The wolves are growing near
They've had my scent for years
They play upon my fears
The wolves are growing near
Just say
You'll wait for me
Give me
Just one more day
Have I lost myself?
This is not the end
Not the end
Of me
If only to
Remind me
What once was
Will never be
I
Just want
To see things
Clearly
This barrier
Surrounding me
Lift up your heart
And set me free
This plight of mine
I've lost the key
Guide me through
For you could be
My light
Always
Burn bright

Eternal Return
03:15
|

The starting of the end
The cycle starts again
Ticking hands
Idle for no one
The pendulum
Remains unbroken
This is all
Reoccurring
Arrow of time
Disconcerting
Oh, the state has seen
Better times than these
Though history
Has been thought to repeat
It's coming back again
What felt like a dream
A glimpse of former
Lifetimes, it seems
Preconceived borders
Writings set in stone
Suddenly erased
While beliefs of permanence
Now out of place
Out of place
Reformation
This is all
Reoccurring
Arrow of time
Disconcerting
Oh, the state has seen
Darker times than these
Though history
Has been thought to repeat

The Great Deception
04:09
|

Our hands are burnt
To black they've turned
From gripping tightly
The rope we yearn
And will you ever deliver?
You've promised way too much
Your words, they quake and quiver
I think you've lost your touch
This ladder's never ending
But still, we brave the climb
A fate much worse than falling
Would be to fall in line
Sacrifice
All you know
Until all you know
Is sacrifice
Deceit of the dreamer
These hands should be cleaner
Deceit of the dreamer
They keep us all too eager
Blind yourself just to see
Burn your cross to believe
This system's broken
Cure us to spread disease
Finding home just to leave
This system's broken
Our hands are burnt
To black they've turned
From gripping tightly
The rope we yearn
And will you ever deliver?
You've promised way too much
Your words, they quake and quiver
I think you've lost your touch
This ladder's never ending
But still we brave the climb
A fate much worse than falling
Would be to fall in line
Sacrifice
All you know
Until all you know
Is sacrifice
Deceit of the dreamer
These hands should be cleaner
Deceit of the dreamer
They keep us all too eager
This system's broken
Broken

I'm finding out that
These shades always tend to fade
And just turn back to grey
These shades always tend to fade
Black
Just like the bottom of the grave you dug
For me
These shades always tend to fade
And just turn back to grey
These shades always tend to fade
Black
Much like the heart
That's stuck to your sleeve
What started out as your crutch
Is now the knife inside my back
Just look at what you've done
These four walls speak louder than your words
Ever could
These colours
Will bleed for you
No more
In the end
It's me I have to mend
I cannot look back
These skies won't turn black
Again
For I am now alive
Scars will heal with time
Your actions signify
The void that looms inside
You
Can't you feel it?
They can see
Through that empty smile
In which you hide
Much like the heart
That's stuck to your sleeve
What started out as your crutch
Is now the knife inside my back
Just look at what you've done
These four walls speak louder than your words
Ever could
These colours
Will bleed for you
No more
As quick as I am to point the finger
I know I only have myself to blame

True North

We are the product
Of a place that
Would never have us
We aren't the thought of
We're just the shameful
As hard as you try
You feel the pulse of this die
And you're left with nothing to lose
We are the device
Of a god who
Could never love us
We aren't the martyrs
We're just the hopeless
As hard as you try
You feel the pulse of this die
And you're left with nothing to lose
As much as I'd like
To just say my goodbyes
I'd be left with nothing to prove
Deemed unworthy
Undeserving
They promised that you would be free
The vultures all pray that you fall
They won't bring you to your knees
Their hearts pump nothing at all
Nothing at all
Deemed unworthy
Undeserving
Come down
It's over
Come down
It's over now
As I feel the air
Rushing in
The leaves covering me
Will I feel the warmth
Of the sun again?
The roots sheltering me
30 days
In this hole
Left alone
30 days
Inside this hole
Left alone
As hard as you try
You feel the pulse of this die
And you're left with nothing to lose
When the day does arrive
That you don't open your eyes
They'll all know that your heart was true
Your heart was true

Point of No Return
04:42

This all will fall
It's just a matter of when
Injustice for all
Break our backs on your demand
Injustice for all
Exploit us all, all that you can
Nothing, we're left
Nothing
Left
We're breaking down
We are
We're fading now
We are
We're breaking down
We are
We're fading now
Too far gone
