WEATHERED BONES
02:07

Unfurl my fingers
To reveal an ancient burden
Unveil my vestiges
The lights they start to flicker
Into the darkness, I cannot go
Made a choice to save my soul
Where my heart was, now there's a hole
Ancient powers from a world below
I've seen the worst of mankind
Spineless excuses for lives
The missing truth is inside
Always decipher their lies
I wish the best for mankind
I can no longer survive
I lay my bones down to rest
All decomposes with time
Weathered bones
Still need homes
Cast me out in the cold
Heed the stories of old
Ancients reap what they sow
Devil's horns, they regrow
Wretched scorn from below
I cannot wait to taste her skin
I cannot wait to taste regret
Lost in the torment
An exiled forgotten soul
A thinly veiled extortion
They take all they can and they take some more
Trapped in spires of deceptive tragedy
Expertly he pens her name

CIRCLE OF IRON
01:42
|

|
The iron circle keeps us all in line
It's been that way since the dawn of time
Dark visions forming from a blackened sky
Tormented creatures let out hellish cries
Dark wisdom torn from forbidden minds
Entrenches all in its insipid vice
No remorse for those who lost their lives
For putting up such a worthless fight
We'll see
How you feel about the demon in me
Black cloud, yeah, it's all I can see
Got a grip, I can't seem to break free
Not me
Behind the fabric of reality
The hands of fate that no man can see
Exist to mock and to torture me
Peel back the skin and they start to bleed

OUROBOROS
01:54
|
|||
|
The split head of the serpent lies
In the field as it's swarmed with flies
Two spirits and they're both unkind
Two faces and they both fucking lie
Ouroboros
Perpetually I swallow dust
The cycle never ends
There's no one left to trust
Make a decision
No advantages are given
Make an incision
You can always play the victim
Jealousy
Much like leprosy
Takes what's left of me
Leaves my mind diseased
Trapped
No autonomy
Feel like they're onto me
Give me anonymity

THE HALLS
02:26
|
|||
|
I've seen enough for a lifetime
The crimson sky opens wide
Angels with blistering eyes
Descend to prey on twisted minds
They want me
To see what they see
They taunt me
Exhaust me
Where was I that night?
In the halls of time
Where were you,
When I saw her spirit go?
With the others
They took flight and left this plane
They were laughing
They beckoned me to join
She refused
But I wanted to go
I was held in a trance
They danced through the corridor
Ignorance
Taunting me
That I once had yearned for
I never wished to see what could have been
