As wind howled
The branches flailed to flood the earth
With a sea of beautiful death
An ocean of bronze danced with scattered waves
As broken wind swirled to clear the haze
Now no longer drowning the air is too light the sun’s glare exposing
Ripped from safety to be placed in peace
The stagnant air is suffocating
Means to an easy end

Wake
Still a remnant of ice caught sight at fist glance
The feeling touched our homes
And we raised our heads
Light pierced the sky and drove doubt to the abyss
The world was warm cold never to be missed
Torn was the veil at the eyes
A straight shot to the soul
Walls transparent
Steady your self
Steady your self
V's unfurl
(Open eyes
Watch the world)
Birds riot
(Untamed)
They murder
(Unashamed)
Carnage they crave feeds the nest for a day
Blaspheme it may seem
But terror may bless behind a scene
Oh
It's twisted
(Twisted as it seems)
And torn
(It's ripped)
Beyond the seams
Is the mangled line that lies between
Righteous and wretch
Dawn and death
Songs now feigning joy fill the air
Fill a vacant, voided heart
Bask in the glow of the shine
(Let it go)
Let the warmth of the sun take a hold of your soul
Return to the feeling of grace anew
Joy from a factor independent of you
Every day will watch the sun come and pass
And to the moments between we'll raise half a glass
To the evil ones empty of soul
To the fair at heart, full of gold
Oh
It's twisted
Twisted as it seems
And torn
(It's ripped)
Beyond the seams
Is the mangled line that lies between
Righteous and wretch
Dawn and death

From my own hubris springs forth the obstruction strangling my overgrown path
My desolation rests in my hands from which I hope to never detach
For a moment I sat and I questioned how Inside oh god, why
But if it never relents, never am I bound to even half a try
Below the surface ego lies
A grand fear
And luring whispered reason
Both hands raised
Both hands stand to twelve
Under blue skies
Our minds are flooded
Our veins run dry
And we black out
Left to drown while we burn
No souls to save us
From this storm
Breath stalls
Hands in an instant
Melded to the earth
Relive the cycle
Victors prove their
Worth
Nothing impedes the
(Broken)
Conquering vector
(Wake up)
Nothing obstructs the
(Broken)
Path of the worthy
(Wake up)
Under blue skies
Our minds are flooded
Our veins run dry
And we black out
Left to drown while we burn
No souls to save us
From this storm
So may the cowards crane
And wring their necks
To catch a glimpse of legend
As it reaches it's crest
And falls
Under blue skies
Our minds are flooded
Our veins run dry
And we black out
Left to drown while we burn
No souls to save us
From this storm
End it

It's a breeding ground of lies
It's the essence driving pride
The black hole draining life from this world
Gold chains their necks to stone, trapped in blackened homes
Unworthy wealthy hands
Their hands are broken tools that build the house of fools from sand and dirt and dust that fall to ash and rust
Their words are empty lies
A shallow thin disguise
They love only one side
Compassion long has died
Oh watch the clock
As five strikes diamonds paint the sky
And blue becomes the new black
Oh watch the clock
As six strikes diamonds rip the sky
Even our eyes now are black, black, black
Adorned in rings and jewels
Standing low, untamed beyond compare
Diamond studded and dead
A gaud swathed in silk and bled
The tomb lay full while the body roam
There's no light, no shining love
No glare of hope, no tranquil dove
And death will definitely dine with its descendants
Nothing excuses quite like the mind vacant of truth
Nothing confuses quite like the hollow heart of youth

Break
A cold black settles the horizon
A billowing wave sweeps the stars away
The true void of the night unleashed to plague all
And truly there are none here who still stand tall
Breath, wasted on its own flesh
A cold quick quip that thins
The air around
It takes the crown
To calm the fire of a crowd within
And now the wraith stands
One finger to its lips and demands
A breath skipped and a halt of the hands
So be still and be forgotten
We fall, into the chasm of the night, per our will to fight
We crawl, on our knees we will beg and plead
We fall, into the hollow empty ice,
kill the will to fight
We crawl, on our knees we will bleed and breathe
We fall, no we will stop
Pure defiance stand tall
For we shall inherit the throne to which we're born
Breath, wasted on its own flesh
A cold quick whip that thins
The air around
It takes the crown
To calm the fire of a crowd within
And now the wraith stands
One finger to its lips and demands
A breath skipped and a halt of the hands
So be still and be forgotten
Broken weeps the heart that bear love for a soul
Dead, gone, and empty
Broken lay the mind that still grasps for a love
Dead, gone, and empty
Broken weeps the heart
Broken lay the mind
It breaks the will
Breathe slow, and sip the cool of the night
Let it ease, let it numb as it replaces light
Breathe slow, and sip the cool of the night
Let it ease, let it numb as it replaces light
Breathe slow

Herds of soulless dominate this lost forsaken world
So tear out my eyes I'd rather go in blind
Tear out my eyes
Kill off this cold dead heart that has stopped beating, stopped beating
Tear down the walls
Fear is such a fragile word
No marrow in its bones
And I will snap them piece by piece
As we burn like ashes, spread across the sea
Consume this world in flame
For those without a strengthened heart
For those with a broken heart
For those who’ve torn out their hearts
And those still searching for a heart
Come join us, now
But this, this appeal to life can never be revoked
We are the ones who rose above the darkness
We are the ones who tore down this darkness
I'm so sick of running
Running from your love and grace
You want to heal me of this disease
God please, put my heart at ease
Catch me God, for I cannot myself
Save me from this broken bridge
Pull this sword from my gut
I am here to stay
We are here to stay
My legs are burned out God
I've found you here
And I will run no more
I will run no more
