1. A Tragedy Divine
Two star-crossed lives in full bloom
Their destinies shone in the light of the moon
A passionate treasure forbidden by all
Their romance led to a tragic fall
Two households engaged in a deadly feud
Uproarious chaos in an act so crude
Ironic is such a perennial quarrel
To unify them against their morals
Such a beautiful tragedy
Divinity's blessing of unity in death
Why does life work so deceptively?
Time will devour all that is left
The flames of desire burned in their eyes
But little did they know
They would surrender their lives
Feelings from a paradise lost
Came at such a tragic cost
Through heaven's gaze their future was seen
Their lives played out by different means
Effervescene made from fantasy
Awaiting an unknown tragedy
Such a beautiful tragedy
Divinity's blessing of unity in death
Why does life work so deceptively?
Time will devour all that is left
2. Undo Creation
As the sun rushes to meet the morning sky
An ineffable journey beings, speaking nary a lie
And as the light is cast into our eyes
Not a soul dares to whisper of demise
The sweet cadence of noontide bells
Tranquilly emerges from Fortune's well
Contriving joy in a harmonious chime
Only to become a victim of inexorable time
The heavens fall prey to dusk's cold embrace
Casting dark shadows upon the planets face
The blackening horizon eclipses the past
And Nature's sweet miracle leaves our world aghast
Now the stars have effaced a world so bright
And a silent breeze passes beneath the cold moonlight
Entwined with serenity, our world begins to fade
As the wind gently whispers its final serenade
3. Walls of Eternity
Taking control
Interrogating your existence
Reality unfolds
Pounding you into submission
An epic struggle
Perpetual paranoia
Burying some time
Until you fall from life itself
Beyond the walls of eternity
Lies a better place
Where dreams are manifest
And troubles do not exist
A place for your soul
To begin new life with eternal peace
Tragedy is lost
Misfortune has no meaning here
Epitome of life
To die and live in paradise
Forget every burden you've ever known
You are finally free
Beyond the walls of eternity
Lies a better place
Where dreams are manifest
And troubles do not exist
4. As the Mighty Fall
As the bullet breaks the skin
Life is broken from within
So false the angel sings
As a nation's lost its wings
Watch out below as your morals die
Break waves with the siren's falsetto cry
The sky bleeds in neurotic reverie
Killed off by broken-willed disease
As the wall of guilt decays
The ends of conscious start to fray
Right and wrong begin to fade
As the line that divides bleeds away
Division starts with hypocrisy
Society is brought down to its knees
As tears bleed down an innocent face
Judgement falls on a failing race
Follow me into the end
As our world collapses and judgement begins
Fall behind and watch pillars fall
Eternity's ending will spread through us all
Deception
We are led astray
As the mighty fall
This world has lost its way
Follow me into the end
As our world collapses and judgement begins
Fall behind and watch pillars fall
Eternity's ending will spread through us all
5. Breaching the Citadel
Apathy, my friend again
Hopelessness, the exalted comrade
Hindrances to invoke the end
Pillage the mind as they descend
The citadel stands strong
Impregnable to the weak
Spewing forth an ominous song
And nesting fortune at its peak
It towers over the masses
Dwarfing the spirits within
But subjugate fear and imagine
A barrier ever so thin
Prosperity will soon claim the throne
As anxiety retreats into the unknown
Walls that once stood so tall
Are now merely ashes of the fall
The citadel stands strong
Impregnable to the weak
Spewing forth an ominous song
And nesting fortune at its peak
The ruins have cleared a path
A vengeful consequence of the mind's wrath
On Fortune's wings we will soar
As immunity washes upon the shore
6. The Eyes of Solace
As heaven gazed upon an earth so impure
Divinity was ever tempted to allure
Then I saw her standing there
A maiden so fair
Enslaved by eternity
A fate she could not forbear
Solace she was for my eyes
Ameliorating life, dispelling every cry
A divine offering from heaven sent
To this world she was lent
Forged from perfection
A clandestine soul forever kept
Through her eyes
Solace arrives
Hear the cries
As we fight for our lives
An answer she was to my prayers
Serenity to dispel all fears
Cast from above
Like an angelic dove
Shielding misfortune
And teaching me to love
A tear rushed forth from her eye
For emotion she did not defy
In crystal form it struck the ground
Shattering with an ethereal sound
Though once imprisoned
Affliction then learned to fly
Through her eyes
Solace arrives
Hear the cries
As we fight for our lives
7. The Nightmare Creature
He is waiting in your dreams
Where no one can hear you scream
You try to run but he's always there
Embodying everything you fear
He'll break you from inside
And ignore your every cry
He'll call you by your name
And slowly drive your mind insane
Deep down you're your own weakness
It infects like a disease
He'll break you
Apart at your seems
Broken thoughts and shattered dreams
His torment lingers in your screams
Killing off everything you hold so dear
Your paranoia takes its toll
Fear consumes your whole existence
Your world will be destroyed by the pain you hold inside
Destroy, yourself from deep inside
And pick apart your mind
You see his face when you're all alone
Even though his face is all your own
He feeds from the fear you hide
Making it harder to confide
As you cut your senses off
And your heart begins to fall
Deep down you're your own weakness
As he dismantles your thoughts
He's in you
As every moment starts to rot
Broken thoughts and shattered dreams
His torment lingers in your screams
Killing off everything you hold so dear
Your paranoia takes its toll
Fear consumes your whole existence
Your world will be destroyed by the pain you hold inside
Your strife will lead into your death
And take your dying breath
As it leaves a crippled man
In its unforgiving path
Broken thoughts and shattered dreams
His torment lingers in your screams
Killing off everything you hold so dear
Your paranoia takes its toll
Fear consumes your whole existence
Your world will be destroyed by the pain you hold inside
8. On the Reins of Desire
