Indicatrix 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Refraction of the light Scattering every frame Shining contrition Bending beyond the sight Facets that will reclaim Will and volition So heal me or kill me or let these lesions fill me Expanding into death of everything that ever will be I've got it all except the time I've got it all except the time So it goes to show What we all should know Lies beyond our understanding now Hands that dig a hole Fast to free the soul Bracing for a safer landing now Abhor me deplore or let the world ignore me Expanding into black just as it always was before me I had it all except the time I had it all except the time So it goes to show What we all should know Lies beyond our understanding now Hands that dig a hole Fast to free the soul Bracing for a safer landing now Bracing for a safer landing now

Prayers Of Indifference 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Fervent the prayers of indifference Filling their coffers with the blood of the innocent Bodies are laid in the ground He lays his head safe and sound Sink into the fate Further isolate Bowing under the fear This path that I'm on Is a fortunate one When the ending is near The ending is near Disdain is all that I can confide Swelling the wake into a boiling tide Endorse the campaign of death Profit from blood they have shed Sink into the fate Further isolate Bowing under the fear This path that I'm on Is a fortunate one When the ending is near The ending is near Burn me gone

Decay Inside 05:24
lyrics
buy track
I was easy to hook (hook) It was barely but just a taste Erase the day All it took was a look Two sides of the same face Ending the same Oooo a slithering serpent Suicide is spreading wings Dark welcoming Though the fight isn't over But the knot is tightening Self-guillotine Refuse the other way, untried Relieved of this decay inside Relieved of this decay inside When the hatred is sacred Does the mirror reflect the same In fractured frame Does the suffering subside If the pain is draining veins Divine disdain Refuse the other way, untried Relieved of this decay inside Relieved of this decay inside Inside

Ever Ethereal 04:40
lyrics
buy track
A breathless atmosphere Vexes a choking Guilt involuted Entrance occluded Either it means nothing or everything Ever ethereal All we see The time ephemeral Dissolves me Dividing disarray Forcing the fallacy Guilt convoluted Conscience excluded Compare their outsides to my insides Ever ethereal All we see Now lies expendable Absolving Ever ethereal All we see The time ephemeral Dissolves me Dissolves me

Chasing The Ghost 03:36
lyrics
buy track
An insidious elixir that frees but also binds Uncoils the spring as it secretly rewinds Dead bitter chill reveal the trembling hands Return again with buried head in the sand Disfiguring All that i thought i would see Dessicating Withering But every fiber of being Still craving It's not a poison for most Cutting it close To the time I wasted chasing the ghost Chasing the ghost Blunting pain splitting the center of chest Head hanging into a hollow confess When did the water turn into wine Withering me on rotting vine Disfiguring All that i thought i would see Dessicating Withering But every fiber of being Still craving The poison made by the dose Cutting it close As the thorn becomes the price of the rose The way it goes It's not a poison for most Cutting it close To the time I wasted chasing the ghost Forget the time I wasted chasing the ghost Chasing the ghost

When Flame Is Quickest 04:58
lyrics
buy track
The iron sharpens our own Trusting within to lay the grind the stone Fist to the fist is the promise of this No war is won all alone (But) Life doesn't end because you just don't get it Lost and anchorless It all keeps spinning around The time it takes is the highest of stakes Indifference crushes down Straight down When first response is To bury head in the sand Untying idle hands Reveals the measure of man On and on All along The flame is quickest when the wick isn't long The dream is never gone All walls are cornering in Inveterate even when faced with the end No sure asylum Will pacify the condemned Unbroken, unbowed Untying idle hands Reveals the measure of man On and on All along The flame is quickest when the wick isn't long The dream is never gone On and on The flame is quickest when the wick isn't long On and on All along The flame is quickest when the wick isn't long The dream is never gone On and on All along The night is blackest at the breaking of dawn The dream will carry us on The dream will carry us on

Scrape 04:04
lyrics
buy track
We are gathered here today To bid adieu to the gravity To condescend and amend our depravity Encapsulated by the state of a fear Along the lines of severe Tread in dread of what's left here It's not a choice for us to make Beneath the broken stones we lay When every single word that ever will be heard The undertow will wash away So turn this scratch into a scrape To let the bleeding To let the bleeding It's almost worst when the fate is betrayed As if a thought to persuade As if it's not a feeling disarrayed Disarrayed It's not a choice for us to make Beneath the broken stones we lay When every single word that ever will be heard The undertow will wash away So turn this scratch into a scrape To let the bleeding To let the bleeding The only one that I can never forgive Lies within me However negative sometimes it takes a sieve to live It's not a choice for us to make Beneath the broken stones we lay When every single word that ever will be heard The undertow will wash away So turn this scratch into a scrape To let the bleeding To let the bleeding

A Sort Of Serenity 04:58
lyrics
buy track
Long lose the ending that was written Yellowed with age tattered and frayed edge Into the sky it lies forbidden Until we step down from that ledge Down from that ledge Forever true we find the same As all the ones before us came Digging into the skin As a sort of serenity It takes a life to see the end To see the end Relenting to those years that scarred Persist, resist Against the impulse to discard Choosing secure through depravation I take my life to know for sure Forever true we find the same As all the ones before us came Digging into the skin As a sort of serenity It takes a life to see the end Final chance to ascend To a sort of serenity It takes a life to see the end To see the end

The Great Imperator 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Awakening, a vision unnatural Bordering surreal There was a time when the movements had mattered But the time has long since gone And now regret is indescribable All is known so let me go Where this belongs A chance to cope Is a shred of hope All that keeps me holding on It keeps me holding on To trip the line A trigger emphatic Quickly ending life Imperator, a dead corridor Have and to hold is An exit from the cold Defy the great imperator All is known so let me go Where this belongs A chance to cope Is a shred of hope All that keeps me holding on Awaken, the disordered mind Unshaken, though the harm keeps raining down Until an issue of safety I won't survive again Won't survive again

Death Rules 07:45
lyrics
buy track
Cold and calming Eyes fixed in a daze Fatal forming Fading final days Existential Fraying mind with dread Inferential Foreboding ahead Foreboding ahead It's not a point of view Or anything to question This is the way it ends There is no ascension Holding the hours few In this dimension This is the way it ends for me The way I cease existing Replicating Mass affecting all Sucking aura Slowing to a crawl Interventions Quickening to fail No prevention Languishing to frail To frail It's not a point of view Or any thing to question This is the way it ends There is no ascension Holding the hours few In this dimension This is the way it ends for me The way I cease existing It's not the life I chose It is the life I'm left with It's not the way I chose It is what has been chosen for me Aaaaaa fuck it all Death rules everything around me
