1. Deadworld

Drowning yourself in a world of lies
Wandering lost, until the ego dies
Perceptions been tainted by your lack of free will
We have become what we once most feared

The brilliance of the light's been dulled to grey
Denying our souls of the most noble truths
Trapped within and blined by youth

[Chorus:]
We must end this wicked game
Mourning a dead world
Empty life of relentless shame
Mourning a dead world
See through what's been taught to you
Mourning a dead world
Breathe in life and seek the truth
Mourning a dead world

As progress paves the forest and paints the sky
Cities rise like caner, rive of life is dry
Spirits of ancients will then awake a rise
The seal is broken, final sign of our demise

[Repeat chorus]

Awake and rise
Redemption fires
Burn the lies
Redemption fires

2. Stepping Outside The Circle

Here I go again
A vicious cycle without end
Seeking distance for security
A desperate act to remain free

A balance point cannot be found
This whole thing will come crashing down
Down! Down!
My fear will drag you down
Into this world that i create
Your love for me has sealed your fate

Down! Down!
My fear will drag you down
Can I trust in what i feel?
Praying that this time it's real

[Chorus:]
Feel the strain!
All this times been spent in vain, MY SHAME!
open wounds that still remain, DECAY!
As my faith is stripped away, YOU'LL STRAY!
The final price I have to pay

Digging in deeper still
The hollowness I yearn to fill
The story always ends the same
The cycle soon begins again

Stepping outside the circle!

3. Crushing Belial (Live)

First strike of the creation
Shakes the earth at its very core
Pangea shattered, humanity is scattered
Separation for evermore

Eternal conflict, waged since the dawn of time
A delicate balance waits. This evil seems to be undermined
As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides
Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies.

Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary
Flee the lies

The Godhead has been split, exiled by mankind
Although we're out of reach, His message transcending time
As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides
Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies.

Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary

How can we free this world? It soon will melt away
As we await the wrath, of a God Betrayed
How can we save this world? It soon will melt away
As we await the wrath, of a God Betrayed

Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial

Alone I am feeling caught within it's wind
When I noticed all hope is lost and blown away

Never knowing what may come
Never showing what's been done
Never knowing what may come
Never showing what's been done

Realized potential so long in denial
Cast off this shadow, escaping Belial
Redemption of the forgotten
Redemption of the forgotten

How can we free this world? It soon will melt away
As we await the wrath, of a God Betrayed
How can we save this world? It soon will melt away
As we await the wrath, of a God Betrayed

Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial

4. The First Noble Truth (Live)

As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception slips away

Lulled into a fools paradise
Words mislead again
The agony of imaginary sins and fears
Truth of suffering

Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)

Disintegration of the ego with what this mind creates
False idea of self
The cessation of continuity and becoming
True enlightenment

Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
Full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)

Will not remain enslaved
This world's transparency
I see right through
I walk alone

As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception Slips away

Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
Full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)

Extinction of thirst
Extinction of desire
Extinction of hatred
Extinction of illusion
This is absolute.

5. Fleshhold (Live)

Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why
Why you bothered to take this time
Too concerned with yours, I should think of mine

Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)

My pain is all inside
Until razor and arm collide
From my heart upon the floor
Take my blood but you take more

Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)

Take my life, you take more
Of my life, take some more
Just let me die

Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why
Why you bothered to take this time
too concerned with yours I should think of mine

Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)
Of my life, take some more.

1. Idle Hands

Just a word all it takes to set it off
Uncontrolled all restraint has been lost

Absorbing more than I can stand
Of these self defeating unreal demands
Giving into frustrations command
The devil makes good use with idle hands
Overwhelming desire to react

I am too far gone forever turning back

Looking for something to lash out at

Turning inward it is myself that I attack

The anger grows inside everyday
Unquenchable I have become my own prey

From where has this rage been spawned?
Been building deep inside for far too long
Forgotten memories buried and hidden
creating my own emotional prison

Can it be that I have lost?
Control of my actions and my thoughts

2. Thoughts Without Words

Having awareness but no true sense of self
You find yourself enslaved in chains of earthly wealth
The unending chatter that plagues the mind
Confusion will be all that you find

Chaos reigns in an untamed mind

Still question all I know advancing forward
This fallacy I have disowned

You must quench the yearning and false desire

Only balance will elevate you higher

You must train the body and the mind to serve
Envisioning thoughts without words
Chaos reigns in an untamed mind

Still question all I know advancing forward
This fallacy I have disowned

Encaged in a world that fear creates
You must release yourself and liberate

I am seeking the way...

3. Destroyer Of Senses

The sweet taste of self destruction
Insecurity wash away the memories

I keep on falling off
I keep on falling off

The agents of change have dissolved!
Into the fabric of our very existence

I keep on falling off of this straight and narrow line
The calm embrace of a sedated mind

Giver of life
Destroyer of senses
I INVOKE!
I INVOKE!
The sweet taste of self destruction

[x2]
Giver of life
Destroyer of senses
I INVOKE!

The sweet taste of self destruction
Insecurity wash away the memories

[x2]
I keep on falling off of this straight and narrow line
The calm embrace of a sedated mind
