[Verse]
In the flames,
I take shelter
Hiding from what I am
In the flames,
I seek refuge
A haven fit for me
In the flames,
None can touch me
Alone but not lonely
In the flames,
Where none can see
I found the place for me
[Bridge]
The skin,
Melting slowly
This blissful agony
The shame,
From all deeds
Gone for eternity
[Chorus]
Now soaring high
I am in the sky
Ashes travel fast
I'm alone at last
Heaven could not see
I will never be
Motherless,
Fatherless
All will burn
Flame
Light the fire
Flame
Flame
Smoke is rising
Flames will cleanse you
Fire
Light the fire
Fire
Fire
Smoke is rising
Fire will set you free
[Verse]
All my life
Fire caught me
Showed me who I am
Now I know,
What's my purpose
Dare you burn with me?
[Chorus]
Now soaring high
We are in the sky
Ashes travel fast
We're alone at last
Heaven will not see
We could never be
Motherless,
Fatherless
All shall burn
Stoke the pyre
Stoke the fucking pyre
[Verse]
In the flames,
I will rest now
And you by my side
In the flames,
Us together
Warm for eternity
In the flames,
I take shelter
Hiding from what I’ve done x2

[Verse]
Bad idea to set fire to your dreams
In my head all I hear is fucking screams
A cavalcade with surgical precision
The tribute of gold is paid in flesh
Bleeding knees won't get you there
On this ride to nowhere
Let it sink in, but not too deep
Never know what lurks beneath
[Pre-chorus]
Seen the world through eyes immoral
(Immoral)
Collecting for a greater force
(Greater force)
Harbinger, the die is cast
(The die is cast)
Sense the life once lost
[CHORUS:]
Spend some time where time is kept
Figure out the human depth
See the light where darkness glows
Find astray when all is lost
Listen to this tale of woe
Have no fear but fear them all
Listen to these words my friend,
Never seen again (x2)
[Verse:]
Another time might be all that it takes
Close your eyes before it awakes
Pierce the veil, anomaly found
It's not at all divine
[Pre-chorus]
Feel the plane with all it's quarrel
(Feel the plane)
Completion of a collected form
(Completion)
Harbinger, we die when cast
(Die when cast)
Sense the life once more
[CHORUS]
Spend some time where time is kept
Figure out the human depth
See the light where darkness glows
Find astray when all is lost
Listen to this tale of woe
Have no fear but fear them all
Listen to these words my friend,
Never seen again
[Outro]
Spend some time with all your troubles
Witness the great divine
Faltering on a surface level
How does it feel? We all rush to die
We all rush to die
Rush into demise
Fucking rush to die!

[Verse]
I have seen perdition
Felt I was sent on a mission
Still I tread this path
Full of liars, cheaters, whores
The worst kind of scumbags
Please, fill up the body bags
Dig your own shallow graves
Take the fall and be reborn
[Pre-chorus]
Dead hand
Have lost the grip
I hate the me
I see in you
[Chorus]
Why do I sense you again?
Why do I feel this pain?
Time and time again
I cannot refrain
Wanted to do good
But I never could
Cursed right from the start
With my blackened heart
[Verse]
Empty gaze
Full of lies
You taught me hate
Time has come to set this straight
(Time has come to set this straight)
[Chorus]
Why do I sense you again?
Why do I feel this pain?
Time and time again
I cannot refrain
Wanted to do good
But I never could
Cursed right from the start
With my blackened heart
I hate the me
That I've always seen in you
[Chorus Outro]
Why have you come again?
Only to bring me pain?
Time and time again
I will not be made… Whole!
[End-Chorus]
Wanted to do good
But I never could
Cursed right from the start
With my blackened heart

Embrace The Nothing
05:15

We've been digging through cursed soil
Without reward, our blood still boil
A promise failed, from mouth divine
Sent us forward, abhorrent lies
"Carry onward, don't bend your back
Stay on the fence, wait to attack"
This is our world,
Can we unite?
Or stay unlit til the end of times?
When the silence speaks,
The mind trembles
Searching for,
What is not there
Embrace the nothing
Escape for a minute,
Get stuck for a while
This existence failed us,
This world can wither and wilt
[Chorus:]
Was I inhuman?
Or just inhumane?
Have I reached the end?
Embrace the nothing
Am I even human?
Or just someone's slave?
Stay blind to the world,
And embrace the nothing
We've been drinking the poisoned water
Still alive, we share the blame
What is to be, whatever was?
Have we even souls to sell?
Spent some time where Death had stranded
And within I found a friend
Whispered lies, countless times
I could not see that in the end...
It's time to break free,
Time to finally see
And I have seen your virtues
And I see you're all doomed to hell
I will witness you fall,
The end of it all
And with the silence abound,
Embrace the nothing
[Chorus:]
Was I inhuman?
Or just inhumane?
Have I reached the end?
Embrace the nothing
Am I even human?
Or just someone's slave?
Stay blind to the world,
And embrace the nothing
[Break:]
The stream of lies,
A thousand times
From rotted lips
They all spew forward
Berate the truth,
No longer found
How does it feel to be divine?
Your truth,
Your word
Your dying breath upon this earth
Scorched flesh
Flawed heart
Have come to take what was never mine
We've been digging through cursed soil
Without reward, our blood still boil
A promise failed, from mouth divine
Sent us forward, abhorrent lies
"Carry onward, don't bend your back
Stay on the fence, wait to attack"
This is our world,
Can we unite?
Or stay unlit til the end of times?
