As transcended men, With a cause sent from below They oppose, Any paragons of virtue For a seed of hate to grow Propose one thought Emotions brought To fortify your assertion A defective refutation Roar! A malicious beast, Has ascended from the deep Time for war! The words of malice and rancor, My vitriol is yours to keep Dogmatics creed, Make vicious deeds A foundation forged with flaws And absent self-perception Lay this crooked soul to rest It's the least we can request Take a loss for the greater good And you'll reclaim your path No lessons can be learned, For a tender soul Who lost control All the views remain unturned Use your mouth of gold, Descent of mold Your mind has long been cold The rarity of reason rise A tragedy before our eyes Too long have voices had malevolent intent To those who can't see past, lesser dissent Mountains will crumble before they concede defeat Exclude conversion, all facts are obsolete Move straight to hate, negate what you have heard Assert, divert, to show your disconcert No lesson can be learned, For a tender soul Who lost control All the views that remain unturned Use your mouth of gold, Descent of mold All facts are obsolete

Prometheus 04:01
Take the step Fear not the dark Always search for the restless Curses given are blessings Will I let go of this or will I just transpire? When you build a truth, Be careful what you choose They will not be led and I will not die in here I carry the flame All will know my name May the fire save you all All this pain I feel My wounds will never heal The fire was my call Prometheus! Dead man's tale Endless wail Body's frail More than flesh and blood could ever stand Born titan No longer sane Numb with pain Serpents' constant degrading exhibitions of defects Torments, ambitions, piercing the sun I am Prometheus This life is just blood Reject, Torments, ambitions, piercing the sun I am Prometheus This lifetime is my payment It's contagious The story is written Dried on all the pages My destiny, chosen Bring the new dawn, Sun-child Right before the end-times My destiny, free will I chose this I carried the flame All know my name The fire saved you all When you build a truth, Be careful what you choose They could not be led and I have not died in here I carried the flame All know my name I will not be missed All the pain I feel My wounds could never heal The fire was my gift Dead man's tale Endless wail Body's frail More than flesh and blood could ever stand Dead man's tale Endless wail Body's frail

A cunning notion in my mind, A hint of mischief Lurking treachery is common here Fortifications of thick ice, malefice slumber Breach the walls without a sign of fear Acts of commotion Through hidden space Mayhem resides in the chamber of frozen blades Beyond the guise of hidden screams Appears a tome of shattered dreams In search of service for the weak, unforeseen rapture Sorrow of the servant put on hold Deceiving words through serpent teeth amidst the turmoil Master of serenity returns to cold Acts of commotion Through hidden space Mayhem resides in the chamber of frozen blades Patterns of immorality To feed profound tenacity A master, No devil Disaster, Torn apart Break the bonds of reflection Stare into the projection Walls are falling down Walls are falling down Acts of commotion Through hidden space Mayhem resides in the chamber of frozen blades Frozen

Legions 03:55
Terrified, A feeling of burning alive, Not breathing, miniscule life One with the mindless drones You pathetic worms Will-less Weakness Doomed to crawl Senseless Choke Chose to fall I will not fall, I will be tall, I will be one of few (x3) Pointless aspirations, Dead-set on a lie of luck, You need to transform… See them lord all over you Victimhood did no one good Lift the shroud, You could've been proud Legions Legions, of no allegiance (x4) Legions, of legions, of legions will rise Legions, of legions, of legions will fall Legions, of legions, of legions, dead eyes Willful downfall Get up, get up, get-get up March! Sleepless Meekness Chose to crawl Restless Croaked Too damn small I will not fall, I will be tall, I will be one of few (x3)

Stand down for what you believe Separate reality Wash my feet and you’ll never be alone My will now, you all shall atone Heretics’ last mountain of ash Special wicked caste Kneel down and swear to me, And I promise to set you free Chains forged with bonds of greed Whatever more do you need? Built To Last Human slave machine Remembrance of ages passed Wicked tongues amassed Towers for a kingly fool Spun their tales with finest wool Reverie all can believe Nothing remains true A selfish sacrifice Feed the sickness Burn in excess Bow! Dogmatics portrayal of excellence Screeching echos of violating innocence Recollect the man who died for our sins Walls painted with blood of the pacifist Human, slave, machine Human Slave Machine Human slave machine

The lack of sympathy is lucid, An aberration hard to grasp Profess the agony and its ability to diserupt mentality Hands upon the altar A new conclusion to my name Degrading remedy, these words of wisdom be The end of my mortality The gift of freedom arrived All dread has been cast aside These words forever be, marked as my enemy I can no longer pretend You claim to be a friend, Even though in the end Empty words, no correlation Shipwreck, drowning here, Leave me be Undermine my suffocation When I speak my truth, You choke me It stumps me deep inside I’ve tried to be, one like you With glee-like cyanide The gift of freedom arrived All dread has been cast aside These words forever be, marked as my enemy I can no longer pretend You claim to be a friend, Even though in the end Empty words, no correlation Shipwreck, drowning here Leave me be Undermine my suffocation (x2) The gift of freedom arrived All dread has been cast aside Those words forever be, marked as my enemy I can no longer pretend (x2) Undermine my suffocation When I speak my truth, You choke me It stumps me deep inside I’ve tried to be, one like you Rather take this cyanide

Resting sickness, Shrine of pure malignity Stillness, My own terra incognita Semblance, Distorted Elysian Absence, No free will of Mind I Find Myself in delectation Agony Cavity Ecstasy and Lust Rise, My luminous illusions Find a way to deceive me again Lies, Deprived of reality The endless echoes Fictitious memories breed I have lost all trace of conformity, Between truth and aspiration Blinded by a self-made dark harmony I'm just longing for a time When my eyes can see clear once again Rise, My luminous illusions Find a way to deceive me again Lies, Deprived of reality The endless echoes Fictitious memories breed I Tread Anguish to dust

Ligaments of pain and anger negate the quality Of a triumphant, aspiring soul What was once a swarm of hope Has turned sharp and cold, A resistance of the things meant to be Constrain emotions gist, Desecrate the lore Unable to resist Constant alteration make poisoned veins Distorted face, I am what remains Disengage somatesthesia Stay deaf to dissidents Rise again as incarnation of death Valorous attempts to show no remorse As the pain reverberates in your breath Repetitive defeat Remedy before your eyes All that's seen is pure deceit Evil laid its claim on a spirits fate Contorted bliss to hate Deprived of everything that is felicity and contentment, Left alone with a torched carcass Decrepit silhouette comes to mind It can't be shown, it must stay confined It hurts to state I am what remains, The fallen one who lost all to pain
