01. Common Walls

Music by Hedlin
Lyrics by Lindqvist/Hedlin
I tremble beneath my falling senses
All shapes turning grey
Postpone every direction
My remains within fade

Scaling common walls in unrest
Minds flawed by expectations
The grasp of time for long gone
Search the past for revelations

Sunken eyes
Moment still clear
Forced to see
Myself in need

Mind in wait
For new ways to be
Eager to flee
To the stars

In tiresome circles I've been lost
All tracing to the dead side here
In tiresome circles I've been lost
Levels not profound my present still
My strive sunken down to levels low
All tracing to the dead side here
Have to scale these common walls again
Levels not profound by present still

Another bleak line
A scratch into the wall
One day defined
Welcoming my fall

Swiftly strafing
Still nimble as goals set my pace
Turning bleak
My lacking will fades

02. During Day One

Music & lyrics by Hedlin
When we rewrote the alphabet
The distant sounds of creation
All unconnected, no retrospect
Keep your faith in this hour,
Our sensation

Waste away
Ruined day

A new, dawn for the dreamer
A new day, waiting for you
A place, yet to discover
Nothing's solved, time passes through

Tried to save
Ruined day

Idle hands
Slaughtered the thirst for the night
This day one
Given the first rays of light

Mind
Soul
Gather thoughts
Enter dreamstate now
Face
Left

Find
Day
Sun shines through
Enter real world now
Phase
Left

Idle hands
Slaughtered the thirst for the night
This day one
Given the first rays of light
Slaughtered the thirst for the night

03. Symbiotic

Music by Björkman
Lyrics by Lindqvist/Huldtgren
New forms rise
Bound to the earth
Eternity, serenity
Gone when life arrived

Giving birth to the core of all coming sins
Breeding from the soil
Walking, through the shadows
Mindscapes, pass us by
Masses, drain the world

From the dirt we arose
Only to see the skies
Yet the sun embraced us
From the very moment of wonder
Thankful words went unspoken
A lost sense, of man

In this world
Lies secrets unknown
Buried deep, not to seek
Knowledge do we crave

Fueling our goals with remains from the past
Leads us to our graves
Searching, in the shadows
Failing, on our selves
Masses, face the end

The golden era, meets another crumbling civilization, as our lifelines are turned to choking vines
The blades of evolution are drowned in rust

Beings of the sickening
Plant the seeds to spread
Forevermore
In bloodied hopes we dwell
Environmental sacrifice
Forge the stakes beneath
Before our fall,
As we leave the ground

Systemized, triggered lifeforce
This gift forbidden, we must form
We where given life, not denied
Of whom we thrive?

We rightfully claim this world
Lashing back as vanity occurs

Supremacy, earthly reign
Once again
Humanity fades away
Return, the light of day

Finalized, triggered downfall
Infinity gone, as we are
We where give life, yet denied
Now left to die

We hatefully blame this world
Lashing back as vanity, vanity

Silence sweeps, across the plains
Depletion forced us to these strains
A chapter is ending, a new life descending
As we fall back, into serenity... again

04. Shades Of Truth

Music by Hedlin
Lyrics by Huldtgren
What is this dark omen
That hides behind our truth
Singing its praises to the masses

What is then to become of us
Destined to be hiding
Showing the difference in their classes

From slanted angles
The image no longer is clear
Second by second
It's swallowed by the truth

They hide

Now these angels, looking at us
Wondering what we know
Seeing how we differentiate
Our own shades of truth

What are these divisions
Lies the question ascertained
Throwing its shadow upon the masses

What about our biased angels
Seeing only an empty face
Prism-like divisions of dust

They hide

Thoughtless eyes view the spectacle
Defining truth
Mindless thoughts hear the cries
Denying truth

Thoughtless eyes view the spectacle
Defining truth
Mindless thoughts hear the cries
Denying truth
Voiceless minds fear the verdict
Destroying truth
