Periphery - Juggernaut: Alpha & Omega lyrics



Tracks



01. A Black Minute

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Our voices echo on a quiet night
Silver faces, an unholy cathedral
Moon and sun
A birthing rite in this duality
Embrace the feeling of our human skin intertwining now in ecstasy
Lie in the circle of a few who stain our bodies with their own blood
The blessing is given as the child grows
A family burdened with a line full of evil
Sacrifice
Now you can live to see another day
Embrace the feeling of our human skin intertwining now in ecstasy
Lie in the circle of a few who stain our bodies with their own blood
Our voices echo on a quiet night
Silver faces, an unholy cathedral
Moon and sun
A birthing rite in this duality
These voices echo so violently
A congregation with a line full of evil
Sacrifice
Now you can live to see another day

02. MK Ultra

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Innocent babe, shall we corrupt at such a young age
Conjure a laugh, conjure the tears amongst love
Glass brain, it will project all of the spectrum
Heart still, but his infant hands are shaking now
Start leaking all the thoughts on your mind
What's yours, is ours for the taking
Take this bruise as a sign that we own you now and forevermore
Spiral down
Disconnecting sight from sound
Control one
Innocent babe, shall we corrupt at such a young age
Conjure a laugh
Conjure the tears amongst love
Take this bruise as a sign that we own you now and forever
The poison now is your responsibility
You can finger-paint with blood on your hands
Take this bruise as a sign that we own you now and forevermore

03. Heavy Heart

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Experience these things
My chest sinks further in and it gets hard to breathe
Don't fight it, make this easy
Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It's a long road
As the water beads up on the window, turn the sad song up on the radio
Such curiosity
These thoughts go on all day
It takes hold on me, but fighting isn't easy
Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It's a long road
As the water beads upon the window, turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on and the clouds block out the rays?
When the feeling hangs upon a halo, I can only try my best just to let it go
What's left with me is a memory and the things I have to say
Resting now, their bodies hit the ground
Nightmares creep over me
I hear the sounds
Children scream, their mothers bleed hung upside down
Scarlet robes and sadistic minds surround me
I've spent all of my life confined in secrecy
What you see is but a shell of what I am on the inside
Clouds of blackness strike lightning
There's nothing above
I'm falling below
As the water beads upon the window, turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on and the clouds block out the rays?
When the feeling hangs upon a halo, I can only try my best just to let it go
What's left with me is a memory and the things I have to say

04. The Event

Music by Periphery
[instrumental]

05. The Scourge

Music & lyrics by Periphery
As I sit with eyes heavy, omens clear
Face down in seclusion
The evils steer what drives the stake within my heart
This man, he fell apart
Now that the entrance is open wide, this black all around makes its way inside
What have you done?
Will hate abide?
Where is my death invitation?
Elation?
Dead wind swirling beneath these prayers I hide
I'd give my life for a taste of what lies beyond in that place now
Live Earth rising beneath these hands untied
I'd leave my life on the line
Never one of them
I am not free
Survive
I will survive
Glass ceilings above drop rage upon them
Stone cold fist and a memory
Running on the blunt end of a blade
The blood that it spills shall start my serenade to you
I will survive
Survive

06. Alpha

Music & lyrics by Periphery
It's always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you never have
It's a goddamn, broken state of mind that we've been living in
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you never have
The less we are content the more we throw away what little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me, but still I have no adamant will to leave
What little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside
We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It's envy eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you never have
Isn't it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we need
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you never have
The less we are content the more we throw away what little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me, but still I have no adamant will to leave
What little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside
We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Show them that we're not blind!
We're not blind!
Stop bleeding on the inside
We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Fly passed the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
(Separating)
(drive me crazy)
(Separating mind)
This want is menacing and will not leave us be
Can we purge this?
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins

07. 22 Faces

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Staring at the hourglass
My life it feels like a machine running with no direction
Watching time as it draws a perception obscene from a resurrection
Choking on reality
The walls of my insides they bleed from the excess incisions
Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings from the core of me
I'm dying to see what it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out
Ice cold in the flames burning all around
So blind to the beauty of sleep
It feels like the walls are melting, freezing into me
Have I lost track of time?
Why can't I feel the burn?
Staring at the hourglass
My life it feels like a machine running with no direction
Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings in my resurrection
I'm dying to see what it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out
When the frustration makes a move, the second hand will swallow you
It's tearing a hole inside
I'm buried alive
The smell of flesh is seeping into my range
Thrashing, hoping for a better way
The push, the pull, it's tearing apart my will to thrive in the day
Pins and needles jabbing into my veins
On the verge of losing sanity
The beast tears and I can't do a thing about it
I'm dying to see what it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out
Fuck me, I am dying for sleep
What exactly is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out

08. Rainbow Gravity

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Further down this road
Where is it that we are leading the generation we know?
The answers lie down inside the mind of humanity
It's a vast, dark sea
Will we fall forever alone, down in this unknown abyss?
Where we fail is thinking our worth is something much more than this
Hold your breath
We're sinking down for miles in an ocean full of mortal mistake, where the light is much clearer
Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck?
Further we lower us down
The walls are closing in
We're cluttering
All that is meant for us is lost
Bite your tongue
Can we search a little deeper for what our actions will cost?
Will we fall forever alone, down in this unknown abyss?
Where we fail is thinking our worth is something much more than this
Hold your breath
We're sinking down for miles in an ocean full of mortal mistake, where the light is much clearer
Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck?
Further we lower us down
We set our feeble minds on the bullshit
Will we ever escape from where the light is much clearer?
Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck?
Further we lower us down
Can't we find a place where we finally can think for ourselves?
Our thoughts are unspoken
We can fly, yes, we can soar
Staring in the face what we choose to accept, but can't ignore
Our thoughts are unspoken
Life is knocking at your door
This is a calling to the human race
We are alone the more we segregate
And I won't be part of this in the end
Hold your breath
We're sinking down for miles in an ocean full of mortal mistake, where the light is much clearer
Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck?
Further we lower us down
We set our feeble minds on the bullshit
Will we ever escape from where the light is much clearer?
Is it time to purge our lungs amongst the shipwreck?
Further we lower us down

09. Four Lights

Music by Periphery

10. Psychosphere

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Silence is bringing on the heart-attack
Pushing and pulling going on within my brain
It says to lay low
Dead end
The darkness latches on
Now I am a product of a mind that wasn't ever mine and now it says "Kill them slow"
Weighed down
I'm drowning in this stale moment
Renown is yelling at me from above
This is a one way road
Kill them slow
Long ago I was forced to drink
Now I long for a taste of what stains the murder in red
Straight back to the moment of a distant memory
Strip away all the empathetic feeling towards a world that has grown absent of all my love
Sadistic aura
Dead end
The darkness latches on
Now I am a product of a mind that wasn't ever mine and now it says "Kill them slow"
Weighed down
I'm drowning in this stale moment
Renown is yelling at me from above
This is a one way road
Kill them slow
Stop fucking pulling
Will you release the grip and let go?
I've got a life to live and a lot to end
I'll hang 'em up
Leave the bloody mess all around
Bow my head then calmly walk away
Kill them slow!

11. Reprise

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Their screams will echo on a quiet night
Silver faces an unholy cathedral
Death has come
A sacrifice in this duality
The blessing is given as the children moan
A man is burdened with a life full of evil
Hungry eyes
They will not live to see another day
I'll end the feeling of a soul within, set it free in bloody ecstasy
Lie in the circle of a few who stain their bodies with their own blood

12. The Bad Thing

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Sometimes there's a crack in the world that I can peer through to see it for what it really is
There's an ugly face staring back
Demons are everywhere
They draw the hatred from inside of me
There were times at the top of the earth that I wish I could throw everyone and everything
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites
I'm bathing in the thought of it
The severed dreams of all the weak, quenching thirst inside of me
And the scream it holds the key, unlocking this for all to see
Fly past the trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves
Transcend these earthly boundaries
Fly past the trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves
Transcend their fucking boundaries
Isn't this desire that you're looking for?
Or is insanity just knocking on your door?
Give me just a piece and surely you will find, everything is better on the other side
Can you look within to find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become your whore
It's tearing a hole inside
You're buried alive
Sometimes there's a hole in the earth that I can step through to get away from the twisting of tongues
It looks a lot like a grave when I'm staring up
Feeling the soil creeping over me
There were times at the top of the earth that I wish I could throw everyone and everything
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites
I'm bathing in the thought of it
I'd like a reason just to help them bleed
Give me a reason
Fly past the trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves
Transcend these earthly boundaries
Isn't this desire that you're looking for?
Or is insanity just knocking on your door?
Give me just a piece and surely you will find, everything is better on the other side
Can you look within to find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become your whore
It's tearing a hole inside
You're buried alive
I'd like a reason just to help them bleed
Give me a reason

13. Priestess

Music & lyrics by Periphery
A shadow in these walls... Yes that is all I am
A prison deep under fortress grounds where they spill the blood of man
A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of
For now inside these walls I stay
Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow
Never mind what is underneath the stone
It's a life that we're living all alone
Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow
Light is calling from the narrow road
Sometimes kindness speaks in tongues with one of them
I can see love in her eyes
If I fall, death will never stain one of his hands
I find safety in these lies
A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of
For now inside these walls I stay
Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow
Never mind what is underneath the stone
This life we live alone
Step out in the rain and feel a deep sorrow
Light is calling from the narrow road
The chains are part of me
Stale air is all I breathe down here
I need to find a way
I'm gonna find my way far from here...
Another chance at life is fading slowly
Upon the cross I burn
Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow
Never mind what is underneath the stone
This life we live alone
Step out in the rain to feel a deep sorrow
Light is calling from the narrow road

14. Graveless

Music & lyrics by Periphery
I've held the knife to my throat for so long
Is it everything I want?
This life feels far away
Is this the time to let go and settle a life below?
Or live another fucking day?
Suffocating in a world of human filth
Yes pull me under
Stop treading in a pool of your own blood
Accept demise
Let it pour
Bleed it out
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin
I feel Beelzebub inside me
He's been here all along
Clutching every last ounce of sin from these dried up bones
Please strike me down
Fuck me... I can't repent
By my own hands, I shall bury my own life
Let it pour
Bleed it out
Feel as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin
My only love is worlds away
Thy father bless her and repay the breath they stole with all my hate
I drift away now in my sin
Let it pour
Bleed it out
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin

15. Hell Below

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Further I'm hurled down
The colors shift from red to gray
This is a realm of damaged spirits and I can't see the light...
Only the gaze of his eyes
The demons drag me down
Clawing for the heavens, they pull
I can feel them violently consuming me
No body, no mind, a spirit left to die
Finally they've collected me
The sound of misery in death has now begun
This is over
My death has now begun
Live, die, burn
Fucking live, die, burn
Further I'm hurled down
The colors shift from red to gray
This is a realm of damaged spirits and I can't see the light
Only the gaze of his eyes

16. Omega

Music & lyrics by Periphery
I see a flash
Is this sleep?
Am I in a dream?
The past sees me and it won't let go
Greeted by those I've killed along the way, because I am the destruction
The past sees me and it won't let go
A demon born out of their rite in throes
This is the truth
I am a demon born out of their rite in throes
Soiled by the world of man
I am the destruction
I am fear
I am sin
I am the destruction
This memory ignites
The past sees me
Visions of me grow
Greeted by family
Painting dissolution and a life of an insect
The past it will not let me go
I'm lost within my own soul
A ghost within times of old
The clock turns back, but is this real?
Tell me, is this real?
A demon born out of their rite in throes
This is the truth
I am a demon born out of their rite in throes
Soiled by the world of man
I am destruction
I am fear
Born to destroy
Transcending boundaries of affliction
I've learned from past experience I am a monster
Disgust and horror flash before me in fire burning down below
Holy desire
This stain will never wash off of my grave
Physical life has wandered
Here I stay, in death
Take pity on a soul and grant me resurrection
Grant forgiveness
This is only but a dark reflection
Regret is ripping the throat from my neck
Now I can't speak
I wander
Here in death, I weep
Take pity on a soul and grant me resurrection
Grant forgiveness
This is only but a dark reflection
Hell bound
Past death
Nothing can save me
Longing for something beyond
Embrace the feeling of a soul within
Realizing this is what we need
Inside the circle that's a mystery to our eyes and what we shall perceive
Stop bleeding on the inside
We are alive, and it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Show them that we're not blind

17. Stranger Things

Music & lyrics by Periphery
Wandering below the hadean seal
Shaking, mortified, making my way back to nowhere
This skeletal mask brings a demon of the day
There never would have been a light if the messenger in still life had regard for the son of the damaged soul
Send the mirror falling
Heavens see that this man once had value among all the golden
But eccentric revisions in life brought on decay
Take submission from a man in control
Set the sail blowing, search for peace
A loose feeling consuming me
Blood is spent
A token for my sacrifice
Fallen angel, you speak my name
The needle turns, the hourglass is spinning around
Give it, I want it... a sense of a fucking life
I can almost feel mine at home
Selfish cries
I am diseased
Let it pour out and show what has healed
One can finally find what's left in this masochistic personality
In a holy bond we live
Take a breath for seconds in this moment
Sail upon the open skies
Exhale your death and feel life, like water raining from above
Majestic aura
Take in my breath and lock eyes with a world once absent of your love
Majestic aura
Blood is spent
A token for my sacrifice
The tortured realm has released my name
I can feel my body parting with this world
Rebirth is starting from within
I'm born some place beyond your time
Selfish cries
Flaunt disease
Own what's mine
Death upon my knees
Let it pour out and show what has healed
One can finally find what's left inside this masochistic personality
In a holy bond we live
Take a breath for seconds in this moment
Sail upon the open skies
Floating up above the hadean seal
Sounds of ambient voices will lead me from nowhere
This skeletal mask brings a demon of the day
