01. Knife In The Safe Room

Call it escape to stay alive
Call it displacement
with sunken eyes
When all it takes to reignite
Is separation of
thought and sight
Drought flood
bathing in blood
Sacred arrangement
of god as a son
Drown any semblance
Of power of privilege of state
The plight of the sainthood
The harmony of
gluttony and lust
The knife in the safe room
Without the business of death
bringing glory what's left
A celebration of blood
My arrow is true
Another self given wound
They all come from above
To kill everything
that you love
Control and everything
you know
Is in the life you left
Is in the life you hold
Back then you never
see the head
Disconnected flesh
disconnected soul
The unseen unfolds
Who the pariah heeds
The pariah holds
This is the confession
Of an obsessive
former human
The only one who
tried to stop
This world from consuming
And devouring itself

02. This Is The Truth

The day after dawn
The knight moves
on the pawn
Why are we so violent
To grasp at the unknown
Because there's so much
That we can't see
Not your prophet your
muse or your comedy
Tragic endings sad defeats
A monument to the guilty
They brought this disease
The truth never sleeps
Cold and lifeless
suspended belief
Blinded unable to breathe
The royal blood
The tired sheep
Arcane cursing death
Nihilistic innocence is gone
I've been consumed
Now I've lost all desire
I lost myself in the choir
Never once never give it the
Pleasure of power
Alone in it's tower
I've lost the will to
lie to myself
I've been to hell I've
seen the ruse
This is the truth
We're all being used

03. Timeless Numbers

I was born with a
poisoned lung
Born under a blacked out sun
Where I lost my
everything all at once
They overdeveloped us
We underproduced them
You don't blame them
for what they did
I do this is the end time
What is this place
Who are these beings
They look like us
Something's different
deceiving
The original crime
To conquer to divide
Death from the beginning
The end of all life
Timeless numbers
Where everyone's been
bought and sold
There will always be a
failure to guide us
There will always be
a loss of control
So bless me with death
For this life has failed me
Rest for the unrest
This was forever
And now that I've
seen your face
And looked you in
those hollow eyes
I see the reason
The story of a world
consumed
Timeless numbers of
prior life forms
All have been lost
And in the wake of it all
After they'd drilled
to the core
The blast was everlasting
The blood will always pour
Let no one wake you
Forgive or forsake you
The eye of the creator
Is blind to us all

04. None Of This Is The Truth

Sadistic intent
The modern cynic
Venom spitters fatalistic
Poison seeping
These machines are
never sleeping
The illusion of power
The life and the death
of a coward
I know now we're lost
I know now you're gone
Born into this post
modern trauma
Severed intentions
Tethered affection
All encompassing
Domination
The fall of the state
Division disorder
Annulled of every treason
These machines prey
on the weakest
No moderation
You're either dead or
you're complacent
No end no love no one
None of this is the truth

05. The Flesh & The Flowers Of Death

There is no versus
There is no together
A perverse salvation
Romanticized failure
Bloodlust incarnate
Bloodlust eternal
The final breath of
your enemy
The savage recital
Of war hymns forgotten
These war pigs for profit
This is the pioneer's harvest
This land is nothing is no
one's and has never been
Bloodlust surrounding
Bloodlust within
The flesh and the flowers
Of death bringing
glory to cowards
These are the tyrants
The lovers of power
We are loyal to none
I have drank their blood and
I have lived a thousand lives
Now I am never forever
And the moon will
continue to rise
A curse on the light of the sun
All hail the darkness
All hail the unholy

06. Those Who Survived

The ones who strayed
The ones who were
left behind
This looks like something
someone would try to hide
Those who survived
Are those with blood
in their eyes
Push the pressure
Add more fuel to the fire
Stop submit admit
you've lost control
Salute as you plummet
to your doom
Fall in prepare yourself for the
Cold calculated
chemical embrace
I've been waiting and
we've all been warned
We all knew this day
would come
And yet we ignored
We're all going down
We're all going to burn
I feel the presence of another
An ancient one
Pulling us closer
The time has come
Brace yourself for the impact
From the wreckage
we crawled
Broken and bloodied
we go on
We must move forward
We must continue
into the beyond
Now all I see is their blood
And all I've ever
known is gone
And yet we ignored

07. Another Headless Ruler Of The Used

The classic tale of the wolf
The saga of sheep
Surrender transcendance
Surrender humility
The origin of violence
We open on
Godless prophets
Liars entombed
Another headless
ruler of the used
The dreadful one
Takes a step back to reveal
A forwardness unwelcome
To harbor conceal
And if what I see is real
The world is full of
War this confusion
More there is no plan
War no divination
More the creation of man
The gallows haunt
the sediment
Selective odds
The sacrifice is real
The sacrifice of youth
The solace of the steel
And if what I know is true
We sacrifice to

09. Enter Oblivion

I am no one
I have no home
Forsaken daughters
Forsaken sons
Enter oblivion
My eyes shut
My head awake
Been following the one
thing that never stays
Salvation you never get
Been following the
sun so it never sets
I have no fear anymore
I've bled my life
For foolish devotion
And foolish pride
Lay waste dying day
Tourniquet
Turn away
Surrounding vacant
hollow trees
All left to wander endlessly
It never bleeds
It never dies
Oblivion

10. The Last Of The Monuments

Enter the endless time
Enter the never mind
The sit and wait it will change
This is the paradigm
On the mend on the descent
On a pilgrimage to the
last of the monuments
This is the end
I see the sun go down
for one final time
This desert is alive
And all the engines have died
I see no reason to hide
Though we should
cease to speak
My vision has blurred
Legs have gone weak
I fear I'm starting to repeat
But we've come too far
Too far to retreat
Beyond the point of no return
The point of defeat
On bloody feet
From here on out
The thorns and the scorn
of the earth unforgiving
This is the sound of it
breaking you down
With a vengeance
The stench of regression
And in the end the
flora reconquered
Order restored a world reborn
I've seen the blood
I've smelled the rot of
their self destruction
We are the subjects
We are the sword
We are the last of the
invading hordes

11. In The Name Of Us All

To become one and the same
To erase to rebuild
and reclaim
The new evolution
Humanity is bored
It"s selling for sport
And hunting for more
Creation banal nothing is new
When all that you want
has already been used
I reject you in the
name of us all
I should be afraid I should
be ashamed yet I
When there is no
joy in discovery
We hallucinate into
Psychic progression
Or is it just a set up
A monolithic realm
Spiraling tunneling down
I don't feel anything at all
Be gone forget
Out of our heads
out of this life
Worship the knife
Celebrate death with
your celibate wife
Cut through skin
fear the knife
I don't care how you
wasted your life
I don"t feel anything for you
For you were the cause

12. Beneath It Sleeps

Beyond the reaches of
A thousand rising suns
Your god won't
save you now
Your god always was
Infected plagiaristic
Simple to understand
With no obligation to the
true nature of the land
Defy derelict devil in a suit
A celebrated life
A celebrated tomb
I've looked away
I've cast aside
Stared into the emptiness
A vacant heart a vacant mind
Now I can see it clear
Enter the overgrown
Separated and selected
The blood of my
blood will defy
I love the fear of night
I love the moon
I hate to wake you up
This may all be over soon
This is my final entry
I feel I may have finally
Cracked the code
To sustaining and
maintaining
A vibrant and healthy
Human life
Maybe it's nothing but
I swear I hear the birds of
The morning hours
It makes my heart
go a-flutter
The tower once
risen to power
Has crumbled is dying
And devouring itself
And what I've come
to discover
Has been nothing more than
