The Overseer
08:25
|
|||
|
I play the role of the overseer
Paralyzed by fear
My puppeteer
In this place of pain
You and I remain
Swaying to the sounds of our love’s bane
Tormented endlessly
Forced to oversee
By powers beyond me
A slave to fear I’ll forever be
I sit and stare
Conjuring love that was never there
Trepidation seeps through me
Now I oversee
The pain of maturity
Evades my all-seeing eye
To writhe in great agony
All to avoid saying goodbye
I will tolerate sadness
For fear is forever my shepherd
I fail with greatest prowess
Knowing I’m forever tethered

At the Edge of Existence
06:22
|
|||
|
Writhing in the utmost failure
On this path alone, no savior
The gift of progress, unknown to me
Drowning with enough flaws to fill the sea
Succumbing to weakness
A trait beyond my control
In a prison of my own making
With no chance of parole
Immune to all transformation of the self
I have wished and I will wish once more
But there will be no relief for my exhausted soul
Sinking further everyday
This pain takes my life away
Grant me a most horrid death
So at last I may rest
This pain is in control
Never coming home
Into the abyss of pain and suffering
Never to return to this life of misery
Hold me tight as I descend
Death remains my only friend
I’m at the edge of my existence

Ruin
14:39
|
|||
|
Show me worlds without pleasure
Where temptation is forever severed
Oh, I can imagine
All I’d accomplish when relapse can’t happen
Regress into ruin
Hear the sound of my undoing
So I continue to fail
(Locked in this jail)
Ceaseless attempts to make bail
Regress into ruin
The sound of my undoing
Regress into ruin
The sound of my undoing
There is no escape
From this awful fate
Destined forever to masturbate
No end in sight
Nobody hears my cries
Here I lay
Here I die
Endless cycle
There’s no escape
Straying further every day
No man could ever try to save
My fractured soul
From this fate
Give in to the weight
Embrace
Suffocate
From the dawn of time
Now I realize
Predisposed to pleasure
Downfall you can’t despise
I have seen
These things most obscene
They manipulate my mind
To think most horrid things
Unto my demise
You have failed for the last time
Prepare to die

Colossal
05:23
|
|||
|
Acknowledging simply isn’t enough
To conquer the demons that never let up
I know all too well what I have to do
Though every time, paralysis ensues
Days pass quickly
My ends draws near
I try to change, my mind just sneers
Inconsistent, uncommitted change
My life is a colossal let down
I always paddle, I always drown
Treading through miles of defects
To rest requires reset
It’s easier said than done
Yet the easy way is for everyone
A battle of such gargantuan scale
Is not for the weak and frail
My fate seems set in stone
My choices are: surrender or grow
I’ll have to slay corrupting thoughts
Where they stand
The pressure’s on me to understand
What makes a sheep?
What makes a man?
Am I capable of making change in my lifespan?
Swimming without aim no more
I’ll put my back into the oar
I search for a shore
A colossal failure I'll be no more

Where None Survive
06:33
|
|||
|
Bury the flaws
In a place where none survive
Submerged alive
Concealing all cries
Convicting qualities
I don’t wish to keep
Six feet deep
Vile vault of eternal sleep
There is no shred of hope for all the parts of me I deem
Unworthy of my fellowship along life’s vicious stream
An extinction of all flaws
Eradicating all
Ignore the brain’s cries
Let’s slay the parts we despise
To pave the road for a better world
Cast away these useless ties
To that place where none survive
Allow this bliss to forever unfurl
Ceaseless bleeding
Now close your heart to feelings
They‘ll only lead you astray
Your prey will escape
My failures will not define me
This holocaust shall set me free
Ignore the brain’s cries
Let’s slay the parts we despise
To pave the road for a better world
Cast away these useless ties
To that place where none survive
Allow this bliss to forever unfurl

Of Creation
05:18
|
|||
|
The choice is mine to become God
I have the power to ditch facades
To be ideal, to feel complete
All of this, within my reach
Mold me a new heart
A beautiful soul for when I restart
Writhing in the womb of change
These qualities, I rearrange
Confronting pain
Someday I won’t be the same
When I’ll abstain
Forever I will reign
Bound by the pleasure
I’d force feed and tether
All ties between me and my life
Endlessly searching for high after high
The secret of creation passes me by
There is no way back
Only through
Do the work
Through the hurt
The sound of my undoing
Go!

Killing Machine
08:12
|
|||
|
Deep within
The essence of addiction
Fuels my fate
Morbid encounters with pleasure have made
A killing machine out of me
My new purpose
Is to slay
All of the pieces
That built yesterday
Show no mercy
To the fiends
That stole the life of my dreams
Feel the hatred
Burn within
Now use it to cleanse my sins
Show no mercy
To the fiends
That stole the life of my dreams
Feel the hatred
Burn within
Now use it to cleanse my sins
To cleanse my sins
To cleanse my sins
How could I possibly be this weak
Addiction and impulse are for the meek
My new purpose
Is to slay
All of the pieces
That built yesterday
Will I finally be free of this dream?
And the awful, ceaseless screams?
This fighting has persisted without end
I battle to fix, to tie and to mend
Show no mercy
To the fiends
That stole the life of my dreams
Morbid encounters with pleasure have made a killing machine
A killing machine out of me

Last Light
16:28
|

|
Is this the end?
It seems now I’ve lost you, friend
It’s time to move on
Crafting a new life, now that you’re gone
Just ‘cause the sun
Has set on our days, ending our fun
Does not mean that I am done
I must go on
I’ve yet to encounter tomorrow’s dawn
Finding the things
That give me meaning
Now that the sun’s
Descended below the horizon
I must believe
The dawn will come
This is not the end
For me, old friend
I will rise again
Stronger than then
This is not my last light
‘Tis only the night
Send me to darkest depths
I will climb till my death
For I know the darkness fools me
I won’t lay my head to rest
I have a goal, I have a quest
My aim is to be my very best
Go!
I won’t lay my head to rest
I have a goal, I have a quest
I won’t lay my head to rest
I have a goal, I have a quest
Now here I am
Standing once again
Having beaten back
The petty past
New journeys unfold
I don’t think I’ll forget the old
But I’m thankful for it was my mold
This is not the end
For you, dear old friend
This is not the end
For you dear old,
Dear old friend

Mightiest am I
But I am not alone in this cosmos of mine
For the black hills consist of black souls
Souls that have already died one thousand deaths
Behind the stone walls of centuries they breed their black art
Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold
Far up in the mountains
Where the rain fall not far
Yet the sun cannot reach
The wizards, my servants
Summon the souls of macrocosm
No age will escape my wrath
I travel through time and I return to the future
I gather wisdom now lost
I visit again the eternally ancient caves
Before a mighty emperor thereupon came
Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded
By the old demons, even unknown to me
Once destroyed their souls are being summoned
To my timeless prison of hate
It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls
That were destroyed in my future
How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not
My empire has no limits
From the never ending mountains black
To the bottomless lakes
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long
I am them
From the never ending mountains black
To the bottomless lakes
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long
My wizards are many, but their essence is mine
Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief
Because I am the spirit of their existence
I am them
I am them
I am them
