1.	Tome Of Deceit 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Cries! A child is born anew tonight Baptized in light and swaddled tight Innocence unbridled shining bright The only glimpse of life before the lies A twisted fable in disguise The flock led to their own demise A lifelong death sentence without trial When warring faiths live in denial Historic fallacy exemplary Bound to the creed of the tome of deceit A long and drawn out liars' decree Confounded Confined within their beliefs Onward the apostles read The prophecy of hypocrisy An odyssey in utter mockery To sow the seeds of theocracy Father! I come to thee, I must lament I must confess I fear descent If god truly is omnipotent I fear we shan't be heaven sent The atrocities I've seen, to me I keep But I'm far too gone to try to save Counting beads on rosaries Won't stop the flames from burning free. Historic fallacy exemplary Bound to the creed of the tome of deceit A long and drawn out liars' decree Confounded Confined within their beliefs Onward the apostles read The prophecy of hypocrisy An odyssey in utter mockery To sow the seeds of theocracy Lies! When you lay upon your bed of death Taken your last breath and laid to rest And you've left this world of the bereft No afterlife awaits the end
2.	The Sleep Of Reason 02:54	lyrics	buy track
The sleep of reason produces monsters so they say They keep insisting nightly prayers will keep my hell at bay A trivial list of uselessness to charm my dreams away The frequency increases, seems to me they're here to stay Deny the offering, wind through the madness of my mind Drift into darkness, my consciousness is left behind Transported in an instant, so lucidly I toe the line All perceptions, recollections wholly misaligned Disturbingly unpleasant fever dreams Rehashing scenes of horror ridden screams Twisting morbid visions won't relent Forced to reenact all life's regrets Hallucinations of epic proportions I am forsaken They repeat nocturnally, I can't awaken Retrace the countless stumbled footsteps that I've taken Each door I break in wrong, each face exaggerated So taken back, I'm overwhelmed forced to look into myself What's left of me a tragedy, an open book thrown off the shelf Ripped open wide torn up inside my thoughts become the lines The words and phrases drip off the pages right through my fucking grasp Disturbingly unpleasant fever dreams Rehashing scenes of horror ridden screams Twisting morbid visions won't relent Forced to reenact all life's regrets I'm fading fast.... I don't know how long I can last I don't know how long I can last, I'm fading fast The present and the future fusing with the past I become the alpha and omega, the first and very last This mortal vessel cast aside the human shell surpassed Devoid of feeling I'm stripped of all humanity No intervention just simply nothing left to be Then in my absence assumptions spiral rapidly When someone finally finds me, they'll say I died in my sleep
3.	Citadel Of Death 03:26	lyrics	buy track
The morning condensation, vaporized by the arid desert sun Under sapphire skies echo tales of battles lost and won Reigning over the land on an Isolated rock plateau Ruins of an ancient fortress tell of sagas long ago For eons it lay undiscovered Concealed inside truths foretold Archaeologists excavations Revealing the bygone days of old Wall paintings, bath houses, Uncovered objects Unearthed from the brick red soil and sand Fragmented scrolls and archaic texts And bones of women, children and man Untouched for centuries Lost to the annals of history Shrouded in its profound mystery The mountain stronghold citadel of death Judaean rebels' revolt against rule of roman law The country corrupted, priceless artifacts all but destroyed The soldiers lay waste to temples and make off with the spoils of war As it’s told throughout the centuries handed down as lore Holed up in the mountain top garrison The group of hundreds lay in wait Watching the encroaching army Marching up the rampart to their fate Clearly they lost and the Romans had won Desperate, drawing on straws one by one The final decisions been made it was done A suicide pact or else be overrun Untouched for centuries Lost to the annals of history Shrouded in its profound mystery The mountain stronghold citadel of death
4.	Omniphobe 02:53	lyrics	buy track
My rational mind has been so controverted By the spirit world, I flirted carelessly I should not have come here to this wretched place I was proven Ill prepared mentally Cause and consequence abandoned All sense and reason left behind Phobia that stem from childhood fears Too irrational to be reality By night appearing so convincingly But by daylight the things that haunt me go unseen Each day brings forth a new aversion Certain sounds truly make me cringe Introverted I'm becoming cynical Each passing night becoming more unhinged I'm falling ever far from home grace The more I know, the more I hate this place Phobia that stem from childhood fears Too irrational to be reality By night appearing so convincingly But by daylight the things that haunt me go unseen Cause and consequence abandoned All sense and reason left behind I'm falling ever far from home grace now The more I know, the more I hate this place My rational mind has been so controverted By the spirit world, I flirted carelessly I should not have come here to this wretched place I was proven Ill prepared mentally
5.	Brood 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Breathing in the crisp, cold autumn air Nostalgic thoughts and memories surround this time of year Excitement grows in children with the changing of the leaves Green to yellow orange and red then falling from the trees Frightful tales and urban legends told around the fires But whispers of unsightly truths are heard among the lies A shift in wickedness persists within these dead, old woods At dusk its best to be at rest, safe in your neighborhood Stirring with the setting sun we rise Stimulated, reawakened, revived Our evil plight invokes likeminded kind Regenerated and drawn into the night Blight of alluring darkened majesty Beckoning to lure us out to see what we can see As the shadows lengthen under foot, we leave And Venture out to do our nightly deeds Roaming through the moonlit streets we creep Lurking in the backroads and darkened alleyways unseen When the daylight walkers lay asleep The night gives in to chaos when the wolves give way to sheep Savage brood known for being so unbelievably cruel Waiting to ambush any and all unwitting fools Many a fair maid lost her jewels to our trade Many a young fool shed his lifeblood on our blades Stirring with the setting sun we rise Stimulated, reawakened, revived Our evil plight invokes likeminded kind Regenerated and drawn into the night Blight of alluring darkened majesty Beckoning to lure us out to see what we can see As the shadows lengthen under foot, we leave And Venture out to do our nightly deeds

Settled for the night Half dozing in my easy chair A sudden chill washed over me Sent tingles through my hair A feeling looming over me like being watched. Is someone there? Shadows casting frightful scenes Bad omens in the air Getting up to go to bed It's getting late it's in my head Going down the hall I don't remember being quite as long As I go on, I start to yawn The lights are off the blinds are drawn Tonight, I don't know where mind has gone Sinister Misery, bane of my dread Terror of night that's lurking underneath my bed Spectral malevolence, mysteriously strange Phantasmic presence that's left me deranged Trembling exhausted waiting shaking in my sheets Wondering what putrid ghastly horror will I meet Apprehension irrational nearly panicked at my thoughts Foreboding trepidation painting snares in which I'm caught My mind is racing, thoughts are pacing, ever tracing Fear encased me, shadow gazing in my room The last I wanted was to be haunted, ever taunted Spirits flaunting, I embrace impending doom Sinister Misery, bane of my dread Terror of night that's lurking underneath my bed Spectral malevolence, mysteriously strange Phantasmic presence that's left me deranged Paralyzed in fear my pen is shaking as I write Now terrified I'm startled more by each and every sight To petrified to move I'm frozen stiff due to my fright Waiting for the morning sun to vanquish the night Sinister Misery, bane of my dread Terror of night that's lurking underneath my bed Spectral malevolence, mysteriously strange Phantasmic presence that's left me deranged
7.	Haste 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Those who hesitate are surely lost A lack of urgency comes at an exponential cost The Idol mind unwinds and subverts itself to life's distractions Unconstructed thoughts lead down the path of pure procrastination Sands of time flow faster with the passing of the years Ever fleeting, precious moments and milestones come to pass You only get one life to live No pointed words should go unspoken Leave no room for chance to take Nor ardent bonds left broken Complacency is the enemy The nullifier of productivity Left to the devises of your demise Feed the lies, wasted time, ambition dies Annihilation of all anxious thought You’re either born with it or not It can’t be taught nor can’t be bought Will it to be, take it from me and force it into a vain existence Let it flow on to and fro weave through the path of least resistance So, raise a glass and drink it fast live your life like it's your last Cause in the end my tired friend, that’s all you fucking got You only get one life to live No pointed words should go unspoken Leave no room for chance to take Nor ardent bonds left broken Complacency is the enemy The nullifier of productivity Left to the devises of your demise Feed the lies, wasted time, ambition dies With these final rhymes were out of time In haste I plead to you ensue an eagerness undue

Your kisses lift me higher Like the sweet song of a choir You light my morning sky With burning love Dark lord Almighty I feel my temperature rising It’s getting higher It's burning through to my soul This God damned girl Is going to set me on fire My brain is flaming I don’t know which way to fucking go OH, I feel my temperature rising Help me, I'm flaming at a hundred and nine Burning, burning and nothing can cool me I might turn to smoke but I’ll be fine Because your kisses lift me higher Like a sweet song of a choir And you light my morning sky With burning love It's coming closer the flames are licking my body Won’t you help me I feel like I'm slipping away It's getting hard to breathe and my chest is heaving Dark lord, have mercy, I’ll burn a hole where I lay OH, I feel my temperature rising Help me, I'm flaming at a hundred and nine Burning, burning and nothing can cool me I might turn to smoke but I'll be fine Your kisses lift me higher Like a sweet song of a choir And you light my morning sky With burning love Dark lord Almighty I feel my insides burning Higher and higher my lust increases her disgust God Damn this girl Is trying to set me on fire My brain is flaming I might spontaneously combust I feel my temperature rising Help me, I'm flaming at a hundred and nine Burning, burning and nothing can cool me I might turn to smoke but I'll Be fine
9.	The Struggle 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Oh, it’s taking over me. This feeling welling up has grown inside so deep. Oh, what's become of me? I can't control it, I try to hold it, insufficiently Oh, Exploding into fits of frantic rage Like an animal in chains I shake the cage The first unexpecting fuck to cross my way 3 2 1, all systems go ENGAGE! Anger overwhelms me All encompassing. Expressions Suppressed. Pressurizing. Oh, it’s taking over me This feeling welling up has grown inside so deep Oh, what's become of me? I can't control it. I try to hold it, insufficiently. NOOOO! Internal turmoil bubbling to a boil. Unraveling, I'm starting to uncoil. Isolated and misunderstood by all. Maybe after all, I'm better off alone. Those who don't know me won't like me and Those that do seldomly know how to take me I'm not wrong, I'm just different but this pride won't let me Do things to make you think I'm right Maybe after all this time And all my trials I can feel in my bones I'm better off alone Oh, it’s taking over me This feeling welling up has grown inside so deep Oh, what's become of me? I can't control it, I try to hold it, insufficiently NOOOO! Daily life is a struggle to no end Fuck off this is my war, you're one of them Suspicions tend to lead to my disgust Another of life's lessons in mistrust
10.	In Memorium 04:03	lyrics	buy track
In the ultimate, untimely event of our end Our memories will live on in our friends In our loved ones and our family and kin Oh, to be one, one with the stars again He there, who does now enjoy eternal rest and happy ease which thou does want and crave, What small pain the passage has that makes the frail flesh fear the bitter wave? Is the short pain not well born, that brings on the great long ease and lays the soul to sleep? To sleep in the quiet grave. Sleep after toile, port after stormy seas, ease after war, death after life does greatly please. In the ultimate, untimely event of our end Our memories will live on in our friends Our loved ones and our family and kin Oh to be one with the stars again Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth with the grasses waving above one's head just listening to the silence. To have no yesterday, and no uncertain tomorrows. To forget time, to forgive life, to finally be at peace. The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity In the ultimate, untimely event of our end Our memories live on in our friends Our loved ones and our family and kin Oh, to be one, One with the stars again
