SUBTERFUGE
The blood you seek is out there,
On the frayed edges of town
Just point your boots, and follow...
Your rotten heart
Walk without guiding hands
With a big stick, through promised land
In a world without shame
Set fire to all who admit no blame
A disease of rage and denial
When the darkness moves, better know how to burn
No escape from disease…
With a big stick, through promised land
Never had to dig much dirt to find fear
The scent is enraging
Under the moon, the moves that you make…
Are subterfuge, baby
Now listen to the sound of your mind…
Being quietly blown
Lights up the soul and kills the night…
All night, that's right
A disease of rage and denial
When the darkness moves, better know how to burn
No escape from the sound…
Of your mind being quietly blown
Blow them all away
Your closest friend, the enemy

NOW I SEE YOU
In the age of the Great Deception
The mask worn, grins and lies
Holds pain where it cuts deep
Hidden thoughts, deceptive eyes
And we sing…
Though the tortured souls
Still scream for mercy…
I can see you
I can see you, now
Maybe there is no true self
Just a barren, hollow core
I see the dead underneath sometimes,
And I fucking shake
So we sing…
Though the day is vile,
And the road is filled with war
I can see you
I can see you
The hidden man demonic he may be
The hidden man tells darker truth
All the mocking laughter,
And the threats within…
Make him lethal
The mask of sanity, begins to slip away
I can see you
I can see you, now
I can see you
Here I come

THE GHOST NARRATIVE
When I arise, I know the ghosts...
I share this life with are awake again
They are always, close to my side
They provide me with the answers…
I never got from you
They tell me all the codes
They offer all the keys…
To lock all the doors, for good
Live in two worlds at the same time
But they are not synched, they phase
Never had control, ever
Cut the same deals, shook the same hands
Now I wait for them
I can hear them breathe
They are speaking right now
They tell me all the codes
They offer all the keys…
To lock all the doors, for good
I can hear them breathe
They speak to me

TEMPLE
You approach in silence
A sign of grim respect
Understanding that the will of gods…
Considers not the common man
Everywhere is darkness and stone
A massive door yields
Never alone, the undead rattle their bones…
About wars you never win,
And all the hidden sin
But still you crawl
Desperate, to get back in
There was nowhere left to run
A hard road lead you here
A place of Worship, a place of Faith
A Temple…
To keep you safe
To watch over you
With shaking fingers, you trace memories…
Etched into these walls
Their lessons go unsaid, their truth…
It clings to you
Solemn eyes, lost in pitch
Seek grace, without light
Faithful servitude to a Master
Who allows no sight
There was nowhere left to run
A hard road lead you here
A place of Worship, a place of Faith
A Temple…
To keep you safe
To watch over you
Monuments built over lifetimes
Bodies drop, more will fall
A collection of damage…
And skin ripped raw
This is a church, this is a refuge
This is where you go to die
Fall from exhaustion, nothing left...

Centrifugal Disaster

CENTRIFUGAL DISASTER
Head down, to grind out another day
Consume or be consumed
The world heaves under the weight of our existence
A population siphoned from, stretched beyond all reason
Exploit everything for a fraction of what it’s worth
Rallying cry of modern Man:
“Give me convienience, or give me Death”
So the trap is set
And we walk right through it
Profit, in the guise of progress and economic growth
But everything has a ceiling, it can’t grow forever
A race that no one wins, incineration until the end
Sedated and confident that the world should come to us…
And it does
Centrifugal disaster
The world spins faster, and faster, and faster
Spin it, until it stops
Extinction process
Greed, the fatal flaw
We just pull the noose…tighter
The pace is suicidal
And it never slows
The sheer volume of souls will eclipse our grasp
Finite resources raped, infrastructure collapse
And we let them, while we trip the light fantastic
And when you have nothing left to take, no one will care…
So let’s go
Centrifugal Disaster
The world spins faster, and faster, and faster
Spin it, until it stops
Extinction process
Greed, the fatal flaw
We just pull the noose…tighter

MAELSTROM
With glazed eyes, we have watched forever disappear
Now seasons fail to change
The layers of misdirection that kept us warm at night
Now slowly are revealed
The image does not change if you look away
Maelstrom, the reckoning
We know that we can’t go back
The end of the road is well in sight
We’re just trying to stay ahead of the moon, now
Just trying to stay ahead of the night
As the rivers rise and mix with tears from our eyes
Choke back pointless screams
We break everything, all in time
Broken hearts, broken minds
Maelstrom, the reckoning
We know that we can’t go back
The end of the road is well in sight
We’re just trying to stay ahead of the moon, now
Just trying to stay ahead of the final black night
Nothing is forever
We follow vessels of corruption that drift…
Then are quickly gone
The seas will wash away our sins, rising…
From the outside, in
Nothing is forever, nothing is ever free
Time it will not wait, it swallows all our destinies
Nothing is forever, nothing is forever
Nothing is free

CASTAWAY
Black waves that hammer the shore
The icy mist whips and churns
The years fell away…
Some stayed as long as they dared
Most left to brave the seas
All gone, one remains…
This place is spirit extinction
Every season, lose more ground
The flesh from bone
…And the wind blows wicked cold ‘round here
Endless days into endless nights
None return, out of sight
Just the long dead voices,
That beckon me home
“Come back to me, come back…”
Another storm rips at the land
The treeline is torn away
No shelter from the rain…
Should have left when hope still shone
This island sinks into the sea
This flesh, this bone
…And the wind blows wicked cold ‘round here
Endless nights into endless days
No more reasons, castaway
Just the long dead voices,
That beckon me home…
“Come back to me, come back…”
