The Crystal Palace Awaits 04:35
lyrics
buy track
I saw them in a dream or was it on the screen In time, were gathering, I saw everything Time will prove all these things I show to you Come what may, I will not be moved There, in the center of them all, standing tall Pale and faceless, my mind cannot discern You have no choice, I heard them say You have no choice, you will obey We are the law and we are fate Some changes have been made Behold and kneel to our iron will Men of steel have been unsealed The crystal palace awaits Open up the gate They stood within Where they ought not I beheld the rot Silent and still I could not breathe The moment had come Fear had taken me Do not let them take you away Do not allow your mind to break Stay on top of your senses Our vital, most important mission Run away, fast as you can There is no hope for this land This is it, our moment's come We must escape oblivion The crystal palace awaits Open up the gate A game of fate He is the eighth Standing tall in the center of them all Down comes the wall, down fell the wall

Blow in the Sails 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Captured me Out upon this sea As the windless evening Has snared my ship Not a sound No, not a ripple moves Upon the surface of the deep I take a breath Hope for the best Blow in the sails I cannot stay still Blow in my sails I need a breeze to appear Row my arms but nothing moves Cast the barrels off the sides I pray for a storm to jar me from this And shift me with its tide I take a breath Hope for the best Suddenly out of nowhere Prayers are answered The rush of pouring rain tears through I'm knocked over Laughing on my back As my newly freed ship starts to move Lightning whips near me Striking near my head Crashing with the troubled waves They groan down below None of this really worries me No, not anymore Just so long as that wind will blow Hurriedly as we speed ahead Outrace the dread, quick and the dead Shed malaise as we sail away Far from this empty place I take a breath I sail ahead

Stranger 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Shadows lay across my bed It's that time of day Dusk beset, the chill of even The cold embrace Wrapped up tight by candle light Alone, afraid, another day Wake from my sleep Pray my soul to keep Up in my bed In my head Am I alone? Stranger, stranger watching me What did you see? Did you get your fill? Is it such a thrill? Disquieting The shadows race across the room Quickly they hide from me Why are you here, if you're so afraid to be seen? Burn down this dark With a spark, with this power Light, light and voice Will anoint, shine this hour Oh, I don't know you But you know me, I see Yet, you flee, you flee from me I'm not afraid, you're the one hiding Stranger think twice, next time in the night You come to deliver a fright

We Want It To End 05:33
lyrics

On the shadow of the precipice Standing with empty hands Nothing could prepare me for this In the silt soaked view where I stand Sway in the breeze The moaning of the trees Swaying in the breeze The movement is unease You should know what we want What we want You, you should know what we want What we want We have waited for so long We've waited with our hearts out Now is the time for us So we call you down We stand tall among Stand up tall among you We are powerful Unbroken by the world We just want it to end This burden we attend Now is the time for us The memory danced to dust So fall down to your knees Never taste defeat So bow, bow, bow and weep Dust beneath our feet

Tomorrow Today 03:31
lyrics

The future is closed, as hours erode Blinded in the pure white snow And I know you don't know where to go A way will be shown There's a darkness today Show me the way There I could not stay Oh, give me a map For my feet a lamp A light to keep the night at bay Writer's block, a door to unlock Engraved in the stone of my heart Give me the key, give me liberty Hark, it's the change of the guard The loss must depart Cannot pierce my armor I am mighty Nothing has changed Still, I'm the same I struggle to stay in key Omega, is today the day? We need to find our way The snow, the death, and decay We summon tomorrow today

Devolution 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Down in the spiral Circling the drain Heading toward revival Blending into gray Lost their humanity Tossed aside, disgraced Eating from forbidden trees Abused and erased Devolution, break down the cell Unevolved they grew tails Cryptic in their mind, their own estate They cannot contemplate Superego sold to the master mind Television brain is online Addressing dissonant haze The eyes tell a vacant gaze One, two, three, four Levers pulled back and forth Careful, secured There is a goal Calculated Administrated Watch out, careful Don't drop your guard Devolution, break down the wall Unevolved they grew tall Imprisoned in their own estate They minds they can't escape Superego sold to a bitter fate Their television god breathes hate Dictating from the world stage The key has become the cage

I Have Fury 04:18
lyrics

We must break through it Pierced through our side We must make it through this Survive through the night Tear down the wall, the bricks'll fall I am coming through I will not stop, I cannot The vision's in view So break it down upon our head We've had enough of you Take our shame, the burning flame Consumes I have fury and I have rage Nothing can keep me in this cage Peel back the skin to look within At the twisted heart of man Vision inside, narcissist pride Self portrait in the sand But where will you run? Where will you hide when they come to call? Pray to the mirror on the wall I have fury I will not be denied I have fury and there's nowhere to hide I have fury I will not be denied I have fury We'll bleed out your sky The collassal sword of judgement swings down upon your head We stand within the fires of the last omniscient breath Crystalized, divided, shining in the sky Stardust covets ashes, well dressed in their demise

The Ephah 04:56
lyrics
buy track
Pale faced fiends Fleet through the street A garden in the pavement The hands that work defeat Ephah Unlocked, unlocked Opened The box, the box Ephah What's under the lid? What's contained within? A promise was made you by the powers that be Offered you a rainbow path to eternity Deep within the heart of man The beast it roars with bloody hands Far in the darkness of what's to come The clan, the feast Tea, anyone? Down in the bottom Past iniquity The figure of man made stone With eyes that see Ephah The leader of the people Containing great evil Ephah The sky scorched black Sadly, this must come to pass

Feint 04:41
lyrics

There are no accidents There's no such thing as coincidence Everything has a design A reason to be seen So, never assume you have information The world is won through dissemination Water the weeds with lies from the line From the screen Feed into the fake They're acting out a feint If you have to ask, then you know You know they know what to show Feed into the fake They're acting out a feint Trickery before your eyes The elect could be compromised Don't think to be so unwise Assuming that you know There is a master plan But, what is held in the other hand? No one up there is on your side Our heroes are all dead Feed into the fake They're acting out a feint Gather them all up into one place Get them on board with a familiar face Nothing is ever what it would seem The lie is a dream They will conspire to deny you They will conspire to belie you Hand in hand they smile and they try to End all mankind Feed into the fake They're acting out a feint So considered yourself warned About the sun, the black, the scorn Everything you see's performed By clowns on the stage A smile there to ease the crowd Calibrated, it's acted out Everything just to make you doubt They'll hit you after the feint

Upon the Stage 04:57
lyrics
buy track
Upon the stage all the actors run their lines Upon the stage they wave and smile A rose bouquet is tossed down at their feet Their grin is deceit Pacing the boards in a steady way Guiding your heart to hesistate "There's nothing to worry about," they say "Just keep your eyes on the play" "So, eyes on me, stop looking all around the room Stop staring at the curtain, this drama is for you" Upon the stage, oh, the actors scream and fight Upon the stage, they steal the spotlight And then they say, "Don't worry, everything is alright" There must be something wrong Hurry, the time is almost out Darting shadows faster than our doubt The faces stretch and twist like clowns The juggler spins the balls around You, you must get out of this place This is a cage From which there'll be no escape This is an important word All that remains, the distractors of the stage There's nothing of value to gain The thieves they work all night and day To keep you engaged Upon the stage The villains they rage The actors charade On the stage, politicians they play The puppets they sway They smile to keep you amused

Severity 05:16
lyrics

Hold it up, the work is done Long ago and far away Beauty spoke But, what did she say? "Come to me, I have freedom Eternity Only for thee" In between the vacant stares The fool he laughed himself out of his chair The juggler cackled as he pranced The strings they sang, the puppets danced In the hall of the damned The severed hand So, dance in red, behind the veil The liar smiled for the impaled So white the eyes So white the smile Dazzling in their denial In the hall of the damned The severed hand Raise it up, the work is done Interlude For the room, for the room Severity as charity Blow your mind out, have a ball The new year's coming and then the fall Eat our tails, we all will crawl Unto the hour, into the hall To the hall of the damned The severed hand it speaks

King of the North 04:02

Upon a cloud The king of stones sat down There's no turning back now Calamity has been unbound Wearing the crown Looking down so tall Alone in a pale tower The hour has bled out Smiling shining death The wound upon its head This is not a game This is not a game This is not a game This is not a game "Standing alone Calling out my will Under my boot The world will kneel" The thrones were cast down The power ripped from the clouds Thunder in their heads Winged approaching death Look up to the sky Your father's face is a lie Made of glass and broken stone Their lying eyes are all you're shown

Departure (Time Marches On) 05:57

Time after time I've tried, I've tried Waited in the wings The door is opening Doubled down, freedom bound Prisoner no more Trouble bubbled, toiled and suffered Our victory assured Gnash your teeth, I'll see you weep Oh, charlatans and thieves You're gunning for me, I hear you coming But that's not where I'll be Time marches on, sing our bloody song Our victory is drawn from the foundation So call it on, we'll sing our victory's song We are not wrong nor defeated for long We call you forth Devour the dark To the shadow of night Oh, our heart And time marches on, through oblivion While the world groans, our power overflows And kill us if you might, black out our light The ground can only hold us for a night Tear down mountains, smash them to ashes We will never stop Endless mission, this world will listen We will never stop For our departure for the author We will never stop The word is written and sealed up within We will never stop

Valentine 03:49

Today is the day The fire is stoked The key has been turned And shoved down our throat Blackened the air by reason of it Down falls the witch into the pit And up comes the smoke They breathe and they choke The locusts escape their jail Statue on the sea Oh, liberty One more coin down the wishing well Run to the east, run to the west There's no escape from this Rip your heart out Straight from your chest Raise it up high, your valentine Offered to the master mind The bloody lips sang, "You are mine" "You are mine" "You are mine" Oh, burn the witch, gather the sticks We gotta get the fire high It's coming down, they're screaming now Still they don't understand why We built you all, so you'd fall And everything fell into place You will obey, because we say This is the end of the human race This is the end, finale has come We have eaten the sun We are the worms and we are the judge So pray and obey, repent and abstain We stand in your holy place So deck us in gold, with fortune untold God reflected is what we behold Today's the day Today's the day Today

Oh no, what are you trying to do? Barefoot kneeling down at her shoes Oh, run away before it's too late Don't give in, give her double her pain Bound in chains As they pray for rain Sticks in place The eyes are trained, as they Watch the witch Staring transfixed On what's to come You better run Flames burn higher Fire! Fire! Flames burn higher This last desire Don't turn away no matter what it takes I know it's hard to see the world fade away Crumbling like dust in our hand But there's no return, there's only one chance Standing encircled around the witch They clack and they chant around the bottomless pit Crowns they wear bruised on their head Calling forth to oblivion Watch the witch Lest you miss it Watch the witch Bundle the sticks

X=Y 05:01

There are no words I could speak to you There's nothing left to say There are no words left to reach you The wall of haze Those with an ear Let them hear The frenzied and mad Too far, too severe For the blind and the deaf There is no hope Hung with their own rope At least you'll be somebody Look upon me Down in the hue with the narcissist's blues Worshipping their view Those with a tongue, let them speak The weight of this world is crushing down on me But you've cut out your eyes Deformed your smile So light a little lamp for the night The obvious truth is the hardest of all Obvious truth is the hardest of all Behind every door, behind every wall There is nowhere to turn The obvious truth is the hardest of all The obvious truth is the hardest of all When X equals Y the towers will crawl Babylon will burn At least you'll be someone A name upon a stage At least you'll be seen Your fifteen minutes of fame False respect and applause All the numbers on a screen All for what? For the dream?

Stone, transfixed on a single point Feel the wind move through the sand Cover my eyes, so I can see Laying here in this terrible land Vultures above circle me They seem hungry I wave my arms to make a scene To chase away their dreams Always here in this valley Laying down on my back Feeling the sun, it's burning through me The dry winds they attack Always here, I'm in this valley Laying down on my back Feeling the sun, it's burning through me The dry winds they attack Lizards crawl through the dust I see them move in their shaken rush I move, too, as quick as I can I need to escape this terrible land These creatures above circle me They're always watching No fear, not that they can see They're always waiting Dancing through the desert Hollow is the heat Light as a feather And nothing will slow my feet

Unthrone my heart A seal upon my eyes To do my part in these wicked times In my mouth, draining vein Submit, unfit, an end to pain Count down in time Unfolded Behind the lines of intersession Blind inside without a guide Chained down the heads Eyes of dispisal Subjudicated and brought to revival Behold and see A leader among we Behold the top Eye of destiny They will obey They will obey They must obey The boots in the clay Seven as one Then, after the seventh Seven as one The world wept regretted

Losing the thread, I struggle for the chord Foot in the door but I'm losing the war I feel the change come, coming quick Can I make it stick? Fear consumed, I know what I must do Down in the dark, I must see this through Through this valley, oh, I am not alone Through the gates of death my strength will overflow Tear down the sky, you should know why The crystal tears fill up their glass Evil in tow, fools and their gold Ashen, they weep for their past But as for me I know the way to go Down to the grave reach above the below I have the strength to conquer the night Come all that may, come and try your might I'll break you down I'll break you down Break enough to satisfy the ground I'll break you down I'll break you down I will not be bound Nothing can contain me I am beyond Nothing can contain me Death has no bond And I'll break you down Break you down

No sun unset The day is spent The moon behind the clouds There's no point crying now Never backward Sand swept stone on casters Never backward Gridlocked in alabaster Between the lines Moon and the daylight Between times Then and now collide Shadow on the ledge, jumping to the edge Violent war cry dread fills the sky Don't make a sound, they can hear your heart pound Silent night, just close your eyes Never backward A mannequin as master Never backward Walking hurricane disaster

Crescent hung by a string Alone in the night sky Midnight they sing As the clouds roll by Dreamer Don't you know how this will go? Dreamer Pull the rope, start the show Don't be a dreamer seeking peace Time's not long and there's no relief The fuse has been lit, the danger unleashed Don't trust anyone who sings the lullaby of peace Dreamer It's a lie like that moon in the sky Dreamer Tears roll by, tears roll by War is coming A war for your mind It's better to die Than be left alive Dreamer You've been warned Many times before Dreamer You're a fool And the world is cruel Don't be a dreamer Don't be a fool It's already over Time unwound off the spool Watch the faces smile The dreamers telling lies Don't trust anyone with Hunger in their eyes

Finally the light have dimmed No more sparks to light the thin Passageway between our thoughts Ever again Once were lost but now we've drowned Collapsing beneath this crown Every door is locked in town There's no way out Oh, I wish that I could go Freedom seems so close That I could just reach out But it's just outside my grasp No open door They've locked us in Blood has filled the ground The mud of our sin I try to breathe but I just sigh Horror filling up my eyes I scream, "Oh, God, please tell me why" You've left me here There is nothing to be done There's no victory to be won We are lost and we are far Far from the sun No open door, no open door Nevermore, we're bound forever more There's no open door, I close my eyes I want to disappear, please let me die

What's it worth, the whole of this earth? The coin in hand, the key to the purse The power of gold, the sway of the string The puppets of greed sell you nothing Franticly frenzied in the race to the top The people never stopped to look ahead Up to the top, they climbed, a tower of time They raced as fast as they could, instead Tear down all your gods Built up in the dark World in your heart With violence torn apart (Nothing left to save) (Make it go away) There's nothing left here to save Turn your back and run away Don't you dare hesitate Or else you'll be a slave Deny the vengeful antichrist Do not be blinded by its light Your head will roll, but that's alright We all signed up to die Is this the end or just the beginning? This is the end, the end is the beginning (Nothing left to save) (Make it go away) Pour it out on our head Your golden cup is bleeding red The night with teeth will tear and shred The wicked witch is dead

In the valley of Megiddo Where I lay down my head I dwelt among the shadows In the valley of the dead Oh my God, what have you done Oh my God, what have you done Genocide generation Worshipped a god your fathers knew not Here they come, they want me dead I've said too much, so it's off with my head The tears of carnage grow up across this land Time was stolen away from broken hands The day's upon us, on which side will you stand This is your only chance "Awake from your sleep," they sing "Awaken, sleeping beauty Oh, by peace We will destroy many" Destroy wonderfully A world united by peace They shall reign as kings To serve her majesty
