By The Time 04:37
Creaking of the arrows, high and higher Alarms the conscious side of mind Warning what's behind Loud and clear Trying to wake up Keep up, don't crum up There's so much you can take I can't, I won't; will I find my way to go The evolution of an era of a punishing crowd Fear, I am near The evolution of an era making people count down By the time Finally caught up Clocks keep ticking, always winning the last round Another victim is impaled on its spear Lost his battle on its hunting ground We're heading to a dead end Which drags us down Where the timeless hides Striking in his maze Dense, heavy clouds leaning Back onto your head Run with their weight Endlessly chasing Occupy your brains up to the rim Overflows when you add one more piece to it By the time Finally caught up Clocks keep ticking, always winning the last round Another victim is impaled on its spear Lost his battle on its hunting ground Lose, you'll win; admit you're tired Play the new round, when one's sacrificed Stop chasing the arrows; let the wheel of time Make you the hunted to ride its flight By the time Finally caught up Clocks keep ticking, always winning the last round Another victim is impaled on its spear Lost his battle on its hunting... By the time You stopped to catch up Clocks kept ticking you postponed the last round Another victor rides along on its spear Won this battle on its hunting ground

It's contagious, but you need to feed Like snakes attached eating poisonous greed Preordered lies Kept me waiting Refunded cries Looked obeying Yet submerged, drowned in ecstasy Like dogs on the leash beg to be freed You will pay the price You will pay the price We're crawling closer Waiting for us to strike We bring the message coming from serpents' tongues Lost in the swamp, forgotten Watch the eyes; see a thousand cry Am I strapped down, left to be downtrodden? Will I sink in the swamp oh my Will the loss be returned right? You will pay the price You will pay the price We're crawling closer Waiting for us to strike We bring the message coming from serpents' tongues Tongues I'd like to rip out, how I knew Had a hunch it would harm you Engraved in me, your message heard and subdued One sick soul less You will pay the price You will pay the price We're crawling closer Waiting for us to strike We bring the message coming from serpents' tongues Let me talk, speak in tongues Will I ever be, ever be, ever gonna be Will I ever be, follow me, will I ever lead You down to the ground, down-and-out, kick you down, kill the loser you

Ancient habits They serve a king As Egypt builds Put their trust In the undoubted Of flesh and blood, reigning Search the source We know what he knows Let me find Please, feed my mind As you own My trust, you know what I want to know His web of lies Outwitted the blind Made my search complete again Ages ago But still we do so Data roaming Come stream my mind now As we browse through the chosen page Keeping us below Nefarious pharaohs Tell me, am I? Please, feed my mind As you own My trust, you know what I want to know His web of lies Outwitted the blind Made my search complete again Now just like the pharaohs have claimed To be the source one's searching for We shouldn't believe all We'll always know, not enough Please, feed my mind As you own My trust, you know what I want to know His web of lies Outwitted the blind Made my search complete again

Hiraeth 06:37
Carefully my feet move me Drag me across an old crumbled wall Eyes squeeze into little stripes The abyss underneath me depletes me, I stall Out of reach My brain picks up its old brush to fill empty spots Memories from the past in a realism Where outlines are set as how I expect Fly, let the wind lead and carry you on Give in; leave misery behind for a moment High, watch the eagle staining the sun Graciously moving, making lands wave like oceans I consider taking the plunge If lies become truth, unevenness gone My head rises up high Explores the world Stupefies me, shuts off my mind Do colors fade or melt into one piece; I rise Like black ink in high water they merge; I fly Fly, let the wind lead and carry you on Give in; leave misery behind for a moment High, watch the eagle staining the sun Graciously moving, making lands wave like oceans The wind takes me in its arms and holds me Give in to the safety I heard of Where my mind leaves, my heart leads Free from my thoughts, spreading wings the eagle takes off Into a beautiful picture Just don't zoom in Fly, let the wind lead and carry you on Give in; leave misery behind for a moment High, watch the eagle staining the sun Graciously moving, making lands wave like oceans

Here you can find me, tell me now Are you happy with yourself Your evil ways have left their marks on me and you Your signs have been heard Coming back to what we knew I have disdained you, but my bones were left to write Hear the scratching of his heels a sound Trouble's approaching fast Out of the fog, a darkened town He's coming for me; I'm his special guest I am the one to teach, how freedom could be used for you All is bound to clash There is this big stone on the ground, Onto which words have been quickly carved Reading thy rest in piece Your name written down, all over it I unleash, change evil ways I rest Vile world what did you do? Anxious souls stained with my blood I'm trying to find, how the world neglected me It's not approval that you seek Nor the answer that you need Why do you refuse to see I'm not your enemy Feeling the shivers, his presence made the night cry I pledge guilty, for his crimes came down and out, I lead astray, try surviving the sway Vile world what did you do? Anxious souls stained with my blood I'm trying to find, how the world neglected me It's not approval that you seek Nor the answer that you need Why do you refuse to see I'm not your enemy Look at yourself, I feel jealous Through wounds I bleed dry Oh I can see you're scarred, but know Scars don't bleed, they're healed Long I have been fighting to get it all back together again Trying to find a way out to escape I Choke on my pride when I tried to swallow truth Cutting scars back to wounds All that's been done Convinced you were wrong I have presented me as your last question here I may not be your final question But could, should you see me as Your final answer, take a look at me Vile world what did you do? Anxious souls stained with our blood I'm trying to find, how the world neglected us It's not approval that you seek Nor the answer that you need Why do we refuse to see, I am my enemy

I opened up my eyes Absorbed the senses Strained I'm in the dark Deep down, caught out Around me I can't see But without sight What else will lead? I still can't follow my heart We fell a long way down, but still it seemed Like no one noticed How can they act Like it's just a normal night From every corner I heard sounds evolve Piercing my ears Elevating me and then they dropped me Battered arrived at the bottom of the bottle I don't know how, I made it down here I've got to crawl back It's been a long time I've lost my interest to lie here, it's time Time to get out I refuse rejecting to climb; out of strength I got this far, gone forever, dragged down deep I should have said before Help me, someone I'm detached from all the light; left alone Every bottom's got a top, I'm so sick My innocence defiled Goodbye confidence Could someone please come down? It's easy to fall Battered arrived at the bottom of the bottle I don't know how, I made it down here I've got to crawl back It's been a long time I've lost my interest to lie here, it's time Time to get out

The Riddle 05:19
Seems like the rain hates my guts This ain't goodbye There's more in life than just survive Show me why Rest assured: I will leave the shore Must hold onto this An old childhood's riddle, alive What you once taught me As the mouth lies where the heart is I am to tell you Safely sail away As the love lies where the hurt is we fight Lost is where the shore is One final pass and we will meet again Wandering through rivers of sand Heat killed by nighttime Watched the brightest sunset I have ever seen Eyes tell me no more what I see Back to what you taught me As the mouth lies where the heart is I am to tell you Safely sail away As the love lies where the hurt is we fight Lost is where the shore is One final pass and we will meet again So we made us a promise We will meet again Stay safe, protect Keep your promise; come back Send me back to you Refill on my innocence A drought in dust I'm ready for the ferryman Take me with When our lights still shine Off we go Set sail tonight Sailing through the dark where light can never hide Sing me what you taught me As the mouth lies where the heart is I am to tell you Safely sail away As the love lies where the hurt is we fight Lost is where the shore is One final pass and we will meet again

Lost and exhausted He found peace with meeting rest The end of his body struggling An occupied mind loses when it fights back When they opened the door to save his life Stumbling in fear, gaining him five more years Spent in solitude Lost and exhausted, the air smoothly flows out His chest goes down without a hitch but It's the last time that worked well How we strive to live to our likes Missing laughter, stealing time Dreaming of better lives In a nightmare we'd like to hide Just out there on the corner lies The freedom that mocks Directing dismay In better ways Letting all go Just five seconds to none Being the happiest on earth As death drives me home Hanging, the leaves on the tree Dance the night away Falling down, catch leaves of the tree Leaves for them to play Leaves piling up, left to rot How we strive to live to our likes Missing laughter, stealing time Dreaming of better lives In a nightmare we'd like to hide How we strive to live to our likes Missing laughter, stealing time Dreaming of better lives In a nightmare we'd like to hide When on the edge, no heartbeat Dreaming forever With nothing to do without Finally he lived his dream

My Verdict 04:25
Grand sounding superlatives are filling hearts Almost all Making tough decisions, they must be smart Seems they are In some way they are Fake hierarchy Puppets speak up Planting the wrong idea Proclaiming scum A nightmare of glory Waiting for the rain A world within the eye of the hurricane A nightmare of glory We foresaw, your story ends My verdict pled guilty My verdict pled death "You choke moral accuracies" Did you just, just say that? Honesty is my currency It is you I'll condemn A nightmare of glory Waiting for the rain A world within the eye of the hurricane A nightmare of glory We foresaw, your story ends My verdict pled guilty My verdict pled death Hi attention, you're what they need Gain you at any price Correctness, fake to the bone Dive six feet, welcome home Standing up to shake things up A nightmare of glory Waiting for the rain Your silenced world lies within the eye For I am the hurricane A nightmare of glory Waiting for the rain A silent world lies within the eye of the hurricane A nightmare of glory We foresaw, your story ends My verdict pled guilty My verdict pled death

Can you read the scars Within your heart I shudder as you cry A lone vessel in disguise So close to remedy An I drift away Pull me back and wake me up Show me the rain And the moralizing sun Where it all has begun Show me how To keep the warmth in me Now I stand alone With thoughts of regret That I will refuse to forget Reflections in the dark Show me who I am But I won't forget The blood on my hands I leave the boundaries behind Open my mind To see the truth I feel it clearly now I will be rising Rise from the damned Rise, rise, rise The open heart soothes my soul And I, I'm heading in a new direction To be myself Did you ever, ever sleep at night? Without ever, ever feeling alright Go, find the light Did guilt consume your thoughts and heart? Did loneliness tear you apart? Desperation left a mark on your soul Come, see the light Cause we will be alive I stand alone With thoughts of regret That I will refuse to forget Reflections in the dark Show me who I am But I won't forget The blood on my hands Can you read the scars Within your heart I shudder as you cry A lone vessel in disguise So close to remedy An I drift away Forever Pull me back and wake me up Show me the rain And the morning sun Where it all has begun Show me how But I won't forget The blood on my hands Show me everything I want to see Where I want to be Take me back to my innocence To what I'm hiding from The misery here made me who I am Take me back to innocence To what I'm hiding from
