Idols of Rot 03:07
Lyrics: Driven through a gauntlet of hunger and fear An emotional cold your only cut of the yield Smeared your name Ripped the flesh off of your worth The time is nigh The hour of the ghoul Go now Rattle those bones Rise to dominance Wear your scars in plain sight Drown the apathy Strike down the locusts in flight A thousand roads etched into those feet skinned raw A thousand nights plagued by crippling self-doubt At last The redeemer shall be awakened from slumber At long last The wretched shall feel this scorched earth tremble Gradually Until violently all at once Silently Until a million voices as one The time is nigh The hour of the ghoul Go now and rattle those bones Embrace the overkill Choke the flames of persecution Silence the fraudulent Tear down the idols of rot

Pariah 03:34
Lyrics: From the depths of your shelter From behind your barricade Fortified with faceless remarks You spit and rave In the palm of your hand The deficiencies of human existence take center stage Alienated by your own thoughts You crawl along Reaching for the walls Their hands The light between the cracks Long live the king A serpent suffocating in its skin Long live the king A pariah You're devoured by your own kin Long live the king No one will hear your pleas Once in a feverish dream You were destined to lead As your lone valiant feat Wake up and yield Long live the king A serpent suffocating in its skin Long live the king A pariah You're devoured by your own kin Long live the king No one will hear you

Lyrics: Onward This rotted ark keeps drifting on Long gone are discoveries of purity and promise As the horizon shrinks before our weary eyes They say we've come so far When in truth we've been here all along No toxic deed gone unrewarded No vile head left uncrowned Forever stranded in this vastness Without a single grain of sand to call home Our signal fires lie dead in torrential rains Where spoils of war get battered by the waves The house greed built has been trampled under hoof By the indomitable and incorruptible four This desolate vista Our judge and jury The verdict has been reached This is as good as it gets

The Parting 03:10
Lyrics: Shrinking under the ancient mass The deafening roar of millennia past Swept away Swept away to be pulled down again Time after time The memory won't last Drift away To drift is to settle Ease into the slumber What never mattered never was There's nothing to remember Show your face in the light of day To go off the deep end Yet not leave a ripple at all The further you swim The deeper you fall Slipping away into the seaweed maze Leaving the surface forever so calm Devoid of meaning The chasm runs deep Pull away Away from light From tomorrow Those barren days ahead Sink beneath The sobering hum of the pressure building Showering your skin with needles Wearing away the shades of red To cascade down clad in the finest silk The string has snapped The pearls gone along their gleam Go, resonate with the oldest of notes Igniting your skin Bombarding your bones Waves envelop this bed you sleep in Dreamlessly Like a stone in the deep Warmth escaping your body Your eyes no longer see Make way for the storm and let it take you under Inside your cocoon woven in secret No silence left to keep

Martyr 02:58
Lyrics: Kneel in the dust of the earth Breathe in the air of release Feel proud as you fall on your sword Make sure you are noticed for making us all feel so small Martyr Guide us You stood tall in the face of the plight In the land of the blind you're the only one who's seen the light Martyr Guide us Martyr Absolve us Martyr Guide us Martyr Don't forsake us
6.
Lyrics: You dropped your guard and let it in A purge by fire As untamable as wind Your misplaced trust The combustion Of a cleansing blaze In these white halls of voices halted still I'll have my rest and shed my skin Another tarnished canvas to paint anew Rinse and repeat You will make me whole again As I carefully peel off the mask I'll rearrange you perfectly And undress you of all human limitation And force-fed degeneration I'll see to it Personally That you'll leave them in awe ”As I once again allow myself to wander off into their midst I look up to see their faces And they look back to see mine In their eyes A reflection of how they think they see me How they think they know they do But like gazelles at the edge of the water They will get to find out soon That no matter how much they think they are in control No matter how safe they feel A shadow is never merely a shadow And underneath There is always something to fear”
