Blinded by fear; searching for what may destroy us
Travelling deeper into a black abyss
Throughout the years we have not known what creatures feast in the dark; what nightmares will we behold?
Is there anything, or nothing
Where will you be when darkness consumes you?
We try to uncover what we do not understand
Desolate anomalies roam these lands
What do you see; is it nothing?
Where will you be when darkness consumes you?
Lay your claim; take what’s yours
Welcome home; the earth’s been purged
Intangible grasp forcing our hands; we can’t escape
Now is the time; fight or perish; fate’s in your hands
It is too late for man to take a stand
Watching your brothers fall victims to these demons
Humanity will become nothing; useless and abolished
Peace will return to oblivion

Hey mother fucker, you’ve been here too long
You think you’re big shit now but I’ll prove you wrong
I’ll cut your throat and watch you bleed
You better get low, ‘cause you’ll fucking see
Try to take what’s mine; you fucking snake
You are everything that I fucking hate
Fucking snake
You live your life in our shadows
You bask while we strive
You’re so fucking hallow
I’ll cut your throat, and watch you bleed
You better get low, ‘cause you’ll fucking see you’ll be six foot deep
Your existence is worthless
Fucking snake
I thought this was real I was wrong, you made me feel like I belonged
You proved me wrong
I thought this was real I was wrong, despite everything that I have done
You proved me wrong
…
You pushed me to the edge; this is your downfall
Your life must come to a bitter end
You’re a snake
Try to take what’s mine, you fucking snake
You are everything that I fucking hate; you fucking snake

Between Heart & Mind

I’d rather fade away; drift into space
I know this is real; there’s nothing left to say
I should’ve known, I’ll do this on my own
Between heart and mind, I can’t get this right
I’m not concerned for my life
Can’t let it go
Can I truly show; this pain
I can’t abstain
I found my solution; a final bitter conclusion
As I descend my life is flashing before my eyes
Moving so quickly; I’m losing my grip
Earth shaking reality
I’m running for my life
Their arms surround me
I’m being pulled down
It’s all that I see
Stepping into black, I should’ve known there’s no turning back
I dreamed of death but not like this
I can see all of my sins; they wrap around me
Consuming my soul and then they take me down below
I should’ve known what I was doing
Ending a suffering that’s just the beginning
I now know what this would bring; why did I give into my agony?
I’m not concerned for my life
Can’t let it go
Can I truly show; this pain
I can’t abstain
I found my solution; a final bitter conclusion

Prisoner of Skin

Say goodbye to what you’ve done
Inflicting your own injuries
But without purposely drowning in your misery
Try to resist, I’ll be tormented
If I accept, I lose myself
Close your eyes, take a breath
Let your scarred lungs rest
The innocence known, love we’ve shown has been long forgotten
Prisoner of skin, figure of greed and mortal sin
Can we destroy what we’ve become and heal our wounds
Can we ever turn back; erase our markings
Will life begin on a clean slate?
Creatures we have become; we are the shadows of the sun
The scars have come undone
To live in this filth we made
Sleep in this bed of shame
Give up all our hopes and aspirations
I have come to realize there are things I can’t undo
I’ll shout it from the roof tops
These wounds have made me new
The ones that you once trusted led you into these false Ideals
Your hateful institution in your imagination
We’re all drowning in anger
Our feet held down by the anchors
They keep us held under the waves
This loathing we can’t help but crave
I try to resist, I am still tormented
I can’t exist or I’ll fade away
Say goodbye to what you’ve done
Inflicting your own injuries
But without purposely drowning in your misery
Try to resist, I’ll be tormented
If I accept, I lose myself
Close your eyes, take a breath
Put your soul to rest
Dreaming of broken glass
Feel the shards run against your skin
The nightmare is over
Can we wake up, pretend that this pain will finally see an end
