In Proelio 01:07
You know Ever since I was younger I would get this feeling like Like I'm floating outside of my body Looking down at myself And I hate what I see How I look, the way I sound I don't know how to change it And I'm so scared That this feeling Is never gonna go away
2.
The last hope to a place Of eternal damnation Looking through darkness I see the light at the end There’s so much strength inside us all And we’re not ready to go down Without a fight In the silence I feel alone (The time has come for you to end this) In the shadows I feel so cold (It’s your own fate; your choice of reparation) I want to see it in your eyes As the final day begins And as the night unfolds We won’t be turning back In the dead of night, the moon calls to me “See the light, hear the voice” The night is cold my soul is burning I hear the voice of truth In the silence I feel alone (I feel so alone) The time has come for you to end this (Please just end this) In the shadows I feel so cold (I feel so cold) It’s your own fate; your choice of reparation Where I made my home, the door was sealed with stone Thoughts from my past, why let this go on? I’m standing in the threshold, I’m waiting by the stairs I’ll run until my feet bleed Not to feel regret Our demons sing a song, the angels bathe in blood
3.
Everything changed, nothing the same But there’s only myself to blame Repeating this over and over inside of my head This is not the end This is not the end of this! I am freed from this mortal coil You’re pushing me further than I’d ever imagined Bending me til I give There’s nothing holding you back From taking every piece of me I am severed and broken within This was just means to an end Tattered and torn Longed for and mourned Wounds you never could mend You’re pushing me further than I’d ever imagined Bending me til I give There’s nothing holding you back From taking every piece of me I’m letting go Do what you will I am severed and broken within This was just means to an end Tattered and torn Longed for and mourned Wounds you never could mend Vacant and open I feel the emptiness Lost and abandoned This is nothingness [Daniel Eichelberger] Left to die alone Every tie to bind is cut There’s no way home Return me to the dust Feed me to the worms Bury me deep Hoping you bury the secret I keep
4.
There’s nothing you can do To relieve this pain Push me off the ledge I want to be born again Gaining momentum I just need to breathe Pushing forward, fading morals There’s nothing in my way I can’t remember The last time I felt this way Facing opposition, head first I can take on anything Just breathe... Get out of my face You’re only in my way Keep it up and the only thing you’ll know Is drowning in the undertow (x2) You don’t know me Go ahead and show me Step up, quit playing these games You don’t know me Go ahead and show me Step up, quit playing these games For I am death Collect your thoughts Connect the dots Get out of my face You’re only in my way Keep it up and the only thing you’ll know Is drowning in the undertow (x2) I am bound by chains You’ve dug your own grave And you’re not getting out No one will save you
5.
In death, we self-actualize, we heal; we are reborn The darkness is getting stronger, Everyday is getting clearer, Everyday I’m getting closer, No longer afraid to be alive Another chance to see this life go on without you And I can’t bear to hold on anymore There’s nothing left inside Without the warmth of your touch Just take it all away This can’t be true, This can’t be real, I have forgotten how to Feel No promise of future, No promise of life But what promise is there, To keep us alive? Another chance to see this life go on without you And I can’t bear to hold on anymore There’s nothing left inside Without the warmth of your touch Just take it all away You'll be one of the faces I remember A summoning of healing will be the stepping stone To acceptance of a world Without you here with me
6.
Put the blade to my skin Push it deep within I want to see the crimson waves Running down again Why has it come to this? I’m such a pessimist I can’t take this anymore You used to be kin to the rope It was how you would cope I wish this feeling would go My heart is full of woe The days feel short These nights grow long Seasons come and go I should’ve given you a reason to stay Everything looks so perfect from far away I ran away Away from you And I feel nothing without you Why, Did you give up on me? Everything looks so perfect from far away So I ran away Away from you I feel nothing without you Nothing! Now I’m left to pick up the pieces The ones that you helped replace I’m trying to be a better man But I’d rather forget your face

Withered 04:01
Searching for truth Ignoring what’s not real My vision is blurred by the weight of the world (x2) Your wings no longer carry me Your comfort has slowly slipped away Oh how I long for the grasp Of your sweet embrace again My eyes can’t see anymore And I’m screaming with my last breath Now I long for your embrace again But you’re never coming home Withered like a rose I may never take shape again (x2) I welcome death as a means to live Frightened for what might come my way I look to the sky and scream (x2) Look at what you’ve done Do you see what I’ve become? Will this ever end? Leave me be

The Fear 06:27
I won’t stop until I die They won’t gain anything from a lie Let your demons be my guide For they do not know that I am a god The wind carries me through this pain I wear the blood soaked mask of hate There’s no more time to spare the rod They’re the crazy ones, but I’m locked inside! As we enter the dark of night We have forgotten their names As we enter the dark of night We have forgotten their names The darkest depths of my mind Are an endless void of... Endless void of pain! My eyes so full of hatred My wrath has no limits This is not a dream Wake up Tremble I am feeling euphoric They may call me dysmorphic But the shadows grow on me And I can’t ignore it (x2) As I wander the path of night I have forgotten their names The sky has turned to red My mind is darker My heart is colder The only thing left to do Is to decide to let you live Or to take your life It is time to take truth to the next level The reimagining of gratitude is now happening It is a sign of the things to come No one shall remember you I don’t fear the hate from others You’re the reason I am this way What’s the point of letting it go If it’s eating me alive? (x2) I will silence you (silence you) For I am the one (I am the one) To my feet they are crawling (crawl to me) Everything goes silent
9.
Where do I start and how do I move forward? The truth will not stop this Everything could go wrong There's no way back (No way back) There is no escape (No escape) The only way to change Is to sacrifice what is left I never want to see that day again I keep falling, I keep drifting, I leave my thoughts, And my life is just a dream (Just a dream) I never want to feel that way again [Wesley Stringfellow] As the darkness surrounds me (surrounds me) I can finally see (I can finally see) That it was you, all along And why it's hard for me to move on I live to sleep in solitude (I live to sleep in solitude) As the world begins to fade I feel your presence surrounding me Look into my eyes Free my soul from this pain As the world begins to fade I feel your presence around me Look into my eyes Free me from this pain In a world of illusion Where do we see ourselves? Are we nothing but creatures of habit, Expecting things to be different?
10.
They plant a seed of greed that flourishes to hate We eat the filth they feed us and put seconds on the plate The children pumped with poison, and the elders left to rot United we stand, or have you forgot? Bodies on the streets (Blood on their hands) No food to eat (Blood on their hands) Stains on the sheets (Blood on their hands) No room for peace when there’s blood on their hands Blood on their hands Like a mischief of rats You scavenge for scraps and Leave nothing but crumbs to show (But crumbs to show) Bodies on the streets (Blood on their hands) No food to eat (Blood on their hands) Stains on the sheets (Blood on their hands) No room for peace when there’s blood on their hands Bodies on the streets (Blood on their hands) No food to eat (Blood on their hands) Stains on the sheets (Blood on their hands) No room for peace when there’s blood on their hands Blood on their - hands (Daniel Pill solo) Engulfing the poor You cry out for war Leaving children six feet below Destruction is imminent What’s done is done And now you’re living it (x2) Blood on my hands?

Say Goodbye 06:28
The earth crashes around me Everything I’ve ever known is gone This world is ending I have to say goodbye to everyone I love There is nothing left Say goodbye (Say goodbye) YEAH!!! This is the end of us all This is the world up in flames This world will burn to ashes Thy hand will crash among us all They said the end was coming So look at what we’ve done Created a world of hate To come crashing down It will come caving in As we all burn This is the end So sit back and watch! EAUGH! GO! The day this world ends, no one will be there Just as no one was here when it began WOOOOOAH When it began So as we stand here Watching it all come down This is your last chance To say goodbye to it all This is the end of us all This is the world up in flames This world will burn to ashes Thy hand will crash among us all They said the end was coming So look at what we’ve done Created a world of hate To come crashing down The day this world ends, no one will be there Just as no one was here when it began WOOOOOAH When it began So as we stand here Watching it all come down This is your last chance To say goodbye to it all As we’re gripped by the hands of death We’re not ready to die The hands of time have ceased to exist But we'll fight for our lives An unknown fate in the shadow of Fallen empires Take one final breath Hold it in
