Crawling 03:47
Twenty four years and counting i’ve been calling Twenty four years and counting i’ve been crawling A fading blur, a spiral, and tiresome longing bells Your secrets : the skin the whip the poison the knife

Dead Star 04:15
The adversary brought me The finest lies as an offering The finest wines of oblivion And i might as well drink The adversary taught me The ways of the world And the signs in the skies And i might turn to my Dead star The adversary brought me Suffering flesh and sultry skin In mouthless silent shapes I might as well scream The adversary taught me To bear the wounds of woe To love the joys of solitude When i carry my Dead star lying within me I drag your charred remains I pray to your withered altar Ghost-like winds Whisper words of doubt I say : spirits i’ve come here To claim back my Dead star lying within me I drag your charred remains I pray to your withered altar I pray your withered corpse

Inwards 04:42
Would you initiate the downfall Of everything we knew ? Would you covet the forbidden fruit Of labour and sweat ? Would you come to me and take my hand To watch our passions unravel Would you hand me the torch To burn the bodies of our victims Death has found its way in me I have felt it though my core We discussed facts and ideas We talked of petty rumors I loathed the time she stayed in I loathed as well when she left Opened the gates on my free will I was alone with my theft Would you sink again bound with chains To the outsized anchor Would you be the pariah stranger From a land that never was Would you raise greed and conquest To be unleashed as wild horses Would your hands carry the midnight hour For its light to blossom Death has found its way in me I have felt it though my core We discussed of facts and ideas We discussed of petty rumors I loathed the time she stayed in I loathed as well the time she left Opened the gates on my free will I was alone with my theft I can feel it inside

Witness 05:35
Yes i witnessed the fall of the trees Strangled in their growth The great departure of the tribes Leaving their infected hives With head lowered now i await My turn in the purge Against the cleansing I am not Of the resistance Dread left last long ago Following the will to survive The end for me shall come swiftly Under some wandering teeth Yes I come from a time when Hope still walked among us He left without wearing boots His feet were bleeding remembrance Yes I witnessed the fall of hearts Eaten alive by the machine And its conflicting currents Waging war within us all There are some bodies still pinned down Withered on the chapels' door With this note : "in the distress they felt We shall find our pride and consolation" Yes I witnessed the fall of man Rolled his tears as from his torch Were burning the fruits of the earth Yes i witnessed the fall of hearts Eaten alive by the machine Yes I witnessed the fall of the trees

The Purge 04:54
Suffocating within the cage of fear Assembled by my patient hand Abscesses of constraint I shall pierce To confront death within me To begin the reconquest of my rights Investigating with ardent zeal Elements of sedition within me With devotion, to lead the purge The violence of our hearts shall be Resolute with deadly benevolence I know for sure my immense weaknesses But as I benumb the ways of death in me I can be truly certain of one thing : Falling will not harm my flesh/soul anymore

Physical 05:28
Bloom the shapes In a physical world Ordered in mouths Three streams A sigh polished Mirrors faces And the melodies Of accomplishment And spread thin Light stains On the welkin Hung below Blessed the movement The moon freezes And fire falls It just happens
