Deceit 01:56
If you say you have no regrets Then you're a better person than I Falling short with these new lows Letting it SLIP AWAY How can I live with this? FAILURE LIES DECEIT Regret is coursing through me If only i could take back time It doesn't get any easier The knowledge that age brings Is of no comfort now I fucking failed you I fucking failed us You can't trust me and you NEVER WILL Knowing this is the end FAILURE LIES DECEIT Knowing this is the end And I have to live with myself.

Consecration 02:25
Consecrate the earth In a baptism of blood You think you can illuminate the dark With the ashes of angels? Awakening the devil From his slumber Even oblivion WILL NOT SAVE YOU From the harbinger of darkness In your dreams IT'S TOO LATE TO RUN From your accursed future How can your god forsake you If he was never there A bystander spectating YOUR LIFE Abandon heaven To rape god's creation Mankind, a mirror of his soul? Led to such depravity As to make him weep Violated by his own creations For eternity Unable to stop them For to do so would be To admit his own IMPERFECTION As your castrated god Hides in his kingdom He will hear the cries of his creations Waste no prayers on your saviour WASTE NO PRAYERS ON YOUR SAVIOUR

Control 03:03
There is a struggle Inside my head A war that never ends If I feed the wolf inside It will eat me whole Fighting to keep my mind clear Walls keep crashing all around Struggling to stay on top Eating me alive FROM THE INSIDE Is this a war without end? NEVER GIVING IN Won't fall victim To the demons INSIDE ME I can't control myself I feel it creeping out Trying to focus On what's INFRONT OF ME Is this a war without end? NEVER GIVING IN Won't fall victim To the demons INSIDE ME Is this a war without end? NEVER GIVING IN Won't fall victim To the demons INSIDE ME I'm losing grasp of everything There is a struggle Inside my head A war that never ends (it wants me dead) If i feed the wolf inside It will eat me whole Fighting to keep my mind clear Walls keep on crashing down Reality is escaping Life is unfolding I'm losing grasp of everything Fighting to hold on Go ahead and bash my brains in To end this suffering I don't know how to cope Tormenting myself again and again Time after fucking time I'll never learn I can't believe I'm doing this TO MYSELF Conjured problems PHANTOM DEMONS But I will overcome it all

Dissolution 02:43
Separation, growing apart Life is moving on without me I am here, on my own No man is an island Time passes me by Everyone moves on Distance is between us Fear of being forgotten is crushing me Forget my face Forget my name I'm never there This is the bed that i've made And I will lie in it The grass is always greener WHY CAN'T I SEE? The problems that may not be Choices have been made NO GOING BACK This is the life that I lead I refuse to change AN ABSENT BROTHER AN ABSENT FRIEND Never there in your time of need Never there at all Fear of being forgotten is CRUSHING ME Fear of being forgotten is CRUSHING ME This is the bed that i've made And I will lie in it This is the bed that i've made And I will lie in it But no man IS AN ISLAND No man IS TRULY ALONE I know you're THERE FOR ME You know i'm THERE FOR YOU
