The vultures circle in the skies Leaching on my demise It is the only way That they know how to survive Until the final breath released me from my fate Descend above everything Now all the hope has turned to hate Filled with hollow words and lies We try to conquer our demise We can’t fight everything Accepting chaos won’t suffice All the redemption in the world Can’t save you from yourself You blindly chose a path, oblivious of the way Structurally denying life ‘Cause this is where the pain re- Side step from the original sin Don’t look what’s left behind But find what’s deep within The shadows of the past are the demons of tomorrow Hold on to what’s inside and follow what you know In fragmented shattered minds Most virtues will get left behind They don’t feel anything They define what’s wrong and right If I could only just destroy This wretched part of me Truth is never an opinion, unlike your reality Structurally denying life ‘Cause this is where the pain re- Side step from the original sin Don’t look what’s left behind But find what’s deep within The shadows of the past are the demons of tomorrow Hold on to what’s inside and follow what you know Follow what you know The vultures drop dead from the skies I poisoned them with my demise It was the only way For me to survive Will it release me From the chaos inside Clear out the madness To only find tranquility Always in disguise Hide who you are But there is so much more to see Now stare right into the soul Take a bite right out the soul I bet you they all taste so foul From the skies My demise Only way To survive This is where the pain resides This is where the pain resides

Gaia 05:25
Gaia, she speaks to me As she reveals the path I have forsaken I look down In reverence And bow my head Before this ancient soul The tale she tells me With every word She cries out She cries out in pain We must restore The balance Of our new world disorder Obscure the skies So that no light may reach us As we disfigure the protective veil And lose all connection To the stars This steady, persistent Overwhelming, endlessly Driving downpour Learn to see the dismal forebodings now Deplete the soil So that we may invite disaster And assure the coming of the day of purification As the ashes fall from the sky They will burn the land and boil the ocean Interrupt the energy of life That circulates in waves Sever our ties That bind us to mother earth Poisonous, addictive, corrupting, irresisting Infinite forcing forward Closed our hearts and clouded our judgment We contaminate the sea Pollute the ground we walk on Distribute filth and defile The spirits of all living things around us I’ve seen the aftermath With every sight I cry out I cry out in pain We must restore The balance Of our new world disorder All living organisms, and inorganic matter Are part of this dynamic system Which, through our love for power, is now unbalanced Forcing this primordial deity to slowly die Interrupt the energy of life That circulates in waves Sever our ties That bind us to mother earth Obscure the skies So that no light may reach us As we disfigure the protective veil And lose all connection To the stars Faded away all integrity With only an eye for the I Deplete the soil So that we may invite disaster And assure the coming of the day of purification As the ashes fall from the skies From the skies They will burn the land and boil the ocean

Study scriptures frantically Inhaling knowledge like the air your breathe Forced to reach enlightenment Beyond the kind that most of us will never see Starting with a mind as white as snow Getting stained by the things dictated to know Get rich or try dying As we are expected Do we really have a voice Do we really have a choice No Read about the outside world Imagine how these stories unfold I know too much now So I must go Put everything in the hands Of something I don’t know Will it lead me to eternity Or take me to a new low Do they really hear our voice Are we ever left a choice As I whisper and cast a pitying smile Sitting on the sideline And watch these humans for a while Subjected to reality so bleak Mindless following Is only for the weak Unprecedented arrogance Oblivious to consequence I have seen how self-destruction Has caused numerous kingdoms to fall Spiritual indifference Try to find deliverance I will fight the way In which you made me Until the light takes me Until the light takes me Put everything in the hands Of something I don’t know Will it lead me to eternity Or take me to a new low A journey through this forceful world We are the pilgrims, the mandatory pilgrims

Everything has its tide All things rise and fall Such a fool to think you’re above it all Don’t give anyone the blame We have the same name You’re responsible For their rise to fame Comment wars and camera whores Just thank your lucky stars Designer lives and perfect wives We want you to believe in Politics that just restrict The mask they hide behind Take away your liberties The truth you will find Don’t you know that you’re alone Infinity has a price to be paid And maybe it’s time To see what we have, an illusion of control We walk towards the lie Making it our solid truth As we ensure that the person inside will be defined by code Can you feel the cold Can you hear the lies Digital junkie in paradise We’ve become what we’ve always despised No need for recollection External memories That exist outside your mind You can be anyone you want to be Live out your archaic fantasy It’s easy to spill your guts Flaming threads and trolling sluts Books of faces, all my spaces Glorifying your existence All this online innuendo Anonymous crescendo Hatred to communicate Real life will have to wait Don’t you know that you’re alone Infinity has a price to be paid And maybe it’s time To see what we have, an illusion of control We walk towards the lie Making it our solid truth As we ensure that the person inside will be defined by code Can you feel the cold Can you hear the lies Digital junkie in paradise We’ve become what we’ve always despised We do not stop, we will go There is no rise, only falling Do get lost in the system Digital entity, death of identity And only remembered by code Can you feel the cold Can you hear the lies Can you feel the cold Can you hear the lies Don’t you know that you’re alone Infinity has a price to be paid And maybe it’s time To see what we have, an illusion of control We walk towards the lie Making it our solid truth As we ensure that the person inside will be defined by code 5. ORIGINS This is the fire In which I burn Return to ashes It is my turn With the fire from my heart I’ll burn the world Like a phoenix arises On the dawn of its return Black and white fade into grey As it slowly reveals the price you pay Differing degrees Dark and decadent Reconcile the truth The apotheosis of the sinners It’s men becoming god Blinded by his holy light This ignorance is human blight Salvation does not come without its ultimate price Prepare for sacrifice Reconnect and rediscover Resurrect and rectify The ancients have blessed me With the origins of knowing why As my paradigm shifts My third eye makes me see Images of untold intensity Reconnect, rediscover Resurrect and rectify As we destroy We do create I am the cause But not affected I am the player instead of the pawn Spiraling upwards I feel my world change Is it all around or just inside of me Now I will dare you to believe (Don’t be) Don’t be dictated by anyone other than yourself I shall take vengeance upon my enemies And repay those who hate me For whoever shed man’s blood By man shall his blood be shed For in the image of men We made god Reconnect and rediscover Resurrect and rectify The ancients have blessed me With the origins of knowing why As my paradigm shifts My third eye makes me see Images of untold intensity Reconnect, rediscover Resurrect and rectify Knowing of the sanctity The integrated illusion of fidelity Never lose hope Know that your truth has always been there Don’t ever stop and stare Don’t be dictated by anyone Don’t be dictated by anyone but yourself

Is this the end of common sense and offline consciousness A crude disarray of mind and matter Everything ends and starts anew Return to chaos, as it is the beginning Rise to the core Equinox Change will never be the same Drown, lose it all On the hands of time Nothing ever is the same Nothing ever is the same This is the feeling of lunar vertigo Don’t look down Transcend far beyond the physical realm All is permitted and nothing is ever true It’s light on pandemonium Tarnished by the difference The synthesis of opposites Full light on pandemonium Rise to the core Equinox Change will never be the same Soar like the wind Through the eye of time Nothing ever stays the same So turn the zodiac wheel Find your order in chaos The rules of nature don’t apply Swing the pendulum Gaze at its orbit A celestial sphere Twin snakes Coil and constrict Split apart And order, earth, sea, sky Like life, time and fate intertwined Come to life, grow, feed, fall, wither, repeat Rise to the core Equinox Change will never be the same Fall like the sand Break the hourglass Delusional consistency

Here we go Every little sin will scar your life again We´re not able to fight But how we fight and try to beat the sickness Keep your feet on solid ground Don’t hesitate to annihilate The sorrow that we feel we create This was your burden to bear It’s time to let it go Citadel of sorrow Imprisoned by this black gate The sorrow that we feel did we create Citadel of sorrow It’s our perfect design Now hear our wicked souls cry Defy This is never gonna end You pretend to comprehend This will be your downfall The guilt that took the shame, yours to begin with Now you fall and hit the ground Using it as you see fit Erasing all the sorrow and be done with it This was your burden to bear It’s time to let it go Citadel of sorrow Imprisoned by this black gate The sorrow that we feel did we create Citadel of sorrow It’s our perfect design Now hear our wicked souls cry Defy Rather, I’d rather You don’t get it, we’re signing our lives away Revolt today It’s our last day Our redemption is a gunshot away Your redemption means no comprehension Eradicate All the hate Your redemption means no comprehension Eradicate All the hate Citadel, citadel of sorrow You’ll live with no tomorrow Citadel, citadel of sorrow You’ll live with no tomorrow You’ll live with no tomorrow You’ll live without tomorrow For this time

When the adrenaline explodes inside Do take the extra step that you’ve been denied It’s an addiction without remedy There is no return, but we’re too blind to see Let’s fade away The sky moves sideways Consume and escape from reality Forget about the emptiness, be free Let’s play a game you can’t win or lose Artificial rush destroys the boundaries Of rationality inside And we all need a savior And we all hate the savior Shoot up with divine Casting pearls before the swine Your world is yours to alternate Ascend to where the savior awaits Whatever path we take Every crossroad is another choice What makes us take a left or right We have to live with our inner voice Gazing at the world in third perspective Kingdom so cold Seduced by the honey that drips from its lips Let’s fade away into existence We will not hide, this is our fight This is our redemption Does it matter If a story is true The only thing it does Is replacing the fear deep inside you Facts for fiction Fiction for facts Confirm my reality Conform to my view of this world Go, go, go To us freaks it’s not a show Go, go, go To us freaks it’s not a show For those of us who had a choice For those of us who made the choice Gazing at the world in third perspective Kingdom so cold Seduced by the honey that drips from its lips Let’s fade away into existence We will not hide, this is our fight This is our absolution Gazing at the world in third perspective Kingdom so cold Seduced by the honey that drips from its lips Lets fade away into existence We do not hide, this is our fight This is our redemption We do not hide This is our fight This is our absolution This veiled existence Is what we chose This degenerate generation Needs a fix to see Disconnect from Luna and sol A rush of ecstasy The rise before the fall
