We strive to own perfection We’re still waiting for applause But its only on reflection We will see we are the cause The cycles never ending We’ve lost our train of thought Societies transcending And the picture it distorts Welcome to a world that never holds enough for us Where the waters gone for good and where the earth is dead and dry Will you find your comfort in the concrete and the rust? Welcome to our world destroyed, to the death of you and i The bond is parasitic For a world we think we own Our species never understands You reap what you have sewn The cycles never ending Do you think we’ve lost our minds? There’s no use in comprehending All the damage from our time Welcome to a world that never holds enough for us Where the waters gone for good and where the earth is dead and dry Will you find your comfort in the concrete and the rust? Welcome to our world destroyed, to the death of you and i Now that the baron earth lies bare And all known life is in decay This fucking world’s in disrepair The dawning of our judgement day All of the signs don’t correlate All will be lost to recreate Why do we fail to understand? That we’re the virus of this land. We will consume and lay to waste This world, our final resting place Our species won’t know when to cease We’ll hold this grip and won’t release Welcome to a world that never holds enough for us Where the waters gone for good and where the earth is dead and dry Will you find your comfort in the concrete and the rust? Welcome to our world destroyed, to the death of you and i Now that the baron earth lies bare And all known life is in decay This fucking world’s in disrepair The dawning of our judgement day

Solaris 04:27
The horizons fading fast And the skyline seems so faint Although this earth is destined We will break free from constraint A lunar landscape persists The stars will decease and fade The human race grows fearful Of the world that it made Ignore the signs heading straight for despair I know it’s a struggle but we’re almost there Because what we’ve got is ephemeral We don’t know how long it’s going to last Just close your eyes, wait for the light Hold your breath and wave goodbye As the planet grows weaker, showing signs of disrepair Watching this fall before me, while the sun blisters as it burns I know I’m sick of placing my trust in the lord Tell me what can your faith bring? Can this wasteland be restored? I know that this might be my last chance to see this imperfect place An unknown force grows stronger And in death we embrace This is the end Where the sun is blacked out of the sky A world where the heavens descend And we are left with the fear and dismay From a solar demise Where the planets collide and in turn you and I Will be saying goodbye To the world we once loved we will wait for the darkness Ignore the signs heading straight for despair I know it’s a struggle but we’re almost there Because what we’ve got is ephemeral We don’t know how long its going to last Just close your eyes, wait for the light Hold your breath and wave goodbye This is the end Where the sun is blacked out of the sky A world where the heavens descend The apocalypse turns into chaos as we fall Im out of time and so are you These times won’t turn Won’t you please break through? Because what we’ve got is incredible And we have to make it last Close your eyes, change these times We watch the world meet its demise

I’m losing focus So many pictures in my head An overwhelming lust For memories that should stay dead What do these visions and spectacles mean The views of the future the problems foreseen Reach to the inside to ask myself why Tell me what’s real and what are the lies? In my mind I see mystic revelations Won’t you show me the truth? Won’t you show me the end? My head is vacant My sanity is fading fast A harsh reminder that I know where my own fates at I awake from my nightmares, the truth now revealed In sweat from destruction that my minds concealed I look to the sky where the planets assemble They show me the reason I sit here and tremble In my mind I see mystic revelations Won’t you show me the truth? Won’t you show me the end? Decide the way we are Although the age of man will fall Will you remain to carry on? Remind those fallen few Our species wasn’t meant to last I’ll never dwell upon the past As darkness comes Into my dreams I fall Tear down these broken walls within Show me the meanings origin Won’t you listen to the dreams? In the echoes of my screams My time is fading These pictures show of my demise The worlds collide and end All that of which we do despise The shouts and the screams as the earth starts to crack Our lifeline as past as the skyline turns black I look to the heavens and ask myself why With a future of promise where we left to die? Decide the way we are Although the age of man will fall Will you remain to carry on? Remind those fallen few Our species wasn’t meant to last Our species wasn’t meant to last

Requiem 07:04
So, here it is Blown wide open plain for all of you to see The time has come, I’m sick of Running circles Tired of playing games I strike the match The fire burns Only hatred, echoes through your veins Your demise Is the dream that chases me Our reprise We decide who holds the key Look where we are and what we’ve done You think you’re right you’re fucking wrong You’re words, the message that you send They made us stronger in the end Reject the lies I’ll reach the skies Not held down here For when I rise I’ll reach those highs I’ll end up right where I belong This time, I deserve my own ascension This time, I deserve to be the one These words sound of hate and retribution This time, it is mine, my requiem Now, we are still here, we still remain Through all the searching, through the pain And though the actions you contrive We are alive, and still we thrive And here we are You’re burning down I’ll walk through the ashes, to see You will believe I’ll rise like a phoenix And leave you for dust From the flames This time, I deserve my own ascension This time, I deserve to be the one These words sound of hate and retribution This time, it is mine, my requiem Reject the lies I’ll reach the skies Not held down here For when I rise I’ll reach those highs I’ll end up right where I belong This time, I deserve my own ascension This time, I deserve to be the one I deserve to be the one
