Trailblazer Tiptoeing until I become Tiptoeing through life as it's fraying undone I'm just passing by No intention to stay I've got no business with how you're wasting your life away Revolve Revolve Always chasing thin air But never listening to the wind Unholy - gold turning to rust Unearthly rationalization Out of your lines I'm just passing by Pharisee no need to show me your hands I know they're unclean Testify all you witnessed Deadlock in your eyes They'll burn my blood Silence only feeds the rumours I'm your cautionary tale Hidden away Mistaken - you've got it all wrong Thorn in the eye Your lesson all along You call yourself hunter Well I am not scared of you I never was the prey I'm only standing in your way Pharisee Self-righteous, entitled Evolve Evolve Testify all you witnessed Dead wings in your eye Counting skeletons Quiet now - they are approaching Cautionary tales resurrected Resurrected Pioneers align Gathering our own kind Pioneers align
2.	Crimson 04:59	lyrics	buy track
Crimson Never say a word of affliction Never count up your regrets like dew drops on rotten leaves Keep all your masks at hand Tell me all you have been through Tell it like a tale where the end is due And conceivably everything makes sense when nothing's left of me I don't deny you I pretend I don't hold contempt You cater to yourself Blood-stained ransom But nothing was ever free Never attempt to speak the truth As long as words remain holy Trading sin for sin All actions sacred I give my life within your divine sovereignty Rip my skin apart Inside I'm empty This cave of flesh won't heal Lost in this game you steal Don't you have a heart? Don't you have a heart? Don't you have a heart?
3.	Wolfsbälge 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Wolfsbälge In the forest my heart is pounding in my chest Isolated Run with me Run until you cannot breathe Eyes are staring Glowing in the dark Blood-shot, dancing sparks Home is nowhere All the wild creatures know here We're abandoned but we will attune Hear the pack howling under the moon When the night falls And all faces appear And my vivid blurry memory keeps freezing in fear The screams inside my head become the lullaby of the dead I've taken your oath But you are breeding a world of devastation And I am breaking forth to find my own tribe How far can you run when you've got nowhere to hide? And suddenly I feel alive Astray - still not knowing my way When I fall I really fly off course I really fly to the next shore We're abandoned but we will attune Hear the pack howling under the moon When the night falls and all the faces appear and my vivid, blurry memory keeps freezing in fear Pitch black sight No source of light And I almost forget how you infected my mind The screams inside my head become the lullaby of the dead
4.	Misanthropia 06:03	lyrics	buy track
Misanthropia It's not your fault It's not your fault In their ignorance you were taught Reckless abomination Non-existent hesitation Rapacious Ostentatious Greedy, little feeble-minded Eating yourself alive Of all virtues deprived Atrocious Wallowing in your own hypnosis I am lost to this world Ease my scarred mind My abductive inference Is merely adherence I become what my eyes are fed Am I whole yet? Devoid of these holes yet? No rest assured No, never Always seeking Connecting, bleeding I don't speak your frame of mind Meet my devils Judges dishevelled Take apart And crucify Fearless and faceless I'm falling into the abyss Eyes wide Chided child Transgressing into the light I feel your hollowness Suiting me in the process Confess Confide Confess Reverse catharsis Confess Trapped in psychosis Confess Empty your carcass Confess Empty your carcass Confide It's not your fault Run away before you're caught And I remember when the days seemed so long And I certainly, certainly knew right from wrong I knew where I belonged I knew I'd never falter like the people in waves around me I toss and turn each way Now surround me Epiphany will illuminate me Disrupt me Construct me
5.	Exhibition of Death 07:45	lyrics	buy track
Exhibition of Death Transitioning Immersing slowly From one world into another Are you at peace Finally? A new era This withering coil What gruesome events take place in the unknown? Where is this fear stillborn? Restore my innocence with a wreath of lilies King vulture is circling above me Time has transfigured us into untruth Hanging your symbols on my dissipated youth If there is no pain How can there be bliss? I'm clinging to what I collected so dearly I want to believe Origin dismissed This womb I creep out of is nearly Dying Dying I'm dying Dying Dying And I dig deeper Placing my fingertips on stardust Cleansing my skin from rust And I dig deeper Placing my vision into hope Witnessing liberation And I dig deeper Until every fractal realigns Inconsistency synchronized Abnegation aphorised Life internalized Restore my innocence with a wreath of lilies King vulture is circling above me Time has transfigured us into untruth Hanging your symbols on my dissipated youth Return to innocence on this journey ahead Pay the ferrymen with pennies for the dead King vulture and all his crows unite Encompassing the scenes of the last fight Make haste The echoes of the last breath This is it They tell me this is death Make haste The echoes of the last breath This is it They tell me this is death They tell me this is death
