lyrics

I contort this blueprint.
Edifices shall form; a new civilization, a new vacancy.

Gaze into my diamond eyes.
A ruthless tyrant, a righteous savior; I speak them all ever so fluently.
But this monolith persists, forever mocking me.
But a gaze into its fragments brings reflection.
Authentic validity beckons me; complemented by a blanket of fallacy.
Shattered stone arises before me.
And so my masquerade ceases..
Is this peace of mind?

Original statements lost in this madness.
Oscillating from left to right.
I lose myself; we lose ourselves.

Illusive masks hanging on the edge
Burden rubble above me; swallowing me,
Crushing my lungs ever so swiftly
Death whispers in my ear...

Is this not what you crave?
A common tragedy for all eyes to see?
Compressed avarice of your true identity

ARISE!

Arise to this mirror in the aftermath.
Disfigured by the years of wear.
Refusal to the archetype of tragedy.
For wisdom has finally arrived.
And into the mist I go forth..
I go forth..

It slams and flows and ends as quickly as it begins. This album makes me weak in the knees as I'm battered by torrents of riffs, carried aloft by a choir, and obliterated by unforgiving vocals. just a sandwich
