Twisted Seasons, Aligning with all the chaos and disharmony The plot was given Then taken and torn Now lies in pieces, its your new norm Now left to wonder and question why the cold of winter was left behind Storms invoking darkness hoping that it fades Right before the snow in the beginning of May Humid summer heat Twister siren's call I looked to the sky to see the blackbirds fall Its very human to find all the patterns in life but when you realize What youve been served all this time was just one vicious deceitful lie You may long to forget All the time that you spent investing into a life I feel it down to the very core When you think you know there's always more But if the power is inside the heart Could it still function if you keep it locked? I remember how it was before We had enough but still wanted more Now spring holds no meaning to you Just a reminder of the harsh truth Now I wonder if we'll ever heal When all has fallen we thought was real I know in time these thoughts will fade Slower than oil sifting into the lake but when spring begins to feel like fall What difference does it make? Look forward but not too far ahead or be fixated on the heat you dread so close your eyes and look to the time that summer will be perfect again

Moirae, Moirae Guide us, Protect us and lead us to our destiny From the light they've traveled through this vast dimension on a plight to aid us in this earthly dream Deep within the darkness is where I'll take my flight While knowing it could all fall at any time This path has led to intervene the struggle The intent is to release your mind Valkyrie We've not forsaken, nor we betrayed the fate that we gained upon this raid As conquerors of darkness Bringers of the light Sworn to keep the strings of fate from crumbling

Over where it once was A habitually grotesque place if only they could see it from afar They'd witness the error in their way Trapped in stages of infancy Never reaching passed what their eyes can see I can't deny the pain of this plight When in the end all that's left was me I try to see all that's inside but your reckless way has made me grow blind I know someday I will embrace the momentum of this path which I realign Time won't restrain A growing fate Tempting it may be, but still can't escape Such a cruel thing to speculate When destiny seems as though It has come too late What hope do we have of facing the enemy, when we fight amongst ourselves? what of all the time that's lost Sewn from pure carelessness? Perhaps the ploy was essential coming together in evolved states a chance to finally start over, with a fresh clean slate I will not back down from this fight I will take you on day or night The blazing heat or freezing cold Though you play victim You won't invade my home so long as we stand on the soul's sacred path

Dichotomy 04:03
Man the fool, tests temptation, always fails, never listens Nor learns his lesson he will always suffer Under false deceptions, creating the fabrics of reality, Time has played it's course and pride wont save you now We confide with what we believe but only until you awake will you see Wandering souls that fly through dimensions to this dull, unruly fate thrusting forward with lack of traction feel the world move as you've lost your brakes while the radiant portrait of life altered by one path led astray It is time to embrace the dichotomy Living life without a hope, and scraping for a clue What meant the world to some meant nothing to you Wandering through the vastness of illusionary planes Constant repetition, it will never change And when you finally learn, you may find its too late Dichotomy Struggling til the end to meet your fate Wandering souls that fly through dimensions to this null, unlikely place Looking back on paths once forsaken and realize the fatal mistake while the radiant fortress of life gets pummeled by man's reckless way But in time they will meet their dichotomy Some pursue the truth others run and hide anyone can see it either way, you decide

A power was bestowed but despite its might had its fatal flaws After revoking life, it was found to be placebic superstition Of all the years I have walked on the earth none so revealing as now Even the most guarded of hearts can still be pried out Come join us in this slaughter you'll weep and fill with laughter Not too long before it will all just shatter Its all part of a vision can't make a clear decision Just leave it all behind and wait no longer Despite the pain I must say It was all worth it
6.
High in the mountains where there is no trace of man to be found A serene peace defines the land I gaze over each day For so long I have reached for that which I cannot grasp for dear life As I get closer to the top I feel myself slip and fall Transcending reason and the slightest bit of doubt For in those moments It could all fall apart Sometimes I wonder If the mountain has a memory When I know I'll have already drifted away
7.
A venture into the unknown became the greatest story ever told From the forests and through the creeks Its all for the neverending search for nothing This design so graceful and refined but nothing for my eyes to see A boundless experience it lies here Soon lost within the realm of me Intent is held within the path we lay inside It all gets trapped within So you must let your quiet presence be known I can see when wandering the skies This path was chosen And I know that the will of the divine Will stop at nothing I may be endlessly roaming through the night but not forever and I trust that when you look inside you'll see the truth When you learn to live without a conscious reason there is so much more that can be seen Like what may have lied next to this existence Or what may be lurking on the corner of divinity I lift up into infinity Now the story has been told but the blood within still runs cold no longer chasing or bounding all in life which can't be touched
8.
The starry seed drifts endlessly Wandering and lost The coldness of nothing was felt for so long Its time to animate the creation Behind these transparent realms lies an existence close to ours Only welcome the benevolent It guides me, it blinds me The cloak which aids or drains my soul Until we're ascending for the stars When the orchestrators brought the dawn How could they have expected this Showing life in such a vibrant state When we channeled it into hate While I have lived many lives This one may be the last Before ascending to heavenly planes Where I will be of more use
9.
Strayed from the path of earthly instincts Locked into this new moral cage Living in filth that we consume and purvey no desire to deviate Just taught to hate our own mankind And the creatures of the earth Redemption in question There is nowhere to run Onward to the end that they cannot see this lethal path is such a waste Cursed with the myth of destination staring into infinite while some may only live to suffer I know that they choose how to be Behold the depths of earth's conception see it for its divinity its a symbol, of a destiny that which we must hold The embers burning the winds that blow, Nature has shown me all I need to know You are cursed with consciousness So take the worst and make the best some will suffer in the meantime when all comes halting, to a dead end the pain will descend til you come to find that you have been blind So make your last stand Now what becomes of this existence when I left behind myself and lost all sense of separation from the rest of the world
