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

Strings of Fate
03:16
|

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

Call of the Light
05:24
|

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

Mountain's View
05:57
|
|||
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

Wanderer of the Skies
05:30
|
|||
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

Orchestrators of Life
08:37
|
|||
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
|

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
