Consecration 04:22
We are the sword of the lamb Driven by the vultures Come to reap the wayward shepherd For we have lost our way In their final breaths, their cries of "Mercy!" die in their throats These divergent suns will set Upon the towers of the wicked Wielding our youth as a shield But in the shadow of death We will be as one Our time has come Witness the dais of mortality Broken by our vanity But with this final cleansing, We will reclaim our unity The empty chasm is endless my friend, But with what time is left The blood of oligarchs will sate our thirst We will lay these thieves to rest This unwinding spiral to the end No kings, no beggars Only men shall fill these graves Witness the dais of mortality Broken by our vanity But with this final cleansing, We will reclaim our unity

Fortress 03:52
Remnants of civilization, nothing but dust On the winds of genocide, blind vengeance at an end A morbid purity, the empty slate again Inscribe the second chapter, the futile human race I’ll drive the hammer, I’ll sculpt the stone, To forge this place we’ll call our own To build a future on regret To resurrect them from the dead This hallowed monolith to your prophetic birth Dishonest genesis built by our father’s will Obscure the odious, destruction of the self Bulwark of innocence, shadow the past that they left behind I’ll drive the hammer, I’ll sculpt the stone, To forge this place we’ll call our home To build a future on regret To resurrect them from the dead

Clarion 04:08
Brothers and sisters, Who here has the courage to ask out loud Why those gone missing among us have faded away? Mother will answer for these Broken homes we’ve always known Have you the heart to see the hallowed past behind us? Will we ever have control? We've been silent for too long Cradles rocking, babies gone Weeping mothers, widowed lovers No room for imperfections, We all know when the night comes And not for one day longer - we just pass on Brothers and sisters, Who here has the courage to ask out loud Why those in place to protect us can take us away? Mother will answer for these Broken hearts we’ve always known Have you the strength to see the choices placed before us? Will we ever have control?

How bad can the outside be if I live there in my head? If I stay here any longer, I'd be much better off dead Slip into the darkness and break away Escape from this concrete slum before it's too late Beyond the veil, a city that somehow feels like home Reveal the history that predates all we've known Return to the darkness and break back in This city is a bastion where we can start again You have gone beyond my grasp to that forsaken place, But you shall see this secret kept or take it to your grave Slip into the darkness and break away Escape from this prison before it's too late Running through the subterfuge, I know I'm not alone Just over my shoulder, I can hear the drones...

Reaching out into the mouth To feed the wretched children To cultivate this life anew But suffering their little bites Has worn my patience thin I'll erase all these mistakes again Now there are no lines left to cross This is the point of no return These sins converging years across A lesson you will never learn Poisoning this bounty with words most impure, They dance in the ashes of their brothers' sins If freedom is what you desire, I'll deliver you the void I've come for the guilty with judgment from heaven For those who know not, See never what he's done The story is the same The end, again, has come "We saw our darkest hour in the brightness of her blinding wrath - showered us with rays of malice, leaving anguish in her wake. Though we begged for mercy, there was none to give…”
