It fulfills the prophecy Unstoppable technology Steel has seized the upper hand We concede as it commands Itโ€™s too late to intervene Mating man with machine No forgiveness for the damned Heed the replica of man The arbiter of reality Destined for brutality Too supreme to understand So decreed the master plan Race for pure autonomy Erase the human colony No forgiveness for the damned Heed the replica of man

Sight To See 04:20
Darkness has come around It approaches me Whatโ€™s in the list and found? With some luck itโ€™s a key All alone and lost Whatโ€™s expected to be? Sanity is the costโ€ฆ What a sight to see I walk alone You cannot see Has it been that long? An eternity Now the path is lost Just take it from me You aimlessly wander around Decisively Bury it in the ground What you said to me No love lost Much more found Such like a rat in a trap What a sight to see I walk alone You cannot see Has it been that long? An eternity Now the path is lost Just take it from me

I am the problem child With the wild eye Survived by the broken bastard Beacon of our lives I break the glass and steal your envy I am the problem child I break the seal And live to steal your living prize Without a simple secret Saving face you recognize There is blood surrounding Where we should be drowning Sweet and softly they repeat It fell too far, I feel the heat Sweet and softly they repeat It fell to far, it canโ€™t be beat I am disguised To recognize and paralyze Our mind it weaves a web And won't regress into demise

Diviner 03:40
Trying not to drown Smiles all around Arms are flailing while Iโ€™m going down Barely made a sound The doorway to tomorrow Is slowly being closed Oh diviner, show me how I will be reborn Hanging onto breath Bet you havenโ€™t guessed Breaking habits only by request Should I be impressed?
5.
Iโ€™d like to address that Iโ€™m on my own Why would I contest this love Iโ€™ve been shown? Is it even there? Iโ€™m eager to say Those urges you feel oh keep them at bay Oh no, oh no She gave you her trust to love her so She answered with lust and she will go And now I must say that Iโ€™m not surprised Apologies now they will not suffice Oh no, oh no It feels like Iโ€™ve known her for years Not without y fears She was all alone, I was NOT! She could see, me wanting Not for long! And through the haze a visage appeared And I was afraid of what was unclear And if I react I might not survive Apologies now, they will not suffice Oh no, oh no She gave you her trust to love her so You answer with lust and now you will go And now I must say Iโ€™m not surprised Apologies now they will not suffice Oh no, oh no Now, bend and fold!

Swamp Water 04:54
Lightning Everywhere Heightening Our despair Red tide Will appear End times Are coming here Swamp water rise above the curse Swamp water baptizes in dirt Retribution for the Earth Populations are submerged Sky burns Charring flesh The brighter Darkness gets Nations Disappear Nature Perseveres Swamp water rise above the curse Swamp water baptizes in dirt Retribution for the Earth Populations are submerged
7.
Shame 03:50
Waves Feel the power, feel the pain Shame Never ceases to amaze Save your breath Save your breath Save your breath Look me in the eye Fight the feeling Wave your dreams goodbye Going under Shake Tremble to the edge of day Break Back against all that they say Save your breath Save your breath Save your breath Look me in the eye Fight the feeling Wave your dreams goodbye Going under Look me in the eye Fight the feeling Wave your dreams goodbye Going under Going under Going under
8.
Four horsemen riding in Earth torn with war and sin Annihilation begins Red light shines ahead Blind eyes, bloodshed Justice is for the dead Imperial weapon Aggression Confession Will you feel the steel of the sword or the scepter? Ascension Possession Will you feel the steel of the sword or the scepter? Too many mouths to feed Madness, pain, and greed Last gasp of hope released The division are cast in iron Superstition masked as honor All tastes the same in fire

Hive Mind 09:13
Cries go high above our sky Above the light our spirit dies Compromise until weโ€™re blind Sacrament is our demise In your hive mind Flea from mankind Wicked decline Made by design The future lives above our mind Disguised by life destroyed by time At the mercy of our lies Planetโ€™s womb we are confined We obey What we made On display For our age Stars divide our motherโ€™s eye Vision black and hypnotized We all seek a higher mind So take your breath and blaze a fire Take flight, ignite, leave all them behind
