Grace is falling from me now Nothing's left to pull me out Tearing through the darkened clouds Drowning in the blinding sounds Flush the filth of passion sins Feast upon the bliss within Sanctify the righteous path And feed on the aftermath Can you save me Save me from myself, I'm falling I'm calling, I'm reaching for You Save me, save me from myself, I'm bleeding I'm screaming, I'm crying out Break the seal of selfishness To indulge in selflessness Tear the moral flesh of hatred To reveal the truth of anguish Can you save me Save me from myself, I'm falling I'm calling, I'm reaching for You Save me, save me from myself, I'm bleeding I'm screaming, I'm crying out Save me Save me from myself, I'm falling I'm calling, I'm reaching for You Save me, save me from myself, I'm bleeding I'm screaming, I'm crying out

Scratching the surface begins. Festering poison within. Mistakenly awakened Tormenting rage of fire that's burning my skin, so thin Griping the truth with clenched teeth. Blood's boiling underneath The dark path of self loathing. Transforms the lies to weakness. A crushing blow defeated Flooded with fear and releasing the demons of hate, too late Forgive the inner evil. Past seventy times seven When will I waken? Evil has risen. Am I forsaken? Is all forgiven? I'm crying. I'm dying. I'm trying. I'm lying. Silence is screaming. I'm draining. I'm fading. I'm longing for a true cleansing. Tasting the blood that once bled for me. I'm waiting. Wiping all of these tears away. I'm healing. Searching for pathways back to me. Riping the scars from the flesh. While crawling through broken glass. Disrupting forgotten wounds. Forever consuming the grip on reality, so weak Pain favors all sanity. Rid the mind of past beliefs When will I waken? Evil has risen. Am I forsaken? Is all forgiven? Eyes are now opened. I have awakened. From words unspoken, evil's forgiven.

Can you hear their voices, Like a whisper in the wind Screaming and wailing, Crying to be heard again Swept away, Washed away Follow the breeze, from the sea Taste the tears, Swallow the fear, To be unleashed, free Resurrection machine, desecrated by greed, Wandering endlessly Tolls stolen for passage, to the afterlife Smash the idols of countless lies Elude the human curse of unconsciousness Where is the setting sun, for “Mountains of Darkness” I am the beginning and the end of mankind To live life like a god, and then die like a man Smash the idols of countless lies Elude the human curse of unconsciousness I surrender, to the end of a thousand dreams Free forever, from the sands of eternity The Book of the Dead failed me, The Field of Reeds dismays me Planning for death since birth Kneeling before false gods, when there is just one Smash the idols of, countless lies Elude the human curse of unconsciousness I surrender, to the end of a thousand dreams... Free forever, from the sands of eternity Where is the beyond, I've taken my final breath I want to live on, outside of these walls of death

I fed it for so long, My weakness made it strong I was foolish, Lost in losing I didn’t realize, The power that I had Now I’m fighting, No longer hiding My torment is my shield, My pain the sword I wield My scars my armor, I’ll run no longer The monster closes in, The war will soon begin My hand is steady, I’m battle-ready The demon is cheated, With sorrow defeated It falls before me, A conquered enemy Relishing freedom, With agony beaten And I will rise up, I am victorious I stand upon the bones, Of fears that I’m alone Once I was drowning, Now I’m climbing The demon is cheated, With sorrow defeated It falls before me, A conquered enemy Relishing freedom, With agony beaten And I will rise from, The ash like a phoenix My demon is cheated, With sorrow defeated It falls before me, A conquered enemy Relishing freedom, With agony beaten And I will rise up, I am victorious

The wind is crying out, A sad and mournful sound Can you hear the thunder crashing Can you see the lightning flashing Can you feel the earth moving under your feet The ocean rises over the land Tectonic, a tsunami, raining down its tears upon us The mountains crumble down into sand The ground shakes like an earthquake when the sleeper comes awake No mortal may survive, When the dark one comes alive Can you hear the people screaming Can you see the violence teeming Can you feel the earth heaving under your feet The moon will hide behind the sun Even space hides its true face when the seas release their hellscape The stars will find there’s nowhere to run The universe is cursed when R’lyeh’s sleeper eats the world When madness fills the air The masses will despair The ancient one is called All other gods will fall The priests are supplicant, But it’s too late to repent The brotherhood of black, Know there’s no coming back Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn The gate has opened Now darkness will descend The ancient one is called All other gods will fall In the sunken city The curse of his slumber Will drown us all

Unholy city sleeping. Awakened by pain and weeping. Shrines built upon deception. Cursed beyond their perfection. Beaneath the gounrd something's creeping. Born within the walls of shame. Torn between the hate of pain. Spilling blood to gods of lies. Shedding skin that's trapped inside. Destroying, breaking, changing. Gaining nothing.Greed depleting. Hopeless, woe is leaving Helpless, hope is leading Bleeding endlessly for me Despair is unrelenting. Cursing unhallowed blessings. Grasping for ancient teachings. Ensuring endless living. Dismissing, turning, reaching. Begin ending. New dawn rising. Hopeless, woe is leaving Helpless, hope is leading Bleeding endlessly for me Truth is now revealing. Thriving intent for spreading. Clinging to the faith of change. Bringing the forever reign. Enduring, spilling, cleansing. Embrace praising. Knees are bending Hopeless, woe is leaving Helpless, hope is leading Bleeding endlessly for me

Fearing the terror within, Tormenting images never end Could this be my fate Only one can see, Only one can be Strength of the metal fourfold, only dust remains My vision in dreaming, A path to self destruction My witness in madness, Lead to lycanthropy...foreseen By my own power I'm cursed, Feasting like a beast upon the earth Strength of my mettle behold, my insanity My weakness, my meekness, The world must know the secrets No hiding, no lying, Time for revealing I would catch the sun to dry your tears Cross the seven seas to conquer your fears Look to the heavens I'm not far away Reach for my hand and I'll lead the way I alone brought this upon myself, This is the end of my undoing Open eyes gazed upon my creation, Closed eyes restrained devouring the nation The moment the words left my lips I knew, Arrogance is ignorance when spoken Cleanse disdainful thinking from your soul, Pride is poison that should burn alone My weakness, my meekness, The world must know the secrets No hiding, no lying, Time for revealing I would catch the sun to dry your tears Cross the seven seas to conquer your fears Look to the heavens I'm not far away Reach for my hand and I'll lead the way

It comes as a whisper A chill in the air It grows ever closer A breath at your ear It lurks in corners prowling A silhouette enshrouding Even when the wolves are howling It won’t be kept at bay Ego obumbratio Ego tenebris Ego in finim Ego mortem Then the shadows fall, Behind closed eyes A veil that drops on our lives In the space between dark and light I feel the coming of the pall And the call, Of the night It hides at bedsides creeping In cries of widows weeping Save all your prayers and pleading It will not be swayed Ego obumbratio Ego tenebris Ego in finim Ego mortem Then the shadows fall, Behind closed eyes A veil that drops on our lives In the space between dark and light The twilight welcomes us When the shadows fall, Behind closed eyes We feel the coming of the pall And the call, Of the night

What is this pain again? When will it ever end? Where will the truth be found? Only in death, death, death Following me, Looking down on me Far from me, Feel empty Strange to be, Tied to me What has come over me? From the depths or above Life is pain without love. Slave to the flesh, flesh, flesh Tormenting me, calling out to me Far from me, Feel empty Strange to be, Tied to me Return, to me. Destroy, my demons Like the dawning of the day, My new life begins As (the) sorrow is washed away, I can breathe again Mutilation displays, Are a cry far too late Twisted and turning the truth from shame Desperately needing to place the blame Fractured and burned from inner turmoil Rational thinking leads to disdain Self-judgment digs the deepest of pits Unable to climb, swept with regrets The past is clouding my reasoning Like walking then running in wet cement Return, to me. Destroy, my demons Like the dawning of the day, My new life begins As the sorrow is washed away, I can breathe again

Beyond Agony 03:55
A lifelong dream, Far out of reach, The unheard screams, Lost in the grief The anger, the hatred, no need for something sacred. The burning, the treason, agony beyond reason Fate erases, unturned pages Empty spaces, missing faces The anger, the hatred, the need for something sacred. The sorrow, hearts breaking, beyond agony Fly away, far away from this place Find a way, fade away, to escape Fly away, far away from the pain Find a way, fade away, 'til one day Senseless, tragedy, End this, misery Betrayal, Denial No more fearing, chains are breaking No more running, feel no more pain Fly away, far away from this place Find a way, fade away, to escape Fly away, far away from the pain Find a way, fade away, 'til one day

After Death 05:17
I’m a lone wanderer Tread the bones of this world Made a pact to outlive Sins you cannot forgive Unseen, Unclean Free me, I’m waiting Eat the heart to feed the soul Burn the id to build the whole On the path made of blood From the fire comes the flood Untouched, Unloved Free me, I’m waiting Bring all the fallen to the feast Betray them all to quench the beast The dark consumes and conquers all None will escape the monster’s call The uninvited will come in Extinguish all the light within From time begun to future told I alone will walk this road
