You’re standing alone
Once again
Or are the demons keeping you company
In your head?
The definition of loneliness can be so blurry
Due to the creatures within
Pulling the strings
The voices are calling your name
Will you answer their call?
Have you ever floated
In space? Abstract thoughts
Dreams of alternative dimensions
Without all of the pain
As the planets start to collide with each other
The ground starts to shake, erupting
Mother earth bleeds once again from the inside
Total dismantling of all we have known
What is left to be seen?
This is the beginning

A Catastrophic Rupture
03:42
|
|

|
When everything gets sucked away
Through the ruptures in time and space
There are holes in this universe
all of our lives
all of our time
all of our days
decay in space
all of our lives
all of our time
all of our days
disintegrate
all of our lives
all of our time
all of our days
decay in space
all of our lives
all of our time
all of our days
disintegrate
This is where the world comes to halt
the prophecy of old will forever be known

Timeless Beasts
04:09

he March of the Timeless Beasts
On the border of time
We dance on fine lines
Between distant melodies
They are marching, onward
They have no empathy
They are marching, onward
They have no empathy
They are marching, onward
They have no empathy
They are marching, onward
They have no empathy
The beasts are moving
Always in motion
The beasts are moving
Always in motion

Empty Echoes
03:11
|
|
||
|
The sound waves breaks
The barriers that existed long before time and space
A Destruction left from the beasts marching path
What is left for carbon organisms to see, when the ripples move across the seas?
Empty screams echo from
The murders of all lifeforms
The sound waves breaks
A Destruction left from the beasts marching path
Empty screams echo from
What is left for carbon organisms to see, when the ripples move across the seas?
As the skies divide
Rays of light shine down

Rejecting the Truth
04:36
|
|
||
|
They had seen it coming down
They had seen the future
Now we reject everything
we have learned
When everything is gone
We ignored it coming down
We ignored the future
The fabrics move across
The blackened skies
Destruction has already commenced today
Nothing will be left
Only the debris of life
Where we will find ourselves
Lying helplessly until it will all end
Nothing has been easier to understand (we all die)
Nothing has been easier to understand (we all die)
Nothing has been easier (we all die)
Nothing has been easier (we all die)
Nothing has been easier (we all die)
Nothing has been easier to understand (we all die)

Celestial Fabric
05:30
|
|

The celestial fabric wraps around this suppressing space
Stars like needles pierce through the skin
Vacuum takes over, it’s getting harder to breath
Betrayed once again by the figurines within
The warm embrace of the darkness takes the sight once again
Within me, the feeling of emptiness comes to life
Stuck between alternative, realities once again
Betrayed once again by the figurines within
The warm embrace of the darkness takes the sight once again
The soul is leaving the body
Only an empty husk remains
The beasts shall feed on the
energy surrounding me
The celestial fabric
Speaks with the stars
So non-divine
The celestial fabric
Sweeps over you
Sweeps over everything
The celestial fabric
Everlasting
Destroyer of worlds
The celestial fabric
Shuts your eyes
Takes you away
Far from here you will go
Let them siphon your soul
It’s not over
It’s not over
It’s not over
It’s not over

Floating here within
Familiar feelings of deja vu
The astral plane is nowhere to be found
Are we stuck between realities?
Death riddled lands they know no bounds
Only the sorrow will speak the truth

The Elixir
04:05
|
|
||

The elixir has found a way in to my hand
Drinking this will help me see it all so clearly
The abstract chaos inside, or is it outside?
Will this potion help me see from a higher perspective?
The rivers of elements are flowing through me
Leaking out the vivid scenery falsely created
This has gone out of hand
No potion will help reaching the unknown
The suppressing space is growing
Swallowing everything
That we’ve ever loved
The prophecy, can it be true?
It all crumbles
It all falls apart
It all crumbles
Nothing is what it seems
The vision is fading
Nothing new was seen
The abstract reflections are everlasting
No potion shall contain the truth
So admit defeat
And float in space
The rivers of elements are flowing through me
Leaking out the vivid scenery created
The illusions colliding
With realities of nothingness

Reciprocal Space
04:13
|
|
||
|
Currents are going through
The electrones shining oh so bright
Aligning with the beasts of destruction
Only time will help us solve this mystery
Why the planets started to shake
The marching has come to halt
There is something in the air
The vibrations have stopped
Is there a darkness brewing?
Saving the breath for the future
As the oxygen is scarce
The abstract being pointing us out
As the scapegoats
From a distance
Only the dedication of the dead
Will answer to the higher calls from above
By slaying the beasts a peace may be growing
The marching has come to halt
There is something in the air
The vibrations have stopped
Is there a darkness brewing?
The prediction had been made
But the events were not stopped
We all decline the abstract
Why does anything exist?
This space is now gone
Forever lost in the energy
The beasts are dead, decay spreads
So we march into voids
To find salvation from the past
But all is dead inside

The Inevitable
04:24
|
|
||
|
It has been building up
The world we once had it is all aflame and
Nothing will remain except for the ash
As you will find yourself crawling out of the abyss
The cosmos is absorbing it all
Demons have commiserated (at you)
For the longest of time without you ever realizing
Is this how it all ends?
Has the time finally come?
We have always known
The inevitable destruction
As you will find yourself crawling (abyss)
The cosmos is absorbing (it all)
Demons have commiserated (at you)
Without you ever realizing
Now we can see the massive entity
The cosmos is absorbing it all

Blackened Skies
04:38
|
|
||
|
These bright waves of photons
Penetrating the fabrics of the black ceiling
No god will save us now
Loud cracks of anger moves
Humanity is at fault
Their minds could not succumb
To the abstract
Even if it was so simple to understand
To avoid the inevitable
Even if it was set in stone
that we will all die
As the universe goes in reverse
