Spate 04:49
Spate Denial filled the lake This dam's about to break Our hubris pulls the shades But cannot stop the spate It's coming It's mowing down It's only purpose is to put us in the ground Our time is fleeting, so use it well The longest journey is back through hell We search our lives for meaning Some truth behind the feeling We tie the tourniquet of greiving But nothing stops the bleeding We will not suffer anymore If we accept that death is at the door We take our chances and sins in kind Our fickle actions are lost in time We pray for future to cleanse our crimes A species consumed by it's own mind We beg for something freeing Some escape from all the needing We're trapped inside our own derangement But it won't change if we don't change it We must take back our time And elevate our minds Above the foolish thoughts That decimate our lives Denial filled the lake This dam's about to break Our hubris pulls the shades But cannot stop the spate We must take back our time And elevate our minds We cannot stop the spate We cannot stop the spate

The Crown 06:04
The Crown Severance promised never came to fruition Severed the populace, victims of blind ambition Freedom we thought we attained For which we fought, we bled, we blamed On the pious, sanctimonious few Who tried to push their virtues All throughout history Man creates his own misery Following recklessly The bloody hands of royalty Count the days until our path is swallowed by These thorns of nevermore That cease the vision in our eyes Escape our fate Our plight Reclaim our peace Our lives We'll breach the silence that you've created To keep our voices down Expose the violence that's perpetrated By descendants of the crown The minds they've harnessed End up bending to their will Count the years And watch our time get swallowed by The cold indifference That trickles down from those on high We need to speak our minds We must take back our time We'll breach the silence that you've created To keep our voices down Expose the violence that's perpetrated By descendants of the crown The minds they've harnessed Are defending terror still No matter how we pray Rains that come will wash us all away And now they'll try to deny As they beg to the sky Using only their faith They cannot stop the wave And the wave is crashing down They cannot stop the wave And the wave is crashing down The wave is crashing down
