Spiritual Atrophy

Become
Become what you’re meant to be
Walking on pins and needles
Discard this apathy
Reborn
What you strive to be
But first must rid yourself of spiritual atrophy
You’re slipping
Back into a realm of little hope
Your misery
Powers the flame they stoke
Consciousness
Bound by the structure of time
Material
A truth you could never find
It turns out you were simply looking in the wrong places
Asking the wrong questions
Trusting the wrong faces
Synapse misfiring
Contorts reality
Structure absorbs your integrity
This structure, no longer valid anymore
This torture, only here so that some fiend can settle his score
Undeserving, displace the bets with no regrets
While preserving freedom in your heart
Synapse misfiring
Contorts reality
Structure absorbs your integrity
Take a look at the world around you
And tell me
What really surrounds you, compounds you
And takes it’s toll
Synapse misfiring
Contorts reality
Structure absorbs your integrity

Oooh
This is the shit that’s in my head
Clouding thoughts
Fueling the dread
Optimism at an all-time low
Drag my soul below
I’ll be reborn
Inside the fire
Consumed with hate
I’ll crawl from the mire
Feeding the flame
Of the dark empire
Drag my soul below
Negativity
Breeding my proclivity
Neurochemicals inside my brain
Poisoning thoughts
They fester and rot
Providing food for my clever little masters
Multiplication
Mind asphyxiation
Most will never know what horrors have been wrought
My soul has been consumed
By the darkened ones
I am entombed
In the darkest corners of my mind
I cannot revive
My soul has been consumed
And whatever that may mean to you
There’s a battle raging in my head
Time and time again
Paranoia, jealousy
Recipe for insatiable greed
Take that greed
Add a dash of demon seed
Watch as it all turns to ash
My soul has been consumed
By the darkened ones
I am entombed
In the darkest corners of my mind
I cannot revive
My soul has been consumed
And whatever that may mean to you
There’s a battle raging in my head
Time and time again
They’ll take the best of you
And move you around
Do whatever they please with you
‘Cause your conscience is nowhere to be found
The ancient disease
For ten thousand years
Man has succumbed to its power
Through denial of truth and suppression of youth
The clock has struck the hour
All our souls have been consumed
By the darkened ones
We are entombed
In the darkest corners of our minds
We cannot revive
All our souls have been consumed
And whatever that may mean to you
There’s a battle raging in our heads
Time and time again
This is the shit that’s in my head

You’ve eaten all the lies that they’ve fed you
I’m in over my head
You’re too far-gone to see a shred of truth inside
The construct, devalued
Humanity, desensitized
It doesn’t matter what you believe
You will always be brought down by gravity
And all this time, you thought you could cheat
And get around the truths that shape reality
You never listen to reason
The tables turn like the seasons
You preach your lies with flawed cognition
The lifesource, devalued
Humanity gave itself to the fray
Breaking our backs for unpayable taxes
Piling debt to crucify the masses
Preaching neglect of society’s shame
There are no winners in this game
It doesn’t matter what you believe
You will always be brought down by gravity
And all this time, you thought you could cheat
And get around the truths that shape reality

Ancient Disease
08:43

Oh life
And what we’ve made of it
We try
To keep the light off it
But the light will reveal
The light will reveal
Pain
Light will reveal
All the agony that’s been felt in this place
Monoliths of steel
The last standing monuments of human disgrace
So we shield our eyes
We shield from
Death and knowing
Misunderstanding
Life rearranging
We never knew what we were put here to do
So we break everything down into billions of pieces
Pieces of our soul
Gracefully we will follow
To see the ending of our times
Like the sea, it will swallow
And take away all our lives
Will there be redemption?
Will we make an honest plea?
Take your dreams
Chew them up
Spit them out
Making room for suffering
They come in the night to suppress your will
Cleverly disguised they’ll get their kill
They came to throw away all that we had created
A perfect balance, and ecosystem devastated
And all because of their jealous pride
They forced us to hide
This could be the end of it all
Draw in your last dying breath
Little did you know, we answered your call
Dying breathes within the eyes of the ancient disease
The ancient disease
Will come and go as it damn well does please
In the blood of man
For centuries and centuries
The blood on their hands
That will cannot be washed clean
Shall be purified
No fate their own they can decide
No fate their own they can decide
Limited by foolish pride
Little did they know
Little did they know
The parasite inside their minds
Stole the light behind their eyes
Little did they know
Little did they know
Impending doom
Lurches ever closer
Before you know it
It’s at your door
It’s here, death is here
To redeem all that had once been broken
It’s here, death is here
To put the last nail in the coffin

Suffocating Reality
05:09
|

Suffocating reality
Empire of conformity
Manipulating you to obey
Shrouding truth to keep us at bay
No more
Stand against the tide that has pulled you
Stand against the men that have fooled you
Media control tries to mold you
Distraction is a tool to unfold you
Bury the paradigm, their system of control
Bury the paradigm, bury the system
Society of gluttony
Consumerist drones and worker bees
Oblivious to the agenda they feed
Machine men corrupted with greed
Abandon consumerist mentality
The victims of a throw-away society
This evil we claim to be necessity
Is all around us, not just on our TV screens
Bury the paradigm, their system of control
Bury the paradigm, bury the system
Silencing you is what they strive to do
Billions of dollars speak louder than billions of voices
Separate the congregation
We’ve been divided for far too long
Over petty differences that distract us from
All the corporations that have done us wrong
Bribing politicians to keep us blind
To what’s really going on
Bombshells dropping
Billionaires hoarding
Millions starving
Factories polluting
Thousands of species dying
Icecaps melting
Water levels rising, rising to meet the occasion
Global asphyxiation, human desolation
Bury the paradigm, their system of control
Bury the paradigm, bury the system

Pain and Mercy
05:16

Reclaim the promise that was stolen from you
You just have to take it back
Somewhere beyond the realm of pain and mercy
There lies an understanding
The freedom that you seek is in your heart
Realize your life beyond the boundaries of this body
Relieve yourself from faith in things that only
Stole your energy
Removed from the binds, no longer will be silenced
The leaves of apathy have fallen
Down to the ground
Now, become the thing they always feared you would be
An entity
Become intertwined with the power that’s inside it
Belief in purpose now colliding
With the truth of the divine
Now, do the thing they always feared you would do
And find the truth
Become the thing they never wanted you to be
A force against their tyranny
Bow down to no man
No crown or doctrine
Reclaim the freedom that was stolen from you
You only have to steal it back
Realize your life beyond the boundaries of this body
Relieve yourself from faith in things that only
Stole your energy

Soul Destroyers
06:25
|

That little voice inside
That’s coming out in ways too strange to describe
It overtakes you
You don’t know what to do
You don’t know where to go
But you will make it through…
Forging paths
Through infinite space
They found your soul
Deep inside your home
Carefully
So not to upset
They place these snares
Bind you with regret
Stifling cries and
Deviant thoughts
Parading around
Tying you in knots
Their intention
Confuse and distract
Those gullible
Will never react
Use your knowledge like a blade
And cut yourself from the subservience
You know that you cannot go on
Living this way for too long
You will find that there is so much more
To this experience
Than what you have been told
Liberate
Liberate
Liberate
Liberate your mind
The circumstances in your life
That kept you held down
The mind controlling parasites
That left you spellbound
They must be defied
They must be denied
Soul destroyers forge a path
That leaves you hell-bound
Leave deception in the past
Turn yourself around

Broken
Wake up the broken souls
We’ve come to save you
We’ve come to save you
From yourselves
We’ve come to take your pain
Relieve and rearrange
This spirit, so denied
Has withered by and by
Corrupted by my hand
To give a second chance
At life
At will
At choice
Fulfilled
Never surrender power in your heart
To the sorrow that keeps on tearing you apart
If you never can see, then you’ll never be free
From the manifested mind of misery
So leave this behind
Your spirit yearns to be free
So let it be free
Your spirit knows what it needs
So let it be free
Free to face to challenge
Free to break the mold
Free to undergo
What has been foretold
We’ve come to break you
From your shell
To rinse the veil away
Before your soul decays
This world of illusion
Is now over and done
Corrupted by their hands
Developed secret plans
For wealth
For death…
They will keep control
Unless we take the power back
We’ve come to save you
From yourselves
To rinse the veil away
Before your soul decays
This world of illusion
Is now over and done
Blood spilled on ancient sands
You played right into their hands

Burn My Eyes
04:55
|

Return to the surface
The call of immortal souls
We beg for deliverance
The fault line has taken it’s toll
Bleed me dry
To satisfy
Burn my eyes
To capitalize
Capitalize
Shhh… burn me alive
Torn from insurgents
The call is becoming clear
We beg no indifference
To tackle this oncoming fear
Bleed me dry
To satisfy
Burn my eyes
To capitalize
Capitalize
Shhh… burn my eyes
In these coming days
We don’t know where to go from here
We've come this far
We must be the change
In these coming days
We don’t know where to go from here
We must be the change
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Bleed me dry
To satisfy
Burn my eyes
To capitalize
Capitalize
Shhh… burn my eyes

Pry Open Your Third Eye
04:42

Dip your toes in
Keep the calloused mind at bay
You’re the chosen
Freedom just a breath away
Now, letting go of everything you fear
Allow cosmic waves to penetrate your ears
Power, driven, give your mind up to the cause
Hours pass as you extinguish all your flaws
(Free yourself from the curse of the blinded ones)
Your fear and pain inside
Is where your hate resides
We’re here to realign
And pry open your third eye
Break through the barriers inside your mind
Shed the conditioning that left you blind
Your fear and pain inside
Is where your hate resides
We’re here to realign
And pry open your third eye
Should you choose this path
Know you can never go back
Should you choose this path
No, you can never go back
So take the red pill
See how deep the rabbit hole goes
What was frozen
Hidden underground for centuries
Now can take us
To a world that’s spared of our disease
Your fear and pain inside
Is where your hate resides
We’re here to realign
And pry open your third eye

Games

Speak up you witnesses
Of eternal binding grace
Resounding compounded
Forgers of inner space
Don’t be their sacrifice
Energy put to waste
They’ll lead you, and feed you
To the beast of endless hate
Suicidal
Irrational thinking
Perpetual
Thoughts of sinking
To burial
Six feet underground
If you scream when
no one's around does it make a sound?
They’ll cut you up in little pieces
And feed you to their fucking wolves
They crave your self-depreciation
Your own self-loathing is their fuel
Don’t run away
Or you’ll only stoke their flame
Live for today
Don’t feed into their games
Realization
Take back what’s stolen
Brain partition
Compartmentalization
No one listens
Compounded trauma
Take back your mind
From the hands of the darkened ones
They’ll cut you up and serve you pieces
Pieces of your own fucking brain
They’ll make you believe that you need them
Then stab you in the back again
Don’t run away
Or you’ll only stoke their flame
Live for today
Don’t feed into their games

Dreams
04:40
|

I can hear your voice
Calling in the wind
I’ve seen you in my dreams
Our love, innocent
Born against the will
Against the will of tyrants
But I will see you again
When death has become us
We’ll be together again
I’ll see you again
I’ll see you again
And all the anger that kept us apart
Was like a dagger
That ripped and shredded
Straight through my heart
Stronger now, I’ve picked up the pieces
Of a love that left me stranded
And still I have the will to thrive
Still I have the will to survive
Still I have the will to survive
The pain of loss no longer alive
No longer alive
No longer alive
I’ll see you again
I’ll see you again
When my time has come
I’ll be with you again
