So trivial for me to be here now
Oh how I long to be beyond this life somehow
Among the heavens, or deep underground
To mine the vein of life and return once again
I can feel it getting closer
Rend the Earth and cow the sky
Condemn this empty life until we all die
So ethereal for me to be awake
Dread and anticipate this vision from the sky
I reach towards eternal starlight everlasting
This life will take root here, never to fade away
I can feel it getting closer
Rend the Earth and cow the sky
Condemn this empty life until we all die
I can feel it getting closer
Barren Earth and the seas are dry
Condemn this useless life until it all withers away
Grow from this life
Take root in this dream
Bathe in the light where I’ve found my home

Catharsis

At first there was no sound
a second sun appearing in sky to illuminate my mind
and crush the dark that I felt growing larger within me
Then the light embraced me
I felt the warmth spreading out around me as I welcome this release
self governed hate, crumbling like the heavens before me
Look to the sky as it falls around me
Fire on high strikes the Earth
Heavenly light, watch as the sky fades
Erase this life and brings rebirth
My eyes are open
Look to the sky and see it torn asunder
Bow to the heavens in a rain of fire
This sight burned into my eyes
Carved in my very soul
Anger of a million lives
Just let it all go
Die, and let it all go
Cathartic release
Look to the sky as it falls around me
Fire on high strikes the Earth
Heavenly light, watch as the sky fades
Erase this life and brings rebirth
My eyes are open wide as I watch the heavens fall
As light engulfs us all
Embraces us with sweet release

Phoenix

Breath out and give life to flame
A dying ember given hope again
Takes the world abandoned as fuel
To grow the spark of life’s great renewal
From the ashes arises a fireborn gift of life
Reaches to the sky and deep underground
Grows sturdy and strong, spread far and wide
Eclipse the sun and rise with the tide
From ashes to flame
Phoenix rise again
I witness it rise above us all
Endless force of life
No one would dare to face me
If I wield it I could be almighty
Boundless energy
Marvel as I fly to the heavens and rise
Ascend and rise
Conquer the skies
A reign of fire eternal
To claim the crown
All will bow down
And watch me burn it to the ground
The spark turns to flame
Phoenix rise again
The majesty of life will remain
The spark turns to flame
Phoenix rise again
The monarch of fire will reign
This power will shape it
Mould society
Harness the power within it
I will claim it for myself and rise
Ascend and rise
Conquer the skies
A reign of fire eternal
To claim the crown
All will bow down
And watch me burn it to the ground
This flame will burn forever
Burn bright and leave nothing behind
And when the flames reach heaven
A new star will begin to shine

Bloom

The water’s rising, a tide without mercy
Can’t wash away the blood on our hands
Horrific crimes against this place we call home
Is it too late to close these wounds we’ve opened?
We salt the earth and leave the land barren
Too many times, I don’t want to count
Ignore the signs
Proceed with destruction
Of the trees of life
With open eyes I see the light fade
As oceans rise and the skies turn grey
I fill my lungs up with this acrid air
And see the world in bloom around me
The sky is crying a rain of regret
flowing rivers of red
Lightning flashing
it dances fiercely inside my head
Feel the thunder, it urges me forward
To change this passage of fate
The gavel strikes, retribution falls
Is it too late?
With open eyes I see the light fade
As oceans rise and the skies turn grey
I fill my lungs up with this acrid air
And see the world in bloom around me
Save yourself
Escape to higher ground
Buy your way to freedom and leave the rest to drown
Save yourself
Hide yourself away
Climb the highest mountain and live another day
Blooming colour disappears around me
Fading before my eyes
With open eyes I see the light fade
As oceans rise and the skies turn grey
I fill my lungs up with this acrid air
And see the world in bloom around me

Hyperion

The wilderness grows out of control
In the barren fields we once sowed
The forest encroaches on this land
To finally claim back what was never the domain of man
It gives us shelter from the wastes
And feeds our hatred of the nameless king
Who left us here to die
Stand and respire
Roots of hatred grow
Curse at the liars
They'll reap what they sow
This feeling rising in me
This urge no longer paralyzed
Resisting the will that sits upon a throne of lies
And yet he remains writing his own demise
I’ll take this chance and capitalize
No longer will I falter
Safe from the harsh sun
Above the tide
I feel the call of instinct
This wondrous anger inside
Resonating within me
Rise and conspire
Rot from within
Expose the liars
They'll bear the weight of their sins
I wonder, will truth survive
Unscathed from this fight for our lives?
Or like thunder
Will we split the sky asunder
And claim their lives?
Call of the wild
Hymn of the slain
Bury the false king
The crown is ours to claim
This discontent, it grows around us
A seed of doubt, proliferates
Heed our voice, there’s something wrong here
The hate grows, it’s gathering its strength
The roots run deep and it’s killing us slowly
Eating us from within
And although they claim to protect us
Their past is steeped in murderous sin
We will rise
Expose their lies
We will rise
And claim their lives

This foolish indecision
The proctor of the mind
Belief in higher power
That could transcend space and time
They fight to reach the heavens
Yet end up in the ground
Lay root to fruitless worship
Despair is all that’s found
They cannot see it coming
They cannot understand
The fire that they’ve started
That signals the fall of man
And yet it burns so brightly
Consume, degenerate
I feel it call
I will not hesitate
I reach out into the light that left me long ago
Embraced by Mother Earth
It drains my soul
I give sweat and blood to nourish the Tree of Life
That stands above us all
It will not fall
Although it stands before me
In its transcendent form
I fear it will not guide me
It will not mend what’s torn
An overwhelming presence
A pressure from on high
The power of the righteous
A faith that will not die
Its shadow growing darker as I look within
A greed that overcomes them, so filled with sin
A lie that’s spreading out of control
A price to pay, that is my very soul
I reach out to the hand of salvation
It takes all I have
Blinded by the brilliant light
The shadows grow deeper behind me
I reach out into the light that left me long ago
Embraced by Mother Earth
It drains my soul
I give sweat and blood to nourish the Tree of Life
That stands above us all
It will not fall

Where am I?
I’ve lingered in this darkness too long
this quest for light has finally come to an end
I feel it’s close
The Demon haunts me down in the deep
I must warn them; I must escape from
These roots of black have grown down into the core
Of the Earth to take away the fire within
Becoming weak, I must return back to the surface
To warn them, it’s coming soon
Light forsake my eyes
Longing for the sight
I will not seek again
Fleeting paradise
Blind my eyes
As I watch the world burn
It takes me, unmakes me
And in the fire rebuilds me
Reborn, I turn my back on light
And delve down ever deeper
Follow it further into the dark
One step at a time
Explore this world below me
A chance to claim it all as mine
This sight before me defies the mind
A chasm straight down to the core
In this abyss is where I'll find
The answers to the questions that haunt me
Follow the roots into this hell
Abscond this life of sin
I feel this fire in my soul and I know
The answer lies within
Rend the Earth
Cow the sky
All will bow
To the Tree of Life
Get me out of here
I’ve wandered in the dark recesses of my mind for far too long
in this pitch black world I find
a scorching light revealed before my eyes
and I know, I’ll never leave again
Rend the Earth
Cow the Sky
Drain the core
Suck it dry
Bathe in the Hellfire
Burn for eternity
Bathe in the Hellfire
Burn forever more
Dark embrace my mind
‘Til the end of time
I will not speak again
Rotting paradise
Blind my eyes
As I watch the world burn around me
As I wait for these roots to take me from this life
no triumph to my name, no solace for my strife
The roots have reached the core
Absorbed the heat within
Our time is growing short
The end will soon begin
Darkness rise
I wonder of what will come
With bright eyes
I falter in search of the Sun

Solstice

It came from out among the stars
To seek the light it hadn’t found
A place to bask under the sky
And plant its roots deep in the ground
Spread the seeds of life
To live again
Out into the endless night
To live again
Feel the Earth break underneath me
See the tidal waves wash it clean
We will not survive one more day here
It’s the end of time for us all
Pray for your life
There’s no place to hide anymore
I watch it all from land to sky
We’re gonna die
It promised salvation for us all
A light to guide us
Betrayed by the faith, I hear the call
A death knell, the last farewell
We walk the path we made ourselves into the light
Raise your eyes
Breathe it in
Say a prayer
In the end
Raise your eyes, watch as the planet dies
Breathe it in, fill your lungs with air growing thin
Say a prayer, gone is the faith that led me here
In the end, scorching light is all that remains
Feel the Earth break underneath me
See the tidal waves wash it clean
We will not survive one more day here
It’s the end of time for us all
And as the light surrounds me
Time and life slows to a crawl
Life flash before my eyes
I witness the end to it all
Was it all for nothing?
Is life just a cruel whim of fate?
With open eyes I’ll watch the end
As it fades into the light
Fade into light
