Essence and the Moon (free) 05:20
Who am I, the moon with no light of its own Prominence in black velvet skies It wounds me deeply as you speak to my soul The realization of existence unfolds A whore with no warmth and no place to call home The moon reflects the glory of the sun As willed, some are brought to life You can only share a gift if you have been given it Radiance of white and pearls of lights are nothing in comparison When they behead me I wish only for light To spew forth from my neck Destruction will come swiftly Even the stubborn will fall The tree that won't give up it's leaves Moon boasting glory not of their own Their ruin will be smitten throughout the universe Wraith will strike them down Many bodies and souls, the mountains will fall You are being foretold When they behead me I wish only for light To spew forth from my neck So in the vast darkness on earth Maybe another shall see The truth that has been revelead Like the heat of a tear-drying sun The complete eternal sacrifice of the son cannot be undone The sun, moon, and stars, entwined with a heavenly glow Such a foul and sacred creature is not worthy A heart of flesh, ears that may hear, and eyes that truly see Lord willing you shall receive What do I have to give? Take everything Leave nothing I do not need In essence there is death until your heart is replaced Freed from your frozen chains A fleshly transplant your coin may not buy And your actions cannot sway

Solarium (free) 04:05
Brick by brick you build your walls You would like to think you have achieved Your structure grows only to fall What is this goal you speak of to gain? You follow the path of illusion When you perish, is this what you plan to take? Dead bird never felt so alive Until resting in my hands All other paths are fraud Will what you live for last? Remind yourself, as do I need to be What do your goals intend to achieve? Your life is only a fraction Ask for cognition, apprehension The sowing of your own enlightenment Will not allow reaping of salvation Your reason, man-made solarium What do your goals intend to achieve? Our time is only a fraction, only a dimension So pray, destroy, and rebuild if necessary Whispering past your ear... eternity

War and Rapture (free) 06:52
Hallelujah... Father, God in Heaven, please Hear, grant my prayers Save me from myself, my sin, Ignorance, this hell on earth You are reality, my world is but a dream As I walk, death walks towards me One more day closer to the coming My pulse grows as the scale leaves me Alone I am weak, easy to devour, prone to deceit I lust, I hate, I lie to myself Alive to the world is dead to the grave Beautiful creations Wasting my days away Hear me, change me, break me I have traded roaches for mice Lies for white lies I know it is time I must move on There is so much tragedy But impossible to weep No time to cry, tears of beauty, a luxury I barely receive War, is this blood drenching my soul? Too many a time I have lost control I hate this sin but indulge in it Long for, but dread a walking sunset Here comes Leviathan, his time to strike again I wish to walk in the light

Malady (free) 04:17
Temporary fulfillment, unsatisfying Between winter and summer, lukewarm This is where I fall The flower teaches a lesson of life A garden left unattended Is not far from the heart and mind The wind is needed to make the tree grow stronger Higher and farther to its potential Distraction are what these demons call on The idols of the earth, they make their whores I beg for you Is this the state of my heart? Revive the forest, the woods that they may stand strong Purge all that is dead, so that new life may grow I beg for freedom, A heathen asking for everything Lay me across the anvil Cool the fires of my vengeance Purge the heart and mold its shape Cover me in the blood The one cure for all our sickness The cure for all sin and shame Malady of the spirit, a malady of my soul Even my lack of explanation is unsatisfying Bridge this void

Carnival Mirror (free) 05:00
As you quench your lust opening your thighs to mutilation Minds so twisted they are satisfied by their own rape A drugged soul Bodies lying naked and paralyzed Thoughtless walking corpse Chained and guided by the blind So curious, so deadly, so temporary For the fashion of this world passeth away Venomous are the pleasures of this world A vast festival, a constant vanity fair Immoral people, of a disgraced nation Such perversion of God’s greatest creation Not one pure motive, most corrupt, all are tainted There is no hope without a savior All are hopeless to sin without a savior Aroused by perversion, entertained only with destruction Entranced by the axe of a woman Entwined with temptation Following in the steps of dead men Living a Godless lie, the truest deceit It does not take long for the simple man to become consumed A little sleep, a little slumber Wrath and judgment knock at the door of the sluggard The glutton feasting on the flesh of his brother Two faced serpent All are friend, and all are enemy So emotional, so emotionless Burned up you shall be, as are diseased swine Carnival mirror, you have killed my child! All are hopeless to sin without a savior The love of my life was nothing more than death seducing The lust of your life is a lie... The lust of my life is a lie!
