Once again I find myself in the teeth of someone else's memories Chew me up and spit me out like all the other remedies I find myself in the crux of someone else's legacy Drown me out like the breaking waves in all the other melodies The prey of the Martyr will never learn the lesson The agony of symmetry is disguised as a blessing Heart and feather, initiate soul scan Witness the apotheosis of a dead man I will sing my funeral rites and Raze the altar to reach new heights I've been watching it for years but still don't understand it Aeons of opportunity evolving souls with deficit Struggle up the mountain, find the stone slab at the summit Will you have the courage then to place yourself upon it? I watched your face for years and years Spitting lies about me Throwing stones, my broken bones Will ne’er go on without me Cuando el día cae, regreso yo Y ahí es que está el detalle Entre lluvia, y sol, te reto, a ver, Aquí no hay quien me calle En días nublados, de sol y de lluvia Decían que se casan las brujas Las viudas se ríen, de noche y de día Contando al dedillo la trama Si pensabas que aquí sin derecho tú entrabas De veras, me pesa en el alma Pero al día de hoy, yo soy lo que soy Y tú apenas me alcanzas la espalda The prey of the martyr will never learn the lesson The agony of symmetry is disguised as a blessing Heart and feather, initiate soul scan Witness the apotheosis of a dead man I will sing my funeral rites and Raze the altar to reach new heights

Hold my vision Your touch on my reality A scene so beautiful Its lies a necessity Don't open your eyes Or you might see How it's not just you You've also blinded me My worth isn't worth it, I wouldn't have guessed But you can't help but feel its weight in your chest Forging a heart with my gold starts to hurt And soiling my name takes it toll on the dirt You, You're the king of the sacred You, You must be mistaken 'Cos we aren't the only ones whose eyes were taken I, I've seen that you wouldn't believe And I, I can guarantee The blind lead the blind into mutual defeat The keys are in your grasp As the call is heeded I witness the first kindness I never needed It spills from your hands, your forgiveness And it helps me to join, the ranks of the sightless Feed me your rhetoric, and tell me its mine Hand me a feather and show me the line Fletch the quill with which i signed And loose while you can't see the whites of my eyes I give while you take but I'll take what you give What choice do i have when the choice is to live You played on my trust so trust me I'm not playing Now I say what goes and that goes without saying You left me Severed You've left me severed I don't dare to sleep For fear that I might dream of what I've lost Now I'm tethered And I cant wake up For fear that I might learn what it will cost You, You're the king of the sacred You, You must be mistaken 'Cos we aren't the only ones whose eyes were taken I, I've seen that you wouldn't believe And I, I can guarantee The blind lead the blind into mutual defeat

The moon understands So I drink in its light I pray for a sign there's No end to this night Because On the other side Of this veiled sky there's another day in heaven In Sight Skin to stone I let the warmth from my mind What gave you the right to take what I owned? The stars catalyse an emotion I can't find I'm grieving a feeling that I've never known Or maybe Its just one That I left Behind I need... Just one hand to reach for me To pull me from the waves Just one whisper I can hear To pull me from this grave Before I am washed away Steel to bone, it brings forth a new fear Why find a new light, there's a shadow that you know I bleed static from the bite of the spear And the cross will pack the wound with snow Or maybe it just wants To make things crystal clear Crystal clear Just one hand to reach for me To pull me from the waves Just one whisper I can hear To pull me from this grave Before I am Washed Away There aren't any whispers I can hear There aren't any hands to keep me here Don't let me disappear I don't need a whispers I can hear I don't need a hand to keep me here You can't make me disappear There's something I don't understand Hidden deep beneath the sand That used to be mountains I have climbed But there's new glass upon this beach With every footprint that I leave And soon there will nothing I can't see

A Heart of bone bound in the nerves of the confluence Congruence of conduits, bloody from the consequence Defile every sentiment left by the monuments The agony deflected by the flesh of the innocents The stars they will not shine on the night of my awakening Chains of the anathema annihilate the paradigm Serve me as the strings I use to puppet the divine Desecrate the echelon of parasitic archetypes Look to the void for a new kind of paradise Every breath I take gives the earth another lesion Inhabited by heathens that see reason in their feeding A legion of the needing grieving their meaning What do you believe in? give me a reason! The runes carved in my bleeding crown Inflict an age of sundown Chains of the anathema annihilate the paradigm Serve me as the strings I use to puppet the divine Desecrate the echelon of parasitic archetypes Look to the void for a new kind of paradise All will bow to the gravity demon Welcome to my Cataclysm Eden I will take everything from this world

The hands pushed through Where the veil is thin And I couldn't hide What they found within My eyes had been taken My hands had been bound I was stood on the edge Where had I been found? I pull the sacred strings that lie between the stars Manipulate the bodies and control the tidal heart Every time i wound the sky, I wound the avatar I am the heavensbane, and i arrange your scars The hands pushed through Where the veil is thin And i could not hide What they found within An effigy of stars and string A web of the galaxy Where does it begin? You cut through the dark With your hearts light But the darkness was mine And you took my night The hands pushed through Where the veil is thin And I could not hide What they found within I smothered the stars And I cut through the web To hide from myself Something I never said The hands pushed through Where the veil is thin And I could not hide What they found within

You wake up to the storm Inside your mind And there's lightning striking The dead back to life It empties the graves And gets them fed On what little soul is left You better tread Lightly Or there's gonna be bloodshed its not like you were gonna quit while you had a head So let them feed And live with the consequence Just don't try to make me Suffer your incompetence You built me a throne from your iron fist and made sure the atmospheres electric But I wont be shocked when you scratch me off the list cos My skin is fucking dielectric dialectic, yeah you think you're the shit, So effective so affected such a skeptic I can't make my mind up on a metric To measure how much of you is already septic You're, making me sick (You're making me sick) You're making me sick, ugh Septic skeptic so dialectic Septic skeptic so dialectic You grew another face when you ate your twin So in every vicious pageant you've got two chances to win, And a way to cheat death every time I pull the pin You're a fucking apocalypse wrapped in skin Swallow the silence At the hands of tyrants In this world of giants There's no use keeping secrets from the sirens So... Roll the bones And get a bottle for the lightning Its frightening to see a corpse biting a titan when the writing On the wall is so enticing You keep burning bridges, adding fuel to the fire Did you really not see your head on that pyre? Did you really not see your head on that pyre? Swallow the silence At the hands of tyrants In this world of giants There's no use keeping secrets from the sirens Swallow the silence choke on the virus At the hands of tyrants suffering is timeless In this world of giants part of no alliance There's no use keeping secrets from the sirens No No fucking use

Its eyes set on the moon above Wrap the skull in chains Hand them to the faceless angels And tell them all his name The sentinels, the seraphim They turn their heads as one Under the watch of eyeless stares Their enemies undone The sanctity of sacrifice Is carved into my bones Keep me safe in steel wings As my world turns to stone Chain bearer Faceless angel They take the weight of agony in flight they tend the injured Wrapping them in loving wings they Give their breath to cinders The sentinels, the seraphim They carry us in flight The beating of their hallowed wings Gives us the strength to fight Coalesce and coruscate Light of judgement falls Keep me safe in steel wings As my night turns to dawn

She's mystified and misty eyed As we reach another eventide With nothing ventured and nothing gained Dusk will make me whole again But the hole I've left Inside her chest Ignores the passing days Give me another day to swallow the week Clockwork teeth Chronophage The turning of the gears Turn seconds to years So don't bite the hand that nears The numbers on my face Can be mispronounced So don't bite the hand that counts You peer through the locks See the heads on the blocks Necks only half severed I turn back the clocks put them back in their stocks And once again fail the beheaded From solstice to equinox I realign the paradox And carve unto the stones my endeavour As a plague is to crops The sea is to rocks And there's nothing that this storm has not weathered You chimed in but the bells already tolled I've been keeping a tight grip But now my hands ready to fold I wove my soul into this tapestry To set us free But the thread you're hangin' on by Unravels the rest of me The numbers on my face Can be mispronounced So don't bite the hand that counts
