The Way Forward

Godless on high, determine the fates Follow the paths of those gone before, Search through the wastes more misery in store What was in hand not yours anymore Shifting of sands infinity of time Bury the past lost in the present No hope for the dawn no rest for the night No quiet of mind the struggle inside Whispers and codes blowing the sands Godless on high determine the fates Tricking the mind a flash in the dark Silence descends black on the land Through the eyes of the crow Carrion awaits sun blackens your soul Burning out of eyes In this waste you'll find no home Whispers and codes blow through the sands

I watch you burn with deceit behind your tongue And collapse under the weight of what you’ve done Everything drifts away, you hear me now, I sink but will not drown Find a peace to reach beyond the rusted song Darkness fill my lungs “Destroy Everything” Give me anything Melt away my fears Set my world in stone All that we hold dear Everything dies alone Oh, I am your burden The grief from which you run Guest of gloom sleep in your tomb Some wars cannot be won Lie within lies Unstitch both my eyes Reach up towards the wall Climbing just to fall Wretch. I can’t save you Drown in the flames I am your burden The grief from which you run I hide in wreckage from wars which can’t be won

All things come from one and from one they come undone Once its whole the pieces are one to fall apart cannot be done A fire to fuse whats scattered away If not to find it must me made To meld whats whole harness the ashes of life Deconstruct oneself for shadows or light We all come from one the energy of life The dust we become change in ourselves

Task lies at hand problem unfolds Ways of the world lessons of old Breaking of backs fists in the air Challenge accepted in face of despair They say it’s the way they say its fate Lessons we learn too late Expanding your mind through failures we grow Deceptions abound life marches on Fall on your knees rise once again Challenge accepted in face of despair In pits we fall to step back and learn The story won’t end the fire will burn

Like a terror from above wings that open wide Every shred of light all evil no breath of life Darkness swallows every bit of light An unholy prayer to save us Slipping through the crushing grasp of the holy When kingdoms fall masses rise storm the wall Prophecies unforeseen now in the darkness take them all Mercy in suffering all I see

Your word is law but i'm not good at listening By the time you hear yourself we’ve all gone deaf To what you say Your religion disgusts me your tongue is of false truths I live like an animal in a cage to survive Everyday is amazement that i made it We've all gone deaf to that you say Your religion disgusts me Frustration day to day Struggle to get by Never had a better dance than on my own grave You can step in line to be the next to die

In an empty room only one voice echos Of what came before ghosts of all those gone A house made of stone built on a pile of sand what was built came down all was out on sand what bloomed in beauty lies in a heap of ruins Swimming against the undertow no choice but to drown A shadow standing taunting and mocking This was your life now it's your grief Takes you from beneath

Lift yourself Dark tunnels lead you down to what we cannot speak Truth is scattered faith removed Sew it together piece by piece/by piece Regress to the mean they mean they’ll never see That there was no dawn no end existing in between Words we understood Become a senseless mess Slip into the void Free from the duress Ask what good is good That ends in only stress Fight the fear invoked Until your dying breath Truths we understand that we cannot speak our minds Thaw your soul with endless emptiness Ask what good is good become a senseless mess Slip into the void ask what good is good Slip into the void free from duress

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Wrists bound tight long to flee be free these ties The brave will fall the presence haunts imprisoned souls Breath of men frozen in air rivers of blood Carry on with honor bear forth bear witness Candles burn reborn return Beyond the mist hidden in time Your candles burn ashes rain beyond Begotten tongues forgotten in darkness Smell of decay from hell we stay

Pitch black skies blood red dawns Dark spots in our hearts Blood on our hands see through your lies To survive in a world world created in mind Minds focused on one It exists all alone Only made to serve to serve oneself Done without all take no give Ruined this world shattered this dream Remove ones head death deserved Hurt was caused betrayal Would have been me could have been me Should have been me The coming of dawn the survival of night Given the chance to make things right Fight for myself no chance for those wronged This is the way forward
