Skull

No sight to the journeys end A place where the weaker dread Condemned to remain forever Across earth oblivion spreads Crushing the world we built With power and focused will The death we created detached Our reach had exceeded our grasp Fight to be set free From suffocating needs Witness to new ways Layers under earth Discovering our worth Our eternal maze Through the underworld A whisper of life all that's left The forces have shown contempt Pushed by human nature The sword hangs above our head Dethroned are the ways of old Defied and left breathing cold Sentenced to covered chambers We rebuild our broken world Living in ruins Buried beneath Haunting and Timeless Embrace our release Under the world We seek Sensing the deep Back to the dawn Further we crawl Under the world

Skull awaits your soul Taken to the edges of the void To see a universe in great division The living and the dead are now one Wrapped up in a state of pure transition Searching for the answers never told Circling around the unvoiced questions In the grip of panic pulled apart Grasping at the fabric of existence Dark words are spoken as the fear creates itself Weaker minds are dreaming of deceit Looking much deeper as we pass into the abyss We wonder how we still exist Skull awaits your soul Distant is the line not to be crossed Holding back the hidden world invaders Destiny has cast an eye on you Knowing what you see invites delusion Once you see the light no turning back Power of a thousand suns compelling Can you feel them turning in your mind That’s the guilt of all the damage rising Step to the edge begin your trial Regret descends to take you to exile Inbetween awake and dream not knowing where to turn Seek the place of demons where they show you what they yearn Hypnotised by images of every path you take All your sense struggle with the dark side now awake Skull Pulled in deeper swallowed whole Skull Demons hunger for your soul Heading for the gate created by immortal minds Twisting through unending space and time Searching for a way to free the crushing weight of doubt Many take the easiest way out Take the easy way out Skull awaits yours soul Soon to reach the point of no return They will not relent until they break you Keep your mind on what’s laid out ahead Longing for redemption far overdue Try to get beneath fierce beliefs Take a leap of faith and find your meaning Great is the decision that you face Once you see the purpose of your making Dark words are spoken as the fear creates itself Weaker minds are dreaming of deceit Looking much deeper as we pass into the abyss We wonder how we still exist Skull awaits your soul Skull awaits your soul

Welcome to judgment The trial under the sun Night never descends The eye sees all that’s done Judgement New fear Froze beneath the surface there to stay Confined The genesis of multiplied decay We can be born again Eyes open wide Now crawl outside Honesty in what you need Just bare your soul All should rise in the naked sun Always in absence You creep under the ground World within a world And moving ever down Divided New fear Froze beneath the surface there to stay Confined The genesis of multiplied decay We can born again Eyes open wide Now crawl outside Honesty in what you need Just bare your soul All should rise in the naked sun Distant are the secrets Hidden from the gaining light In myth we see the motive So enchanting upon sight Guilty as faithful To ways you’ve always known Time never stands Still enough to overthrow We can be born again Eyes open wide Now crawl outside Honesty in what you need Just bare your soul All should rise in the naked sun

Ancient deceiver Creeping forward through the land Age old curse of centuries Moving silently across the sand Once seen as immortal Evidently as it stalks Far too long the people wait For the blood red sun As thousands warned Bring me the head The scriptures say it will be so Bring me the head of the demon Daylight a memory Only whispered to return Shades of death Have come to life To remind us power must be earned Faithful the keepers And the ritual they believed By the dawn the demon comes And they see the child for which they grieve Bring me the head The scriptures say it will be so Bring me the head of the demon Bring me the head We pray beneath the blood red sun Bring me the head of the demon Feeding on faith of the helpless Leaving them more than the hand of fate Bring me the head The scriptures say it will be so Bring me the head of the demon Bring me the head We pray beneath the blood red sun Bring me the head of the demon Bring me the head The head of the demon

Dark the days begin to grow With nothing more to show A sense I’ve lost my grip on all I know Where I hide begs me to stay This temple’s in decay What more to see? The tomb calls to me When alone I know my place All suffering erased I turned my back on every chance I waste When belief is stripped away Only fear remains What more to see? The tomb calls to me It screams for me Where will I go twisted in need Deep is the thorn that poisons me Voices remain honest and clear Freedom they whisper as sorrow nears Imprisoned in a cage I cannot feel Elusive is the change I need to heal Shadows gather round Bringing misery unbound And an offering of more beyond the mortal sound Struggling against what drags me down Another day is swallowed by the ground Looking past the pain In the moment I remain Should I answer when the tomb is calling out my name Where will I go twisted in need Deep is the thorn that poisons me Voices remain honest and clear Freedom they whisper as sorrows nears

These visions are haunting me I’ve nowhere left to run I carry the weight of guilt For the things I’ve done Temptation led me down I found the pages cold Aloud I read the words Summoning spirits old Old I severed the ties that bind The afterlife has claimed Forgive me for what I’ve done With madness face to face I read the blood scrolls Time has left behind I wanted to bring them back But to consequence I’m blind Speak the words of the dead Speak with me Words of the dead Sorrow to be Words of the dead Delusion made real Words of the the dead Speak now and reveal Those words are burned onto my cruel tongue Intention, well meaning, has been undone Fierce warnings are turning inside my head As we chant the fateful words of the dead Summoned from the bound writings Summoned awaken from slumber Join us like others before you Join us one by one we will take you Words of the dead Speak with me Words of the dead Sorrow to be Words of the dead Delusion made real Words of the the dead Speak now and reveal Words of the dead Words of the dead Words of the dead

Born a curse somewhere out of sight Lost beings have cared for my needs Years have passed me by Another being has never been seen Labyrinth, undying solitude I pictured myself set free I made a vow to one day rise From the broken existence I lead I am the outsider Outsider Escape and behold the day Outsider Unswayed by what the world will say Breaking through layers of my cell Upon the hallowed ground I now stand I meet the glare of the beast But the horror makes no demand Terror stares in its form, unknown In the golden arch it’s framed Beckoning I touch the glass The terror and I are the same I am the outsider Outsider Escape and behold the day Outsider Unswayed by what the world will say Outsider Forward into the wild domain Outsider Unknown forever to remain Frantic I crave the light For I know not who I am Voiceless I can’t relate To the ones I once belonged I am the outsider Outsider Escape and behold the day outsider Unswayed by what the world will say

Can you take what I want to give A gift that crawls with life anew There’s much more that I see in you Than an open door to walk through Close your eyes Surrender I breathe your sighs Consuming you Strong release Controlling thoughts Take my time In breaking you When you dream its me that you fear You already know what you become When you wake it’s me that you see You already know What you’ve become is mine In the view of those watching eyes Trust not a thing in what they see In the dark perception can shift You’ll see me as I’m meant to be Close your eyes Surrender I breathe your sighs Consuming you Strong release Controlling thoughts Take my time In breaking you When you dream its me that you fear You already know what you become When you wake it’s me that you see You already know What you’ve become is mine Mine Mine What you've become is mine

Take what’s pure Remain secure Supreme behind glory they hide Give no more Enslaved ignored What we once believed in is dead and gone New truths Immortal disguise New truths Serve only old lies Life laid down In chains and bound A victim of darkening times Speech confused Freedom refused Behold every word ringing false to all New truths Immortal disguise New truths Serve only old lies Wealth all they seek Freedom taken while we sleep Trapped underneath Reason staying unrevealed Hell living free Injustice for what might have been Change in our grasp Becoming what they cannot see How do we see what waits ahead To their ambition we’re blind How do we trust an empires fate to those in who conviction expired New truths Immortal disguise New truths Serve only old lies Break the game Restart, reclaim The liberties taken revealed One and all Corrupt control The boundaries are set to consume The soul
