Empyrean

Frantic cognizance Slipping into spiraling descent Dragged down and defeated by cold reality Aimless and deprived of all you wanted to believe The path you've long followed has led you astray The years have left you lifeless But the yearning remains So let the days you've lost Focus and align your thoughts To rediscover what you've buried under Resolution born in suffering Let the embers of your past Shinе through the darkness ahead Violеnt, vacant dreams Begging for release From the decomposing threads of sanity And you could slip away In a death of one thousand days Letting go of the waning hope of your awakening Violent, vacant dreams Begging for release From the decomposing threads of sanity So let the days you've lost Focus and align your thoughts To rediscover what you've buried under There is no greater cause In dying for the light you've lost Rediscover the heart you've buried under

Drained of all volition I begin to separate Time smothers every plea To transcend through the suffering I've lived inside a dream Sinking slowly Fragments of my mind Keep overflowing Blinded by their deception Broken, disconnected Effigies of my destruction Swiftly carry me into the nothing Time unending I'm somehow still alive Eyes wide open Beneath the fading light Frozen forever No chance to say goodbye I am lost in the eventide Beholding my true design Encoded language in the light Locked within an empty world Of black oblivion Desperate to break this endless cycle Never forgetting That I've lived inside a dream Sinking slowly Fragments of my mind Keep overflowing Time unending I'm somehow still alive Eyes wide open Beneath the fading light Frozen forever No chance to say goodbye I am lost in the eventide

Sacred new world deconsecrated Human compulsion to devolve into chaos Far from where we originated The true descendants of defilers of our home Novel malignancy Of tranquility Disrupted beyond repair by our arrival Unstable ground Starts to break down Tainting this paradise we've found Ancient human invasion brought us here No escaping the damage done A hallowed space, overrun Utopia ravaged by our influence Bring it all to an end Forcing the death of all innocence No escaping the damage done Unstable ground Starts to break down Tainting this paradise we've found New blood raining down Staining this paradise we've found

Untie the twisting lines in my head My nature will nurture every impulse arising from the depths Of my internal ambivalence Duality of my intent Back and forth, we swing again The enemy of my ascent Lies within my consciousness Intrinsic shadow under my skin Focus swept in by the undertow Torn in two, twin sides of a severed soul Fighting through disorder and chaos Cycles of weakness and control Symbiotic pull of opposite forces at rest Recurring process of rebalancing Navigating and calibrating This inner dichotomy Fracturing mind of the mortal mеntality Colliding forces of creation Through dissonant unification A paradox assimilated Subconscious animal in my hеad Voice of temptation, apathy and instinctual thirst Desire turning into regret Duality of my intent Back and forth, we swing again The enemy of my ascent Lies within my consciousness It lies within

Perpetuated system outside our control Built to uphold our reign Its methodical pace is now self-sustained Soulless, hulking mechanical beast Driven by impulse, desire and greed Voracious organism Enslaving and devouring our young Human progress Advancing the process of mindless machines Creating the new ruler supreme A culture desensitized Violent visions entering your mind Adapting yourself to survive Its computations compel you to obey Industrial motion of optimal escape Hеlpless to reversе this unstoppable decay Of individuality Feeding with its roots delving deep Vines from the seed we have planted Now constricting and killing us faster The child of our creation Our mindless omnipotent master Personified horror, alive Corrupting parasite Blind and depraved Unholy savior Free will erased Creator becomes the enslaved Colossal design, destined to subjugate Conquer and override The sequence of mortal lives Degeneration of all mankind

The bitter taste of clarity Still lingering in the shadows It's in our veins to contemplate The setting suns of tomorrow The last artifacts of our existence On display for all to witness Beyond eternity, we will convey The impermanence of our symbolic dreams Of salvation By transcending the time we've borrowed Our last echoes remain Already dead and gone We're nothing at all Forever flowing on We'rе nothing at all A messenger is all you arе Bleeding your soul onto the canvas A purpose served, you've found your worth Capturing life as it passes You will eclipse yourself Behind the shroud of a monolithic memory The great epiphany Flowing on Flowing without you Flowing on With or without you Flowing on through time Our vessels come undone Lost until we find We're back where we've begun Flowing onward, becoming Lost reflections of nothing Flowing on through time Our vessels come undone Lost until we find We're back where we've begun
