Swallowing the World
The greatest fear of all To forget who you are Memories deceive you Memories make you Dwell between Desire and loss When will be the last time? I know how this story ends The bells will toll for me Sound them! How many hours did I spend Looking up the sky? When time is gone It will never come back. When will be the last time? I know how this story ends The bells will toll for me Sound them! To while away existence Off into nothingness When reality hits you All you do is stare down into darkness When will be the last time? I know how this story ends The bells will toll for me Sound them!

Leave your fate to chance, endless dance Turn it to a night, then step into the light When you think you have no more to kill A truth comes, that no other will Repeating patterns no one will survive A way of life you need to revive With fortunes spent, you have no other way No matter what, this is what they say No other need You are lesser breed On which we feed You've got blood to bleed Reeling from deceit, useless pig The treacherous flight was brought into Light When you thought you had no more to lose A truth comes, that no one would choose Leave your fate to chance, endless dance Turn it to a night, then step into the light With fortunes spent, you have no other way No matter what, this is what they say No other need You are lesser breed On which we feed You've got blood to bleed

A truth concealed in lies Frail open eyes Hellbound heart Mental discharge The air of obsession Reek of desperation Exist just to condone Your sorrow is your own Beauty of fleeing forlorn Remaining forever torn Capitulate to unwind Trapped inside your mind Fall to your knees Do as I please Floating on fields Of everlasting needs In search of serenity Raise your glass for eternity To have to choose between One's own creation or someone else's To think there is a higher purpose And yet, believe you have a choice Only in the grip of mental torment One knows the only true self In search of serenity Raise your glass for eternity In search of serenity Raise your glass for eternity

The view from here is frightening The walls are closing in on past dreams, All obsolete Within an unnamed terror confined The walls are closing in on past dreams, All obsolete When the window reveals itself The walls are closing in on past dreams, All obsolete The power of choice now lost The walls are closing in on past dreams, All obsolete No way out Nowhere to escape Hail, fires of frustration Chances slip away Shadowed by veils Riding my demons Ride! I will venture towards The outermost skerries And never return To what once was Hail, fires of frustration Chances slip away Shadowed by veils Riding my demons Ride!

The endless night, wide awake Flashing memories of light A vortex of bridges and barriers On a journey unto the brim Join the joyless simulation Obverse your liberation Join the shallow manifestation Within the cenotaph of dreams Cenotaph of dreams Finding solace in the solemn A murmur from beyond Join the joyless simulation Obverse your liberation Join the shallow manifestation Within the cenotaph of dreams Our souls are severed An illusion of control Our souls are severed Obliged to settle the score Our souls are severed Swirling to the core Our souls are severed souls Face first into obliteration Severed souls! Within the cenotaph of dreams Cenotaph of dreams

Under false pretense A stranger enters the room Conveying the illusory hope The glimpses of who he really is See through lies His true disguise Distorted faces appear Forgetting all you hold dear Run from your shadow And make it grow tall He wears it well A masque out of the night Manifest dominion Over life and death He wears it well A masque out of the night Manifest dominion Over life and death He wears it well A masque out of the night Manifest dominion Over life and death

Obscure are the voices of reason A dumbing-down, senseless treason Silenced by ignorance Indulging indifference Condemning life into mere Fractions of its true potential Spiralling downwards The illusive monument of failure Condemning life into mere Fractions of its true potential Reason erodes all the while life succumbs Reason erodes all the while you are Swallowing the world Manipulating those who fail to see And realize their own autonomy Condemning life into mere Fractions of its true potential Reason erodes all the while life succumbs Reason erodes all the while you are Swallowing the world
