Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal

Somewhere in time, we welcomed in the fall But in the distance we can see shining clear, our demise to be We're not listening to ourselves You ask these questions in subconsciousness, but still We choose to deny the flood surrounding nations Wake up! The water is rising now! We are the universe inside of you waiting patiently All the world by a thread? Distance the lies that are sold They will not justify the pain They will not live to see the day

Caught in the mundane The day to day, it traps us so tightly Escape the cubicle cell enslaving time of the resident slave Just another clone stamped in the system who cannot think for yourself OH SHIT! It's raining pens and staples on the prisoner Questioning our real purpose Bury your sense of worth Beneath the desk you call your home Consistent overflowing with no way out Now you're always entertaining, thoughts meandering Ambition slowly rolling, steady, downhill A puppet never disobeying the strings attached from hands to toes From head to fucking toes And it's the thrill of life that enables us to flow Locked in the spirit's line, souls entwine, to journey on as one! Yes, it's the fear of all that keeps us on the road Locked in the spirit's line, souls entwined, to journey on as one Behold our creation... A walking dead Step back and realize what you are fed Escape the mortal mentality It's a lesson that can't be ignored for long My destination, it lies within the song Blistering reality Imagining a world in limelight Never will it be out of my reach I've heard the lies a million times, but did it ever steal from my soul? Bleeding from the lungs, I see, a life complete above the darkest hole And it's the thrill of life that enables us to flow Locked in the spirit's line, souls entwined, to journey on as one A world so masochistic Envious, broken system The infant braving infested waters, collecting prominent rage Tormented reality, for I leave it

Connect these signs The evidence will lend itself to be more than just a lie And I'm not asking much Just a simple request that you think for yourself Once in this goddamn life Forward, the violent state of mind Obsolete and taking the back seat Reach for the stars, control the fucking skies Can you silence your opinion of what I'm about to say? Go on and let the mind perceive Neglect the sense of ignorance to alter life Embrace the beauty from inside We are one We are the strength of the universe at heart Construct the light Implore of the energy Bestow the understanding Follow Follow the scent of the sinners as the body of our mind disintegrates Forever is the course upon your plate Don't ever ask if we consume the blood and hate Repeat this life if you will But don't count on forgiveness from the filthy swine Here we stand at the threshold of paradise Stealing a new world I never would have thought our place in history would come to this, but we are infinite We are one Neglect the sense of ignorance to alter life Embrace the beauty from inside We are one We are the strength of the universe at heart Construct the light Implore of the energy Bestow the understanding We are one We are the strength of the universe at heart Construct the light Implore of the energy Bestow the understanding

A race suppressed by oath and seal The ancient tribe, it groans This cold life released us from the physical plane of the human race Closing the lines Pave the way, to destroy the light of their day Disgusting, thriving on the sun Teeth they grind, waiting for the planets to align Take back what belongs to the dominant being Congregate spilling blood We are the dark, that feed upon the living in solid shadow Conquer the Earth, and bleed the carbon masses in solid shadows As the cold wind blows, feel the ice grazing over skin On a chilled horizon, rides the destiny of our poor and foolish kind From the sun into the deep we go Leaving all known from above this lightless world The humans sleep, while violently commanding "darkness flee the dream" Foreboding waves, unclear Crash on seas, drawing night! We are the dark, that feed upon the living in solid shadow Conquer the Earth, and bleed the carbon masses in solid shadows Dimensions collide, while the creature resides inside of us all! (Inside of us all!) There's something evil pulsing to life that has been repressed by civil tides! Open the barrier lines! A race suppressed by their repeal! The ancient tribe still groans! Emotion receding as the beast grows We boast the dark, unholy, presence abound! We are the darkness around!

So many reasons why one should never Entertain the taste of the red A cry for a life of innocence escapes her (So repent!) And go running back to kill me 'cause it might make it easier (It’s the scent!) Of fear that keeps you chained down to the ritual, adhere You’re a slave born into a dark world of deceit (of deceit!) A slave that’s longing for a retreat Learning to love a disaster Direct your soul in the essence of hate To draw the blood of the master, flee The stains on your wings now carry the free Selfishly embrace the glory vengeance brings Hold courage tight Illuminate the night (Punishment! Punishment!) An eye for an eye, a knife to the wicked Just the sight of the organization burning to ashes Could put a smile on her face (her face!) The torture ends within this wretched place So please forgive what I’ve become Learning to love a disaster Direct your soul in the essence of hate To draw the blood of the master, flee The stains on your wings now carry the Golden seal extracted from the omen’s life One steady hand in victory Darkness weeps as love enfolds under a pure and crescent night Born from the eye into the light So many reasons why one should never Entertain the taste of scarlet (scarlet) Scarlet So many reasons why one should never Entertain the taste of the red A cry for a life of innocence escapes her Learning to love a disaster Direct your soul in the essence of hate To draw the blood of the master, flee The stains on your wings now carry the free

Staring up at the ceiling While I'm falling into the flames Something's gnawing my shoulder and scarring This moment into my memory frame The fathers speak, we might as well be castrated (castrated) Oh, it feels so good from where I stand The one abstaining from all human needs and pleasantries Is the one I never will be Collecting through the shapes A sense of power filling me And I will never let go I'm never letting go Bending will of man in the hearts of the gods Shut the fuck up and let us live a life we can call our own Leave me alone! If you love the guilt, then let it die A life kept so clean Will measure the price of misery If you love the guilt, then let it die In silence we will remain If you love the guilt, then let it die A life kept so clean Will measure the price of misery But manifest a taste of paradise, and surely you'll see The sinner side of me

Forty days and nights I've spent alone The shadow hungry angel inside of me grows cold Bloodshed on my mind A slave to these walls Get away from the life sucking call Set me free Grant a pardon for the meddling soul The lives of the fallen deserve to take the spirits toll Within the asylum of a guilty fucking conscience I feel the presence of insanity creep up my spine -- to lock me away in this hell Death has made its abode on my shoulders It clings to the palm of my hand eternally Within ascendance I shall relive the slaughtering You'll sing to the dirt, praying for the break of dawn (I can't fucking take it) Night will bring the presence of a ravenous demon setting out to terrify Soul destructive like imploding stars There's nothing but the darkness to guide the way There's nothing left but the darkness to guide the way Scald the inside Fold the endless search within you Scale the insight, for the day it lies before us Somewhere in time... Off in the distance we can see, shining clear, our demise to be We're not listening to ourselves Somewhere in time, we welcomed in the midnight leave But in the distance we can see, shining clear, our demise to be We're not listening to ourselves

Heart stop, and carry on through the light Can you tell me what I'm missing? This sleep sought after twists the dagger in the question of what lies within So heart stop beating on through the night Give an escape for the blinded Although I follow, it seems to pass the time I wait with certainly inside this theory I hear them speak with tongues of fire, while setting the heavens ablaze Live a life high up on a wire of fear It's not for me to say what you need to believe, and I won't speak until it's over It's not for anyone to say what it is to perceive Steadfast, wallow in the punishment Take pleasure in the sight False cries Corrupting the soul of a saint and with knowledge of gods we relate Watch from afar, dodging religious scars Disregard my existence? Don't ignore me! Don't ignore me! Disregard my existence? Don't ignore me! Speak of forgiveness as sin? I bathe in your hatred so putrid and crimson Never an ounce, never an inkling of repentance do I give Throw it away Piss on the demons and their hypocrisy It's not for me to say what you need to believe, and I won't speak until it's over It's not for anyone to say what it is to perceive Steadfast, wallow in the punishment Take pleasure in the sight

There's a vessel and it's sinking at sea An apparition that's beckoning me As the cold, dark night brings on the sweat, I slowly drift away Stuck down at the bottom of the orange cylindrical state of mind What are we running from? There's a distant sound of a melody Release me from this plane A life to live; a sedative under the skin Bury it, carry the cure Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the debt we sow Step out from the moonlight like it's a game we play The checkerboard is tainted Drops of red will lead the way Black are their lies, gold are the tongues of the glorified Command disease of the body and mind Stuck down at the bottom of the orange cylindrical state of mind What are we running from? There's a distant sound of a melody Release me from this plane A life to live; a sedative under the skin Bury it, carry the cure Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the debt we sow A life to live; a sedative A life to live; a sedative under the skin Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the debt we sow Collecting sanity Simply ready for the life that awaits your lead There's a distant sound of a melody, and I won't leave this place

Shut out from this ancient truth We are blind inside Migrant souls from a distant world? There's an absence of knowledge Reaching out for the pulse of our own Now the time has come, awaken the prophecy Buried underneath the veil of illusion Given a life of freedom, only to neglect what we should feel Tortured by negative consciousness Feeling our disorder hit the froggin' wall Escape some way... Awake! Hallucinating desire Chase the obscene Travel these wonders far beyond Burn down the walls that bind you to this cage, or be detained For once, a glimpse at freedom would feel divine A break from this feeble old mind My fucking mind! Negative scenes are just the projection of our own dark fear Playing the victim is not what will bring us back to salvation Back to reality What is it they all seek? Be it the wealth or the throne? Live your life as a drone! Reaching out for the pulse of our own So high... above what they all seem to know, what they know Subliminal signs; a message that's unrefined Soaring above what they all seem to know Someday replay the purgatory life you lead Taste the obscene Travel these wonders far beyond Burn down the walls that bind you to this cage, or be detained (Travel these wonders far beyond, travel these, travel these) Chase the obscene Travel these wonders far beyond

It starts as one festering feeling The kind that cuts from the flesh down to the soul No way (no way) to make amends for the time behind the door Street lights feed lies straight to the mind of the wishful wanderer How could he give up? No second chances to say goodbye! Wrapped in this cold nostalgic energy From cries of the ones who are buried Ascend beyond Life is ruthless and shot full of pain It lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not coming back again I will miss you my friend! Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls that with a love that will stain the darkest of nights! You left to join with the stars and I cannot shake this off my chest In death we grieve until all have transcended from this realm In time we will meet again Suddenly I can feel the connection between dimension ties Open gut on the floor Trembling down to the core What is this? It's been a long ride without you I'm lost inside my own world There's not a single day where I've feigned the acceptance, but it's a somber stroll down this road that we call life The silence still is crawling out of my sedated sight How can I be free? Wrapped in this cold nostalgic energy From cries of the ones who are buried Ascend beyond Life is ruthless and chock full of pain It lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not coming back again I will miss you my friend! Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls that with a love that will stain the darkest of nights! Left to journey alone, but I can find my way back home

As I slip away - thoughts rushing through me Angelic call or a demon that's calling my name? Enter the intrepid state Enter beyond what is seen to the spiritual stream of the vacant (Lost within one's name) Shot from the mind of the physical, leaving flesh behind Rejected by the holy gate I will not be directed The course of ancient power, it will follow, fall with me (Fucking grim and frostbitten) Dark and grim for a memory Measuring all the glory as it seemed Was it enough for eternity? (Eternity) Foolish schemes for a destiny lined with dreams All came crashing down on me What will become of the energy? Cast away, I feel the heavens slowly turning gray Colors seem to fade As the morning star surrounds the angels sing Ah Salvation, so far from unholy realms of the filth infestation Torture the life, dead bound in wretched ways Repent or revenge? (There's no pardon for a meddling soul) Somewhere in time we welcomed in the fall Now in the distance I can see shining clear, our demise to be We're not listening to ourselves
