LYRICS: 01 In Darkness 0:00 "Look in my eyes I’ve welcomed death And in my heart there’s nothing left I drag my corpse up every day Till I completely fade away It’s darkest ‘fore the dawn In darkness Can’t seem to light the flame within Madness crept in my sickly grin Until the vultures pick what’s left I’ll keep on living through my death And given all I’d rather live Not giving up but giving in I heard the voices in the dark You dream of flame, so find the spark" ~ 02 Grim By Reputation 03:41 "Passed through death’s valley and saw lost souls everywhere Found fleeting comfort in all of their lost glares Flowed with the Styx as I emerged from my lair I’m here for culling and I’m out for blood I feel it creeping through the fuzz And you see nothing as you gaze into my soul And I feel nothing as my instincts take contro I feel your strength escape as my blade meets your bone I judge no one as I carry out my deeds I spare no one no matter how they plead Try and run but there is no escape from me I’ll come crawling Out your mind Sleep is calling One last time Hear me whisper Familiar voice Give in to me while you can Before you don’t have a choice" ~ 03 Mara 06:50 "Myriads of empty choices Myriads of paths to choose Myriads of introspections Myriads of things to lose Myriads becoming faithless Myriads proclaiming truths Myriads of pointless searches Myriads of blinded fools I’ve become so blind I’ve wasted my whole life Time I can’t unspend Searching yet again I’ve become so blind" ~ 04 Shamsara 11:53 "I’m out of mind, out of line And severely out of touch. I’m on the fringe of a binge And I’m feeling all used up Can’t decide if I’m fine Or I’m pining for a crutch. Medicate or sedate I don’t think I’m asking much I’m on the edge and I’m out of my mind I’m on the edge and I’m out of my mind I need to leave, can’t hardly breathe I think I’m wound up way too tight I barely sleep, I never eat And every day is fight or flight Can’t stand my dreams, they show me scenes They get more vivid every night Stuck in my skull, my senses dull This weight is greater than my might The call profound Always yearning for what can’t be found These thoughts compound Can’t save myself, there’s no one else around" ~ 05 Stasis 14:21 -instrumental - ~ 06 Rebirth 15:41 "Stare into your crystal ball. The future has been foretold If time is a circle What are you running from? If time is a circle It’s all you’ve ever done All your life you feigned control But you can’t break cycles Tighten your grip The bubble’s bursting You once were whole But now you’re searching Focus your sight What’s in your vision Construct the confines of your prison" ~ 07 Mage Duel 19:35 -instrumental - ~ 08 Indecision 22:45 "Please tell me how do you decide? Is it with heart or with your mind? Seems no decision turns out right What’s out of mind is out of sight So tell me what can you achieve When all you have are empty dreams? I gave it all and I still failed And my remains remain unveiled How long will I have to mourn?" ~ 09 Ouroboros 27:42 "Can you see beyond your vision? Yapping dogmatist religions Second guessing all decisions Do you dream of something Crystalline? Do you regret the apple serpentine? Will you know it when it finds you? Feeling stricken, this is all new Will you see it? Will it blind you? Feels like floating inches off the ground Are you so lost that you can't be found? (Woe is me) Will you suffer to keep suffering? Can you find when you're searching? How many habits need more nursing? Mind's racing, stomach lurching Will you confuse the finger for the Moon? Or will you linger in your shroud of gloom? Will you cave into temptation? Ephemeral comfort or elation? Stuck in cyclical relations Can you break the bonds that can't be seen? Or will you suffer to keep suffering?"
