But now to ending lies my soulFalling from the blackness I feel the blood drip from my Head beside me - I see a pool of Desperation fading And I’m not waking from A passing reason Why I could not just kill myself This transcendent being A fake to king and eyes Fourteen years of breathing The Lies of suffered consequence Take this fractured, freezing Despondent heart of empty solder A treasured message A failing soul of dust and water Killing rest won’t testify Bleeding thoughts can’t justify Wandering through my sullen dreams From where the dark and demons lie This fitting end is listless Another freedom left to charge Everything we know is lost Redefine my meaning And separate my faults Fortify and separate My limitless regrets Reconciliation To claim what’s never been Next to none we walk aside Until we never spend Another day in hell Recreate the message To bring the bleeding home Redesign the picturesque Betrayal of my soul Capture second hungers And bring them to the sun Remorse and sorrow break the bars Til vacant dreams are lost Killing rest won’t testify Bleeding thoughts can’t justify Wandering through my sullen dreams From where the dark and demons lie This fitting end is listless Another freedom left to charge But now to ending lies my soul Everything we know Everything we know Everything we know Is fucking lost

Deep in the forest at twilight A new kind of meaning is born Sharpen your senses and arrows A Kill to be rightfully worn Shadows are cast in the moonlight And silence befalls on the land Desperate for blood and the sacrifice To snatch life from All-Mother’s hand Wander and drift through the branches and leaves Tread like the wind blowing flowers and trees Hunt your demise with the blade as your eyes Bleed your disdain while serenity dies No footsteps signal the coming of Death Freezing my body and chilling my breath Head to the north with the stars as his guide Seeking a point where the spirits collide I will return to the mountain To take what is mine I will reclaim my vacant throne With fire divine My eye sees a flickering shadow And movement beyond in the brush Slowly approaching my prey and his life To end by my swift vacant touch This blade of mine and this fire divine Will test me until I ascend Battered and beaten and fallen to ashes I break and my spirit will bend The moonlight is lighting my pathway And sends for a beckoning cry The reaper has come to collect once again And treasure the life that will die. I have returned to the mountain To claim what is mine I will reclaim my vacant throne With fire divine This final chapter of a life Still broken and shattered Will find a meaning cloaked in darkness To chase what has mattered. Beckoning to darkness My prey now abides Quickly transcending With a stroke of my impudence It dies. The river of life from the neck wound Flows steadily over my hands And covers me now in the essence Like oceans wash over the sands. Seeking my solace in crimson remorse Negligence hiding a revenant source Blessings through bleeding and vengeance entwine Fleeting the love of the chase be to thine. I am silent as the whispering breeze I now do know that which lives in the trees Vacant my heart is to burn for you well Set free my spirit from this earthly hell. I have returned to the mountain To claim what is mine I have reclaimed my vacant throne With fire divine This final chapter of a life Still broken and shattered Will find a meaning cloaked in darkness To chase what has mattered.

Seven miles from nowhere A young boy pardoned to the mountains Feelings left abandoned Now slaved and captive to the cultists Religious fingerprinting Decodes humanity within him Isolates in silence Prepare the life to be protected - I know not what evil I have done to earn this sorrow I am lost in my own mind Be present at our table Lord, my spirit’s beaten, black, and scorned Again - Hear me father for I’m desperate Be my star; light the way Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of Another chance, another day, another brave mistake - Walk the halls of ‘normal’ Segregated by the living Cast aside from life and death Seeking solace in my shadows - Something’s missing from this place in turn to feed this hunger Something’s never gone away Something’s wrong with me in ways that no one’s understanding I’m all alone Hear me father for I’m desperate Be my star; light the way Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of Another chance to make me stay - Now I hear that those in like are slowly dying Alone and cold and faded flames The friends I never knew were still called home in sorrow So now, departed, in all my pain, in all my love I sing this song for you - Another vacant soul departed Another candle lit today Another victim claimed by hills of mourning left unbounded Let us murder, let us pray. Hear me father for I’m desperate Be my star; light the way Singing softly words to songs and hopes I only dream of Another chance, another day, another brave mistake

I’ve followed the path of my Exile And I’ve left my whole world behind Followed the road of descendants And traveled the world over time No ties to be drawn by my morals No lives to be broken by mine I’m bound by my word and the consequences Of walking my pathway divine I am A shadow Passing through worlds as a ghost I am A nomad Covered by mud and by dust Freedom tonight is my blessing and curse I wander this place all alone Sacrifice all to be free of the world This pain in my heart never shown All I have owned is carried by hand I walk with my elders of old No family or loved ones to warm me at night No hearthstone to break from the cold Tonight I travel Where wind at my back pushes on Tonight I strengthen Letting my weaknesses go Freedom tonight is my blessing and curse I wander this place all alone Sacrifice all to be free of the world This pain in my heart never shown At nightfall the eyes of the cosmos will shine I lie under stars and behold A life without tether to worldly possessions But riches I still have and hold. I am alive Behind me I follow the path of my ancestors Walking to nowhere tonight So shall I die Never to know the value of oneness Or know where my head to lie? Freedom tonight is my blessing and curse I wander this place all alone Sacrifice all to be free of the world This pain in my heart never shown At nightfall the eyes of the cosmos will shine I lie under stars and behold A life without tether to worldly possessions But riches I still have and hold.

GO Baited Breath Melting Flesh Raining Flame Awaiting Death I cannot begin to describe the horrors that I have seen Contemplating decisions made and what life might have been Break in the silence, Beginning the violence Falling to the ground Looking to the sky To save me from this Apocalypse Now Human Beings Ripped Apart Asunder Become Numb There is no escape from The plague in my head Visions of loss; voices of the dead Endless Days, Sleepless nights Left alone with all of my Memories That Darken the corners of my mind Descending deeper into Madness One Day closer to the End Fading from this conscious hell I Try to bury them deep in my mind Pushing them down to the depths of my soul Haunting visions from another time Demons that won’t let me go I can still remember all of their faces The look in their eyes when they died The sound of their voices are still haunting me There is no way to escape these Memories that darken the corners of my mind Descending deeper into Madness One day closer to the ending Fading from this conscious hell

Darkness clouds my eyes tonight while coldness drowns my fears Softly spoken whispered words while blinded by my tears Years of sorrow, wasted nothings fall into the black I’ve gone too far and now it’s clear I’m never turning back Can’t recall the last I saw but now it’s faded gray Vanities begin to fade in silence waste away Before me stands the shroud of Death and with an outstretched hand He beckons me to leave behind my memories and land. I have become the cold and lost Sleep now my spirit; fade to dust The mystery of life is lifted The path of death to all is gifted. Chorus: We are forever cursed to guide into the fray We are the chosen ones to signal death of day For now and ever more this wretched sin abides To follow mourning path until the daylight dies We are forever cursed to guide into the fray We are the chosen ones to signal death of day For now and ever more this wretched sin abides To follow mourning path until the daylight dies Until the daylight dies
