Sanctuary

An Eternity spent now searching!
For my home, my Sanctuary!
Risen from the grave, still shackled to the gates!
I've become something much worse than a ghost!
I love the blatant symmetry lying parallel with prophecy manifesting obviously physically inbuilt reality forcing the vibrance out of my body leaving a bleak extremity for which there may be no remedy!
Tips from a gypsy, she said "man you're getting tipsy!
Hiding from reality, in your world of hypocrisy!" So I turn and face my enemy so they may kneel before me only to find them grasping to their last thread of life, pleading for me to let them live, even though that if
I did, they'd still just bleed out here like pigs!
Vae Victus! Suffering to the conquered!
Or let them rest as that's what I crave, their death is just a price to pay for both of us!
I scream and beg "forgiveness" but I fail to change!
I just stay focused, I know what I want, so I work to achieve what I see in my dreams! But last night I dreamt of a blade ripping through her throat from the back as it gleamed in dim light with no time to scream!
So tell me what you think that means!?
Please! Do so before I go back to sleep!
Between the seems I await, commutate until I seal my fate and elate!!!
If only this blood quenched my thirst in the same sense as water!
And so I must create Elation!

This moment is one I wish I could stay in forever! (Here with you underneath the storm!)
Harsh winds, a crackling sky!
Strong rain pours so I don't see any of your tears! (Still I know they are there!) "Apologies my dear but now it is time we part! You know full well that if we don't split up we'll be caught!"
"We've come too far to fail this time and so my love this is goodbye!
You go left and I'll take right! Avoid the south, we'll meet on the eastern coast!"
I've been hiking through these mountains for days since our departure I've fought off many a wild beast and found my nutrients in roots, berries, and springs!
These nights alone have been cold but I've fashioned some pelts for warmth!
TOMORROW IS ALWAYS A FRESH START!
Waking with the sunrise everyday for months, sleeping under the stars, dreaming of a better future for myself and my lover!
Traveling many miles daily, always battling the weather!
Either constantly hiding or escaping a plethora of different parties!
Foremost the Royal Guard but also the Queen's mercenaries!
I've been hiking through these mountains for days since our departure I've fought off many a wild beast and found my nutrients in roots, berries, and springs!
These nights alone have been cold but I've fashioned some pelts for warmth!
TOMORROW IS ALWAYS A FRESH START!
Roughly only another week of traveling on foot before I reach the East Port, but they're on horse and I might not make it!
There should be a ship there, I only hope the one I adore is on-board!

Abstract Thought
02:15
|
|||
|
Searching for more than an abstract thought something like from creation to rot in another dimension i was taught that we've lost volition to the subconscious, Gain erudition with no coherence!
Static floating in dead vibrance!
Prismatic showings, no diamonds!
Surrounded by abstentions!
Lead down to a palace in decay!
Stand in the midst of shattered myth and watch the porcelain crumbling!
Divine revelations state,
This power was never mine to take!
The first signs of ascension alongside those of corruption!
Scattered across the aether my spirit soon atones the actions my body does not know!
So with these chains squeezing around my throat, I scream and growl, "hold on to hope!"

Sacred Artifacts
05:42

Searching for the man in black, on his trail for months, chasing him between continents!
Wandering through the desert for days now, I stumble upon a small town!
Twin Towers stand at the edge beside the cliff overlooking the ocean, a city built of salt, flowers of varying colors, and the river stream flows throughout!
Dark clouds begin to gather as I first enter through the city gates!
It appears that I'm too late!
He's already here!
I dont know if they have need to fear, I still haven't figured out his intentions for myself!
Streaks of Flame burst from the clouds!
Spears of Ice hail down from the sky!
I see children in their mother's arms crying! Everyone's running towards the castle!
I join them, pushing past the crowds!
Soon in the central court, this is where I'll wait, because if there is to be an appearance then it will be here!
I know nothing of the schemes he weaves! However I am sure that they are sinister, else he'd have no need to steal the sacred gem stored in the body of my King!
(Of which I've been charged to protect!)
But as I take time to reflect, he appears here in front of me up on the balcony!
He sees me in the crowd, but his speech is addressed to the town!
"Greetings! To the people of T'keltklyf, I am not but a weary traveler in need of shelter and rest!
I've been on an important quest for many a year and the reason that I am here is to aquire the sacred dagger of the Twin Suns, held for generations by this land's Princess!
I cannot stay long, however, as my mission bodes me onward!
So if the 'Royal Blood' refuses compliance, I will have to take the lives of everyone here....."
The ground beneath us tremored, ripping open the castle floor and causing the ceiling to collapse!
Pieces falling to the floor, the township's fleeing to the door!
I stand still as they all clamor past me, tripping over eachother and themselves!
Soon only I remain with him in the castle court, "What is your name?!", our hero implores!
Yet he receives no answer, only a blank stare, making him painfully aware that amidst this crisis the Royals are nowhere to be seen!
Not even their Princess, Fair!
They both look to the sky through the hole in the roof to find that smoke has replaced clouds and the winds have turned to flames!
They also can see, the Twin Towers looming!
Blegh!
Hundreds of stories high,
Princess Emilia stares out at the tide... the last surviving of her bloodline, as it was prophicied to her alone!
She now knows the truth of her destiny, what she must do to redeem the throne!
"Sealiumtun Quayayum!"
Then she throws the dagger over the edge, it drops to the deepest crevice of the ocean!
She sighs with relief, a deep breath, "Return to the Sun!", she says!
As her tower splits into halves, Slowly shifting apart...
She falls to the waters!!

We are born into a world of fear and suffering where people who lose everything are afraid of nothing while those who have everything are scared of anything that might take their pleasure away!
I've tried to help those people stay on the path that they all crave!
But who am I to do such things!!!??
I've made too many mistakes to judge you or try to proclaim your fate! The actions we take are your choice to make!
Eeya!
And I appreciate the things you have to say!
These opinions of yours, I hope never change!
Stay true to you! Even should you disagree with others!
And do for them the same that I hope I've done for you!
All shall be revealed some time soon!
THIS I CAN PROMISE!!!
UGH!
PROMISE!!!

End of an Authoritan Era
03:32
|

|
Stepping forward with my right foot!
If Spirit wills it into being!
Metaphysically speaking!
Using words as alchemy!
Creating our own reality!
Forseeing thee destiny!
Imbued by the Gods, and the Oneness of All!
Darling promise me that no matter how much pain the world gives you, you won't inflict suffering back upon anyone else!
For you'll find it's unjustifiable!
In these moments I am the afferent of society!
With blood inside my soul a hole in time erases memories, replaced with aberrant melodies!
Sending impulses of change towards the encephalon which are blatantly ignored by "The Great Unwashed"!
But I am not clean either, only by the power of the Breather!
Do I still stand despite this sand inside of my LUNGS!!!
Yet it won't last, we all have our time, I simply pursue this essential quest, begging completion should I run out of mine, that someone may bring, the Empire to rest!!!
The evil I've wrought cannot be undone even if for amelioration!
Regardless, now, under the Sun,
I sever the cord and the people do run!!!
See the change you want to be in the world! Apathy solves nothing!
As it was spoken: "Without vision the people cast off restraint!"
Respect existence or expect resistance!
All hold hands! Arise for the occasion! United we stand!
Staring in the eyes of a Tyrant!
Claiming back our land from crippling hands, we wage war on bloodsoaked sands! Diamond meets steel! Magick meets magic!
The pain that they will feel, will go beyond their bodies through their soul! Tragic they had to seance the scrolls!
Absconding all knowledge for yourselves!!!
Bloodied clouds hover above us as burning forrest surrounds!
With blackened water, beating at our feet, I finally, hear the sounds, angels, calling, me to Valhalla, to, atone, for accrued karma, in, the form, of your blade through my abdomen, as, I, look down!

Usurper
03:27
|
|||
|
WHY!!!?
Is what I ask myself as time collapses around me, constantly I'm surrounded by the fallacy of mankind, creating solutions to situations they bestowed upon themselves!
In an attempt to usurp physical wealth they lost their spiritual selves!
Why!? Tell me! Why!?
You put yourself on a pedestal so high!? Dawn is rising the hour is nigh! You've sealed your fate so long ago so you obviously know you're out of lives!
You can only cheat death for so long before your wretched karma is too strong! Searching for a place where I belong, I find myself wrapped around the throats of people with more possessions than they have health!
I ARROGATE YOUR EMPIRE!
I AM THE USURPER!
In this system only the rich can thrive, only the rich survive, and so only the rich deserve to die!
If anyone at all, it's really just the Dijal who deserves to fall!
The world is ruled by symbols!
Not words nor laws!
It's not our place to designate power! Great Spirit will swoop in, in an instant, saving our race, nigh is his hour!
His mighty fire scorches your tower and every other place that evil feels safe!
We're supposed to be awakening!
I can barely contain my excitement for the day of reality's unraveling!
It's already happening!
Fully understanding everything surrounding spirituality and the world that we see!
If only we could simply "BE"!
Soon enough because the year is upon us!
The year is upon thee!

Exist / Exhumed
03:57
|
|||
|
I don't want to exist anymore within this dimensions stiff comprehension, lacking understanding of your cognitive dissonance!
Revitalize body and mind!
Demystify their lies!
Detoxify your eye!
Resonate with these words inside!
Respirate fast until your last breath consumes! Stricken agast left desperate for the fumes!
Irony is replacing innocence with ignorance!
Respirate fast until your last breath consumes! Seeping in the darkness of my heart through the dehabilitations my will!
Channel the energy out of thy field, creating something glorious of this life!
As time crumbles around me I watch the strife begin to leave me!
Expectation will meet reality, even subjecting debauchery to morality!!!
Surely becoming something I'd rather not see! Suffocating as I breathe deeply! The deeper I breathe, the more that I see!
The more that I know, the more I believe!
Exhumed deceipt, decrepit beliefs, a soul of light meets a corrupted scream, devouring the spirit inside of me!
Now watch me act in hypocrisy!
Living blind, in a fallacy!
Yet begging, "Please, do not forsake me!"
These things are never meant to be!
And all that's left here for me is darkness, pain, and misery!
Suffering imbued to the weak!
For that is all I'm ever deserving!
Respirate fast until your last breath consumes! Stricken agast left desperate for the fumes!
Irony is replacing innocence with ignorance!
Respirate fast until your last breath consumes! Seeping in the darkness of my heart through the dehabilitations my will!
Channel the energy out of thy field, creating something glorious of this life!
As time crumbles around me I watch the strife begin to leave me!
As the mountains are torn asunder and the oceans evaporate, we watch the Sun fall from the sky as the Moon bursts with flames!
Respirate fast until your last breath consumes!!!
BREATHE DEEP!!!

Infinte repetition....
Is it all just infinte repetition?!
Infinte repetition, born under a sign of attrition! Flowing through the aether, manifesting from the Breather!
Recreation!
Resurrection!
We fill the shoes of our previous selves, searching for transcendence!
Recreation!
Resurrection!
We perish only to rise again!
Rise again! Resurrection!
We rise again! Blegh!
From the top of the world I can see the gears turning!
Everything ends in flame or glory!
The hatred must be ceased!
Allowing peace to increase!
Believe me, you've no need to worry!
This system will end in a flurry!
Corruption will see overturning because we have no right, nooo... !!
WE CANNOT TAKE THE LIVES OF OTHERS!!!!
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Fuck!
Recreation!
Resurrection!
We fill the shoes of our previous selves, searching for transcendence!
Recreation!
Resurrection!
We perish only to rise again!
Rise again! Resurrection!
We rise again! Blegh!
A cycle of karmik retribution finally ends with divine interjection!
These lives have been a lesson!
I'm now prepared to fly!
All shall be revealed in time!
Things we've always known!
Places where we've shined!
The things that we've done wrong!
Followed by our ascension to the appropriate level of Elysium!

if this album is anything, its incredibly well rounded. choosing to step off the gas a little bit in favor of a notably more polished sound. I dont dig it as much as psycho, but I'd be a liar if I said this is isn't a radical improvement in quality.

Serious aficionado level Prog/Tech Death. The unique colors they bring to this record are not really heard elsewhere. They have forged their own sound and it’s totally badass. I guess The Faceless could be mentioned for reference of similar styles/tones. They care for the song craft as much as the tasty Tech and Leads. It really is like everyone is saying....a perfect Metal experience.
