Far upon a lost land of time The scriptures were found A revelation rewriting history The change has been upon our eyes Our limitation To live beyond our fragile bones Is adaptation If we look back far enough to evolve Chorus Beneath the very sand we place our stride Hath lain the truths of humanity The sun is setting Upon an eternal horizon The awakening is near So close I can feel it now Reinvigorating our lost Sense of self and life beyond Let freedom ring behind the rising sun From the ancients we can draw Lost codes of our tomorrow Chorus Beneath the very sand we place our stride Hath lain the truths of humanity The sun is setting Upon an eternal horizon As the past catches up to us And this downward spiral Descends back to us Let freedom ring behind the rising sun From the ancients we can draw Lost codes of our tomorrow

Chorus Monuments of fallen men Desolation open up our eyes For our own diabolical empire We forever die The sun sets down one final time Only to arise To a barren earth To our death To endless dirt To a future left to the ones who deserve it Now the past the pain The few who remain All at the cost to remember Ignore whatever we know Whatever we see Whatever we trust What we believe is not reality Ceasing are the hands Of time Father wisdom shed some light on us On us Chorus Empires of ash Come toppling down Material reduced to flesh again We’re on an equal plane Through our own faults Our own paths our own wish Oh how the finite come to realize its name Sick humor we suffer Life theater The Puppet Masters hands are tied we're on our own Step inside the future screen Welcome all to your demise it's here Peer into the future screen We've been living the lie Watching the world careen Watching the world scream Step inside the future screen Welcome all to your demise Will a new age be upon this old world Now the times of tribulation growing ever near Now the past the pain The few who remain All bear the cost to remember Ignore whatever we know Whatever we see Whatever we trust What we believe is not reality Ceasing are the hands of time Father wisdom shed some light on us

Welcome to a world Where we see do not believe White souls, black hearts It has always been from the start To gaze the depths I say to you You am I and I are one with you This forsaken world Old pasts are new Only seen by the mystics It’s been here all along For all to ravish now You am I and I are one with you A thousand lives it takes to see Things true A single moment And I say to you A thousand lives With no future to know Chorus One lie One fate We were never designed To just fade into dust Eternal days We've lived under imagined suns The holographic deception For all to ravish now Unaware of what we know God is at our fingertips now All through the ages We’ve had our times Repeat the cycle Break the chain Stepping stone From myth to legend With a grain of salt I soak all the knowledge of man Chorus My crooked path Leading to where I never thought I've opened the doors That have been locked by untamed minds I used to live In a blinded world Ignorance is bliss But hindsight is torture You am I and I are one with you This forsaken world For all to ravish now Chorus

Stand before eternity Gaze at the endless skies So small we stand Stand so small in time Our aimless flight Our guided paths will cross With the gravity and boundless motion Grasping for your light Scattered oblivion Seems so far to fall Strangers in the dark Dark horizons stall Wait for the signs Carried with the light Of our past, illuminate Years after the waves depart I feel the stars tonight Chorus Standing up in the arms of the night Holding on to the rain Stay below the waters gaze I feel the stars tonight Eternal flame at our core But soon ashes hold our name As our essence passes to the void Is there time out there Is remembrance spared All the pasts of every life Evanesce beyond our reach I feel the stars tonight Chorus Standing up in the arms of the night Holding on to the rain Stay below the waters gaze I feel the stars tonight But the void feels alone Fading away But the darkness so cold I feel the stars tonight At the edge of reality A dark horizon all can see An endless black An eternal line Cross the veil Become one with time Chorus

Your very reflection Unknown, unseen, unheard Cast onto me Will cause a deflection A disturbance in space An impedence in Rome Flows the life of us all None to be left alone Do I follow your laws Can I bend the mold Chorus Evil, damnation falls And prevails the dreams of men As the daylight passes to me Uninterrupted purity Damnation reigns Shattering the dreams of men As the darkness passes to me Uninterrupted sanity Collide and Divide The will of the willed Becomes a deed of the dead Full circle affecting it all Countless tears have been shed According, responding to what’s natural Influencing your own Someone must fall Do I follow your laws Can I bend the mold Chorus Forces of Inertia Pulling all around me Forces of Inertia Dictating the free will

The last of a dozen The last to bleed The last of a dozen The last to bleed Among my brethren We face the odds So small the razor jaw That finds every flaw Trapped into this nightmare My free will is what you will Fortune fading around me Clawing at the darkness Feel nothing to save myself Your will upon our kind Chorus I don't believe that these walls will set us free The last to bleed Into the war we come undone To fuel the fire or duck and run The last of a dozen The last to bleed The strong survive To be the last alive The last of a dozen The last to bleed Prepared to fight Prepared to die It is my time Trapped into this nightmare My free will is what you will Fortune fading around me Clawing at the darkness Feel nothing to save myself Your will upon our kind Chorus

Blackened shrouds of time The simple mind breeds the fallacy Encrusted with insatiable lies Our future is presents past Deceitful calibrations of disguise Perceived through distant lenses Palpitating wretched existence A sound thought becomes a silent voice Letting go of what we know Become a statue in the land of lies Bend a knee to the kings of our demise Chorus Compromise the future seed Sprout the roots of life down deep Black widow veil Our backs are your foundation Timeless is the forgotten hourglass Frantic churns in the endless sands Coexistence is a systematic demise The mutilation of a desecration A failed fortitude reveals the blackened truth Mimicry of the third degree Perch the raven clad in dusk The consciousness cascaded before us Topple down like dominoes Force fed belief of their whispers Fill in the gaps where words don't fit Chorus Forever flowing rivers of nil Monumental truths enveloped in minuscule lies Seekers of the foreign trove Discretion hides behind a falling sun

We are the fire Watch us burn at the hearts of men Passivist in the hopeless mind Burning rage felt deep within Driven to the final line Walls come crumbling down Collapse of our nation Where no pheonix can rise From the ashes Broken dreams and broken homes The deeds of our forefathers Consquences for our sons No liberation Our friends we call our foes New desolation New fear we've welcomed into Our home We are the fire Turning beauty into dust Spread the ashes of our name Lost amongst the sea of life Chorus But we're the passengers of time We're exiled to nowhere We're lost There's no future to come undone And no past to relive again We are desire Frailty of our minds Only wanting to live Only wanting to live without strife Strength of the soul put to the test Exiled to leave The body and the confines of the mind To leave A world that no longer sees the daylight Pass beyond reality of time Of life Exiled from the prison we adore Chorus
