A reflection in history Is a glimpse of the future What more can we expect But to follow in their footsteps Record this moment Coming back around again Our fate in parallel With those of the ancients Constantly evolving Is the mirror of our time To repeat the past In the time of the present The fallen empire is dead Like a statue fallen down Fires were burned beneath our heads Another nation burned to the ground The past follows us now As we are the followers of our past A top your steeple Mimic the mistakes as trend Tread these waters lightly They are for all to share Each new wrath Stronger than the last More moral than them all Taking the forsaken path That wraps us back to start again The fallen empire is dead Like a statue fallen down Fires were burned beneath our heads Another nation burned to the ground Fallen Like a statue crumbling down Empires Another nation burned to the ground The fallen empire is dead Like a statue fallen down Fires were burned beneath our heads Another nation burned to the ground

How does it feel To destroy in your own name By the blood of the innocent And the ignorance of the weak How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel to bleed Born within Passed through the grave The brighter future fades All is gone in a world betrayed All is gone All is betrayed How does it feel To be heir to our own race Chosen by free-will Ever changing royal place When will this fade When will this fade Gone The scorned and scarred Beyond enemy lines Fight Defend this life Remembrance is here and gone How does it feel To be part of history’s past Lead the blind into the entrance of Styx Treading fires on their own homeland How does it feel How does it feel Tell me how to feel

Placed into this life From an evolutionary god The luck of the draw I have drawn the loaded gun My presence of deficits Is all that’s seen by you See me please, for what I am Allow me just this once To live my life (All subterranean creatures) (Deserve to see the light) Scorned and scarred I embody them both This heart beats too Don’t forget I am alive I am alive too What we feel and what we know Is locked behind our silent eyes alone Through darkness you will find That no light is our own The breathe of life is veiled Through black of our days No witness in this dark domain But we are alive Hopefully one day I’ll see your thoughts Feel your sensations Hopefully one day I'll see the light Simple pleasures of life Are kept from no one Not even the forgotten Neglected and rotten Do not let me wither away Use your sense of the heart We don't point blame Just ask for your touch We are human too What we feel and what we know Is locked behind our silent eyes alone Through darkness you will find That no light is our own The breathe of life is veiled Through black of our days No witness in this dark domain But we are alive

Following a scientific tale Books created of fallacy Illogical blinding paths taught From generation To degeneration Decreasing the half life of Human existence I cannot comprehend your fantasy world Tucked under your crooked wing No I call Apollo's creed To the heavens of myth and Beyond reality I call Apollo's creed Your life of ignorance Is all that you breed At no fault of your own Born into the mix of angels and Demons fail to see Reality Reality The evidence is so clear The writing is on the wall Destruction of our human advancement you're a hinderance To our progress Carbon dating the ghosts Of eternal realities Records are in the skies Belief in your mystical bantor How does your kind survive I call Apollo's creed To the heavens of myth and Beyond reality I call Apollo's creed Your life of ignorance Is all that you breed Your geometric earth revolves Around a single point A one way mirror Only smoke reflected The conspiracy is your apathy Refuting all the facts and Holding onto withered words I call Apollo's creed To the heavens of myth and Beyond reality I call Apollo's creed Your life of ignorance Is all that you breed

History offers to teach Time and time again You unscramble to preach I’d rather trust in humanity Three books, one meaning Countless interpretations The messages careening At the price of innocent lives Impervious to culture Subjected to the thought of man Only few can survive But in the end we may eat our words My anti-sentiment In the end may prevail I can only dictate myself Wishing protection from the eye Play the men like fiddles We weep at your distress Destroy the lives Break the hands of a mothers caress I play creator You bend the rules Ruin lives For immortality in a mortal world In the name of… Contradicting lies Guilty as charged For a millions demise In the name of… Unspeakable truths Countless lead blind To an empty salvation Black is your white but was once your red Changing with the tides of time A quick reflection Makes an easy detection I have seen your self-righteous past So clear I pity those who blindly pull The reigns of your chariot In the end, does it even matter? From a safe distance I watch Gazing into thoughtless eyes Their ignorance is bliss With a side-effect it dies In the name of… Contradicting lies Guilty as charged For a millions demise Black is your white but was once your red Changing with the tides of time A quick reflection Makes an easy detection I have seen your self-righteous past So clear Multiple worlds are lost Destroyed by the hand of good The hand of good saves all All in the name of what? Civilized advancement Held prisoner by invisible The true power is all around Look no further for the crown In the name of… Contradicting lies Guilty as charged For a millions demise Black is your white but was once your red Changing with the tides of time A quick reflection Makes an easy detection I have seen your self-righteous past So clear See so clear

Where have I gone wrong Why am I lost Unknown to these parts of life I scramble a top this mess Look down upon the tattered and torn Know somehow I’ve pulled myself I’ve pulled myself Somewhere Between the fallen I found myself amongst the dead Pull my life together To face the light instead Between the fallen For every one of us Came a thousand before Join the natural progression Come a thousand more I am just here within my being Within the cycle of life The chosen strife I just am This is the luck of the draw Not always reaping what we sow I have pulled the shortest straw Head down, trudge to the future Somewhere Between the fallen I found myself amongst the dead Pull my life together To face the light instead Between the fallen To face the light instead Our connected fates Is nothing but chance A fused existence No one will guard the pearly gates Left alone With support of solitude All living things will die alone No way to know No one to thank Acceptance is my turn A part of the cycle The missing chain This is life's game Somewhere Between the fallen I found myself amongst the dead Pull my life together To face the light instead Between the fallen

On the other side it’s clear As life and dark as death I see a blind mistreated soul We look into a see through mirror Engulfed by evil Entranced by hate Engulfed by evil And left to this fate This is you and you are I This is a Call to Harms We race around this circle And chase the never down Bad seeds within our own You’ve crossed the crooked To sway odds Dilute the bloodline To create a new end Face the day This is you and you are I This is a Call to Harms We race around this circle And chase the never down Unattain these goals At the price of life For a greater good By a lesser strife The scales will wave And rest on none This is a call to harms

Ripping and tearing Pushing and pulling Gripping at these immortal chains Hating and waiting Crying and dying Rip away these fantasies I cannot die anymore I’ve already been killed Nothing left to be filled My savior of thorns To you I pray I am your receiver of punishment Oh won't you show me that you care I've heard these words All before Always thought That there'd be more I have faced my hell And seen the flames Surrounding my angel I've heard these words All before And feel this pain Evermore Look into your eyes And now I see My Angel is a Demon Famine to starving Blaming to caring On the path to genocide Accusing to horrify All this in you confide Instigate with the spark of a flame I cannot die anymore I’ve already been killed Nothing left to be filled My savior of thorns To you I pray I am your receiver of punishment Oh won't you show me that you care I've heard these words All before Always thought That there'd be more I have faced my hell And seen the flames Surrounding my angel I've heard these words All before And feel this pain Evermore Look into your eyes And now I see My Angel is a Demon Back before all the lies And masks were worn to disguise Even then you were a thorn in my side Gouging these ruined eyes In endless sacrifice My protector is my destroyer I cannot die anymore I’ve already been killed Nothing left to be filled My savior of thorns To you I pray I am your receiver of punishment Oh won't you show me that you care I've heard these words All before Always thought That there'd be more I have faced my hell And seen the flames Surrounding my angel I've heard these words All before And feel this pain Evermore Look into your eyes And now I see My Angel is a Demon

From ancient times now followed Through the ticks back to today A social stigmata shows It is a necessary evil For the future of advancement You learn through our deeds Sick minds invent this torture Poor men endure the pain What ever happened to Who ever cared for The lost souls of a forgotten science The unfortunate suffer For all humanity A work of art To taste the tasteless Lost souls of time For generations the aftershocks of inhumane and unfathomable incantations of thought have been felt The wounded man dying on the table is just as significantly insignificant as the cycloptic child bearing the scars of the numb scholar It is through the perversions of vision and unethical granting of rights that our future can be formed What ever happened to Who ever cared for The lost souls of a forgotten science Born into mistrust now Surviving on your lust Thought experiments Carried out on a corpse What ever happened to Who ever cared for The lost souls of a forgotten science
