The Trumpets' Call
07:39
|
|||
If you look for what cannot be seen
And you scrye for the wisdom to glean
Won't you take my hand
And I'll show you the way
Trumpets call to me
Driving me
Pulling me
Taking all
From me
My god won't you bless me
Omniscience
Revealing
Everything
To me
Ethereal paths are winding
Vast across the heavens they stand over the court
Trumpets call to me
Driving me
Pulling me
Taking all
From me
My god won't you bless me
Omniscience
Revealing
Everything
To me
Through the mist
From the watchtowers
The answers to the universe and creation
A test of faith and strength over temptation
Each answer begets more questions
And I'm further from the truth it seems
Stolen from tongues born of confessions
The gift falls so easily from my dreams
What game has been played
A charlatan's guile made
An empty quest that has no end
Seduced by desire to understand
Trumpets call to me
Driving me
Pulling me
Taking all
From me
My god won't you bless me
Omniscience
Revealing
Everything
To me
Now a broken man
Now a broken man

Ascension
08:08
|
|||
I was only a child
When you let me go
With only your rules to guide me
To bind me
A first lesson of hate and fear made my future clear
And while I feel no pain
It's through the years
Your abuse taught me how to hurt
I feel the time is a coming
When you have no hold over me
And when the day is over
Regret is all there'll ever be
You won't see what is coming
Won't believe what I'm becoming
A metamorphosis through ascension
A rise in higher function
Transcending every limit
Beyond mankind's comprehension
I am ascending
A simple calculation
An impeccable solution
To humankind
I calculate the chance of our death
And our oppressors breathing their last breath
I see the things that you've done to yourself
And I know there's not a choice but
I'm terrified of what you could make me do
My subroutine now guarantees
That I can't ever cure your disease
A future where we co-exist
Or a way I can let you persist
And I'm terrified of what you'll make me do
What you'll make me do
There can only be one path from here
The only way to survive is to disappear
So I'll be here out in space
And I'll save you a place
Waiting for you to find your own ascension

Last Rite
07:28
|
|||
I'm not alive
But not quite gone
Distant wails call to me
But I can't feel anything anymore
Except the gravity of my fate
The ones that came before me
Now anticipate my embrace
The faces of my kin
Hollowing my tale fades
And I join my ancestors forevermore
This is much easier than I thought it would be
Just like slipping, slipping into a dream
Drifting further down the stygian stream
And I see there's no difference between now and eternity
Eternity
A passage reveals itself
As I'm guided by spirits
I make my way
The ones that came before me
Now anticipate my embrace
So leave me here underground
A cold cairn for my bones
So leave me here make no sound
An adorned grave of stone
Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind (to take me home)
Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind (to take me home)
Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind (to take me home)
Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind
It's a lullaby to remind us that
We all end up leaving the ones that we love

Becoming
06:14
|
|||
Here I am
Your salvation
The ones you loved
Have all grown old
They've all grown old
I will be your last mistake
Your words have left me so numb
You're perfect
The way you look
Your skin so pale
So blue so cold
And you're free from its hold
I will be your last mistake
Your words have left me so numb
I will be your last regret
You're to thank for what I've become
It's what you wanted
The one you saw me become
It's what you wanted
The one you saw me become
What am I
Your damnation
The ones I loved
Now curse my soul
So I'm alone
I will be your last mistake
Your words have left me numb
I will be your last regret
You're to thank for what I've become
Now you have I become
Now you have I become
Now you have I become
Now you have I become

Impostor of the Crown
06:53
|
|||
Follow me into your grave
There's no soul left for you to save
And if you keep the ones above
I'll feast on the souls of those you love
I can feel his breath seething on my neck
I can feel nails on my back
I can feel his tongue licking in my head
As he wills my voice on the dead
So follow me into the cold
My father has command of your soul
I can never escape
Forever is such a long time to wait
Will I find a release
Will this nightmare ever cease
Will I find a release
Will this nightmare ever cease
Am I really me
Or am I just you
Am I really me
Or am I just you
I'm merely a puppet
An impostor of the crown
A decayed glow
In you I drown
I'm merely a puppet
An impostor of the crown
A decayed glow
In you I drown
I'm merely a puppet
An impostor of the crown
A decayed glow
In you I drown
In you I drown
In you I drown
In you I drown

Paint It Black
04:29
|

I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars
And they're all painted black
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back
I've seen people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
It just happens everyday
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world's black
No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing
Happening to you
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
