Lyrics:

Feeling alive with distractions on my mind
Behind these eyes, many whispers seem to hide
That which I see only when in need
Looks back at me as I reach for fleeting dreams 

The final stage I’ve seen in the winds
The wise ones take time to return again
My path is onward inside
I’ve always rolled with good times

For now I’ll wait, falling behind
Look to the sea, for in time
Feel the tide deep inside your heart
Your future lies somewhere on the waterfront

Forgone conclusions
Get you nowhere

For now I’ll wait, falling behind
Look to the sea, for in time
Feel the tide deep inside your heart
Your future lies somewhere on the waterfront

A fiendish creature grows
It wills to feast on blood and bones
Messages in the form of poems
Awaken fore the moon wanes I’ve been told 
Carving sigils in stone

I’m walking through the of fields of ash
The days go by, the months begin to pass
I don’t feel right; I’m wasting all my time

Snuff out the light to see
As darkness gathers demons breed
Blacken the sun to feed
Come forth reveal yourself to me

And in between the stones and sea
Gaze into moonlight longingly
I don’t feel right; I’m wasting all my time
Do not abide and watch your life fly by, I’m told

This I have seen
Lost among the furrows of my dreams
The stars put me to sleep
Fields of green
Deep inside the dungeons of my dreams
A way to find my peace
I don’t need
Things the earth cannot provide for me
I wish not to compete
Philosophy
Time and patience will erode my need 
I will learn to be free 

Callous you are indeed
As much as you wish to deceive yourself
Your soul is filled with greed
Contorted logic will not serve you well
The saddest part is you believe yourself

All this in time will fall
Under the glow of the sun
The iterations to come
All this in time will fall 

I’m free to roam the plains at last
Without a sense of time the ages pass, I’m old
I don’t feel right; I’m wasting all my time

Snuff out the light to see
As darkness gathers, demons breed
Blacken the sun to feed 
Come forth reveal yourself to me
Snuff out the light to see
As darkness gathers, demons breed

I wonder if I’m right to ask
The question in my head came last, and I grasp my sacred stone
 
Snuff out the light to see
As darkness gathers, demons breed
Blacken the sun to feed 
Come forth reveal yourself to me

All this in time will fall
Under the glow of the sun
The iterations to come
All this in time will fall 
As scriptures never foretold
Smoke billows from the groves

For now I’ll wait, falling behind
Look to the sea, for in time
Feel the tide deep inside your heart
Your future lies somewhere on the waterfront
Forgone conclusions 
Get you nowhere

Lyrics:

Oh, we will go to darkest lands
Grasping light with feeble hands
Barren wastes, ravaged expanse

It blackens the horizon
Dark clouds rise fumigation
It blackens the horizon
Humans choking on the air

Weaklings, pests, feasting on the flesh
You now must become, completely remorseless

Quest now beginning
Journey to the spire
Destroy this tower
That controls thought
Quest now were setting 
Journey through the dark
Destroy this tower
Bring hope to ours

Will we ever know who they are?
These destructive ones; bringers of the dark
Will they achieve their bloody conquest?
The time is now; seizing the power

Flying forthright through the night
Searching always for the light
Never set foot there again
Illumination false came from within

Never release 
Soul is yours to keep
Never complete
Brains aren’t theirs to eat
Never let your self be taken
You’ve known this from the start

I never thought I’d see the day
Our entire species destroyed by an alien race
The harvest long has started
Science
Progress
What is it to them?
Emotion?
Love?
Was it all we had?
Was it all we had?  

Without a regard, a motion for the sword
I saw the spires, palace of the shapeshifters
Inside of us all, raging and boiling tide
And in the heart, darkness now is rising
Without a regard, a motion for the sword
I saw the spires, palace of the shapeshifters
Inside of us all, raging and boiling tide
And in the heart, darkness now is rising
Sunlight henceforth falling

Quest now is ending
Journey from the spire
Destroy this tower
Laughable attempt
Quest now is ending 
Journey from the dark
Towers so daunting
Lost hope of ours 

Flying forthright through the night
Searching always for the light
Never set foot there again
Illumination false came from within!
Reaching-taking, pulling-twisting
I am one to take, left their souls within the wake
Stretching onward, ever outward
Expand the conscious mind, great power will rise from the inside

Anger tears us apart
Aware of the lies created by pride
Acknowledge yourself to be nothing but man
Your perception knows no objectivity
So where do we start searching for purity of heart?
Begin with the mind, learn to find the calmness
We’ve only begun, peace it is oh-so-far
Within the heart, happiness is growing
Sunlight henceforth falling
