Consumed by thought, 
Consumed in mind, 
Consumed by fear, 
The fear inside.                    
            
A step before death, 
There's no one left.
We are the chosen                           
Trapped in these walls.
In these walls
  
These vultures want our flesh, 
But we're not dead yet.                   
They try to break our spine.
They peck and claw at the eyes  
These vultures want our flesh, 
But we're not dead yet. 
They invade our whole lives,
Refuse to be sacrificed! 
Sacrificed!

Who would know,
The stories left to be told, 
Of the way it was, 
How we've lost control. 
Unknown 
In the shadows they troll, 
They've lost their lives, 
Lost their souls.

Consumed

Time is breaking down. 
Where did you think it would be.
Behind your eye somewhere lost unseen. 
Able to live out your wildest dreams,
or trapped in your own reality.

Forget all that you thought you knew.
a thousand voices not a word is true. 
Unsatisfied with the lie you've lived. 
Without a thought not a reason to live.
                                                               
Day in and day out,
we are screaming without a sound. 
Time is running out for you, 
from this cage you can not get out. 
The bitterness inside you, 
all you feel is hate. 
For you know you're alone,
and locked in this place.

Ohhh, time will not wait for you.

What?
Did you think it would be easy? 
Somehow fools always do.
You've lived your life without a thread of meaning. 
You know my words to ring true.

Split apart the seconds, 
divide the time. 
A moment can last forever 
you are locked inside your mind. 
You will keep on walking. 
Forever trying to escape. 
But you know you are alone 
and locked in this place.

Ohhh,

So, what did you think it would be? 
A Divine being leading you to glory? 
Forget all that you thought you knew, 
you've lived a life always playing a fool.

Day in and day out,
we are screaming without a sound. 
Time is running out for you, 
from this cage you can not get out. 
The bitterness inside you, 
all you feel is hate. 
For you know you're alone
and locked in this place.

Noo, 

Time will not wait for you.

Time

A storm is coming, can you feel it?
It is happening all around you, can you feel it too?

The time has drawn near. We must find a way to survive. Our fate, become clear. A destiny we can't deny.

Do you hear the cries from around the world? In a turbulence of awareness.
Our blindfold has been removed.
Can you feel it too?
Do you see the monstrosity we've become. Living in a life of ignorance. 
Our lives have been taken from us. 
Our brothers have died in vain

... ohh.

A new beginning to an old end. 
Brace yourself for what is to come. 
An old end to a new beginning. 
The circle revolves 
around again.

And so this is the end.
The secrets are known by all. 
Our last moments have come. 
Inconceivable these things, these things we have done. 
This has all started such a long time ago. 
The world that lay before it.
No one survives, survives that has known.

Torn

Stay out of the way. 
No longer fucking around, 
given up on finding common ground. 
You go your way, 
I'll go mine. 
But we're done pulling dead weight for fools, stay out of the way,
we're through.

Somehow someway, 
they'll learn to see, 
these answers we seek can not be bought, 
Somehow someway,
they'll learn to see, 
things are not as they appear to be.

Backed against the wall,
No where to go but through. 
Backed against the wall
The lie has come true

They're trying our patience, 
getting under the skin. 
The time has come to show them all
we let no one win.

Let no one win.

Backed against the wall,
No where to go but through.
Backed against the wall
This is long overdue.

They're trying our patience, 
getting under the skin. 
The time has come for us to prove, 
we let no one win

Let no one win.

Backed Against The Wall


I can't tell, what's real anymore.
And I just don't care.

Will you stand and watch as we burn the tree of life, 
All bear witness to the sacrifice. 
Will you stand strong against the test of time, 
Or bend and break in the rising tide.

What the hell went wrong, 
We can't take any more, 
Heat. 
Who would have thought 
Making the atom split, 
Would have caused,
All of this.

The fallout,
The metallic taste in the mouth.
How can we fight what we can not see 
We are the warriors,
Who fight to contain.
This unspeakable beast.
Our lives lost in vain.

Ohh.

I can't tell, what's real anymore, 
And I just don't care.

What the hell went wrong, 
We can't take any more, 
heat.
Who would have thought, 
Making the atom split,
Would have caused, 
All of this.

Will you stand and watch as we burn the tree of life, 
All bear witness to the sacrifice. 
Will you stand strong against the test of time, 
Or bend and break in the rising tide.

Rising Tide

Dredging out this life
So estranged to humanity
Taking the last breath
Fighting every step
Nonconformance to society

Deeper down the rabbit hole
I don't care how far it goes
The walls are closing in
This nightmare is set to begin

We think
What they want us to think

We feel
What they want us to feel

We want
What they want us to want

We are
What they want us to be

Rise from the ashes
Fight the unnamed
Fists clenched with rage
We will not be restrained

Find the strength to fight
Or step aside
We are the broken
Remains of mankind

Our differences unite us
Make no mistake
The ones that manipulate
Are the ones to blame

They prey upon our fears
To take freedom away
Just look around you
We're all trapped in this cage

Our differences unite us
Make no mistake
The ones that manipulate
Are the ones enslaved

Awaken
Forsake your early grave
We hate
Who they want us to hate

When only the dead
Can avoid this plague
We are left
To define our age.

Awaken

Control the mind
Through the eyes
A masquerade to hide
The truth in life
                                                   
I see it turning crawling
So deep within the flesh
It will destroy your future
It will take till you have nothing left     
                            
I see it deep inside you
It's burnt into your mind
The deceit that will become you
The lie you cannot forget
                                                       
It burns a hole in time
Takes control of your life
What you think is free will 
Is a lie
An invisible cage
Designed for your mind

I see it turning crawling 
So deep within the flesh
It will erase your past
It will take till you have nothing left

I see it deep inside you
It's burnt into your mind
The deceit that will become you
The lie you cannot forget

Withering into dust
Craving becomes lust
Never thought you could kill
Now you must
You've become
One of us

I see the infection spreading
So deep within the flesh
We control your mind 
Feeding on it like a parasite

Your skin will burn crawl
Your memories rot and decay
This deceit that lives within you
Whispers in your ear 
To take you away

Feel the burden of shame
Afraid it is too late
Betrayed by a mindless faith
From this place 
There is no escape

Within

Shall Not Fall:
Three musicians brought together by being in the right place, at the right time.
It was almost as if an unseen force was orchestrating some unknown plan. A plan that we can only guess at - and never fully comprehend.
Comprehension may be beyond mere mortals...but now you get to hear what it sounds like...
