Fugue 05:08
A darkness stirs inside me Embeds in memories of better times A body laid bare for all to see A mind ensnared in this misery With canticles of torment Empowered by my cries This sickness comes to claim me The silent grave beguiles Take another pill to stem the rot Peace will be found swinging from a noose This concludes, this ends here I had to learn to walk with myself Learned to live along the way A mirror cracks with a sideways grin Wondering how the hell I got here I had to learn to walk with myself Learned to live along the way Embrace the shadows that dwell within Wondering how the hell I got here The clock is ticking for me The sirens spew their song Stood before the water's edge The abyss stares back at me Come here, you'll find redemption Step towards me, you'll feel the tide Come here, you'll find salvation Just give into me and end your life Take another pill to stem the rot Peace will be found swinging from a noose This concludes, this ends here I had to learn to walk with myself Learned to live along the way A mirror cracks with a sideways grin Wondering how the hell I got here I had to learn to walk with myself Learned to live along the way Embrace the shadows that dwell within Wondering how the hell I got here I had to learn to walk with myself Learned to live along the way A mirror cracks with a sideways grin Wondering how the hell I got here I had to learn to walk with myself Learned to live along the way Embrace the shadows that dwell within Wondering how the hell I got here

Iconoclast arise Bought into power and idolised Free to divide and criticise But don't question if their words are lies Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down Dilution of common sense Pollution of ideology Too long sat on the fence Total collapse of morality Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down Echo chamber State of mind Plugged into the media feed Keeping you blind Free your mind Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down Divide and conquer Devise and prosper Your life's worth Is to fill the coffers Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down Stand your ground Don't back down Rise against those who would cast you down

I watched you surrender to the void So far removed from who you were Unending spiral descending Trapped in the prison of your mind The isolation's all-consuming I hope one day you see the sun again Chapfallen, I'm broken In a battle against my demons They're clawing and taunting The ground opens up to swallow me Is this all I've become A husk that breathes and walks A war in a fractured mind I long for a better life I walk Feet encased in concrete Each step Heavy on my soul Dragged down Victim of my circumstance Enslaved These choices that I've made Hold on See the scars are healing My friend Stronger than you know And now Renewed determination Forward Through each passing day One day at a time Chapfallen, I'm broken In a battle against my demons They're clawing and taunting The ground opens up to swallow me Is this all I've become A husk that breathes and walks A war in a fractured mind I long for a better life Chapfallen, I'm broken In a battle against my demons They're clawing and taunting The ground opens up to swallow me Is this all I've become A husk that breathes and walks A war in a fractured mind I long for a better life

Like living in a lucid dream Becoming intimate with the enemy Still staring at this putrid scene We all will die for wealth and equity Warpath state of mind Brought disorder the Catalyst ending time Face demise I do not fear the pain Hearing the reaper screaming your name Blank face of the mannequin People starve, endure suffering We are all forsaken Damned and hollow Fading in the aftermath Scarred by the creed of man Jaded by a leader's wrath This is the art of war Fear my hand the winds of plague I am the end of man God has abandoned you This is the art of war Bring me his head Bear witness to a bloodbath Lines in the desert sand Failure of a saviour's plan The devil whispers this subtle sound We hear the call Mouth like a gun my hair pin trigger tongue I stand screaming, bleeding Started feeling This collateral damage from leading Conceding Fading in the aftermath Scarred by the creed of man Jaded by a leader's wrath This is the art of war Fear my hand the winds of plague I am the end of man God has abandoned you This is the art of war Seething Conceding Fading in the aftermath Scarred by the creed of man Jaded by a leader's wrath This is the art of war Fear my hand the winds of plague I am the end of man God has abandoned you This is the art of war Fear my hand the winds of plague I am the end of man God has abandoned you This is the art of war

A Revelation 05:06
Lost I'm lost and damned Reach out and only grab a devil's hand Lost I'm lost and damned Secrets of the beaten down, broken man This is a revelation Longing for my redemption A chance to make things right A chance to regain my life Take back control Take back control I see the path before me But the walls are closing in And the weight of this world Is bearing down on me Lost I'm lost and damned Reach out and only grab a devil's hand Lost I'm lost and damned Secrets of the beaten down, broken man This is a revelation Longing for my redemption A chance to make things right A chance to regain my life Take back control Take back control I see the path before me But the walls are closing in And the weight of this world Is bearing down on me It bears down It bears down It bears down It bears down Crushing all in the crossfire Caught in the crossfire This is a revelation Longing for my redemption A chance to make things right A chance to regain my life Take back control Take back control This is a revelation Longing for my redemption A chance to make things right A chance to regain my life Take back control Take back control Take back control Take back control I see the path before me A chance to make things right I see the path before me
