I once thought I had it all, everything I'd ever need Was right here at my feet Maybe it's a sign, a mirror of shining hope? All the reflections in the water tell a different story [Chorus] Could you walk a mile in my shoes? Or cross the bridges that I've straggled along? When the odds are stacked so high on you would you have the strength to see it through? Now is the time to read between the lines To see out far in horizons beyond all God's known glory. [Chorus] Left with open wounds, it's made a man out of me The only calling to arms for me is the beckoning quest to defeat myself Submission to my demons is a relief from the pain that you cause me A shotgun to the back of the head is the only alternative (that I have) Please don't leave me with my mind [x2] Won't you save us from ourselves? Denial hinders foundations to build And when we're incomplete, vital signs seem to fade away The meaning to live, to breath has gone against all I have willed Maybe it's a sign, a mirror of shining hope? All the reflections in the water tell a different story They speak to me on levels far beyond unknown But none have meaning, guess I'll have to work it out alone [Chorus]

Coalescence 03:59
And the light begins to fade Blotting out all that life has made Hear me now The frame of my essence Burns before my eyes Under affliction's curse The spirit rots and dies [Chorus] Never thought of a good reason To exert my life for pain Wicked vice I lay my life on No ascendancy to gain (In silence, I divide) Forever lost inside my mind Illusive walls that keep me blind I always thought this life would be somewhat benign But now it seems as though my flaws are my design And now I know of all the imperfections I have been given that are built into me Handed down from generations of conflict The very lifeblood of this child is at stake [Chorus]

I'm A shadow in surroundings A lurker in the deep Reaping all you've sown But when you feel it Oh by God, how you see the flash of light Burning deep within your very soul Pushing out the truth with all its might Left to the mind, it takes its toll Time will always tell Reflecting chaos' bounds The path that leads to nowhere Healing all along You're waiting all alone No emotion ever shown Redemption never comes Falling through the hour glass Time will tell You envy the power to be what you're not The mist that derails from the truth (I'm) The darkness that blinds The bleakness of black The thing that deceives and consumes innocence Time Will tell What's next In line So now You know This peace Of mind (Oh by God I see the flash of light) (Burning deep within my very soul)

So you hate what you've become In your mind you’ve come undone But you and I are bound to be one Let green fill your eyes To beat what you despise From ashes straight up to the skies You’ve got something to prove But nothing more to lose You’re holding on to all the things you once refused You say you wanna change the world Well first change what's inside For all you know, our minds coincide Gaining the possessions we all crave Salvation from an early grave Departing from the life you claimed to save Look beyond the boundaries This vessel you have found Is nothing but a crutch to the emptiness inside Perception full of fears Leaves no space for dreams But in the end, does it even matter? Does it justify the means? See the path that you have chosen broken beneath your feet Now listen to the real saviour written in concrete And when all is said and done The only thing on your mind Is where our thoughts collide Through all these gruelling days and sleepless nights We'll dominate our own messed up paradise Now, accept dependence of another kind How? Reveal the darkness, open up your mind [x2]
5.
Devil Inside 04:45
Now we dance with the devil inside In discretion to the mark of disorder Once bitten, twice shy I'm regretting the same ills over and over again [Chorus] But the memories remain Fear is waking over me The devil looms inside, divine He sits in waiting softly nurtured by his song maturing in the body and the soul I've made some big mistakes before but don't judge me when you're not so perfect yourself and all these changes make me easy to loathe but I am not somebody to fuck I know my reasons for admissions to guilt I took an oath and swore I'd never turn again But I burned down all the bridges that we'd built And the moment that you left my life I lived a lie And in my mind I know I'm bound to these chains A chance to let go will be coming but I don't know when You know there's never a way to clear these blood stains My attempts are weak so I won't even fucking try [Chorus 2] God, I ask for forgiveness 'cause I've sinned too many times I don't appreciate the gift I've been given A most pitiful crime Lost within my selfish ways I couldn’t move mountain Now I blame myself for all disdain (Just leave me alone) Filled with spoils of the wicked it's a glass on the table to be consumed A cocktail of poison and sin stealing all your desires, not to be (no more) [Chorus] [Chorus 2]
6.
Reflection 05:43
I recognise The veil inside I know this face I've seen the expressions collide (Recognise) This image betrays me (Realise) The veil portrays [Chorus] Complete me now (help me) Take me by the hand Heed me now (change me) Solace I demand [x2] Clutches of unknown grasp me (Grasp me) I see my image fading (Fading) When I look in the mirror (Mirror) Reflection's now degrading (Degrade) [x2] I realise My innocence Is killing me Impostor plays my ignorance [Chorus] Caged inside a dream is where you'll find me Deep in the core, I reside Bathing in the wisdom of an endless sea Deep in the ocean, I hide I see the false reflections all around Lost in the depths, I languish to be found
7.
Whole Again 05:11
It's burning deep in my mind Choking on supremacy A potency undefined Reaching out to me In spite of all that I find Laden with intimacy A raw detail unrefined Indecisively [Chorus] (So tell me) Why should I Give up on my martyrdom now? (So tell me) When in time Will I become a whole again? Oh, show me the blinding light that guides And in the darkness turns the tides I get this feeling there's a higher being watching over me Undeniably Show me the path that I must follow Run through the bounds that make me hollow I get this feeling that I’ll never change always stay the same with myself to blame It's melting into my soul And bleeding insanity Afraid I'll lose all control Slipping from morality [Chorus] And when darkness turns the tides I'm letting go [Chorus] Oh, show me the blinding light that guides And in the darkness turns the tides I get this feeling there's a higher being watching over me Undeniably Show me the path that I must follow Run through the bounds that make me hollow I get this feeling that I’ll never change always stay the same with myself to blame

What's left without the means to build on our philosophy? What's right when all this time you feigned on what you swore? The inner light will set you free Tear through these bounds parting the sea [Chorus] Just what defines me I'll never know I can't keep breathing And that is all because... Oh, can you feel it now? We're heading nowhere lost in perdition (Oh, can you feel?) So just embrace it now Feel all emotion take hold of you (Now this is real) Hold on tight, as we Ride through purgatory Oh can't you hear the voice inside? Repeating all the words we could say Between celestial apartheid In emptiness I yearn for a way What's left, without a second wind to make it possible? What's right? With every turn you make this world your own Everything you hold make believe Deceives the eyes we use to see [Chorus]
9.
Justify the reason for your desperate fall Testify on wings that guide you through it all Soaring high, see the world from above become so small Knowing why, down on your knees, now you'll crawl Jaws' embrace You can't avoid the fate that traps you in totality Dementia in it's utmost, purest form So it turns out the very reason comes to stand Fighting for cause that's long lost I never thought I'd see the day of our demise Lost in a memory and witness to the flames When all is said and done and we've said our goodbyes Remember who we were and not what we became Now defy the womb that gave birth to all life Tell a lie, the story that foretold of strife End is nigh, wrath defined by sharpness of the knife Now apply, now apply the faith in what you know Turn, save face Seeking more destruction as you lay to waste The soul that once resided in your frame So it turns out the very reason comes to stand Fighting for cause that's long lost Let it go I never thought I'd see the day of our demise Lost in a memory and witness to the flames When all is said and done and we've said our goodbyes Remember who we were and not what we became Remember who we were Remember who we were Lost in this memory Hear no evil, see no evil, fear no evil Hear no evil, see no evil, fear no evil

The Deity 05:08
No man can wield the power I possess (I can give or take anything I feel) Though it is yourself you try to suppress (You will play the cards that I will deal) You scratch the surface and take my name in vain (You'll deal with the consequence) Within the conscience, the demons you have slain (Now say goodbye to innocence) [Chorus] I'll bring about the judgement Of the world that you're living in Remember who you were Through the veil that you're giving in [x2] My dear child, you're lost within your sins (You're trapped within a lonely vessel) You call upon me to save you and your kin (But keep up with this holy conflict) Make amends now or you will feel the shame (Of being alive without a reason) For that is how you need to play this game (Past tendencies, you must restrict) [Chorus] Left with open wounds While you've been calling my name You don't appreciate the gift I have given And you're the one that's to blame An open door to the heavens above Just keeps on beckoning, save all from reckoning You will not be left behind My dear child, you will all be forgiven in time You must atone for your sins Sky overshadowed No help is nigh No man is hallowed In his eyes

Forgotten 04:27
What does it all mean? Is this where I meet my fate? And where have you been? I needed you and you turned away The things that I've seen Remind me I took it for granted It's time to come clean This isn't what I had intended Oh no But if this life was just a waste, what of my legacy? Promise you won't forget me and all I aspired to be From one plane to the next I just want to make you proud Laying in sand and stone, my promises disavowed [Chorus] The battle is not lost but somehow I still feel that I've failed To now give sacrifice, will God commend my soul? I knew this day would come when through these hardships, I prevailed Into the next life, I ascend [Chorus]
