"Lasting Failures" Dusk brings the chill of mystery, the darkness of tranquil thought The moment of harmony waited upon by the troubled In an instant, the universal hourglass is shattered It's hold broken by the pleasure of survival In a world between transcendence and collapse. Technology shows that it has no conscience By illuminating our disasters through the night Our collective gaze drifts to the sky Drawn to the moon, the lone rebel against our being Silently protesting with it's invasive stare. Honest thought and true wishes fill the cold air A swarm of purity invisible to all perception Immune to the sabotage of the fallen Telling reality what it should be Even though it never listens. |

"The Cathedral" The hollow voices ring through Accompanying the arrayed beams of light Stained with faith, the glass filtering shadow Admitting only the soft radiance that is love Time moves on and the world molds to it Yet in this sanctuary of harmony It is the same - the meaning untainted Giving those inside warmth enough to survive this Tales of honor and vigilance inlaid Essences of heroism long passed As the sun falls to the horizon once more The images give their final message Soon the light will return to this place The time of ascendance near at last Hope will fly through the minds of all Before civilization takes it's last bow When all turns to ash, And shadow consumes the sun, The cathedral will remain To see the last undone Bathed in spectral brilliance A prismatic oath to the hearts of heroes Stand tall in the speech of silence The land of color infinite... santuary of my sanity |

"Wyvern's Grip" Lost in the wyvern's grip Adrift in the sea of ice Where emotion is lost to the bitter wind I lay broken among the jagged plates Rubbing the frost from my eyes. The howl of the beast muffled Snow covering all sight and sound I struggle, battered by solid spheres Watching the majest of the snowflakes Falling intact amidst the frozen hell. Blood creeping through the blinding white I stand alone to search for those I love Knowing even as the needles of ice fall They remain behind, in warmth Judging the dead by memories alone. Beaten, now I lay, broken on the ice Pondering mistakes made far away Despite the sting of frostbite in the wind As the snowflakes fall all around To resurrect the image of a better time. |

"Skitter" Dreaming of angles They twitch and they crawl They sneak up a wall Pieces of flies Brooding and breeding, circles are flown Impressions on mirrors We're never alone Sucking and bleeding, burdened by time Leaving me with miasis Pieces of flies Impossible notions Treacherous steam Unphased and replenished Leaving eggs in the seams Torched or drowned or bursted by flats Upward commotion Anxiety bribes for relapse Distinctive aroma, the lure of the same He looks through the iris Decay of the hive Symbols are smothered Lapse into toxins by nectar Secreted in droves Pieces of flies |

Songs
All I want to do is speak, of all the drills in my head Punching holes through my cares... Swirling silver terror bit, pulled from the molten core To bore inside our last thoughts... Please, a cup of harmony A dash of seperation... anxiety! Discordant melody (ahh, ahh) A skyscraper scream (ahh, ahh) Root of the demon's weed (ahh, ahh) Techno lobotomy (ahh, ahh...) A world of blood and flesh, wrapped up in imperfection Stunting our growth, our progress... Mix up of an existence, from the grave filled forest Stirred and tossed for our mutual loss... Add three parts insanity And don't forget the pint of reality! Horrific comedy Shard of a broken dream The world, rotting seeds Techno lobotomy (30 sec. bridge) I live in nightmares built upon a base of fear... My voice will not be raised enough for you to hear... What love is left in me will surely expire soon... There is no sound, our souls can never be in tune... Soak up all those tears and see, Before you waste away another year on me! I won't be living long (ahh, ahh) My moves were always wrong (ahh, ahh) Now you are almost gone (ahh, ahh) I'm on my final pawn (ahh, ahh) Horrific comedy Shard of a broken dream The world, rotting seeds Techno lobotomy Discordant melody A skyscraper scream Root of the demon's weed Techno lobotomy |
