Overlord of the West

Impossible, my task to mend the world.
Long forgotten are times of serenity.
Translocate without the Will, without the Word,
Begins the test.
Begins the test.

I stand before a mask
Of the maimed God.
My hand rests upon the orb
As we grow beyond the rust.
To use the Will, to use the Word
Completes the quest.
Completes the quest!

Change

I have not been myself for some time now.

Throughout the change, you stayed the same,
Without decent, mocking the lost.

Be

Eerie feelings of disillusion
Cloak this weathered man.
Tempts and drags and pulls 
Me under, until I cannot find myself.

Begin .
Make me feel alright because 
The things you do will come back to me
In my sweet time.
For this, is more than just a dream.
Enough from you to make me tear this 
Pretty little fortress down.

It's all coming back to me,
Broken and frayed but still alive.
Sequence and sequence,
Forcing me to change,

From blue. 
Make me feel alright because 
The things you do will come back to me
In my sweet time.
For this, is more than just a dream.
Enough from you to make me tear this 
Pretty little fortress down.

Testified and stood trial,
Represented what was wrong.
Come to terms with all I know,
Then proceeded to move on.

Encounters

I'm unsure of what's to be so
Let's suppose our times run out.
We can't hold ideas as truths.
You can't force them down our throats.
Underneath the mask of strength
You've hidden what matters most.
The good news is we've found you out
And won't be smothered anymore.

You've encountered what appears
To be a block in the road.
We can't control what we do.
Reason left some time ago.
We've secured our weakest flank.
You'll have to attack head on.
Don't assume we'll quit in death.
You can bet we'll rise again.

Attila

Underneath the blood stained skies
The riders stopped and stared.
Time could not erase the truth of
Scourges long since passed.

Bleda was unfortunate enough
To share his blood.
Absolute cannot be true
Unless ones by themself.

1.) The Progression

No mistakes to be made. 
No problems yet to be found.
Our symbiotic trances are no reason to run.
But I'll stand beside destruction and 
Watch it go unscathed.
We'll marvel at its brilliance now, 
Just to be amazed.

But I'm begging you, you have to stay.
'Cause I wouldn't want to talk this way.
But the things you do to comfort me
means I wouldn't want to walk away.

I know a thing about you. It was in the other life.
But if you just trust me, if you please trust me,
then we'll meet on the other side.

But I'm begging you, you have to stay. 
'Cause I wouldn't want to talk this way. 
But the things you do to comfort me
means I wouldn't want to walk away.

2.) GSmiTH

I tried to perceive you in a different way. 
It's conclusive.  You're contagious. 
Is it never the same?

Don't speak, don't speak, unless you're spoken to.
Don't speak, don't speak unless you're spoken to.

In regards to our alliance, what's to say?
It's ok, I'll still hate you, even today.

Don't speak, don't speak unless you're spoken to.
Don't speak, don't speak unless you're spoken to.

3.) Fujava

There are no words in this song.

4.) Verloren

Maybe it was the way that you wrote it, 
Or maybe it was your style.
Your hypocrisy was quite charming,
But your reasoning was fucking snide.
Troubled by suppression, I took one for the team.
Stuck inside your loop 
You just weren't what you seemed.

If I can inquire, how come you've set it so high?
To think that it's good is fine,
but not if I reject your god. 
To conclude is to thank you;
your light has paved the way.
I'm feeling much more holy now,
you are the martyr of the day.

5.) Reason (The Game)

Hello again. How have you been?
I guess you heard what happened here.
They threw in the towel, washed of their shit
I broke the ice that was too thin.
But what's that you say? Repeat that again?
Well how about this bit instead. We've
Severed all ties, but the cut was clean.
You'll never hear from me.

But you know the reason why?
Why I ran away?
Why I won't stay here?
You're the reason why;
Why I ran away.
Why should I stay and play this game?

Digging down and breaking through
What I know I've learned from you.
The dystrophy that's killing you
Is buried deep within my soul.
But here we are, we're in between,
Stuck next to the deserted.
This blasphemy is killing me,
But yet I've grown so well.

But you know the reason why?
Why I ran away?
Why I won't stay here?
You're the reason why;
Why I ran away.
Why should I stay and play this game?

It's not my problem anymore.
I left it at the door.

6.) Void

Funny how things change 
When you find I'm not one of you.
Well it looks like I've fucked myself good, 
but it appears that we're one in the same.

But you pray to a god that doesn't 
Seem to be there.  You say that he's 
Coming but I haven't seen him yet.
When will you learn that your faith can 
Lead you wrong? Blind to the fact that
You'll never understand.

I listened to all that was said, and I took it for what it
was worth. It was void as the darkest abyss,
& void since the start of earth.

But you pray to a god that doesn't 
Seem to be there.  You say that he's 
Coming but I haven't seen him yet.
When will you learn that your faith can 
Lead you wrong? Blind to the fact that
You'll never understand.

7.) Temptress

There are no words in this song.

8.) Shame

You look so nice in that red dress.
I tried to tell you but you won't listen anyway.
Now, how 'bout I hold you down,
Cover you up until, you can't talk
Because I won't listen anyway.

But I tried so hard today.
There's not much else to say.
I don't think you know what
Goes on inside my head. Shame.

What's he doing?
This can't be happening.
Is this my fault?
I thought he was holy

But I tried so hard today.
There's not much else to say.
I don't think you know what
Goes on inside my head. Shame.

9.) Fobafobia

You delay your life, now all
Seems shaken as it passes by.
Well I know that you know what
Your life could be without me.

Try to picture something
Where everything comes out wrong.
I'll open up inside you and
Spread out 'till I'm home.

Now that the time is right
Loosen up the chains that bind you down.
Well I know that you know
How much the fear is killing you.

Try to picture something
Where everything comes out wrong.
I'll open up inside you and
Spread out 'till I'm home.

You think it's someone else's fault
When things don't work out your way.
How can you live your life without ever
Leaving that place. Your mentality
Is something of perverted ignorance.
Did you that you could live, live without me?

Simplicity (unreleased)

Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go, let go ,let go ,let go.

Without the one, surely we are nothing
Without the one, we can't sustain the life.
Without the one, how can we fight injustice?
Without the one, we'll shrivel up and die.

I can't tell you what was said,
But the words, they came out wrong.
Simplicity is deaf upon your ears
& now I'm gone.

Without the one, prejudice is futile.
Without the one, the level's not as high.
Without the one, the future is forever.
Without the one, the limit is the sky.

I can't tell you what was said,
But the words, they came out wrong.
Simplicity is deaf upon your ears
& now I'm gone.

Without the one, the future is forever.
Without the one, the limit is the sky.
Without the one, the future is forever.
Without the one, the limit is the sky.
