Nightingale 01:20

Façade 03:52
Drenched in defeat yet you still drag your feet, drowning in deceit and yet you show no mercy? The blood flows clearly, yet you still fear me? The trumpet deafening, but you still hear me. This winter's breeze from my cold heart will bring you to your knees. You will feel me, breathing down your neck. I will, send a chill, down your spine. So just choke on your impurity, and I'll cut this knot with all the fury in me. I can feel your insides turning. When this trumpet sounds, I'll bring you to the ground. (3X) You still drag your feet? I'm drowning in defeat, show no mercy. You still fear me? You still hear me? This great city that we built, washed away. (2X) Washed away.

Unworthy 04:09
Paving a path of rusted morals, blinded by immodesty, your tainted eyes, see for miles, but are immune to the love they require. Rampant vulture! Ignorant Swine! Harmonized cancer! Fuck your morals! This is my time, cast your legacy aside. We are not the same, and never will be. (2X) Vexation towers over the wit, hoards once loyal now split. Artistry pinned by the sword, you're forgetting who you are anymore. The pendulum keen with each swing, is this for you? is this for me? You are unworthy.

Mirror Image 02:48
The day it all happened, thought I was trapped in this forever, it was inevitable. I'd do better, but I fell down the ladder. I'm lost so far from home, but I'll do this on my own. You took me by the hand and told me there was only one way to make the pain end. That was until I fucked up again. You gazed at me in despair, every time I try to repair what I'd broken. I was so sick, I was ready to live again. All of your dreams, were torn apart and ridden. The darkness engulfed me. The day it all happened, I thought I was trapped in this forever. I'll take this on my own. I fell down the ladder. You took me by the hand, you told me there was only way to make the pain end. My blood boiled, and steamed. I can't help that I'm a fiend. After going through this hell I finally feel like me. I thought I was trapped in this forever. I used to wonder and fear your opinion. I swear on my life I'll be your mirror image.

The Waking 06:00
It pries me wide, with the darkest of eyes. I am one with the visions of gloom. A never ending cycle of life derived from the unknown. We'll never know what the stars read. It consumed all I ever knew. Eternal dusk coats our great home, seized by my previous life. I want it all back! Imagery floods my veins. The illusion of everlasting life keeps me sane. I am awake! Our father's wits are the catalysts of today. Whispers from a wind far and wide, came to me in my sleep, stoking the fire in me. The scriptures are engraved in me. This is life, this is the awakening. I seek truth with the brightest of eyes, this is the truth I seek. I seek truth with the brightest of eyes. Knowledge is power in our great home. Corrupt every innocent being one by one. Happiness is deep within all walks of life, we all grow at the same speed. We are all given the same warm gust in a forest of few living trees. Stop living on your knees, and spread your leaves. You are awake! I hear a calling from a foreign land, across the seas, beneath the sand. All of this time I was living on my knees and now I know that this is the truth I seek. You are the truth I seek.
