born into this world
With no way of understanding
And we leave it as we came
Do not rely on tragedy
To appreciate life's worth
Take hold of your actions
Use this to carry forth

2. Reflection, An Endless Endeavour

Those of faith so willing to commit
Extinction of religion is my faith
Teachings sound, but dogma absurd
Know thyself discovery from within
The path I walk is un-tread
For years silent and misled
Accept self collective conscious
One in the same many equal one
Open your mind to new ways of thinking
Put an end to religions of man
Your betrayal and wars disgust me
Contradictions of humanity
Discover the purity of living
Good and evil are not the only way
Looking inside all things are clear
Self reflection conquers the fear

3. As Long As I Have Myself I Am Not Alone

Years of dedication
To become who I am
Temptations pass me by
Not part of my intentions
Fulfillment not sought
Through a title or profit
But through my words and actions
These are all one truly has
My life is my own
All that I can trust
My life is my own
Through self examination
Suppress the feelings of hatred
Overcome its grasp
Release through creation
Freedom calls at last
As long as I have myself I am never alone
Till final breath
Flesh becomes bone

4. The Culling

Dispose of those who defy
Seek to purify one's life
Feel the awareness of self
Behold that that leads to ascension
The culling of ignorance
The absence of strife
Free from apathy
The cleansing of your life
Strive to overcome desire
Release from the trappings of thought
Defined by our words and bonds
Realize the potential inside

5. Introspection And The Loss Of Denial

Put life in perspective
Adjust the way you live
Seek the way of balance
Sever all negatives
Accept the way that you live
Change can only come from within
Denial a self inflicted curse
Destruction of ego at the source
Sever all negatives
Find the path that's right for you
Rely on the strength of your will
Destruction the loss of denial
Discover absolute truth
Focus on the reasons of resentment
Understand your hatred
To make it dissipate

6. Conferring With Demons

Conferring with demons
A total eclipse of one's soul
Discover the hidden lair of the black
Years of neglect have taken its toll
Conferring with demons
A total eclipse of one's soul
Confront the depths of self
Feel power control
Past are the days of self defeat
Now's the time to flourish
Discard confines of your belief
Take the time to see

7. As If A Rose I Wither

Identity lost
Walking alone
Who stands before me?
Who'll replace the loss?
Once I could remember
Now I collapse to the ground
As if a rose I wither
Fading blending into the ground
Exorcised demons
Revealed damnation
Deciphered the soul
Examine by being
The days have run out
Time has come for an eternal night
No longer with the suffering
No longer with the fight

8. Interlude With Reason

9. A Cry To The Perilous Sun

Forget the past
Scars mark the days of my life
Distraught and beaten
Sorrow has eaten my pride
The years have been taken
Left with fragments of lives
Struggle to see what's been done to me
Struggle to see I bleed
I summon the demon inside
Fight hard with a passion
This is a lesson I know
Do not give in to the lies
That they spin below
With a word that you speak
The answers I seek you know
Where is the one you pray to at night?
Why is your god hidden from sight?
Why do we bleed?
Why do we struggle to see?

10. Prelude to Ruin.
-

11. Dismantling An Empire

Dismantling an empire
Ending tyrants reign
Dismantling an empire
Impending defeat
Ruining subjects lives
Blood has been shed, forced to fight
Words cut the lies that they speak
Roaming the land, destroying the weak
Our path is not one of glory
Stained hands and scars mark the soul
Give praise to our fallen brethren
Who's lives are buried beneath the sand
