I’ll tell you this, I’ve told you once, now we ride our abstinence
Walk the road of ignorance, the silent sound of consequence.
It’s over now, my hands are glued, humanity belongs to you.
Whisper rain, breath the sun, I hope it lasts, while it’s fun
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Turn another hand on the doomsday clock
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Now it’s time for Ragnarok
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Take the final minute from the doomsday clock
Tick tick tick tick tick tock
Now it’s time for Ragnarok

Reaper

It's written in the stars, for everyone to see
I'm the maker of your fate, the nightmare in your dreams
I'm that haunting photo, of how you used to be
I'm the voice that tells you, practice what you preach
Fall asleep with my fingers crossed as the reaper haunts my dreams
I'm no longer scared to sleep or face my destiny
Broken and your bleeding, You're the other half of me
Choking while you're eating, the embers that you breathe
Suck in the web that binds you, your life hangs by a thread
Cough up chaos inside you, feeding on the dead

Never For Now
04:57
|

|
The ice in your heart is melting my fire
Head is burning my pulse beats harder.
Earthquakes of emotion shake me senseless
My arms are bound render me useless.
Pandemic Imodium always around
Academic emotion forever surrounds
Dropping coins for dreams into my veins
She never knew what I meant
Replace the placement of what I see
Ripping your heart from your dreams
Wrap curtains of comfort tight around
Send the sky in to the ground
Wrapped in your web and it’s comfort inside me
Pulling me close to break what’s binding
Washing myself in a bath of your blood
The acid inferno is freeing my arms

Colour Runs Cold
04:32

Hit me hard hit me high, hit me right between the eyes
Turn the moon, pull the tide, keeping everyone alive
Shut out silence, stand alone, tell the world, You're not alone
Come out loud and proud, be yourself in any crowd
Time turns its table remember me its hard
Shattered hope at midnight breaking shards of glass
Communication breakdown discard all that's old
Fire burns inside me my colour runs cold
Time turns its table remember me its hard
Shattered hope at midnight dissolving in the dark
Time turns its table discard all that's old
Fire burns inside me my colour runs cold
Turn me down, turn me up, spin me till you reach the top
Set the sun, start the night, out of mind is out of sight
Shut out silence, stand alone, tell the world, You're on your own
Feed the fire, fuel the flame, be the reason, they speak your name

The Ending
03:13

Can You hear the cracking of your mind, brilliance sorted, undermined
You won’t see the breaks that hover
It’s a game of patience, get down, cover
Wrap the wool over your eyes, your decisions I’ll decide
Take me, throw it, fuel the fire
Gopher, butler, slave for hire
Often whipped never beaten, robot gardeners forever weeding
Hey Hey Hey, Hey – You don’t want to be like me
You’ll see, you’ll be, you don’t want to mess with me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey You don’t want to be like me
You’ll see, you’ll be, you don’t want to fuck with me
Words are written, spoken, read. Martyrs die with their egos fed
Hit him, hurt her, do it again, no one else can fake his pain
Souls make humans, human’s make love
Seems the kingdom don’t want doves
The cycles symbols she knows best, just hurt me, so she can rest
You know I feel I’ve been shafted, by you and your slimy ways
So, I walk around in a blinding rage, praying for an end to these sad days
You told me things, that I believed, turns out you lied and now I grieve
Trying to work out this maze you weaved, turns out its you that has been deceived
Your down in the dumps, and I don’t hurt, that’ll teach you for treating me line dirt
My heartache stays, but my life is on track, conspire with my friends and stab me in the back

Skin
03:13
|
|||
|
Inside the eyes of the tortured am I the face of your fear?
Was it silence or breathing, how do you say I care?
Inside the mind of the hated seemingly misunderstood
Put into a world of black and white, would you colour it if you could?
My skin belongs to me

Mudslinger

Go on say what you want to, you got nothin' on me
Beat me down 'cause I’m broken, I got something to say
Here we are again throwing round the rumour mill
Here we are again, our acquaintance falling through
Breaking through the masses
Chocking on the innocent
I don’t really like you, I hate to be honest but I hate to be you
I won’t smile when you see me, 'cause I got nothing to say
Here we are again breathing in hypocrisy and
Here we are again basking in our anarchy
Breaking through the masses
Wishing I was free like you

Lights Out
03:18
|
|||
|
I will never be someone
Lonely, I'm alone
When the day comes around, this time I’ll be gone
Lights out, with the lights out
Disembowel your heart of hate
Lights out, turn the lights out
Darkness is our favourite game
Lights out, with the lights out
Dissolve away your fear of fate
Lights out, turn the lights out
Dampen down the fire of flames
Days of darkness is all I see, the moon has turned her back
It will all be over soon, then they can forget me
Let this wind blow over me as I float away
Turn the tide of your mind, let me sacrifice
Break my blood in my veins
To make the dark turn light
Forget my memory, forget my name
To make today alright
Lights out with the lights out
Lights out turn the lights out
Lights out with the lights out
Lights out turn the lights out

The Nameless

When dreams are traded like machines
How do my memories stay clean?
When all my thoughts are just of you and me
I'm deafened by the words I hear you speak
Was I thinking the future was the past?
My eyes fill with the oxygen of dread
Get to know the man behind the mask
Surviving on the ashes of the dead
Can’t you see my bones are bleeding
A cauldron of feelings, mixing
Walking where the path is leading
How is love not worth fixing?
Breaking through the myth of reason
Nature interviewing me
Free me from the demons in my head
Release me from the chains that bind me in
Be me, so you can understand
Will you see me, at Armageddon’s end?
Here I am in another situation, the cycle of time is at my discretion
Is it any wonder my eyes are bleeding?
The voice in my head, is all but screaming
Every night when I rest my head, voice’s whispers leave me scared
Dreams, thoughts, love, wonder
Make way to thoughts of death and thunder
Grace stands still, she’s dressed in white, curtains close over time
Breath is burning through the night, stand on what I decide
Is it right a heart breaks at all? Love makes everything so small
Whisper criteria is all that’s seen, revolving doors of broken dreams
We are the nameless
