Dark Vital Flames

Passing off into the lost voids afar
My loneliness forever made these stars
Which is unclear to all and most will see
The roots cave in from beneath the tree
Distorting smoke drifts up so high
Only to reveal the true colors of the sky
Which has only made my eyes see
That those colors have now faded away
An epidemic placed in the sky
The colors are now black and white
The vibrant energies all around me
Has made me feel incomplete
(Solo: Anthony Delorenzi)
(Solo: Sean Murray)
(Solo: Anthony Delorenzi)
(Solo: Sean Murray)
The dark has a passion for fear
It is vital like a flawless kill
With the fire to inspire your will
Lost is the light
Failing to maintain the dark vital flame
As I lose myself within the strain

All Too Human
08:27

The deceit within my life
Vital tethers sever
From ignorance, and draws a new line to volition
Trained to be naive
It reveals the space
Between the sun and I
When I witness further stars
I question just how far they are
Each season passes by just as time ceases to mind
Making me experience insignificance
Portraying divinity paradox, wrapped in deceit
Making a striking gift for all to receive
Straying catatonic eyes formulate a haven
Where belief becomes reason
Astral bodies fill the space in front of me
All too human within this state of being
To remain on this earth and realize that I will never understand
My eyes have betrayed me for the last time
I will seek the truth
For this universal connection
Convection of the stars
No destination, no longing, no hope
The grass grows and the water flows
Yet I still feel alone In this universe where I accomplish nothing
So secure with a meaning A question drops, and the definition fades
Into a lacuna where dreams may rest
For nonsense is the soul
And character is nothing more
Than a meaningless representation of our ego
In my empire of shadows where night and day are both false
No life dwells here as loneliness feeds on me
In my empire of shadows
On my throne of regret
Where the sun bleeds
Where life is obsolete
(Solo: Anthony Delorenzi)
(Solo: Sean Murray)
My darkest days were given to me
By the ignorance of others who could not see
That my path is grandeur in the eyes of god
And the heinous deserve the loss of their heart
For putting me on this throne of blood
The last offering I see as I reach for the stars
When I can finally leave, and have a new start

The Architect
06:08
|
|||
|
A lost idea provides exposure to a consciousness unknown
Can finding a lost thought, bring peace of mind?
So lost and wrong with my life...
Struggling for my vanity Has only made my uncertainty
To lessen the longing that I’ve had before ...I’ve lost the thought
We need our original definition
A premonition from the stars
Will the architect help us?
A journey through time and space
To make us realize our fate
Mankind lost all meaning
Our thoughts are decaying
Nothing left, no hope remains
Still pondering what he was saying
We have come so far it seems
Only to, lose our minds this way
Our instincts have grown dull
Just like our barren dreams
(Solo: Sean Murray)
Too extreme are our needs
To fulfill pointless conceptions
No one understands the full-life connection
Disconnection complete
Come down from the heavens
Come down and save humanity
While we are living to die
Come take me away from this place
No truth holds here
Only the premonition
Which is still unclear
Will our bones crumble beneath the fall?
Or feed our fevered likes underneath it all?
(Solo: Sean Murray)

Fallen...
07:36
|

|
I closed my eyes and lost the day
Engulfed by earth, I began the rain
That draped the sun
And masked the moon
With its infernal tears
Fallen, where flowers once bloomed
A nightmare conquers the sun
As it takes another one
Beneath the soil
To suffer the turmoil
And as I turn within my grave
I loathe the haze that clouds the world
Sleeping with the fallen ones
To track the stars
That my blinded eyes can't follow
To gain the universe
Endlessly merciless as it begins
The storm never ceasing as it rots my skin
My soul will never rest
Among these mindless dead
That steal my heart
Like a flower fallen from its tree
I'll find my end
Lost faith in the sky
Because the tears never dried
That soaked the earth around me
What dragged me down with the sun?
(Solo: Sean Murray)
Then on my darkest day
You came and saw my grave
A stranger with a name
Of whom the storm had not stained
You brought a new light
Life reaches through earth and touches the sky
Then when I looked around I had found you were gone
I opened my eyes and found the day
Released from earth, you ended the rain
Now the sun can shine
And the moon can see
With its longful tears
Fallen, where flowers surround me
I slept with the fallen ones
And I gained the world
Now I have a new faith
Hoping the story will be told...
(Solo: Marlon Jeffers)
