Age of Becoming

An eerie feeling comes creeping near
State of distress, makes all else disappear
Ever in motion and it won't be stopped
No point in running when the doors are locked
Can you feel its breath in your neck?
Anticipating you to overstep
It's inelluctable, can't you see?
There's no escaping from the powers that be
Your dead stare speaks volumes as you caress that which you hold dear.
Like a mouse trapped in a cage...
AGE OF BECOMING

Crescent Moon

Under a crescent moon, I've got nothing to prove
While I'm contemplating seeing you (death) soon
My temper took a turn - diving down headfirst
How do so many proceed when pursuit feels like a curse?
My contentment's hanging by a thread,
flashing sights - in my mind, - thing I'd rather forget
So take a hard look at the man you see
'cause being cold, pale and silent seems enthicing to me
Losing lust for life like shedding skin
I don't know where to begin
Losing lust for life like shedding skin
(Can't) expose what's hidden within
Under a crescent moon, I've got so much to lose
While my conscience's frail and bleeding to soon
My mindset took a turn - so soon I've learned
Can't pursue my own needs by putting myself first
Losing lust for life like shedding skin
I don't know where to begin
Losing lust for life like shedding skin
(Can't) expose what's hidden within
EXPOSE WHAT'S HIDDEN WITHIN
DAYS ON END - NO CRIES FOR HELP
I'M BUT A SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF
I heed no warning - pay no mind to what must be done
Scorn ever-growing - for I detest what I will become
I'm in denial - Lie to myself at every turn
Like a sheep in the den of lions - for my escape I no longer yearn
I'm in denial - Lie to myself at every turn
Like a sheep in the den of lions - for my escape I no longer yearn
I'm no longer running. I accept my fate.
This is what I'm Becoming. It's too late.
Maybe I've given too much, or not enough
I'll just give in and hope I'll adjust.
I'm no longer running. I accept my fate.
This is what I'm Becoming. It's too fucking ate.

Laceration - Seering pain
As those who still believe remain
Revelling in extreme devotion
You may have sight, but no vision
Laceration - knuckles bleed
from suppressing those in need
Can't you see what you have caused?
You've built a world on broken trust
How many more will succumb?
To still your lust for righteousness
Take away all those who oppose you
then claim you don't act out of fear
Spread your wings and be free
And fly as far as the eye can see
do not feat matters you know not
when it is you who is causing the rot
How many more will succumb?
To still your lust for righteousness
Take away all those who oppose you
then claim you don't act out of fear
It is you
words unsaid - soul is dead
still I plead - endless dread
Betrayers game - you're to blame
Extinguised flame - dying shame
World's dark wherever your shadow roams
Open arms when the reaper calls me home
Your time has come
Don't be so foolish as to ask for mercy
You're in the wrong
Now get what's coming to you

Bloodthirst
03:54

Grab your blade, stick me where it hurts
I'm used to torment and I've shaken worse
Although I'd hate to let your bubble burst
No pierced body will quench your bloodthirst
I'm tired of giving Stuck in my brain and I'm trying to get out
Sweat drippin' off my fingers, foaming at the mouth
I'm covering my ears as the silence is too loud
I'd ask your help, but I really have my doubts
All I need is everything - after all it's only my future at stake
the kind of man I'll never be - so tired of giving it's time to take
All I need is everything - after all it's only my future at stake
the kind of man I'll never be - so tired of giving it's time to take
Grab your blade, stick me where it hurts
I'm used to torment and I've shaken worse
Although I'd hate to let your bubble burst
No pierced body will quench your bloodthirst
I'm tired of giving - I'm always the first
What you expect from me is fucking absurd
BLOODTHIRST
All I need is everything - after all it's only my future at stake
the kind of man I'll never be - so tired of giving it's time to take
All I need is everything - after all it's only my future at stake
the kind of man I'll never be - so tired of giving it's time to take
Get off your pedestal, you're in my seat
Don't resist - accept crushing defeat
Hollow existance, full of greed
Wish I could say yours is a dying breed
Get off your pedestal, you're in my seat
Don't resist - accept crushing defeat
Hollow existance, full of greed
Wish I could say yours is a dying breed
THIRST..

Shattered Hope
03:32
|

|
I had to suffer, crossing the line
I did my time
Pulling the body from under the rubble
while shadows darken my sight
despite my efforts it's sinking farther
Strength fleeting like a dying light
What did I miss, I look for signs
I fall short where others shine
frustration builds, doubt sets in
Fighting a battle - can't seem to win
Can't seem to win
The lowest point i can't recall
With shattered hope I still took the fall
The weight of shame - heavy as stone
It's a burden I cannot disown
I had to suffer to cross the line
I just make sure I'm taking my sweet time
Despite my efforts I feel inapt
I've got no choice but to give in or adapt
