1.	Submit To Decline 03:49	lyrics	buy track
There's no action that is sacred Within this vampiric system Would you crush the leech (or smile?) It's only getting worse And your precious image shattered By no one you really care for Hate for love and do it now Draw your card and lay it down Submit to decline This blade shines Cutting through darkness With intentions of love Birds of truce are dead and buried Black roses lie on the grave Mingle yourself with anger Seeping within this cause To be free, to be able To be happy and willing again Shake yourself out of stupor And let's love once again
2.	Attrition 05:02	lyrics	buy track
Resolution in bondage Revolution is strength This is the state A matter of breath It's constant pain Within or without This is the truth Patience is thin Misfortune aloof Look you in the eye Trading faces to match Light the torch Our blaze of wrath At war with peace Hearts are bleeding, bleak The only conflict Lie in a grave Face down To never return Institution is obtuse Belonging to an oblong box Feelings are buried deep blood begins to clot beneath Cuts agape sinew torn Never sewn hopes unborn Harvest comes and doves shall die Iris opaque the hidden eye Give yourself to this life This attrition that we fight To light the torch out blaze of wrath Light the torch out blaze of wrath
3.	Severance 02:56	lyrics	buy track
Flickering candle The blackened sky Above the dead Wicked hearts lie Sculpting our terror Malicious pith Awaken to symbols Within our path The distant moon Never kissed you She hides her face In the jealous dawn Lavender eyes Under storms rise Greeting horizons You never knew What was once becomes Separate from within The spiral of wrathful wishes A feather to never fly Dim eyes fail Not to be seen Hollow smiles Leave a bitter taste And we still crave Each other's hearts Begging for A simple truth But it's so silent All too quiet Unease rests When emotions meet
4.	Arrow In Heart 04:06	lyrics	buy track
To shoot an arrow Of break your neck An act of love Or self respect This dagger cuts Scars made for you This grave is deep enough to hold two Posture forgotten In a passion slain A time begotten And senseless things Suffering silence And alone I pray for violence In a tomb I've known How desolate my heart Bereft of thee And in this tomb In dark I can see Unrequited pleasure A pain subtly sweet And with this whip I hit My back will surely bleed I am my own master But I feel so chained Words of wisdom be damned Existence is inane Touch is forgotten The day is slain Just leave me be Bind my will To death
5.	Fall Down 02:32	lyrics	buy track
Hark No angels call No savior shall come We brought This pain ourselves We have been undone Fall down Out of the sky Ashen wings burnt By your sun I'm not the son of civilization Nor the daughter of man I'm not what you expected Take cover while you can In distant flash you'll see In a distant past it's me Rising from the ash Of history
6.	And Silence 03:37	lyrics	buy track
The time for reckoning has come I know what you've done I'll watch your eyes close gently Like the setting sun And the present Rebukes all temptation Weeping inwardly To maim with love Damned by our frustration And we still bite each other's tongue With a knife in the back shall we, become one Because if I called your name I would say it again To ash to dust im defiled by your touch And silence The time for reckoning has come To rise and not succumb This bitterness that grows within Reminds of where I've been And where did summer go? The faces are covered in snow The winter of our disengagement The winter of my retrieval
7.	Deprivation 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Repressed, in a glow Nature veiwed through glass Light will speak into our view It'll paint our past It's truth lies beyond the sun The horizon set ablaze For its time has been coming down To set the soul astray Stasis of the mind Disease of the time Truth and consequence We've sought to malign Monotony destroyed my will Dread is my kin The spirit is suppressed and Left alone within Judgement False gods Jury of none I reject your sum Deprived of my inner self Deprived of all sense Abyss opened up and we suffocate within All balance was lost all beauty was wrought The spiraling vortex a chasm With a grin I can't express what I have lost With what we left inside of me Suppression is our dull motif Beyond time beyond ecstasy Cauterized eyes and a sense of longing Is what we call living Ominous rapture coming down Torrents come incessantly Only fear is what we feel An Anxious reality
8.	Mourn Again 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Bereavement holds the knife so tight And tears will start to flow Bright red blood begins to fall Out of an opened throat The widows kiss; vows are deceased All that was and is to be For not Nullified ostracized terrified Mourn again The time has come Sorrow's touch Thy will be done Forgiveness holds the orchid bloomed And shame returns the kiss Dark black blood bequeaths our doom Out of our lustful lips The process repeats For not Nullified ostracized ending lives
9.	Bitter Sunlight 05:24	lyrics	buy track
Sun dries up Bitterness and grey But sweet reverie Only lasts a day Hands so cold They start to freeze Now I think I sense The tragedy I beheld a world so dear Though it's meant to burn I fear No pain can touch those dead A secret ideal I kept in my head Everything everything We've ever held Everything everything Returns to ash Like the sand within our hands Like the sand within our hands Blown away Without delay Now I feel the anger pulse I want to take a knife and gut it Cut away the pain Cut away the hatred Wants and needs misguided Flawed, to be smited Now you play, play the fool There's no place for hope And cruelty rules The grave beckons us all The grave beckons us all We all answer We heed the call
10.	Peace Through Decay 04:44	lyrics	buy track
The house is still standing Gutted innards Shadows bleed out Phantasmic finale Walk within The memory Joy is liminal Like the clouds Funeral swoon A bitter view But the taste is sweet For those beneath Crossover crossover Submit to decline Crossover crossover Everything is fine Standing in silence Jilted age The end of the rope Our necks to graze Flies in the window Eventually die Grasp some meaning Life passes by Wither with wind What's within Peace through decay Peace through decay Violent peace Will one day be Peace through decay On a summers day For all I am And all I allow The rustling of leaves My shivering brow I'll let it go And we'll see I'll let it grow No longer a part of me
