A deep and distant ocean
of space, sight & sound
stuck in constant motion
the spiraling down.
Deep into the darkness
where nothing surrounds,
every word dissolving
it’s all breaking down.
to long for a place
where tears don’t fall
there are no graves
there’s no death
& all we ever need to know, is this our home?
a re-setting of everything after the glow
brighter than a thousand suns
burning through all that’s been done.
make it new, this is my plea,
mend each and every part of everything
brighter than a thousand suns
coming like a tidal wave,
tidal wave of change sweeping,
washing over everything
everything rebuilt, stacking
each and every piece in it's place
finally to be face to face
oh how we long to be
quietly together in peace

I’m gnawing at the skin inside my mouth
Soul screams let me out
Life is a waste, you’re taking up space
End it now just to save some face
I’ve seen the final light, I’ve seen the end of days
So many ways to leave, easily fall from grace
I know now who I am, I’ll live another day
This shit may get rough but I
But I
I choose to stay
The last year spent withering away
Life changes, sickness and decay
Through it all I found the better side of me
I know who I want to be
I know where I want to be
I know what I want for me
I am free
I am free

Wash it away
Wash it from my face
You pull me and
Bring me back from the dead again
Show me the world that you had chose
Show me everything you know
I’m so new I feel weightless
I’m so new here I feel helpless
Can you feel it inside of your lungs?
(Breathe in and breathe out)
Can you feel it inside of your lungs?
(Breathe in to breathe out)
(Breathe in to breathe out)
And I can scream, at the top of my lungs
And I can feel, I can feel again
And I can scream, at the top of my lungs
And I can feel, I can feel again feel again

Everywhere I look i see pain
Everywhere I look I see beauty all the same
Looking to the sky
At all the pieces of light
Watching all the colors coincide
The memories stay alive in my mind
Looking back on those nights I felt alive
Everywhere I look i see pain
Everywhere I look I see beauty all the same
Looking back on those nights I felt alive
The memories stay alive in my mind
Holding on time is just a thing we feel
Everywhere I look i see pain
Everywhere I look I see beauty all the same
The memories stay alive in my mind
Looking back on those nights I felt alive
Holding on time is just a thing we feel
Taking in everything that I can
I just want to feel alive
When everything is caving in
I know that I will be alright
When I’m losing touch with the things I feel
I’ll look inside to know I’m real

It’s been a hell of a year
And yet I can’t explain it
I'm always contemplating
Escaping from here
I’ll take a one way flight
Hope to sleep through the night
And maybe in the morning
I’ll find a new life
In a foreign territory
Maybe life won’t seem so boring
Maybe I could find some peace of mind in gravity.
And if I wake up in the morning
Going down in a blaze of glory
May my body burn a cinder bringing forth new life.
Have we lost control?
Can we take a moment to breathe
Calm your nerves, refocus, channel your energy.
I can’t believe it
We’re so conceited
self obsessed, consuming everything, in the name of progress.
What’s your process?
It’s getting hotter every year.
I feel the pressure building
A catastrophic ending.
Crawl into bed
Turn off the lights
And fade into the night
Are we moving faster
Toward an imminent disaster?
Is it too late
Too late for a change?
Watch the world on fire
Ashes of fallen empires
It’s too late
Too late for a change.

once it's gone down
it rises from below
your head is in the clouds
and you're suffering
past indulgence back with a scare
leaves us gasping and choking for air
a wind of change
this has to end
the air will clear
we will breathe again

Light the fires
Make sure the tanks good
Light the fires
Coming up from the ground
Wave after wave
Never giving up the chase
Wave after wave all dead
Light the fires
Make sure the gate is locked
Light the fires
Coming up from the ground
Wave after wave
Never give up the chase
Wave after wave
All dead
All dead
The queen is gone
The rightful King
The queen is gone

I hide for centuries
inside mountainsides
At night the darkness screams of
Unwanted travelers who cannot comply
Transporting Stones from sea to sea
Defying Gravity
Erecting Monuments in the blink of an eye
Disappears as fog will fill the trees
Shapeshifting mastery the king of disguise
Unleash Lament upon the purest of
Life
Bring forth darkness unto their eyes
Stare in my crystal ball and see your life begin to end
Distorted illusions take hold of your mind
Bound by the shadows forcing you to go blind
Disrupt the course of nature on earth
Drain the skies as hell begins to burst
Enchanted Divination
Bestow the curse at once
Infecting the lesser with sickening swine
Defy Limitations
Of flight and periphery
Enforcer of sadness and all misery
Trapped in my spell
For all of eternity
Forsaken souls will beg and plead
Abandoned shells
Of previous bodies lye
Corpses rot as maggots eat out there eyes
“Man will get drunk on wine and forget heaven in favor of earth
The stars will turn away
Crops will wither and water will disappear from the earth
Roots will turn into branches and branches will turn into roots
Soon everything will cease to accomplish its function
The sun rays shock will lift up the seas and the dust of ancient times will rise up again”

The Philadelphia group draw on the playfulness of prog rock as you’d expect from a group who’ve labelled their style as “metal for astronauts.”
