I fill the seas, and plant these roots
To fill your lungs and foster life
This never ending change, set in motion
When I built this world anew
Paradise, pristine and unharmed
Peering through a perfect image
A dark seed was born
I shaped enchanting blue horizons
Now, the smoke is creeping in
Where is your shame
For what you have done?
The pressure’s overwhelming
Compassion thrown to the wind
As this earth is laid to waste
In a hollow grave
Animate, fire from the skies
To illuminate your awaited fate
Animate, right before your eyes
As I plunge this world into flames
The tears of those who survive
Will come in waves
Trapping what life is left
Under the tide
A coming storm will wreak havoc upon our shores
Rocking the cradles from which men were born
Swaying us towards oblivion
Left barren with no solution
The time has come for retribution
Glaciers melt, mountains crumble
Cities burned, houses flattened
A perfect cycle, now broken
And as you suffer, you are to blame
I, creator
Who gave life to all
I, destroyer
Will reap and harvest
All the seeds you ripped out of me
Burying you deep beneath your shame
(Lyrics: Kurtis Jeffrey)

Cobblestone, twisting like a knife
Darkened skies that dwell over frozen earth
The promises made that fell from above
Casting harm this way, with no regard
To choices that have been made
Piercing eyes, moving senses
This plan will move forward
Piercing silence, frightened trees
Deer’s eyes in the headlights
An everlasting proposition
A cold hearted invitation
The windows stare, terrified
The snow will cover my footsteps
Cobblestone, twisting like a knife
Darkened skies that dwell over frozen earth
The promises made that fell from above
Will line the ground where innocence will be encased
On a quiet night, where no light can be found
The essence of life will know corruption
Freezing, left trembling for air
The feathers of ravens are all of what will be found
White light will capture the shock of the world
Branches of dead trees will hide true meaning
Broken, beat and erased
Left in places only ghosts will find
Cobblestone, twisting like a knife
Darkened skies that dwell over frozen earth
The promises made that fall from above
Casting harm this way, with no regard
To choices that have been made
Painful eyes, moving senses
This plan will move forward
Piercing silence, frightened trees
Deer’s eyes in the headlights
An everlasting proposition
A cold hearted invitation
The windows stare, terrified
The snow will cover my footsteps
(Lyrics: Kurtis Jeffrey)

Idols

Forging elements, we worship stars above
Casting spells upon our eyes
(We embrace the energy)
Brought forth from souls, we erected monuments
Built to stand the test of time
(These skies above will not hear us)
An ancient torch was lit, a signal from the mind
Our curiosity uncovered
(Secrets deep within ourselves)
Searching, breathing, dying,
We see the deluge flooding temples
Foundations are corrupted
As unkind truths are revealed
Rusted relics buried deep beneath the sand
Portraits of our idols
Crumbled and in ruin
Forging elements, we worship stars above
Casting spells upon our eyes
(We embrace the energy)
Brought forth from souls, we erected monuments
Built to stand the test of time
(These skies above will not hear us)
An ancient torch was lit, a signal from the mind
Our curiosity uncovered
(Secrets deep within ourselves)
Searching, breathing, dying,
We see the deluge flooding temples
Foundations are corrupted
As unkind truths are revealed
Enchanting, innovating
We bear witness to the sun’s glare
Transforming and reshaping
We journey through the shadow land
Unforgiven and unforgotten
The dream within us lives on
Only time will tell
That this is a judgment of the righteous
(Lyrics: Kurtis Jeffrey)

Underdog

Water bloody, surface muddy
Tied to this weight of rage
Pressure building, darkened depths
Hands bound there’s no escape
Laughter chase me to my death
Echoes in the wake
Pale figures stand above
Try to rise inside
From judgements born on morning’s tide
Just sit tight, set your sight
Vengeance shall soon be mine
Hands untied by their fate
Courage to fight fueled by fate
It’s not the life
It’s the way
It’s not the fight
It’s the game
Fists clenched, knuckles white
Rescinding to the faith
Apathy the only way
Ignorance is all I know
Bloodshot eyes, vengeful mind
I’ll seek asylum in the waste
My anger's under lock and key
What you see, what you feel
Is just the rage inside me
You drove me, you forced me
Now be ready to kneel
Hands untied by their fate
Courage to fight fueled by fate
It’s not the life
It’s the way
It’s not the fight
It’s the game
Payback time starts right now
There ain’t a thing I now regret
Are you living it up yet?
Cause I will be breathing till the end
Eyes shut tight I fucking scream.
Enough said
(Lyrics: Peter Bagchi)
