Downfall
04:18

We watch as culture collapses / Crumbling beliefs
Failure of reason / Meaning is lost
Unexplainable predicament / Adherence to absolutes
Our downfall / Excessive self concern
A STORM IN THE HEART / A SHIFT IN SPIRIT
Drowning in doubt/ Inability to create
CULTIVATE / INVOCATE
FORGING / NEW WAYS
Conflict / Distress / Chaos
Relinquish / Control
A STORM IN THE HEART
A SHIFT IN SPIRIT
CULTIVATE / INVOCATE
FORGING / NEW WAYS

Rituals of Disengagement
05:06
|
|||
A colossal misdirection of concern
I cannot see a glimmer in their eyes
Rituals of disengagement
Incessant need to escape
A colossal exploitation of the need to relate
I cannot fathom attention so willing to die
Succumb to the allure of immediate gratification
SEDUCTIVE/SEDATING/SOULESS
Cut the water
With the sword
It only runs faster
It flows forever
Raise the glass
Dispell the pain
Clouds grow darker
Can one refrain

Enantiodramia

There's no truth, there's no reason
Only live for hedonism
Surround yourself with kin
Never look within
Surround yourself with kin
Center of attention
The surest prevention
From knowing yourself
Surround yourself with kin
Never look within
All are guilty
When there's
No wright and wrong

Nothing
04:05
|
|||
God on the the left
God on the right
There's nothing there
Save for your fear
Of an ocean of emptiness
Where nothing is clear
Conventional distance
Invoked by the need
To separate, make real
Your identity
What is revealed?
What will emerge?
When God is exposed
As this unfounded urge
To placate a longing
For something so pure
Robust and reliable
Which always endures
Nothing at all like this
It's plain to see
Furnishes reality

Sunder
04:56
|
|||
Your stories, contrived and misplaced
Your lives, bleak and enchained
Hurling your woes upon the world
Never look at the source
Project internals, blame externals
On your crusade to change the world
Opposition must be delineated
Thus arises the two-fold world
Embrace affinity, condemn difference
Unworkable paradigm
How long can you fool yourself for?
A time will come when you will have to face your self

Faux
06:21
|
|||
Social cohesion / Fear of treason
Callous beliefs / Permeate the mundane
Panglossian falsehoods / Infect the mind
Delusional beings / Obedience to the cross
A cretinous force / Faux scholarship
Convene the herds / Prioritizing dolorious doctrines
Spellbinding conundrum / Accuracy is of no concern
In this ideological septic tank
SUBHUMAN / SUBSERVIENCE
Moral crimes / Dangerous introspection
Distorted worldview / Manic enthusiasm
Uniformly dismissive / Life affirming hysterics
Destructive joy / A communal crisis
Endless illogical cycles / Sends the war
Without empathy / Spiritual deaths
Horror and delight / Fused together as god
RABID WRATH OF REACTIONARIES
Social cohesion / Fear of treason
INSTINCTIVE SURVIVAL
You're diseased / You're malignant
You're diseased / You're removed

Stations

Have you not seen the darkness in our hearts?
You who would only see what pleases
Never see with discerning eyes
Spectres inhabit the surface
The all to sure-footed surface of things
Someday your lens will wear thin
For your place of repose is only temporary
As are all stations
