Stigma 03:06
lyrics

I've cast off the moral chains That hold fast your ambition Using my soul as tinder I've set my spirit ablaze Life offers up the cup of existence to all Am I so wrong for taking full advantage and drinking deep? If our experiences make us who we are Then you have become shallow, and I well defined Following laws long wrought meaningless by the hands of time Your curses strike me as the fearful bleating of cattle Met with an unknown entity and higher life form If the unprobed life isn't worth living, then yours insults life itself In reaction to judgment I have responded with defiance And you with compliance Spare me your curses For I am unfettered and free And at this height Your stones will never reach me Though I still wear bindings I have forged them myself You ave become shackled by Pale, rusty manacles Is it your god that hates me? Is it your god that judges me? Is it your god that damns me? Is it your god, or is it you?

Veil 03:32
lyrics

Cries in the night, a welcoming into the Insanity, pervading throughout A parallel realm, as true as the waking world Come with me, into the darkness, blind This mirror world, unflattering imagery Of the evil, within your very soul Trapped in itself, no place to wander No longer shall, this sanctuary be Triumph of fear Triumph of shame Triumph of guilt Triumph of evil Tranquility dead, my existence possessed My being weighed down with the burdens of hell I am as Sisyphius Pushing the boulder, to no avail A terror to live, a terror to die Warring thoughts beckon me to both Trapped in the nightmare of this no man's land Waiting for a break in the storm

Serpent 04:12
lyrics
download
From concealing shadows The blackest depths The chilling slither heard from down the corridor You see the Serpent, don't you? Look in its granite eyes Wrapping around my throat and bearing fangs towards me Piercing, sinking, deep into my flesh Bitten, bloodied by the beast, it empties out its fangs Coursing, running, within my veins Its venom taints my being Deadly, toxic, spreading throughout I hear my hastened heartbeat as though it were to burst Obscuring, fading, my sight betrayed Seized by revolting visions Humility This terrible curse you must endure Pathetc, tragic, oh how you writhe I will liberate you from your suffering be assured Give in, give in, give in to me Oppressive, heavy, bearing down with force Brutally it breaks and batters, brings me to my knees Breathing no longer a thoughtless act My spirit torn to pieces Fiendish allure, serpentine vice This horrid, hopeless, hellish high devouring inside Eating away at what little remains Why carry on like this? Angered, enraged, a victim no more My blood begins to boil building strength beneath the surface Defiant, resistant, a surge of my will I'm made of stronger things Depleted, impotent, the poison runs its course Harnessing my hatred, I'm held back no longer by the pain Grasping, clenching, within my fist Crushing the vile saint of misery My hands are empty, no corpse to be found Was it a cancerous thought, a defunct in my mind? Its power, its hold on me Finally relinquished Banished Vanquished
