Nigredo 03:56
I shouldn't have to do all your work You say you're doing enough, I should know I get the feeling you'd care if reversed Excuses given avoiding our own Pinch me once with another's clawed hand Then deny that I tried to make peace Making sense clearly isn't your plan That's too much time spent not abandoning Putting just enough of you in To slap labels on, prominence leads Let them forget the rest or twist fruit Then lay claim to the biggest of deeds Wicked forgiven if gifts are bared Got your pride on the line and some luck Slide behind one more fist while you eat Because you don't have the guts to stand up Either you're calling me a liar Or you're too shocked to process this grit And I could show you to all of the stats You're only ready to bury this shit Oh you're in deep, down digging out bones Not to assemble, to play with their rot I'd give you proof till the star blows us out But you have yet to see what you've got Still...existing solely on marks Genuinely you can't draw a line From one point to another, it's true And I'm done seeing others stay blind I’m purifying the ground, close behind Your putrefaction’s bad rep to decay Forcing me to take action to fix What you leave in complete disarray Conjured up what you thought would protect Would lend credence to things you don’t own Now us witnesses take up the task (of) Revealing the death of your throne Let this burn till there’s nothing but black Criticize while behind it you hide Forgetting that at some time it will move Convenience will not stay by your side Wind the wires all around this form Electro nigredo, we’re going in Because the signal’s now picking me up Looking dead on to see what’s within Building up as the data streams in Imaging a new vision of wise You can weave while I do, keep in mind Gonna shut yours down, no more disguise I’m ready for what I must do Stronger now, you’re starting to shake You know, it’s only a matter of time Till my instincts connect with your fate Been catching you more and more, where the light slips in to shine On everything you tried to hide On each of your cold purchased lines Either you're calling me a liar Or you're too shocked to process this grit And I could show you to all of the stats You're only ready to bury this shit Oh you're in deep, down digging out bones Not to assemble, to play with their rot I'd give you proof till the star blows us out But you have yet to see what you've got Unknowingly revealed your code I know what you can’t resist Be sure to lick all the salt off your wound While I’m licking the salt off my fist!

Ascendant 04:41
Dark is a devil Girls interrupted Opinion take fact Files corrupted All beliefs welcomed yet Restrains continue Hypocrisy’s crowned and Ignorance-situ Not my god! Not my ultimatum! Nothing owed! No consolation! World of my life! Rejected human! Burned in the light! No resolution! Violence packs in Fears of revisions Break open the strip The spawning of victims Defy to be What you are not yet Containment holds What they forgot! Not my god! Not my ultimatum! Nothing owed! No consolation! World of my life! Rejected human! Burned in the light! No resolution! Don’t stay weak for too long They’ll enjoy the hunt Beauty prime Built by the same It’s time to graft Come splice the vein Program to rewrite Your tools are rejected Skills unaccepted Choke the light from the street Strains of denial Trapped, no retreat “Hate to control you” Waste time to confine Resources on curfew I am I! Source free to me! You get none without my say! So let it be! Not my god! Not my ultimatum! Nothing owed! No consolation! World of my life! Rejected human! Burned in the light! (Ignore for too long what exists) No resolution! (It will eventually take over)

In this coat, I have you covered You can see the glow, along the trim I’ve been working on this forever Looking out and in You’ve come around again My interfacing got so particular By outside, I seem so strange My inventory numbers not found But test investment, troll the net To see our worlds displayed I’ve got the upgrades you’ve been asking for Kick infused, the universe is at your door Ingesting time, I’m who you called for Sequences spun, now we can shift the fields once more Guess me right, it’s our transaction No expectations, then your trust secured Uninhibit, this procedure Frequencies on, we’re chemically insured These lights and dyads, speak in a pattern Watch me closely, in this decyphertron Sometimes the earth tilts, it takes us longer But here’s the deal, say what you want It’s there, you’ll soon catch on I’ve got the upgrades, you’ve been asking for Kick infused, the universe is at your door Ingesting time, I’m who you called for Sequences spun, now we can shift the fields once more I can fix you Just meet me at this space Crystal clear, the tides align Your order’s placed Dose unknown Gain amplifies the base Recognition strong (though) The cost is always great I carry all It’s what comes with me Every option satisfies When I drop by We solder seams when you need to reach me It never takes me long to resupply I’ve got the upgrades, you’ve been asking for Kick infused, the universe is at your door Ingesting time, I’m who you called for Sequences spun, now We can shift the fields once more

The Morrigan 04:16
You want this to be our mistake Charcoal luster, cozy down Angled right it slices well Claim to have my pain so you can creep inside Your fictional love is obvious And I need no placebo Wings out, into cat's dreams Will you learn me, better one? Have to teach you how to see The radiance beyond the spectrum Lift your feathers off my eyes Sweet raven, ask me if I… Let's tease the sundogs in the sky Just to satisfy As your ”adopted darling” I would know Your real battle plan Is to steal the show Spiteing as you make alliances Just to get the "in" Move and make way for the real night bell You're only in its skin Wings out, into cat's dreams Will you learn me, better one? Have to teach you how to see The radiance beyond the spectrum Lift your feathers off my eyes Oh my sweet raven and I Let's tease the sundogs in the sky Just to satisfy Take me to your dry lake bed where you nest inside With beads and shells, left in vacant heads beside Rosy drink in claw, you sip to share Oh, but you keep it all, you’re never fair You kiss me when I say no But make sure they see Then weaving tales of woe, they believe Hammer your glamour Till they’re swollen with pride No they don’t want to see over the rise So, I’m alone here With you by my side Wings out, into cat's dreams Will you learn me, better one? Have to teach you how to see The radiance beyond the spectrum Lift your feathers off my thigh Wanting more again Let's tease the sundogs in the sky Just to satisfy

In our guts restrains We ripped from round our necks Bloodlines are the only ties The growl inside infects Unleash the charging bond These risen strands ignite Traps set out beyond Beneath our feral satellite Thrash the floor! Ground dig the claws! Teeth bare us primal! Running loose! Let’s make a pack Howl, we respond Alphas we all Claim to belong We’re quick to mend We, the rending tide Devouring carcasses Of pride We are the wolf! We’re not the prey! They’re not our strain But they can play! Chase the mother moon Taste fear beneath our prints The streets are wild with waste where We raise our descendants Rendering our space Veracious architects Our signal strikes the weak Instinctively connects Urge to run overpowers, In this den of ours Torn along the edge Feel tremors low We’re closing in To feed on flesh Among abuse Shred withered minds Fangs into spines We have the hunt We’ll introduce Industrial Deep in our soul Dance dark the rage To set us free We know our own We know their scent This is our territory!

Catalyst 04:42
All the waves we travel on It feels impossible to find Connections and collections Of corresponding minds Intimate suggestion donning infinite expression Wired to accept new ways to gain reception I have an interest In our existence Some see only illusion Transparency displaying substance I have a theory for transmission Magnetism invoking response Preconceptions to dissolve The core’s a catalyst for changing Our system to evolve Allure along the surge Neural shocks reach out, are you there? Things in between, our distant hearts Expectation is inspiration Our obsession for care Possession for attributes Selected to repair I have an interest In our existence Some see only il-usion Transparency displaying substance I have a theory for transmission Let’s analyze the change within An indication of our resolve Together we’ll sustain Our system to evolve I have an interest In our existence Some see only illusion Transparency displaying substance I have a theory for transmission Magnetism invoking response Preconceptions to dissolve The core’s a catalyst for changing Our system to evolve

Follow roots down Past the soot and pride I drop away To the depths where hearts define Begging to be seen And happy I’m there The forgotten drink with me Petrichor our love affair No need for traps They’ve no appeal I’m useless dressed ceremonial Down here in elements I grow To depths aspire We know when names are meant to move I feel the hand is best kept anonymous They scatter leaves up high Stay the wise, Refined by fire There’s nothing here Endangered and they don’t Want my questions I can see the stars in the shale Why wait when I’ve Already placed my eyes On veins beneath With them I can finally exhale No need for traps They’ve no appeal I’m useless dressed ceremonial Down here in elements I grow To depths aspire We know when names are meant to move I feel the hand is best kept anonymous They scatter leaves up high Stay the wise, Refined by fire These liquid layers Are only found here Wait on no others to be clean I watch from here Sinking back into the deep Where they reach toward to have enough Digging wide To return And never arrive All come from the same Yet some give less than a second glance Create my own in constant relevance No need for traps They’ve no appeal I’m useless dressed ceremonial Down here in elements I grow To depths aspire We know when names are meant to move I feel the hand is best kept anonymous They scatter leaves up high Stay the wise, Refined by fire

She spits acid Indulges in the corrosion Encasing her prey in boiling salt Reading the morning signs That will soon be gone They can try They can cry Over hums that suffocate the sound Invested numbers sigh beside She lets nothing out of sight They can try They can cry Whispers pass over and through But none know she's there And seeds the drowning out Swelling it to mend Sits close to the molten silver poison Switches cold and hot She must create replacements When too many parts have been without No purpose - no room… They can try They can cry Over hums that suffocate the sound Invested numbers sigh beside She lets nothing out of sight They can try They can cry Whispers pass over and through But none know she's there And seeds the drowning out Swelling it to mend There are many ways to cross over to her (To the) other platforms she’s been to When she is quiet, they’re heard better After all, words once spoken (she’ll) kill with truth Harping on wires that threaten to sever She still winds them tight She's watching from the delta With red eyes sharpened to points by fading light Levels sometimes high, sometimes low But she always knows. They can try They can cry Over hums that suffocate the sound Invested numbers sigh beside She lets nothing out of sight They can try They can cry Whispers pass over and through But none know she's there And seeds the drowning out Swelling it to mend

End All 04:01
Say you’ve had enough Still you find more All our monsters on the list You gotta be the warrior And you’re there twitching as you sleep Eyes are open, grinding teeth Try to wake you from the deep It’s always deeper than it seems And your nightmare’s alive Battlefields neverending Where creatures dark materialize Shadow rifts ever mending There is so much that must be done I know this, I don’t intrude Feed the mission and do right As the long rest tempts you Sometimes we lead it closer Let it in through the window Try again to take it on With daggers under the pillows And you’re bound to fix it all And you’re right to want us free Hilt in hand, ready to defend But you can’t yet let me Storm clouds passing by Under lids on fire End all Be all No destruction shakes your drive You’re experienced in pain Serene in purpose, analyze Through our tears, all hope retained Pressure building cautiously You to tend to one, another bleeds Use everything to halt the flow I wonder how long you can go! Undertaking all for all Restless remnants bound to life And your nightmare’s alive Battlefields neverending Where creatures dark materialize Shadow rifts ever mending And you’re bound to fix it all And you’re right to want us free Hilt in hand, ready to defend But you can’t yet let me

One line is set Here comes the rest We always change Fates don’t exist In time, we’ll find We all hunger for our claim, delirious, each one Live beyond the ashes past, escape what never comes Pain will dull sometimes, clarifies the brilliance we’ve won Some claim to be the final mystery, but I’m not yet done Gray veil wraps us tight Illusions left cannot fade Rise up over the smoke Dig down beneath the grave We all hunger for our claim, delirious, each one Live beyond the ashes past, escape what never comes Pain will dull sometimes, clarifies the brilliance we’ve won Some claim to be the final mystery, but I’m not yet done Keep your eyes on my heart Let consistent value align Never isolating hues Always room for truths that bind Keep up with me Get close enough to judge right If there are keys in hands, they’re not mine I only hold points of light We all hunger for our claim, delirious, each one Live beyond the ashes past, escape what never comes Pain will dull sometimes, clarifies the brilliance we’ve won Some claim to be the final mystery, but I’m not yet done
