Locust 06:44
In this trial Failure is foreseen As a dark swarm embracing Hiding Deep beneath the shades Of iniquity Truth must prevail Shattered way down Swallowing distracted intentions From a blissful soul Wanting nothing more than To be set free Knowing nothing but the only truth Beyond mere causality Farewell to all We walk amidst the fallen The lost who never found truth nor peace Their will broken and rotten down Their souls were better forgotten Left behind mercilessly Laying with their hearts wide opened But always unreleased Truth must prevail Without consequence Or willingness to advance towards the abyss Falling down a fantasized dimension Escaping the void Dreams are destroyed Within coping mechanisms Their souls were never forgotten Left behind mercilessly Lying with their hearts wide opened Sanity lost The swarm spreads opened wide Inflicting self doubt and guilt and shame Created to deviate us from the real Falling down on a fantasized dimension A fear designed to demonize our will and rationality Foreshadowing a rageful reaction Escape the void Dreams are destroyed Within and without coping mechanisms On an imaginary betrayal which never transpired Truth must prevail Without consequence Or willingness to advance Their souls were better forgotten Left behind mercilessly Unreleased

Headspace 07:12
Sitting here alone Breathing through the storm Searching for healing Expanding the mind Reaching out for answers Hoping to find Paths lay in our mind Thought layers built within thick walls Reaching to heal, searching for peace We reach within our own Try to process all the hurt inside Fight through ghosts and memories Scars from a wounded mind Eyes shut, breathing slowly Finding the pace to navigate the fortress Paths lay in our mind Thought layers built within our walls Rushing to kneel, the hurt needs to cease True pain that we have known Black shadows growing, Leaning over... Gloomy, Unreal faces surrounding, A light escaping Standing, naked, alone A fear taking over dark thoughts We know this has to be Fought through Fighting for us We know where is the light What we must redefine Now we can see through All the hopelessness We must never allow Ourselves to fall this far again We now know How far this broke us through Running towards the hurt inside Fighting to overcome In peace we'll become one Reunited with all the pieces that built us A venom spread through our veins, Attempting to turn us from the sane Unwritten path "Soul healing may be seen as a deep psychological and spiritual path with the focus on aligning you with your True Self, expanding your potential as a human being. There's no such thing as proceeding while hurt. You have to live through the hurt and let the hurt go And realize you're the only thing you need." Now that we’re set on this path of healing There's no more room for confusion Setting the trails alignment Following the light The path for which it was destined Since the beginning

The Calling 03:36
As we come close to the end of an era We need to look beyond the mirror As we reach the common trend of ignorance and bliss There's nothing moving on All the knowledge left aside We knew there was something all along That we wished would never rear Its dreadful light For too long we've condemned our own Never thinking too far ahead Now we came to the end Of this thread We came too far We came so far away from our selves and our kind and we know that's all gone We need to find the way back home

Devious 07:21
5.
Pain is only one strand of experience In a web of human affairs and values As a way to transcend the intricate motivations That drive the ego and create the dogma, We search for awareness in answers with a Wider and bolder significance, Neglecting the flesh, aiming for enlightenment of the spirit And the truth beyond Time to bring into being A new conception of reality, A die-hard focus Erasing the old and reductive endeavors, An empirical state of connection. Skeptical claims of convoluted information Reveal signs of omission, Archaically structured Over fragments of memories and prophecies, Brought by worldly concerns, Listlessly ungenerous Towards our concept of self-awareness We’ll find our stars Waving signs thus far The mind stands clear We rise / We fly We prize / We cry We hide / We die We dive /We drown Faith Implying beliefs, Soul Projected beyond the frames of life as one

The Longing 04:56
7.
Hurt Unveiled the ashes Leftovers from the fight Scorning the projection Here I am now Facing the one true self Absorbing all the lessons learnt Travel through hell and back Screaming through the tempest Roaring thunders of guilt and shame Accepting the pain and mistakes made No longer afraid Not anymore No longer running Accepting who I'm becoming Nothing can deviate me Nothing - I said - nothing will alienate this process Learning from all I went through Transcending the darkness and the fear Rise now As on that we are Fight for The one that we are Hope for The one that we are Die for The one that we are Live through As one that we are Fight through As one that we are Heal through As one that we are Become As one that we are Rise As one that we are Fight As one that we are Hope As one that we are Die As one that we are Live As one that we are Fight As one that we are Heal The one that we are

Darken 03:42
Awake in disbelief We tried to turn back It's all the same It all prevailed With grey turned black Its grace disturbed... To cope with all the trauma hurts within Foul mistake Defiling sanity Crying once again To know what scarred the truth Darken remains We've seen the story's end Silence breaks All the entities rejoice Fading cries without a choice Heartless bonds renowned It stays the same Words have gone with it As grey turns black...
