I will shape this modern world in my vision unaware of the repercussions at stake build it higher, it must reach the gods I must prove my strength and ignore those who stand against me the smoke in the air assures my wealth let it remain a cloudy sunset it feeds my unhealthy obsession to control nature defying the planet is what makes us human anyone given wealth and power would do the same let it remain a cloudy sunset for I fear tonight's might be our last try not to fear these words accept them for one day will come when we will all be left behind

the smell of the asphalt on a warm rainy night endless shades of grey pollute the eyes every time you stare back I look away to my medication to forget a brief moment in life parades in metropolis a vision lost gather to consume control not willing beggars continue to crowd the streets the bloated only walk to expose the need to medicate is all too natural for me to have one small minute to myself in this fast-paced white collar bullshit world

Vigour 05:55
it's something that grows deep inside it does not see, it feels where to go entangling itself onto its victims only for a brief moment's time until the cycle breaks once again a lucid walk into my brain an unanticipated moment of clarity I remember this captivating moment it takes me to a place where I can see all take my hand hold your breath the mind can only take in so much more than you thought was real

the western lands the unbreached walls the sacrifice we ride, we take we've taken over the world our name echoes fear after every battle only we remain the great migration begins drawing closer to our fate this city knows, it knows my name its arrows point toward the sky the wind screams war I taste the unbreached walls my hunger for death ever growing I know the sacrifice must be made wallowing in my brother's death they took our walls, we took their lives I know sacrifices must be made as the trees take the ruins we all sleep

Feudal II 06:14
Since I was a child I was told about the invisible man in the sky that watches over all of us and everything dictating every movement I just can't take anymore lies I was told destiny was not mine and everything hapens for a reason who are you to know what comes after death who are you to preach fear, money, faith, control when fear takes over one's life you must exploit vulnerability in the name of a god fear is a powerful tool you've all been lead to believe for monitairy gain

Nar Shaddaa 04:35
I can see your eyes looking right back at me some things I can deny but the truth was never spoken through such primal words I don't know what to think maybe we're all clueless a vacant mile, a stormy night a vacant mile, vacant I can't pretend like we've never been lost in this grey light holding us back looking back at you some things are better left unsaid not a single word can identify what we've been through

these people walk the streets with no shame and no fear they think they own the world their ignorance will pave the road to their certain fate the day will come when we can no longer take advantage of our resources humanity will be tested against our greatest adversary the earth will conquer once more take the time to savour your life it can go away all too fast silent winds creep the vacant alley way the time has come, there's no one left it sickens me to think there once was hope and we threw it all away for our selfish needs as the trees take back the ground spitting out the infected roots the pavement cracks a vine where a child once stood it won't notice she was ever here we've been taken back to a simple place it never judges or speak against you it simply is, and will forever be the arrogance it takes to play god is all but admirable you can try to save your environment but deep down you know you've already failed
9.
I've said my goodbyes the calm of the shoreline takes me far deep into the cold darkness I pledge to stay here until the day I take my last breath no map can reveal what strays beneath the waters so deep have you heard of my fascination with the unknown the myths can all come back to life all too quickly finding the last unexplored lands time and pressure has led me here and it will never bring me back the ocean water never sleeps the sounds have nowhere to go and the monsters come out from the reef taking me further, taking me further deep we reach the abyss my escape proves pointless deeper in the dark the ocean water never sleeps the sounds have nowhere to go and the monsters come out of the reef taking me further deep
