Credulity 03:42
Flashes of pouring flames Tame the light Runs down through my veins Tame the light Thrills taking the reins Feel the rush of Spectralight Scenes before my Eyes Blur your sight Perception made of lies Blur you sight Corruption of our Minds The Effect of Spectralight What do you think you see? Too Fast, To Grasp, The Truth, The Ruse is far too Great The Past, the mass, dreamscape, from which you cannot break A shimmer is revealed Shine too Bright Blindingly perceived Shine too Bright Reasoning is hurried Through the lens of Spectralight The Madness rages on Lightning Strike Twitching lids spawned by the Lightning Strike You’ll be forever torn There is naught but Spectralight What do you think you want? The Lust, the Must, Distort, you seek to fill your greed You’ll bust, and rust, but never get what you truly need The endless blinding lights Together blur to white Alone, darkness remains In the midst confusion’s gained The canvas at your feet Lose the fight Layers of deceit Lose the fight The past is buried deep In the mist of Spectralight Death awaits us all End in Sight You’ll see it as you fall End in Sight To the light you crawl Cavalcade of Spectralight

Selfish Ride 04:38
Ducky goes fishing in the pond Fetches his meal all alone No meal to get only regret Shot in the sky to forget Die Die Die, Solo Pride Die Die Die, Selfish Ride Darkness is all that remains Got a ticket to the single lane Step into the unknown free from fears Pushing daisies to a torrent of tears Toad man goes hopping by the lake With Slimy skin and his fear of snakes Both Terrorized and despised Seeking a fresh start Nagas denies Die Die Die, Solo Pride Die Die Die, Selfish Ride Darkness is all that remains Got a ticket to the single lane Step into the unknown free from fears Pushing daisies to a torrent of tears Wheat cutter makes his claim Greet the cloak only to reek of shame Your ways have robbed you of the piece of eight Seek redemption, but it’s far too late Die Die Die, Solo Pride Die Die Die, Selfish Ride Darkness is all that remains Got a ticket to the single lane Step into the unknown free from fears Pushing daisies to a torrent of tears

Conformity 04:05
Look through the tinted shell Perceive yourself, can you tell So comfortable and yet so frail Your feeble mind tells the tale Dare not cross my sight Speak not your delights Rotting Innards naked to me Your Diluted reality Snake Oil Salesman The potion is your soul Riches, fame and land Always full but never whole Grit your teeth Lost beliefs Ideals to Spleen Dim self esteem On the run day and night, Too yellow to face your fright Cowering behind the mask To your skin it will latch Mirror cracks when you pass by Torn ‘cause you live your lie The real you screams in pain Pleads for life in vain Grit your teeth Lost beliefs Ideals to Spleen Dim self esteem Mother’s Womb Social Tomb You decree Conformity Little sheep hidden in the flock Stray away or be forever stuck Little sheep in the mass you hide Only way your mind can survive Grit your teeth Lost beliefs Ideals to Spleen Dim self esteem Mother’s Womb Social Tomb You decree Conformity

Humanity 06:17
Breathe in, for the first time And reign supreme Pray tell, creature sublime Who owns the air you breathe The weak outlive the strong The demented are running free Rules state that murder's wrong War serves humanity We bleed, we scream Extinction prime to defecation (kills us from within) Bleeding eyes blur your vocation (the dark within) First sight upon the world Already deja-vu Life streams around you swirl Succubus, hold your nature true Decay at your finger tips The golden touch you wield It spreads Devastation wither away our fields Extinction prime to defecation (kills us from within) Bleeding eyes blur your vocation (the dark within) March upon the skulls of your ancestors Cover the shards in the blood of wars Plow amber fields with your offspring Forgetful grasp to your grave they bring Eyes open yet eyelids closed Unable to tell friends from foes Eyes open yet eyelids closed Scorched earth to a tear that froze Through Ashes, life can spring let the Phoenix take wing Extinction prime to defecation (kills us from within) Bleeding eyes blur your vocation (the dark within) It kills us from within Humanity is the sin

Since the dawn of time Humans have walked the earth like the blink of an eye Despite our meager existence We are the primary source of maleficence Dragging a trail of filth in our footsteps The notion of survival an elusive concept Our true nature we fail to negate Murder death and killing born in and from Hate Ensure our impending doom, at an ever-increasing rate Anything to nurture our darkest trait, our darkest trait Why do you, why do you hate? Why do you, why do you hate? Why do you, why do you hate? I can’t see Why don’t you, why don’t you break? Why don’t you, why don’t you break? Why don’t you break from Your believes? Constant smoke from the barrels of guns Frothing mouths of our daughters and sons Know not where the real danger comes from Or in which damn direction to run We are torn to shreds as we wet our beds Locked away in the safety of our own psychological sheds Grumbling and barking at anything of harmonious state, Our rigidity never up for debate Transcend our animal ancestors as we create The pure depiction of creatures of hate, Creatures of Hate Dust and dirt kicked into the air, Hits your eye and you cry in despair, The stench of death pinches your flare Charred relics of our world left bare, world left bare Why do you, why do you hate? Why do you, why do you hate? Why do you, why do you hate? I can’t see Why don’t you, why don’t you break? Why don’t you, why don’t you break? Why don’t you break from Your believes? Through the retched smog that poisons us, We perceive our kin as envious, And treachery is what we advocate As we artfully regress to mad rabid primates Rabid primates, rabid primates Blood of our closest dripping from our fangs We took the bait, embodying the perfection of Hate Blood of our closest dripping from our fangs We took the bait, embodying the perfection of Hate Why do you, why do you hate? Why do you, why do you hate? Why do you, why do you hate? I can’t see Why don’t you, why don’t you break? Why don’t you, why don’t you break? Why don’t you break from Your believes? Why do you hate? Why don’t you break?

Boaster 04:31
You imposter Boaster State of mind, mind at stake Humility’s a mistake Property above all Will be your downfall Greedy blood, won’t stay your hand Nothing meets your demand Flaunt what you love the most And boast the disease you host Can’t heal Fake Heart Beat Better than the rest Better than the best When the lead is lost Deny it despite any cost Pinnacle of your ideal Eludes that which is real Speak the liars tongue Conviction ever so strong Can’t heal Fake Heart Beat You imposter Boaster Emperor clothes on skin Blind eye perceives your sin The wise sees through your grin Grotesque soul with raised chin Can’t heal Fake Heart Beat Don’t wanna feel Your Heart Beat You imposter Boaster You Imposter Boaster, Boaster, Boaster, Boaster
