Shadow Walk

We’ve crossed the ocean of pain And craft our fall with our hands This mind can take in the blame For the broken may rise yet again We plunder ourselves of zeal Pushed against the wall of our faith For now is the moment of truth The triumph of drama forged in our lives

Liberate your open wounds Still they won’t stand to hear your prayers Realize your faith and pave your path Don’t let your tear go dry Holding on to you, my dead heart Life, a paradox that disassociates the universe Filled with the pain and the mourning of a thousand saints Who don’t know where they are heading Is this the next chapter? Your manual life decays I’ve heard enough of this systematic inner chaos I don’t know where the end begins Drifting underneath my passion And who denies walking among those who, still hypnotized? Egoistic lecturers contemporize your weary head Drug-feeding feeble minds with sugar-coated words They speak in vilest tongues Raising fast the birth of hatred A newfound vicious realm Eagerly manifested Gather up your speed This is not your worst imagination And if we were to stop now There is no place that’s left to rest Breathe in the fume of the gods Their might is the presence of your light The feeling of emptiness When you realize that all you’ve got is pride But stand strong make the most out of this day Watching while you reminiscent The days that could be and the hours that would be Stacked up in that corner of your memory Remember not who you once were Let it go Laid to rest And as you storm through your wildest dreams Save a place for ‘will’ When the night was dark and the air so cold We brought forth the fire When the gods were jealous and the wild beasts clawed We tempered iron When the night was dark and the air so cold We brought forth the fire When the gods were jealous and the wild beasts clawed We forged an alliance Breathe in the fume of the gods Their might is the presence of your light The feeling of emptiness When you realize that all you’ve got is pride But stand strong make the most out of this day Facilitate the impossible The words of cowards and parasites They burn down in you, washed up and dissipate Burn down the impossible Pick up your pace and feel your dead heart beat

So I hear once again your self-righteous, made-up bullshit Blood boils to the extreme Drowned in your voice of arrogance Turned the pages of your words and silence, all that's between Tantalizing, puke-inducing I've come to finalize your act I move with swift to nail you down This arsenal will not stop me now And as you taint the world with your fake, compulsive, dying vision Witness your final coming This is your fitting end And you see in your eyes The truth distorted, blame the scapegoats Traumatized, you get a fix on the milliard souls, who bleed at your hands Sinners lost without the gift of reason Build up another lie Your only salvation The hours closing in Again and again you waste the sands of time Your own demise in making Cross-turned by the dagger in your hand A portrait of a broken man Powerless, abandoned hope I see in those eyes A creation in such vain You've become the failure of the gods Blinded and caged You cannot shake off your filth Naked and scared The aggravator will go down A total war is coming here The greater force will bury you Restore Build a path anew Resist The blade is an inch away from you A mind tainted by your treason Breeds a ground for discontent A new way of finding prison In the frail hearts of men The bestiality of men Destroyers of the mortal lives Distorting all the rays of light To cage yourself in dungeon deep The hours closing in Again and again you waste the sands of time Your own demise in making Cross-turned by the dagger in your hand You've brought yourself this hell to revel your seven sins A portrait of a broken A portrait of a broken man Powerless, abandoned hope I see in those eyes A creation in such vain You've become the failure of the gods Blinded and caged You cannot shake off your filth Naked and scared The aggravator will go down I move with swift to nail you down Fasten your seat belt we are going for a ride that will make you beg on your knees Put aside your excuse You will be smitten by the stars Witness your final coming This is your fitting end The pendulum is calling Your shallow world will collapse

Shackled through the ages of mistrust In a circle of the sick and tired rules The denigration is the price you'll pay And the sum of it all is the fear we face All those who oppose the inner faith Content with feeding off the waste Never seeing the dissonance in this world In retrospect, we’ve bled ourselves Towards the never fading wall we race Pulled out of defeated characters Contemporize, kill the vanity Your trial will mark your worth The roaring thunder quakes your heart The burning fire ignites inside In defiance, your might defined The contender shall arise Remove the lesser attachments No satisfaction of the snakes Recurring visions of the enigmatic Surrounded by the collapsing standards Know that you are built to make it through The sweetest offer in your compromise is the platform of your fall Too blind to see the higher grounds We're trapped in empty shells Hesitation will persist unless you slay your shameless ego The enemy will not retreat Reclaim your chosen path The roaring thunder quakes your heart The burning fire ignites inside In defiance, your might defined The contender shall arise The bitter taste of gushing blood And before their gaze you had to kneel In defiance, your might defined The contender shall prevail Further into the inferno, the body extricates Nobody stretched Stretched out their hands In your time of contest, they turned their heads Your thoughts are gnawing on your mind Drowned in a sea of false prophets Conformity will befoul your determination You'll never find your true self If you won't defy the laws and physics of this world Begin the eternal evolution Head on to the edge of your destiny Put out the flame of ignorance This confining abyss will forever become your shadow, entrap you in its walls

Caught in the gaze of the divine minds The proponents of these ancient shackles Draining your vein with endless pariah These manipulative, malicious vampires Negligence bred econocide Conglomerate sweat shop goods are feeding your masters Yet we can never make a stand And follow blindly, their promises of wealth In the halls of our idolized forefathers The breeding ground for them to justify their rights to rule Passing worn-out judgment unto others The sole mechanism in which their poisoned words are brewed Why do we mute ourselves? To simply extend the seconds of our lives? Which only amount to lack of serenity? Silence won’t free you Blend with those who knelt down All your life, you can’t see through The great wall of deception Caught in the gaze of the divine minds There’s no more escape, forget all you’ve tried The age of self-made man is all but gone And in your broken shelter, you mourn A line of shameless thieves In desperation, they chose greed over creed Whose atrocity, still marked in those who serve Dreams lost in servitude unto the blackened hearts Benighted souls swamped in hunger for rapture What if I said that our memories are not our own? Welcome to the dimension savage Where we lay dead What if I said that I won’t belong, use a language of my own? We are not parts of the vicious circle Feel your anger rise, demolish this hell They once told me “We are the liberty, we will not become subjugated” What of the agonists, where do they rest their heads? If their tales become the remnants of the past Somewhere, far away from here Would we care to turn ourselves around? Beyond the borders that captivate our Nationality’s a guise to make the meek oblige On which the true demons fester and age Your right to serve is a fading mirage Silence will not free you Where is your voice, once so bold? Silence won’t free you Blend with those who knelt down All your life, you can’t see through The great wall of deception

Raise your hands above the bidding for deceptive day has hence arrived No logic nor sanity nor flame of ardor A false compassion born The day they came abroad, an intervention “Save the spirits, embrace the hearts of ones who could never take a stand” A lie so delicate tears my inside out Was it you who'll be the savior of us all? Salvation is a product Its false methods, prevalent in serpent's mouth Let the guilty feed on the innocent The fabricated scriptures possess the mass population When you realize the falsehoods, it's too late But still you pray, repent and sacrifice Degrade your own flesh and blood A world of charlatans and slaves Keep running around in circles Worship one who’ll make you bleed He wears the hide of a beast The one who abandoned his blood kin, The merciful and the divine? Tattered knees and blood strained eyes Caught in your own suffering But no one hears your dying scream But still you pray, repent and sacrifice Degrade your own flesh and blood A world of charlatans and slaves Keep running around in circles Worship one who’ll make you... ...The blessed marks of sins in the name of my father And the return of the one turns the tide against us... Destroy what shall not be shattered I’ll risk another downfall for a greater leap And so the sky turned ablaze As I tread through the temple of ancient guilt, reflecting the past Sought not the clarity, guiding enlightenment Decadence, wrong persistence Awaiting the hour when fools shall be drowned Beneath the warm lights lies a colossal failure The tyranny rise again Sworn freedom back in our hands He shall tremble, shake again no more His presence replaced with burning human will This is a grand awakening For those who feed on the poisonous offering I will not become a slave to a lie I will not become a tool in this game

The thrust of right Stand firm against authority In this world I gave up caring for I found myself in the eye of the storm You will be condemned By those conquered by their geed Express your suffering Their blinded eyes cannot trace you here Doubt or silence, the unspoken rite Questioning your royalty Submerged in faithless apathy Still drunk on feast of the fallen kings The corruption, I can feel it spread In my vein as I seek my way On this map, I will paint your horrors The vivid nightmare of my world Will you set fire on this field of endless rain, Or can you serve and become your own savior? Still unable to make another move Deterred by this pointless war Flesh torn and scorched An everlasting curse And when you feel your world collapse The pressure, it lets you make your stand Why turn your back on all you've sowed? Don't hide your shame, confined in failure's gaze Let your apprehension feed To not have wasted Any sense we left behind They watch as your desire fade Life or death, no certain odds We move unseen through our impaired sensors The constellations of the prophets never showed me the path Running scared with blackened eyes With blackened eyes, over the wall The balance is lost Now can you triumph over the force of the system or invent your own? And when you feel your world collapse The pressure, it lets you make your stand Why turn your back on all you've sowed? Don't hide your shame, confined in failure's gaze You thought the cold put out your fire But I'm the harbinger I am the source of my pain The aftermath of the bygone days They lead my way Light the torch anew We pray that the gods guide ourselves, save ourselves But in turn we have crossed out all the truth Never realized the mistakes that I've made Never yearned for more or never less The gods dictate The fate is in their hands Four words of lies The man will serve, the man will serve The gods dictate That you must serve as if slaves will serve But we know we're creators We have come to doubt the sacrament of masters The lesson learned in two eternal enemies Identify the unfolding of true nemesis Transcendence of the souls to the higher place of the divine And when you feel your world collapse The pressure, it lets you make your stand Why turn your back on all you've sowed? Don't hide your shame, confined in failure's gaze You thought the cold put out your fire But I'm the harbinger I am the source of my pain The aftermath of the bygone days They lead my way Light the torch a new

The cycle breaks now Endless waste Those who failed, those who lied Those who won, severed more Why chase this absolution? Life began with self-perfection Living lies, thousands more Clarify and redefine So the plague is iron-wrought Not stopping, aiming for your life We've witnessed potentials but all has gone to waste Already regress is calling We've accomplished nothing because we can't accept What use have us now? As weak as a worm To symbolize your weakness, pain shows itself Humiliated body Soul forged in fake We’ve come so far away in our conquest Extending new horizons to find ourselves in our coffins, laid to rest This earthly boundary you try to crack and master But in the end pulling our disaster ever faster Who will care, when you share That you bare the same old scare And history never began without its error But in the end pulling our disaster ever faster We’ve come so far away in our conquest Extending new horizons to find ourselves in our coffins, laid to rest This earthly boundary you try to crack and master Until you find out that our flaws are meant to be, meant to be Even as saints, we cannot hide The limitations we’re born with Repeating same mistakes again That’s given birth by our folly They're ringing in your ears The whispers, blessed with vile lies Turned against their masters Lies you have grown and fed Mind you gave subject and strength We’ve come so far away in our conquest Extending new horizons to find ourselves in our coffins, laid to rest This earthly boundary you try to crack and master But in the end pulling our disaster ever faster Even as saints, we cannot hide The limitations we’re born with As the lord of creation we failed our only home We’ve come so far We’ve reached the end of the path in sight Can you see through the disguise?

Digging deeper into the uncharted soil Made no trail of the past that only left spoil Followed only the unguided scent of my stride A celebration of the fools And those who will not make or try an effort to make something count Rather live in the shadow of someone less Someone less than all you could be All of those words Which promise did they serve? And through all the self-defense have you found trust? So long we have seen But never cared to live Drifting under the gravity of apathy The most sickening thoughts are always found in one's realm To deny is to never be one with your name More voices will bring us down Like in torrential rain, you will drown All of those once friendly faces Nothing more than the ghosts of the past Revel in the pretentious chains of humanity A fragile chemistry Domesticated in design Not giving a second thought to question or to carry forth Cause we all walk alone We are the shadow walk False hallucinations are what they are Exposing your darkest thoughts An attempt in vain to try and fix the frame In pursuit of the misguiding flame The change in state of their minds They push you away Tattered through the howling storm you try to sway The voice echoes in your head (You have no more left to give in) When you are knocked on the floor The ocean beckons, inside you drown (Solemnly puts you in your sleep) Your hollow shadow is all you have To the burning sun you raise your sacrament of uselessness Only you can realize for unto their schemes it leads downward More voices will bring us down All of those once friendly faces Nothing more than the ghosts of the past But we all pray Revel in the pretentious chains of humanity A fragile chemistry Domesticated in design Not giving a second thought to question or to carry forth Cause we all walk alone We are the shadow walk Will you succumb to ones that will let you down? No we don't give a second thought to question or to carry forth Cause we all walk alone We are the shadow walk This journey with you and me Who scores the highest is up to your move
