The Raven Age
Album • 2023
This track is instrumental.
The breeding mutation we're fated to own There is no salvation in dying alone Fading to ashes for letting us in They're waiting to find out when will this begin I won’t let you in this time I won’t let you in my mind You’re a Parasite The new generation the fountain of youth They hide in the shadows concealing the truth Forsaking the elders in stories of old They learn of the future punishment is told Take me with you pull me under Tell me the truth rain or thunder cast aside There’s a place in my head where I can live in peace But first I must distance myself from disease This world is now falling apart at the seams And fortune will favour me

Fear is spreading itself through the lies And carving its way like a knife And now you're blinded by praise getting drawn to the gates Misguided to think you were saved But what if I say I'm not afraid And you will take this to the grave With all the lies you rip away To justify yourself I try to hold my tongue but it's not easy There's only so much more that I can take Infecting all our lives with what you're preaching What if I say that I'm not afraid Will you spread your hatred Blame seeking our minds to destroy Secretly part of a ploy for power So turn everyone 'til the damage is done This war secures your foundation What if I say I'll never change And you will pay for treachery No more emotion left inside It's buried in your soul I try to hold my tongue but it's not easy There's only so much more that I can take Infecting all our lives with what you're preaching What if I say that I'm not afraid Will you spread your hatred Gone there's no emotion inside of your soul With dead eyes erase everything and hope to start again I try to hold my tongue but it's not easy There's only so much more that I can take Infecting all our lives with what you're preaching What if I say that I'm not afraid Will you spread your hatred
See the lines upon my face see the detail and decay All from many moons and sunsets that have lead me to this place As our fathers said before take the leap then take the reins Or you’ll wither in the wind without a memory or a trace Time is running out I can’t seem to slow it down But the sand beneath my feet is sinking no one hears a sound Silent screaming never to be found How did I not see the sign all the water turned to wine I can hear now the voices and cries See the mountain left to climb see the white flag never flies because we’re losing the essence of time I won’t let you down I will find a way somehow As the foreshadow unfolds the prophet stands to take his bow History repeating itself now Stare at false horizons ’til the same mirage appears Find a wishing well and throw away your dreams to face your fears

The burning smell from the fires Washed over the scene And in this moment the dream of my life Destined to be (To be) We choose to hideaway from anything we ever feel To waste the time to think but someday you'll see The age of suffering because nothing good is ever free I see the future, it beckons to me Nothing is broken With each generation it comes back around Speak the unspoken Like you've never heard before, we've opened up the door I've seen the end of time And I've watched the falling rain And I saw the sun go down But nothing takes away from the pain that you gave I've seen the fire and now I leave to you these prophecies Will you decide to lead a life from these dreams And just like anything it's when you see then you believe But I've seen the future, now I want to leave Nothing is broken With each generation it comes back around Speak the unspoken Like you've never heard before, we've opened up the door I've seen the end of time And I've watched the falling rain And I saw the sun go down But nothing takes away from the pain that you gave In knowing the truth from design I see the passage of time And in these moments, these dreams of my life Destined to be (destined to be, destined to be) I've seen the end of time And I've watched the falling rain And I saw the sun go down But nothing takes away from the pain that you gave

I’ve taken everything you’ve said I feel it underneath my skin And heaven knows if I’ll give in For you there is no reasoning I don’t need words to make it through Lack of action washes you away Speak your truth it don’t make it true Can’t you see the wounds still bleeding You change your face to someone else But now you’re lying to yourself You buried secrets of a life that you once held Take my fear Let it fade away with the misery Too many times I’ve burned Leaving nothing left but one more regret Was there ever a time where we forgive and forget You can take away everything I am if it means to start again Another day to throw away It’s like I’m haunted by your past So bury me in all your sin and convince yourself it was the right thing All these demons they come from you This hell that you’ve created Look at me now and see what I’m turning into There will be a reckoning I know you’re always right Peace of mind is so short One day you’ll realise It’s so hard to sleep when you’re always dreaming

With the will to be free in this land of the living You can learn from the lessons that I write down and place at your feet Is it hard to believe we're not hidden by numbers and with the advice that is preached a promise to keep unto me And if you open your eyes you can bring out the truth in the lies Feel the air that you breathe and find out the path that’s meant to be Don't throw it away wasting in time keep searching for the light You're paving a way in through these eyes like a candle in the night Be a shooting star until you reach the moon And when the light is gone the truth will guide you home To live is to be with a need to feel wanted To strive for acceptance with pride to feel you can stand on your feet To make a mistake and learn to feel broken And with the acceptance inside you'll give out much more then you'll take Don't throw it away wasting in time keep searching for the light Paving a way in through these eyes like a candle in the night The time has come to make your peace For what’s begun will bring release inside

As the burning red fills the sky The blood is spilled of divine All the angels falling from grace never believed they would die As the sinner’s darkness befalls A glimpse of hope fuels the fire And now there’s a war in heaven tonight Gaze upon forbidden fruit two paths to take so now which one The great mistake we all must make decide divide Our destiny it lies within us all but these voices reside I get the feeling that my world is over another place another time I’ve fallen down at the first hurdle redemption only time will tell I reached the heavens but they turned me back sent me to the gates of hell To spend forever with the wretched souls of the underworld A coin for the ferryman watch as the dead men await longing to be saved The age of lies where everything you see’s not even real or right A circus with no end in sight façade disguise A simple truth taken before you have the chance to cast your eye Forbidden fruit captivating my mind Serpentine whispers create the divide

A silent night so unexpected unassuming Upon the hill their sleep was then disturbed There was a raid that killed most of their men and still they cried but nobody heard It’s time to face the truth there is no end in sight I cannot let them take my life tonight What is a man who does not face his death with honour over the edge we ride Six suns have set and risen no prayer I have not given This deafening silence is all I have but still I listen My heart beats on in yearning when is my love returning I fear the worst has happened scared to find I’m right confirming I lay awake with pictures running through my head What is my purpose thinking I’m better dead Love brings me closer and closer to the edge where I will find you When will I see your face again can’t you see I’ve cried ten rivers but it doesn’t bring you home And all the sadness and the sorrow left inside of me forever lives inside these tears of stone Sometimes I lay and wonder why my life’s torn asunder Did I deserve this punishment this storm of rain and thunder What will the afterlife be I pray you’re waiting for me I look up to the sky and swear I heard your voice just calling These tears have turned to stone
