There's no escape, I lie awake in my cell
I suffocate and rot away in this hell
Nowhere to go, so down below will I fall
And it's exhausting under it all
Under
The weight of the world
Under
It all
It's a dogged soul that rolls a stone up that hill
To grit your teeth and to harden the will
To rise above, break the cycle, the wheel
I dig in deep, grip the mud at my heel
Under
The weight of the world
Under
It all
In the darkened-black abyss, your weight will bear on you
Desperation forces a change
Recognize your recompense, you'll surely come to see
You'll face yourself in time
Under
The weight of the world
Under
It all

Draugr (Black Blade)
03:32
|
|||
Galloping hard through the planes of the damned
Gallows hang high on the hill
Beast-maker, blood-drinker, death on the wind
Salivate, gather your fill
Black Blade
Guide my hand
Feed my wrath
Thundering hoofbeats, the howl of the wolf
I hunt in the black of the night
Curse-rendered, sight-severed, hatred ablaze
Incarnate engine of spite
Black Blade
Guide my hand
Be my wrath
The landscape awash in the cloaking of night
Fearless, I rise from trench
The black blade must feed
Draugr
Draugr
Draugr
Draugr
Amass with the souls of the blackened abyss
The power exacting it's price
Bestial, primitive, calloused, and horned
Out of the pit I will rise
Black Blade
Guide my hand
Sate my wrath
Harvest akin to work of the thresher
Blood coats the back of my hand
The black blade must feed
Draugr

Grafted
04:04
|
|||
Scion of golden glory
Cast down, the last in line
Cracked under weight of burdens
Guilt of a thousand crimes
Wretched
Desperate
Tarnished
Slain
Savage
Grafted
Endless
Pain
Ensorcelled, ceaseless violence
Can't bear it's constant cry
Ten thousand souls devoured
Can't help but lose my mind
Wretched
Desperate
Tarnished
Slain
Savage
Grafted
Endless
Pain
Everything and everyone and every distraction
To cauterize the pain
Keep them close, but bear in mind
That I'll take everything you hide
From me, locked up so tight
Inside your brain
Come take a ride inside my head
You rather wish that you were dead
Or so it seems
To I and me and mine
I'm self-aware, I'm self-obsessed
I built myself from all the best
The parts of you
You swore I'd never have
Wretched
Desperate
Tarnished
Slain
Savage
Grafted
Endless
Pain
Wretched
Desperate
Tarnished
Slain
Savage
Grafted
Endless
Pain

Parasite
04:07
|
|||
Down here's the place you can find me
Down here's where I spend all my time
Down here I slither unsightly
Consuming, a parasite thrives
Call me a failure
Call me a freak
Call me the animal I am
I'll bring you to your knees
Can't believe, I can't believe, I can't believe
Got this way all on my own
Endlessly, I'm constantly, consumed by the fantasy
That all in the end, I'll control
Down here the scraps are all measured
Down here the weak won't survive
Down here it feels like forever
What's needed to open your eyes?
Call me a failure
Call me a freak
Call me the scavenger I am
I'll take what's mine, you'll see
Can't believe, I can't believe, I can't believe
Got this way all on my own
Endlessly, I'm constantly, consumed by the fantasy
That all in the end, I'll control

Fuel To Fire
03:49
|
|||
Don't you feel the apprehension
Inching closer, siren's call
Catalytic clock that's ticking
Beckons you, proceeds the fall
Don't you see the time you've wasted
All that weight, you've tipped the scale
The consequence, a lack of reason
Can't you see it's why you'll fail
More fuel to feed the fire
More fuel, I just can't stop at all
More fuel to build your pyre
Up in smoke and down we'll fall
Don't you say it's not that simple
Don't you tell me time will tell
An anaerobic, pride-fueled prison
Welcome to your living hell
More fuel to feed the fire
More fuel, I just can't stop at all
More fuel to build your pyre
Up in smoke and down we'll fall

Insight
03:31
|
|||
Searching for meaning in nothing at all
A pattern to break from the mold
Cope with the insight or to it succumb
And slip through the cracks of the world
Earth cannot reach me
And Heaven won't try
Hell wouldn't take me
Stared Death in the eye
Abandoned before
I'll be fine on my own
Infinite dream of the stars
Take me home
Miserable husk of the you, you'd become
It's not what you planned it to be
Planestrider, now just a ghost in a shell
To take back your sight, you must see
Earth cannot reach me
And Heaven won't try
Hell wouldn't take me
Stared Death in the eye
Abandoned before
I'll be fine on my own
Infinite dream of the stars
Take me home

Mother Of Mountains
04:27
|
|||
Like a vision I can see you there
Monolithic, free from fear
Absolution, to be healed of hate
Alleviation from this weight
In the distance I can hear your call
Omnipresent, ethereal
Beckons me to your embrace
Save me from this broken place
Mother of Mountains
Carved in stone
Be there beside me
Guide me home
Mother of Mountains
Hallowed earth
Bestow your blessing
Cleanse this curse
Mother of Mountains
Carved in stone
Be there beside me
Guide me home
Mother of Mountains
Hallowed earth
Bestow your blessing
Cleanse this curse
Cleanse me
Mountain, oh mountain
Mountain, oh mountain
Mountain, oh mountain
Mountain, oh mountain

The Path Before You
03:40
|
|||
Take heed the lessons learned, for choices yet to come
Face down your demons, man, you can't just turn and run
A stream of consciousness is all you've ever felt
With time, the fractured mind will fight to find itself
Got the past behind me
Set my sights off far away
Idleness had left me
Emptier each day
Got the path before me
Drifting in and out of sight
Circumstance will find me
Any other part to play this time
Days gone on down the line will soon be all you know
So what is stopping you from trying to want to grow?
Sometimes a second chance is all you ever need
Rethink and realize, devise your destiny
Got the past behind me
Set my sights off far away
Idleness had left me
Emptier each day
Got the path before me
Drifting in and out of sight
Circumstance will find me
Any other life to live this time
Once more the morning comes
An open, endless sky
We're only on this earth for oh so small a time
Take the time it takes to make it better than before, you got the...
Got the past behind me
Set my sights off far away
Idleness had left me
Emptier each day
Got the path before me
Drifting in and out of sight
Circumstance will find me
Any other choice to make this time
