Track Lyrics

The Light That Blinds Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A crack forms in the foundation
Well fault line through your defenses
Illuminating the essence
Once clouded by the myth
[Refrain]
Store bought conformity
Force-fed duality
I warp reality
[Chorus]
The comfort that you will find
As you remain hidden
The light betrays
Casting your true self away
You'll remain blind
[Verse 2]
As vanity possesses me
I am floating further away
Gripped by the belief in empty words
Driven by the need to prove
[Refrain]
Store bought conformity
Force-fed duality
I warp reality
[Chorus]
The comfort that you will find
As you remain hidden
The light betrays
Casting your true self away
You'll remain blind
[Post-Chorus]
The shell may wither
But the fire burns eternal
The shell may wither
But the fire burns wild
[Bridge]
You hide behind, cower
The light that blinds, blinds
[Chorus]
The comfort that you will find
As you remain hidden
The light betrays
Casting your true self away
You'll remain blind
[Outro]
We'll never find what burns inside
You'll remain blind behind the light

Enlightened by the Cold Lyrics

5 ContributorsEnlightened by the Cold LyricsWhen you never know
Is when it's always there
It seemed so clear...
The slightest touch
To catch the breath
It turns it all around
Single path that I can see
Emptiness devours me
Enlightened by the cold
It overcomes the torment
(What if I could bring you back?)
Enlightened by the cold
Enough to burn through walls
Built on anguish
Can I be revived?
Let it hit with force
Strong enough to blind
The numbness heals
My worth is only defined
By the nest disaster

Act of Contrition Lyrics

2 ContributorsAct of Contrition LyricsI feel the cold hands upon me
Recollection of my betrayal
My betrayal
My betrayal
It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds
I drift along suspended in shadows
Memories right from the haze
With sobriety comes recollection
My betrayal
My betrayal
It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds
It is the pain you create
That consumes your very soul
I drift along suspended in shadows
I drift along suspended in shadows
I drift along suspended in shadows
I drift along suspended in shadows
A specter of despair
Built on good intentions
It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds
It is the pain that you create
That consumes your very soul

Stillness Lyrics

3 ContributorsStillness LyricsImpermanence is always swift
Treasures of this world are fleeting
Our eyes blinded from the gift
Within the way there lies the meaning
All natures are pure
All appearances are empty
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
Consumed within unknowns
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
All will collapse and fall
All wisdom is treasured
All wealth is a shadow
Inexpressible in words
Embrace the stillness
Enless source, Eternal bliss
Absence of the mind is liberation

Ghosts of Past Failures Lyrics

3 ContributorsGhosts of Past Failures LyricsThe ghosts of past failures
Facing the reality
Of our own imperfections
The waves crash without warning
Overwhelmed and short of breath
Never able to escape
The bloodstains upon your hands
I am! Still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
I am! Still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
The core of our being
Torn out and cast aside
I never looked this far away
Never saw what lies ahead
In the midst of false comfort
The scars were hidden but never healed

Eternity Is Within Lyrics

3 ContributorsEternity Is Within LyricsMan has programmed himself to die
A death wish has been ingrained
Almost with out first breath
We are taught to expect our last
Science has done it best to choke off
The true instincts of mankind
Death is impatient and thoughtless
Mortality is a disease of the mind
Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
Lost site of the bounty before us
Boundless resource of please and plenty
Living for an intangible
In a future clouded with doubt
Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
One step forward is one step
Deeper into the grave
Breathe... breath of life
Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
