A world with emptiness surrounding So many haunted people, we are all drowning In our infinite greed, the jealousy, the hate that we hold within Fortune, fate, and restitution Rest upon the will of our generation Our numbers are dwindling yet few will rise Lost and abandoned hope Where seldom we know of those who lost the most Chorus: Grasping, clawing at every last scrap Like vultures to a carcass left rotting for dead Blindfolds won't comfort me, I've seen what we lack We built this hell for ourselves, there is no turning back I bring to life these dreams of mine Without a blessing, without a right I'll never fade 'til my lungs give way to decay Restless streets raise a needle to the vein of a man in mundane Always pining never searching for a cure This was my worst fear (Chorus) I haven't been through a failed life I've been through a failed death in its prime Maybe there's a reason my wounds never close I didn't choose that I was chose Maybe letting strangers pick my scabs Will always be embedded in my bones Grasping, clawing at every last scrap Like vultures to a carcass left rotting, left rotting for dead Blindfolds will not comfort me, I've seen what we lack We built this hell for ourselves

Now the curtain's fallen It can't be taken back You cannot run from what can't be unseen Judgement without innovation is as fuel is to fire Hopelessly obsessing over what could or might have been You think you're no longer blind but I'll be the one to show the extent of the scars you've sewn With death in your eyes we'll wait and see how far you will go (I know you've seen it What I refuse to acknowledge will cease to exist How long are you going to continue to feign ignorance Plague me with your sight no longer The time for trepidation has long since passed My actions will speak for themselves Look behind you Please stop It's here) Walk with me Forget what you think you can do What you thought you knew And walk with me Break the cycle and escape this path Draw a line between future and past What can our lives still be There's another reason that you're with me Chorus: Far though we fall, strong we break through it all Paths we'll see taking hold of me Blacken my eyes, open my ears to the sound of change And leave my name Waiting with baited breath, this is your last chance To make good on every word you've said Bright lights in the face of your pretentious guise Your world of mist and smoke is dead A line holds fast between our minds A place is held for me in the waking world Take heart for the die is cast We'll fly at last Baited by the sound of every scream you hear I alone am the prophet of this fallen world Pride is as destructive as the world you fear Identify the persistence of life and irony (Chorus) Walk with me Forget what you think you can do What you thought you knew Forget what you think you can do What you thought you knew And walk with me Forget what you think you can do What you thought you knew Forget what you think you can do What you thought you knew And walk with me

All hail the savior Now you'll show me what I need to see The path you walk is paved with your intentions One of seven is enough to fall Go forth your kingdom waits before you Now my reign begins I'll show you weakness, I'll show you hate And the choice will be yours to make Watch what you pray for What of your strife when your own life you can't save I've watched this scene unfold upon me You share a state of mind with the ignorant eyes Connect the circuits of our conscience and illuminate the skies What purgatory doesn't show lays claim over what we know And begs us to let go Fiction now exposed Cast your doubts aside Forgo conviction and continue as my guide I am infinite An end will come to those who walk the story's pages Then look We have so much more to see I've set the stage for your selfless endeavor Two souls, examples of your soldiers of light Approaching death though one's body I will not take with me You asked for this now tell me who will you save How can you wage a war against existence When existence holds you back And how can you stake a claim in your new order With the screams of innocents behind your back What will you do, what can you do I am your gun, your will be done (x2) What will you do What can you do (x3) You said that you weren't afraid to walk in Hell I've given you the power that you asked for So embark on your crusade, I'll watch the world be reborn Take it back, take it all back Reality takes form as your new nightmare Never will you wake I've shown you weakness, I've shown you hate And the choice now is yours to make I am your gun, your will be done How do you like playing God

The death of a thought to rival my notions As waves crash around me, a spectacle in motion Cosmic figures in harmony forever deforming unity Catastrophic inception of fate suggests a willingness to recreate This task that's set before me here Is one of ultimate consequence What of the choice I make when who will mourn A life relative to a great picture You aim to halt my stance but life will be born again Chorus: Compassion calls us all to be who we are The strong invest in what we see While hesitation hinders what we strive to be Stand proud and tall upon our failures Pushing further on the path unwinding Finding solace in the arms of the rising sun (Make your choice) but how am I to know (Confirm your claim) what right is it of mine to bestow Now is the moment I crush your resolve Enable your senses and let fear evolve My hands forever stained (A stain will wash away) A life not my own but forever remembered I am my own enabler Bathe in their blood, we'll watch them writhe Pave the way to your endless prophecy Fate's will recalled, the empire will fall I will kill with these hands yet my soul remains Clear of the weight of a conscience Let me be the one to initiate the purge Of this infernal sphere (Chorus) Pushing further on the path unwinding Bathe in their blood, I'll watch them writhe Pave the way to my endless prophecy

A life of involuntary interaction Defining destinies of those who define you A vast array of intertwining consciousness Combats the stigma of the world we knew Reality is relative to expectation Perpetuating fear and apprehensive tendencies An entity cannot be valued by its faults alone A broken finger will not retire the arm While there will be opposition The very darkness we despise necessitates a will To fight the endless night A motive found underneath the scattered remains of my perception Efflorescent arguments to live Action overwhelms a painful existence Forever enforcing your new found ideals Intentions aside, your methods speak infinite volumes If blood is to be spilled, it must flow from the hands Of the perpetrator and into the veins of the propagator Dismantling infrastructure kills the regime A kingdom reborn Disconnect from the world in your head Inspire the drowning spirits Those who cling at the mouth of the endless void A palace lies beyond the Sun A seat at the edge of the universe waiting for us Follow the light, though stray not from the path in sight A new cycle of existence commences upon your will Prepare to engage (Celestial structures finally begin to align Though recognize the paths that you chose not to take For you are only one of many misguided souls)
