The ashen lands disgrace the rising phoenix, who looks on at our plight Yet we will both refuse its duty, as we look on and never fight I've sundered friend and foe and innocent, one too many times before But as I look into your eyes, I wonder, do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? The world I know shatters before me, I don't know what to do The only thing I can think of is watching it all end with you The temple razed down to the wind and earth, nothing left I could restore But as I look up at the stars, I wonder, do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? Do you love me anymore? When the meadow blooms and cherry blossom leaves flutter on about the land I think about the future I had robbed from those who took my hand When the daylight comes and fire from my torch brings inferno to the shore I look up at the taunting heavens and think, do you love me anymore? The molten core condenses all my hate to a searing ball of death The supernova that would follow leaves me with just one final breath I only wanted those around to smile, like they haven't done before But as I look into the void, I wonder, do you love me anymore?

See 'round the earth, ripe for the taking, in here (In here) See all your friends, what are they making, appear (Appear) See what you've done, are you mistaking, your fear? (Your fear, oh yeah) See what's inside, see why you're aching, so near (So near) Not everything's your fault, and yet you try to make it so So just look right above, sprout your hellish wings and go Let me just say You give me freedom and I'll take it right upon myself to burn it all (Yeah, burn it all!) Untie my ball and chain, I'll see to it that everything will take the fall (Take the fall!) I'll hear the cracklin' and the shacklin' of the deities that made me crawl (Yeah, made me crawl, oh yeah!) You'll hear the cries out on the streets that they've let loose a vicious animal (A vicious animal!) Look right around, watching us crying, severe (Severe) Look at the stars, seeing them dying, revere (Revere) Look at the king, gawk at him flying, all year (All year) Look at your soul, never undying, adhere (Adhere) Not everything's your fault, and yet you try to make it so So just look right above, sprout your hellish wings and go Let me just say You give me freedom and I'll take it right upon myself to burn it all (Yeah, burn it all!) Untie my ball and chain, I'll see to it that everything will take the fall (Take the fall!) I'll hear the cracklin' and the shacklin' of the deities that made me crawl (Yeah, made me crawl, oh yeah!) You'll hear the cries out on the streets that they've let loose a vicious animal (A vicious animal!) Not everything's your fault, but yourself, you can't forgive So just look right above, sprout your hellish wings and and live!

APATHY 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Do you know that this is me, a shattered soul of what I used to be? Take what you know, throw it away because this mind is here to stay Do you know that I am me, destroyed the human I could be? Take all the things you used to know let tears that built up overflow Let's rip up the polaroid and take the worries of the past Forget our thought and dialogue, you know it wasn't built to last My broken heart had fin'lly cracked from all the cruel abuse I bore I'd think to leave it all behind 'cause I ain't what I was before Face your fear, what you endear is very clear to not exist And realize my crystal eyes fly in disguise of what you missed So domineer and don't revere when I am here, I won't resist My anguished cries will break my ties, take to the skies, the sun I kissed and burned away Like the Icarus, I flew and went my way To a new hope left to be a fleeting dream Through the maelstrom I had led myself astray To the future world with all the pain I scream Face your fear, what you endear is very clear to not exist And realize my crystal eyes fly in disguise of what you missed If love was true, then what are you? Or are you, too, a catalyst Out of the blue, far overdue, I will renew, what I dismissed and burn away See the ruins of my hate and apathy If I cared enough, I'd save this world again But my boiling heart succumbs to atrophy When the ember dies, who will you call a friend? There's nothing left for you to take This choice is yours alone to make Will you repair, or will you break Will you amend for your mistakes? Or will you walk away and show This is the life you want to know? Turn tail and run, from audio Just leave me now to die, and go.

INCOGNITO 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Waking up, in the world I cast aside, I seek the solace I left behind. Hear the echoes of the moonlight. Walking down the broadway, stopped in time, Will city streetlights pantomime? See the searing, blistering white. Do you think that even the worst can change? And if they did, would you think it strange? Is it better to have fortune come and favor you, or break the sky when sin would savor you? Will I live to see tomorrow? All the colours of the town had lost their touch And the flowers don't make me feel much Nothing greets me but the echo. Can the rains that pour down nurture me, let me return to apogee. Loosened grip, for me to let go. Do you think that even the worst can change? And if they did, would you think it strange? Just how much must I abandon to appease you, to make you smile and to please you? Will I live to see tomorrow? Do you think of how far you've all come? From when you lay there, lame and numb? Did you ever think to realize the turning gear, the everlasting, haunting afteryear? I'm alive to see tomorrow. From the ruins and the ash, I set my course With unrelenting, mighty force. In the visions I remember. From the distance I see pearly gates My trials done, heaven awaits. I will reignite the ember. Did you think that through it all, I could change? And since I did, did you think it strange? Time will never pause itself to let the evil fly Arise, the self, and let upheaval die I have lived to see tomorrow. I have lived to see tomorrow. I have lived to see tomorrow. I have lived to see tomorrow. Back to square one, left in sorrow.

THE TEMPLE IS BURNING 04:17
lyrics
buy track
The TEMPLE is burning and with it, fall my dreams The TEMPLE is burning and crumbling at the seams The TEMPLE is burning I trusted you before The TEMPLE is burning I won't be anymore Come in, please make yourself at home. Within, breathe in the metronome. I know there's more to these four walls. So show just where the curtain falls. The TEMPLE is burning there's nothing left to save The TEMPLE is burning why did I misbehave The TEMPLE is burning my sanctity will fall The TEMPLE is burning I will die after all Come in, please make yourself at home. Within, breathe in the metronome. I know there's more to these four walls. So show just where the curtain falls. Now leave, tell them what you all saw. And say, never to gaze in awe. In shame, rotting from inside out. From here, there never was a doubt. The TEMPLE is burning from here, I must move on. The TEMPLE is burning I will be no one's pawn. The TEMPLE is burning I'll make sure that I'm free. The TEMPLE is burning I'm ready to be me! Emerging from my shell! Escaping from that hell! Existence, o behold... I'm not what you foretold!

The place I called my home, I kept myself confined to. I would never dare venture away from safety. The TEMPLE was all I knew.
