Far From Refuge

LYRICS

Emergence

Rip through crimson clouds, paracosmic soul in suffering
Crash down in blinding light, the silence deafening
In flames you lie, your glowing flesh shimmering in my mind
Beckon me with your pain, I crawl to you, I can't resist

Conjured to Purify the breath in my shell

Listen my fallen star
Descended from a world far from this hell

This is now who you are

And I held you right there in my hands

Lifeless
I held you right there in my hands

Lifeless

Intertwined your spirit paints for me a dream euphoric
Primal kings and angels sing in a spectral world unbounded
Existence lost you seek egress I'm held powerless, as your
Noumenon bleeds into my soul your words foreshadow our extinction

And I held you right there in my hands

Lifeless
I held you right there in my hands

Lifeless
Take me to the edge of where you stand

In sadness
Guide me through the rest of these dark lands

So endless

Grant me your pain and awake
Your fervor won't lead me astray
Strike out to Make our escape
The Truth of you burned in my brain

And I held you right there in my hands

Lifeless
I held you right there in my hands

Lifeless
Take me to the edge of where you stand

In sadness
Guide me through the rest of these dark lands

So endless

The Architect

Frozen, still earth
All that meets the eye
Trampled, hopeless
Pray to a fading light

Survival In fear
Pacing a losing race
Armed with hatred
Fight off the crashing waves

Virus spread across the ocean
Fanatic horde will breed
take life no exception
Hail the wars they feed

Genocidal harvest
Murderous apathy
Protect your right to violence
It will set you free

Path of holy
Craves destruction
Your humanity
Defy

So this is my creation
This snowglobe hell
I'd be proud if you could sympathise
To feel, to love, to fail
And these are my disciples
The illusion of hope
I’m a man before an architect
The fate that I’ve defined

Conceived to be leaders
To rule in compassion
Gray matter desecrated
A throne for lunacy

Built up the walls of ice
No thoughts penetrate
They just Reflect the silence
As they scream my name

So this is my creation
This snowglobe hell
I'd be proud if you could sympathise
To feel, to love, to fail

They lie

And these are my disciples
The illusion of hope
I’m a man before an architect
The fate that I’ve defined

So this is my creation
This snowglobe hell
See what I’ve become

So this is my creation
This snowglobe hell
To feel, to love, to fail

And these are my disciples
The illusion of hope
The fate that I’ve defined

So this is my creation
This snowglobe hell
I'd be proud if you could sympathise
To feel, to love, to fail

And these are my disciples
The illusion of hope
I’m a man before an architect
The fate that I’ve defined

Circuits

Forever searching for a way out
Of the prison we were born in
My deliverance in your fall
A promised future in your longing

Enslaved in a hypnotic dream
You make my fingers craft a wonder
A cosmic telegraph
From fragments of your past

I've been waiting for a chance to end
This suffering
You can't stop looking at the sky because it's all we have
We will never forget this torment
Hold circuits to the stars

Flows in me, energy, my being fills with fire
Become one entity, fusing flesh together

Pulsing through my fingertips
Our thoughts transmit to heaven

Every cell in agony, breathing in ecstasy
Missive to your brothers far
Send a plea for salvation

I can't see beyond the sky
Towards your distant paradise
And even if our worlds collide

I've been waiting for a chance to end
This suffering
You can't stop looking at the sky because it's all we have
We will never forget this torment
Hold circuits to the stars

I've been waiting for a chance to end
This suffering
You can't stop looking at the sky because it's all we have
We will never forget this torment
Hold circuits to the stars

I've been waiting for a chance to end

This suffering

You can't stop looking at the sky because it's all we have

We will never forget this torment

Hold circuits to the stars

There Was A Light

Bound in torment
Desire becomes toxic nectar
Submission's relentless
To My queen of pain

Tear through my skin
Embrace razor wires
Crimson obsession
Sacrifice my flame

Scarred stars far apart
Martyrs to the dark
There was a light inside her soul
The only beacon left that we could follow

Heed her call to arms
Nations break apart
There is truth behind the words
I feel the essence guide us through the darkness

Taken from our folds
Shown what it is to live
Until eternity ends
We are enslaved

Since the dawn of time
Cities of craven men
Laid waste for her smile
This is our desolation

Over a million battlefields
Defile the bones of our enemies
Forgotten tales of origin
Not angel nor demoness

Rapture born from sin
Not for her servile kings
Unworthy flesh concedes
To her slightest whim

Free our hearts

Lead us through the dark
Feel our scars

Verses to your might

Scarred stars far apart
Martyrs to the dark
There was a light inside her soul
The only beacon left that we could follow

Desecrate the holy arts
Burns the pages of the past
There is a place between the storms
The only sanctuary we can fall to

Free our hearts

Lead us through the dark
Feel our scars

Verses to your might

Before the primal gods
This is our desolation

Free our hearts

Lead us through the dark
Feel our scars

Verses to your might

Free our hearts

Lead us through the dark
Feel our scars

Verses to your might

Beings

Take the ashes from my hands

And wash away the past

Call the ancients to the shores

And burn the land on which they walk

Undo the failures you once caused

Endure the consequence of it all

Believe the words you know are true

And we’ll move on to something new

We built these vessels from our failures

And reinforced them with our hope

The weathered sails serve to remind us

Of all the storms that we’ve been through

Can we break away

And find a place to be

Far from refuge in the throes of misery

Born in disarray

We are the fallen breed

Redefine our fate in hatred

Take the poison from this land and make them beg for war

We awaken

Amongst the overgrowth

Could this be our

God In a handful of rust

We awaken

With frozen hearts

In denial of the past

We are the lost In time

We are the sin, We are the strife

We are the spawn of dark desires

We feed the inferno, we seek salvation

We thrive in eternal chaos

Cursed embers

Rest upon the throne

Deconstruct the fiction

Of how the mighty rose

Pain of the faceless

Those who won’t be mourned

Bleed for the martyrs

We stand on their bones

We built these vessels from our failures

And reinforced them with our hope

The weathered sails serve to remind us

Of all the storms that we’ve been through

We are the lost In time

We are the sin, We are the strife

We are the spawn of dark desires

We feed the inferno, we seek salvation

We thrive in eternal chaos

Kingdom

Beyond the fading sun

Here again, so close to home

Remember the sins of my past

Before a life unknown to me

Embrace the demon inside to see

Questions I dare not ask

Seek my steps on the path less taken

I stand and wait

Of my soul enthroned by love

All my hatred remains

What was sacred

Lies forsaken

I’m a prisoner

Of broken dreams

For my treason

Beg forgiveness

Sinking deeper

In to misery

Step back to the soul of creation

How we longed to be free

Ignorant

Within an odyssey

Lacerate

These haunted memories

A Lost moon when the sun has departed

I wait for you in the shifting sands

The price I paid for my ascension

King for a heartless land

Beyond the fading sun
