You think you’re safe in the shadow of the monolith Can’t seem to find your way out of it You think you’re safe in the glow of your self-created myth Can’t see these paths of ours are closely knit Can’t see these paths of ours are closely knit If you give in to your addiction We’re bound for collision These aeons that I’ve been watching you I can see you I can feel you Best you lurk in the shadow still I can see you and I know if you will I think I’m through with the soul equivalent complete Can’t shake the feeling my counterpart’s a counterfeit I think I’m you and you’re me and we share a common wit Can’t tolerate such a hypocrite Can’t tolerate such a hypocrite If you give in to your addiction We’re bound for collision These aeons that I’ve been watching you I can see you I can feel you Best you lurk in the shadow still I can see you and I know if you will Keep to your shadow still What if it’s you What if it’s always been you Or is it me Watched and kept and captivated by you What if it’s me What if it’s always been me If you give in to your addiction We’re bound for collision These aeons that I’ve been watching you I can see you I can feel you If you give in to your condition (Your addiction) We’re bound for collision
2.	Phobia 04:05	lyrics	buy track
I can see me from a distance I can feel me from afar I think I need your guidance To get back to where we are I can see me slip away I can hear me scream I think I’ve gone astray To some cold and distant dream The voices around so weak The pathways around so bleak What’s left of sanity creaks The way to the light I now seek I can hear you from a distance Even though I know you’re gone You escaped your own existence Still you keep me crawling on You keep giving me answers I don’t know the questions to Your voice a thousand cancers Won’t be asking what to do The voices around so weak The pathways around so bleak What’s left of sanity creaks The way to the light I now seek The phobia clutches on tight The voices around so weak The pathways around so bleak What’s left of sanity creaks The way to the light I now seek What’s left of sanity creaks The way to the light I now seek
3.	Brother Mine 05:05	lyrics	buy track
I fell down from your arms I fell down from the stars And I don’t know who I am anymore How can you lay down your arms How can you count the stars When your oxygen is applauds If I would call you brother mine Could I call you to see my horizon If I would call you the bother of mine Would I fall to rhyme or to reason You kept me safe from harm You kept me tame and unarmed And I don’t know who you are anymore You said no foul, no harm I know I fell for your charm When you’re the last one to adore I should have been alarmed When you said reach for the stars And all the while I was there to ignore How can I lay down my arms How can I count the stars When it all goes down as before If I would call you brother mine Could I call you to see my horizon If I would call you the bother of mine Would I fall to rhyme or to reason Let me get through Let me get over you If I can’t get to you How can I bow to you I fell down from your arms I fell down from the stars And I don’t know who I am anymore
4.	No Signal 05:39	lyrics	buy track
Now that I’ve lost you for good It’s finally understood There is no me without you I feel I should mourn for you Yet I fail, it’s too soon I’m drifting right after you There were thoughts always left unsaid At the monolith of the undead Dire difference in point of view It’s my final turn around the Sun All alone, I come undone My deliverance from your residue Black noise fades into grey A dead channel without a light of day No signal, no will to turn back Your silence is my retinue It’s guided me hitherto No signal, no chance to turn back You’re gone, I must follow through Together we’ll get what’s due No signal, fall into the black Stay awhile, stay forever Keep still, keep together

6.	Made of Stars 05:33	lyrics	buy track
Stare into nothingness Glare into emptiness You can’t rise from the dark Bear me, I must confess Unheedingly nonetheless I can’t say I’d miss your spark Stay confined just where you are Hear the howling of the Rings Your impending doom they sing Viciously flouting your scars And here you think, here you think You are made of stars Spare me to be betrayed Share opulence decayed You have made your mark by far Err to correct your way Wear out your welcome, stay I have come too far To return to where you still are Hear the howling of the Rings Your impending doom they sing Viciously flouting your scars And here you think, here you think You are made of stars And still you think you are made of stars And here you think you are made of stars And still you think you are made of stars We were one We were fire We were waves We were whirlwind We were thunder We were dancing on our graves Hear the howling of the Rings Your impending doom they sing Viciously flouting your scars And here you think, here you think You are made of stars And still you think you are made of stars And here you think you are made of stars And still you think you are made of stars
7.	Of the Undead 05:05	lyrics	buy track
The lines have been crossed many times A consensual distortion of our minds A match made in the outer rim of hell Here we are in the eye of the tornado Two black holes denying all we know How can we be alive When we've already died Fear of death holds us in place Or the thought of changing constant pace White noise turns into black Still we are in the eye of the tornado Two blind souls afraid to let go How can we be alive When we've already died Under a sky turned red At the monolith of the undead Beneath a ground deep red At the monolith of the undead How can we be alive When we've already died
8.	Cydonia 06:02	lyrics	buy track
Tell me what’s to gain In dealing with your selfish pain Tell me what to reign Bleeding out for you in vain No matter how hard I tried to please you There was always something strange I couldn’t see through There was something unspoken, so unreal There was something with I just could not deal I can’t get past your cold Cydonian stare You blame me still but I will soon be joining you there (Cold dead stare) Tell me what’s to gain (Cold dead stare) In dealing with your selfish pain (Cold dead stare) Tell me what to reign (Cold dead stare) Bleeding out for you in vain Tell me what’s to gain In dealing with your selfish pain Tell me what to reign Nleeding out for you in vain No matter how hard you tried to seize me There were always fouls obstructing the almighty There was something foretoken yet I feel There was always something for you to conceal I can’t get past your cold Cydonian stare You blame me still but I will soon be joining you there (Cold dead stare) Tell me what’s to gain (Cold dead stare) In dealing with your selfish pain (Cold dead stare) Tell me what to reign (Cold dead stare) Bleeding out for you in vain
9.	Counterkarma 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Every sound you’ve ever heard Every sentence, every word Every scene you’ve ever seen Everything you’ve ever been Every hurt you’d ever feel Every time you’ve yet to kneel Every molecule of pain and agony Moves around in cycles Never tearing free I can’t wait to figure out finally What counter-karma has in store for me The force of fate will do me in with certainty No one else deserving such a destiny Something’s crawling back Something I thought lost Every lie you’ve ever blurred Every false excuse absurd Every single time you’re mean Everyone you’ve ever been Every sting you’ll never bear Every venture still undared Poetic justice sits and waits to be redeemed I can’t wait to figure out finally What counter-karma has in store for me The force of fate will do me in with certainty No one else deserving such a destiny I can’t wait (Something’s crawling back) Force of fate (Something I thought lost) No one else (Something’s crawling back) No one else (Something I thought lost)

Should've known this place would tear us all apart Coming here has made us fear us from the start Might have known this face can't hide a shattered heart All the secrets sworn deterring our depart Don't let them take me Don't let them in Don't let them fake me Don't let them win Now the time has come to strip away our masks In a dying light of lies the fake me basks The false familiar will ridicule and reave It's very clear they'll never let us leave Unnerving masquerade Fake faces in a sham far too well played They'll never let us leave They will not let us leave Don't let them take me Don't let them in Don't let them fake me Don't let them win If you see it in the corner of your eye Then it's all to late to even say goodbye If you see me taken by that bloody thirst Do the merciful and see that I die first Unnerving masquerade Fake faces in a sham far too well played They'll never let us leave They will not let us leave Should've known this place would tear us all apart Coming here has made us fear us from the start The false familiar will ridicule and reave It's very clear they'll never let us leave Don't let them take me Don't let them in Don't let them fake me Don't let them win Don't let them take me Don't let them in Don't let them fake me Don't let them win

They're closing in on me They're catching up, they're drawing near They're creeping up on me As they do you need to see It was never meant to be Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come They're moving in on me They're coming close, they're almost here They're surrounding me It's impossible to flee Far too late to bend the knee Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Your every cell is screaming where the trail of dead will lead There is a time to run, there was a time to heed Your private hell is seeing where those bailed of dread still bleed The time has come, hope to die before they feed Your every cell is screaming where the trail of dead will lead There is a time to run, there was a time to heed Your private hell is seeing where those bailed of dread still bleed The time has come, hope to die before they feed Here they come They're closing in on me They're catching up, they're drawing near They're creeping up on me They're moving in on me They're coming close, they're almost here They're surrounding me It's impossible to flee Far too late to bend the knee
12.	Dreaming of Dying 05:15	lyrics	buy track
Everything good dies here Even the stars The misunderstood lie here We won't get far Never the truthful fear Go hide your scars Everything you hold dear Gets torn apart Torn apart Torn apart Weather me just this once more Please let me stay Never again or before Please let me stay Tether me down to hold My drifting away Whether down or up I'm shifting astray There will be times Once fallen, you stay beat Forgetting how To get back on to your feet I'm dreaming of dying When there's nothing to lose I'm dreaming of dying When I've used my last excuse I liked the ripe feeling of her kiss Especially as she was dead to me Oh what bliss I'm dreaming of dying When there's nothing to lose I'm dreaming of dying When I've used my last excuse
