1.	Surrender 03:46	lyrics
Surround me now as we all fall To between the night and dawn We stand alone inside these graves While the world around us decays It's getting closer with every breath Tremble before me I bring the winds of death Embrace the fire burning deep within The beast begins to shed its skin As the ground approaches I see the fire We close our eyes Let it begin These visions lead us all astray Left to wander in this sunless space In the darkness we call out to the void Our cries unanswered Our hopes destroyed It's getting closer with every breath Tremble before me I bring the winds of death Embrace the fire burning deep within The beast begins to shed its skin As the ground approaches I hear the choir We close our eyes Let it begin As the ground approaches I see the flames And now in fire Let it all begin In desolation we now pray Our eyes adjust and now a pact is made Now we summon forth those we left on high Turn to shadow Now our debt is paid It's getting closer with every breath Tremble before me I bring the winds of death Embrace the fire burning deep within The beast begins to shed its skin As the ground approaches I see the flames We close our eyes Let it all begin
2.	The Crawling Eclipse 04:22	lyrics
Where are the visions of desire? Gone are the ones we defend We are complicit in the death, destruction and rebirth of this world of sin In dreamless sleep I am inverted Lost to the rotation of time Ever turning is the clock whose hands pull me back as the minutes unwind I am still searching for the lesson How can you find it? I'm blinded And you are seeking my confession How can I write it? My mind is cold Our lives are carved into stone We fight We starve We beg But who will mourn us when we are gone? How long can we suffer? Arm in arm we are marching toward war So focused on what we're told We don't know what we're fighting for Will we get what we deserve? When will the implosion begin? How long must we wait to be swallowed up and meet our hideous end? I am still searching for the lesson How can I find it? I'm blinded And you are seeking my confession How can I write it? My mind is cold Our lives are carved into stone We fight We starve We beg But who will mourn us when we are gone? At last we see the pyres Awake is the monster we praise We bow before it now and wait for the final stage We have long waited For the willing it's come to this Step forth, rise up and sing As we enter the ultimate abyss It comes to this The road that brought us here is paved with gold Come bearing gifts For the ones who consume us to make us whole Let loose the grip We are the last ones to see the eclipse Fear nothing now Present the blood and make your solemn vow Fear nothing now I am still searching for the lesson How can I find it? I'm blinded And you are seeking my confession How can I write it? My mind is cold Our lives are carved into stone We fight We starve We beg But who will mourn us when we are gone?
3.	The Architects of Our Demise 04:50	lyrics
We've caused a rift A scar in space and time Now as we drift This tragedy unwinds A cosmic fracture We stare it down alone This weighted silence Excuses crushing bones We grow tired in these dying times Our own design Our just demise We write our stories in stone and blood All along the way, never looking up In our wasted lifetime A lesson to forget Now as the dead stare back at me They smile in regret Black clouds now rise Ash falls from the sky My wrath contagious Destruction fades the line Our fated burden Too late, too great to share Unending aeons of embers and despair We grow tired in these dying times Our own design Our just demise We write our stories in stone and blood All along the way, never looking up In our wasted lifetime A lesson to forget Now as the dead stare back at me They smile in regret I bid you welcome to the world that we create Existence deals in absolutes and fate It holds the spear but joins us as a friend We put our faith in the one designed to bring about the end We grow tired in these dying times Our own design Our just demise We write our stories in stone and blood All along the way, never looking up In our wasted lifetime A lesson to forget Now as the dead stare back at me They smile in regret
