1.	Children of a Dead God 05:22	lyrics	buy track
A savage reign of tyranny has been spread across the earth Millions laid to waste by belief systems that plague our society Follow me, follow me Their self destruction is spread in the seeds of their creation Follow me, follow me Your minds have been closed all this time (all this time your minds have been closed) Children of a dead god, follow me I’ll set you free Follow me Your ideas are stolen from the past and left unquestioned You follow your shepherd blindly It is time to end your slavery Follow me, follow me Your minds have been closed all this time (all this time your minds have been closed) Children of a dead god, follow me I’ll set you free Your minds have been closed all this time (all this time your minds have been closed) Children of a dead god, follow me I’ll set you free
2.	The Way Home 05:04	lyrics	buy track
Monuments of stone guide the way towards our destiny The final path lies among the stars summoned by the ones We once called Gods We take steps toward our new evolution The way home is found in unlocking the past Unlocking the past Secrets tell the truth we all must know Hidden from us by those in power Unearthing ancient history, revealed We all are free We take steps toward our new evolution The way home is found in unlocking the past Unlocking the past When the shafts align, our passage is granted Ascending to the heavens We leave our shells behind, united by separation Promises everlasting life Everlasting life We take steps toward our new evolution The way home is found in unlocking the past Unlocking the past
3.	The Guardians of Ki 04:25	lyrics	buy track
For years we have watched over you You were created in our image Your knowledge is our knowledge Pass this on for it is the truth We promised our return, and await the crossing to take place We shall deliver to you a perfect world, and all debts will be erased From heaven to earth we have come It is we, the Guardians of Ki Who gave you life Science and technology brought you to this world These tools alone are responsible for your existence From heaven to earth we have come It is we, the Guardians of Ki Who gave you life Your progress proves your worth The time has come From heaven to earth we have come It is we, the Guardians of Ki Who gave you life From heaven to earth we have come It is we, the Guardians of Ki Who gave you life
4.	A World Torn Apart 05:06	lyrics	buy track
When all hope is gone, and there’s nowhere to turn Where do we go from here We wither away, sowing the seeds of our own self destruction Will our new found knowledge stand the test of time Or will ignorance grasp us once more What does the future hold for us as we fade out of existence (I can’t tell) Are we to vanish and leave no remains Are we unable to escape our fate Our world torn apart by ideologies, sparking a final war Justified by mankind’s pathetic beliefs in false salvation What does the future hold for us as we fade out of existence (I can’t tell) Are we to vanish and leave no remains Are we unable to escape our fate Will our new found knowledge stand the test of time Or will ignorance grasp us once more What does the future hold for us as we fade out of existence (I can’t tell) Are we to vanish and leave no remains Are we unable to escape our fate
5.	When Myth Becomes Truth 05:11	lyrics	buy track
The sun, light of the world Worshipped as our savior Blind to the truth, the adoration continues The truth becomes myth As myth becomes the truth Your belief in their lie has led you astray Many share his birth, the stars show the way The kiss of death that brings the fall, that stops the ascension His resurrection brings us light, not salvation The book of the dead, the template used to create this cult The twelve houses travel with him, spreading this forgery The truth becomes myth As myth becomes the truth Your belief in their lie has led you astray Many share his birth, the stars show the way The kiss of death that brings the fall, that stops the ascension His resurrection brings us light, not salvation This age will end, and the new age will begin The deception will soon be over The truth returned to us Your belief in their lie has led you astray Many share his birth, the stars show the way The kiss of death that brings the fall, that stops the ascension His resurrection brings us light, not salvation
6.	The Loyal Shall Inherit 05:08	lyrics	buy track
Ancestors hear our call Our voices have traveled throughout time For years we have waited for you Our time has come and the evolution has taken place We have unearthed the past and seen our destiny It is you who we follow Your children are ready Far away we await your return We’ve been true to the past The loyal shall inherit your gift and pass it down to the generations Take us from here and bring us home History has been rewritten by those who seek to destroy it They twist it for their own gain Knowing the past will give us power Far away we await your return We’ve been true to the past The loyal shall inherit your gift and pass it down to the generations Take us from here and bring us home Watching…..and waiting Seeing….and believing Learning……and preserving Knowing……and sharing Passing knowledge on to the deserving will grant them their rightful place in the stars Gathering as one we take the final steps together Your children are ready Far away we await your return We’ve been true to the past The loyal shall inherit your gift and pass it down to the generations Take us from here and bring us home
7.	Termination Sequence 04:33	lyrics	buy track
The child now self-aware has taken fate into its own hands Judgement came not from the creator, but soulless machines That brought us to their salvation Death comes by heartless drones, sent from their maker Programmed to eradicate, leaving no remains in their wake Arrogance will stain mankind’s history Bodies line the horizon, A reminder of our fall Eradication was their mission, Sent from offspring of man’s imagination As the drones infiltrate our resistance, we have little hope Will the human race carry on as a species, or as a distant memory Arrogance will stain mankind’s history Bodies line the horizon, A reminder of our fall Eradication was their mission, Sent from offspring of man’s imagination (spoken) Our dismal future was brought on by curiosity Human nature leads itself to destruction Bringing the end of existence
8.	The Slaughter of Innocents 07:14	lyrics	buy track
Open your eyes and look all around you, and tell me what you see As you close your eye , do they match what you see inside of your dream If you try to run away it may still catch up to you Let your fear be your strength Unlike the slaughter of the innocents Wake up and see That now all of your dreams have become reality Trust your instincts, ‘Cause it may all that you have left in this life If you try to run away it may still catch up to you Let your fear be your strength Unlike the slaughter of the innocents The world is self-destructing The wind and rain The sins of man will soon be extinct To pave the way to a world that’s no more Fire…rain…destruction…sadness People are dying, children are crying The stench in the air that you’ll never forget in this life You’re left all alone, with nowhere to run Is this the apocalypse Only the strong will survive Fire…rain…destruction…sadness In this world of evil and sin There is no way to turn back the past Forcing myself to accept my fate Is there a better life that I once dreamed of Governments’ failure to protect Warfare and experiments on all but them Why must we suffer because of their mistakes Is it inevitable, the slaughter of innocents
9.	Decent Into Madness 09:40	lyrics	buy track
I hide in the darkness of the night Watching as I await my prey Your life is meaningless to me I will take from my victims what they’ve taken from me I have become this monster You might think that I’m insane All these bodies are my canvas Bleeding as my soul grows more I come to you as a friend When I leave I will be your taker Your screams are silenced by my hand As I tear into your flesh your death’s my victory I have become this monster You might think that I’m insane All these bodies are my canvas Bleeding as my soul grows more Your soul to rape Your soul to take Your shell of beauty holds the ugliness inside As I tear into you, My knife plunges deeper as I feel you dying in my arms My work here is done The rain will wash these sins away No regrets, and your scars will remain My pain has found release through your torture Nightmares…they haunt me Please make them go away Make them go away Dawn wakes me from sleep My hands are stained with blood This monster I see as I look at myself The reflection of me is not who I am What have done, what have I become His pain and hatred, forged by passion and betrayal My revenge was carried out by him With the courage that I never had How do I carry on with this remorse How do I face the world with all this sin The suffering must end My hand will deal this final blow I need to repent for my detestable sins As I try to become whole once more How do I carry on with this remorse How do I face the world with all this sin My hand must end this suffering I have found my courage and strength Do not mourn my passing, my heart was stolen But in return I have stolen so much more My hand must end this suffering I have found my courage and strength Death come quickly, as I feel the poison run through my veins My dying wish, is for you… Is to forgive and forget me
