Half Life 03:49
Sworn to fire purified by the flames You wait and crave for revival Mute the voices that echo within And strip the soul from all that is lost Now the strong have bled a thousand deaths The pure and true will survive Anointed with the blood of the weak This is the last chance you’ll ever get to take The final exit is up for the taking Fight back the winter that pulls you under And carve the victorious path Now the weak have fled in solitude The brave will stretch out the light On the way to redemption Will is now thriving against every odd A savior is rising as prophecies told Syncing your step with the march The wounds are still open Now the weak have fled in solitude The brave will stretch out the light On the way to redemption Now life itself will cast out the worthless The price is paid The circle goes on Sworn to fire purified by the flames You wait and crave for revival Mute the voices that echo within And strip the soul from all that is lost Now the strong have bled a thousand deaths The pure and true will survive Anointed with the blood of the weak This is the last chance you’ll ever get to take The final exit is up for the taking Fight back the winter that pulls you under And carve the victorious path Now the weak have fled in solitude The brave will stretch out the light On the way to redemption Will is now thriving against every odd A savior is rising as prophecies told Syncing your step with the march The wounds are still open Now the weak have fled in solitude The brave will stretch out the light On the way to redemption Now life itself will cast out the worthless The price is paid The circle goes on Half life

Blind Art 03:53
Blessed be the son of nothing Raised in the gutter of earthly sin We fade to dust empty as our graves King in his mind slave of his own bane Paving the way to his own demise We fade to dust empty as our graves We turn away cold as our hearts Art the solemn Art the whore Bittersweet redemption For this I implore Blessed be the son of hatred Crowned as the ruler of virgin sin We fade to dust empty as our graves Pulse is weak sense turning hollow The script of existence now erased We fade to dust empty as our graves We turn away cold as our hearts Art the solemn Art the whore Bittersweet redemption For this I implore

Cold fears reborn in a nightmare that turns into real A pitiful stare fixed on a vision unborn The altar of self-sacrifice is dripping with blood Proving that sometimes the mind is weaker than flesh Spit out the sickness that binds me Images flash in a blink enchanted by stale irony Dawn is revealing a daydream soaked in the color of red Cast aside the chain that commands me Shaping form in front of my sight Thoughts becoming pain Floating in waves A rain of silence freezing my breath The truth reveals Embracing death Calling louder still unheard Opposed to the deadly alliance Of darkness and life A hand pointing south Foresees my demise Cold fears reborn in a nightmare that turns into real A pitiful stare fixed on a vision unborn The burden of truth reforms in the shape of a plague As time revives an act that never was Cast aside the chain that commands me Shaping form in front of my sight Thoughts becoming pain Floating in waves A rain of silence freezing my breath The truth reveals Embracing death Calling louder still unheard

Daylight dims in the wake of a vision Temptation at peace with the spring A liquid fate seeps from your breathing wounds In the cutting edge of a dream Naked and freezing now everyone knows Sick and confused as the drapery falls Crimson haze in the mist of her light The sky enthralled with beauty Eyes that meet at the coming of dawn Feathers fall from your wings Within seconds a whisper distracts you And slowly relieves you from sleep A part of your essence is cleansed With a promise to be reborn No sign of life yet life enshrines you And you are still trying to heal A taste on your lips so bitter and sweet To fill up the void in between Pale and forgotten now everyone knows Cold and alone as the drapery falls Heart pumping fast in the heat of her flame The sky obscured by the rain What came as a blessing was holding a curse Resting upon your remains Within moments the voice speaks again Replacing your bliss with a grief A part of your essence is cleansed With a promise to be reborn Life through death? Death through life? Who can really say?
