01. Berzerker - Lyrics:
On your guard as you lurk along the sand
A paper face won't mask your fear
Unrelenting consequences for this inquisition
Venture forth and give yourself away with the scent of unfamiliarity
For razor teeth love their human silk
They long to savor unexpecting flesh
To drink a carcass dry is to taste the Sunderban
Mighty one, never forget, never forget why your skin is thick
Die defending that which your heart keeps closest
The taste of vengeance is so much sweeter on the blackest of lips
The wind whispers trespass, a call for an end
Take up your arms, set your sights
Never fear, there's always more blood
Retaliate!
At ease mighty one, this war is not one of your own
The king returns to claim his throne
A humble crown adorns his noble brow
As the killing season comes to a close
Take what's left and start again
As you strive to regain all aspects of your grief ridden life
Living each day with strength found in your heart.
02. Drifts - Lyrics:
Oh, so fucking cold
The winds, the drifts of winter
Bonechilling nightfall
Early evening sundowns
Make nights seem more like borealis dreams
My roots run deep, through veins, my ancestry
Everything I know, in body and soul
Lakeland
Look to the river rushing
Unparalleled its power
It carves away at the land
Eroding the banks, consuming the sands
And washes away to her majesty
They say, there's no other place like home, and they said it best
I've realized what this place means to me, Lakeland
I can see my reflection in the land, I see my form
And I know the land reflects in my self
It reflects in my self.
On your guard as you lurk along the sand
A paper face won't mask your fear
Unrelenting consequences for this inquisition
Venture forth and give yourself away with the scent of unfamiliarity
For razor teeth love their human silk
They long to savor unexpecting flesh
To drink a carcass dry is to taste the Sunderban
Mighty one, never forget, never forget why your skin is thick
Die defending that which your heart keeps closest
The taste of vengeance is so much sweeter on the blackest of lips
The wind whispers trespass, a call for an end
Take up your arms, set your sights
Never fear, there's always more blood
Retaliate!
At ease mighty one, this war is not one of your own
The king returns to claim his throne
A humble crown adorns his noble brow
As the killing season comes to a close
Take what's left and start again
As you strive to regain all aspects of your grief ridden life
Living each day with strength found in your heart.

03. Cursing Akhenaten - Lyrics:
Awaken, ruinous fiend of early generations
Your rotting corpse is restored
Straighten your limbs, brush off the dust
Withered bandages restrain you no more
Severed heads accent the gates
Bones emerge from the sands
Proof of your reign remains
I, your liege, now command your rule again
The sun burns through the skin, boiling vital organs within
But the gods can't destroy my cursed, blackened heart
Appeasing the thirst of the damned, mocking the praised ones
The sand soaks the blood, the blood flows like wine, send death from above
Locusts and famine engulfing your race, my savagery knows no end
At the price of all your lives, I destroy your kind, death by my hand
Sands blowing across cursed lands
Will consume the evidence of your ancient existence
The Earth is now black from the torment I have set upon it
All shall bow, serve, and praise thy name.
Awaken, ruinous fiend of early generations

The sun burns through the skin, boiling vital organs within
But the gods can't destroy my cursed, blackened heart
Appeasing the thirst of the damned, mocking the praised ones
The sand soaks the blood, the blood flows like wine, send death from above
Locusts and famine engulfing your race, my savagery knows no end
At the price of all your lives, I destroy your kind, death by my hand
Sands blowing across cursed lands
Will consume the evidence of your ancient existence
The Earth is now black from the torment I have set upon it
All shall bow, serve, and praise thy name.
04. Rareform - Lyrics:
A thousand times, too many times
I've fallen back out of place from a dream
The bright sunlight, a rude awakening
Like I'm seeing the colors leave the brush for the wall...
That's when, into...
I reach into memories
I long to relive those times
Those younger days
If only time would stop, stand still
Maybe I could see myself
What I've become, it's sickening, this isn't me
No turning back now
No turning around
I'm disappearing into my dream
I'm vanishing into the air
Liberation, I'm free from all of this
Now I must go, now I must go, dissipate into the lights...
A thousand times, too many times
I've fallen back out of place from a dream
The bright sunlight, a rude awakening
Like I'm seeing the colors leave the brush for the wall...
That's when, into...
I reach into memories
I long to relive those times
Those younger days
If only time would stop, stand still
Maybe I could see myself
What I've become, it's sickening, this isn't me
No turning back now
No turning around
I'm disappearing into my dream
I'm vanishing into the air
Liberation, I'm free from all of this
Now I must go, now I must go, dissipate into the lights...
05. Aspiration - Lyrics:
Victim of anger, tied to distance
Where does it come from?
Distrust
I've stood strong
Held my head high through constant war
So brutal, so violent
So I tiptoe through conversation
A lapse in my step is misperceived
Unleash a breath of salvation
In dormancy lies everlasting
Remember all the fires we started?
Our aspirations for progression
We feed the burning for a better day
Don't let your selfishness extinguish the flame
Prevailing with lasting intentions
Never living behind your back
Never living behind your...
Convictions leave me questioning
If you've been living behind mine.
Victim of anger, tied to distance
Where does it come from?
Distrust
I've stood strong
Held my head high through constant war
So brutal, so violent
So I tiptoe through conversation
A lapse in my step is misperceived
Unleash a breath of salvation
In dormancy lies everlasting
Remember all the fires we started?
Our aspirations for progression
We feed the burning for a better day
Don't let your selfishness extinguish the flame
Prevailing with lasting intentions
Never living behind your back
Never living behind your...
Convictions leave me questioning
If you've been living behind mine.
06. The Fractal Effect - Lyrics:
This is where you pick yourself up, brush off the ashes
Clear the smoke and soot from your eyes
Their word brings desperation, just look around you
Renewed visions reveals the lies
My truth will be my own
My truth will be my own
You say it doesn't matter, get used to fear
I tell you, that's the problem
Get used to the lies
They mislead your pride
You blind them with your light
Jut strand this from the mind
You say it doesn't matter, get used to fear
I tell you, that's the problem
What it's done to you, the way you live your life
Pick yourself up
What it's done to you, the way you live your life
An empty state of bliss, an empty state of mind
A state of empty bliss pulled into the depths
Dragged out with the tide
My truth will be my own and not the one they gave me
My truth will be my own and not the one that they gave me.
07. Ometh - Lyrics:
I'm falling away
Away from myself
Away from who I used to be
Arid skin cracked and torn, I peel it away
A change for the better to harness the strength and rise more powerful
Now moroe powerful than ever
A decrepit self once animate, now abandoned and left to rot
Nothing to be salvaged, nothing to be saved
Now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist
Persue what may never come
Releasing demons and banishing them to the depths of bloody memories and regrets
The outer shell is decomposing, releasing a new upgraded self
Bleeding ink reveals the price of expansion
Push it down, it's hideous face below the water
Watch what was become never again
Let nothing stop you for when it lived, it showed no mercy
Now show it no remorse
Cut compassion from your mind
Forget what it means to cherish life
Now following the thrashing thought of your dream to exist
Pursue domination.
This is where you pick yourself up, brush off the ashes
Clear the smoke and soot from your eyes
Their word brings desperation, just look around you
Renewed visions reveals the lies
My truth will be my own
My truth will be my own
You say it doesn't matter, get used to fear
I tell you, that's the problem
Get used to the lies
They mislead your pride
You blind them with your light
Jut strand this from the mind
You say it doesn't matter, get used to fear
I tell you, that's the problem
What it's done to you, the way you live your life
Pick yourself up
What it's done to you, the way you live your life
An empty state of bliss, an empty state of mind
A state of empty bliss pulled into the depths
Dragged out with the tide
My truth will be my own and not the one they gave me
My truth will be my own and not the one that they gave me.

08. A Vicious Reforming Of Features - Lyrics:
Creator as observer
Congruent systems collapsing
Mutating waveforms to become sight, sound, touch
A sick perception is now my only link to reality
Scorched eternally blistering
Yet I prevail
My merciless plan of creation etails seeing the unseen
Forge an abomination with a cold hearted sense of compassion, devastation
Thy vicious modus operandi
Observer as creator
Beguiling unstable electric forms
These fools of judgment, they thirst for unpute
Draining a carcass, devour the contaminate and filth that roams amongst us
Sterilizing our human forms
Shredding tissue, fracturing bone
Burning synapse, rewriting conscious
A burial reforming of features
A hideous cleansing of God
Self purification achieved when whats left behind is devoid of deformations.
Creator as observer
Congruent systems collapsing
Mutating waveforms to become sight, sound, touch
A sick perception is now my only link to reality
Scorched eternally blistering
Yet I prevail
My merciless plan of creation etails seeing the unseen
Forge an abomination with a cold hearted sense of compassion, devastation
Thy vicious modus operandi
Observer as creator
Beguiling unstable electric forms
These fools of judgment, they thirst for unpute
Draining a carcass, devour the contaminate and filth that roams amongst us
Sterilizing our human forms
Shredding tissue, fracturing bone
Burning synapse, rewriting conscious
A burial reforming of features
A hideous cleansing of God
Self purification achieved when whats left behind is devoid of deformations.
