1.	Light the Flame 01:55	lyrics	buy track
Do not forgive us, For our actions, our faults, We are guilty, Sentence us to burn, Set us aflame, On the funeral pyre, That is our final desire, We must burn, So light the flame
2.	The Execution 05:06	lyrics	buy track
Cognitive dissonance, Of myself in another, This blood is not just mine, I am your brother, That is my fault, I demand my blame, As judge, jury, prosecutor, Please shower me in shame I must reconcile, For all I have done, For I must be better, In times to come I shall amend, For all I have done, Accept and better myself, By the blood in my veins, By the blood in yours, This bond of blood has betrayed you, These years of agony, Such tragedy, By the blood in my veins You do not need to forgive me, I have stripped my biases, My choices were wrong, Emotionally, mentally, i was not who I need to be, Nothing can take back, Two decades of tragedy, But I, I couldn't fathom, I was stuck in my own dichotemy, How can I destroy the ones I love? I can love, Such love, Such hate, It reached out of me, To my family (he's guilty), That does not make it alright, That will never make it alright, This apology requires no acceptance, You do not need to forgive me, By the blood in my veins, By the blood in yours, This bond of blood has betrayed you, These years of agony, Such tragedy, By the blood in my veins And I accept my flaws, As a human, as a brother, as blood, I am bound to be better
3.	Inauguration Day 05:19	lyrics	buy track
These dimming lights, These bleeding streets, This sardonic cynical siren belief, We have the right to be outraged, This backwards step that's setting this stage, We cannot back down No, we cannot just leave, Now we must stand up, For what we believe, Because I was raised, To fight for what's right, And I will not stop until the end of my life, The lights, They are fading, They're headed towards black, The dawn will come home soon, And with it comes our wrath, I know, it's hard, To establish faith in this place, In a den of ash, And harder days We cannot be complacent to hate, We cannot give up, On what's at stake, There are millions afraid, Of the few in power, It's now or never, Let's make this our hour, Stand up for truth, Stand up for lives, Tell me why would you, Ever try to deny, The lights, They are fading, They're headed towards black, The dawn will come home soon, And with it comes our wrath, I know, it's hard, To establish faith in this place, In a den of ash, And harder days Loyalty breeds casualties, The lights, They are fading, They're headed towards black, The dawn will come home soon, And with it comes our wrath, I know, it's hard, To establish faith in this place, In a den of ash, And harder days Morality breeds casualties
4.	Haunted 04:53	lyrics	buy track
I live with the scars of the past This constant memory Of all I used to be and I, alone decided my own path, A long lonesome road Over self hatred and wrath, I refused to degrade myself With guilt for what I know, I could never help with, I applied all that I felt then To words you hear today and never again will I Lie again, to those I hold dear This pain, this sorrow Repressed who I am I swear, I swear, that I Will be better now I believed that I could've solved this, How he'd still be here, If I was flawless I destroyed who I used to be, Through self inflicted wounds, Oh, the irony Then I decided to take all my pain, And use it all to help, So never again will I (lie) Never again will I (lie) Never again will I (lie to everyone) Lie again, to those I hold dear This pain, this sorrow Repressed who I am I swear, I swear, that I Will be better now I forgave myself, For what I could not fix, For what was not my fault, And I suggest you do the same, I swear, I swear, I will be the best I can be, I swear, I swear to myself, Nothing, nobody will stop me Never again will I, Lie again, to those I hold dear This pain, this sorrow Repressed who I am I swear, I swear, that I Will be better now I swear
5.	From Damnation to Deliverance (The Journey) 05:22	lyrics	buy track
I wish to undo, All I have become, My sanguine driven nature, My adversity to sun, I shall crave human warmth, Until I am whole again I refuse to return to the place, That I once called my home, Until I have shed this shame, this pain, This undying deadly thirst, For blood, This nocturnal massacre, Repeats faster, And faster (uncontrollable) Insatiable This shall be the end Crimson drops of life cut short, Mixed with idle tears, Of those now lost, My ailment, afflicition, It's taken my name, It's forced me to this title, One surrounded in shame, The power is great, But the grief is so much greater, I am not this being, (Stay strong) This is not my nature, (Stay composed) I can foil this curse, So do your worst This will not take, My loved ones from me, I shall regain my mortality, I shall not be stopped, I refuse to return to the place, That I once called my home, Until I have shed this shame, this pain, This undying deadly thirst, But first and foremost, I must prepare, For a journey of worlds, To be my own savior, I shall not burn in this hell, I shall not rest, Until I am whole again
6.	Burn the Throne 05:08	lyrics	buy track
We are ruled by our vices, Our urges, devices, Because we fear this world, Ourselves and our biases, We're scared preemptively, Without reason or causality, This reign of fear must end, For the price it dictates, We cannot defend, Hatred, divide, Are things by which, We cannot abide, We've destroyed the world, That we once loved, Afraid of ourselves, In the names of those above, This discrepency, This moral indignity, This reign of fear must end, For the price it dictates, We cannot defend, Hatred, divide, Are things by which, We cannot abide, Break the habit, Learn from our mistakes, Because if history repeats itself, The consequences will be grave, My blood would have me burned, Decades ago, That fear should have recessed, So long ago, How did we end up here? Who wears the crown, When we're so, Scared of rebellion Scared of resistance, Scared of our species, And I'm fucking sick of it, Scared of itself, Like a dog in a mirror, All bark, no bite, At least be sincere, You're scared of your lies, Scared of the truth, Scared that we all know, The real danger is you, Fear cannot control the masses, When it comes to our freedom, We know who our attacker is
