Track Name: Clairvoyant Transmission
I gasp for air, fear in my eyes
As this city falls to its demise
I rush for help, only to find
I lay in the anguish of my mind

How could this be, it seemed so real
The blood of men, those running tears
That smoke and fire, rising from the peers
The burning skin that I could feel

What did I see?
It felt so real
Where did I go?
What does it mean?

Escape this world
Lay afloat
Senses comes to life
Body’s lost
Amidst the fall
Body’s paralyzed
Clairvoyant transmission
Living past my life

Running around, from place to place
Trying to know what it all means
Is this a sign, should I be warned
Or should I just let it go

Those howling screams, that painful site
Clouds of ash spreading far and wide
The cries for help, those tearful eyes
Cracking earth as bodies lay

What did I just see?
It felt so real
What did I just go?
What does it all mean?

Escape this world
Lay afloat
Senses comes to life
Body’s lost
Amidst the fall
Body’s paralyzed
Clairvoyant transmission
Living past my life

Weeks go by, for me to find
The foretold city falls to its demise
What felt so real, came to life
Now I know what it all means
Track Name: Purgatory
Woke up to, the smell of dust
Breathing in, in disbelieve

Fighting to remember, what happened here
I won't surrender, I'm past my fear

I'm searching for you
Night and day
I'm waiting for you
Here I stay

Shaking off the dust
Finding all I've lost
I know I'll find you here
I feel your presence is near

No sign, no one around
What was lost may never be found
I haven't spoken in years
My eyes have no more tears

My heart has no more fears
Your voice still echoes in my ears
Your memories keep me alive
Past this tragedy I’ve survived

I feel so weak and alone
All my reason may be gone
No sign of life
No reason for light

I'm searching for you
Night and day
I'm waiting for you
Here I stay
Track Name: The Tyrant
Beware the rage rising from the east
A merciless tyrant, a rampaging beast
Brigade of slayers shielding his chest
Seven heads ten horns lay on his crest

Everything means nothing
All you’ve ever known
All will turn to ashes
As our destiny unfolds
The world as we know it
Falls into the deep
Forces of terror
Have tainted our creed

Lies and deception guide his way
Tears of joy mark his day
Little they know, they’re cheering for
The evil beast will destroy them all

Holding together all the right keys
He brings the seventh down to its knees
Day by day, reform by reform
We are all plunged to the unknown

Fear, pain, sorrow
Integral to his reign
Freedom, abandoned
All in his name

His timely murder, all well planned
Giving rise to the king of the damned
He seeks revenge for his fallen son
The end of times has begun

Everything means nothing
All you’ve ever known
All will turn to ashes
As our destiny unfolds
The world as we know it
Falls into the deep
Forces of terror
Have tainted our creed
Track Name: Haunting Shores
Haunting Shores, cracking doors
Winds to whisper, terrors and horrors
Souls were lost, and never found
Stories known, but never told

Wings and flames navigate the sky
No escape, no one can fend off the witch and the sword

Sky lit in fire
Rain painted blood
This darkest hour
Is a story never told

They rise from the depths of hell
Spreading fear under her spell
Tonight, two worlds collide
Paving way as the lands divide

One by one, 'till there are none
Darkness falls, upon us all

Wings and flames navigate the sky
No escape, no one can fend off the witch and the sword.

Sky lit in fire
Rain painted blood
This darkest hour
Is a story never told
Track Name: The Quantum Paradox
A near death experience
Relief at this blessed escape
In a parallel universe
Another version met their fate

While another did survive
To recover and prolong their life
The bush like branching prevails
As we remain divided

How can this be, another world, another me
What would happen if I return
To assassinate my forefathers
Shattering the family crest
What will happen to me next

Logic in opinion all around
Reasoning this quantum dilemma
The truth is no where to be found
As they remain divided

How can this be, another world, another me
What would happen if I return
To assassinate my forefathers
Shattering the family crest
What will happen to me next

Space and time, intertwined
Our existence, redefined
Parallel lives, endless trials
Dimensions remain divided

The fourth dimension of time
Neither uniform or absolute
Intersecting the might of space
Possibilities you can't refute
Countless incarnations of reality
They all remain divided

Space and time, intertwined
Our existence, redefined
Parallel lives, endless trials
Dimensions remain divided
