Cutting Off The Air 03:41
lyrics
Light the candle, Illuminate How can I communicate through a vault? Sound the alarm, the teeth have locked. Now I have the voice of a serpent, a floating head and a bloodshot eye. A bird without feathers in a cage of velvet, The snake is constricted now. This isn’t a rabbit hole it’s deeper. more like an abyss that’s capped on one end, and the more you dig the closer you get to the stars. but are those stars, or just arrows pointing you to Dresden? So sing a little bit louder, Inspiration will keep the wolf from the door. This isn’t a firebombing. No, this inferno is hotter. ...more personal. Did you ever think you could drown in an hourglass? Time cannot freeze when it is sand. So stand still. In this case, inspiration leads to disintigration. Vixen vines gently enclose the room. Tentacles eclipse and snuff out the flame compact existence inside a balloon this silhouette is embracing the dark. Light the candle, Illuminate How can I communicate through a vault? Sound the alarm, the teeth have locked. These circus tombs have stolen my lungs. They’re cutting off the air. A concave chest can’t save you now.

No Somos Hormigas, Somos Gigantes 03:34
lyrics
all these distractions are taken from me, I wish you were home to form out these plans the doors have closed, and I'm all alone. It all begins - place your hands safe at your side even when the world starts to lean, plant your feet. a day will come when we'll forget, everything we were not yet we should have been. make a note of it we're just off to keep it solved. We're off for all that's lost. Where do we go? I feel like I'm flying. I'm eager to meet you again. in place of these empty lines. they're reaching that new height. and they’re trapping us inside. We’re off for all that’s lost We’re off for all that's solved. It’s comfortable

Voyager And The Golden Record 05:01
lyrics
Make sure you don't forget to bring everything you need. With all that space, It keeps you awake There are explosions everywhere. I close my eyes. I am no longer here. Come morning you'll forget. the sounds of ancient music as your eyes approach the record... your ears will hear its birth and its yours if you can use it. I never thought that I would leave. I'm not coming back. forgotten words brought destiny. It's you and me It’s you or me I will remain useless, floating along. There's enough darkness here to hang my headstone away.

The Rise And Fall of The Mongol King 03:55
lyrics
their lifeless image like their necks upon the ropes; thousands of strings form to break their hopes I fear my friends have reached the end I'm shaking from the wind My bones, freezing stones I don't want to give it up just yet I fear my friends have reached the end and the war begins I hate these sands; these hills that bend The sun pounds, it beats on our heads We've been thirsty for days now I almost regret my escape We pray for the rain, for God in the same, for magical myths when truth never came. I ache in my skin, preach out my eyes, I bleed on my hands, my hearts still inside I'll die in the ground, for hell is all around I miss the skies, it’s empty lies The shade of blue, the remains of you I’ll have their heads now their faces carved out I’ll die in the ground. For hell is all around

This automated room has got the best of you. Without a native mind, The sun will burn our eyes.

House Of Horus 06:26
lyrics
I could spend my whole life following you. I could spend my whole life fighting I could spend my every breath speaking for you I could spend my whole life finding truth the truth is in living up to your youth make the world and see it for a new they had me for a moment with their noose and it was choking me thought they'd never let it up living was meant to be making this a better place the past was meant for mistakes its a lot of work to bring it back to what it was when loving was the only thing they knew. replace the laws let us decide what to choose you can’t cage the free men who are freed from the truth they put a stop in my eyes so I can no longer see that your hands are getting eager scraping in my pockets for a little cash we can spend our whole lives fighting we’re not gonna die slaves liberate the nation, and you will free our generation time is fleeting it’s slowly creeping I'm not gonna die a slave I’m gonna leave this place with a smile on my face I know that nothing in this world is safe I can’t believe you can follow along like little children playing make believe paper money and a tv screen extorting children for your own greed built houses the size of mountains so you and your wife can breathe pay the Mexican workers and their families ten percent of their dying dreams I spend my life on my own two feet no paper money is gonna make me go no paper money is gonna control where my hands and my mind can’t go replace our laws let us decide what to choose you can’t cage the free men who are freed from the truth

Xibalba II (The Hero Twins) 03:33
lyrics
God, you sit so silent has the blood on my hands kept you quiet? I have eaten the youth, I have eaten the truth on a half broken arrow that our rivals used... These animals became evil along with these trees they slowly creep waiting to snatch me. yeah. the stars spin revolves around it’s discipline my eyes I cannot control there’s a light within in a burning sense the light expels its confidence the truth appears to me and I've been told... I miss them like I miss the words When they fell twenty thousand feet I guess I didn't have to know there's nothing but an empty room. I've been told I've been told "Then save yourself!"

Sigurd 03:42
lyrics
I feel a holy war breeding deep inside of me the smell of smoke and taste of blood will teach to hear & see make time move slow, you learn as you grow on the steps lay a pile of gold. we’ll burn like Rome sleep in summer groves hunt like a pack of wolves deep in the wild woods make time move slow, You’ll learn to let them know on the steps lay your pile of gold. this liquid will make you love feel heaven from above cast like a velvet glove like fire to the morning sun

Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron 05:54
lyrics
“We live in the house of forever as ever below and above The host and the king and the father all is one in the house of love awareness is just an illusion yourself is split in two happiness, pain and confusion all is one, one is one, one is two.” Descended in a velvet glove, you promised sleep but a secret to keep the temperature rose like dropped in a flame A circle of theories. find a network of society a network of beliefs.
