The earth is still, I dare not move.
Thoughts rush through my head, I cannot make sense of it,
I’m overwhelmed, I fall deep into the darkness…
Am I dreaming, am I dead?
The silence is ringing in my ears, I’m stuck inside this shell,
I’m not myself anymore.
A vision, confusion of the mind,
Faint memories, vague and unaligned.
Spacetime being redefined,
Matter of a different kind.
Unsystematic motion,
Collapsing gravitation,
All I see is blackness,
I’m being torn to pieces.
All unity is shattered,
Chaotic mess of fragments,
Depersonalisation,
What have I become?
Death through my hand,
War and bloodshed, held in a cage,
Am I a god or a slave?
Trespassing the sphere between the worlds,
Gradual clarity emerges from the sherds.
My strength grows through the breath of life,
Ascending from the grounds into the heights.
A new force has arisen,
My sense of life awakened,
Fierce determination
To serve a greater purpose.
Enlightened by pure doctrines
Of morality and justice,
I feel my vocation
To rid this world of lies.
Death through my hand
War and bloodshed, held in a cage
Am I a god or a slave?
Rule over me
I must obey you, stronger than ever,
Are you a god or a slave?
I’m craving, yearning, I am suffocating.
Can’t you see?
I’m craving, yearning, I am suffocating.
I am waking.
I’m calling, come to me.
Tell me who to be.
Calling, let me see
All that’s left of me.
I’m calling, come to me.
Tell me who to be.
Calling, let me see
All that’s left of me.

Bought the Embryo CD and am loving every bit of it. Waiting for Paragon Circus to arrive and am looking forward to playing it over and over in the car. Thanks for creating such beautiful music and continued success! rockfan4life
