Don’t look back, I can’t see, Red! What’s happening inside (Tim Robbins was excellent in The Shawshank Redemption) me? Grasping to existence, awake from within, Now it’s the end of the line. Faster and faster and deeper and deeper, My mind starts to spin and my heart's getting weaker. Darker and darker, the light's getting dimmer, But hope sparks a glimmer, hope sparks a glimmer. Despair, a life I despise. Fear, will I survive? Belief gives me the drive. Hope keeps me alive. And hope is what’s worth striving for to keep us sane. And belief will silence our worries and doubts, numbing the pain.

Everything comes into play that far, the flashlight has arrived. Altitude humidity temperature, wind at face value: accounted for. Ten seconds, take him now. Ten seconds, take him down. Aiming now with my Barrett .50cal, I'm gonna take you down like a Marine Scout sniper, Helicopter go fuck yourself, I'm gonna take you down like a Marine Scout sniper. The spin of the earth comes into play: take him now, he's loaded. Once you've been a wolf it's hard to be a goat. That's how conspiracy works.

Watch as it burns, the brightest star, see it collide. Fade out and die. Reprise. Fall to your knees and set yourself free. When was this all about you? Time stands alone on the edge of a knife, When there’s no way to choose if you should survive or end your life, I’m asking you to take a leap of faith. Come to your senses. Chaos, destruction, when time stood still, Cut the pretences. We wait for our star to collapse. Light once so bright slowly fading away. Fall in to darkness. Light once so bright slowly fading away. Now you must choose how you live your life, Filled with regret and waiting to die? Day draws nigh as time won’t wait, Nothing to lose: confront your fate. Cut to the chase, illuminate. Take one more bow for the last curtain call. Fear awoken, I hold on. Feel abandoned, on my own. Life lay shattered, cry for help. What had happened? I don’t know. Will I be caught? Fear not though. Will I break down? I am strong. Will I confess? I will stand. Will I survive? To fight on. Oblivion set aside, this isn’t the time to hold on to your pride. The shock wears off, a battle cry. Reality in the blink of an eye. Information, override, on the verge of collapse we must coincide. A cry for help, it’s almost over. Obliterate the supernova. When the dust reveals them we strike before it settles in the dead of the night. Fear is only adrenaline inside. We stand. We fight. One goal: survive. Wait for the signal. If you cannot change something, change the way you think about it. Leave with no regrets. Know your enemies and keep them closer than your friends.

Silhouettes remain, Caught outside on the coldest night. Memories hang in empty picture frames, The silence devours my appetite. Standing alone, Ice cold breath litters the opaque sky, The sound of a train is a metaphor, Will I live or do I survive? Forwards and backwards he can’t catch his breath, The battle is lost by the one that smells death, When inadequate decisions now put to the test, Its best left to fate so don’t second guess, A matter of pride that allows him to stand, Time is drawn out by a fine grain of sand, But late in the day they must stick to the plan, Who will win? Russ Hiller verses The Abominable Snowman. Is wanting enough? Answers shrouded in a blanket of snow, A violent collision my heart stops dead, An avalanche and no one knows.

Courage is tested by the measure of a man, Time invested, respect must be earned. Morals are valued, insurrection endured, Our next generation laid waiting obscured. When valour is weighed out by the dauntless and game, Resolute in the fact that nothing stays the same, What give us the right to stand up and fight? Unflinching we stare, set to ignite. Who is our nemesis? Scourge thorn or bane? La bête noire that drives you insane. Embroiled by hatred, confound by revenge, Who can we trust? Where do we turn? When will it end? A length of rope hangs from the sky, One million ways for us to die. Take the leap, leap of faith, saving grace, A bullet fired. Shattered glass. How much longer will this pain last? Fade away, another life. Another day. Everyone Knows that before the world ends, Before the darkness we will pay the price, Before the silence we will face the consequences of our actions.

It's A Trap! 05:59
Fear it cuts me deep inside and hate, Suffering in silence. A feeling of anger, indignation and vengeance. They will never take you. Deconstruct their innocence. Irresponsibility deconstructs their innocence, Confess! To torment and torture. Look up at the burning sky, stare into oblivion, Obsidian. Beyond closed eyes. Through clenched teeth we suffer in silence and fall asleep. Our lies run deep, we gasp for one last breath; that's all we need. Stranded and alone we strive to survive, Caught up in emotions we are lost. Days go by. Past is present, time has stopped the hope. Ceased in amazement. Trapped here on a world no one can see, We starve ourselves for bitter vengeance, Tied up to this cross we have to bear. Our lies and deceit: mock us if you dare. As soon the ground will part beneath your feet, And all the world will see how cruel we can be. Don’t mistake coincidence for fate, Our paths defined and you are the chosen one. Why follow those who choose to lead? Why choose to fight, why choose to bleed? Why suffer in depravity? Choose to suspend longevity, And spend the whole time asking: How I uncover the answers? Where are the answers? Kings fight wars to claim their thrones. Live together, die alone. So shut your eyes, be fed the lies and face the truth called the demise.

MAYA 03:42
Prophets scream: "No!" Decline and abandonment, veils of duality resides in me. Misinterpretation manifests epiphanies. Invasion, revolt, revolution. The cycle repeats roughly once in a lifetime, a sudden collapse. The world will not end, it will be transformed. Vibrant but brutal, time turns like the changing seasons. Monumental inscriptions, a prefabrication of arrogance. Distort the message, govern the illusion. A sudden reversal! Now is the time to awake and take action, This prophesized change is going to happen, Our attitudes determine reaction, Divine sleep is just a distraction. There is nothing to wait for, nothing to fear, The massive destruction we all think is near. Blind in delusion, apprehension unclear, Awake and realise opportunity is here. A disturbed fragment, the appearance of phenomena, Knowledge perceived like a snake in the darkness. Just as reality obscures our deception, Inherent flaws: ignorant perception.
