1.	Astray 06:13
2.	Confiding in the Black 11:22	lyrics
Darkness falls once again Engraved in the urges Harboring these illusions through weary eyes The life of darkened days The punishing weight of fragility Upon the shoulders Navigating through the vapor Amongst the pale suits Heavy minds abound with dread As they pass us by Veiled in thoughts of pain Confiding in the black Dangerous resolve Time and time again A pain, unanswered An ache left to the mind Doused in fear Yet I know I am not alone Self-destruction Condemnation The helping hands have lost their grasp The shoulders have vanished We can only watch from afar We slowly dissolve By our own hands The paths time of may heal But a few lost souls, too far gone Etched into remembrance May they find their home
3.	Veiled in Echoes 11:12	lyrics
The fate of thought Imprisoned in a cloud Shackled by the past On these unbreakable chains Attained absolute severance Traveled beyond the horizons And yet I ponder the prospects The life we once dreamed of In my subconscious you reside In the chambers of my mind The halls are complete Beyond this tired realm Hidden in the otherness You are there Lodged deep within these thoughts Yet only one blink away You are there These figures I see Leave me to wonder Is it the love of the past? Is it the love of the future? Channeling my desires A longing for the touch Sculpted from the memories Of our times of pleasure And now alone I wander This isolated path Now alone I traverse Upon these clouded mountains Now alone I stand Bound only to the void And alone I may fall Where are you?
4.	In the Hands of Apathy 07:17	lyrics
Absolved in their filth Driven only by their greed Submerged in such power Power over the dying souls Such decay before them A deathly painted landscape Yet we are siphoned to appease them The core of our beings Stripped to nothing Just a numeral apparition A million voices, hushed eternally A million cries, left to vanish A million tears, evaporate A million screams, echoed across the landscape Their bastions of wealth will rule A sacrificial powerscape Clenching only the commoner’s throat The helpless always left to rot Asphyxiation Damnation The plagues consume us all May we lay to rest
5.	The Dawn of Failure, Part I - Pale Horizon 09:27	lyrics
Left to the grey Drenched in these rains Dissolving to nothingness Idle, somber Another day begins The sun casting pale shades Another journey before me Pushing through the fog The curling of this oblivion Left scarred and disconnected Submerge myself within these walls Let this poison clean my veins Bring me into the circle again Gazing forward through these rains Arise, the dawn of failure Harrowing memories of the loved and lost Let the fear of defeat roam free Free me from these chains Cast me into the haze
6.	The Dawn of Failure, Part II - The Ascension 06:04
7.	The Dawn of Failure, Part III - Shattered 05:46	lyrics
Escaping the fog of reality Clearing thoughts, righting the mind Perhaps again I can see The days flourish again As this day blends into a haze The face of time taunts me Crushing under these heavy thoughts Shifting into a crumble The flight, only temporary Airless and trapped Moments of bliss left unanswered No longer weightless Returning to the void The void of reality Mangled by the cold Once again left in ruins This unruly tension Pulling harder The nothingness Consumes me yet again Again Can this descent be harvested? Can this purpose be replenished? No!
8.	The Dawn of Failure, Part IV - Return to Obscurity 04:31	lyrics
The darkness has fallen again Oblivion’s night fall Bringing forth the curl again Visions of a cold demise Redemption has faded away And now I have returned Seeking solace in the null Blackness returns All light has dissipated Lost all track of time Awaiting the next dawn of failure
