lyrics

(The line drawn in the sand…
Has begun to fade
Tempest, further pushes the limitations of this heresy…
Burying existence, of allotted boundary)

Desecration!
(A crime punishable by eradication)
Summoning thee…
To reclaim thy realm
Provoking the olden ones…
Unto their return
To eliminate the “line”, and it's trespasser...
(A plea
A sacrifice to the immortals)

The catalyst?
A promise of atonement...
In glory of, restitution in grandeur
Arrive at last!
To set thy accord in motion...
(A plea
A sacrifice to the immortals)

The skies now fall
The oceans have run dry
The winds breathe disease
The flames purge the land
A sight that has been revisited…
Over and over again
Divergent realms, and it's universes paralleled…
Doomed to the same fate
Waves colliding in vibration...
It's resonance, washing upon every planet
As they swallow themselves whole

When such horrors become reality…
What is the omniscient to feel?
Detached?
Deceased?
Indifferent?
(In mind's eye)

The catalyst?
A promise of atonement...
In glory of, restitution in grandeur
When such horrors become reality…
What is the omniscient to feel?
Detached?
Deceased?
Indifferent?
(In mind's eye)

The light of Earth…
Quivers, upon restoration

Pestilence!
War!
Famine!
Death!

The light of Earth…
Quivers, upon restoration
A candle burning at both ends...
Dissipation nears

As the ancients paid no mind...
Man toiled away in shadows
In conquest of, and surveillance…
Of it's own?
Ye bastards!
Foolish children…
Accrediting themselves, as kings!
(An act of treason, to one's patrons)

Justice hath brought penance…
For such debauchery
Bestowing unto them a noose...
And no other hand to tie the knot, but one's own
Ye bastards!
Foolish children…
Accrediting themselves, as kings!
In punishment, the civilization swings...
(Choking on it's own weight)

(Lunacy overcoming the dream state in asphyxia...
Poisoning the remaining cells of the hive mind
Madness runs rampant…
As a regression unfolds attributes of primal ancestry
As it was…
Engulfed, in chaos)

A final gaze unto the cosmic jury
The amaranthine council...
Deafening, with it's cries of castigation
