ARISTEIA LYRICS

1. Citizen Sky

Vengeance; a vengeance that can only reinstall honor
To a clan at the spill of your blood
I question how it was possible to install all of my trust
A pact of commitment tainted at the cost of ignorance and lust
Retire your arsenal and bow down to me
Take a close look at your environment
Revenge; revenge is never about the greater good
Revenge; revenge is never about the greater good
It's a visceral need that has to be satisfied
It's a visceral need that has to be satisfied
I can see that the broken are the evolved because out of sheer pain can one only accomplish what once was thought to be impossible (To be impossible)
If I could've had it my way
I'd blame myself solely accountable for all the misfortunes I brought upon you all
They say to begin one's self healing is to forgive yourself
Answer me how can one begin to (Justify)
My pathetic sense of trust
(Justify)
Every time I wanted your love (Justify)
Every inch of blood that I dropped (Justify)
The meaning to my heart

2. Ghost of a Memory

Holy mother
I beg for your forgiveness
I am living proof that we are all the fucking same
Judgment passes through will and grace
Hate, a universal language
Never bow, never resent
Never idolize a false pretense
In this lifetime we all have one vision to claim
Raw intentions are claimed and are imprinted into the roots of our evil
Apathy
Satan's grasp will doubt.
Don't lose faith, never falter
Don't lose faith, never falter
It was a soul made for loving
She came to me, she meant much more to me
She held the pain I did not want to keep
Destroyed by hate and greed
She was my soul, my place of worship
She was my home and it's tearing my heart
Roaming endlessly, while safe way wonders is where you are
Not of pure blood
Not of pure blood
There's no meaning to justify your profit or gain off of war
Philosophy, resources, religion, hate, revenge or love
No matter how pitiful or trivial your motives are, they're all worthy causes for war
War will be endless cycle and reasons for it can be found later
Human nature seeks conflict
Human nature seeks conflict
War is a needed evil to maintain steady balance

3. Pranamasana

All this trouble I've caused, the pain I carry
I walk through the darkness
There's this place where
I always feel less of what I am told to be
Don't forget looking back also serves purpose
A purpose to show how hard you've pushed before
Don't forget you're a walking representation of strength
There will be days when you doubt yourself
But the key to it all is knowing that the ache in your heart won't last forever
That overwhelming sense of affection is the darkness that clouds over you, but that'll be the only motive you'll ever need
I know the feeling
I know the feeling
Of coping with a world that
I wasn't intended for
It wasn't intended for me
Knowing those of the same descent are wishing for your failure isn't something easily comprehended
Hearing the echo of my broken youth and all that's gone wrong
I am the sole keeper to my own path
I can't live with regret it's sink or swim
I will not fear the day when the odds are against me
I will stand firm
I will and cannot fear myself anymore
Although the road ahead of me may be difficult
I know I'm not alone

4. Consigned Oblivion

I ask myself everyday why?
Aggression
Aggression is the result of psychological defense against threats of fragmentation
As a result some people will dive into hate
I have had enough with seeking solace for others to approve
This identity is just another psychological illusion
Have you ever been torn apart by the people that you want rather than than the people you need?
It's gotten to a point where
I can only do wrong
I have torn a piece of my own soul
I'd rather be an honest sinner than to be known as a false saint
I wish you could all see how vulnerable we are
Sensitive minds and egos determine our lives
I've let all my hate speak and
I've let all my love be my ultimate demise
Understand that I see what you have when you close your eyes
I feel the spams in your heart each time you've felt alone
I too have yet to receive the warmth you're seeking
Do you represent your morals or do you represent egos?
Next time you feel the disbelief in your heart just take a breath, analyze your worth
Sink your feet into the sand and understand that there isn't any looking back
And as I say my final peace
I'd let you know that I didn't need you
I've come so far alone
So I say goodbye

5. Defaced Reality

[Instrumental]

6. Primordial

Secrecy can only lead to your deception but who am I to blame your actions for
I am the one who triggered your hate
I can't begin to regret and I'll hold tight to the faith
I got because I'll never falter or drown in failure
The worst mistake in life you can make is to not regret
You must not relent in pain or defeat
It can only sculpt you to be the person you're meant to be
I wonder if there could ever be a moment in such an existence that we have once described as vividly as your lips spoke it to be
The sensation of calmness overwhelming the broken shell
I call hate
Manifested hate
A society stuck on hate
Subtle differences separate our people
Bright futures turn into a gamble of life and death
We place them on the hands of the young and let religion do the rest
We allow a broken system and death walks free
What will it take for us to do something?
I feed of your fear and desolation
I'am your monarch

7. Isolation

I see a light and feel no regret on the infinite path to the other side
I'm left with these nightmares to pretend
I feel something besides pain, hate, and sorrow
Is this something
I'am destined to be?
These visions don't seem to go away
I must find an answer
I must find a reason to leave something behind to make sense of all this madness
My imprint on Earth will be all that's left of my struggles
I'am more than just living flesh
I have realized myself that
I will not let go of what once was
With a sense of isolation
I used to think I had it all
But now my back is against the wall
You don't feel for the things you've done
It's only a matter of time that you justify your actions
Projecting your insecurities to other people have only let me open my eyes
Clear as daylight
I see that your actions are beyond control
Respect is something you never gave yourself and something you desperately seek in others
I'am the roots grow in the dark
To exist with no reason is the same as laying dead
Angels banished from the heavens have no choice but to become demons
Fuck your kingdom and it's followers
I'd rather burn in hell

8. Pantheon

Have you ever questioned your existence?
Because of lately doubt and hate are the only things I look forward to
I've done all that I could to keep this type of rage contained but
I've realized my mistakes were far too late
Death spares none and conquers all
Time waits for no one; realizing that
I took you in vain and now the pain remains but it's far too late
Nothing I do will bring you back
Even as the truth is in front of my eyes
I can't help but realize it is all a dream I have yet to be awoken from
I tell myself everything will change and everything has a purpose but
I come back to the conclusion that
I am no coward
Dwelling on these never-ending thoughts of a past that no longer exist but still the old wounds do not seem to resist
My visions were correct the whole time and now I know this to be true so
I'll wait for you
Even as the truth is in front of my eyes
I can't help but realize it is all a dream I have yet to be awoken from

9. Speed 3 (Monks)

Today I laid down to only come across memories that contained significance; moments of self-love, arguments, fulfill my heart,
I refuse to lose you
I can't be selfish and I will not hate, but bearing the thought of seeing you for the very last time
Isn't as easy as they make it or want it to be
I can't help but feel like everybody else, thinking
I could've said anything to prevent it all but thinking like that still doesn't bring you back
It doesn't matter how hard I stare at my own reflection but
I still come to the same conclusion that I never knew a thing about you
But if I could take anything out of this is that life will hand you unexpected circumstances that you can't control
I know the feeling of the world collapsing on you
Understand there's much more to life than to feel pain
Something isn't worth the value without fighting for or dying for it
Some say being happy in the moment is the best way we can be
Because forever is composed of now(s), forever is composed of now(s)

10. Hopeless (Interlude)

11. Verlust der Liebe (Loss of Love)

Compromising for a resolution
Heavy eyes cloud the future ahead
Reminiscing on the good and bad
As I suffocate to time's sand
As I bring myself to that dark mental state
I slowly affiliate my hate and I begin to understand
The fucking pain that my actions may have caused
But for every minute and every step I take
I can never hesitate (Never hesitate)
To admit the thought or the fact that I loved you
Compromising for a resolution
Heavy eyes cloud the future ahead
Reminiscing on the good and bad
As I suffocate to time's sand
Looking back at it all
It's kind of hard to muster up the words to explain my actions but words with no conviction aren't worth your time
Emotion, perspective, and where I fit into this world
Each day gets harder and harder to sit alone with my thoughts
For once everything made sense
Every moment felt right
A desperate attempt to forget
Where do I belong in this world?

12. Apocalypse

Hatred, anxiety, every waking moment is a sudden urge of regret
I can't take any of it back
I keep telling myself that
I'll change and
I'll change
Time and time again
I've seen that
I'm full of shit
Consumed by hate, incapable to regret
Within seasons that empty dark feeling still remains the same
How is it that not a single fucking soul can remain sane?
How far and long ago have
I lost myself?
Take a moment and reflect
Answer truthfully if you believe your actions reflect any of that gracious loving character you think yourself to be?
Can you look at your child and confidently say that you set a golden standard to follow throughout your days of life?
When your world comes down crumbling everything you know and love is taken away from you without mercy
A familiar instinct of rage and hate
Vengeance comforts your soul
They'll call you leader
They'll call you savior
They will keep you in cages
They'll call you illegal
Have you felt enough of the hate to thrive off of it?
You have a choice for once
