BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE LYRICS

1. March Of The Dead

[Instrumental]

2. Into Oblivion

OOOHHH!

It hurts to see you live your life revolving around death!
And to see your heart when I can't see your face!

SO FAR!
AWAY!

One foot in front of the other, step to the right!
One foot in front of the other, step to the right!
YEAH!

Time has it's way and I'll be right here waiting for you!
Time has it's way and I'll be right here waiting for you!

LET'S GO!

YEAH!

YEUUUUUUUAAAHHHH.

Waiting for you!

3. One Man Parade

OOOOAAHH!

Behold the man without strength!
The strongest man that ever lived!

Behold the end of all things!
The end of all things just beginning!

The weak are marching on with one objective!
Take back the times!
These days are evil!

The weak are marching on with one objective!
Take back the times!
These days are evil!
No one can stop them!
No one can stop THEM!

The dead rise up to praise You!
Your love goes far beyond the grave!
Far beyond the grave!

GO!

It's life or death now!
Make your choice!
Whose side are you on?

It's life or death NOW!
Make your choice!
Whose side are you on?

Whose side are you on?

The weak are marching on with one objective!
Take back the times!
These days are evil!
No one can stop them!
No one can stop... THEM!

4. Elegy: Deception / Lament / Triumph

[feat. Ryan Clark from Demon Hunter]

YEAAAHHH!

Death reigns over Earth
Oppressing justice and truth
Nations plagued by despair
Collapsing hopelessly into themselves

YEEEAAAHHHH!
ROW!

We watch while sanity dies
Forever lost upon the Earth
Countless souls embracing condemnation
One by one marching to the GRAVE!

YEEEAAAAHHHH

One by one marching to the grave!

Into the Mouth of the ruin!
That feeds upon the Damned and the Deceived!
(Deceived!)

OOOHHH!

And they will cry;
There is no life here only death!
(Only Death)
Only Death!

RAH!

Deceived!
Deceived!
HHOOOOOO!

DECEIVED!

Wide is the path that leads to destruction OH!
OOOHHH!

Wide is the path that leads to destruction!
Wide is that pathway down into the pit of despair!

5. Night's Sorrow

[Instrumental]

6. The Epigone

YEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

GO!

There's nothing!
That I can say!
That hasn't!
Already been said!

I'm just repeating myself repeating someone else!
Equally incapable of uttering a single new thought!
Yet you are ever worthy of adoration!
So how can I for a moment cease to lift my heart in praise?
Your name is glory
My song is victory
And I will keep on singing

Your Name is Glory
My song is victory

OOOHHH!

There is no opposition!
There is no opposition!
THERE I NO OPPOSITION!
No thing can stand...
IN YOUR WAY!!!

Make my life Your own
Make my life your own

OOOOOAAAAAHHH!

7. Beyond Adaptation

NOOOOO!
OH!

OOOAAHH!
I bear these scars!
A constant reminder!
of my own INADEQUACY!

I've held everything and nothing!
All at once!
And all at once been broken
ALTOGETHER BROKEN!

YEEAAHHOOO!

But even scars fade with time!
(Only You remain)
And my determination is not enough!
(Only You remain)

Even so...
I BEAR THESE SCARES

YEAH!

GO!

I bear these scars!
A constant reminder!
of my own INADEQUACY!

I've held everything and nothing!
All at once!
And all at once been altogether broken!

8. No Fall Too Far

My heart has never been enough!
Breathing just barely gets me by!
For a time!
FOR A TIME!

The consequences of being human...
Won't be undone by human hands!

YEAH!

I turn my head (Turn my head!) and see it all falling apart!
But You're still here, (You're still here!) un-phased by me!

I'm holding on!
I'm holding on to You!
I'm holding on!

I move my eyes (Move my eyes!) from fixation on a fallen world!
I'm holding onto you, (Onto You!) un-phased by me!
OOOHHH!

These walls fall down around me...
But I will stand!
I Will Stand!

And though my body be burned away I will live...

LIIIIFFFEEEE!!!

I'm holding on!
I'm holding on to You!
I'm holding on!

9. Ex Nihilo

The time has come!
Arise from death!
Victory is close at hand!

Take up the sword and follow me!
Out of nothing into a new creation!

A thousand decades of despair!
Will pass away in an instant!
And You and I will be there!
With hands raised in victory!
OOOHHH!

Fall on your knees.
Fall on your kneeees.

The time has come!
Arise from death to Victory

The time has come!
Victory is close at hand!
Take up the sword and follow me!

The time has come!
Follow me out of nothing into a new creation!

The time has come!
The time has come!

YEOOHHH!

LET'S GO!!!

OOOOOOHHHHHYEAH!

Out of nothing a new creation!
Out of nothing into new LIFE!
OH!

Out of nothing a new creation!
Out of nothing into NEW LIFE!

10. Denouement

[Instrumental]

11. The Trivial Paroxysm

So it begins!
And I am!
Surrounded by!
My enemies!

Darkness seems like!
My closest friend!
Suffering and waiting!
Suffering and waiting!
Suffering and waiting for You!
Each breath feels like my last!

But that won't stop me!
I've seen the way it ends
I won't give up!
Carry on 'til then!
Carry on 'til then!

YEEAAHH!

And though I'm incapable.
Of sustaining myself.
Even for a moment.

I will outlive time!
I will outlive time!

CARRY ON!
CARRY ON!
CARRY ON!
CARRY ON!
YEOW!

But that won't stop me!
I've seen the way it ends
I won't give up!
Carry on 'til then!
