PETROGLYPHS LYRICS

1. Perception

The carvings on these walls. Buried beneath the earth have held the truth. The answers were always there, can't you see? This is eternal.

You were given the tools it's up for you to decide.
We're not from this place, we are simply left behind.
Its your choice to believe, and a gift to perceive.

Given no choice, this was their plan from the start .our beginning is just a fabrication of our flaws. Have we broke alignment with the Stars?

It's not dementia, just a higher level of consciousness.
An outside view of a former life, is a dream we all share when we sleep at night.
I can hear them calling.
I am aware of my beginning....

....Perception!

Through the pages mounted in stone, I am oblivious to the tales .....

2. Veil

[Instrumental]

3. Wake

As I leave this desolate place, in hopes to find myself. in my dreams. I will never lose sight of the way things used to be, in spite the fact is I must move on.
led by the system meant to prevail, our creators deserted us and left us to fail.
This path, torn roads before me. A figure in the distance leads me to the light.
An overwhelming sense of nostalgia crept over me, but do I dare to leave?
It says to me without a sound to be heard, "You can not control the world.but we can guide you intelligently. "
It's up to you to believe in your dreams.
Falling through these ripples in time, these worlds arent so distant after all.
I am nearing the depths of the end, I am awake, I am awake.

4. Desolate

[Instrumental]

5. Atlas

I am the navigator
Cast away for my mistakes
Banished never to return
This was the place that I called home
I have wasted so much time
Daydreaming about our next step in life
When I made the ultimate sacrifice
I knew what I was leaving behind
I am the navigator
Cast away from my mistakes
Condemned to exile
We are abolished from this place
(You held the world but who is holding you)
We are stranded
This void leads us nowhere
They are restricted from time and space
They will never See us for who we are
Nor will we ever
See them for the progress that they've made
Is this all that I have
Is this all that I have left
All alone with death breathing down my neck
I tried to help you I tried to save the world
But you pushed me away into this bitter cold
And the last glimpse that I caught
Was a silhouette of a sphere
As the stars aligned
It eclipses all light from the earth
I watched them disappear
I watched you disappear

6. Embers

If I don't do this for myself
I'll become the man that I never wanted to be
These were my virtues
These are my beliefs
I need to cast them aside
And make something of my dreams
I will show you
I will leave you all behind
I will give this my all
I will make it count
I won't be an anchor
I'll carry my own weight
I will follow the sunrise
I will leave you behind
Because this is the only chance
I had to make something of my life
Here I am drenched in fear
I should've stayed where my path was so clear
Embrace
You must accept what you've done
This is not the end
You've only scratched the surface
As the seas begin to tremble
And the ways turn black
I have put the fear of the ancient ones in their eyes
My missions complete
But at what cost I have given up on any hope that I had in you
One day you will all be forgotten
And what will make of you
Then a new king will rise from the embers
And we will all fade away
This was the ugly truth that I tried to hide from you
And tonight I'm leaving you behind; humankind

7. Hypocrite

Go
You turned your back on me
You see an anchor in me
I don't want to hold you back
Despite my own intentions
I know that this wont last
After all this time alone
I know that you'll bring me off my knees
Now that I've opened my eyes
I can finally see what you truly meant to me
What you meant to me
After all this time alone i finally got it figured out
Now that I've opened my eyes
I know that you were never meant for me
Being pulled in every direction
Arms reaching out
Despite my best intentions
I am meant to find my own way out
And all the countless time i heard you through
Its time for me to turn my back on you
You fucking hypocrite
After all this time alone
I know that you'll bring me off my knees
Now that I've opened my eyes
I can finally see what you truly meant to me
Just set me free
You see an anchor in me
I don't want to hold you back

8. Footprints

We have been searching for lost ground
To find our footsteps
That were forgotten through time
But the only channels that I find
Are the moments aligned with you
I never been down a narrow road
Not one like this
That's so dark and cold
Nobody understands
Nobody takes the time for a second
See through obsidian eyes
For what it's worth
You'll move on to better days
And you still have time to grow
If you change your fucking ways
Without saying goodbye
I have accepted fate
And you'll never know that you were my creation
As I rise from the clouds
I see what the world has become in life
In death we fall victim to the same thing; pain
I will never stop searching
I won't give up
I've let myself sink for the last time

9. Veil (Unmasked)

a light, glimmers in the distance.
like burning embers of thought connecting in his mind.
the veil has covered his eyes, for quite some time.
his soul is painted white, empty of existence.

but theres a new hope,
something to fill the void that has been missing.
he let go for the first time, and its the first time.
he felt free.
