SOLSTICE LYRICS

1. Black

Deep inside this hole where no life sees
Emptiness surrounding everything
Deafening silence speaks, my ears bleed
Clotting remnants of emotion
Black

Loathing in my amnesty
Underneath lucidity
Drowning in the absence of
Conscious inner faith
Submerged in theology
Breathing in the fluid
Black

Swimming through the seas of nothing
Drowning in the waves of absent feeling
Choking on the fluid that submerges me

I can't see beyond the colors
Of this blackened mind
Isolated deep within
Severed nerves feel nothing
Choking on the fluid that
is submerging me

2. To Dust

Nothing more for me to see
From the eye that sleeps
Closed within a silent dream
A meal for the worms to eat

No rise into the heavens
No three day resurrection
No pass into purgatory
Nothing! To dust

Complicate the ending
With the dreams of ever-after
Consuming every breath
You breathe the filth of rapture
Poisoned words
Condemn the non-believer
Close my eyes and lay to rest
And let the worms devour

Return to the mother
Remove the weight forever
Wash away the stigma
I don't need it where I'm going
Nail shut the coffin
And drop into the nothing
Decompose
My flesh within the temple
Withering
Nothing here
And nothing to betray
Close my eyes and lay to rest
And let the worms devour

3. Honest Human Emotion

Under and in between me
Layers of scars define
Twisted deformed emotion
Colors bleed in black and white

Honest human emotion
Overwhelms me
From the inside through
The light everlasting
But the inside leaves
It's shell cracked and fading
Inner dying seed planted
Under nothing

The scars remain
and paint the page along the way
The picture fades
Here and now the colors grey
Anointed by
This loneliness where I can hide
Deep inside
The well is cracked and has gone dry

4. Conclusion Disillusion

[Intro:]
Have you seen Jesus anywhere?
No... I haven't. I thought he was with you!

Torn away from everything
Everything that loves me
Solitude's awakening
Remove the black-toothed grin
Savior is calling me
Summoned to the hanging tree
Grind the path before me
And show me this misery
Show me this suffering

Open my mind to believe, I see
Nothing to ease this suffering in me

Conclusion disillusion
Tainting the pool I drown in
Sinking to the bottom
Substance the bludgeoning

Looking through my eyes conceive
A flame that burns to save me
To get me through just one more day
And scar one more memory
The chapel doors are open
Consume the flesh, forgiven
Forgive the flesh, consume
And burn the gates of heaven

My life's rotting slow
Consume flesh
Nothing left

5. Sovereignty

Images of the victims, they suffer
Their innocence means nothing to me
Capture the enemy, discriminate
Feel my wrath, my brother

Remove the face of compassion
And raise this heavy hand
Broken bones of opposition
Taint this holy land

A congregation lied to
This parable untold
Sacrifice diplomacy
Let the war machine unfold

Return of your lord
Return of your savior
Deliver us from evil
Deliver the enemy

6. Swarm

7. Moment Of Clarity

8. Passionless

9. Extremes

[originally by Cynic]

Society's selfish meaning to confine
Disabled by the need to cure an insecurity
Masses strive to keep themselves in line
While the radical seek attention all the time

Say they're sick - just hypochondriacs
Cry some more, I know it's all an act

Lies...taken to extremes
Despised...because of what they need
A selfish thought to please themselves
They strive to succeed in what they're looking for
Defying, lying, rebelling for attention
A disability taken from one extreme to another

[Chorus:]
Abusing rights, defying given laws
Excessive whining, they desire sympathy
Rebel, they prove their lives are just a flaw
Immoderate acts plagued by the disease
I proved them wrong but they're the ones to blame
Defeated fair and square at their own game

10. Impressive Technology

11. The Whisper
