1.	Apathy (Demo) 04:31	lyrics	buy track
All day it's the same thing Always reoccuring Every step you retrace Staring blankly in space Mindlessly you behave Worked to death like a slave One by one the days go by, as you release your hold Counting down each step you fly, spiraling out of control Surely wasting today Slowly waiting to die Sold your soul to the lies Invested in self despise Festering thoughts of demise Questioned purpose of life Cast away the will to live, disposed by your own hand Sinking deeper like a treasure, buried beneath the sands All day it's the same thing Sick of all the nothing Using your prophetic gaze See a systematic waste Live out your pathetic days In your apathetic way
2.	Wanderer (Demo) 10:45	lyrics	buy track
The withered body Of an old lonely wanderer Wary from trials that he's faced His weathered face Gazes at the sky as he wonders Weary of this life, he comtemplates Lost the key To the gate of dreams Enduring restless nights, seeking release Longing for peace To rest eternally Entomb his dreary spirit, behind the wall of sleep Cleansed his eyes In preparation for the rite Knowing this final act, he could not repent Cursed the sky Disregarding wrong from right Gnawing at the doors of death, proceeding sans regret Severing the bonds Separating from the core But the way before, rejected his presence, and cast him aside Forever bound Determined to pass he vowed To recover his soul, restoring the essence, and reach the other side Wandering again Across the barren wastes Searching with haste For the key to undo his fate Slowly reclaimed The pieces of undying flame Holding the fragmented soul His apparition burning with hope Piece by piece He tried to reassemble But the infernal puzzle Incurred the wanderer's wrath This Sisyphean task In anger he cast it aside Cursed to wander confined Unknowing the purpose of life The withered body Of an old lonely wanderer Fatality's irony, lifeless yet alive His weathered face Gazes at the sky as he wonders The eternal futility, of the afterlife
3.	Shadow (Demo) 03:17	lyrics	buy track
They say that darkness fears the sun but it creates me They say that light makes evil run but it won't take me Away I grow stronger by the day When you lie down to rest at night, I will embrace you When sleep falls down upon on your eyes and darkness takes you Away Let it claim us both As the waning light Descends beneath the sky My fate, spelled by the stars To fade into the dark But when the night recedes A newborn light succeeds Against the reborn sun My reincarnation With every step that you take, I will remake it With every attempt to evade, I will retrace it To you There's no escaping I am the sign of life A sapling in the light As one we grow and rise Aging old and ripe But as we count the years The final hour draws near Buried by the sands of time Alone, just you and I
4.	Obsidian Heart (Demo) 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Forged in the heart of the crater The creator looks in dismay Casts away the mistake To be erased from memory by -Time- As it passes by Drenched by the tears of the Earth The seared flesh turns to ash As the life begins to end Obsidian Heart Shrouded in Darkness But the Fire inside Still burns Oblivion calls The smoldering embers Slowly dying But not yet dead Lifeless on the surface A shell black and cold But if you crack the stone Blood flows -Still- As a child born without pulse A body devoid of a soul Once broken from the mold It can never again be made whole Obsidian Heart Trapped in a carcass Rotting away as The hourglass flows Circadian world In constant decay Beating to the rhythm Of a riderless swing Alone at the heart of the crater The creator would finally see That he indeed had made a mistake As the forsaken creation was lost Far beyond reclaim And the pain was too much to bear Sharing this fate with the world Tearing the fabric of time Causing the Earth to bleed Weeping out crimson tears It ruptured, erupting with force Filling the soul with remorse Fueling the fire within Burning his spirit Splitting the fissure apart Turning his heart into stone
5.	Visions (Demo) 07:06	lyrics	buy track
I see a vision distorted A figure contorted Beyond comprehension I gaze into his eyes To see that they had died I looked away from the water I hear a cryptic plea Chorus of twisted screams Begging for forgiveness I press against my ears No silence would appear Until I closed my lips at last Sensory Possessed I cannot see Blinded by the visions I wander aimlessly Sanctuary Corrupted by the weak The echoes of the past They haunt eternally I see a million phantoms Minions in tandem Mock my sorrow and torment I hear their degradation A thundering resonation I'm swallowed by the torrent Sanctity Possessed by demon seed Lost among the visions I wander endlessly Solitary A prisoner of my dreams The remnants of the past Concealed internally I placed my hand against the door But it would not yield A voice echoed through the walls "These halls are sealed forever" I plead for one more chance A pledge to live without regret In response it called in jest "What has passed is in the past" I walked away in self reflection Recoginition of my vanity In agony I wept And swept away the silence I sat down by the fountain Peering over the edge I gazed into the water And saw my eyes were dead
6.	Keeper (Demo) 06:08	lyrics	buy track
Dig a hole But worried for our souls Saves us from the grave Unsheath the sword But scared of the unknown Stays us from the blade Walk the ledge But fear of the end Freezes us on the edge Tie the rope But hanging by a thread We pray there's still a chance The keeper of light, leads the way Demonstrating in defiance of faith The path to freedom, a price to pay The cost of life, a fall from grace Seek escape But thoughts of afterlife Keeps us still alive Turn to fate But waiting for the end Our suffering extends Relieve the pain But needles and the drink Their powers never last Release your hand Let go of the past And fall into the depths The reaper of souls, lends his gaze Revealing the path to the immortal plane Feel his touch, end your days Let it take the light away Build a home Start a journey Find a reason Let it go Lose all hope Watch it burn Commit self treason Free your soul Dig a hole Dreaming of the path Leads us to the grave Unsheath the sword Weary of the wrath We drag along the blade Walk the ledge Gravity's strength Pulls us off the edge Tie the rope Hanging by the neck A smile on our lips
7.	Reflections (Demo) 08:55	lyrics	buy track
Yesterday I thought I heard you saying That you had wanted to leave again Just last night I thought I heard you praying When did you start to believe again As you slept Converged on by your demons They'd reinvoke your fears As you dreamt Confronted by your secrets You woke in sweat and tears The sun possessed your eyes Hunted by the light Trapped within a cage The whispers in your mind Haunting like a blight Feeding on your rage Grew a nervous tick To your own image Lashing at the surface Threw a vicious fit Through it with a fist Leaving me in fragments Though you left I couldn't help but follow Watching closely from afar Through the glass Searching for tomorrow But nothing you foresaw In the rain Fending off the voices My face appeared before your eyes In the end Reflecting on your choices There was no place left to hide Yesterday I heard you self conversing Always craving to be free Just last night I heard you contemplating Having overcome your fears The pieces on the ground Within you saw yourself And found a true escape Grabbed the broken glass Bleeding from your hands Time to relieve the pain Placed it on the skin Tracing down the vein Deeper than the scars Blood came running warm Trickling down your arms Bringing you the darkness
