Egoist

Have I wasted my life?
I've spent six hundred and sixty-six days chasing phantoms
Only to find that the architects of my misfortune are not supernatural
What is the point of believing?
What is my reason for living?
All my life I've painted a castle in the sky
Forging an eternity that can only exist in my mind
Despite all my failures, I don't think I wasted my time
As I stare into the all-pervading firmaments
I face reality: I am not permanent
I swear I don't want to live in celestial paradise,
Nor force others into a tyrant's egotistical paradigm
Tear me from the arms of this egoist that seeks to claim me,
For this is not the carpenter that fashioned humility
Father, I know there's more to you
I hope there's more to you than this
I hope there's more to you than meets the mind

If you're current state was an illusion,
Would you crucify those who would seek to make you cognizant?
For years I've pursued a savior fabricated by narcissism
In seeking answers I've only generated more questions
Can you condemn me for rejecting the sunrise
If all I've ever known is the night?
Can you convict me for failing to reach the sky
If nature has stolen my wings?
Haunted by the transience of my existence
I struggle to cope with my mortality
In silence madness is creeping, persuading me,
But suddenly I hear the sound of my own voice trying to save me
I used to envy the dead and pity the living
Now I understand that everyone dies, but not everyone lives
If thinking critically is evil, then call me Lucifer,
For I'm about to have an opinion:
The closer I get to the truth
The farther I carry myself from reality

Abandoned

Did you abandoned god?
Or has god a abandoned you?
If I believed in fairy tales
I'd say the devil has claimed you
What have you done, my brother?
What is it that you've become?
Turn to the mirror and tell me,
Is it true what they say you've become?
If I could face you,
I don't know if I could really stand to judge you
For I, too, have been led astray by this bitter world
Is it true what they say?
Is it true what they say?
If I could mirror the depths of your heart in my saddest song,
What would it reveal?
I can only imagine the face of betrayal
Amidst the throes of your struggle and pain
But if the weight of your actions speaks for itself,
Could you blame those closest to you for walking away?
Though I cannot judge you
I cannot justify your actions
But in this your darkest hour
I encourage you to hope again
If I could mirror the depths of your heart in my saddest song,
What would it reveal?
If I could mirror the depths of your heart I my saddest song,
Would it reveal you've truly lost sight...
Of what matters most?
If I could mirror
The depths of your heart
What would it reveal?
What would it reveal?
You never abandoned god
Nor did god abandon you
If you ask me now I'd say
This world has simply failed you

Only a foolish man
Would seek to pave his own path
Ignorance is bliss, and life transparent
When it is all figured out for you
The harbingers of ignorance
Renounce the relativity of paradigmatic structures
The shepherds of mindless followers
Define morality by allusion to divine authority
Only a foolish man
Would seek to pave his own path
A shiny castle is painted for those
Who embrace preconceived fates
While a fiery pit is promised to those
Who clinch to extemporaneous futures
A shiny castle is painted
While a fiery pit is promised
A fiery pit is promised
Only a foolish man
Would seek to pave his own path
This fatuous tenure must end
We must transcend this wretched era
This fatuous tenure must end
We must transcend
Only a foolish man
Would seek to pave his own path
The foolish mind is easily perplexed
And left to wonder endlessly
But in the most infinite and unsettling states of contradictions
We can find beauty
I would rather die a swine with knowledge
Than live eternally as a mindless man
The shepherds of mindless followers
Define morality by allusion to divine authority
This fatuous tenure must end
We must transcend
This fatuous tenure must end
We must transcend

An immaculate mask burrows your cruel deception
Unsullied promises forge a chapter of misconception
Your cowardly soul betrays you as you begin to pretend
Dishonesty will remain your only virtue till the very end
The truth has its way of coming to light
Will I see the day you cease to torture my mind?
The thought of you leaves me empty and weak
Will you continue to drown in your lies or speak?
On the outside your splendor is sound
Inside, your cruelty knows no bounds
The truth has its way of coming to light
Will I see the day you cease to torture my mind?
I hate the thought of you
The thought of you leaves me empty and weak
Will you continue to drown in your lies or speak?
I can only hope you can stand
When there is nothing left
When there is nothing left to mend
Will you stand when you have nothing left?
Though you've left me torn and broken
I seek to restore the breath you have stolen
I never knew someone like you could fool the way you do
I never knew someone like you could fool the way you do
I will never regret the moments we shared
But I choose not to neglect the life you snared
I will never regret
I will never neglect
But I choose to forgive that you took everything form me
You took everything

This world is rotten
I've watched you clasp the heart of humanity
In a foolish attempt to save it from depravity
No one can save this race from its corruption
This vicious world is destined for destruction
Oh glorious makers in the sky
How could you be so reckless?
Oh mortal agents of perdition
How could you be this negligent?
I remember the gold of dawn
Before the sun denounced her suffering
Her final spring long vanished
Before the winds' whispers turned to nothing
I've watched you clasp the heart of humanity
In a foolish attempt to save it from depravity
No one can save this race from its corruption
This vicious world is destined for destruction
No one can save this world
No one can save this world
Is there any hope for us?
I remember the gold of dawn
Before the sun denounced her suffering
Her final spring long vanished
Before the winds' whispers turned to nothing
The breath of death is in the air
You can taste the world's despair
This world is rotten
Forgotten
Rotten
When pasquinades of broken heroes cease to adorn
The broken arteries of our hallowed towns
We'll fathom the candor of our misfortune
And humanity will rejoice
When the heavens have fallen down
This wasteland is my home

I stayed away from this EP for awhile, because at the time of the release it seemed like every "djent" band was copying the Egyptian/oriental sound. Overall, I'm glad I revisited this album, technical aspect of the music mixed with the quality of sound and the br00tal vocals makes this record really spectacular!!!
