Save the world from itself
Open season on the rest
Bridge the distances that rise
Shift the focus with new lies
Godbuilder in the rising storm
The ancient tales are matched
Watch the world transform
There’s a need in all we lack
There’s a knife in every back
In a system doomed to fail
Open eyes and fear prevail
Godbuilder in the rising storm
We christen Babylon
Rise over the Elysium Fields
A secret has become, now the truth revealed
Godbuilder from the ashes rise
A reason to believe, yet undefined
To faith’s slumber, we return again
The secret has become
Now the truth we fear

By the time you read these words
I'll be forever gone into the darkness
A fleeting image in few minds
Vanishing in time into the forest of believers
As the hours grow small
One task encompassed all I ever tried
Nothing is left for them spite
Only dust and absent light, no mourn to come
But I can leave this all behind
Await a new fight
The tranquil agony will rise and force insight
When fire burns cold the light we knew is gone
Chasing the lost
I rest my head as I fall away from anymore
To turn to stars
As we leave this all behind
To sleep in the arms
Of the emptiness we've know
All along

This course will suffice
Open ended is your final journey
Into darkness, seeking only light
So conflicted, the wake of the season
has left you blind
Once shaken, once defined
You won't feel anymore
There's no one, left to hide
Only memory and ghost
This force will defile
There is sickness in those
Who align with all the others.
Whispered fears will rise
From the dust in the corner
To seek out one last reprise
Once taken, once realized
You can't shake the offenders tonight
There's no words left to write
Only memory and ghost
Trying as I might
Can't keep pretending
I'm loosing all the while
Seems neverending
The trials and the pain
(must stay focused)
All the lessons are in vain
(teaching me how to...)
This curse you can't deny
A surrender of hope
It's really over
Natural madness of this ancient blight
There is safety in numbers
but leading to our demise
Oh Oh Oh Say good night
Take a bow as you exit this time
There no one left to fight
only memory and ghost

See the eyes as they shine
Beyond the precept of time
Electric shaman, we praise thee
Just speak, we shall abide
Now more than ever
Still less than before
We will define the undefinable
Faith is empty no more
Hidden deep in the fold
A place that few ever know
A living god to guide us into the light
Before our fear turns to stone
Now more than ever
Give them a wisdom divine
Chaos our home, the last stand of the free
Still faith must be blind
And as we ride through the night
forsake our home and our lives
Until the last word is said
Leaving them empty and dead
Now more than ever
Deceiving only to guide
A myth untold, a beacon in the night
Save us from the wolves

Utterly hypnotic, heavy, and ethereal beyond what I can aptly describe here. It'll take you careening down a kaleidoscopic wormhole of audial bliss.
