lyrics

"Oh you who reach this house of suffering, be careful how you enter, whom you trust; the gate is wide, but do not be deceived!"
Just bring me to the light to see the essence of death in the surrounding place and time.
Sea and sand line the beach. The rain around the island...the lighting of the sky.
Hell in the costume of heaven to my eyes, and the eyes of the others.
Forest of dreams, luring me in as if by the song of sirens, as if sang by the pitches and tones of the one who uncontrollably controls my heart,
and as like a love locket, the glow wrapped by the purity of the youth before me, eyes locked longing for escape.
The temptation of the Elder mind could not help but to peer inside the universe within his hands.
Temptation! Temptation, his mind screamed TEMPTATION!
Forest of fire, the bullet stained the way of the innocent as the flames licked fervently
at the wild and racing heart he found stored captive in his barbaric cage of a chest.
A wicked dimension released from within his eyes, consummating the vile change.
With fire in his eyes, the captain released his voice with the devil's murmur:
"Sick minds we were born, sick minds we will die. This heaven is but a dystopia, and we were the damned who stumbled upon such a wretched place.
I am the reaper, you are my sheep. I shall shepard you into the sea, not a home in this graveyard I plan to make.
We will take this gift to our tombs, and send the unrighteous to theirs. We are not leaders to the end of times, we are but stones to pave the way."

A bunch of guys making crazy tunes. Our live show is a reflection of the insanity in our heads. Our albums are a mirror to the stories escaping our overactive imaginations.
