Circle Of Dust Album

[No lyrics]

there exists no dream worth chasing if it cannot satisfy
there exists no god worth serving if he cannot hear your cry

dig your claws into the earth
struggle to obtain
holding on for all you're worth
to what death will strip away

your wealth (your pride)
dissolved (in time)
reduced (to dust)
your worthless treasures rust

a camel through the needle's eye
for greed express no shame
you own no wealth that will provide
salvation from hell's flames

your wealth (your pride)
dissolved (in time)
reduced (to dust)
your worthless treasures rust

constructing towers in the mud
your labor is in vain
although it seems progress is made
the outcome is the same

(then)

deep in the darkness without form and void
the hovering spirit of god
man given life soon only to die
fallen by deception

(now)

dwell in the confines of mortality
gripping the hand of despair
children of dust blown by winds of distress
into uncharted futures stare

(whenever)

again the night falls to darken our dawn
silence our lips seeks refuge from harm again
children of trial offspring of pain
wounds of existence leave scars that remain

scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky
for those who would choose to receive

chains of oppression shackles of fear
forever broken for those who draw near
from storm to shelter from darkness to light
wings cast a shadow a haven from falling night

tear the holy to the ground
no remorse no fear
no sense of what is right or wrong
and neither do you care
interchange of truth and lie
trading life for death
cantamination of the pure
and those you influence

nothing sacred

tear the holy to the ground
no remorse no fear
no sense of what is right or wrong
and neither do you care
corrupting what's been sanctified
morality enslaved
adding to the road to hell
that with which the path is paved

nothing sacred

skilled at stories and lies
spill unholy light
won't heed the warning cries
see who they betray

tear the holy to the ground
no remorse no fear
no sense of what is right or wrong
and neither do you care
break apart the sacred vows
mock the holy law
judgement's hammer soon will fall
as never before

nothing sacred

world of illusion (living a lie)
spiritual blindness (no sight from your eyes)
wisdom of ancients (disturbed from her sleep)
returning with vengeance (deceiving the weak)

darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
emptiness becomes a trail of life for those deceived

spirits of guidance (masks of disguise)
seek your destruction (consumed in their lies)
carefully brainwashed (decisive design)
of him who controls you (possesses your mind)

darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
hopelessness becomes the trail of life for those deceived

darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
misery becomes the trail of death for those deceived

age of illusion (reprocessed untruth)
cosmic attraction (a synthetic spoof)
reality twisted (to fit your design)
as hell claims its victim ('now you're mine')

humanity relentless cycle history repeats itself
we've come so far but not as near
to changing what we really are

(technological disguise) (hide behind electric eyes)

daily grind 9 to 5 nothing seems to change
nothing ever seems to change time ticks away
learn to hate retaliate nothing ever solved
watch your problems multiply hope divided slipping by

we run from humanity
concealed behind technology
the more things change they stay the same
the cycle of mankind

traitors lacking self control enslaved both body and the soul
hearts devoid of love and peace possess no fear of god
bowing down to gods of stone moral values overthrown
purity aside lust is never satisfied

government corrupt with lies
leaders lead with blinded eyes
the future is unknown
the future is well known

humanity where are we going?
never mind where we have been
will the cycle just continue
when beginning runs to end?

(technological disguise) (blinded by electric eyes)

born from the dust beginnings of man
a seed of disobedience
stain of the curse we've brought on ourselves
damnation of the soul
black roots of sin planted firmly within
the soil of our hearts
one way alone mankinds only hope
jesus christ is our salvation

o hound of heaven hear my cry
remorse for things that i have justified
my life a book whose pages are well read
of actions good and evil
and thoughts inside my head

sincerity passing time will testify
between intention and what will really be
for every idle word released accountable
responsible for each and every deed as small as it may seem

immortality there is a price that must be paid
indispensable laws that cannot be disobeyed
circumstantial gravity a weight of great vitality
a warning to us all (be aware)

in darkness of secret shines a light
where eyes of truth and knowledge have their sight
your life a book whose pages are well read
of actions good and evil and thoughts inside your head

eventually the winds of judgement will be stirred
a throne of white the book of life referred
see death and hell give up their dead
as the books are being read
a record of each life speaks for itself

immortality there is a price that must be paid
indispensable laws that cannot be disobeyed
circumstantial gravity a weight of great vitality
a warning to us all (be aware)

force your opinions on the minds of the young
feeding poison to hungry souls
prepare them for their self destruction
laughing as you watch them die

lie to me your lie

make your own concept of what's right and what's wrong
feeding poison to hungry souls
prepare to pay for your destruction
your day of judgement draweth night

(demoralize) converting millions to your lies
(demoralize) your day of judgement draweth nigh

reflecting your master
creator of lies
sowing disaster
disaster you also shall reap

here it is again the voice that scare my thoughts away
demands attention for itself itself alone
seems so unthreatening but promises a bitter sting
so soon my heart and mind become the battlezone

push aside all reason a sailor to the sirens call
excuse reality for temporary lies
sometimes i can't believe the things i'll try to justify
only more lies again

get out of my head leave me alone
you're no longer welcome here
a voice so sweet with words that kill
a wicked whisper in my ear

in my time of weakness is when i see your strength displayed
screaming silently tickling in my ear
lie i know who you really are
and i see your hatred masked behind your smile

get out of my head leave me alone
you're no longer welcome here
a voice so sweet with words that kill
a wicked whisper in my ear

o wretched man so failure prone
who will deliver me
i once was lost but now i'm found
was blind but now i see
i once was lost but now i'm found
was blind but now i see

the cold of winter now resides where fires once burned bright
unseen forces waging war for possession of your sight
allowing walls to crumble leaving armor to decay
the enemy you once engaged steals vital time away

o children how could you ignore your slowly rotting soul
a carnal mind will bring you death sin will take it's toll
from certain death you came to life accepting saving grace
the seed was sown on stony ground you now spit in savior's face

hand already to the plow gaze back at what you've lost
withdraw yourself from servanthood reconsidering the cost
pride infests your spirit love of money rooting deep
ignore convictions dying plea now say goodbye morality

looking for the answers you once held in yuor hand
watch your treasures crumble like a kingdom in the sand
father time extracts his dues they're getting hard to pay
and even so you turn your back and walk farther away

why this apostasy for you know your days are few
you know whatsoever you sow will be reaped back to you
turn back unto the lord for in him is life alone
abandoning the truth you've known is death and it makes no sense at all

Open-mouth stares fracturing divide
Empty heart bare emotions coincide
Stolen lungs breathe momentary breath
Empty eyes see secondary death

Four cycles moving on
Three dark days and death is gone
Two wishes to fullfill
Only onenemy to kill
Onenemy

Open-mouth stares void of speech and dry
Empty heart bare where many failures lie
Stolen lungs breathe the air of darkest dread
Empty eyes see a life already dead

claimed by the crippled hand of hate

Four cycles
Three dark days
Two wishes
Onenemy

Regression affliction damaging myself again
Perfection impervious - desolate within

Foundation shift
Self inflict

Regression remission challenging my own reclaim
Incessant resentment no one else to blame

Reasoning drift
Self inflict

Nameless scapegoat - You suffer for my failure
Faceless victim - wearing mask of blame
Useless effort - to escape my humanity
Worthless struggle - to avoid my self
inflict

Internal glitch
Self inflict

Open mouth doth speak (talking for me)
Empty heart doth beat (pounding for me)
Stolen lungs do breathe (breathing for me)
Hollow eyes do see (looking for me)
Broken body falls (worshipping me)

Parasite

Dancing with Medusa
I have taken flight
A bed of nails my comfort
And blindness for my sight
