lyrics

It came to me just like a nightmare
First I felt the hate
Then touched the sky
Feelings of distress just whisked away

Shroud of perfect, easing darkness
Did it ever leave?
I can’t recall
The last I tried
My eyes bled tears of joy

My own deception
The pain is no longer my own
Is this me? It all seems so surreal
Mind infiltration
Resisting a dark god of rapture
Now I kneel to my master

I will persist, let go your mind
Do not resist, we are entwined

Leave me
You’ve crossed the empirical line
Return to your kind

This foreign star, not like our sun
We’ve come too far, it must be done

Nothing I do can keep you at bay
My senses astray

I walk the Earth, forever unaware
Now rejoice unto my spirit veil
The deathless youth
Eternal wisdom sail

A never-ending source of power
You will walk the path or turn a slave
The more you stand
The more I dig your grave

My own deception
The pain is no longer my own
Is this me? It all seems so surreal
Self-reconstruction
Look into the eyes of despair
Then fall in their wake

I will persist, let go your mind
Do not resist, we are entwined

Leave me
You’ve crossed the empirical line
Return to your kind

This foreign star, not like our sun
We’ve come too far, it must be done

Nothing I do can keep you at bay
My senses astray

(Solo: Kragen)
(Solo: Vince)
(Solo: Kragen)

A plan to imprison us all
Until we find a way
In time their perversion will stall
For now, surveil

(Solo: Kirk)

It came to me just like a nightmare
I walk the Earth, forever unaware

The pain no longer there
I've lost the will, my sense of reason
The core in disrepair
Can I believe my own deception?
