00.00 - In the Court of XXX:

First voice:
By solemn decree unanimously we hereby declare thee
a sponsor of the greatest malignity. Your fault, you see,
is taking for a medicine the denial, forcing down a pill of cyanide.

By giving up your own life you recede, you see, your natural born
right to be alive, my dear.

As formal, dare I say heavy-hearted felt, atonement to the king

all his subjects who dare to defy his majesty

are forced to give up all and any pretense to a life among us free
men.

By means of poisoning of various degrees you will the felony from
records erase for good, my dear.


Second voice:
The malicious intent of your actions will prove my theories behind our
own inner strive for doom.

Now that everybody knows what a man can do to harm himself in the
same way that you showed us. To

open up another way out of sorrows and blight, instead of achieving
perpetual bright, is to

open up another way out of the duties of men alone. You see,

a broad example of your qualities will be forwarded away to rightful
authorities

as sourceful material and a case study, to improve the prevention of a
repetition too.


Third voice:
Even after the toils of steady and decade long and more prosecuting
of your

fellow strays, falls from grace, the persecution goes on.

We must still follow still and persevere, there at the gallows' power.
Our

war of times goes on. A country built on sacred laws.


02:30 - The Crawl, Part I:

In the path leading out the spider's den,
crawling up to the air, where the sun is set.

I survived again, again.
I survived again, oh the strain.

I remember again, again.
How I survived again.

Clutched to the comet's tail.

When it all fell down.


05:05 - Flashback:

Looking for a guide in the sands
or amidst the fires.
Answers no one spoke of here,
in the island...
In the tower...

Foreign now,
here and about.
Rapture violent and raw.
Rapture.

Free from the spider's web
I find a way, back to the bay.

Mistaken, but there I stray.

Rapture.


07:40 - The Crawl, Part II:

Deafening silence.
Forces linger.

Sweating, long crawling by night,
racing for life.
To those who cannot be unified
stretch the divide.

To those who cannot be identified
just make them clearer.
To those who cannot be simplified
be their leader.

Crawling forward to rise up there,
to stand on others.

Knocking at the doors of empty homes,
I linger at the prospect but forlorn.


12:15 – On the Outside:

Eyes scorched by the sun,
to blind our host forever more.

Your torment will not hold.

Eyes scorched by the sun,
to blind our host forever more.

Night, come into my sight,
the heat will pulverize
rocks into dust and sand
like old glories.

Come into my sight!

Eyes scorched by the sun,
to blind our host forever more.


15:05 – First Contact:

See now on your own
what you long have sought.
The horizons stretch upon
the miracle you own,
but the beauty lies beyond.

Far beyond hate.
Further than fate.

You exist for your judgment.
Memories made of hatred,
heritage, your will.

Laugh for me, at your judgment.
Cry with me, for the island
fell from your hands,
suffered in vain.

Soon your race will realize as well.

Under the moon where we stood,
where lies the dust of my brood,
I understood, for now I see it too and rejoice in You.
Mother, your gracious divine, you entrusted me with your task.

And what am I, but a vessel of demise?
You entrusted me with your prize.

And what am I, but a vessel of demise?


20:45 – Farewell, with Love:

Here ends the journey that sparked from a dream.
Little is the door when you're breaking free
and I'm closer now than I've ever been
to the mind that will destroy all.

Here dies the ember, drown under stardust.
We wouldn't change it, but strove for more.
Hear my cry, it comes from inside:
THIS IS THE WAY TO DESTROY ALL
