1.	The Downfall 04:59	lyrics
You may not believe this, But mankind is sucking our souls dry, It's leeching on what used to make us whole. And yes, from youth, we're being enslaved to ignorance, and corrected with the rod of so-called justice. This wounds leave scars, and these scars trace the outline of a modern day holocaust. Mankind is sucking our souls dry. I have a dream that one day this planet and its people are blown away. That every great city and state deflates like our hope in the autumn sun. I have a dream that one day all mankind falters and falls before the might of one great cataclysm. This is my revelation. Mankind spreads its propaganda to the deviant masses. The downfall has begun. Our children: brainwashed, infected, dissected, lead this horror show to its final climax. Marching with banners alight, chanting as they go into the aether. Society, we're a rotten fruit. Society, we're a rotten fruit. Society, we're a rotten fruit. we're festering, we're full of maggots. I stand alone on this wind-swept road. all is silent and all is calm and a gentle breeze rings in a new era all is silent, all is calm as I stand so proudly I had (yes I had) a dream (a dream.) I made it reality. I had a dream and today this planet and its people are blown away, Every great city and state deflated like our hope in the autumn sun. I had a dream and today all mankind faltered and fell before the might of one great cataclysm. This is my revelation.
2.	My Hour Of Need 05:09	lyrics
mortality is our weakness break me of these bonds show me strength beyond strength lift me up and show me the path to heaven or I will bring you down, and show you the path to hell. a pale blue light radiates across my face it illuminates this overrated shell I call my home My eyes, torn with corruption, weep so silently and vodka chases away the sanity I once called my own I know I've dug this chasm myself that my pathetic phantasm now lies in On my own, I am just a man. Will you help me? Can you hold me? Bring me out of hiding. Bring me up from this hole. Bring me out of darkness. Bring me into the light. Bring me up and bask in the sunlight with me. looking up, I see a thread descending into this brittle heart I thought I had lost It temps me just like a fevered addiction. Strength, my only weakness, fails me as I fall That which made this masque closes in The one hope I still had quickly trickles away Closing in overhead, framing the sunlight like dew in the morn, and all seems to be lost This pale blue light fades and the will to fight, it drifts away I know of nothing, absolutely nothing, that can save me now Stay a while, stay with me, as I draw my final breath how could you abandon me in my hour of need? stay a while, stay with me, don't be shy and don't be scared I know you've wanted this all of your life Bring me out of hiding. Bring me up from this hole. Bring me out of darkness. Bring me into the light. Bring me up and bask in the sunlight with me. I know I've dug this chasm myself that my pathetic phantasm now lies in On my own, I am just a man. Will you help me? Can you hold me? Bring me out of hiding. Bring me up from this hole. Bring me out of darkness and into the light. Bring me up and bask in the sunlight with me.
3.	Asylum 07:15	lyrics
faint echoes of times gone by shift the balance tipping what used to be so stable I have lost that which I trusted in most. all hope, it seems, has withered away like a flower in the midst of a winter storm faint echoes of times gone by and the stirrings of something greater than myself linger in my soul I am no longer alone. I feel something groaning, bloating my skin. It's no longer safe to be me. faint echoes of times gone by stir something deep within and the moorings I had now shift and sag and slip away they slip away it all just slips away A slow of the pulse, a thickening of the blood, I am becoming that which I fear This heart's last beat radiates out into the night as I fall through the floor into reality once more. Am I still alive? Am I still breathing? Can you hear my heart beating? Am I alive, or am I just existing for a little while? Am I alive? Hatred consumes me, third degree burns blisters pop as I boil inside my stomach churns as it all falls away head is spinning, what is becoming of this man I once thought I was as the last shard shatters I keep falling into this custom-made hell deeper and deeper into this new reality all of my being, my very essence it's all being taken away and I am no more I and the core, we become one falling no more, I am gone The corruption is complete. That which I had locked away rises up from the surface. The corruption is complete. Am I still alive? Can you hear my heart still beating? Am I alive, or am I just existing for a little while? Locked away, I cry out for revolution banging at the walls of my cell no one can hear my cries The horror is here to stay my attempts to take back control fall on deaf ears sinking into this custom-made hell I know I am here to stay One, two, three, four, I am dying once more.
4.	On A Mid-Winter's Eve 03:35	lyrics
As the snow drifts towards its climax my heart waxes and wanes your words, still so cold hang so dearly on my ears This mid-winter wind picks up, numbing my cheeks, my heart, my soul. Bitterness and hatred ensue, as I walk alone on this cold winter night. the gentle crushing of last night's snow fall rings into being the decay of hopes and dreams your voice, I swear I hear it whistling through the pine trees. If you truly wanted me so badly, why did you shake me down and break me animosity ensues, as I walk alone on this cold winter night. There is a deep-set chill no coat can ever warm, A deep-set glacier no sun could ever melt. There is the toughest winter In my heart that summer will never reach.
5.	Hotel Check-Out 03:24	lyrics
We check into the hotel, your eyes are bright, like a child's. We spend that first night staring up at the darkness. Waking up and I see that you're not there, I wait for you, I wander into the abyss. Your shape emerges, I find you hanging on the end of my words. the blood dripped so slowly from her neck onto the shower and across the mosaic of the floor the twilight sun paraded itself across your shallow cheeks We kiss, embrace for the final time, your eyes, once like a child's, have grown so old and faded. I let you go, I let you hang on the end of my words. I spend that night wishing I had never let you go. Wishing you were there staring into the void with me. I shift and I shutter and your eyes come into view, floating in the void. Your eyes, your face, it haunts me, haunts me as I go, go towards the exit sign. Hotel check-out, leaving it all behind.
6.	That Which Was Broken 04:04	lyrics
The reckoning has come at last the final strum on the strings of gaia as one, we congregate around his throne kneel down, we say, kneel down and pray, as you've sown, so shall you reap your day of judgment comes at last You were a god among men, but as a man you shall die, and fall as any other king corrupted by power and greed justice is at hand as a man, not as a king, your words have betrayed you on this day of days convicted, you stand humbled, humiliated as a man you'll share our fate the blood of the innocent cry out from the grave they seek vengeance, only to be sated with your head you sought to rewrite history, but history will rewrite you you're just a side-note that became arrogant now you'll burn for your actions in the hell created for us may your ashes be a warning on the wind to all those remaining in your footsteps as the vermin you are, we are the heel that snuffs out your oppressive regime and your shattered bones, a testament to judgement and justice then they seized the king and led him away in the high courts, he fell before them as they dragged him screaming to the courtyard the king felt fear for the first time and as one single tear fell from his iron eyes they set him alight
7.	Void Intimacy 04:55	lyrics
knowing what lies at the end of the pathway somewhere outside of time, beyond the scope of one lifetime I walk onward in the thickening overgrowth the call of the night sings to me beckoning me further into the grotto I see her there in the sanguine sunrise and with one finger she draws me in void intimacy, we are one deep inside her I find reprieve and in the hills of her eyes I find relief but in her dulcet tones there lies deceit and in the valley of her soul lies depravity and at the climax I know the infinite and as the sun sweeps overhead into twilight I say my goodbyes, and with memories I won't soon forget I turn around and walk away a new night blooms a new scent carried on the wind a new seduction calls to my core and as a rift in the wildwood rends its way into my sight a new pilgrimage begins into the void
8.	And Then The Fall 04:06	lyrics
how dare you stand before us with accuastions of evil? how dare you stand there with your mockeries and foul words? depart from us, you cursed ones, into the flames traveling further into the depths my wings disintegrating and my marrow seeping out into the badlands I go where I know I'll wade through the shallows and shadows deep In the call of the heavens I'm laid low in the valley smitten against the grain, I know time is all but lost with a feeble body and a broken soul from their grasp I retreat into gahenna even if it is the end of all I love this fight will hear my warcry with my calling steady and assured I lock step into the canyon below before me lies the plains of regret a dale of dry bones the remains of those held high with hope they fell before their time, but fell they did in defiance, I trample o'er their remains and in this chasm of trembling I feel remorse I among them survived, and I alone must stand and fight to the end no matter the cost this world will not fall while I still draw breath standing at the gates of new found hell demanding entrance beyond the blood-rusted cage and in the high court, I stand, war-torn and scarred before those who betrayed all of my kind In their stained silk they stand with swords in hand judgement begins
9.	Portraits Of Bleaker Days 02:05	lyrics
lost in thought and in the maze of my eternal mind dishonored by the deprecation of civilities and in the eyes of humanity the treasure still holds true lost in thought and in the maze of our eternal minds

about

Originally intended as a remake of old material, this album grew into something more refined, more hard-hitting, more progressive, and more emotional. "Portraits Of Bleaker Days" combines the old with the new, and tosses in a few new tricks into the mix.
