I know now what I am
I know what I must do
I know where to begin
The voices tell the truth
I feel them surround me
I feel them on my skin
I will do the bidding
For the voices from within
They keep telling me
Trust in yourself
No one knows my name
No one knows what I do
The ones who waste a life
I already knew
They all have no features
No soul, no life, no eyes
Reasons I can’t see them
Is my blessing in disguise
I’m breathing in the lies of humanity
Misleading to the point of insanity
I will become what they want me to be
And I’ll do what is needed to destroy this faceless society
I stalk the night, I am the one
Hide from the light, my will be done
This is my kingdom, my holy ground
I am immortal
You’ll never be found
I’m breathing in the lies of humanity
Misleading to the point of insanity
I have become what they wanted me to
Now awakened by darkness, emotionless
I will continue
I will continue

Climbing
05:30
|

I’ve got another hill to climb
But I don’t mind
Just try and take it in my stride
They couldn’t stop me if they tried
I'll crush those doubts by knowing that i can
Overrun
Undermine
Everything that stands before me
I’ll overcome in time
Sometimes it seems so far away
From that ground
Journey to a place they haven’t found
Can’t wait to be there looking……
I will keep on walking through the rain
Overall
Underline
I will stand by my mistakes if
They are of my design
Overrun
Undermine
Everything that stands before me
It starts to fall as I begin to climb
Starting where I stand
Untangling this thread
To leave the perfect strand
Starting at a crawl
But not prepared to fall
Free from indecision
Overrun
Undermine
Everything that stands before me
It starts to fall as I begin the climb

Faceless Women
04:25
|
|||
The sun was shining
and my expectations were high
I really need this
But there's a whisper
I can hear it in the back of my mind
and with every step it seems to get louder
Those faceless women always judging me
A claim i know they're sure to deny
We live
We learn
They took a part of me
So I'm expecting something in return
Find my centre
Take a breath and step into the role
Rejection
came to play the role of the straw
and the back has now been broken
and it doesn't seem to matter at all
the whisper that was plagueing me
Is screaming in the voice i used to hear before
The faceless women always judging me
I feel the fire burning inside
We live
We learn
They took a part of me
Now i'm expecting something in return
Find my centre
Take a breath and step into the role
The faceless women always judging me
I feel the fire burning inside
We live
We learn
They took a part of me
Now i'm expecting something in return
What's your name?

The Wilderness
04:02
|

Caught up in this moment
Can ee it in your eyes
That you can feel it too
Silence paranoia
You can't unplant this seed
cause harvest time is soon
If you think that we can wait forever
You're insane
Take my hand and i will lead the way
The place that i will take you
I've been there many times
You've never seen before
One with nature
Sense the danger
This cannot be happening to you
It’s happening to you
If you think that we could wait forever
You're insane
Take my hand and do just what i say
The feeling taking over is primal
Awakening
The grip you had on feeling entitled
Is loosening
Resistance is the rock that will break you
Just give in
The wilderness can sometimes be unkind
If you think that we could wait forever
You're insane
Played my hand, I guess you'll have to stay

Reflection
04:09
|

I
I can’t believe there was
A time when this wasn't my life
Walks with me forever
Stays by my side
Soon…..one day soon
A rainy afternoon
Might reveal everything
No scars
Simplistic life when you know who you are
Instincts have never let me down
But I know that I will
Things from the past might come forward and kill
Your vision of me
Now…..and you’ll ask yourself how
How you didn’t see
The evil inside me
The stars
Shining their light but you're still in the dark
Its something you don't want to see
So far….
So good at hiding behind this façade
I hope they never pull it down
I'll just try to be
What they want to see
And that is how i've always survived

Not Coming Home
04:54
|
|||
Ten years ago i asked the world a question
Do you know who i could be?
Not a word, not a sound, no one blinked, just a paragraph in the paper
Now you're gonna hear from me
Flying underneath the radar for so long
I am anonymous
I am strong
But like an artist who is craving recognition
I deserve a name
Keep calm, think straight. Maintain concentration
Nobody can ever know
No remorse, never guilt, I'm a God feeding his addictions
Always in control
Flying underneath the radar for so long
I am venomous
I am strong
But like an artist who is craving recognition
I deserve a name
Am i dreaming?
I'm dreaming
But if this is a dream
The blood under my fingernails
and scratch marks look too real
And if this is a dream
Maybe i will wake up
and the buried would have made it safely home
They're not coming home.....

My Sleeping Prize
05:08
|
|||
Almost defenceless when i turn on the charm
Drink unattended, you're leaving on my arm
Conciousness fades as the ritual begins
My pulse is racing, my senses heightening
I unlock the gate
and once again
my sleeping prize
the metaphor
you can't appreciate
Now you're in my world
Bathed in the moonlight that filters through the trees
This special moment requires a memory
Only a second to grab the tool of choice
Only a second, I know i should have listened to that voice
Now she's gone
Under night's cover
You can't hide from me
Under night's cover
You can run but you won't get away
Heed my warning
When i catch you then the pain will be intense
Surrender now and there will be no consequence
Under night's cover
You can run but you won't get away
HUNT! KILL!
HUNT! KILL!
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
Now i think that it might be too late

Turbulence
04:13

How did they find you
far beyond the tracks
As the media hovers
I know there is no way back
Feeling so humble
They're hunting to find
I must retreat into my mind
In spite of my feelings
This must be the end
I'll take my life into my own hands
They're coming (I'm fading)
It's coming (disdaining)
No feelings of guilt, just failure
In my darkest hours
Thoughts filter through
I hear you calling from beyond
They're coming (I'm fading)
It's coming (disdaining)
This isn't a dream
I really failed
How did they find you?
How did they find you?
What was my mistake?

Truth of the Hunter
03:34
|
|||
Downward spiral
Has this been a mission or a vice?
Curing disease, yeah the voices were pleased
But my thirst for memories, they just may come at a price
She has remembered my face - and now they know
They have discovered my crimes - remember my name
Their man-made laws don’t apply to me
The path of the righteous is crumbling under my feet
Channeled guidance
Acceptance of this new reality
Chapter has closed, now the underground calls
In time I will emerge with a new identity
Feels like they’re not far behind- and now they know
The ego is now satisfied – remember my name
Their man-made laws don’t apply to me
I will not answer to those who cannot understand
This world contracting
I make my move
Instinctual
I've got another hill to climb
Lose by accepting your fate - a coward's game
Win by not leaving a trace - I'll leave a mark
Their man made god spreading fallacy
A broken illusion, the truth of the hunter in me

Widower's Daughter
07:11
|
|||
A crow introduces the morning
and it's joined by the voices outside
It's been so long, I feel like i've crossed the divide
When the widower welcomed a stranger to work on his
land
Stopped looking over my shoulder
In a place where no questions are asked
It's been so long, I feel like i've buried the past
And the face of the widower's daughter is not like the rest
"Walk with me to the river" she said
Then time stood still as she spoke those words
That the voices we share in our heads have led me to her
To the wilderness
We can speak without words
Walking but our minds were dancing
to the chaotic music of life
She spoke of her father and his inclinations
To punish his motherless child
And the faceless men under our feet were those he inspired
Blood must be spilled on this union
As the crow introduces the night
It's been so long, so long since i've felt alive
Widower's daughter
Stood by the door as i watched her walk up to him
whispered in his ear
"you're just a faceless man"
