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

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?

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

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.....

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?

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

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"
