Threatened by Legend

Call it legend when the cameras decode my face.

No matter how portrayed, it won't change.

Congratulations, you have won nothing.

My existence can't abate all the reasons you're afraid.

I thought I had you when the road cut short.

Oh, Deceiver, I've deceived you,

So now I'm pleased to disbelieve you.

Pray you nevermore have the strength to reach the shore

'Cause once you're back I'll settle the score.

Pray you evermore that I'm locked behind this door

'Cause once I'm out I will even up the score.

Call it legend that the door can break.

No matter how portrayed, my body still remains

Untouched, unscathed by any blade.

Design a barricade to keep my will at bay.

Pray you nevermore have the strength to reach the shore

'Cause once you're back I'll settle the score.

Pray you evermore that I'm locked behind this door

'Cause once I'm out I will even up the score.

I can't believe this,

A bane with no disdain,

Infected by the source from which it came.

Define a curse.

I'm well rehearsed with breathing fiction.

Provide me my addiction

To break hearts beyond repair.

I am blessed to breathe your air.

I am blessed to breathe you in.

I am blessed.

My blood is cold.

My bones are old,

But you still have them.

Secondary Surface

The waves create a comely scene,

A sighting so inviting that no living man can seem

To gaze away. Though once pristine,

That brilliant shore is nothing more

Than a gorgeous fallacy.

Move faster.

Disaster is right on course,

And Nature shows no signs of remorse.

Take shelter in this casket.

Decorate the catacombs.

No grave can be a home

If you're digging on your own.

The virgin ground is pure and sound,

But silence can be violent when it forces noise to drown.

The margins have been crossed,

And all is lost in the flittering of dust,

So now we must find solid-ground.

Move faster.

Disaster is right on course,

And Nature shows no signs of remorse.

Take shelter in this casket.

Decorate the catacombs.

No grave can be a home

If you're digging on your own.

In exile, you'll wonder

How you wandered this far,

How you crawled in the dark.

Unabashed by all your faults,

Unaware of all your flaws

In the darkness you will crawl back home.

You'll crawl back home,

And dig that grave all on your own.

In Accordance to Prophecy

The turning of the year precedes our fate,

An anagram to solve.

In everybody's ear I am coiling their will to withdraw.

Claim to know me.

Dare speak my name,

Aware that once exclaimed

I'll seek them out.

This ends tonight.

A wrong can make a right

If you can fake the wrong direction.

Confess your crimes.

They can't be justified

If your noble lips are constantly shut tight.

My mind can read what your eyes have seen.

I'll catch you while you sleep.

A cant can't save thee from the prophecy.

Claim to know me.

Dare speak my name,

Aware that once exclaimed

I'll seek them out

Again.

This ends tonight.

A wrong can make a right

If you can fake the wrong direction.

Confess your crimes.

They can't be justified

If your noble lips are constantly shut tight.

Claim to know me.

See this barren form I've cursed.

Take his life, and end your thirst.

Breathe in slowly.

I'll be sleeping sound tonight

When your eyes go red to white.

Keep your fucking lips sealed tight.

All your words can't justify your actions.

You're wasting your breath to whoever will listen,

But it's unyielding Death who needs the convincing.

As Dionysus Once Told Me

Fight water with fire;

You'll drown out the fuse.

Fight water with water;

You'll never win, you'll never lose.

You played it safe.

Now slip into the deluge.

Hold on forever;

Your arms will surely fall.

Stand strong forever;

Impossible. You need to fall,

So rest your limbs

Or lose them all.

Weep over your mother;

Your tears won't give her life.

Sleep off them tremors;

Once you wake, you're numb inside.

So lay back down

If you're so set to die.

Fight water with fire,

You'll drown out the fuse.

Fight water with water,

You'll never win, you'll never lose.

You'll never change.

No, you can't be saved.

You needn't pray

When it's the gods who fix the duels.
