ASCENDING

THE SPIRAL

DRIVING ME INTO THE GROUND

THE EARTH SHAKES

AND SHATTERS

SPLITTING WITH AN AWFUL SOUND

A TWISTED REFLECTION

OF ATLAS

AN ECHO

FROM LEGENDS

OF OLD

SELF-LOATHING

GRIEVING

FLAMES ARE

SEETHING

SELF-DOUBT

IT SWALLOWS ME WHOLE

FAITH IS FADING

SUFFOCATING

HOPE IS DYING

NO DENYING

SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND TAKE YOUR PILLS

WE'LL MAKE SHURE TO KEEP YOU ILL

STAGNATE ON THE VERGE OF DESTRUCTION

DENIAL

OF THE STATUS QUO

THERE ARE VOICES

CALLING

THUNDER

ROARING

BLACK TONGUES ARE TWITCHING

BENEATH

MY

FEET

FAITH IS FADING

SUFFOCATING

HOPE IS DYING

NO DENYING

SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND TAKE YOUR PILLS

WE'LL MAKE SHURE TO KEEP YOU ILL

DEFIANCE

IT IS THE SOURCE OF RAW

AND UNRELENTING POWER

THE WILL TO FIGHT

AND RISE AGAIN

A BLACKBIRD

ASCENDING FROM ASHES

DETERMINED

TO SING FOR THE SLAIN

IN THE FATHOMS

WHERE DEAD HEARTS LIE BROKEN

THERE'S A BLACK SPARK

A BEACON OF HOPE

THERE ARE VOICES

CALLING

THUNDER

ROARING

BLACK TONGUES ARE TWITCHING

BENEATH

MY

FEET

FAITH IS FADING

SUFFOCATING

HOPE IS DYING

NO DENYING

SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND TAKE YOUR PILLS

WE'LL MAKE SHURE TO KEEP YOU ILL

DEFIANCE

IT IS THE SOURCE OF RAW

AND UNRELENTING POWER

THE WILL TO FIGHT

AND RISE AGAIN

A BLACKBIRD

ASCENDING FROM ASHES

DETERMINED

TO SING FOR THE SLAIN

MOVING UPWARD

AND ONWARDS TO GLORY

MY HOUR OF TRIUMPH

AWAITS

CLOUDS ARE TORN ASUNDER

I AM

THUNDER

AND

THE SKIES ARE TURNING RED

FAITH IS FADING

SUFFOCATING

HOPE IS DYING

NO DENYING

SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND TAKE YOUR PILLS

WE'LL MAKE SHURE TO KEEP YOU ILL

NO

I WON'T TAKE THIS

DEFIANT

I STAND

DEFIANCE

IT IS THE SOURCE OF RAW

AND UNRELENTING POWER

THE WILL TO FIGHT

AND RISE AGAIN

RISE

AND RISE

AGAIN
