I opened the gate to give you answers A flood of thoughts slowly consumes you Clouding your mind, Bringing the hammer To our destruction we have descended Water fills your empty lungs Explaining your spell of silence I opened the gate to give you answers A flood of thoughts slowly consumes you Clouding your mind, Bringing the hammer To our destruction we have descended Is this final failure what you have foreseen? A life in ruins made from your lonely hands Is this final failure what you have foreseen? A life in ruins made from your lonely hands Cloud of deceit Covered my eyes Blinding the truth Chances given were forgotten You never realized You never realized Betray one who's faithful Focus your eyes within Betray one who's faithful Focus your eyes within Never will I lose sight of the reasons I now have light within my reach Life without you Life without you We find lessons in our faults and grow stronger We find lessons in our faults and grow stronger Take all the pain and darkness within your fears Make them your motivation for all days left to live I opened the gate to give you answers A flood of thoughts slowly consumes you Clouding your mind, Bringing the hammer We met destruction

How quickly the shadows hide the light light within my eyes Mercury rising once again The scales of my intentions Are tipping over My eyes are not defective Although red is all I see My bloodlust, it longs to be satisfied And this hunger is eating me up inside And this feeling's so familiar Fire coursing through my veins I guess I should've told you Not to be here when I change Close your eyes Your ending is soon to come Your last breaths of life will sound Like music to my ears I will be the last thing that you see For now these hands will set you free I will be the last thing that you see For now these hands will set you free Breathe deep, you will now know Lifeless empty pain Your screams, they bring me joy And this feeling's so familiar Fire coursing through my veins I guess I should've told you Not to be here when I change Close your eyes Your ending is soon to come Close your eyes Your ending is soon to come Your last breaths of life will sound Like music to my ears Like music to my ears I guess I should've told you Not to be here when I change

A life shortened by great fall This shall be to no avail Hand in hand we dove into this sea of shame Mask draped your face to hide reality From those who were there to judge our fate Oh that one who sat back and held our name I vowed that I would Take away all the pain Leave you with the space to breathe Realize all your dreams I found within my heart the strength to protect you A task I would take to the grave for you I found within my heart the strength to protect you A task I would take to the grave for you All things dear to you Were crudely stripped away Never returned to your dignity Although your mind Harbored truth, gave you refuge Safety from the storms That were brought on you Bringing solace Open up the skies One day I'll change Change the stars that were set up in your name Lead a life that's contrary to our fate Unveil truth within Unveil truth within All these efforts are for you (x4) Beauty shall come from this tragedy This is my sanctuary Where there's strength to breathe Where there's strength to live Where there's strength to breathe Where there's strength to live I solemnly swear that the reach of my screams will not fall on the deaf or the blind With every ounce of my undying breath I will not rest Honor you I found within my cave Light to heal all these wounds And now this vow I say to you This is all for you All for you All for you I know one day I'll see you again Deep within the cavern of that place I'll call home Until that day, I'll look to the stars Look to the stars Look to the stars

A battle forged in flames Whose ending will be seen By those who bear the mark Of a life once lost And we will bring them to their graves We will bring them to their knees They will perish by our hands By our hands they will perish Death is near, fear our flag Fear our flag, death is near Your defeat means rape and plunder A life you can live no longer Your sea of treachery Shall become your demise Your demise Our threats ring true From every draw of our breath Our threats ring true From every draw of our breath This is our last, our last Our last chance to live our lives Our last chance to make our stand A stand against the masses that rule our minds As I'm constructing these walls To protect all the things I hold dear to to my heart Within these memories I find calm and solace Driving me through the pain Focus hones my strength as I maim As my brothers fall I now still remain A lone wolf on the prowl Forward now I gain As my brothers fall I now still remain A lone wolf on the prowl Forward now I gain This is my purpose I've been waiting for Why I breathe, why I live As I'm constructing these walls To protect all the things I hold dear to to my heart Within these memories I find calm and solace Driving me through the pain Focus hones my strength as I maim We must stand our ground We must make you proud This ending was foreseen long ago Raise your hands This ending was foreseen long ago Raise your hands Raise your hands in victory Rejoice No longer are we slaves To other's demands Look where we stand now Rejoice Raise your hands up high

Come climb into our arms Using every rung nailed into our hearts Placed by all of your kind Set forth to peer upon our minds Love blossoms under your eyes Giving meaning to all the times You carved your name into our chest Pain worth nothing less Times have changed No longer do young come to grace our face ignorant eyes guide their way Our wrath will spread to seek the blame We hold the key to your time Your clock stop on our dime Be ready for one last chance Be ready (3x) Breathe our life That we so freely give to you Our filth brings your joy Cry thanks for the voice It screams repent, confess all your sins Then tragedy shall remain a mere memory Forget destiny, all known life ends with me Learn my strength, heed the last prophecy Forget destiny, all known life ends with me Learn my strength, heed the last prophecy For the love I hold in your kind I grant one final breath be ready for alarm Judgement has begun on all of your souls Sound the gong Your time has come Make this count Pull deep from within One last chance Your time has come Prepare yourself to escape certain death Realize your time has come Now fucking breathe Just breathe one last breath One last breath to save your life One last breath to save your race

From the start of our days Our innocence was boundless With this truth, you stand a chance To rise up above the caste With this truth, you stand a chance To rise up above the caste Live your life by your own accord Show this world how change is born Let these words set you free You will see Know yourself Know your heart Walk the path That you set forth Know yourself Know your heart Walk the path That you set forth Know yourself Know your heart Walk the path That you set forth Let these words Set you free You will see Watch as they live as fakes Terrified to leave the space That their lies have carved out Filled with anguish and filled with doubt It seems apparent This world is infected Redefining deception We won't We won't forfeit this fight From the start of our days Our innocence was boundless So never be afraid Of he who hides his face So never be afraid So never be afraid

I seek intently my own self regard Respect from all other's conceited minds This life I lead assumes my darkness from within A light to find your way Now journey on A light to find your way Now journey on Accept your demise A monster I am not Comfort is how my mold fits my frame I suspect you see otherwise Judgement who wastes away This is what I know This is what burns from my bones Rest that tired mind Your time is soon to come Honest I must be This struggle makes me weak at the knees Halt these cries for now Before I must break you down As the sun sets on your final hour Learn pain as I've lived it I'll break you down As the sun sets on your final hour Learn pain as I've lived it I'll break you down You must save yourself When faced with death, you will see a light Providing false hope for everyone It reaches for then falls short of grasp It gives a soul to lie ruin By my hands By my hands Feel my wrath Your pain is my one true love One true love Your sun has set Your time has come Show your strength Now that your eyes Have seen what lies Beyond your dreams You can feel what it takes To set mine free

about

We've decided to give you the option to pay what you'd like for The Dawning Of Dystopia. And we certainly haven't done this for any lack of quality in the music itself.

This was our very first full length album. We really put everything we had into both the music and the huge album release show we held in its honor. Since the CD's official release in 2011, we've gone through a lot of changes, both musically and personally. And now we've reached a point where we feel like a completely different group of guys, writing completely different music. Please stay in touch with us through all forms of online social media, and follow our ongoing transformation as a band :)

Also, PLEASE keep in mind that despite us having been around since 2008, we've still gained little to nothing financially from our music. We're happy to give you the option to have this music for free if you choose. But if you want to support us in our quest to achieve our dream of a fruitful musical career, please pay whatever you can. We won't specify an amount, but if you can spare it, we can use it.

Thank you so much for listening!!
