Among the Living
03:51
|

That moment you kissed me
My darkest dreams came true
My insecurities
Were burned away with you
I’ve woken up
Stepped in through the doorway
Time to grow up
And walk among the living
Secret societies
Rise up from underground
Hidden depravities
Scream out, but make no sound
Walk among the living
Engage the sacred rite
Bleed filth all over me
Make love to me tonight
One dance
And she’s under my spell
Engage the ritual
One kiss;
And she’s taken control
I’ll devote my whole life to her
I’ve woken up
Stepped in through the doorway
Time to grow up
And walk among the living
She holds the key
To ascend me higher
She’s everything
My lust, worship, and desire
I’ve woken up
Stepped inside the doorway
Time to grow up
And walk among the living
She holds the key
To ascend me higher
She’s everything
My lust, worship, and desire

100 Disciples
04:04
|

My fortress lies in ruins
My palace rings hollow
Last night I felt sensations
I thought I’d never know
Her body wrapped around me
Desire in her eyes
I’d give my fortune and fame
To feel it one more time
It’s all in vain
100 disciples could praise my name
But it’s not the same
To be embraced
To be enrobed in ivory and jade
And now the nights are sleepless
My body yearns for more
This hunger deep inside me
Begins to consume me whole
The emptiness surrounds me
The wasteland fills my eyes
I’d sacrifice all I’ve known
To relive that one night
It’s all in vain
100 disciples could praise my name
But it’s not the same
To be embraced
To be enrobed in ivory and jade
I volunteer
To shed myself of these trappings of old
They are so cold
I wait here
For her to spin her webs of jade and gold
To make me whole
I wait here
For her to spin her webs of jade and gold
To make me whole
I volunteer
To shed myself of these trappings of old
They are so cold
It’s all in vain
100 disciples could praise my name
But it’s not the same
To be embraced
To be enrobed in ivory and jade
Take me away

Dynasties Behind
04:05
|

Awaken
And feel the summer sun
For the first time
The phoenix
Has risen from the ash
To leave its youthful flash
So far behind
Goodbye
To my
Empire
I’ll give it all to her
To be of the divine
I’ll leave dynasties behind
Palace walls
Have crumbled to the ground
I see the sky
The jungle
Has called me to the wild
To feel a woman's wiles
The dragon
Has pulled me from the black
There is no turning back
I've seen the light
Goodbye
To my
Empire
I’ll give it all to her
To be of the divine
I’ll leave dynasties behind
Pure
I'll give myself to her
My body to offer
To gain an empire
Empire
I’ll give it all to her
To be of the divine
I’ll leave dynasties behind
Pure
I'll give myself to her
My body to offer
To gain an empire
Empire
I’ll give it all to her
To be of the divine
I’ll leave dynasties behind
Pure
I'll give myself to her
My body to offer
To gain an empire

Golden Temple

|

What’s in this Golden Temple?
I’ve been lead astray
Thought I found sanctuary
Veiled from the light of day
And if you bless me with your love
Then I will fall onto my
Knees
Bow down
And pray
For your love
What do you want to see now
I’ll be any way that you want me
Eyes caked in golden shadow
Just like a deity
Just like me, Just like you (low whisper right pan
The Temple drums are sounding
Percussive flesh and steel
This shattered heart keeps pounding
It blackens what is real
I'll share all my secrets with you
If you’ll just stay and love me
And even with my world askew
I'll sit and worship at your feet
Bow down
And pray
For your love
My gospel
Sings praise
To your love
I fall down
And pray
For your love
My gospel
Sings praise
To your love

Portal of Jade
05:12
|
|||
And yet no one could predict
The power in seduction
Desire is a weakness
I just need validation
My worlds breaking down
I've stepped into the new race
This goddess that I've found
I'll build temples to her grace
Feed
Emaciation to pay tribute
Seel
Encase yourself in porcelain
Bleed
And wash yourself of all your sins
Kneel
Divinity to be imbued
I’ve made offerings to you
My penance has been paid
You are my messiah
In the Portal of Jade
My own pleasure never meant much for me
So let me play out your fantasies
All that I want is to look in your eyes
And free the desire your body cries
And yet no one could have known
The inconsequence of it
This choice is not my own
Feel the blood rush with each kiss
I'll please you for prestige
Sacrifice for a golden seat
Next to you
Take me away from this place
Wrap me in your jade lace
Take me to where you lay
And shackle me to gold chains
I’ve made offerings to you
My penance has been paid
You are my messiah
In the Portal of Jade
Architect shrines to your face
Your image to preserve
You are my goddess
To please and serve
I’ve made offerings to you
My penance has been paid
You are my messiah
In the Portal of Jade
Architect shrines to your face
Your image to preserve
You are my goddess
To please and serve

Pantheon
03:41
|

My obsession with you
It cuts me like a knife
But I'll bleed out for you
If it will satisfy
I'll prove my love through sacrifice
So feed my appetite
My need to consume all
Devote your existence
For the pleasure of my pantheon
This credence built for you
Incense and candles flame
I'll give myself to you
I'll strip away my name
Give me your offering
I'll give you all of me
In return, wash away my pain
Give me your offering
I'll give you all of me
Limitless possibilities
I want to touch your face
Feel alabaster skin
I want to carve your name
On my pantheon to perfection
So feed my appetite
My need to consume all
Devote your existence
For the pleasure of my pantheon
So feed my appetite
My need to consume all
Devote your existence
For the pleasure of my pantheon
Give me your offering
I'll give you all of me
Limitless possibilities

Into the Unknown
04:04
|
|||
I paint my face of the warrior
Golden idol
Guide me toward
One more night alone
I don prayer beads around my wrist
Pray to gods grant me this tryst
Guide me through the unknown
I was designed for something more
Destined to walk this earth alone
I
Don't want to be alone tonight
I won't be denied
Lighting candles to ancient ways
Asceticism
Has gone to waste
Here's to future days
She is burned into my brain
Ivory goddess
In porcelain
Woman of my dreams
Destined to walk this earth alone
I'll journey into the unknown
I was designed for something more
I want to live life without love
Destined to walk this earth alone
I'll journey into the unknown
I was designed for something more
I want to live life without love

Under the morning sun I rise
Wipe the restlessness from my eyes
I pray at altars of desire
To break me from where I'm confined
One hundred golden flowers
Beside the jitan of
Virginity and fire
Pleasures to be found in
Lust, worship, and desire
With every touch and every kiss
Serves to remind me what I've missed
To be wanted for the first time
There's no drug with an equal high
A piece of fruit offered
Upon the gold feet of
The deified idol
To set you free from your
Love
Pain
Lust worship and desire
I
Pray
Just so I can find her
Now every word on every scroll
Is burned away in my new world
Prayers
I can almost taste her
Feel the strain
Die to satisfy her
Tears like rain
Dousing the passion's fire
Love the pain
Lust, worship and desire
Now every word on every scroll
Is burned away in my new world
Prayers
I can almost taste her
Feel the strain
Die to satisfy her
Tears like rain
Dousing the passion's fire
Love the pain
Lust, worship and desire

Go Alone
03:53
|
|||
I caked my world in darkness
To please her every grace
Modified my existence
All for just one quick taste
When I’m afraid and lonely
I worship at her shrine
She has become a deity
Her blackness so divine
That night we spent together
In each other’s embrace
Was the first time that I felt love
I know you’ve gone without me
But now I do not care
I’ll praise to your divinity
Absolving me of fear
The world I’ve built around me
All in service to you
My love will have no boundary
My soul to always be true
The feelings that she gave me
Can never be reclaimed
There’s emptiness inside us all
The memories we share now
Will never be replaced
Even if I have gone alone
Realities she shattered
Can never be replaced
I’ll never again be the same
These feelings deep inside me
Can never be explained
From here on out, I’ll go alone

Emptiness is All
04:40
|
|||
Nighttime falls
And I'm enlightened
I've been complete and still though I feel I'm
On my own
And yet we make love
Come dance with me to my heart's drum
Daylight comes
And I’m wide awake
September sun, for the first time I feel the warmth
Lay with me
Praise the love we make
It's not the same as it felt within my dreams, but
It's something new
I've abandoned desire
I'm free of want
All that is left
Is nothingness
I've emptied my conscience
I've cleared my mind
Opening up
To the spirits above
Worship with me
Pray with me
Wake from your bad dream
It feels
Like nothing
Emptiness is all
If everything
Is nothing
Then where do I go?
The perfection of wisdom
Cuts like a bolt
Shatters illusions
To transcendence
The past and the future
Of no consequence
All that exists
Is the present
Some scars never heal
Some blood won’t dry
But the frozen tears
Will melt from my eyes
Dance with me
Come and lay with me
Pray with me
Make me feel worthy
It feels
Like nothing
Emptiness is all
If everything
Is nothing
Then where do I go?
