BREACHING THE PARAGON music & lyrics: Ryan Schmidt I can't stand this mediocrity Lies stretching me thin And I won't back down Keep me off the ground Reaching towards the sky Will I ever pass this world? Forsaking all I've ever known Is this how my future will unfold? Breaching the paragon Pushing past perfection Expanding myself through the void Walking alone on this path so cold Gone Lost without a trace To find yourself Trapped within the middle of deep space Realize that you have nothing to live for Another chance to open the door Open the door Breaching the paragon Pushing past perfection Expanding myself through the void Walking alone on this path so cold solo: Ryan Schmidt Breaching the paragon Pushing past perfection Expanding myself through the void Walking alone on this path so cold Breaching the paragon Moving past reflection I'm transcending all space and time Awakening to a life so bold

Tabula Rasa 05:19
TABULA RASA music: Aaron Rom, Ryan Schmidt lyrics: Ryan Schmidt Restless sleep again Shaking from a ravenous fear Twisting my mind It's a devil's game I can't stay near Torturous mind games Checkmate it seems Remove the pieces from the board And wipe the glass clean Starting over Another blank slate Default to reset I can't accept this fate The demon has reared his head Stabbing me in the back A laceration of the soul Revealing all that I lack Finding my hell (Can't fight) Digging my grave (This pain) Bury the past (Reborn) Reborn a slave (In chains) (Finding my hell) Can't fight (Digging my grave) This pain (Bury the past) Reborn (Reborn a slave) In chains Starting over Another blank slate Default to reset I can't accept this fate Tabula Rasa Another blank slate Default to reset I can't accept this fate solo: Ryan Schmidt solo: Geoff Allen Starting over Another blank slate Default to reset I can't accept this fate Tabula Rasa Another blank slate Default to reset I can't accept this fate

Relay 06:19
RELAY music: Ryan Schmidt lyrics: Aaron Rom, Ryan Schmidt Returning to a memory Abandoned long ago a painful recollection a hurt I used to know Sending out a message I hope it’s not too late reaching for a signal and leave the rest to fate This script that I’ve been reading new meanings now appear The words on the page become clear When given the time to find a new way gather the strength to right this wrong I know now, I know what I must do to heal these old wounds that have been hurting you for far too long far too long. Echoes of the past returning now in waves a flood of haunted images is it too late to save Clarity is no comfort a scar that bleeds again screaming for a relay to find a different end This chapter I’ve been writing new meaning realized a chance to find closure and bury distant lies When given the time to find a new way gather the strength to right this wrong I know now, I know what I must do to heal these old wounds that have been hurting you for far too long solo: Geoff Allen When given the time to find a new way gather the strength to right this wrong I know now, I know what I must do to heal these old wounds that have been hurting you for far too long solo: Ryan Schmidt

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE music & lyrics: Aaron Rom I hope no one can see the join New name new face and not a hair out of place Fresh start look the part and wear the smile A new me you’ll see as I engage the day Chin up face out slow burn all the while This can’t be happening Rip off the mask Reveal yourself The urge you can’t contain Unstitched tick twitch unleashed uncontrollable Uncoil your history of violence Can’t come undone better hide the truth Dig down deep down push the past away Inside I need to hide the secrets that I keep Full strength just to hold the demons at bay Don’t let this fall apart Rip off the mask Reveal yourself The urge you can’t contain Unstitched tick twitch unleashed uncontrollable Uncoil your history of violence Sideways glances Can they see right through me Awkward exchanges Betray that I’m not what I appear to be Will I weather this storm I think it’s taken a turn Try to keep control or be destroyed Familiar urges start to burn solo: Geoff Allen Rip off the mask Reveal yourself The urge you can’t contain Unstitched tick twitch unleashed uncontrollable Uncoil your history of violence Rip off the mask Reveal yourself Unwind your history of violence

Herald 13:36
HERALD music: Geoff Allen, Aaron Rom, Ryan Schmidt, Tyler Von Moll, Mitch Alpaugh lyrics: Aaron Rom I. THE REVELATION A revelation comes to me the future is revealed A vision that must find the light no eyes can be concealed Hear me I’m the messenger chosen to show the way A louder voice that speaks through me that I cannot betray Lead them from the wilderness my mission is quite clear The herald of the end of days the time is drawing near Cry out to the masses salvation’s not too late The time has come to signify the reckoning of fate I will be here to save all that I can I will not fail you for I know the plan solo: Ryan Schmidt II. A CALL TO THE FAITHFUL Gather the faithful tune in to my voice the words of the prophet foretold bring down the fire from up in the sky the look in their eyes has gone cold Judgement is coming swift and severe the final decision at hand but if you believe and do just as I say you will rise up escaping the fate of this land I will be here to save all that I can I will not fail you for I know the plan III. ONE LAST WARNING FOR THE UNWASHED MASSES The beast will come for the souls of those who have turned away dragging down to hell the sheep who went astray Vengeance will be certain for those who don’t believe Promises of retribution leave no chance to grieve solo: Geoff Allen solo: Ryan Schmidt IV. THE HOUR OF RECKONING solo: Ryan Schmidt This is the moment The hour of reckoning This is the day I have waited for Fire will wash the sin away Vengeance Judgement V. BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS Open my eyes and look to the sky but the same old world still appears I promised them fire and pillars of salt so why are we all still here? I swore you had told me the hour and day did everything just as you said And all I have left is this growing confusion and anger at being misled Feeling the failure the sense of delusion left with the question of this false illusion Why have you abandoned me? What were the signs I missed? Unless I was mistaken and you don’t really exist?
