about

In this introduction to the album, our protagonist realizes the freedom associated with exploring the unknown, and begins his journey.

lyrics

Who had selected me?
Or had curiosity lead me to my fallacy?
I stand before you, unholy entity
Alas, I cannot turn away
Disturbing my serenity

That which tempts me appears as my amenity
So peculiar, a martyr I present to be

The fruits of my labor can only be so sweet
I resent man, endure my life, so melancholy
Unfamiliar, I felt love when she looked on me
She grasped my hand and spoke of new bliss
"if you follow me"

I’m alive
Uncharted, I explore
and my life changed forever
I’m alive
Disturbance, I endure
Now this power, I render

The mind transcends
The sun and moon eclipse before my eyes
What once was light is now consumed, and such is I
Into the depths I seldom go, but now obliged
Corrupted innocence, but somehow less confined
Imitated by the skies

Deep in my efflorescence, I’ve stymied holy growth
To whom I owe the credit for this newfound, vile throne?
Somehow, I’m omnipresent
Somehow, annealed my bones
This power I will cherish, rewritten into my tome

My dearly beloved, I haven’t forgotten your smile
But I admire your scowl

I’m alive, less confined
That which tempts me appears as my amenity
So peculiar, a martyr I present to be
