Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy Album Lyrics

Eyes that shall never see
A life chosen not to be fulfilled
Fate does not choose a life
Before the hand of Man

As the ants march you to your grave

Welcome to this violent station
The termination proclamation
All who enter here are killed
Prepare for death, forget will

The lines of right and wrong
Are blurred in the name of freedom
As those who cannot speak
Assume their positions and die

Feel the hook pulled by the system slave

Welcome to this violent station
The termination proclamation
All who enter here are killed
Prepare for death, forget will

Forget will

[Solo]

Dead eyes can never see
The beauty of disorder

As the army ants march you to your grave

Welcome to this violent station
The termination proclamation
All who enter here are killed
Prepare for death, forget will

Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise

What do you want from this world
What do you want from this life
what do you want from this season of sorrow
That's waiting to swallow the light

Rise, rise
From the poison

Rise, rise
To your throne

Rise, rise
From the poison

Rise, rise
To your throne

Your poison throne is obscuring,
The lesson required before the burning

What do you want from Humanity
Are we Hollowed and stained
Maybe we're all just useless
Or maybe we're all enslaved

Rise, Rise,
From the Poison

Rise, Rise
To your throne

Rise, Rise
From the poison

Rise Rise,
Assume your throne

Your poison throne is obscuring,
The lesson required before the burning

Sit upon your poison throne you little drone
Make your plans and shift your dreams
And smash them all to hell

[Solo]

Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise

Your poison throne is obscuring
The lesson required before the burning

Sit upon your poison throne You little drone
Make your plans and shift your dreams
And smash them all to hell

""Moonrise (Through Mirrors Of Death) by Nevermore Turn to the left turn to the right If you judge me for my faults My soul searches for flight Awake in my violent daydreams I am lucid and torn I sleep dreaming in the netherworld Obsessed and reborn I feel the moonrise Inside my head I feel the consequence Of everything you left unsaid And now you're dead... Is this soliloquy or psychosis Or self-hypnosis Burn to the right turn to the left If society won't accept you You scream into the grave Welcome to the underground Welcome to your grave Welcome to your beautiful mistake I feel the moonrise Inside my head I feel the consequence Of everything you left unsaid And now we're dead... [Solo] Turn away from the light Turn into the right If you judge me for my faults My soul searches for flight Welcome to the underground Welcome to your grave Welcome to your beautiful mistake I feel the moonrise Inside my head I feel the consequence Of everything you left unsaid And now we're dead...""

She was born in 1617
She tasted like the wind always chasing her dreams

She was a tortured soul in pain
She whispered this dark refrain
"You're not alone, so never be afraid
We are the cold and beautiful, you are the blue insane"

Sometimes she moves the chairs downstairs, and runs away
Sometimes she makes yourself known to those unawake

And the Maiden spoke
In stuttered streams
As if her soul was dead
She spoke of nothing

She is the infinite
She is the deranged
Her sorrow drips the blood
Of the unfortunate and pained

She was a shameless soul stranded in the rain
Her redemption never came, as she slowly went insane

Sometimes she whispers in my ear
"There's nothing to be afraid of"
Sometimes she moves the chairs downstairs

And the Maiden spoke
In stuttered streams
As if her soul was gone
She spoke from the land beyond

And the maiden spoke to me

[Solo]

Sometimes you whispers in my ears
"There's nothing to be afraid of"
Sometimes you moves the chairs downstairs

And the Maiden spoke
Inside my shattered dreams
As if her soul was gone
She spoke of the land beyond

She was just another system slave
Just another system slave
Being led to the grave

Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more

Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained

Here we are again in this simple valley of deception
Where does it go
Is it swimming against the flow?
Or does no one ever know
Destiny, tranquility, validity of soul?

And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands

Within the cold absolute
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel

[Chorus:]
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained

So the river ends
In this calamity we call heaven
Is this perfection
Are we spinning into the grey again
And transforming into the insane

And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands

Within the cold absolute
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel

He will shelter you from harm
And sing to you throughout your darkest hours

[Chorus]

Take me to the southern shore within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained

[Solo]

[Chorus]

What grows upon this rock
And its urgent sense of tragedy
Time has stopped

Welcome to planet Earth

Tread your steps carefully
For the ground can twist and turn

Tread your steps carefully
For the ground may twist and turn
Choose your friends wisely
For just when you think you know someone
They could abandon you with scorn
Oh little one

Your mother will hold you in her arms
Your father will teach you his dignity and charm

Welcome to planet hate, to this emotion that I berate
Yet some people force me to feed my violent seed
What have we become, the damage remains and cannot be undone
Oh little one
Your brother may stab you in the back and laugh
Your sister will love you unconditionally as all love should be

What have we become, the damage remains and cannot be undone

[Solo]

Stare into the sky with newborn perfect eyes oh little one enjoy your time
There will be heartache there will be rain and joy I can't explain
My precious little one explore your time

Your mother will hold you in her arms and smile
Your father will teach you his dignity and charm

Thread the path of sin and sorrow, swim into the red
If you slowly pull the noose
You choose to walk as if you're dead
Choke until you cannot feel
The pressure never ends

Without morals we wither
We might as well be gone
I believe in the other world
We cannot right our wrongs
If you lie to me, you slander me, this is why I hate you
Your petulant seed is a dying breed, this why I hate you
Scream into the grave

Unrelenting and unrepentant
Suffer guilt in shades
Choke until you cannot die
The lines refuse to bend

Without morals we wither
We might as well be gone
I believe in the other world
We cannot right our wrongs
If you lie to me, slander me, this is why I hate you
Your petulant seed is a dying breed, this why I hate you
If you lie to me, you slander me, this is why I hate you
You lie to me, you slander me
This is why I hate

[Solo]

Roll the dice, the plot device is fatality in disguise
Choke until you until cannot feel, the pressure never dies

Lie to me, slander me, this is why I hate you
Your petulant seed is a dying breed, this why I hate you
You lie to me, you slander me, this is why I hate you
You lie to me, you slander me
This is why I hate

I am the black lord
I am a slave
Our world is dying
We are all naïve

I am the darkness
I am the grave
I am the voice you love to hate

Blame the world or blame yourself
Or just accept what cannot change

Your shameful burden burns into your skin
Suffer your sins

I am the black lord
I am a slave
You are the aftermath
The blue insane
You are the shamed
You are the drained
You cannot change the world
You cannot change

Blame the world or blame yourself
Or just accept what cannot change

Stack your stones with blood and bones
And build your wall of separation
Smash yourself and kill your friends
And build your wall of separation

The day you built the wall our world was dying
The day you built the wall you were the bastard

[Solo]

The day you built the wall our world was dying
The day you built the wall you were the bastard

Destiny followed the sun and infinity bent
Into twilight's last slave, into the gray again

Until tomorrow, follow the sun
Until tomorrow, in your eyes

She comes to me in waves of shock until I'm drained
I accept her orders, I accept her pain
Until tomorrow, follow the sun
Until tomorrow, she comes in colors

She likes to play acid mind games
Within our faults and without blame

Until tomorrow, follow the sun
Until tomorrow, she comes in colors

She comes in colors and waves until I'm drained
She comes again

[Solo]

Until tomorrow, follow the sun
Until tomorrow, follow the sun
She comes, she comes in colors
She comes, she comes, she comes in colors

Blank in your selfish state
And enraged

Never should one die
That cannot decide the truth
Never should one cry
So suffer the children

The snakes arrive to assist and surround the stage
Black expression is force-fed rage

Create, and deny
Your subversive wings
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
Justify your shame
The obsidian conspiracy is rising

Regardless of the consequence
We drown inside our arrogance
We choose to bring our nameless
To this false place so shameless

Never should one die
That never could see absolute
Never should one cry
Let nothing destroy them

The blades align in indifference they feed the plague
This black agenda of hate is born of pain

Create, and deny
Your subversive wings
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
Justify your shame
The obsidian conspiracy is rising

The coming waves in silent rage
Will storm the sea of glass
And in its wake all the burnt remains

[Solo]

Never should one die
That cannot decide the truth
Never should one cry
So suffer the children

Create, and deny
Your subversive wings
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
Justify your shame
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
The drowning sage can't feed the silence
The firestorm can never be heard
These are my last words
