VLAD LYRICS

1. Wolf, Man, And Dragon

Man is both a dragon and a wolf,
As well as being a man
He stands between the serpent and the dog
As magical and beastial
The realms of Heaven and the bowels of Hell
Circulating through his blood
His mind is sharp and so are his teeth,
He strives to control them both

His majesty is within the heart
His power is in the mind
His flesh is his mortal vehicle
As a soul he flies through time

His destiny he commands himself
His fate, he surrenders
He walks with the gods on a path through the dark,
He serves as his own light

Domination of the self, the strength to be alone
These are the rewards which come with knowledge and wisdom
As a singularity between dualities,
You create a triality

The dimensions you know and which you call home
Are only the beginning
The plane of existence you think is vast
Is just the beginning

Run with the wolf
Fly with the dragon
Think as the man
Illuminate

2. Blackened

Blackened are my eyes
Blackened is my heart
Blackened is my soul
I become the dark

I am a man among monsters
I am a monster of men
I become the devil
To fight off my demons

This dichotomy
Of neutrality
Is what I will be
Until I'm set free

Blackened

Blackened are my dreams
Tearing at the seams
This reality
Is blackened to me

Ancients in the sky
Surrounded by night
Post-archaic light
Of stars that have died

Blackened

3. The Garden Of Eden

Perseverance is my only option
No matter how beaten down I am
I must always strive for honesty
I will find prosperity

The Earth is the biblical Garden of Eden
It provides me with all that I need
I must always be eternally thankful
What else shall I compare my home to?

This love I have is buried in you
Forgotten and left with no stone for the tomb
Resurrect this, and transcend this
I can only help you help your self

Take the reigns and steer us toward the future
You must strive now for what is the truth
You will find that you've nothing to lose,
Lest you find your ego to be you

4. I Hate

We're all being played for fools
Robbed from right under our noses
Falling deeper down a well
That's been dry for ages

Slaves to currency
Stolen from legally
Breaking our backs just to eat
On our sweat and work they feed

Everything I see
Steel, plastic, concrete
This society
Is slowly killing me

Our purpose here is lost
We care not for the cost
Of innocent human lives
Because what's mine is mine

We're wasting all our time
Believing other people's lies
We're scared of when we die
Because we know this deep inside

As the human race
We all just want a taste
Of being here in peace
We're all just too busy

Poisoned by our greed
On tears and blood we feed
This society
Is slowly killing me

Everything I see
Steel, plastic, concrete
This society
Is slowly killing me

5. Death Comes For Us All

[Instrumental]

6. Elizium

I have been famous men in history
I have been men who's names are lost in time
I have been animal before there were men
I have been alive before there was flesh

I have seen the volcanic rock of Earth
Drifting through space uncontrolled
I have witnessed the organisms flourish
I have seen the beginning of it all

You have been in the same places as I
You have been ethereal, you have been material
You have heard the ancient call
You have felt the resonance of it all

Welcome to the afterlife
This is Elizium, my friends
To a soul's life there's no death
Dying is not a cataclysmic end

You have forgotten this again
They have made you forget
For if you were to reclaim your power
You would be considered a threat

Welcome to the afterlife
This is Elizium, my friends
To a soul's life there's no death
Dying is not a cataclysmic end

7. Memories Of Betrayal

[Instrumental]

8. Christianity

Do not ask for anything
From Jesus of Nazarene
He was tortured, mangled, broken
He has nothing left to give

Nothing's good enough,
You thirst for his blood
Nothing is the best,
So you crave his flesh

He can not reach out his hand,
It is nailed to the cross
You deserve nothing from God
When you ask for too much

Your salvation will never come,
You never helped your self
No angel would bare the burden
Of accepting you as a demon

Pray for stigmata
Ask your God for pain
Beg and plead to be tortured
Then may you be forgiven [2x]

9. The Psychonaut

See through dreams, astral realms
Higher planes, different worlds
New laws of physics governing the soul
Sleep in the abyss, like a god
Mystic journey, psychic ruler
Claim your throne amongst the galaxies

Let your self die, adapt the void
Feel your self fly, enter the light
Forget your life, leave behind your mind
Let go of your body, the tides will wash you clean
Resonate in spacetime, travel into nowhere
Material left behind,
Transcend into higher paradigms

10. The Greatest Miracle

Drink from the springs of poisoned knowledge
You must gain your wisdom, abandon your pride
You have much to learn, can you face the trials?
Knowledge is not comfort, will you embrace it?

Lose your self in vision, spiraling gateways
Enter the gravity of the Universe destroyer
See through the perspective of stars that are devoured
This is where we started, this is where we meet

Everything to nothing, total obliviation
Nothing made everything, the greatest miracle
Phenomena no longer, enter the shaman
Sacred cycling of atomic energy

Enter the container, the vastness of darkness
An infinite nothingness containing lifeforce
The stars will shine much brighter, though they will seem smaller
There's no comparison when you cross the threshold

11. Across The Threshold

[Instrumental]

12. Roads

[originally by Portishead]

Can't anybody see?
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment,
How can it feel this wrong?

Storm in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself

I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
And surely that ain't right

Can’t anybody see?
We’ve got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment,
How can it feel this wrong?

Can’t anybody see?
We’ve got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment,
How can it feel this wrong? (2x)
