Mortal
My indecision
My indecision
My indecision
Jaded and I'm not up for debating
Initiate the collision
My vision will fall apart
I'm not aggravated
Thirty nights where I can hide from you
Dirty lies unfettered by the truth
Is that unnatural
If I avoid it all?
Secrets are things that we bury
in depths so shallow
Uncovered when
Gone
(We’re gone)
This shred of patience
Gone
And I cannot believe you
Jaded and I'm not up for debating
Initiate the collision
My vision will fall apart
I'm not aggravated
Sweet, it's blossoming
So casual
It's gradual
You won't see
My indecision
My indecision
My indecision
I cannot believe you
I cannot believe you
Gone
This shred of patience
Gone
And I cannot believe you
I cannot believe you
Sweet, it's blossoming
Changes so casual
It's gradual
You won't see
Thirty nights where I can hide from you
Dirty lies unfettered by the truth
Is that unnatural
If I avoid it all?
Sweet, it's blossoming
So casual
It's gradual
You won't see

Titan
If you saw me save the world,
Would you believe that I was jaded?
Overwhelmed
By the parasites
They stir unsatiated
I feel them tearing through The pieces dislocating
There's nothing left to chew I'm disassociating
You steal my breath
You drain my life
You take my voice
Until I'm nothing more
than what makes me wrong
If I've done so much good
then what makes this feel so wrong
I, I'm getting lost
In the crowd
As I'm gasping
Plagued by my own wraith
In a shroud
Suffocating
These hands keep pulling down
When I stumble in a blur
And my words don't have a purpose
Just a shell
I feel paralyzed
By the cancer I've created
I feel it coursing through
Every cell that starts mutating
There's nothing left to do
When the colors feel like fading
You steal my breath
You drain my life
You take my voice
Until I'm nothing more
I, I'm getting lost
In the crowd
As I'm gasping
Plagued by my own wraith
In a shroud
Suffocating
These hands keep pulling down
If you saw me save the world
Would you believe?

Wretched
Sinking further as you dare to wander
Do you fear the hatred down below?
Thoughtless hunger echoes in a whisper
Can you hear the voices down below?
Here to feed, the horde is just here to feed
Here to feed, the horde is just here to feed
Release me in the fray
Your fever driven craze
Release me, devastate
Let Hircine guide your way into the bloodlust
It writhes beneath your skin
Until you beg it to begin
It breaks apart your bones
Calling you further down below
You'd kill for her
You'd kill for her slowly
You'd kill for her
You'd kill for her slowly
So then
Release me in the fray
Your fever driven craze
Release me, devastate
Release me, devastate
(Way into the bloodlust)
(Guide your way into the bloodlust)
Release me in the fray
Your fever driven craze
Release me, devastate
Release me, devastate
Release me in the fray
Your fever driven craze
Release me, devastate
Let Hircine guide your way into the bloodlust

Alchemy
Procured by alchemy
I seek the knowledge I need
Frenzied in scattered streams
Just watch them flood in a savage spree
Twisted by chaos dreams
You feel them swarming in vicious greed
Curious, if you can fathom
The limitations of your control
Flourishing, in cycled patterns
I'll keep you happy just breathing
Drink me,
You know I can guide you through oblivion
Trust me,
I know what's inside you makes you bleed
Crawling deeper
Crawling deeper
Crawling deeper
Burrowed inside of me
Buried inside of me
(Buried inside of me)
Take the poisoned cup
You cannot hide behind gold shrines
You can be the one in crisis - give into your greed
Drink me,
You know I can guide you through oblivion
Trust me,
I know what's inside you makes you bleed
Like a river
Like a river
Just watch them flood in a savage spree
Like a river
Like a river it's drowning me
Drink me,
You know I can guide you through oblivion
Trust me,
I know what's inside you makes you bleed

Nascent
See these strings
Tied to ways they stray
We could show you
Alternate graves
Stay the path
That we carve out of time
Begging for meaning
In desolate skies
You can sleep and I
Will step into your madness
Your exponential
Our progress for the ages
Was made from the ruin
Of yesterday
Fog like a sadness
Enshrouding faint memories
We'll stay with you
We'll stay with you
In blind eternity
We will walk
Above monuments of time
The stone crumbles under your steps
As softly as I leave your mind
You can sleep and I
Will step into your madness
Your exponential
Our progress for the ages
Was made from the ruin
Of yesterday
Altered sight
Potential of a broken line
Altered sight
Potential of a broken line
You can sleep and I
Will step into your madness
Your exponential
Our progress for the ages
Was made from the ruin
Of yesterday
We will walk
(See these strings)
Above monuments of time
(Tied to ways they stray)
The stone crumbles under your steps
As softly as I leave your mind
(We could show you)
(Alternate graves)

Nirn
I'm so tired
Tap in beneath in the sunken mire
A place, a refuge for all our kind
And there you'll find
Your thoughts unwinding
Take in the scent of eternal green
She permeates in everything
So intoxicating yet she's human in a strange way
You offer it all
You offer it all to me
Sacrifice in vein
Just to satiate
An alter ego that won't even surface
You offer it all
Offer it all
In the depths of your mind
Let the echoes refine
They can radiate murmurs too
Through the rift you unbind
All the ghostly divines
Circulating to follow you
Follow you, until she's nigh
I'm so tired
You offer it all
You offer it all to me
Sacrifice in vein
Just to satiate
An alter ego that won't even surface
You offer it all
Offer it all
What makes your life organic?
Are you tuned to a second nature?
Effervescent, effortless
Just tell me do you breathe?
​
Justify your existence
Testify your commitment
You offer it all
You offer it all to me
Sacrifice in vein
Just to satiate
An alter ego that won't even surface
You offer it all
Offer it all
You offer it all to me
Offer it all
You offer it all

Sepulchre
Seek me out when you question existence - blind of tomorrow
Seek me out, I won't let it destroy you
Can you feel the dark as it closes over you?
Did it make you believe it's true to you
That you alone would make it through the other side to
See worlds colliding
Behind protective glass
I will shield you
From the hate
Bent on consuming
Vile polluting shade enraged
But he will not reach you
As long as I'm here to stay
Hope stained with sorrow
Can you feel the dark?
Can you feel the dark?
Bent on consuming rage
Dread made me hollow
Hope stained with sorrow
Rage
Dread made me hollow
He is bent on consuming
Vile polluting shade enraged
But he will not reach you
As long as I'm here to stay
Seek me out
Bent on consuming
Vile polluting shade enraged
Seek me out
And I will shield you
From the hate

Dawnbreaker
Sickened by the absence of my will
Give me retribution
They whisper schemes to vessels in their sleep
And they grow so restless
Count on my word
(Cleanse the soulless)
Hear my vow of blight lustration
(In kind transience)
Kill the revenant
(Transience)
Transience
As I fell in love with the sunlight
It made me feel alive
Desire glows so familiar
As dawn skies
Slip into the draw of my energy
(Bathe in faultless light)
Sever clean the cry of my enemies
(Bask in silent pride)
Summoned by the call of my energy
(In silent pride)
As I fell in love with the sunlight
It made me alive
Desire glows so familiar
As dawn skies
As I fell in love with the sunlight
It made me alive
Desire glows so familiar
As dawn skies
(Silent pride)
Summoned by the call of my energy

Only
Dance to the earth
And hear her breathe
Palms to the sky
Like floating leaves
Heavy presence
Silence all around
Immortal hunger
Dwelling in the ground
Lead me home
I didn't know how far I'd wandered
I'll follow you
Into the eventide
Feel the glow
I plead for idyllic water
The voice of the root mother
Connected as I roam
Make me in stone
I'll be your altar
My loyalty's shown
I'll never falter
I'll follow you
I need you to be in my life
A version of your design
(Design!)
And I can be yours for all my time
(For all my time!)
Lead me home
I didn't know how far I'd wandered
I'll follow you
Into the eventide
Feel the glow
I plead for idyllic water
The voice of the root mother
Connected as I roam
(Lead me home)
You are the one
That brings me back
I'll follow you into the eventide
Lead me home
(Dance to the earth!)
Feel the glow
(Into the eventide!)

Coldharbour
Keep my soul in your possession
I'm afraid to lose my faith
If I hold on till the morning
Would you claim it for me?
If you kill my flesh tomorrow
Then I'll take my final breath
It'll turn into a last laugh
And I'll lay in a silent death
You could drag my skin until it bleeds
You could crush my bones to hear my screams
To die
If you kill my flesh tomorrow
Then I'll take my final breath
It'll turn into a last laugh
And I'll lay in a silent
Death
Keep my soul in your possession
I'm afraid to lose my faith
If I hold on till the morning
Will you claim it for me?
If you kill my flesh tomorrow
Then I'll take my final breath
It'll turn into a last laugh
And I'll lay in a silent death
