2.	It Fell From the Sky 06:14	lyrics	buy track
Searching for signs of life a million miles away I have arrived there now To analyze and deplete Sent down to earth Crashing into sea Washed ashore I open my eyes The burning sun blinding my sight I cover my eyes with these new hands Staring down at my reflection from the sea disguised behind a being that's not me Home is so far from here Soon I’ll depart from here I'm walking through this unknown world on a mission to destroy Frail and weak behind this flesh Simple thoughts of a simple mind the fragile existence of mankind How did they survive all of this time? Home is so far from here Soon I'll depart from here I'm walking through this unknown world on a mission to destroy I rose up to my feet on that shore a lonley sparrow decends on to my hands and looks me in the eyes From endless space I've come Beyond the moon and sun To drain your land of all Time right here is done I rose up to my feet on that shore The lonley sparrow flew from my hands Now my mission lies ahead to gain their trust from behind this mask Home is so far from here Soon I'll depart from here I'm walking through this unknown world on a mission to destroy
3.	The March to Oblivion 06:30	lyrics	buy track
From the dawn of their time a dark history of blood subhumans with low instincts praising their false idols Raise the flags of wars never won A species of pathetic fools They build their towers to watch them fall They are spiraling into doom They pray to gods who were never there Destroying their own land until they fade away So the time has come to take their pain away Burning forests caused by man Oceans of the dead Stolen life of those who can't fight The selfish ways of man Skies turn black they cannot breathe choking until the end Self extinction is their decision Nothing but their echoes will remain They pray to gods who were never there The state of decay of a planet in doom It's too late death will be soon What did they do? What can they say? A soft ray of light appears through the dark Like the moon she glows The sun lights her face Our energy connected from stars apart The day will come when she’ll see behind these eyes Time runs out, I’m conflicted to the end She shines through dark, I’m conflicted to the end Screaming through darkness, I’m conflicted to the end Screaming through darkness, I’m conflicted to the end
4.	Angel of Doom 06:47	lyrics	buy track
A focus shift in me As a broken world waits to end Within my mind I'm confused and blind Surrounded by her warming light Her beauty within, within her soul Begging me, begging me to stay If she knew the truth would she beg me to stop? My mission was clear until I met her Now it’s hard to turn my back A focus shift in me As a broken world waits to end Golden love sent me Two souls fly in peace Her touch like a shot in the arm a magnetic force unable to part home is now far from reach If she knew the truth Would she run away? If she knew the truth would she beg me to stop? Then without warning she had fallen ill Helpless I felt as it was too late My Angel of light, my precious treasure Now ridden with guilt I reveal myself Clutching her hand as she cracks a smile With a final embrace and a last good bye I gently took her life

6.	The Ups and the Downs 07:18	lyrics	buy track
It's cold at night without you by my side The ups and the downs, this life can be so hard Lost all fight in me alone with no one around Soon I'll be just fine This world I'll leave behind I'll take one thing with me My memory of her The tears they flow, this world comes crashing down on me The beating sun, it shines, shining down on me
7.	Weight of Two Worlds 09:56	lyrics	buy track
My time on this planet ends here I shall not return Oceans will begin to rise, they'll sink This tiny star will die on it's own Torn in between these two worlds Something inside my mind opened up I was engulfed with selfishness Into the darkest realms of my heart I got lost within this skin Suffered a tragic loss but they'll never know My lie,kept inside Vanished, Out of sight I'm turning human Nothing to be had Damage, can't be reversed They're only human Through the darkness love exists Felt in my heart the pain and grief Now I know why they cry Lost within myself of who I was My lie,kept inside Vanished, Out of sight I'm turning human Nothing to be had Damage, can't be reversed They're only human They don’t listen, they don’t care They left their planet in dark despair Long lost hope It's too late They burned the land, the seas have dried But for her I would have stayed and tried Long lost hope It’s too late Faced to faced with their greatest fear now they know The weight of two worlds submerged in tears now they know Now it's time to go My lie,kept inside Vanished, Out of sight I'm turning human Nothing to be had Damage, can't be reversed They're only human My time on this planet ends here I shall not return A tragic end of life, severed A blackened star Spins through endless space

9.	On Borrowed Time 07:54	lyrics	buy track
"As we await our last breath Embrace the day holding hands Don't want to leave your side What's been done is sad, and cold Hear our pleas of hope" Hear them crying for their lives Begging for forgiveness Fearing armageddon Wishing they can turn back the clock Thoughts and prayers are lost in space from the ignorant human race A parasitic living disease who cares less for their air, rivers, and trees No return Earth is done No return It’s too late For two hundred thousand years The start of their slow decay Now coming to an end to welcome a new species Their fate is in their hands now Life will come and go Earth will continue to spin in space among the sun, moon and stars
