Lyrics to In Stasis [Full Album 2022] by Monuments

Tracklist: 01. No One Will Teach You [feat. Neema Askari] Every power that rises up must fall apart Every life that ends will someday start again Every power that rises up must fall apart Every life that ends will someday start again Eyes shift to filter the unseen We deny our reality Lives drifting through the space between Death and eternity Every power that rises up must fall apart Every life that ends will someday start again Brief serenity takes its leave, making way for chapters of despair This is our cross to bеar Blinded Chosen to conquer and pursuе Misfortune falls on the absent-minded Broken from all that we've been through We wander with no guidance We’re separated, as we scream There's no air left for us to breathe And what's left between you and me We’ve destroyed, strategically No one will teach you to see Blinded egocentrically Apathetic we still scream Choking on smoke from conceit No one will teach you (Our perception's damaged from the start) No one will teach you (Without light to navigate the dark) No one will teach you (Every struggle makes us who we are) No one will teach you To see hate is perpetuated to facilitate greed I will stabilize In equilibrium At glory's call, you build your walls, now standing tall (When you get what you give, equilibrium) Time takes us all, before too long, I'll watch you fall Souls of the damned writhe in pain as the devil scalds their ever-changing faces Roots of the earth and the powers that bind us all will rearrange in stasis Blinded Chosen to conquer and pursue Misfortune falls on the absent-minded Broken from all that we've been through We wander with no guidance I will stabilize in equilibrium 02. Lavos [Intro] Animals in a cage Some of us filled with rage [Verse 1] I've watched the walls crumble down As time crawls along Echoing lies through the halls All your sacrifice was for naught again A revelation that cannot be undermined No one to hear our cries [Chorus] Save yourself while you can Death towers overhead [Verse 2] We have been chosen, we are the catalyst Our nature commands us to forsake the lost But I won't watch you die Eyes hollowed out There's no sign of life Not a promisе kept Another prophet to rot in a coffin for all of еternity We writhe in agony [Chorus] Save yourself while you can Death towers overhead Take back the blood they've shed I won't see home again Why? [Breakdown] Bound by premonition All that I love perishes Hope withers slowly sown in the garden of violence All that was holy has now been made wretched [Chorus] Save yourself while you can Death towers overhead Take back the blood they've shed I won't see home again Why? [Bridge] Rotting prophets Rotting prophets Rotting prophets Rotting prophets [Outro] Animals in a cage, barely kept alive Driven by grief and vengeance Some of us filled with rage, some of us with pride But in the end we're all empty 03. Cardinal Red [Intro] Go forth, kill everything you see Abhor all the life I see before me [Verse] Born to raid the world of all its natural beauty No remorse for those who fall in misery Slaves to the irrational, with fear as your compass Self-inflicted cannibals in monochrome You called me fiction, dismissive, failed to listen Now I will show you that I am real More than affliction, this is a crucifixion Of everything you hold dear [Chorus] Now rot away In the midst of an endless night We are the dark There's no escape As the light's fading from the sky We are the dark [Post-Chorus] Through the life of your deepest fears I will show you that I am real [Breakdown] You preach repentance, but avoid atoning for your sins So I will take all that you have, and all you've ever been Within the thralls of cardinals, no one is innocent Spilling the blood of those you love, this pain is permanent A hypocritical nation of ignorance Sworn to eradicate all of existence Kneel before your fate, wrought by the hands of God Now I bring your death [Bridge] Just rot away, there's no escape, we are the dark Just rot away, there's no escape [Chorus] Now rot away In the midst of an endless night We are the dark There's no escape As the light's fading from the sky We are the dark We are the dark [Outro] Born to raid the world of all its natural beauty No remorse for those who fall in misery Born to raid the world of all its natural beauty (Just rot away, there's no escape, we are the dark) No remorse for those who fall in misery (Just rot away, there's no escape) Born to raid the world of all its natural beauty No remorse for those who fall in misery 04. Opiate Walking along the surface of what's real, I blur the lines But now it seems the edge is where I feel the most alive Burning to ashes before my eyes is all I've created (All I've created) The only question left on my mind is how I'll escape it (I can't escape it) I hear you calling my name Do you feel your broken heart return to life? My spirit bends and it breaks Is it worth the price paid for these moments? I tried to throw you away Can you feel your withered body slowly die? But nothing else feels the same To regret the life that you have chosen Nothing in this world comes close to How I feel when I am with you Nothing fucking compares to Every night, swear it's the last time, but I lied Take your pity with you, and leave me to die Leave me Now I'm all alone, starting to hope that I don't survive this The end of the rope chokes my throat, and all I see is violence I knew all along, I'm not strong enough to break these habits Got lost in a song, now it's gone and I can't take the silence I hear you calling my name Do you feel your broken heart return to life? My spirit bends and it breaks Is it worth the price paid for these moments? I tried to throw you away Can you feel your withered body slowly die? But nothing else feels the same To regret the life that you have chosen I hear you calling my name Now I'm all alone and I know that I won't survive this I feel my fragile spirit bend to a break As the rope chokes my throat, and my vision is violence I couldn't throw you away Thought that I was strong, but I'm wrong, just a slave to habit Lost in a song, but the meaning is gone, and I can't take the silence 05. Collapse My nexus atrophies with intrusion of thoughts in excess Casualties of empirical nature Perception brings us closer To the core of content New energy takes over Consciousness forms again Tracing our atoms back to infinity Inheriting control of divinity Driven by our own unholy trinity Born of the body, mind and soul I feel it under my skin Powers of creation rise from within (Are we meant to interpret the substance?) It's taking over again When power fades away will I still exist? (Are we meant to interprеt the substance?) Messagеs warning us of our own impending recklessness Always falling on deaf ears Seeking command of power But power commands us And in our final hour We all return to dust Bow down to the three conductors of damnation From the ashes of our creation I feel it under my skin These powers of creation rise from within (Are we meant to interpret the substance?) It's taking over again When power fades away will I still exist? (Are we meant to interpret the substance?) (Are we meant to interpret the substance?) Run from fate, it will end the same, fade away (Are we meant to interpret the substance?) Run from fate, it will all end the same Fluctuate 'til all your strength fades away Pray for the pain to alleviate Lay to waste and contemplate your mistakes Tracing our atoms back to infinity Inheriting control of divinity Driven by our own unholy trinity Born of the body, mind and soul The body, mind and soul I feel it under my skin These powers of creation rise from within (Are we meant to interpret the substance?) It's taking over again When power fades away will I still exist? (Are we meant to interpret the substance?) Collapse 06. Arch Essence [feat. Spencer Sotelo] Lost in the depths of my disguise, holding these secrets so close Toss and turn in this bed of lies, waiting for time to expose What will it take to make you a believer? How do I face myself through this eclipse? Casting my spells, I become your deceiver Wishing for death as the words leave my lips I'll hide away Faced with myself again What am I worth? Now wallow with me, let my failures seduce you And if I succeed, it's because I have fooled you A thousand roses cut by a single thorn My spirit broken, never to be reborn I'll hide away Faced with myself again What am I worth? Lies set ablaze Struggling to pretend What am I worth? What am I worth? Tell me why I'm not worthy Why I'm not meant to believe Never show any mercy Spare me from any reprieve Now I can see I'm falling away from my soul And all that's in me Put your best foot forward, no impression Writhing in sleep You're fucking your brain to a pulp, man All that's in me is all I can see anymore Lies bend, broken Stuck in a loop, running from truth, all of my confidence gone Living a ruse, I am accused, searching for where I belong Full of regret, dripping with sweat, singing my fraudulent songs Dead in the nest, cards to my chest, solemnly, I carry on I'll hide away Faced with myself again What am I worth? Lies set ablaze Struggling to pretend What am I worth? What am I worth? What am I worth? What am I worth? 07. Somnus Suffering silently within a sleepless dream Hallucinations pierce through the ceiling I close my eyes again, and feel my mind descend Into a void that I'm never escaping I walk along the beach, the water at my feet Begins to rise, and I realize I'm sinking Reality will bend, I pray the night will end But I'm enslaved by the shadows of my regret As the day breaks, these thoughts flee my head But they always return here Cut through my mind, I'm paralyzed It's dragging me, it's dragging me back in They terrorize my every night I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep Watch all my fears coming to fruition Nightmares appear through unstable visions Tried to break free from this soulless abyss Dark energy always pulls me back in As the day breaks, these thoughts clear my head But they always return here These illusions that dance in my bed They will never become clear Cut through my mind, I'm paralyzed It's dragging me, it's dragging me back in They terrorize my every night I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep Basking in my unending silent screams The devil speaks with no language So tell me why you're still haunting my dreams Let me be free from this anguish Every pleasant memory escapes from me Extinguishing any sweet serenity With brevity I drown in my sleep Fuck! Cut through my mind, I'm paralyzed It's dragging me, it's dragging me back in They terrorize my every night I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep And every sorrow's a new ocean I'm drowning in, I'm barely breathing Run from the light, waste my whole life I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep again Never again 08. False Providence [Verse 1] Cold, no emotion felt An ocean sinking into itself Far down I go, 'til I'm someone else And every dream is a hollow shell [Bridge] A lost soul, I forfeit control to be with you Whatever it takes to please you With blood that I've sold, I'll do what I'm told Now until forever A lost soul, I forfeit control to be with you Whatever it takes to please you I swear to do what I'm told, with blood that I've sold Now until forever [Pre-Chorus] These faces keep fading [Chorus] Pray to the ones that keep you safe Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven As gods speak through us, suicidal sights rеmain These apparitions have blurrеd our vision, conflicted [Verse 2] But we were born to create I feel a yearning for what lies beyond the charade, it calls my name The words escape from the page And now I struggle to recall Why I found myself here in the first place [Bridge] Hold your breath for spirits to bring you to life Wait for death and realize you've wasted your time Unsaturated and stranded inside A world without any meaning, so I Hold my breath for spirits to bring me to life Whatever brings us to... Life! Bring us to life! [Chorus] Pray to the ones that keep you safe Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven As gods speak through us, suicidal sights remain These apparitions have blurred our vision, conflicted Pray to the ones that keep you safe Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven As gods speak through us, suicidal sights remain These apparitions have blurred our vision, conflicted [Bridge] These faces keep fading Memories not worth saving Complacent, eyes vacant All colors dissipating [Verse 3] But we were born to create I feel a yearning for what lies beyond the charade, it calls my name The words escape from the page And now I struggle to recall Why I found myself here in the first place 09. Makeshift Harmony The water's brimming with sin As she moves gracefully in But something sinister lives Behind the porcelain skin The remedy in her eyes Hides all the poison inside And though I try to pretend I'd let it take me again Swaying back and forth so carelessly I'd let it last forever Come to find I'm dancing with your white lies Consuming every step I take, the cyclone rages on Caught in your current, I mistake a vulture for a swan You mirror every motion like we're one in the same But truthfully I wanted someone to blame For every glance I thought was innocent And every siren song I can't resist I know we don't belong No right to love, when love is wrong My tempo slows, and starts to crawl Your rhythm marches on Swaying back and forth so carelessly I'd let it last forever Come to find I'm dancing with your white lies Serenading makeshift harmony Won't put us back together Still I'll take my chances with your white lies Your flow, so intricate Cascades over my regret And now it lulls me to sleep Pulling me into the deep Follow you to the edge Where I begin my descent Just like the breaks and bends I will never see the end Lies Swaying back and forth so carelessly I'd let it last forever Come to find I'm dancing with your white lies Serenading makeshift harmony Won't put us back together Still I'll take my chances with your white lies Lies White lies Lies White lies 10. The Cimmerian Bound by the temples Barred from the organic, trapped in a mechanical maze A body assembled By the catatonic, whispers 'til I'm finally awake Soul of the departed, fabled god of treacherous ways Guides the heavy-hearted, now one with the shadows Shrouded in darkness I remain A memory cast away Death is my only saving grace Deliver me Now as the darkness dances with light A vessel soars through the afterlife I feel it clawing from under my skin It tears through the surface and breathes like the wind Forever defeated, shackled, torn Decimated by internal war Engulfed in the devil's blackened scorn Prisoner of the forlorn No sign of creation Their desperate prayers breed only despair A cry for salvation Struck dead in the air, my spirit ensnared A prophecy that was once heaven-sent Held at the mercy of shadow's intent My only hope for escape still intact Falls through the infinite black Shrouded in darkness I remain A memory cast away Death is my only saving grace Deliver me from this fate I feel your embrace And all my dismay Colliding in an ocean of decay Plight of the heartless, call my name Forgive me for my mistakes Within the ocean of my decay Heaven, forgive me for my mistakes And if the waves could wash away All of the hatred in my cells Then maybe I could navigate the road back to myself And I will find a way back to myself I will remember all that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever All that was ever Shrouded in darkness I remain A memory cast away Death is my only saving grace Deliver me from this fate I feel your embrace And all my dismay Colliding in an ocean of decay Plight of the heartless, call my name Forgive me for my mistakes And if the waves could wash away All of the hatred in my cells Then maybe I could navigate the road back to myself All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever
