1) Introduction
1:56, instrumental

2) Synaptic Tide
3:02, lyrics:
Hierarchy mechanism breeding the insanity.
Mindless youth of the future's seed.
Universal expression with fragmented thoughts.
Tides rising.
Consumed by the sea.
The sea of thought within my mind washes away my only awareness.
Overplaying the cosmic forces and submitting the world to grey.

3) The Swarm of Eden
3:28, lyrics:
Before them a flame blazes.
Behind them a desert waste.
Before them a garden of Eden.
Behind them a flame devours.
Nothing destroys them.
Nothing escapes them.
They appear like horses leaping with chariots.
They appear like chariots leaping over mountains.
Like a crackling fire consuming the stubble.
Like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
(Joel 2:3-5, paraphrased)

4) Cognition
4:56, lyrics:
Built up on pride and arrogance.
Your disbelief doesn't bring forth knowledge.
It only proves that you believe the human race is capable.
When will we finally see that we're not divine?
Casting judgment with a lack of knowledge of the truth you believe.
When will we finally see that we need to open?
Your words deceive the weak and the feeble.
They will never shake the strength of the strong.

5) Hearts of Decay
4:56, lyrics:
The room is empty, only you and her.
Your hearts are there, but lust will blind the pure.
The carnal passions are quickly perceived by the thoughts of one's actions.
Souls so delicate and fragile to the touch.
The father holds the pieces that we tear apart.
Pleasure finds rest in dead souls, but the heart's still yearning for divine love.

6) Forlorn in Distance
6:00, lyrics:
Put down by the oppressors in my quest to rise up.
A generation fallen and enslaved.
Pushing back this tyranny with my sword in hand.
Only thing left to accomplish is the killing.
Sore my eyes haven't seen the sun for ages.
Trapped in distant lands.
Fighting forward conquering.
Sing the song of victory.

7) The Great Deception
9:50, lyrics:
Grey-tinted prison among the living.
Past attempts only prove to fail.
cancer is spreading from within.
The solution is to leave, I'll abide here tonight.
Comfort in darkness.
A child in the corner I've constantly ignored.
The demon screams at me.
Realizing I should flee.
Panicking with death in sight, I know I will die tonight.
Purged of pain, and the void of conscience is weighing heavy.
I look to the child and he says to me, "Emanual."
I've been given a new way to serve you.
Do with me what you will.
I'm not my own.
The great deception is pressing in.
I will not be persuaded.
I have watched myself die.
Ages come and pass.
Death feeds and grows.
Hereditary sickness reveals my path.

8) Rustic Skies
4:47, instrumental

Torches (demo, 25 November, 2012, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

aka "Torches Demo 2012".

1) Proximity Mind
4:52, lyrics:
It is the thought you can not grasp
The unexplained behavior of carnal nature
Execute the will of outside force
Focus your attention on this mighty fortress
When your attitude changes day to day
You imitate the environments ways
Look deep inside you, journey to find
The proximity mind
Technical, resistant, complex, persistent
Uncover, discover

2) Horrific Entity
6:01, lyrics:
We are the proud we are the bold
We represent the good of man
We are the terror we are the enemy
A horrific entity
Control the proud control the bold
Control the perception of morals
Control the terror control the enemy
Don't let the public see
No longer a safe haven, now only the enemy
No longer a safe haven, now only terror
We used to be the ones to light the torch
We would light the path and prosper
What happened to us all?
