Are we not but parasites (sights) Behold a warning Storm is on the rising Now the sky is turning Are we facing our end? Oceans consume where we stand Destruction of our sovereignty Demised by our own hand Feel the ground it’s shaking Tides ahead are rising Are we facing our end? Oceans consume where we stand Destruction of our sovereignty Demised by our own hand Cast to shore by weakened hearts that loosely take the reigns Fueled by lust and shallow greed they find the depths of hate Profit from the martyred as their pockets line with stains Centuries of Tyrants, are we not the same? Can’t you let me fly |: The wings of the fallen are not broken |: Cast to shore by weakened hearts that loosely take the reigns Fueled by lust and shallow greed they find the depths of hate Profit from the martyred as their pockets line with stains Steal from poor to build the rich as cowards duck in shame Can’t you let me fly The wings of the fallen are not broken Cast to shore by weakened hearts That loosely take the reigns Fueled by lust and shallow greed They find the depths of hate Profit from the martyred As their pockets line with stains Laid to rest by stronger hearts Then maggots fill their brains Are we facing our end? Oceans consume where we stand Destruction of our sovereignty Demised by our own hand

Serpent 07:45
Lying Lucid as my vision slowly dissipates The poison echoes with my pulse Lying Lucid as my vision slowly dissipates The poison slithers in my veins An endless desert made from sands of time that bury me The more I struggle the more I sink It’s a long hard road, in the serpents hole, Its a long hard road, when you’re on your own Send me back, Send me back, Send me back, Take me home Perception of this life rapidly twists in front of me I watch my flesh decay to bone Hair and nails grow a morbid cocoon that en-coffins me My withered heart now scales over It’s a long hard road, in the serpents hole, 
Its a long hard road, when you face him alone Send me back, Send me back, Send me back, Take me home

In these last days, my apathy remains The sky has cleared But what I’ve feared still reigns This self-deception has evolved to torture me This is what I get for staring at the sun There’s a noose around my neck But it hasn’t tightened yet Will I take the fall? Engulfed within, these delusions cave in The architect of what is left now hangs This self-deception has evolved to torture me This is what I get for staring at the sun There’s a noose around my neck But it hasn’t tightened yet Will I take the fall?

These words will never reach you. I shout through space and time. I’ve found I’m a contradiction, a paradox, a lie. I cry out, break my voice, a last farewell my dear. I’m going back to my world turning back the years. Days and years will pass me by. Centuries unravel with the blink of an eye. It's not a question if the answers are written before us, I know this. Erase my precious condemned existence, So without words goodbye. I’m searching for a meaning, The seas can’t fill this void. The hour now approaches, Death knocks at my door. I breath out through the fire, I see my passage clear. Reuniting with the future, I’ll meet you in a thousand years. Days and years will pass me by. Centuries unravel with the blink of an eye. It's not a question if the answers are written before us, I know this. Erase my precious condemned existence, So without words goodbye. I’ll throw away the past as it were dead. Everything I’ve ever lived for lies ahead. Close your eye it’s like I’m staring at 
a sky of dying stars. So I throw away the past as it were dead... Days and years will pass me by. Centuries unravel with the blink of an eye. It's not a question if the answers are written before us, I know this. Erase my precious condemned existence, So without words goodbye.

Father, I’ve lived one thousand years And now I’ve nearly forgotten who you used to be Mother, I’ve tried to keep the photographs but times just keep changing and deteriorating Like a point blank to the chest 
Time travels through me and nothing’s left I thought I found a miracle But it consumes me and I can’t let go Sister, I hope these tapes will one day reach you I wish you could see these sights Its beyond what words describe Brother, I’ve seen the edge of space and time The earth has sung its song but life has just begun Like a point blank to the chest 
Time travels through me and nothing’s left I thought I found a miracle But it consumed me and I can’t let go (ALTERNATE ENDING LYRICS) Who am I? Why do I forget this? Why do I forget this?!

Ovulated, Consummated, Incubated Everybody grow up Masturbated, Educated, Inebriated Everybody throw up Get in line, Stay on Time, Make a dime Everybody grow up Pantomime, Bottom line, It’s a crime If you want to fight the system put your toys away Turn around and grab your ankles You know you’re gonna pay If you want to fight the system put your toys away Turn around and grab your ankles and take it anyway Take our breath from our lungs But they will never hold our tongues Cut our hearts from our chest But they will never take what’s left Aggravated, Motivated, Contemplated I’m about to Blow up Infuriated, Masticated, Strangulated I’m about to Blow up Such a mess, Nothing left, Must Confess I’m about to Blow up Building Stress, Motionless, Never rest If you want to fight the system put your toys away Turn around and grab your ankles and take it anyway Take our breath from our lungs But they will never hold our tongues Cut our hearts from our chest But they will never take what’s left Life’s a bore, Start a War, Want some more? Never gonna grow up Such a chore, Out the Door, Never more

Summon 04:22
Gather around the fire Take hands and kiss the spider Who there beckons in this hour? Is your premise worth the fire? Summon shadows from the forrest Spouting shrills, a horrid chorus Harnessing my ancient strength Along with hunger grows my rage Come forth guardian We call upon you |: Now you’ve called upon my service What do you wish I deed for you? Toil this long and plot it well For you fortunes bring you curses Gather around the fire Take hands and swallow the spider Crush your foes and lift you high Dig you out from all your trenches Conquer all that stand against you Lay your burdens down to rest You’ve won the battle in this hour Upon your land I now devour Come forth guardian We call upon you |: Gather around the fire Take hands and consume the spider Gather around the pyre All that’s left is ash and fire

Celestria 06:38
Stop. No more of this. You have a voice now That they need to hear (here) this is your heart You’ve never used it like you will tonight To set things right like before Your sacrifice will live on (On) the first sight of dawn head forth to the mountain line. Now it's your only chance So will you take it? Will you stand? Fight for this land, beast verses man Will you my friend, take my hand? And the fire spewed out from the mountains consuming the sun in one breath. And the earthquakes awakening giants 
come smiting the humans to death Who will save us? No woman, or man, 
but a child who bears the mark. He was born amongst death and of famine But will rise through the ashes to lift us all Stop. I’ve told you this. You have a voice now That they need to hear(here) 
It’s your second chance So will you take it? Will you stand? Fight for this land beast verses man Will you my friend, take my hand So will you stand fight for this land We claim this land, Celestria!

Slower 04:05
Not a single star tonight 
and the rain falls with spite The pain felt like a knife, but a severed heart is what took this life. Everybody follow me the killer went this way You’d better run they’re looking for you All this time I never knew it was you Shame on me She’s breathing slower |: The killer is me She’s breathing slower |:

I found myself deep in the wood The moon unveils a body still I came across a man who’s breath was absent Body lifeless, face down in mud Skin is crawling. Insects feeding Slowly becoming one with the earth I found myself deep in the wood The moon unveils a body still Bleached with days of acid rain Sheltered by scavengers Looking closer I noticed something familiar in his eyes My heart’s sinking, I start thinking That this body is that of my own I found myself deep in the wood The moon unveils a body still Bleached with days of acid rain Sheltered by scavengers I saw myself outside my shell Looking down at my own grave These figment years of traveling A dying dream all in vain

about

Celestria: a sci fi, progressive-rock group who compliments heavier elements of the rock and metal genre with melodic, harmonious and psychedelic moods. This concept album is based on the perception of time travel to escape both a natural disaster and the oppressive nature of man.
