Mute 06:21
I am Silence I left it all to escape that misguided place I left it all to erase that familiar face Now surely I have nearly reached an end Soon I’ll be all alone in my own Quiet World I’ll mold a world to accept my condition (my condition will be odd no more) I’ll show it that we can be broken and at peace I’ll make my world understand my condition (my condition will be odd no more) I’ll embrace my sinister side (drown out all the noise) Begin a new life Ca-Ra-Zu Ni-Mu Pa-Tu He has created us from a Point of view we did not choose We are all broken, singing Ca-Ra-Zu… I can finally feel That I belong After all the shame and pain My Quiet World is now complete Behold my new dominion You will understand At last they all hear my voice And this will make them see That there is no being In this world that will dare defy me

THE ARCHON: So disimpassioned Why can’t we see there is more here? More grandeur to life We are all so uninspired It seems that we’ve all given up Content with hardly living life I must find more I must break free I refuse to remain in this senseless cage with them I must find more But how can I break free? My head is spinning with this one question I have reached a dead end There’s not much more I can endure Perhaps the only option I have is to jump And abandon all of this Oh Misery, you mercilessly Keep weight on their wings They won’t fly free But I’ve leapt from these clouds And now the wind shows me a new way of life And I forget all their problems quite easily And I believe that such a leap will make them see That their troubles are small and worth no woe at all For there’s salt in the sky as I lend myself to the sea SINISTER SILENCE: You will never understand… THE ARCHON: Oh Harmony, it seems I’ve found you in the sea For now I see the complete spectrum And I must bring this balance back home We can now be complete Ca-Ra-Zu Ni-Mu, Pa-Tu Li-Vu CHORUS: Ca-Ra-Zu Ni-Mu-Pa-Tu Li-Vu-Ra-Zu Ni-Mu-Pa-Tu SINISTER SILENCE: Do you think you can defy me? THE ARCHON: Sinister Silence, I am a god now too. SINISTER SILENCE: You so-called “Archon” choose a path you can’t amend. THE ARCHON: No, surely we will never reach an end, TOGETHER: for you will never understand…

Passage 08:07
I am marched to the gallows, for I’ve done so much wrong She was just a child, but now In Silence she lies With all her innocence gone I have begged for forgiveness ‘till the days grew too long For my mind and my soul to hold and endure the disgrace But death will rid me of this state Silence has called me back To let me be with you at last I’ll feel your innocent face again I won’t hesitate to return (Bring him back) Bring me back (Let this noose start your passage) Bring me back! (Let it bring you back!) Bring me back, for I still long to see her Without the weight of this misguided place I will transcend thee Misery, oh how I’ve wished to suspend thee Harmony, I will befriend thee in death What is this horrible place? Why aren’t my torments erased? Where is my coveted piece of harmony? They promised I’d feel your fair face Oh Sinister, your trickery! This was your plan along Condemning me for my devilry I was wrong And now I know that there is no escape I could beg for forgiveness as these foul winds howl on But my soul is wreathed in black Perhaps this is just where I belong And finally I see her face "My precious darling, how I’ve longed to hold you!" But as my hands approach her face She turns to a wraith to rule my fate I am cursed to eternally face the sins I have wrought Her eyes ablaze, she tells me I will never see light

You and I Could be entwined in love for the rest of our lives And yet I can't begin To utter words of my affection within (to you) But love always finds a way to speak out I'll write the words I can't form with my mouth And I'll wait for you to change your mind And to find – find the love you keep inside I'll write you these letters that speak straight from my heart I'll tell you my secrets and share all my dreams with you But love is lost on you, as it seems So I try to move on, but still Your familiar face lingers around You should be Composing symphonies of love with me And yet it's he and not me This world was meant for only two and not three (two, not three) I suppose it isn't your fault you don't care (not your fault you don’t care) 'Cause no one said that this life would be fair But when you scatter these letters across my heart (‘cross his heart) You leave (him) – leave me with a burning scar I wrote you these letters that spoke straight from my heart I told you my secrets and shared all my dreams with you But love is meaningless, as it seems So I try to move on, but still Your familiar face lingers around You will never understand what It is like to be torn down and forgot To live life ever needing what Will forever be outside of your clutch You have left me alone with my mind You have left me to discover my sinister side But still, your familiar face lingers around…

I still think to myself and wonder if this was worth it For it seems that these days I can’t stand still for a moment (I’m sick of drifting) And my feet won't rest or re-oppress their pivoting Oh Misery, your familiar face still lingers around (Oh Harmony, I never see your face around) Needless to say, I’m a victim of Lunacy But that can’t begin to explain how This happened to me, for I still can’t believe That my life is now constantly pulsed in three And now I can see This vast devilry you’ve cast upon me I’ll be stuck in these steps for all eternity And who would it be if it were not me? My life once worth living is enslaved by treachery It seems to be that Hell’s high waters Have brought forth to me an unspeakable horror I can’t seem to just stand in one place And Misery won’t loosen her callused grip But if I trip, perhaps her hand could start to slip And I’ve tried my best, but my feet, they will not rest I’m oh so conscious and that’s why Lunacy will tear me apart Harmony, an unfamiliar face that now lingers around Needless, so needless to say That we’re only victims after all You help me keep these cursed legs from swaying all around But this time, they’ll agree with me Oh, surely this will contend with my misery So I begin hacking through flesh and bone with fine cutlery Now surely this will amend all my dignity (I’m sick of drifting) And as this weight is lifted, I’m now content as an amputee You’ve used every moment to torment me Now severed and screaming, I will at last be free

The spectrum is wide Through my opened eyes The colors are a tide Through the tide, my soul glides But when the darkness arrives without warning, consuming my soul The spectrum is lost Only a wistful flicker of a heaviness of spirit remains A longing for escape into the wide open spectrum once known I turn my face for one damn second And find myself deranged Psychopathic, stumbling around in this hole My spinning head no longer holds at bay the piercing cold It comes rushing back I am called to submit myself into emptiness I will surrender now And soon I will become what I have fought all my life What I've always run from With flashes of light, the spectrum returns And my path is clear And once again, I feel the tide And through the tide my soul glides Chromatic lights break through my jaded eyes Though I falter now, there is hope There is reason still To hold fast and live to see this through To fail to live my life now I'd be failing more than myself Than what I can see Hold fast, and live to see this through But there are memories of darkened times still haunting me at every turn The fear is constantly calling me back Despite my fevered cries for help I'm left alone in nebulous black Morbid moments never cease Sinister Silence gnashes his teeth
