hasebuni John Wolfe brought me here! This project is sick, this album made me fall in love with Artificial Construct. Keep being great, this is some great production music! Favorite track: Shadow King.

enavish Brought here by the Wolfeman himself. The snippets I've heard before listening to the whole thing were remarkable and the album most definitely lived up to my expectations. A tremendous magnitude of grandeur and talent. Favorite track: Glass.

Chris Wightman Oh my my my! What an amazing release! Great production quality and some really kick ass music here. Reminds me of early Periphery and Veil of Maya but heavier and better vocals. :P Thanks for including the instrumental! Favorite track: Acclaim.

Lurker 05:09
Don’t look back Are we alone, left to rot and wither in the cold? Can we hope for a life in circles, never growing old? Believe; embrace the stories living in the sand Release; and trace the echoes buried by your hand Release the stories living in the sand Don’t look back I'll breathe while I can feel Nothing Unravel these wires surrounding my mind Truth be told, I can feel it coming and my fear begins to wane And you don’t know that I am one and the same I want nothing less: To be cursed in you, the crimson baroness I want nothing less Be cursed in you as the legends predict Remove what is left Feed the ashes to mortal men I want nothing less Built from you, the dead hand that we give Are we alone, left to rot and wither in the cold? Can we hope for a life in circles; never growing old? Believe; embrace the stories living in the sand Release; and trace the echoes buried by your hand Release the stories living in the sand

Acclaim 04:16
Don’t let anybody in; it’s not part of the plan Sustain the innocence of holding on to an invented condition Don’t hold back as you preach the sin, a promise made to your constituents Dig in and expand the division; power gained in a sheltered position It starts with one; it’s come undone Let them burn at every single stage until they fade away Suffocate the dignity Impurity One more name to feed the fire; burn without an ounce of grace So long, the crude and vile drew no question to their fate How have you paved a way to feed on those less than half your age? All acclaim you take and take while the victims bleed until their dying days It starts with one; it’s come undone Let them burn at every single stage until they fade away Take back all of your signs from those supporting your kind Abandon your vicious right, and stand down from the spotlight

Coming alive: creator, you’ve opened these eyes Though the heat in your veins is much different than mine Mysterious signs: the process begins inside Conventional form will complete the design I guess I’ll keep moving if that’s what I'm supposed to do I guess I’ll keep moving if that’s all this is coming to Revelation: calculated indecision is a standard progress Complications: proven methods can’t explain the variation in concept Pull the plug Take it back to the way it was No knowledge in the reservoir Erase the chaos, escape the fog Pull the plug The sight; the sound Look to the evidence The trite; the scowl Surrounded by consequence My structures remain, but my center of gravity fades What difference could it possibly make? We’re one and the same I’ve taken a name: one piece that I can’t pull away So where do the others fit into place? Where is my place? I guess I’ll keep moving if that’s what I'm supposed to do I guess I’ll keep moving if that’s all this is coming to Revelation: calculated indecision is a standard progress Complications: proven methods can’t explain the variation in concept Pull the plug Take it back to the way it was No knowledge in the reservoir Erase the chaos, escape the fog Pull the plug

Glass 04:03
Little window let the sunlight in Show me what I need Won’t you get in side my head? Sometimes I can’t keep it out Sometimes I kick it around Sleepless night, lie awake in a dream Bloodshot eyes, can you reach the machine? Faceless man at the end of the scene Familiar stance, could it be me? Sleepless night, lie awake in a dream Bloodshot eyes, become the machine Little window made of broken glass I know it’s bound to hurt but I know I'm coming back Sometimes I can’t keep it out Sometimes I kick it around It doesn’t feel like it matters Somehow it keeps me from breaking myself No it’s never enough I’ll bet on the blade, make the deepest cut No holding back Bury my debt to each setting sun No it’s never enough Suspending my age while I make it up No going back Open the gates to release the flood No it couldn’t be… Another sleepless night, lie awake in a dream Bloodshot eyes, become the machine Sometimes I can’t keep it out Sometimes I kick it around

Disconnect, return to life The quiet breath you hear at night Dark intentions open every door The worst of what we are, we always were Turn to dust I breathe so deep, this iron lung begins to rust The Deceiver is with me He guides as my right hand The Master of Illusion In the light, not shadows The Sinister Snake with two faces Show me them both as you shed your filthy skin Brick by brick, a stable fix Walls collapsed and torn apart Break the stitch; trade wax for wick The echoes of a steady heart Turn and run Keep yourselves undone The blame is not on us God doesn’t answer me anymore I’m starting to think that he never did I still cry out sometimes into the dark of night Into the blackened deep hoping something changes But it’s been ten years, and he refuses to speak God is dead… Or he never was

Shadow King 03:58
Why do we pretend? Please my friend sedate the beast inside my head What else could we defend? Oh god my friend, be near me when it comes to an end While you toss and turn, I grind your teeth You’ll always need me, you’ll always need me And I need your mind, it’s mine to keep Throw me another line, I’ve been dying to meet While you toss and turn, I grind your teeth You’ll always need me, you’ll always need me And I need your mind, it’s mine to keep Throw me another line, I’m everything you want to be Freeze… Raise your head It’s only the radio waves tuning out Fading every word you say I’m you, and I’m me, and I’m everything you want I’m you, and I’m me, and I’m everything you want to be I’m you, and I’m me, and I’m everything What a test we’ve been Seven years have gone, my friend Touch my skin I’m taking you away But what of the mess I’ve made? It’s all I am Seven years, what’s one more day? Raise your head It’s only the radio waves tuning out Fading every word you say No, but the king in me won’t turn away so easily Until I’m no longer in shadow, no more the contained Until the day I am free, you’ll always need me

There’s a needle in your lifeboat and you’re trying to keep from going under The feeling that you might choke: suddenly it’s taking over Better hope that you will stay afloat because the water is rising Watch it float away Don’t believe me? Can’t you feel it getting old? We all stay the same All contingency has stalled You’re all alone The hymn of time; the air I breathe The lurker preys upon my sleep but struggles to hold He speaks in serpents tongues A whisper of her soul The devilish structure latches onto my bones Pulsing inside of me, rip and birth Under the waves you are born Gripping earth, demand, improve Planted roots don’t share your stench Wither and wilt This home we have built will outlast us all The castle will fall Wither and wilt This home we have built will outlast us all The castle will fall Watch it float away: a burden greater with the weight of every stone We all stay the same, and every question makes itself unknown There’s a needle in your lifeboat and finally you're going under The fever that you let go; the weight that you believed was severed Now you'll rot and wither in the cold, and the water is rising

Now I am lost, and for once it doesn’t matter that I’m gone With an open mouth I’m racing toward the sun How does it taste? Escape, if only just this once On my breath alone it carries on and on Turn the earth on its side Run from the night (ride) Turn the earth on its side Run away from the night What a way to survive How will it taste when the earth and I collide? Fading; something is shaking down below With light escaping, I just make it on my own The bed I have made is a place the hopeless would not want On its breath alone I’m racing from the sun Run from the night The earth and I collide Fading; something is shaking down below With light escaping, I just make it on my own
