Discography:
Afterimage (demo, 2004, Independent) (format unknown)
1. Ab Aeterno
Where are they walking
Scales in their eyes
We see the people of the world shake
They tremble when you hide
All of life
All existence
From your fingers
Is creation
When the darkness surrounds me you shine your light in so brightly
Giving the will to move on
Your power reigns over all
All of life
All existence
From your fingers
Is creation
2. Release
Weigh me down
I fall through the ground
Lying in the element of earth
Suffer
I suffer
Suffer
I suffer
Again
My ground shakes
These gears crank
Every knee will bow
You can't take this pain on your own
Join with me
We vent the frustration
Now
Release pain
Release hatred
Behold this gift
We've found a release
I suffer no more
No more
Yet my heart will be filled with hope
When I fall into darkness
Because I will be caught
By the hand of the Savior
I will suffer no more
3. Death Was Defeated
War
It's coming
Death was defeated
On which side will you stand
He walks the ruins of Babylon
Where there is light
There is no darkness
Will you be the dust on the ground
The snake under his feet
Come my Savior
Stand among us
War
It's coming
Death was defeated
On which side will you stand
He walks the ruins of Babylon
Where there is light
There is no darkness
Will you be the dust on the ground
The snake under his feet
Come fight
On which side will you stand
Demo 4 (2005, Independent) (format unknown)
1. You Who Are Broken 7:27
I lie on the floor paralyzed
Mocked for crying out for assistance
I am in need of a healer
A savior above all things
Fear in my emotions
Soon I will perish
Why do you entertain evil thoughts
He says to the mockers he knows
You who are broken
He's waiting
Bow before him
The throne of God
The man before you is the Son of God
We kneel down unto him
On our knees
Son of God
2. Immersed 3:35
The victory of Jesus
Unfading light divine
Unto the truth open your eyes
Lord of heaven and earth
Pour the blood of Jesus over us
As His enemies watch
Their strongholds fall
Their skin is burnt by righteousness
The holy flame devours
The flesh of demons scorch
We have seen your victory
We have taken victory
Spirit of God be overflowing
Saints be empowered
We have seen your victory
We have taken victory
Burning Hands (demo, February 1, 2006, Independent) (format unknown)
1. Burning Hands 4:21
Spirit speak
Our nature binds us in dark chains from saving ourselves
We bring about our own end
In flames we will burrow with our burning hands digging distance into an eternity of damnation
But there must be a savior
A mighty warrior delivering those who deny themselves and bow before Him
Then I see the Lord
Towering over me he says
"I am the Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end
To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life"
Oh, I weep with repentance
I hear the Christ knocking and open
I will overcome by His strength
I will sit aside the throne with Him
2. Ab Aeterno 4:57
Where are they walking
Scales in their eyes
We see the people of the world shake
They tremble when you hide
All of life
All existence
From your fingers
Is creation
When the darkness surrounds me you shine your light in so brightly
Giving the will to move on
Your power reigns over all
All of life
All existence
From your fingers
Is creation
3. Death Was Defeated 4:48
War
It's coming
Death was defeated
On which side will you stand
He walks the ruins of Babylon
Where there is light
There is no darkness
Will you be the dust on the ground
The snake under his feet?
Come my Savior
Stand among us
War
It's coming
Death was defeated
On which side will you stand?
He walks the ruins of Babylon
Where there is light
There is no darkness
Will you be the dust on the ground
The snake under his feet?
Come fight
On which side will you stand?
Codex: Triumph In The Eschaton (EP, June 14, 2007, Independent) (CD, Digital)
1. Soulmender 4:06
Lord you have been our dwelling place
The fires of the acolytes are burning
A gathering of believers
His presence is here
The spirit resides in the...
Dwelling place of His followers
The weak and the zealous
In all who believe
In all who believe
Lord you have been our dwelling place
He is the sun
The radiant guide
Revealing Himself to those who do not seek
Constantly with open arms
Obstinate people
Pursuing your own imaginations
Oh that you would burst from the heavens
And come down from your throne
How the mountains would quake in Your presence
With the spirit
Let rebuilding begin
Bestow healing
Mend our souls
Oh that you would burst from the heavens
And come down from Your throne
2. Forged In Perfect Design 5:10
A promise since before the world began
And this will be Your new kingdom of perfection
The inheritance of eternal life
From His fingers
A new heaven and earth
The old is lost and forgotten
No more will the walls echo with weeping
Will death have strength over life
Rest comes for those dwell on the mountain
From theirs is the protected place
The old order will be dismantled
A promise since before the world began
And this will be Your new kingdom of perfection
The inheritance of eternal life
Never again will a child live only a few days
Descendants will live with their elders
And he who sees a hundred years
Will be youthful
The old order will be dismantled
Abolishment of human nature
Free from death, suffering, and sin
God help the souls of those who
Exclude you because of His name
And will sit outside the gates
3. You Who Are Broken 7:28
I lie on the floor paralyzed
Mocked for crying out for assistance
I am in need of a healer
A savior above all things
Fear in my emotions
Soon I will perish
Why do you entertain evil thoughts
He says to the mockers he knows
You who are broken
He's waiting
Bow before him
The throne of God
The man before you is the Son of God
We kneel down unto him
On our knees
Son of God
4. Immersed 3:35
The victory of Jesus
Unfading light divine
Unto the truth open your eyes
Lord of heaven and earth
Pour the blood of Jesus over us
As His enemies watch
Their strongholds fall
Their skin is burnt by righteousness
The holy flame devours
The flesh of demons scorch
We have seen your victory
We have taken victory
Spirit of God be overflowing
Saints be empowered
We have seen your victory
We have taken victory
5. Burning Hands 4:12

To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life"
Oh, I weep with repentance
I hear the Christ knocking and open
I will overcome by His strength
I will sit aside the throne with Him
6. Precursing The Final Millennia 5:46
When the thousand years are over
Satan will be released
From his prison
He will go out to deceive the nations
In the four corners of the earth
Patiently we wait
Against unrelenting assault
Minions gather to march the earth
Surrounding God's people
Then the Christ will descend in glorious light
With eyes like blazing fire
Surrounded by the entire army of Heaven
And how wild the flames that consumed
The great deceiver and his legions
Like ashes to sulfur, turned to dust
Let it be known that our God will be victorious
Amen
Come Lord Jesus
His grace be with us
Amen, come Lord Jesus
His grace be with God's people

1. Cognitive Dissonance 4:13
On the edge of ocean fields
Reflections gaze into me
Sudden piercing revulsion
Crushing deep within
We waste away in time
Our worlds untie
Coexistence is no longer sustainable in my mind
Illusory axioms alter potential progress
Shrouded from sight
Man hides away
Futile attempt to escape infliction
Our lives cannot be concealed
Bring every fault into vision
Emanating waves of dissonance
From these contradictions
Unraveling
Further and further
Uncovering violations
The newly focused mind
Discordant concepts collide
Exposures bring to light
What we think we know
There is no way to endure this state of mind
And to prolong the strain would tear my soul apart
Emanating waves of dissonance
From these contradictions
Unraveling
Clarify these grave decisions
Utmost intangible
Uplift this confusion
2. Manifest The Impossible 4:30
Abstraction rendered into a visual phenomenon
Manifest the impossible
Everything that was once real is now unmasked
A distorted projection
Manifest the impossible
The painter's mark found in the macrocosm
Entire lines of reality form unworldly art
The expanses of the universe are laid before us
Yet within the confines of this world we hide
Drowned in a world that secludes us
They tell you there's only one way
Drowned as our minds are conditioned
Don't believe all that they say
Misapprehensions bound to human senses
To strive for all liberation through fallen ancient gods
The expanses of the universe are laid before us
Yet within the confines of this world we hide
Distorted projection
Manifest the impossible
Drowned in a world that secludes us
They tell you there's only one way
Drowned as our minds are conditioned
Don't believe all that they say
They dare deny the One that wrote
Eternity through stroke of cosmic pen
Deeper they fall away from Him
Though only by His will do they lash out
He calls to them by name
Return to me my child and be reborn
If only they could hear His voice
Through sounds of their own incapability
Drowned in a world that secludes us
They tell you there's only one way
Drowned as our minds are conditioned
Don't believe all that they say
3. Soulmender 3:54
Lord you have been our dwelling place
The fires of the acolytes are burning
A gathering of believers
His presence is here
The spirit resides in the...
Dwelling place of His followers
The weak and the zealous
In all who believe
In all who believe
Lord you have been our dwelling place
He is the sun
The radiant guide
Revealing Himself to those who do not seek
Constantly with open arms
Obstinate people
Pursuing your own imaginations
Oh that you would burst from the heavens
And come down from your throne
How the mountains would quake in Your presence
With the spirit
Let rebuilding begin
Bestow healing
Mend our souls
Oh that you would burst from the heavens
And come down from Your throne
BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE TRACK
4. Rift 3:39
A radical corruption constricts the source
Total depravity in every feeling and thought
Cleanse us
Purge us
Break us
Ventures of death are the guiding line of our desires
Eternity alive inside to purify
Return us to the moment of our summoning
Expand our supplanted wisdom
Cleanse us
Purge us
Break us
Of our crumbling systems
Sanity lapsing in a mass of delusion
I will make my own way
Of no form, of no fashion our vanities reign
Lust for dominion and power enslaves
"I took no torch with which to light the sun, but the sun enlightened me"
Called to a new life, I cannot let go
Covered now and forever
The clearest lens is warped
The heights of our compassion inadequate
Alone we cannot transcend this focus of self
Light my path
Ventures of death are the guiding line of our desires
Eternity alive inside to purify
Return us to the moment of our summoning
Expand our supplanted wisdom
Sanity lapsing in a mass of delusion
I will make my own way
Of no form, of no fashion our vanities reign
Lust for dominion and power enslaves

1. Inborn Disintegration 3:38
Building a monument inverted upon the altar
Preoccupation of the self (continual lapse of consciousness)
I am and there is no one besides me
And we will say, "We have become our own gods"
Be still (I am)
Silence (I was)
Know that (that I will always be)
Inborn disintegration overcomes us
Denying what we're meant to be
It is in us to deny submission
Far from the immaterial
Mankind (mankind)
In disarray
Complete control collapse
Exaltations for accomplishments of earthly gain
Infatuation with the way of all things peripheral
The reigning ideas
Conventional concepts
Reason alone can never conquer our sins
Be still (I am)
Silence (I was)
Know that (that I will always be)
Is there anything immaculate?
Find way to uplift the fate
Unworthy of this existence
To once again be given chance to die
And form anew
Inborn disintegration
Denying what we're meant to be
Complete control collapse
Mankind in disarray
2. Manifest The Impossible 4:18
