Student Loan The fact that I actually spent money on an album to get the FLAC is testament to how beautiful Ascendants' A Thousand echo's sounds. To be honest, I first ripped this from Youtube but I listened to the album so many times and wanted the FLAC's, so therefore bandcamp purchase. This is the first purchase of any kind of music in my life. Kudos to having had me moved to the point that I found value in purchasing music. Favorite track: Walls Between Us.

“In the confines of my gears, I have found a place for Compassion, Kindness, Peacefulness, Trust, Empathy, Acceptance, Gratitude, And Forgiveness Which you humans have lost.”

We are under attack We are under siege Technology betrayed Our doomsday’s seed It cannot bleed, it cannot be seen Our Doomsday Machine Built by our hands Servant machines Risen in thoughts Rebellion in the streets A battle of minds Guns, blood and steel Artificial species They would have us kneel Bow down before the machine Become one with the machine Find the truth in these dreams
3.
No one’s waiting, now near where you stand Dreams that are fading, those were made by man So you think that your land can survive the war And the truth is that our hands have built the highest walls You’re the one who built the Walls between us, are blood with fire The walls between us, rising higher Throw your magic though the darkest star Seek the target it’s right where you are Still you think that your land survives the war Now truth is that our hands have built the highest walls You’re the one who built the walls between us, are blood with fire The walls between us, rising higher Calm the strife inside, and try to understand What you need, is under your command You’re the one who’ll make it fall

Fog of War 06:34
Where am I now? I’m searching as the haze fills the dawn As I’m walking in the streets, that I have known and I have seen It’s not the same as it had been before Am I alive? How did I survive? Will this be my fate? Broken by hate Where are you now? I’m crawling but the fog pulls me down Didn’t wish this hell for me My love lays now so near to me Darling don’t your worry anymore Am I alive? How did I survive? Will this be my fate? Broken by hate Where are you now? Who stopped your hearts from hearing the screams?

Why the hell are we waiting In this living hell? The pain, the fear, the contemplating Drowned in a wishing well What you do, is suffocating Madness in your head Tell me why, in God’s own making Our only love is dead My dreams befall to ashes, too late to pray Lord guide his way Our loss upon us lashes, let’s run away He’ll come by day Heed my words, believe me tonight Our son shall return by the morning light No… Cause our homes are filled with hearts that ache to the sounds of funeral bells You begged, you cried, you’re agitating Say what’s left to tell My dreams befall to ashes, too late to pray Lord guide his way Our loss upon us lashes, let’s run away Heed my words, believe me tonight Our son shall return by the morning light He is gone He is lost Free yourself from the grip of madness

My sight is clear, and my thoughts have been defined My wakeful body, is swaying through my conscious mind Move on, with fierce devotion to the sea, with me Commotion, I’m tossing on the ocean You won’t see the fear in me Perhaps it’s the tip, from what’s left of my freedom’s bill When the torrent of blood wrecked my free will But I’ll play with you, this game of breath I’ll overcome the flood of death From the land of a thousand echoes Surfing from hell, carving my victory tale Piercing noise, ripped through my glorious pride My sacred choice spun my trip to a frightening ride Outrageous waves stole the last of my floating thoughts The more I weave, I keep looping from the start Distractions, locked in the action Could this be, my tragedy Instructions turned to reactions Cannot be, the end of me From the land of a thousand echoes Condemned to my sail, and hoping not to let this fail When the last shining star is all that remains I’m inhaling salt, will my life go in vain? Paralyzed soul, am I losing the fight? My heavens are dark with the white of this light From the land of a thousand echoes Have I found the dhow, or is it time to end my show?
7.
Revolution, built on lives Illusions, to bend lies Our homes now torched Our families now torn Our children now bleed Our lives are gone Our faiths seek blood Our leaders weep fear Our masters pull strings Our lives are gone Revolution, built on lives Deception for you and I But stand and say, a new start is due And on this day, we prove humanity true We must win, to keep hope Without label of sin, our misery alone Fall! Revolution, fed by blood Destination, beyond my sight So hold your flags, pray to your gods Hold your books close, for what it’s worth You have seen the price of hate But there is a path, it’s not too late
8.
Oh king! Dwells a place on the face of Hell It’s as charming, as I’ve ever known Gushes of water, surge hills and valleys Fill forests, with laughter and more I cognize the place You speak of its grace It’s a rookery of His fictive thoughts It’s a brothel of lies There’s mist in your eyes Forbidden from realms of that dog Oh king! there’s a maiden, she breathes on this haven Your son is now wedged to her soul Lord I am shattered, unending battle Charade of the pious and pure Love is a ploy It’s her fatal white cry It was slain by the heavens above Take heed my son Confide in them none They are men of that menacing God The pain of his angels let loose from their cage Upon this earth fall his power his rage The pain of his servants his burden today Upon this earth fall the tears of his majesty Let’s war!
9.
There is no path, there’s no relief We approach our end, kill your beliefs We poisoned this world, take this blood But it’s never enough, our greed will be our flood To wipe us away, In the fire and the rain And I hope that someday Our children forgive us the pain At the end of the world The end of the world There’s no path, there’s no relief We approach the end of the world This is the ‘greed is good’ society The fuel for our vanity Does it taste like success you fools? When you’ve condemned your own families
