Technology will conquer, Biology will fall Machines provide the means for the chosen few To rise up and be "immortal" Discard the body to elevate the intellect Remove the head, remove the soul, implant the artificial Remove the head, remove the soul, dehumaniz...

If my body was broken open and you could look inside, would you only find flesh? Just useless parts of an obsolete machine? Would there be any sign of life? Or would you only find death? Would there be any evidence of a human soul trying to escape? If a flame...

They stood just inside the walls of the fortress. And looked out upon an endless sea of ice. At first the only sound was of burning torches. But another sound was rising. That of thousands of souls groaning in bitter agony. Trapped just below the surface and a...

I bear these scars A constant reminder of my own inadequacy I've held everything and nothing all at once And all at once been altogether broken But even scars fade with time Only You remain And my determination is not enough Even so, I bear these scars 

The final chapter has already been written The story has been told In another dimension, beyond the reach of time There is no more, no more to behold See the artificial light now It is flickering, fading away Eternity is right now It is fusing with today Breat...

From somewhere in the darkest depths Within the cloth of secrets kept Out of silence death maintained Resounds a voice that shakes the frame Listen now unto the call Like nothing heard before Living hearts begin to crawl Bursting forth through stubborn flesh T...

These are the times that try men's souls. In this, the age of obscurity. The world awaits its own demise and all creation cries out. Unleash your devastation. Like a pestilence throughout the land. Bring utter desolation. Let your judgment fall. Pour out your...

This life is an open wound that will not heal. I cry out to God with all of my strength. Desperately, I reach for Him in the night. This misery keeps my eyes from closing, keeps my mouth from being able to speak. Is this as far as the arm of God extends? Has t...

When the mountains crumble into the sea. When the stars fall from the heavens and scorch the earth. Then every knee will bow before the flame. And every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Forever. 

The number of men who carried the flame continued to increase. And a massive force was gathered just outside the prison, where the evil one had trapped the souls of men. Then with a sounding trumpet, in an instant the siege was underway. The forces of humanity...

It hurts to see you live you life revolving around death And to see your heart when I can't see your face So far away One foot in front of the other, step to the right Time has it's way and I'll be right here waiting for you 

I stood at the foot of the mountain and watched the fire descend. The earth trembled. Smoke filled the air. I heard the sound of a trumpet calling me into the darkness. I ascended to the top of the mountain. I stood in the center of the flame, yet I was not co...
