The Halo Effect - Conspire To Deceive

We must defer to our forced perspective
Lean into the truths we don't feel
Let the days of our ending be wasteful
Setting our minds to the sorrow

To the fall and the rise of us
Capitulation to irrelevance
To the end and the new beginning
Equal to our loss
In nothing portrayed
Is value perceived
Our id is our demise

Let us now begin
To form a new relation
With a death that becomes us
Build a strong foundation

Keep our heads down and brace for detachment
From the wildest ideas unfulfilled
We all know we will pay the price
But we will not count the cost

To the fall and the rise of us
Capitulation to irrelevance
To the end and the new beginning
Equal to our loss
In nothing portrayed
Is value perceived
Our id is our demise

Let us now begin
To form a new relation
With a death that becomes us
Build a strong foundation

Let us now begin
To start a new relation
With a death that becomes us
Build a strong foundation
On the ashes of our self importance
Let us now begin
To start a pure connection
With a death that becomes us

Wake the force...

Wake the force that upend the contract
Will this into existence
To be what's given
Effectively decided
What has been agreed
The day of our defeat

For desire behind the lie

I don't want to feel this real
With all this distance between us
We give in to our failures and our fears
We become surrender

Listen to the changing winds
Feel the waves of discontent...
A reckoning averted
Reality unbound
Feel the force of our control
The force of our control...

Leave denial behind us all

I don't want to feel this real
With all this distance between us
We give in to our failures and our fears
We become surrender

We must become surrender

I don't want to feel this real
With all this distance between us
We give in to our failures and our fears
We become surrender

I don't want to feel this real
With all this distance between us
We give in to our failures and our fears
We become surrender

We become surrender
Surrender

Once there was purity of action
Once there was never-ending grace
We chartered the unknown
And steered by the hollow depths
Of our conviction and resolve...

The hour is ever present
Yet we are forever behind

It all feels like I am falling
Blindly backwards into nothingness below
Always altered by emotion
We're going nowhere
No direction for me

In truth direction is deception
With understanding incomplete
Our instincts dead ahead
Informed by blind ambition
Our dedication to the night

The hour is ever present
Yet we are forever behind

There is something in the silence
Yet there's nothing I can see in front of me
Wishing this could lead somewhere
There's no direction
No direction for me

I'm stuck somewhere between
The timing makes me perfectly tense
I'm stuck somehow between (I'm stuck somehow between)

It all feels like I am falling
Blindly backwards into nothingness below

There is something in the silence
Yet there's nothing I can see in front of me
Wishing this could lead somewhere
There's no direction
No direction for me

His is an outpost
This is not far from the end
As one frontier begets another...
Repent and start again
Innate resistance forces
Must power through this spell...

Now as time is even
Resist the endless nights
Now is the time to rise
Reset the narrative
We must see eye to eye

Caught up in a web of lies
We see
Unbroken trust now shatter
Without a word
We conspire in the dark...
A desire never realized
In the errors of our silent ways
Without a word
We conspire
Conspire to deceive

This is an outrage
This is not the end
Let our voices be heard...

Now as time is even
Resist the endless nights

There are truths to conquer
There are fears to amplify
What is known in all we see
Is but a dark mirage
What we see
What we feel
Further behind the veil
What is broken
What is gained
Never rein in the night

There are ways to wander
Beyond the given path...
There are dark encounters
Within the mind itself

Our will to see
Our will to be
Our will to call the heavens
Not an answer
It's not a sign
Just an urge to wield the dark
There is a way
There is no time
A path that leads to nothing
There is a way
There is no time
Our cruel perception

To all the words not spoken
Are we dreaming hard enough

There are ways to wander
Beyond the given path...
There are dark encounters
Within the mind itself

Our will to see
Our will to be
Our will to call the heavens
Not an answer
It's not a sign

Set off our darkest thoughts
Within these fortress walls
We're falling down inside
A depth charge waiting
The absence is everywhere
Can't get away from us
The absence is everywhere
Can't get away

We just close our eyes

We just close our eyes
Let the darkness take us

We reach out to the inside
Begin the journey back wherever it ends
Break the chains of this deadlock
Before we detonate
What is left
What is left of our minds

For as far as motivation will take us
The forces that are holding us down
No equilibrium, a tug of war...
Our emotions will take us there
Our emotions will hold us back
With equal force
In equal measure

We just close our eyes

We just close our eyes
Before we detonate...

We reach out to the inside
Begin the journey back wherever it ends
Break the chains of this deadlock
Before we detonate
What is left
What is left of our minds
Before we detonate

We reach out to the inside
Begin the journey back wherever it ends
Break the chains of this deadlock
Before we detonate

We reach out to the inside

Has it come to this
We reset to zero hour
A place of no return
Where truth is tied around our hands
Anxiety wild with rage

Wield the sword in anger
These are powers we cannot deny
We're disarmed by silence
In truth we are alone

What we ask from one another
And in honesty we’re lost without
It's not the light, it's truly the fire
We are led forever astray

We get lost in our words
We look inside just to find ourselves out
The measure of vulnerable minds

Wield the sword in anger
These are powers we cannot deny

What we ask from one another
And in honesty we’re lost without
It's not the light, it's truly the fire
We are led forever astray

Wield the sword in anger

We're disarmed by silence

We are led forever astray
It's not the light, it’s truly the fire

How can we not feel it?
The cries no one can hear
Our reality given voices
A choir of muted screams

We fail them on every level
When the words are never known
Let us break this curse of silence
On the march of the unheard

We gather among the masses
To turn this reign around
As every single heartbeat
Will carry now the sound

We fail them on every level
When the words are never known
Let us break this curse of silence
On the march of the unheard

So let's reach for every instrument
That will amplify our anger
Take to the streets of repression
As we march for the unheard

We fail them on every level
When the words are never known
Let us break this curse of silence
On the march of the unheard

We fail them on every level
When the words are never known
Let us break this curse of silence
On the march of the unheard

We break in
To the dark of the day
At the dawn of a dream
Faceless crowds
Stare at the spectre
Through echoes of scorn
We go...
To the false and the dreamlike endings
We go...
A defiance we belong to

And before it is over...
And before it is over
We’re gone

We don’t want to face the outcome
We want nothing to be lost
Holding back the hands of time...
‘Til we burn it down

So let us in
On the fear and deception
Of life underneath
Racing minds
Fail to protect
What cannot be found

And before it is over...
And before it is over
We’re gone

We don’t want to face the outcome
We want nothing to be lost
Holding back the hands of time...
As we’re bent not yet broken

We don’t want to face the outcome
We want nothing to be lost
Holding back the hands of time...
As we’re bent not yet broken

When we burn it to the ground
Cause we’re bent not yet broken

Between the great divides
That instant stab of failure burns (burns)

Toward autonomy
Stand up to introspection's gaze (gaze)

Words on the page
We are beholden to the dream

Now open all the doors
Where once were barren walls
To every hell within you
You put your final trust
Inside the metaphor
A condition of the heart

This is the fire and there is no end
We turn to our anger to burn out the pain
This is the fire and there is no end
We turn to our anger to burn out the pain

We have gathered here
At the burning point

Here at your darkest place
Where dreams are magnified
Becomes a myth unto itself...
The nothingness appears
A distant further
As our innermost design

This is the fire and there is no end
We turn to our anger to burn out the pain
This is the fire and there is no end
We turn to our anger to burn out the pain
Burn the pain

We have gathered here
At the burning point

We have gathered here
At the burning point

This is the fire
We have gathered here
There is no end at the burning point
This is the fire and there is no end
We turn to our anger to burn out the pain
Burn the pain

This is the fire and there is no end
We turn to our anger to burn out the pain

We've waited too long for this
The edge to which we've gone
The sacrifice is made before us
To come this far...
Predicated on the choices we've made
We're about to bring this circle down

Let this be
The defiant hour
Let me be
The defiant one (one, one)

Don't fail me, don't fail me
Don't fail defiantly
Don't fail me, don't fail me now
I am not your eyes

We've wasted too much already
The malleable are led astray
The blood of their determination
Seeps into the unknowing mind
You ain't deterred the needless end

Let this be
The final hour
Let me be
The defiant one (one, one)
To bring this down

You can't tell me
You can't tell me what to see
Don't tell me
Don't tell me what to see

Don't fail me, don't fail me
Don't fail defiantly
Don't fail me, don't fail me now
I am not your eyes

Don't fail me, don't fail me now
The defiant one
Don't fail me, don't fail me now
The defiant one

We must endure
Unpack our failures
Resist the hardship at the onset (the onset)
Take to the argument
Another downfall strong
So rise to face adversity

Let the anger
Build a callous mind
Let the friction grind us down...
Make us inured to pain
For we are stronger
Stronger than hate

When your heart is your burden
And the line must be drawn
When your self is on fire
Don't let them turn you
Into something you are not
What we become...
Is something we are not

Something we are not
Something we are not

The armour laid bare
Will not desensitize
Will not be broken down
This day our will solidified

Let the anger
Build a callous mind
Let the friction grind us down...
Make us inured to pain
For we are stronger
Stronger than hate

When your heart is your burden
And the line must be drawn
When your self is on fire
What we become
Is something we are not

(When your heart is your burden...
And the line must be drawn...
When your self is on fire...)
When your heart is your burden
And the line must be drawn
When your self is on fire
Don' let this turn you
Into something you are not

What we become...
We're something we are not
Something we are no
