Prologue: Sands of A New Time
Alfon Istari was born into wealth among the Istari family, who had political reign over Earth. He was referred to as Simply 'The Earth Prince'. Being royalty, he lived a very religious life, praising the lords Chrono and Shinero and praying every night. He reached the age of 17, and was soon ready take his title as King, as his father was unfortunately deteriorating.
Ruling as King was not in his fate, however...
On the fifth day of the setting moon, Alfon awoke to his castle, his home for years, in flames. He barely made it out of his room before spotting the bloody remains of his father and mother. In a panic, he makes a run for the exit, only to be stopped by a seering pain in his abdomen, only to see blood pouring from his torso. His vision faded quickly, and he soon left this world.
Unbeknownst to Alfon, his soul was not lost, however. It was kept away until the death of the first protector, who took his own life after serving for 146 years. Now Alfon was resurrected, having been wiped of his memories by the time god Chrono, and thanks to the powers of the goddess of death Shinero, he could no longer die.
Upon awakening, he was handed the codex, a documentation of all known time, past, present, and future. After being given the ultimate knowledge, Chronos gave Alfon his mission and the fake name of Loz, which was accepted, as Alfon had no memory of his previous identity. His mission was to take the codex to the center of the Desert of Loss, to the top of the Lone Tower, where he would guard it for all eternity. Loz accepted the mission, and signed a verbal contract with the God Chronos...
...Unknowingly giving up life a second time...
So Loz set off, walking on into the wilderness, a simple pistol and his wits to protect him. The only clue to his past identiy being the scar on his forehead, where his Istarian third eye once was...

Obey Chronos

Obey Chronos.
Walk on
Into the dessert
Alone
Carry the Future
On your back
You mustn't let them touch you
(Soul of Alfon Istari)
Prophecy
Schmophecy
You ain't got no rule over me
I am a living person...
You're Wrong
We are the Ones above the rest
Now obey
Obey
(Prophecy schmophecy, you ain't got no rule over me!)

Met By The Storm.
(as told by the last protector, Loz, aka Alfon Istari reincarnated)
Cross the yellow sands
Codex gripped in my hands
The grit digs into my flesh
What do I have left?
Torn from a life of my own
Ordered to protect this thing
That I keep on my back
this scroll is sacred
You can't touch me
I can't touch you
Why do I bother with living
To avoid eternal punishment...
What do I have left?
This thing to protect
Even I can't look
What do I have left?
Wise, you lead me
Betwixt me and amiss
Met by the storm...

Androgynous

Androgynous
I am the perfect machine
Unmatched by others
I am the crooked machine
Unloved by mothers
What the fuck are we even here?
Are we wasting our time?
Why are the rules unwritten
Like to do so would be a crime?
It's all supposed to be planned
but the system has gone awry
There doesn't seem to be a hope in sight
so why continue to fight!?
Because our fall is incessant
Split from the unknown
And now the paths are laid out precisely to throw you off
We only know the outcomes,
but the journey remains,
Androgynous...
Traitor
To grab two lines
and begin to cut em off
Alas you cut them all
Cut off them all

What Made You Think That?
(Not all that related to the concept of this album to be honest...)
I found you on the sidewalk
Your eyes were blue with shades of red
You should be glad that I found you,
or you might just be dead
You're shootin up inside a bathroom stall
Doin them drugs just to escape it all
Lemme tell you
that life can be lived without riskin it!
Put down the spoon and
soon you will be a brand new self...
You've been doing well in rehab
Talkin to a circle and studied
Lemme tell you that This may be the clean way
but
Is it worth the gray?
Put down your ego and push on
and soon you will be a brand new self
Ah what made you think that
I actually cared about you
It's my job to get you better
I said you can borrow my sweater!
What made you think that
I actually cared about you?
Let alone love, you should know better
why won't you give me back my sweater!?

Pardon me(die)

Pardon me(Die)
I lie awake at night
Thinkin bout how I went wrong
I hope you saw the better me
Now let me sing my swan song
One little noose just a kick and then I'll fall
Nothing to lose if you had nothing at all,
Pardon me I didn't see
what you were protectin
Don't deny me suffering
Not after your rejectin
Pardon me but I want to die!
Pardon me
I never sleep at night
Rememberin how I fell off
Drugs and alcohol can't heal what's broken
Now let me blow my head off...
Pardon me I didn't see,
what you want to save
Don't deny me release
What love did you ever give
Pardon me but I wanna
die!

Creep(the river)
Wrapped in a cocoon
like a baby with no womb
Met by a blistering heat
unlike my fiery tomb,
Cross the river
And you'll fuckin find
Trillions of nasty bugs
tryna creep their way inside,
Master the rhythm
blind to the sights
but I can feel the thumps of
Sound
Creepin in my ears like you!
Creep
Cross the river
and you'll fuckin find
Trillions and billions of nasty bugs
tryna creep their way inside
Creep!

Burden of the One
My gift is also my punishment
The thieves won't stay away
Im makin my way up the dunes,
Hope I can find peace some day
The night
The night
Hold on
tight
I killed the one-eyed ogre,
He brought it all upon himself I
Only wanted a glass of wine you see,
But he just had to know my identity
With a swipe of a band,
he had the codex in his hand
I told him not to open but he just wouldn't listen.
(You must kill him)
I'm met by the demons
and cursed by the weak
Heard all the jive
and the tide follows me
Fold up the curtains and call on the the Witches
and promise me this...
I won't have a chance...
promise me this
You're gonna keel before I'm gone
All the wasted time!
All the wasted time!
Collapsing from stress
What else did you expect bitch!
What else did you expect from a mortal?

One More Time(Bring The Pain)
(Also not related to the plot that much, just insanity)
One more time
Bring the pain one more time
Say did you hear that sound?
No way did you see the ground?
Stalking up behind you
Did you hear that sound?
One more time
Bring the burnin bring the stains
bring the hot and searing pain
I said bring the fuckin pain
One More Time!!
Tied up,
Laced and bleeding,
Beat by a drunk,
Bottom-feeding,
Sonuvabitch, with a gun and a Heineken
One More Time!
Bring the pain baby!
Bring the burnin bring the stains
Bring the hot and searing pain!
Bring the fuckin pain one more time!
Why did I recite it?
What caused all the rot?
Why did I deny it?
Kill the pain and cry!
Raw!!
Bring the pain!!

Hereditary Leaders(Hereditary God)
Ripped from the cloth
Drawn to the flame of god
like a moth
Cast aside by the one he's served
and left alone to protect the truth...
Man meet deity
Hereditary leaders
Of our minds
Raised in the wild
Drawn to the glory of tales
Like a child
Stripped of will by the one he's served
And left alone to take the future with him
into the Desert of Loss
Man meet deity
Deity meet Sin
Meet the leaders who still exist within(x2)
Hereditary leaders
Hereditary God
All the lives they
Cross into the fray
Hollow to the bodies
And until the modern day
Time, feel the creaks of my bones like...
I'M NO LONGER UNCHAINED!
I'M NO LONGER APART OF THE GAME!
I CROSS INTO THE SPLIT!
I'M EVOLVED IN HATE
AND CUT DOWN BY THE SPELL
AND ONCE I FIND THE MAN HE WILL BURN IN HELL
HEREDITARY LEADERS!
HEREDITARY GOD!
HEREDITARY LEADERS!

The Fall of Mind Over Matter
I've been goin on
far too long
They said I was the chosen one
I wish they were wrong
I carry on my back
My own future
I'm not allowed to see
What exactly will happen to me
Maybe a peek
I've been killin innocents
Just for being curious
My body is tense and ready for attack
But I just deserve to die
And I know
that my path is set in stone
I hope that I can fight it
I hope that I can
Maybe a peek
no
Maybe a peek
No
Maybe a peek
No you can't!
I carry on my back
my own future
I'm not allowed to see
What will happen to me
Maybe a peek
MAYBE A PEEK!!
