Dig the blade deep For soon you will see The blood in my heart runs black (x2) Drive the arrow The wound is narrow I have no heart to attack Swallow the sea Gaze upon me, This phantom thy sorrows command Abandoned by all, Succumb to your fall For your own blood was spilled by your hand Dig the blade deep And soon you will see The very face Of your own betrayal (x2) Dig the blade deep And soon you will see And soon you will see And soon you will see BLASPHEMY Brothers in arms Ive betrayed HERESY Drowning in blood that my dagger craves DERELICT Would you abandon the world to be saved? HERETIC Buried in the guilt as you're digging your grave BLASPHEMY Teach me the power of pain HERESY Drowning in the blood that Runs black from this blade DERELICT Abandon all will to be saved HERETIC Dive into the dark as youre digging with the blade Dig the blade deep And soon you will see The very face Of your own betrayal (x3) Dig the blade deep And soon you will see And soon you will see And soon you will see BLASPHEMY Brothers in arms Ive betrayed HERESY Drowning in the blood that my dagger craves DERELICT Would you abandon the world to be saved? HERETIC Buried in the guilt as you're digging your grave BLASPHEMY Teach me the power of pain HERESY Drowning in the blood that Runs black from this blade DERELICT Abandon all will to be saved HERETIC Dive into the dark as youre digging with the blade Dig the blade deep (Soon you will see) For soon you will see (And soon you will see) The blood in my heart runs black (And soon you will see)

Stand and meet your fate Blood spilled at your feet Don't turn your back on me Our blades both bathed in black Carved we are in strife This fate of death we share Ocean, grant me Strength to live I'm falling deeper Faced with phantoms Of the past I Strive to wake the sleeper Visions of the Dead are calling Victims of the cloud that brings the dark In this storm Of his design, I yearn To quell the violence in my heart Stand and meet your fate Blood spilled at your feet Don't turn your back on me For I am power and I am pain The very same you seek Don't think you're not like me Our blades both bathed in black Carved we are in strife This fate of death we share Walk with me this path Through death you may know life Come taste of my despair Curse thy bitter blade I won't accept this fate I'm nothing that you are The hearts you lay to waste Cannot be replaced Their light, my guiding star Though blood stains both our hands, This hell you've brought to life, A burden I must bear To seek instead their light And free all souls from strife I'll break through your despair Ocean, grant me The will to fight This darkness binds me Faced with phantoms of the past A trail of blood behind me Visions of the dead are calling Fallen from this broken, bitter blade In this storm of my design I yearn to save the souls that I've betrayed Stand and meet your fate Blood spilled at your feet Don't turn your back on me For I am power and I am pain The very same you seek Don't think you're not like me Our blades both bathed in black Carved we are in strife This fate of death we share Walk with me this path Through death you may know life Come taste of my despair Curse thy bitter blade I won't accept this fate I'm nothing that you are The hearts you lay to waste Cannot be replaced Their light, my guiding star Though blood stains both our hands, This hell you've brought to life, A burden I must bear To seek instead their light And free all souls from strife I'll break through your despair Stand and meet your fate Blood spilled at your feet Don't turn your back on me Our blades both bathed in black Carved we are in strife This fate of death we share

All I want is to be free I wish to be vulnerable Encased in a web of emotive calamity Trapped in frozen fear Apathy suffocates me I need air... From the far reaches of death Claustrophobia is born I gasp I need to feel free... This musty cell of depravity, Vanity, Disregard Hate... It chokes me with the foul stench of death The scent that tells me darkness falls I can see no virtue in this prison A veil is pulled upon me, And I'm engulfed in merciless dissociation Unravel my desires, Dispel this illusion Return me to the source of all This prison of emotive distress, This cage of idiosyncratic routine, This lockdown hysteria of need, It's merely a base from which to start The distance between us all Only leaves room for us to grow I can see the walls break down, The old facades are wearing thin, And I'm peeling away the trappings Of things I thought I knew But knew were never meant for me Somewhere outside this darkness I know there is still love and truth in the hearts of humanity As long as that spirit lives on, we have no I'll to fear And on horizons unending we shall find the day The day where all are free to fly Just help me find the way...

We have lived and we've died at least A million times before We familiar Few who, promised peace, Were sent to war What men fight To keep alive They just as soon destroy Then trade away dreams For momentary shades of joy Our homes become battlefields Plowshares turn to swords As the land that we share becomes Surrendered to our lords All the lines that divide us fall from Shadowed skies above And descend on Our hungry hearts Into what we Call love Convinced we are the enemy They curse our place on bended knee Guided by the war within, We bend beneath their weighted whims We get lost in the silence Where words become violence Then lost in the violence, Our words become silence Lost in the silence, Where words become violence Then lost in their violence, Our words become silence All split between many truths And paths we're taught to walk, We collide with our jagged steel, And forget how to talk In the battles we're forced to wage Humanity's not lost Does the one who denies its wonder Truly know the cost? Our homes become battlefields Plowshares turn to swords When the mercy of martyrs Becomes lost upon their lords And when the blade falls upon us Weakness does not Make us weak For the strength of one's strength of all, the The source of love we seek It asks "how can you silence me? When I am that which sets you free? Listen past the bloody din And you can hear me deep within” But you're lost in the silence Where words become violence Then lost in the violence, Words become silence Oh, please don't deny me Words don’t define me In a world that derides me I'm just trying to find me But I'm lost in the silence Where words become violence Lost in the violence My words become silence Oh, please don't deny me Words don't define me I'm just trying to find me I'm just trying to find me But I'm lost in the silence, (please don't deny me) Where words become violence (words don't define me) Then lost in the violence, (i'm just trying to find me) My words become silence (i'm just trying to find me) So please don't deny me (i'm just trying to find me) Words don't define me (i'm just trying to find me) I'm just trying to find me (i'm just trying to find me) I'm just trying to find me But I'm lost in the silence...

about

Weathered Treacheries is a sequel to the last album in the Tears Of Chronus storyline, Amid The Ocean, wherein the hero Maeryk has fallen into a rift between worlds after destroying the ship carrying him and his allies to the isle which is the home of the sea-queen Ever, the final piece of the mysterious prophecy which tells of Maeryk and his companions liberating all life from the artificial universe in which they are trapped and to awaken the sleeping goddess Myrreah, at the mercy of the villainous Abraxas of the ancient Trinity.


As Maeryk descends into this realm of the dead he is confronted by spirits of those clinging to the pain of life, and must traverse both their nightmares and the violence within him to find the power to overcome this trial.

Will he succumb to the will of the voracious Abraxas and fall to his own anguish, or will he overcome this plane of torment and bring peace to the restless dead, to carry on his quest to return the goddess of benevolence to this broken world and restore balance to the Trinity? Will he discover the fates of the friends he's betrayed? Will he learn the true nature of his existence and draw beauty from pain?

All these answers and more lie within.
