1.	Anvil Forged ft. Mychal Soto 04:03	lyrics	buy track
I have held this is in my hands once before I will hold it again I've been wandering among open fields With nothing to gaze upon but empty horizons The warmth in my chest is all that I know to be real Time passes I feel the heat multiplying I've been wandering these open fields With no worthy goal, just chasing the horizon Limitations set only to be eradicated I will take what is mine, my drive is only rising Far too long Have I existed in a deficit My perceptions Are ever-developing, progressive A man conditioned to think he's starving can never be fed enough These residual thoughts, Are they distant memories from a past life? The universe is ours, but we have to take it I know everything within sight is within my grasp The will to grip and hold what we desire is the only limiting factor I have come To realize my true self has been imprisoned By society's grasp, held inside this cage No longer A man Conditioned to believe he will never receive enough rest Has long surrendered the power to use his own hands Tools with the strength to manifest success Our memories forever remain A picture in the water Our own reflection Standing in place, just a reflection on the waterway I lose sight of the guiding light My vision taken from me My eyes blinded No idea the brighter days to come A deadly force draining my life through the neck Suffocating in a room of toxic fumes I have found home in the fire Find comfort in the rhythm of the anvil strike A fire that burns bright will hurt a weaker man's eyes But to one who can hold it, it can be considered a prize If a balance can be formed with the energies that guide We can find comfort in the fire
2.	King's Path ft. Zach Smiley 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Follow me, I am one with the path Relaxing into a stream of possibilities Limitless In balance with the energies that guide The door swings open, thoughts of possible courses of action are endless, a sense of calm comes over me Making my way through the door I ease into a state of control My mind opening Clearing the way for Synapses firing at a constant rate Unable to break from the stream of activity I find security in this state A multi-track mind with an orientation towards the route ahead I grip the red-hot handle, the heat burns my palm but callouses develop quickly We have all seen the anvil stricken Lengths of steel tempered and the blade sharpened Yet if I told you it were that simple That we could sharpen the blade that is ourselves the same way (You would think me a madman) Our eyes witness the same views, landscapes so grandiose A higher being has no place here, the battleground belongs to us And us only You would think me a madman We are all travelers On the King's Path Walking this path would leave a weaker man screaming The sizzling of the coals becomes soothing Adaptation is intrinsic Pushing forward towards my final and purest form Environmental expansion is inevitable A fortress wall's strength reflects the time and care put into building them There are no shortcuts to strength The body is oft portrayed as a temple, I have chosen to fortify the walls instead of decorating Fortification over decoration A psychotic need for growth develops A need that will never be satisfied At first I'm overwhelmed, my bones ache and demand rest The fire prevails Comfort returns Where many see a mountain blocking them I envision my route to climb it

if this album is anything, its incredibly well rounded. choosing to step off the gas a little bit in favor of a notably more polished sound. I dont dig it as much as psycho, but I'd be a liar if I said this is isn't a radical improvement in quality. MyNameIsRedundant

Wack to think they somehow went up from here. Just... damn... its not gonna rip your face off, but its every bit as punchey and hard-hitting as the stuff coming straight out the minds of archspire. And man them solos. im a real goon when it comes to that stuff, can't dig them, but, its fucking gooey right here, tickling all my brain parts in the perfect way. MyNameIsRedundant
