Lyrics for The Exonerated

Not defined by a point in time But as a mammoth catalyst He will cease and desist Crafting invincibility Repeated ceremoniously Ohh, manifest conquest His creation attained Ohh, manifest conquest His cognition regained In the secrets of the absolute The sage continues Advancing virtues In the secrets of the absolute In his own truth On his familiar path Observation of the observer Intermediate state Between death and rebirth He'll no longer wait With courage and conviction The architect transcends Taste the exaltation And the power it commends Ohh, manifest conquest His creation attained Ohh, manifest conquest His cognition regained Layers of truth peeled back Nothing stays hidden forever Submit to chains, will he never Achievement unlocked and done Nothing new is under the sun The echoes of inception Scaffolding the past A remembrance of solitude He braved the darkness at last Manifest conquest His cognition regained Ohh, manifest conquest He who reaches the beginning Shall know no end (no end) He who reaches the beginning Shall know no end
