Visionary I

One day you’re gonna see
One day we all will die
I will stop the end
And we can live forever
Into the edge of time
Won’t stop until we’re gone
We will be sacrificed
Humanity wakes with dawn
I’ll save our world
Immortal life
I’ll save our world
Fight for me
I’ll use your life
To use others
It’s my world now
Until the rising sun
Arrive and we will see
The mass hysteria
Captured fortified
Escape the darkest hour
Your fear will soon be gone
Embrace the fall of man
Mortality fades away
I’ll save our world
Immortal life
I’ll save our world
Fight for me
I’ll use your life
To use others
It’s my world now
I found the answer
To wipe away your tears
I found the way
To preserve our years
We must use your life
To save the others now
We have you
We have you
Your spirit will be by my side
You won’t be left behind
And you will save hundreds
And they will save more

Our Faceless Captors
03:39

|
The wind is gone
Your voice is here
Wake for the sun in your eyes
That's when they appear
Innocence
Torn from our youth
Lured into
A false truth
The sign is here
Resistance clear
They break our bones
And wake from the life
Stolen from our homes
Leave us alone
Leave us
Leave
Leave them alone
Leave them
Leave
The silence within
Alone they arrive
From the shore we run
The silence within
Will we live again
What do you see
The fire inside you won't
Fade from the path we walk
What do you see
They're coming for you

January 6th: Patient 044 did not survive the experiment
His brain seemed to mutate before he could wake from his death
April 12: Patient 386 was a breakthrough
He woke from his death and consciousness was intact
Patient 874 woke with an excess of anger and brute force
I was able to confine his soul to another vessel
March 3rd 2038: Patient 1281 was retrofitted with parts from machines
His mind is advanced and his strength is beyond measure
Patient, code named Zearia, is complete
He is the embodiment of perfection
The future of human evolution
He is eternal
He will be me

The Experiments
06:03

It woke up from its sleep
To tear you apart
Apart
My mind is at rest
To know it lives again
Again
Understanding me
What must be done
What must be done
We don’t belong
You don’t belong
They kill us
They fear us
We don’t belong
We don’t belong
Stand up for what you see
Grotesque and stained
A kind soul who wants more
Provoke him you’re to blame
Killing him won’t cure you
Your tactics and shame
Never trusted this life
Where others kill to save their name
Save their name
You woke him from his sleep
To cut him apart
Apart
His mind is at rest
To know he lives again
Again
Understanding him
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
We don’t belong
You don’t belong
They kill us
They fear us
We don’t belong
We don’t belong

Visionary III
05:52
|

|
Inside the darkness
We found a truth
That changes life
A vision he had
To wipe away our tears
But only if we survive
Stand against your discovery
Eternal life with sacrifice
Have nothing left to lose
He took it away
He took it away
He took it all away
The end of days
Is yet to come
Plagued by
This breath filled with decay
Planet’s life
Expendable in his eyes
But they all wake
To bind to his will
Stand against your discovery
Eternal life with sacrifice
Have nothing left to lose
He took it away
He took it away
He took it all away
Against you
Against you
Against you
Against
Stand against your discovery
Eternal life with sacrifice
Have nothing left to lose
He took it away
He took it away
He took it all away

Asylum Walls

Fortified
Anodized
It’s our fear
In these eyes
Darkest light
In this hall
Ice cold breath
Now face these walls
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run away
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run away
Wondering
Dreaming
We roam these halls
Screaming
Fighting
Clawing
These prison walls
Force us down
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run away
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run away
You’re not alone in here
You better see
The path we set for you
Your eyes washed clean
You can’t ignore us
Enter our domain
And set us free
The air in here
Is silently
Calling my name
The tortured souls
Their taken lives
Can’t set them free
The innocence
No fate survives
The silence calls
Horrified
These dead eyes
Trapped inside
This endless mind
Withering
Collapsing
Existence
Fading
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run away
Don’t run
Don’t run
Don’t run away

You took our lives
We're coming for you
Your darkness dies
So others may live
I welcome death
A new host awaits
I'll steal their mind
And I'll live forever
And I am the silence
Wrapped in your fate
I am the silence
Give unto me
And I am the silence
Trapped in this state
Find a way out
I found you
And I am the silence
And I am the silence
I welcome death
A new host awaits
I'll steal their mind
And I'll live forever

Ghost Within
09:00
|
|||
|
The silent steps of fear
The one who hates is near
He’s filled with the undead
My ghost within is here
The way you look at me
I see myself, the lies
The one who treats no soul
You’ll find me with this toll
My skin boils from within
Embedded slave, slumber ends
A time of birth and fate
My ghost within is here
The final fight in me
Released into this void
Cursed with endless breath
To live with you instead
Angels come down
Seeking your darkness
I don’t belong
This abyss
Death will find
Your resistance
My ghost within
Lost existence
Leave me
Leave me behind
Angels come down
Seeking your darkness
I don’t belong
This abyss
Death will find
Your resistance
My ghost within
Lost existence
The way you look at me
I see myself, the lies
Cursed with endless breath
To live with you instead
Angels come down
Seeking your darkness
I don’t belong
This abyss
Death will find
Your resistance
My ghost within
Lost existence

Endless War
05:19
|

|
First time here
I see the sun inside
These wounds fade away in time
See the scars feel the fears
The fallen ones
Rise again to fall
And in the end we fight
Never see our lives
Again
I’m gone
From here
It’s killing me
Oh this wasted life
Misery
Lie again in
Fields of blood and
Fight your way
And lead your death destruction
Tear our minds out
Save my soul
We live again
From the ash we rise
The war is over now
Another day we’ll fight
Again
I’m gone
From here
It’s killing me
Oh this wasted life
Misery
Lie again in
Fields of blood and
Fight your way
And lead your death destruction
Tear our minds out
Save my soul
Thoughts gone
Dark eyes
Fight with the one we seek
Stop now
Forgive
I’m incomplete
March on
Don’t stop
You fight for me
Kill me
Once more
I can’t repeat
Lie again in
Fields of blood and
Fight your way
And lead your death destruction
Tear our minds out
Save my soul

Frailty of Resistance
05:09
|
|||
|
Satellites
Race to you
Condemned
This gravity
Miles to
Vast space I’ve found
Blinding skies
Losing mind with all my fears
The seas
There’s nothing here for you and me
Collide
Too far gone to see it clear
Confined
We all watched you fall away
The pull
I’m bound to die
Before you live
Translucent souls
Last I see
You escaped
The frailty of resistance
Machines
Built to tear the ones who leave
And choose our fate
Inject the war into our veins
The seas
There’s nothing here for you and me
Collide
Too far gone to see it clear
Confined
We all watched you fall away
The pull
I’m bound to die
Before you live

Where do we go
No More Life

No more life
I miss you so
No more life
Wait for me

Forced into
Endless sleep
How weak we were
Human trials
Torn apart
So long ago
Fluttered wings
It takes flight
Last life we see
And we are lost
We machines
Rule this day
Again
Again
Again
They turn you inside
Starve your mind
End all life
Collapsing divide
Divide
They fit you inside
Carve their lines
Programmed to rule
We rule this world
We rule this world
Precious life
Ripped away
Woke up from the news one day
We all died
Brought to life
Imprisoned in this absent mind
Absent mind
One by one
More lives fall
Constrained by these soulless walls
And it takes flight
Beautiful life
Our hope to survive
And we are gone
We machines
Have lost our lives
And you survived
Wasted life
Free from this pain
And let it fly
Find the way
Can we breathe
Again
Again
Again
And we are lost
We machines
Rule this day
This day

JS Tolar Fredericksburg, Virginia
JS Tolar is a Virginia-based solo artist drawing influence from prog, rock, metal and other selected dark
works.
Vivid imagery and compelling storytelling mark the very core of Tolar’s music, and the studio is his canvas for the dark, cerebral energy that lays dormant within his mind, until it is transcribed to notes and melodies.
