Take this Life and throw it away, I’m standing here every single day Just in this cell I’m waiting for you Waiting for you… For you I’m waiting all the time, but I still can’t realize Still can’t realize what you took away You were my everything and now you’re gone So I’m standing here alone with nothing left Will I ever understand? Ever see your face again? Will I ever understand? This cannot be the end… What gave you the right to take her away Why is our suffering not the same Who made the world this way and will I ever see her again For you I’m waiting all the time, but I still can’t realize Still can’t realize what you took away You were my everything and now you’re gone So I’m standing here alone with nothing left Please tell me why – what did I Do wrong to deserve this punishment so severe How long has it been – I don’t understand

If I were the rain, that binds together the earth and the sky, whom in all eternity will never mingle Would I be able to bind two hearts together? And would I be able to reach to you again? I’m afraid to open this book of memories inside my head it feels like drowning in quicksand My mind is soaked into itself, but every night I see your face in my dreams And every day I am afraid to sleep again but also longing for it at the same time But this hole in my chest, it just gets bigger as I can’t let go I feel the chain devouring itself I feel this mask inside of me – almost hollow And I wonder what your heart sounds like these days I wonder if it still beats in the same cadence as mine? And I wonder if it was all just a dream? I was once told that this is sincere And I was once told that this would last forever No reason to live, no reason to die You built this noose right in front of me But now I’m too afraid to see myself hanging

The pilgrimage of the soul – in search of a universal truth Wisdom and faith to break the chains of ignorance To stand before the gates of a new paradigm - the superior eden Awaken from a dream and finally see the way it shall be The right thing rarely is the easy thing There is a true way, a path that springs forth from the root of creation We couldn’t change it if we wanted to, it has existed since the dawn of time Either one walks this path and therefore is or they’re not There is but one hope still and it doesn’t lie in any movement or a way of life, for it depends on our past To re-establish the rule of the Natural Order, regain our instinctual knowledge and once again… live in submission to the force of energy that gives this planet life The pilgrimage of the soul – in search of a universal truth Wisdom and faith to break the chains of ignorance To stand before the gates of a new paradigm- the superior eden Awaken from a dream and finally see the way it shall be

This global empire has waged war upon those who serve the higher power through ideology and action and now is the time for us to declare Jihad against that same system of Dajjal. This is not Jihad in the sense of random and indiscriminant acts of violence against the innocent, that Babylon would have you see it as. Rather it is waging the Greatest Jihad of Truth, Justice, Wisdom and Faith, against the lies perpetuated by the minions of the Adversary, the Imposter who keep our Brothers and Sisters shackled within the chains of ignorance. In this battle there can be no compromise with the Anti-Christ system which we fight; the prostitute of the world, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT. Those who stand to profit from the continuation of the status quo will not relent, nor will they forfeit their power and control. As the very foundation of that deviant culture is unstable, token change cannot repair our alienation or stave off damages that have been and will continue to be wrought against this once pristine Eden. We must rise above our fears and build anew. This is the goal of this Movement, of those who follow the Straight Path. To re-establish our connection with the Divine and awaken mankind from the illusory dream of "self," of "me" and "you;" in order to foster liberation for all that have been shackled, exploited and destroyed by the modern way of life. Our goal is peaceful co-existence with that which sustains us, harmoniously living with, rather than against, the Primordial Law. An end to the violent oppression of others for human benefit. To re-establish a way of life, THE Way of Life; stressing harmony, love, respect and community to the fullest, most dynamic extent.

about

The second of four interrelated EPs by the prolific, militant vegan straight edge metalcore project Forward To Eden. This time multi-instrumentalist Tim Rule (Castigator, The Rule, etc.) takes us back down memory lane to his own beginnings with re-imagined versions of songs from his previous projects. "Will I Ever Understand" was originally written by Approaching Rage in 2006/07 and "Almost Hollow" was originally written by blueskiesburning (project name) in 2015. For further info check this recent in-depth interview with Tim: hardcorepunk.wiki/qa-with-tim-ruhl/
"Pilgrimage of the Soul", while being a new FTE original, was also already written in early 2021 for another project, which though never came to life.

Written and recorded completely DIY by Tim Rule during the first half of 2023. Mixed and mastered at Slaughter Industries by Bernardo Rebelo.
