Diabolical - Eclipse lyrics



Tracks



01. We Are Diabolical

Eclipse
Obscuring our world
We don't want to see
We don't want to hear

Ignorance
Time is running out
We don't want to know
We don't want to act

Lack of empathy
What's this feeling inside of me
Never mind throw away the key
Birth of tragedy
Hail the black sun of tyranny
I'm the monarch who should not be
Hear our threnody

We will fall
We gather our sons
We march to war
Hate them
Hate is our banner
Love is our whore
Rape them
Rape all the women
Rape our land
Shame on us
Scum of the earth

We could have conquered it all
Now everything is falling apart
The eclipse will be our downfall
If we let it consume our hearts
It consumes our hearts

02. Betrayal

Black sludge
Flowing down the river bed
Below the surface, a colossus
Dark tongue
Speaking of the bitter end
The insane
Carving our names on tombstones

An act of disservice
There is nothing new
Give up and ignore the chosen
To break through the dam
Inside of you

Afraid to hope in vain
Betrayed
Force the end
Culminate

Our world's new state
Lying in wait
The dawn is rising
The dawn is here

The embers glowing at dawn
The ashes of our past
It's spreading over our soil
It's spreading sickness and mould Corrupting what was thriving
The embers glowing at dawn
The righteous overthrowing the unjust

Downfall
The chosen ones are overthrown
The wall will wither and fade
Towers skeletal and overgrown
A sign reminding us of our duty

03. Black Sun

Tyranny
As we worship the black sun

Black tongues
Whisper in your ear
Clouded minds are dragged into the dark Black light
Right and wrong obscured
Importance is the face of emptiness

Deception
Shines upon us
Introspection
Question everything

Victory
Cannot be won
Tyranny
As we worship the black sun

Hatred
It spits you in the face
Honour is replaced by disrespect
Chaos
Death to them all
The blood of the unrighteous will be shed


Fight back
Cut out their tongues
The lies can't be accepted anymore
Legion
Together we are one
Enlightened we shall march into the sun

Victory
It shall be won
Liberty
As we worship the black sun

04. Failure

Fear them
Hate them
Us against those we don't know
We are superior
My life is worth more than yours

Ignore them
Shun them
Their suffering is not ours to bear
Not our problem
Turn away

Failure
Fallen from grace
Ignorance will break us
Failure
Fallen from grace
Arrogance will break us down

World in turmoil
Spiraling out of control
Fight for nothing
Care about none but your own

Women
Children
Fire engulfing them all
Hear them screaming
The ultimate price we pay to win the war

Watch them suffer
Shrug as they are killed
Silent voices
Proclaim our guilt fulfilled
How deep is this abyss?
If this is what we are we will not be missed

05. Inception

Feeding the withered machine
And its wasted means
A sombre plight, a writ of right
Absence of light
Receding are our vaults of wisdom
In this state
An abysmal vision
A result of our clouded sight

Broken is the wheel
A guilty man's appeal
Terra Mater will not kneel
As we plummet towards the end

There is no hope
There is no future here
Inception

You'll find no life
You'll find no solace here
Inception

Meadows barren
Bereft of life
The path of the Great Auk
It will guide the way to oblivion
Candid extinction

She will not kneel
As we plummet towards the end

06. Hunter

Burden
Carried from birth
Insecure
Beaten
Never got past the scars
Drowning
It pulls me down
I have to find the missing piece

My gift to you
Sons and daughters
I give it to you
Drink from my empty chalice

I am a hunter
You are my prey
I am a hunter
Gone astray

Closer and closer
Tearing myself apart
Closer and closer
It's tearing us apart

Failing
I have lost myself in the night
Anger
Tongue and claw of spite
Killing
Still I'm finding nothing

07. Tyranni

Hör den mana
En andakt
Solblind fana
Ett förakt
Dyrkan som skapat stimuli
Dyrkan som skapat dystopi

Regnum tyrannidis ultimat

08. The Fire Within

Walls closing in
Trapped here for ages
Never seen the light
Buried deep inside
Fear taking control
Ignorance turned to hatred
I am the son of man
I am the sum of all the pieces

Entangled in disorder
Awakening the light

Fire within us
Souls ablaze
Abandon the old ways

Walls caving in
Revealing what's inside
Veil of smoke unravels
Connect with the divine

Embers incandescent
Breathe to feed the hungry flame
Rising of the serpent
I must burn to be alive

Gaze turned inwards
Physical world dissolves
Attachment disconnected
Staring into the abyss
Reflection of the soul
Beneath the surface
Redemption
Flames ascending
Energy conquers all

Behold
The blood on your hands
The serpent
Arise

09. Requiem

Sun setting in the distance
Standing on the summit
The day of reckoning
Rise to justify your existence
Delinquent
Facing judgement for deeds so sickening

Remembrance lost
I don't know who I am
Repentance lost
My heart is black

Requiem
The past is laid to rest
Burn it all
Requiem
Stand or fall

Cries of the dead and the dying
Echo across the barren land
Filled with shame
The history you are writing in blood
Slaughtering everything
With sword in hand

Earth trembling below
In a death rattle
Lament of our souls
A sorrowful choir
None shall stand victorious from this battle
Our acquiescent choice
To build a funeral pyre
And the flames grow higher

Empires
Crumble and fall
Burial
The ways of old
Ashes
Burning it all
Choices
Stand or fall
