“I had a dream
Which was not all a dream The bright sun was extinguish’d And the stars did wander darkling In the eternal space Rayless and pathless And the icy earth swung blind And blackening in the moonless air” Everlasting night suck color out of our soul Grip your claws around this barren land Create shadows to make us look small Yeah Like we’ve got something to live Nation of maggots, ready to infest Carrion stripped of flesh long ago At least we have each other to devour This is the point where all life Is engulfed into nothing And our timelines Are curled into a circle Pin a thousand needles in me Peel my skin with lye Cut me up with your rusty blade I will not make a sound Whoa Like we’ve got something to live Nation of maggots, ready to infest Carrion stripped of flesh long ago At least we have each other to devour Like we’ve got something to live Like we’ve got some place to go Like we’ve got somewhere to turn Like we’ve got something to live I won’t speak another word Mute the sounds of your world My chapter is written, the end in ink This book is now closed Look but never see again Evolve into something new Lost without a light We are chasing shadows Haunted by our own sight Suffocated in cradles Gone without a trace Cocooned and turned to dust Thrown into abyss I mark the zenith in aeons of terror Yeah 02. The Spiral
Desecrated years precede this descent
These roots go deep And this plunge is a drop down forever Screams in the hallways Like echoes of distant past Freefall awaits Whispers guide my way They are becoming louder Take my hand And walk this downward path You and I, together We shall put up walls so tall Nothing can ever Pierce our defenses Together we can build A fortress around us Retreat inside And shut down Our senses in slumber Take my left hand For I am the terror Living in you Rest your head Lose to nothingness Spiral out of all control is lost As you gaze all the way deep down Shimmer of light fading away As we delve into the sludge Under all living things Nothing can hurt us Strengthen these walls Barricade all doors No need to look back up (No need to look back up) We will remain here Stagnant forever Rest your head Lose to nothingness Spiral out of all control is lost As you gaze all the way deep down Yeah “The world was void The populous and the powerful Was a lump Seasonless, herbless Treeless, manless, lifeless A lump of death A chaos of hard clay” 03. Hole In Nothing
Destroy as I build
My fortress rising In the wasteland Towering upon nothing Grounded on errors Of the past Cast into iron I will lead, I will follow Inhale this torment As you slowly turn to stone Yeah This pressure made a broken man Crumbling sanity A monument of bitterness Empty space surrounds me There’s room to collapse within Man built all and all is lost Hole in a world of nothing Nothing Palace of void beneath all this Empty, drained dry Here, under a dying sun Solace found in all that’s gone Everything comes to a halt When all is said and all is done Laughter will echo From the walls of these ruins Yeah 04. The Defiant
Crawl through knives to reach the brink
It hurt like hell but here I am Put down these torches from now on Everything turns black Drag myself all the way down To the bottom of this charade When you dive long enough You shall witness the end of me Seasons change but after this I will never Symbol of all long-lost hope Buried inside a dying dream Trapped within my shell Genealogy of bad decisions Destroying all I touch Bring the whole world down with me You cowards never had the guts To turn your back, to reject it all To cripple yourself and be happy to crawl Now lay your eyes on me Revel as I take this step I shall prove my worthless point With this triumph in misanthropy Seasons change but after this I will never Symbol of all long-lost hope Buried inside a dying dream Trapped within my shell Genealogy of bad decisions Destroying all I touch Bring the whole world down with me Whoa Bring the whole world down And witness the end of me Bring the whole world down Let it crumble all over Seasons change but after this I will never Symbol of all long-lost hope Buried inside a dying dream Trapped within my shell Genealogy of bad decisions Destroying all I touch Bring the whole world down with me Bring the whole world down with me “The rivers, lakes and ocean All stood still And nothing stirr’d Within their silent depths” 05. Unsinkable
“Ships, sailorless
Lay rotting on the sea They slept on the abyss Without a surge” Gleaming eyes, brief smiles Flashes from the past Pictures of another reality Shadows of a better time Paired with future that no longer is Saturated images Predating this collapse Like an everlasting echo Inside my head When I did not have to fear That the sun would not rise again Ship adrift at sea Beacons’ lights out And no one at the helm I wonder if after this The world can still exist Unsurmountable haze Delirious Stranded in the fog Somewhere amidst These rocks and foam I see you as beautiful as ever Clarity comes and goes Nothing new Collect mind fragments From times before Something to cling to Something warm And then comes the dark Push everything away Squeeze the life out of these Little pieces of hope Remember that this is you And you are unsinkable Ship adrift at sea Beacons’ lights out And no one at the helm I wonder if after this The world can still exist Unsurmountable haze Delirious Stranded in the fog Somewhere amidst These rocks and foam I see you as beautiful as ever As beautiful as ever 06. Shadows
My god is dead
These screams are not of this world Cut a piece as a gift To make all the bad go away Carved of empty words Built from worn-out promises Blending into the grey Like a ghost trapped between Two worlds Throw your lashes against my back And burn me with your tongue This skin is too thick to break But old wounds still fester inside Grind my bones into dust And scatter me with the wind I will fade and join you all Becoming one with Shadows Linger inside our walls Shadows I am programmed To be alone Until I take the fall Shadows Cut through our scars Shadows Abused mind Dying to welcome This call Save what’s left of my sanity Preserve my thoughts in a jar Memorize this trail As a warning for you all Dispose of this shell Throw what’s left On top of a pile I was destined to be Just another open tomb In the yard Shadows Linger inside our walls Shadows I am programmed To be alone Until I take the fall Shadows Cut through our scars Shadows Abused mind Dying to welcome This call Shadows Shadows Shadows Shadows 07. Restitution
Night falls upon our wasteland
And all wicked things crawl out To light a bonfire of our broken dreams Stabbed from the heart of darkness Just to remind that behind all that’s numb We still feel the pain Hope is a flame, bright and mesmerizing Creating life, then turning it to ash Burning everything No reason to look further Faith is for fools, I have my walls So, you, for you just Keep on wishing that after This endless boneyard A catharsis to free us all In exchange of all this horror Just keep on wishing If that is what is keeping you sane Nothing in the end of your greyscale rainbow Take it as your restitution Then it hits you All the work Every bit of suffering At the hands of time All that you have put up with Stood high up in the storm Everything you have lasted through There’s no reward in the end Keep on wishing that after This endless boneyard A catharsis to free us all In exchange of all this horror Just keep on wishing If that is what is keeping you sane Nothing in the end of your greyscale rainbow Take it as your restitution “No love was left All earth was but one thought And that was death Immediate and inglorious” 08. Omega
Where are you?
I used to know you Come out, it’s warm The sun is shining What happened to you? Where did you go? Please, come out I miss you I can hear you I am Down in the deep Up in the distance Floating in the air I’m so sorry For not Trying enough That I cowered Under my shell But I can still Hear you Sinking into oblivion Powerless To stop the motion All movement ends It pulls me under Towards the end All sound is fading There you are Still somewhere I’m glad you kept on trying “The waves were dead The tides were in their grave The winds were wither’d In the stagnant air And the clouds perish’d Darkness had no need Of aid from them She was the Universe” |
