Shores Of Null - The Loss Of Beauty lyrics



Tracks



02. Destination Woe

Another failure for my lonely heart
Cold and dreary my land slumbers
Another failure for my lonely heart
Beauty coaxed out of ugliness

Destination woe
Ardor, ardor
Desperation grows
Ardor, ardor

Another failure for my lonely heart
Ruined, childhood’s place is broken
Another failure for my lonely heart
Broken, curtains descend for life

Acceptance of the end
All things transform
Nothing stays the same
Things are meant to break
Transient, beautiful
Destroyed, got lost
Forgotten, bittersweet

Another failure for my lonely heart
Fallen, atrophy’s foreboding
Another failure for my lonely heart
Cold and ruthless is our sojourn

Destination woe
Ardor, ardor
Desperation grows
Ardor, ardor

03. The Last Flower

As I run
Onto these limbs so torn
Toward the silence
I know we’ll never meet again
Feel no pain

Barren world
All is dying, so do I
Trees are gone
Stark, the branches and bones
Every path I walked
Every mount I dared to climb
Led me here to
These shores immortal

So serene, the last of cycles
Before I close my eyes for good
A reason to die for
To restore what’s lost
This flower in my hands won’t die

Escape from morrows uncertain
Sacrifice for a greater good
Put my own life into danger
To shield the last flower

So serene, the last of cycles
Before I close my eyes for good
A reason to die for
To restore what’s gone
This flower in my hands won’t die

Barren world
Weak, I run away from you
Grace is gone
We face the consequences
Every beauty is tarnished
Every joy is ephemeral
Take me to
These shores immortal

As I drown
Within this shell so worn
I invoke the silence
May you flourish and resist
Feel no pain

04. Darkness Won’t Take Me

Torn down to bits
Traipsed for miles and miles
It’s coming full circle
This parable of mine
Patience is virtue
Death ain’t my wish
Endless downward spiral
Always on the brim

How cold the sun?
Running out of steam
I blend into chaos, invisible
These ruins of yore
Shattered by the winds
Here I find my harbor
Below the stars

These empty streets
I’m bound to walk along
I’m the last one standing
Adrift and alone
Darkness won’t take me
I belong with decay
Loneliness will guide me
Clinging on to grace

How cold the sun?
Running out of steam
I blend into chaos, invisible
These ruins of yore
Shattered by the winds
Here I find my harbor
Below the stars

05. Nothing Left To Burn

Come, wayward son
Reviving the burden
Of long gone grief

We’re marching through the flames
Longing for melancholy
We’re marching through the flames
With nothing left to burn

Someday you’ll learn
How sweet is the burden
Candid hell

Admiring decadence
These withering eyes crumble
Into the chasm of night
Yearning of solace, breathless
Under a sketchy moon
Embracing the thoughts

In times of forgiveness
Are we the ones to blame?
This life is only transitory
Until we fade away

Like pictures of our youth
Idle proof of joy
Never eternal

We’re marching through the flames
Longing for melancholy
We’re marching through the flames
With nothing left to burn

From day ‘til dawn
We taste the burden
Of our dreams

06. Old Scars

Demons have come to seize my force
So long, my dear boy
Buy your time but that won’t save you from
Sorrow, dejection


And as we destruct
New things emerge out of nothingness
We’re incomplete yet so divine
We are one

Tonight we show each other’s wounds
So long, my old pal
Bleeding through, how could these gashes mend?
Arms raised to the sky

When the dawn salutes the sun
Rising up behind the clouds
When the sun kills the night
Moon fades out veiling the stars

Show your scars, lay them bare now
Show them proud, don’t try to hide
When the night kills the fright
We lie down under the stars

When the tide reaches the bank
With no qualms headfirst we dive
Born and raised through thousand knives
In this life we’re bound to cry

And as we construct
New things emerge out of nothingness
We’re so courageous yet so alone
We are one

08. A Nature In Disguise

In a spin of the earth
Mankind succumbed unaware
In a spin of the earth
Swept away now
Gone without a noise

Forlorn, forlorn
Praise the downfall of human race
Forlorn, forlorn
Isolation will set us free

Consoled by the elder trees
Finally the threat is gone, forever free
A nature in disguise
Gazing through the ashes of society

In a spin of the earth
Mankind succumbed unaware
In a spin of the earth
Swept away now
Gone without a noise

Inside this Eden defiled
The grass is green
The infesting son is gone

Our species died out
After disaster
Enough to feed the worms

Inside our Eden denied
We’re nothing more than
A memory blurred

Forlorn, forlorn
Praise the downfall of human race
Forlorn, forlorn
Isolation will set us free

At the dawn of apocalypse
Sceneries are gaunt and bleary
Decayed, extinct
A nature in demise
A struggle for survival

In a spin of the earth
Mankind succumbed unaware
In a spin of the earth
Swept away now
Gone without a noise

09. My Darkest Years

I’ve searched through my existence
The pain that I’ve known
Bruises and denials
Carved inside my heart

Grief, famine, doom
Still dwell in my soul
Like memories of war
Eyes failing

Before the morning comes
I will go down
To where all pain is gone
I will go down

I’ll wait for summer rain
To come wash these mortal coils
While honoring these scars I still recall

I’ve searched through my existence
The fears that I’ve known
She gave me hope and therefore
A reason to live

Grief, famine, sorrow
Have never left my soul
Like memories of war
Heart’s failing

Clinging to a higher hope
Deserting war, hiding to survive
No more tears to sow in this lone earth
From this tree I pray the birds to take me home

And by the daylight I’ll reach the sea
Inhaling black clouds, lulled by the breeze
Here’s everything that I have achieved
After the bottom of my darkest years

Under the sunlight I will break free
You’ll be my Charon in this stormless sea
Remembering those eyes that once saved me
Drunk on sorrow, eternally

I’ve searched through my existence
The dreams that I’ve known
Forced to run for my life
I became a ghost

Grief, famine, sorrow
Have never left my soul
Like memories of war
Heart’s failing

Before the morning comes
I will go down
To where all pain is gone
I will go down

I’ll wait for summer rain
To come wash these mortal coils
While honoring these scars I still recall

10. Fading As One

Behind those eyes
The restless feeling
To run away from home
We live and we die together

Worn fate
Without a meaning
Bound to decay
Won’t leave you behind

Behind those eyes
The restless feeling
To run away from home
We live and we die together

Worsened, the night
I grasp your sorrow
Your shrunken feeble bones
In this winter
The coldest one of all
My love corroded
Everything I’ve lost
Everything I’ve lost

Wrong fate
Without a meaning
Bound to decay
Won’t leave you behind

Cold days
This world we’re leaving
In death’s embrace
We’re fading as one

Behind those eyes
The restless feeling
To run away from home
We live and we die together
Behind those eyes

11. A New Death Is Born

Far beyond your loneliness
Far beyond your grief denied
Far beyond your loneliness
Far beyond your own hell

When I’m powerless
Don’t balk, lower me down

Far beyond your loneliness
Far beyond your grief denied
Far beyond your loneliness
Far beyond your own hell

Deep in the ground
We’ll rest forevermore

When the black cloud approaches
Welcome the end with open arms
A new death is born

Yet another casket sinks down
A population of sleeping bodies
In a silent eternal gathering
Adorned as we wither away
Deaden weepings from the surface
What fell apart can’t be restored
Time heals nothing
Time means nothing
For every tear has brought me here
An embrace colder than wintertide

The rain keeps pouring
Like tears of a secluded god
A new death is born

Far beyond your loneliness
Far beyond your grief denied
Far beyond your loneliness

Through the morning ground clouds
Exhale the flame within our hearts
A new death is born
