Sabbat - Mourning Has Broken lyrics



Tracks



01. The Demise Of History

Can you see tomorrows end?
The spawning of a new God begins
The cities been lost to the war

Enemy existence is all abound
Death laughs, his begotten playground
The village of the damned is set forever

There's a city forging in the underground
Escaping the terror that brought man down
Eclipsing nightmares bring the dreams to an end
Look upon the valley of the shadows transcend

We all prey for the morning dawn
But the sun has died with our saviour,
All we see, the demise of our history
All we see
is the need for tranquillity
All we see
A veil of conspiracy

Puppet states are now in place
Times have oppressed the human race
The Empire of the dark has dawned

Blackened skies beckon forth the nadir
Dramatising escalating fear
The masses flee the abyss in awe

There's a revolution in the underground
Escaping the terror that brought man down
Eclipsing nightmares bring the dreams to an end
Look upon the valley of the shadow transcend

Night prevails as a new day's born
We thought out faith would save us
All these lies
Why all these lies?

All we see
Is the need for tranquillity
All we see
Is the demise of history

Pro-creation, manufacture of their master race
Abolition of the meek, only the strong remain
God created man to his own uniform
Birth of a new world through adoration

02. Theological Void

Evolution the greatest lie
No answers to our past
Indication of certain forms
But only doubts are cast

Experiment. Could it be
An interbreeding race?
Unshown to us
The Gods who own our face

Forever watched from the sky
Report on mankind reads
Diseased to die from within
We've condemned all next of kin

The genocide of mother Earth
As she awaits her rebirth
The cancer cell set to germinate
Our programme will annihilate

Spawning the seeds
Of an alien nation
The master race
Their pure creation

Detrimental effects set to take their toll
Sit back and watch the world
Watch the world evolve

Tracing back through the depths of time
Our past is out of line
Patterns found within different religions

Accept what you will
For it may not be
You can twist reality
Cynical doubts lined with uncertainty

Spinning the fine line
Tween fiction and fact
These stargazers storytales
No evidence intact

Spawning the seeds
Of an alien nation
The master race
Their pure creation
Detrimental effects set to take their toll
Sit back and watch the world evolve

Sewing the seeds
Paving the way - Repeat

03. Paint The World Black

Dazed on the edge of his world
He looks on staring at his past life unfolding
Sail away on the waves of despair
Drowned within the tears that once cared

His kingdom has fallen down
As his thoughts take him back
For one who once treasured life
Now to paint the world black

Who would believe
What I have seen?
Why has life betrayed me?
My mind the foe
The Judas
That deceived me

Here we are
At the crossroads
Which way will we turn?

Is there life inside you?
These is life inside me
Can I live, will it ever be the same?
Do you know?

Sail away on the waves of despair
Drowned within the tears that once cared
There's a light shining down on me
My true advocate
My destiny I foresee
No to paint the world black

04. Dumbstruck

[Instrumental]

05. The Voice Of Time

Soaring with the winds I'll rise
Grieving with my heart, I cry

Torn between the love I find
Waiting on the other side
Memories begin to fade
Haunting me endlessly
Soorow felt by those who mourn
As I adopt my ethereal form

Descending from the mortal coil
The spiral track from which I fell
Can it be you I hear
Whisper on the wind
The anguish will uplift
With the voice
The voice of time
Thine own soul still true to thee
Endorsing heartfelt miseries

Like the dark to a dying flame
Departing as the shadows came
In days to come you'll fly with me
Joined in effervescent sleep
Shrouded by the cloak of night
Coalesced as one until twilight

Descending from the mortal coil
The spiral track from which I fell
Can it be you I hear
Whisper on the wind
The anguish will uplift
With the voice
The voice of time

As the years pass
Your thoughts I caress
In solitude
In solitude

Torn between the love I find
Waiting on the other side
Memories begin to fade
Haunting me endlessly

06. Dreamscape

Broken thoughts which I have seen
Stemming from my childhood dreams
Haunted by surreal fears
Culled from my yesteryears

With your last breath
You'll endure death
Never to awake
From the dreamscape

In a world of illusion thoughts bring
Enchanted echoes around me they sing
In this world of subconscious take heed
Of the danger that R.E.M. state will bring

Wake me before I die
A death so calm when viewed from outside
Cast unto eternal sleep
Reborn a void non-entity
Reminisce of days gone by
Beneath the flood of the moon lit sky

With your last breath
You'll endure death
Never to awake
From the dreamscape

In a world of illusion never
Believe what seems reality
In this world of illusion always
Play the role that is not all it seems

Wake me before I die
A death so calm when viewed from outside
Together locked in this diligent state
Dreamweaving dreams, we both relate
An expression of my innerself
Warping your thoughts upon which I shall rape

07. Without A Trace

Radio voice: "Calling tower. This is an emergency
We seem to be off course. We cannot see land
Repeat, we cannot see land."

Tower: "What is your position?"

Radio voice: " We are not sure of our position.
We can not be sure where we are...we seem to be lost."

Tower: "Assume bearing due west."

Radio voice: "We don't know which way is west
Everything is wrong...strange
We can't be sure of any direction,
Even the ocean doesn't look like it should..."

On and on they fall
Prey to the triangle
Pulled within
And never seen again

December 5th 45
Flight 19 has flown
Five T.B.M. Bombers
On a voyage to oblivion

Disorientation
The loss of contact
Instrument malfunction
As the flight path defects

"Don't come after me"
"Don't come after me"

One by one they're gone
From beneath the sun
Pulled within
And never seen again

Later on that fateful day
The rescue mission tries
To reach the location
Of the five missing avengers

Disorientation
The loss of contact
Instrument malfunction
As the flight path defects

Lost without a trace
Vanished in inner space

Time has no bearing
When the white out begins
Silently
Slip beneath the sea

Twenty seven people left
But at what cost?
One thousand have since joined
The limbo of the lost

Lost without a trace
Vanished in inner space

On and on they fall
Prey to the triangle
Pulled within
And never seen again

08. Mourning Has Broken

Time has taken its toll
As the world grows old
The last words have been spoken
Mourning has broken
