Tomorrow held in scorn
This night unraveled goes unborn Stars that mark are starting fall away If we curse the sun Can we undo what the moon hath done Lunacy with impunity (There is none!) Misfortune lies beyond the dawn What need to carry on When the curtain draws on - our ludicra... Reverie - quelled by the sun A chore once more undone Crusades remain unwon Tomorrow held in scorn... Bask in ugly ever after Burning, angered eyes Troubles and their looming shadows With the day, arise Reverie - quelled by the sun A chore once more undone Crusades remain unwon Tomorrow held in scorn... If we curse the sun Can we undo what the moon hath done Lunacy with impunity (There is none!) 02. Hollow Promise
Should I come empty handed?
No redemption can I meet. Of no service to sovereignty, lay no trophies at your feet. The sorrows that the Earth bestow, can no heaven balm? All the woe that cloaks and binds us, canned 1000 virtues calm. The hollow promise of a hollow psalm. And their need for shepherds will see them duelly fleeced. Their hides provides, in bitter times warmth for the priests. Amid moth eaten scrim, behind shrines the heavens, its glow growing dim, Illuminate on secret shame, casting shadows across a bog of dirt which bears your name. The sorrows thet the Earth bestow, can no heaven balm? All the woe that cloaks and binds us, canned 1000 virtues calm. The hollow promise of a hollow psalm. 03. The Final Lamentation
Lachrymal drops fall as trees beyond reach
Devoid of voice Lacking reason Cascading at random, salted rains But as oft As the tides A tireless flow which stops at nothing For no sense Can annul it''s weight Crimson pearls dot twisted path Granting clues Of corporeal treason Flowing with purpose as lover''s tears Yet failing To bring forth release Still ruby ribbons from outstretched arms Paint a room Red with regret Still ruby ribbons from outstretched arms Paint a room Red with regret 04. Userpent
Slithering, crawling
Through a glade, corrupting virtue Twisted, maligned Swallow whole the souls of angels Controlling serpent Constricts and crushes purest pleasure Searing poison Injected tincture numbs the fallen Treacherous snake Crawling into being Extending existance Passing mortality Shawdows hiding fate It''s a lie unto myself The snake has taken everything It is this servitude What sickening self-revolt Tricked into temptation Coiled within it''s folds Blinded by self hatred Dark shawdows dominate Rake the skin Scales hard-edged embrace Lost to sin, blackened Guilt held in disgrace Slithering, crawling Through a glade, corrupting virtue Twisted, maligned Swallow whole the souls of angels Controlling serpent Constricts and crushes purest pleasure Rotten inside Injected tincture numbs the fallen 05. Heaped Upon Impassive Floors
Anger burns by candle-light
To those named not worthy A tedious wait, ceaseless For life''s toil to break A lull that never soothes A quiet bereft of peace No sense of kindred binds To those left behind Empty... Time, torpor, numbing ennui Rage, hunger, void of hope Heaped upon impassive floors Defeated pawns forever more Fighting darkness alone, lives slip away Writhe in darkness alone, life slips away Writhing darkness, a lone life pissed away Die in darkness, a lone life slipped away 06. Damn The Night
Sunken eyes still have sight
To view a hope, a hope for light Burnt tresses wreak a sour plight This nightmare now true to your delight If it is true, then damn the night Embracing tomb, for it''s only... For it is your dwelling It is your hour, your only hour Where you''ll perish and wish alone You''ll wish alone, you will see Encased, this place of stone Final hour to attone (No more burdens bestowed at dawn) Enshrouded in blackened skies Wish for light within the lies (When the ceaseless night is gone) And what is left - a hollow rotting Only eyes wait, sunken As dead love walks hand in hand Nightmares, hatemares Engaging, enraging Tonight I... I damn thee Your night fall, your hour Damn the night, for it only falls undone Damn the night, for it is nothing but artifice Damn the night, for it is only a fraud Where you''ll wish, you will wish alone 08. Awake To Grey
Murdering the beast inside through time
Abandoning memories Extracting claret Squelching life If we die before the dawning hour Grant one more moment of lucid ardour If we die before the dawning hour Grant one more moment of lucid ardour And the time of indecision Before the nothing struck Before the river drained Bleeding in graves Aching under Impassive tongues Blessed ignorance Shaped to the sunrise Painted slumber Forget what matters Awake to grey This brain is chaos crawling Crippled on all fours The face belies lividity Migrates through pores If we die before the dawning hour Grant one more moment of hated adoration If we die before the dawning hour Grant one more moment of lucid ardour And the time of indecision Before the dull hath struck Before the vigor drained. Bleeding in graves Aching under Impassive tongues Blessed ignorance Shaped to the sunrise Painted slumber Forget what matters Awake to grey Mourn in wrathful agony Mourn in wrathful agony? For fate''s return to forever renew The face of erudite, a plea to end The face of erudite, a plea to end evading Mourn in wrathful agony Agony? |
