Miseration - The Mirroring Shadow lyrics



Tracks



01. Dreamdecipher

I lay upon your thought one needling eye
Another I cast into a spring as it was already told
But no care i have for the days masquerade
For my solitude creation

[Chorus]
With maps to the wilderness
In dreamdecipher
With charts of the construction of a planet
I dreamdecipher

Though I know it is mine
your dreamed new day
That which you made unforgotten
the sights I have witnessed
For what heaven alone can forgive ye
But most of all i hope that none ever shall
For dreams such as those

[Solo: Plec]

Subconscious godliness or devildom
a will and a hater was born

[repeat part 1]
[repeat chorus]

02. Blueprinted Aeon Collapse

I am eating bits of the world
Piece by piece
I swallow broken glass and grow
Who am I, that can carry all this
Who am I, that can suffice this

[Chorus A:]
I that make
Blood turn iron aglow
Swirling chaos
It may appear
I that take
All that give birth and life

Destroying the universe, atom by atom
I make love to the light
And leave it with terrible disease
Who am I, that can carry all this
Who am I, that can suffice this

[Chorus B]
I that make
Blood turn iron aglow
But discipline
Is what to find in Death
I that take
All that give birth and life

There a star went black
So watch now close
How i make suns burn all red
Then turn them all dead
Who am I, that architects all this
Who am I, that architects all this

[repeat chorus A]

But discipline
Is what to find in Death

03. Voyaging The Seas Of Thought

Shut it in deep below
Cause you better beware
The dismal horrors of sleep
Vigil and ever present
In a million minds that cannot feel
What is hidden on the other side

In meaningless days coiled
In fevery nightmares unleashed

[Chorus]
Pulse goes high and they die
Endless voids taking over
In cold planning stretching out
To claim the waking hours
And transform the worlds into voids
buzzing in the back of thoughts

Through the maze of the brain
Sucking them out of life's blood

The days go blank and you are snowblind
And their presence can manifest
Unwilling hearts turn to slavery
To a grim machine befreed of compassion

Driving the sanity to the edge
Till its all gone and forgotten

[repeat part 2]
[repeat chorus]

No soul, no emotion, but oh so cold
Take it in, in the hour of sleep
With no remorse and the mutation
Is complete

[repeat chorus]

04. The Mirroring Shadow

Like a blind man being left behind
Hitting every corner to make hurt
Left with a knowing of being not all right
And books and instruments to make that go away
In darkness - no reading can be done
In darkness - the scalpel cuts all wrong

[Chorus]
I have been waiting for so long
Through a mirroring shadow

Never surrender, so they say
But if every try makes the next one even faultier
Should there not be a point of saying nay
Puzzling with my brain
Needles and alcohol to drain
Zip-sap-sow - there tomorrows go

[repeat chorus)]

In that cube of black where i was trapped
White would circularly saw and make me free
When death came to close, there you were
Splendor of shine and grace
Transcending one of many a deaths
I was becoming all that i wanted

But lights still remains a constant in mind
Though eyes cannot receive any glow
I keep it to myself as an arousal fantasy
And bit by bit I start to to make myself a believer

[repeat chorus)]

05. A Trail Blazed Through Time

My victories I know of well
but in my eyes they dim fast into nothing
A constant of struggles
by not knowing a static foundation.

Always tomorrow, never today.
Always tomorrow, forget I plead for yesterday.

Only he that fears dying will pave his way
according to his will through life.

In no record of time will it read
of how the world was won nor lost.
Be it what may ahead in time
Only a memory lit for a second in eternity's passing.

It will not remain to be saved.
It will shatter, and gone as it never ever were.

Only he that fears dying will pave his way
according to his will through life.

Only I that hear the children crying
will save the day following this crippled life.

Such is the path of this solitude
It is not for you, not for anyone but one.
One of struggles, choices come now
One of losses made strong.

Such is the path of this solitude
It is not for you, not for anyone but one.
One of struggles, choices come now
One of losses made strong.

Only I that hear the children crying
will save the day following this crippled life.

06. Dimorphic

When the storm came,
bashing waters against my windows,
ripping my calm and making the dark complete
I knew not to die in autumn.

Herald a spice of cold
Reaming through for life
Escaping the anguish of days gone bad
towards days going worse.

Hell - I see it
Hell - I know your domains
Hell on a crown of thorns.

The terror of a statue taking posture
in this contaminated building.
If I could see it I'd tear my eyes out
for how to bear this knowing
Of how flesh turning to stone, iron or dust.
It happened just now.

Hell to be relived
in order to make a new god.
Hell for only me, so that you might live.

Nothing left in the mirror's frame now.
Something must have left this room.
Thought all the doors are locked
and have been sealed firmly since ages.

Nothing left in the mirror's frame now.
Something must have left this room.

Hell - I see it
Hell - I know your domains
Hell on a crown of thorns.

Hell to be relived
in order to make a new god.
Hell for only me, so that you might live.
Hell on a crown of thorns.

When the storm came,
bashing waters against my windows,
ripping my calm and making the dark complete
I knew not to die in autumn.

Herald a spice of cold
Reaming through for life
Escaping the anguish of days gone bad
towards days going worse.

07. Sulphury Sun

To live is to suffer, or so they say
A constant of overcoming pains and wounds.

In the heart or the temple of soul
orbits a sinister sun
both in us and above.
To burn us away one final day,
so we live in open agony
or illusion indulged.

To live is to suffer, or so they say
A constant of overcoming pains and wounds.

But refuse to be small,
weak or the victim
To any cost, live as if there were
no one thing bothering.

Do it and rejoice
in a strange twilight paradise.
Twilight paradise.

One with hurt, one with joy
One that is the only one
Survive, and death shall reward as best,
shall reward as best...

One with hurt, one with joy
One that is the only one.
Twilight.

Survive, to any cost.
There in lies the secret of life
And all death of the sulphury sun.

But refuse to be small,
weak or the victim
To any cost, live as if there were
no one thing bothering.

Do it and rejoice
in a strange twilight paradise.
Twilight paradise.

But refuse to be small,
weak or the victim
To any cost, live as if there were
no one thing bothering.

Do it and rejoice
in a strange twilight paradise.
Twilight paradise.

08. Imago 2.0

In old broken wooden chairs,
by windows towards grey void plains
Spiders webs now cling round
Legs 'neath our sits here.

And cracks make these thrones unsteady
in that old wooden chair.
And that clock on the wall
Pending for a call to make
Or one to take.

One that still remembered,
more than he had left to make memory
of reading of news now old and very forgotten.
Watching dawns over neverending,
cold dead land.

No! Is it really so?
That clock still peddles on.
So hear now how?
In our minds it rings for noon.

It's midday for the memory of those now dead.
Life's spring of what is immortal
And that shall live with them.
Oh, what an epitaph!

One that still remembered,
more than he had left to make memory
of reading of news now old and very forgotten.
Watching dawns over neverending,
cold dead land.

They sadly all were too seldom,
yet with an echo of times gone by.
Speaking in creaky sounds in this old chair,
where once sat breathing men.

One that still remembered,
more than he had left to make memory
of reading of news now old and very forgotten.
Watching dawns over neverending,
cold dead land.

09. Theca

Steps are hard to balance here
Gone far, in a maze lost.
A smell luring with wickedness
Addicting spirit and soul.

Lust of joy and disease harden,
then break my body down.
Gravity killing intellect
around a black hole.

Closer now, body aching
Mind goes blank
Slow sacrifice for those unseen.

Forbidden words spoken
in forests of concrete and steel
Magick dusted on eyes through drugs.

Invisible gateways open up the ground
Tunnels of darkness with no ends.
Creatures undefined - shapeshifting.

Worms and insects invited
to touch, to invocate, to feed me,
skin me of old scaled skin.

And I, to learn secrets of undying,
Find instruments to master life's force.
Drug myself with chemicals of youth
to go to sleep and wake unweary.

Closer now, body aching
Mind goes blank
Slow sacrifice for those unseen.

Invisible gateways open up the ground
Tunnels of darkness with no ends.
Creatures undefined - shapeshifting.

Invisible gateways open up the ground
Tunnels of darkness with no ends.
Creatures undefined - shapeshifting.

Invisible gateways open up the ground
Tunnels of darkness with no ends.
Creatures undefined - shapeshifting.
