We are delusional, down goes mortality
Still we fight off and create as the only creatures In a life kept secret Ways that stand the point left beyond No! There is a void between our hands That drowns us out of light, An arrow lazed in liquid darkness For every sun Gods heart No! It has always been right here Like a shadow in our blood No! It waits for you and me A shadow in our blood We are delusional from fiction of reality, To prayers of prosperity, Our loneliness, that we resist your pale attraction Give into the dream with your benevolent Oh will this world within a world live on (fun)? Another page torn from the book of secrets Where was I when the Voices made no sound And remembers the hours No! It has always been right here Like a shadow in our blood No! I cant waits for you and me A shadow in our blood Here in the barren land still Far from the shores of real Beings born beyond borders What we even thought that once You were invincible No! It has always been right here Like a shadow in our blood No! It waits for you and me A shadow in our blood 02. Dream Oblivion
He takes a stand
And looks the serpent in the eye This close I have the upper hand This ends on my terms I challenge nonexistence Every single day The end of my end of freedom End of everything A most violent event Praise individuality It turns on your shadow And ever-stained light That pulls ungrateful eyes (maybe lies) Attached to the black song In dream oblivion We gaze upwards And stare into a lie This is the last time I am now done with this I'm carried by nothing Every single day The end of my end of freedom End of everything The end of everything Now in reality unend The fall of all morality Attached to the black song In ever-stained light That pulls on desperate eyes (maybe lies) Attached to the black song In dream oblivion The end of faith and of men (maybe me) End of everything A most violent event In dream oblivion 03. The Fatalist
Eventually they'll come
Your name has been called Out for eons To claim the blood Salvage what remains For once we've seen the fragile nature Of things behind its window Where nothing lives And nothing ends And seen what drives the hopelessness In between their yellow closing walls The day has come You are the fatalist The day has come You are the fatalist You walk on soil, that dreams of blood How can we fight fatigue? In pre-historic sorrow? When all is preordained The cycle never ends What once had been an endless realm Of possibility and dream Now laid to waste and ruin Laid to waste again You wash your hands in blood You squander time We borrow from eternity Is it another lame excuse? The day has come You are the fatalist The day has come You are the fatalist You walk on soil, that dreams of blood You are the fatalist If nothing changes Then nothing ends Your thoughts are broken Your reasoning is flawed The defense is just an act All lies are all you've got You are the fatalist You are the fatalist How easy we can see Defeat behind your argument The fatalistic smile The day has come You are the fatalist The day has come You are the fatalist You walk on soil, that dreams of blood The day has come The day has come You walk the ground that screams for murder 04. In My Absence
Eyes that meet to say farewell
And linger through the sleepless nights A trail of days that end in tears But I can never be there The rush of hours that never seem to end What life has dealt you can not comprehend I am the absentee I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see through your eyes, I'm right here How could I have known what preceded your own thoughts Wish that I could listen to what only speaks inside Every raging dissonance Each jarring note But I could never be there How can you think that I would understand When words just go around what the heart truly wants I am the absentee I know you're out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see through your eyes, I'm right here I want to tell you, Of the exploding light How everything is visible Moments before the dark I am never, never there I know you're out there searching tonight Another day and I'm not there Thrust with nails of conflict Anxiety and pin Through spells of anger, confusion and defeat I wish you'd see me here in front of you, But I am not here I know your out there searching tonight I'm right here Another day and I cannot see though your eyes I know your out there, But I'm right here Another day and I cannot see though your eyes, Lead me right 05. The Grandest Accusation
What if you are an island of sorrow
Then I'll be the raging sea What if you are the reaching trees Then I'll be the storm that with fire rages The new loneliness Your name on the door Just like a diagnose For a venomous disease Man is the cemetery for unlived life All for nought The grand accusation Your face is your name Word and shield Sharp as a curse Man is the cemetery for unlived life All for nought The grand accusation You chose rejection Over thoughts of insight You take action From focus on intent And race for impact Not waiting for the fall What cries here, cries inside Man is the cemetery for unlived life The grand accusation What if you were a country of grief With me the invading force What if you were to measure the hollow That captivates and devours you The new loneliness Your name on the door Just like a diagnose For a venomous disease Man is the cemetery for unlived life All for nought 06. At the Point Of Ignition
Do not hide your sorrow,
Or banish it from sight Take it out to burn, Turn the pain against it In a day, that holds no other What are we? The fuel or the flame? In a life, that hides behind you What are you? The fuel or the flame? In the proud momentum, thrust the hand from the start Our fragile fate falls apart I hear you in my echo, I refuse to leave it behind I see you in my shadow, waiting inside What if we don't question the meaning of it all The answer in our system Bound to kill the spark The moments so illusive One dream never ends Scars the dying moment that burns another dream In a day, that holds no other What are we? The fuel or the flame? In the life, that hides behind you What are you? The shine of trembling stars, Out in the distant Curse this lack of site, Into darkness without end In a day, that holds no other What are we? The fuel or the flame? In a life, that hides behind you What are you? The fuel or the flame? In a day, that holds no other What are we? In a life, that hides behind you What are you? What are you? 07. Her Silent Language
Why do I see her, the never ending nights?
Why do I see her, wearing nothing but the dark? Have you come in to warn me? A warn I cannot see You want to tell me something But you do not have the words I know where you live I can see it through your darkness And when you sleep I hear a heart that beats you Have you come in to warn me? A warn I cannot see You want to tell me something But you do not have the words I fought/fall into the distance A life that does not connect Time played well its parts On the strings that blind us Encounters in silence Words elude the freeing night Wish I could fed them But its to hard to tell Her head hangs low In the silence of a room Her head hangs low She takes a bite out of her heart Have you come in to warn me? With words I cannot see You want to tell me something But you do not have the words 08. Arkhangelsk
Willed by winters so called frost
Fix the in anxieties from grip The frost that burned the honorees Underneath the heavy clouds The lifted sword, the broken shield The end that drew the final word From the frozen mouth of Arkhangelsk Let them go, let them burnt the world to cinders Let the rats run down Falling through the tungsten skies The burning clouds of Arkhangelsk To the eye of judgement now What will stand when time of the end (time of the end) Center stone, into fire On to nothing and nothing to lose They gather, groaning to the souls Of the grinding winds of Arkhangelsk In the world what movement in The fabric, everything dies The storm that sweeps the world away From the frozen plains of Arkhangelsk You hear it from the morning star, What others brought And the land, forgot Soaring through the Nether mills Through blazing stars, the time suns The grinder now that carries us Through the bloody end of Arkhangelsk 09. I Am The Void
Drink this water again
That runs my withered memory When your name is lost But never forget yourself This future, this dream That carries you faith further on These waters know you It calls you by your one true name Have you ever noticed the spaces in between When life is a recession We are going to kneel again I am the call, I speak inside of you I am the void that haunts you I am the howl that calls you out I am the void, I am the void Rest your weary heads Until the underworld Has left its silent whispers Again in your waking dreams In time without pause Of what this long son has come to beat of the fallen its going to rain in your blood The machinery of chaos Out comes the light in you Chained to the grinding wheel The forces unseen I am the call, I speak inside of you I am the void that haunts you I am the howl that calls you out I am the void, I am the void I am the void You have always been between another set of walls Outside of which, The world is watching down on you In side a silent speaks Kept close to the end This alibi never reaching out, never give in I am the call, I speak inside of you I am the void that haunts you I am the howl that calls you out I am the void, I am the void 10. Surface The Infinite
It starts below
The pile and the burning in the Darkness in the recipe And fire in the soul To paralyze and strangle hold Disable the design The reminisce of reality And a better time Is torn apart We carry our fear inside, That space that hold the darkness We stretch our skin around, To cover the abyss The unspoken reality A future we foresee Blood that seeks redemption In endless nights of sin Spades without spears That pierce the blinding sun We hide from the elements of grief That nothing remains We carry our fear inside, That space that hold the darkness We stretch our skin around, To cover the abyss Its in today, what sets the system Its in our nature to the bare the e to the end What if this feeling contains the truth? What if our dreams give way to the dawn of old? What if lost desire cant be found? No shelter, no barriers between Whats already inside Retreats when the surface folds We wear our lives On waters and dust Like daemons of the lost Still wrapped in our own confusion, The call of the abyss We carry our fear inside, That space that hold the darkness We stretch our skin around, To cover the abyss 11. Iridium
Let the horizon lead
On through the ether of the night Dragged across the burning heavens Flying homeward like a burdened soul Shattered into a million brighter stars we fragile, naked, rare Scattered across forever Out from creations core An end beyond compare Iridium Now is the time to leave We lie awake, we stand afire At the edge of the world Above, mirror of light Below, the mantle of the stars And strangely they fall Shattered into a million brighter stars we fragile, naked, rare Scattered across forever Out from creations core An end beyond compare Iridium Shattered into a million brighter stars we fragile, naked, rare Scattered across forever Out from creations core An end beyond compare An end beyond compare Iridium 12. Zero Distance
What is your life about today?
A bit of emptiness, a close resemblance To what you thought was right So wrong, you don't belong The face you hold is false Drawn to the darkest emotions Sworn to the vortex of grief Disguised as empathy It's not supposed to be I know you're faking it So take a look around Zero distance From where do you see yourself? Zero distance How far are you willing to go? A broken perspective That you imposed on the innocent Your fallen set of standards Go beyond what is decisively human Take from others what you do not have What you cannot own Wear the mask, be the mask You hide behind We're not supposed to see I know you're faking it So take a look around Zero distance From where do you see yourself? Zero distance How far are you willing to go? Zero distance Can you see what I see? Zero distance How far are you already gone? To the end of what you fear Take a firm hold of that outmost misery I want to see you Show disgust for sympathy, honour and bravery I know you're faking it So take a look around Zero distance From where do you see yourself? Zero distance How far are you willing to go? 13. Out Of Gravity
Each and every night
My heart shoulders the armour And charges into the dark To slay what took you from me But there in the eye of the prey I see my reflection The armour now shatters to pieces Until I hear the call again Alone I set out to find you Below the timeline Alone and far from the stars I walk out of gravity As lightning scorns the night And conspires with the sunken seas Out there are hunters of the invisible Tracking mere dust for days On cracked soil now they walk On ground that has lost it's hold Alone I set out to find you Below the timeline Alone and far from the stars I walk the nether paths In voidlike silence Through veins of man A new disease breaks our ground By venomous sorrow's hand It caught me by surprise The sudden weight of my own blood Gravitate towards the end A pull that offers no option So steep my longing I give in to vertigo Whipping of cold black tongues Poisons my wounds Alone I set out to find you Below the timeline Alone and far from the stars I walk out of gravity 14. Star Of Nothingness
Instrumental
15. To Where Fires Cannot Feed
We throw ourselves
Like rocks against the heavens To call to us attention And set our sights for higher ground Weaved within the nervous system Of our planet and the vows we keep The dormant fragments Of selfdestructive code Into the emptiness Where fires cannot feed No way to hold The burden of love alive We nod at each other From across the opened plain grave And go to memories To visit our own lives You carry my life Inside you My only witness We hide in the bodies of greater beings Together as one through endless trials Into the emptiness Where fires cannot feed No way to hold The burden of love alive 16. The Bow And The Arrow
The print you left
Bear just witness To the forceful push With which you thrust yourself Out of this world Your own very being Launched away from this temporary hold You are never gone The letters of your name A scar that never heals So be the bow and the arrow Be the rope and the angered scream As time now eats away At the unmarked graves And indifferent winds take speed Over lands of uncertainty To hold what can't be held Against the coming dark In the minds of the hollow Hollowed out Your words rang once so true You are never gone The letters of your name A scar that never heals You are never gone For you are ours now We hold you in our hearts There are still tremors The occasional sparks A voice unheard From the empty void We can still feel it Your body turned loose in the darkness Grief is the razor Within these walls of skin To the end of forever To the end You are never gone The letters of your name A scar that never heals So be the bow and the arrow Be the rope and the angered scream You are never gone As indifferent winds take speed Over lands of uncertainty You are never gone |
