Tracks



01. Where Serpents Dwell

Through the ruins of caved in homes
Purified with a curse
The flare withdraws
Flees a welkin obscured

Cross the black fields where serpents dwell
A dark parade, this is the closure

Forced march into unknown
Stars hide within stars
Hazy mist steals all the shine
As the earth moves on
We are left behind
Banned in hades, caged and blind

Caged and blind

Cross the black fields where serpents dwell
A dark parade, this is the closure

Our sun is dying
Stars hide within stars
Hazy mist steals all the shine
As the earth moves on
We are left behind
Banned in hades, caged and blind

02. The Blackbirds

Like shadows have we become
Repressed, unable to withstand
The wrath we have befallen
On these days of fierce anger

As blackbirds of grief leave us withering
Without respite
It gets hard to breathe
Soon our pulse wanes

Sole creatures lost and undone
Incused, unable to escape
The havoc we have arisen
On these ruins we will succumb

As blackbirds of grief leave us withering
Without respite
It gets hard to breathe
Soon our pulse wanes

The noise shatters, today holds
No forgiveness, no more time
All belief has vanished form these lands, as we let
Ourselves grow cold, inert as ghosts
Ourselves grow cold, inert as ghosts
Ourselves grow cold, inert as ghosts

We abandoned all the faith
We abandoned all the hope
We abandoned all the blaze
We abandoned all the hope
Windup is at the hand
Today all life pines away, it's our twilight
All the beauty has vanished from these lands
As we let ourselves cave in, lifeless within

03. Hands That Decay

Is this finally the winter
When solar wind breaks our fate?
I've been waiting for the last spell
So long I've lost the gasp of everything

So long I've lost the visions
Visions from my eyes

Run away from this dead end point
Is there a place to go
Where hope still grows
Untouched by the hands that decay?

Where tomorrow holds a brighter dawn
Release from all this filth?
Run away from this soiled ground
Harmony we broke, the dying glow
Dark shades of the failed cycle

(Finish this shame
Heal me and walk away
No more staring walls
People full of holes
Blank eyes, hollow speech
The echoes)

Breaking like zero degrees in my heart
Dead reality, veiling with frost us all
Breaking like zero degrees in my heart
Dead reality, all delight frozen and scarred

Waiting hands stained in blood
Waiting with ice cold heart

Breaking like zero degrees in my heart
Dead reality, veiling with frost us all
Breaking like zero degrees in my heart
Dead reality, all delight frozen and scarred

Waiting hands stained in blood
Waiting with ice cold heart

04. Times Of Disgrace

Grow old in this place?
To see you age in
Disharmony?
This shelter the only home for you
The line is crossed for evermore

In this room
With the unmoved faces staring mute
Times of disgrace
With misery we are engaged
Times of disgrace
We lost our humanity

As divided fall upon us the closing times
The heavens open crashing down the claws of light
All our sins in the end victimized
Will we find relief on demise?

Times of disgrace fall upon us
Times of disgrace fall upon us

Close your eyes, let the darkness fall
Close your eyes, we'll meet again beyond this all
Close your eyes, let the night time fall
Close your eyes and all the woe will be gone

Close your eyes, let the darkness fall
Close your eyes, we'll meet again beyond this all
Close your eyes, let the night time fall
Close your eyes and all the woe will be gone

And now we fall
Now we fall, now we fall
And now we fall in the perish of it all
And now we fall
Now we fall, now we fall
And now we fall in the perish of it all

05. Wolves Cry Out

Ravaged with hate into bleeding ground
That suffocates
Once haunting desires fade away
With anguished cries

Nature bent on revenge
Voice of perdition
Screaming, outburst is close
Howls catching our cores
One last, one last overthrow
There is no escape, no escape

This time the wolves cry out for blood
Abhorrent of our kind
This time our hearts will be ripped apart
They will spare no life
Outlived is our time

Scenes of the future in the red pouring rain
Witness our false beliefs drown
We are not the chosen ones

This time the wolves cry out for blood
Abhorrent of our kind
This time our hearts will be ripped apart
Outlived is our time
This time the wolves cry out for blood
Unforgiven, our crimes
This time our hearts will be ripped apart
No one can spare our lives
Outlived is our time, outlived is our time

Came the day of deceiving lies
The moment of going away
No strength left to arise
Innocence profaned by unwell mind
Unwell mind

Came the day of deceiving lies
The moment of going away
No strength left to arise
Innocence profaned by unwell mind
Unwell mind

06. Oceans Away

Paralyzed, breeding disease
In this dark grown place
A scarred soul, you went away
Alone, alone

Undying sickness in disarray
When the world wakes, lifeless and always desert
Where can I go?

Breathing with ever slowing pace
Longing for release
As shadows pass, longing
As shadows pass across my face

Alone between the heaves of storm
Drifting oceans away
For how much longer will I have to wait?
For these cold waves to wash us all away?

Alone between the heaves of storm
Drifting oceans away
For how much longer will I have to wait?
For these cold waves to wash us all away?
To bring you back home?
To bring you back home?

07. The Fires Of Sheol

We roam towards the downfall in fear
Enchained in punishment

Crying for deliverance
We who are the ones to blame
Unsound minds raising Cains
Evoking the man's ruin
We gave birth for the plague
Futile souls born in vain

Fever's rising under the blaze
Desecration turns a new page

In pyres we'll evanish
As the passage terminates
In Eden, turned into a grave

Decline will be cleansed tonight
Burn with me above this tomb
Let the tire erase all the gloom
Erase all the gloom

This paradise will never rise or thrive
Black glints horizon, dark falls the sky
The gates of light forever barred
All life crushed and discarded

Thousand years of decline
Will be cleansed tonight
Burn with me above this tomb
Let the fire erase all the gloom
Erase all the gloom

Thousand years of decline
Fades out in flames tonight
We all burn in the fires of Sheol

08. Inherit The Eden
