Tracks



01. Shatter

I don't want to feel
I don't want to see
I don't want to love
I don't want to live

I don't wish to drown in the beauty of your eyes
I don't wish to remember the warmth of your embrace
I don't wish to bleed on your altar of demise
I don't wish to wither among the petals of disgrace

Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?
Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?
My love a sacrifice in your temple of disdain
Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?

Evil ot tnaw i
Evol ot tnaw i
Ees ot tnaw i
Leef ot tnaw i

To feel is suffering
To feel is rejection
To feel is despair
To feel is to die

The air liquefies as it enters my shattered lungs
Darkness enwraps my mind as blood stains your skin
My heart pierced by thorns of words that now seem wrong
I yield to the darkness of the agony deep within

Evil ot tnaw i
Evol ot tnaw i
Ees ot tnaw i
Leef ot tnaw i

Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?
Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?
My love a sacrifice in your temple of disdain
Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?

Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?
Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?
My love a sacrifice in your temple of disdain
Why did you cast me into a bottomless pit of pain?

02. I Am The Twilight

Yield, I am the twilight
Three, three days of darkness
Love has turned to hatred
Why have I been chosen?

Chaos, let chaos reign
Repent, in fear repent
Chaos, let chaos reign
Die, die as you pray

Persecute the servants of god
Slaves shall end as slaves
Wading through dying creeks
In gloom towards their graves

Chaos, let chaos reign
Repent, in fear repent
Chaos, let chaos reign
Die, die as you pray

I rise above
In light divine

As you sow
You shall reap

Chaos, let chaos reign
Repent, in fear repent
Chaos, let chaos reign
Die, die as you pray

Lord god of Sebaoth
Black are the heavens
Mine is the face of enmity
Blessed those who suffer

Chaos, let chaos reign
Repent, in fear repent
Chaos, let chaos reign
Die, die as you pray

03. Crucifixus

[Instrumental]

04. Circle Of The Tyrants

After the battle is over
And the sands drunken the blood
All what there remains
Is the bitterness of delusion

The immortality of the gods
Sits at their side
As they leave the walls behind
To reach the jewels gleam

The days have come
When the steel will rule
And upon his head
A crown of gold

Your hand wields the might
The tyrant's the precursor
You carry the will
As the morning is near

I sing the ballads
Of victory and defeat
I hear the tales
Of frozen mystery

The new kingdoms rise
By the circle of the tyrants
In the land of darkness
The warrior, that was me
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and war
Are like everlasting shadows

Where the winds cannot reach
The tyrant's might was born
And often I look back
With tears in my eyes
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and wars
Are like everlasting shadows

05. Dethroned Emperor

See the portal, gate to madness
Locked forever in a veil of shame

Deny extraction - Thirst for disgrace
Watch his break - The emperor's killed
Light of the day - Shadows from beyond
Scaffold of steel - The throne has gone

Dethroned emperor

The foot of the stairs, dimension in might
The king sits, his eyes are glass

Growing of the small - The laughter's fall
Can you deny - Remaining cries?
Descent of the lords - Into the trap
Existence and hate - Unseen gate

Dethroned emperor
