Vortech - Asphyxiation lyrics



Tracks



01. Humid Skies Of Darkness

Sever the clouds above
As the endless rain commences the flow
These times so highly sought
Legions wiped away with this drought

The gates crack wide open
None is spared - devoured the light
Blackened world coloured crimson red by
The falling curtain of mankind's end

...And now at the dusk of this all
Stumbling to your final fall

The gates crack wide open
None is spared - devoured the light
Blackened world coloured crimson red by
The falling curtain of mankind's end

Seas of blood, heavenly flood
The wound is open, come and taste
The all-makers thunder appeased
For the sleepers of styx have been released

A new day's dawn ahead
Another world left for dead

The gates crack wide open
None is spared - devoured the light
Blackened world coloured crimson red by
The falling curtain of mankind's end

Flood in the poisoned vines
Tonight the sky indelible yellow
Asphyxiation of an entire race
Evolution heading at random

The floodgates cannot hold them back
Relentless / powerless
Behold in awe what the future has in store
For this wrathfully broken seal

02. Asphyxiation

Grasp for air in this barren wasteland
Of an eternity living on this godforsaken rock
For short you will be of oxygen
Following the putrefaction of our future

Delirious - Running short
Running low - Your last breath

Grasp for air in this barren wasteland
Of an eternity living on this godforsaken rock
For short you will be of oxygen
Following the putrefaction of our future

Asphyxiated in this carbon dioxidified
Terraform of a long lost hope
Somewhere ahead looms
The destination of a mirthless race

We are the breathless ones, heading for extinction
Incoherent goals, revert modes

Asphyxiated in this carbon dioxidified
Terraform of a long lost hope
Somewhere ahead looms
The destination of a mirthless race

We are the breathless ones, heading for extinction
Incoherent goals, revert modes

...For short you will be of oxygen following the putrefaction of our future

03. Gnawed By The Otherworldly Vex

Run away, run away - The hordes of hell behind your back
Moon is low, moon is low - You'll soon start to lose the form
End is nigh, end is nigh - A few more steps to stay alive

What is this?
You tremble down a slope so fast
A new escape, or is it really that?

Deep in the pit
You feel something grow on you
'Round your neck, 'round your arms
Succumbing you

No, no, no, no, no, NO, NO!
You fell in a trap of the void
The shapeless figures gnawing you
The fight for freedom - desperation...

The means of escape, right on your sight
You grab the void crystal tight
Harness the powers of their own
Against themselves

The chance, the branch, rip it off, make your move
Success is but a swift move away, waste no time

The vex...
The vex...
The vex...

04. The Variable Of Irresolution

Now I've got to get my head clear
Of these unsolved feeds
These boundless thoughts are not enough
To make one sane
Oh so important numbers, endless greed
Masked variables determined to calculate your need

Lost in numbers, the rattlesnakes are crawling on
Down us all they litter all new resolutions

All you are is a number -
Within their forgotten books -
Know it all, for you shall -
Be the source of their downfall

Lead the uprising -
Heading for a new rule -
Carry on the torch -
Carrions, onwards they march

Lost in numbers, the rattlesnakes are crawling on
Down us all they litter all new resolutions

Now it's time to make our stand
No longer shall they lay their rules

Uncountable counterforce
Towards us on their course

Fight on! Fight on! FIGHT ON!

Rise against, behold a coming thunder
Stop the plight, it's time to put up a fight
The tide'll plough to the final core

Lead the uprising -
Heading for a new rule -
Carry on the torch -
Carrions, onwards they march

We have reached the core
The variables they are no more

05. Visions Macabre

These visions so horrid
They keep on coming
Unrelenting horrors
Peaceless corpses all around

Seen beyond the curtains
Unveiled in the arcane moonlight

Unspeakable tragedy abound
The ancient ones set free
Tragedy among thee
Evil ones of the past

Have a look around, there ain't much to see
All in ruins, all
Left for dead to rot under the sun
Of this best before world

Infinity to process
The answer

Seen beyond the curtains
Unveiled in the arcane moonlight

Have a look around, there ain't much to see
All in ruins, all
Left for dead to rot under the sun
Of this best before world

Foreseen ages ago
Now set into motion
Infinity has passed
No answer

Tragedy among thee
Evil ones of the past
At the end
Waiting for your answer

Have a look around, there ain't much to see
All in ruins, all
Left for dead to rot under the sun
Of this best before world

Now we have reached the end

06. Spiritual Entity

Endlessly the creatures shall prey
The weak trembling all before them

Settling with arms to wage war against them
This fight shall have no mercy passed
The bloodletting shall paint the fields victor crimson
All opposition crushed by the engines of terror
