A sea of doom and dreariness
It seems as if nothing exists a dreams distress Yet the silent waves ripples As the great void fills the sails And takes me towards nothing Time goes away Disappears are replaced Thus within the boundaries of a mind No stark truths are faced Then to the Blackness one is blind But a slender flame still burns With its glow it has scorched my skin And will take me towards nothing The light A part of the darkness as it shines I see now that nothing is holy Since everything is in an opposition Therefore in joy lives grief And in benevolence dwells The most atrocious evil So take me towards nothing 02. Face Of Death Music & lyrics by Jonathan Hultén
The face of death is a mask
That will not get of Its empty eye sockets Are windows to eternity And its mouth is a black hole Where everything except For the Stenches will perish Twisted limbs and muscles Atrophies in a storm of blood The spine slowly rises As the rocks of an islet The black flesh is exposed Life is fluid Death thirsts Stricken by the fever of putrefaction Burning in the cavity of the body Collapsing in a cascade of gas And seething fluid The face of death Is a mask that will not get off Twisted limbs and muscles Atrophies in a storm of blood The spine slowly rises As the rocks of an islet Stare into these eyes! The face of death 03. Ghosts Music & lyrics by Jonathan Hultén
In an age where everything is relative
Where all the consistents are gone Is the end all that still is real The only thing that is left To make for granted is to die The fear of the unknown tends to create fear for the Death So take a step back from the Darkness and look at your flesh And behold We are all here on borrowed time And by dawn we are old If there is something we could and should know It's that we do not know anything at all Except for the fact that everything is relative But Death The meaning of life of the roan Lies in the fact that it must end Just as a fire when time has it quenched The fear and the horror tends to create phantoms of Death So take a deep breath and pierce through the darkness and flesh And behold To the phantasms of deadness and fright Your sense you have sold Ghosts 04. Breath Of The Rottenness Music & lyrics by Jonathan Hultén
On the brink of time I am washed ashore
As I drag myself through the mud I appear to stand alone I will taste my blood Derive strength from the utter horizon And break through Breathe the Breath of the Rottenness Accept the gift of decay See that everything will rot And embrace When the sun glares in my eyes I delve in the shadows it casts In the shades light is uncovered In the opposite truth is unveiled Live with death Feel the stench of its breath See that everything will rot and embrace Then you will never be a slave To the power of death Death The language no one dares to speak The tongue of the meaning to die In this putrescence, in the nothingness No one will come to try Taste your blood Derive strength from the utter horizon And break through Breathe the Breath of the Rottenness Accept the gift of decay See that everything will rot And embrace Burn In this putrescence, in the nothingness The fumes of the burned out fires remain The stench 05. The Fire Music & lyrics by Jonathan Hultén
Descend through the gray-scale domains
See, fear and wonder With time as companion And as only enemy The monstrous darkness Intrusive and threatening But the light is too bright It blinds you, detests you Now go, descend Where the trail gets narrower is Death Her gaze follows your steps In silence Observes and abides Light a fire alongside the ditch And let it never go out Spread it to new places And put the world in conflagration Encounters of wills, thoughts and passions As the hours they come and go Acquire the sharpest of sights And meet their eyes In darkness Burn and arise Diverse from the path Surrender yourself to the horrors Stand face to face with fear Where the road is wide but narrow In search for the fire you know nothing for sure Except for where it ends 06. Crimson Hills Music & lyrics by Jonathan Hultén
The hills are crimson in the swelling landscape of death
A hollow world undermined by thousands of worms Where existence loudly sinks away The days of putrefaction are arrived When time has spoken they will reign And everything will perish in their name Brooks of blood trickle through the valleys Meets a still chaos and devastation And gather along the black shores of Death Soon everything is gone And only the Stench will remain Like an ominous remembrance Everything will perish in its name A penetrating odour To remind of the silent march of times That then and now is all entwined On the road to the Crimson Hills The days of putrefaction are arrived When time has spoken they will reign And everything will perish In their name 07. Drenched In The Light Music & lyrics by Jonathan Hultén
No one wants to see but everybody knows
All things comes apart to fall back to its source And the sands of time will retain its course Unbound Withershins are none to be found As repression repels the repugnance Darkens the mind, drenched in the Light Death lives concealed in our eyes Oh the foul smell of demise That is where it dwells and will grow As it rises the Blackness will devour your soul A half life is To not hear the silence To only see the white in a cloud As repression repels the repugnance Darkens the mind, drenched in the light Time grinds our bodies As if the sand of the desert Until only the bones remain To our flesh we are forever bound We lead ourselves astray Obstinately fighting The battle against time No one wants to hear But everybody knows That escaping death is to deny life 08. The Ones Who Rot Music & lyrics by Jonathan Hultén
Next to your head
Leads the trail of the walking dead The strife in a stream of unconsciousness Of a promise of life they are led They have stopped to rot Stayed in a state of putrefaction And the mighty awe of death has taken their eyes I am decayed Life is but the question asked For the ones who rot Their greatest dread Compels them to submission The mortal fear always eats from inside Until the hollowness gives away Stop, move no further Stand still and resist flow Be born again in Morbidity Rise, now with death by your side I am decayed Life is but the question asked For the ones who rot Amongst the walking dead I was a slave Now reborn and willing to rot, I am free as I enter my grave Only in death I can be alive In a world forever In putrescence |
