01. Deathscape MMXIV

Lyrics by Danny Woe
It all fades away into a monolith
Like a philosophy of timeless dream

Out of the chains of horizon I stroll
Restlessly and full of longing

Can this be it?
The answer to my plea?
Could it really be?
Was I too blind to see?

The rain paints my mood
Euphoric spheres in a darkened slumber

I see the horned messiah rising in the fog
He forms the eclipse and lights my path

Leading on into dementia
Could it be the end?

In a neglected garden of wizardry
I found the well where I wondered
I can't hear anything
But the winds crooning my dirge

Life is not worth the pain
Life is not worth the pain
No life is not worth the pain

02. Catharsis Of The Vessel

Lyrics by Danny Woe
Stars aligned
Tears of the mind
Travel to the end
With all possessions left behind

If I carry your dead
In the wake of a damned world
And if I carry this burden
Through a world condemned
Without souls

Cold world
Cold words

But if I am in heaven I don't like the way
The angels are looking at me
Because fire is either with you or against you

So if I pray
To my inner God
That life will stay
What would I learn?
What would I say?
If life faded and night prevailed

Cold world
Cold words

Now all shall fail
And all shall fade
For what I've become now

03. While Dreaming In The Ethereal Garden

Lyrics by Danny Woe
Abhor the life outside of dreaming
Reject the light of day

Maybe, just maybe, I'm a book not well written,
But there is a spot here for you, my sun

In a cold world I'm left behind
Warmth is best saved for another day

04. Call From The Grave

Lyrics by Originally written by Bathory
God of Heaven
Hear my cries of anguish, I'm in pain
I've suffered a thousand deaths but I live on in vain

Death would greet with eternal sleep
My soul would come to peace
My life had ceased
The time was come
Can no-one hear my plea

Lowered down in the moistened ground
Into the dark and cold
My heartbeat the only sound
Pain tears my limbs and soul

I scream for mercy
Hear my cries
Oh, Lord don't abandon me
I'm so tired
Grant me the eternal sleep

I tear at the lid I'm suffering
In a cold and nameless grave
If Hell is what awaits me
I feel no fright

Buried and forgotten
In a cold and nameless grave
If there's a God in heaven
Hear my call from the grave...

05. Xavier

Lyrics by Originally written by Dead Can Dance
Fair Roseanna your vagrancy's a familiar tale
Fraught with danger, the lives you led were judged profane
Hatred enfolds us, inculcates the minds with it's heresy
Laymen enfold us, clemency arrives to set you free

Faith, although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

These were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
Eve bears the stigma of original sin

Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws
Etched in the seam of nature's own hand
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith

Although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

And as the night turns into day
Will the sun illuminate your way?
Or will the nightmares come home to stay?
Then Xavier's love lies in chains

These were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
