Disentomb - The Decaying Light lyrics



Tracks



01. Collapsing Skies

Enthralled by the void of souls, I am drawn into their world
Droning calls of my original name
Promises that if I follow, I will be set free
Let me be absorbed

02. Your Prayers Echo Into Nothingness

Where are your broken gods now?
They have failed you
We found an escape from the dead paradise
Your truth is repugnant

This world has been plunged into depression
Bound down with a false sense of a god
Turning to polluted skies for answers
Your empires have been abandoned
The prayers awakened him

The dying sun marks the arrival of doom incarnate
Destroying the followers of light

The return of disease
This realm is now rotting
Behold him with ten horns
The blast of gloom consumes all

Prayers for their creator summoned murk
Blasts to waste centuries of faith

Feeding on their belief
Can you hear their pleas for God?
"Living is my suffering"
I'll be the end they want
The void they saw in visions

Lay down your symbols for the dread
Witch of black voids

Within this world I have given up
I've seen the end, there's no other path
Winds of despair have worn down my soul
This creation is not from our world

Where are your broken gods now?
They have failed you
We found an escape from the dead paradise
Your idols are repugnant

There will be no more funerals for the gods that we defeat
You're baptized in black mucus
Reborn into a world of anguish in which distance means despair

Feeding on their belief
Can you hear their pleas for God?
End their faith

03. Indecipherable Sermons Of Gloom

I have always been dead inside
They call unto my name, their whispers they grow
The bond between me and this world has been broken
My beliefs have been scorched

My faith is reduced to ash
Their whispers grow louder
Begins my transformation into the that will bring on the end
Their dismal liturgies summoning
Before you see the truth you must pray for misery
Sadness, our journey through hopelessness will never end
There are no saviours in this wretched world
Dismal liturgies summon the bleak

Voices casting incantations of doom
Tell me to take their form

I have become gloom
They speak in tongues
Incantations of doom
I have become gloom

There are no saviours in this wretched world
Dismal liturgies summon the bleak

I've always been dead inside
My faith is reduced to ash
Their whispers grow louder
Voices casting the truth

04. Undying Dysphoria

Great Oppressor who feeds on human debris
My  veins are filled with thorns, it hurts to breathe

Great  Depressor? release me from your strange grip
I've been praying for dawn all of this time

I was once human
Before  I threw myself over the cliffs into the ocean
Reduced  to the substance
Crushed in fathoms
The  heavens besieged with the prayers of prey

It's here now breathing
Dormant dead memories
The crown it wears in its skull

The  Oppressor casts down ash clouds to invoke undying dysphoria
Enthroned are the burnt prophets
Shards of light cut through and corrode the pillars in my mind
Demolishing my reality
Turning the skies red

I hear him speak vile verses
The grotesque forms thriving on our
Behold sickness in its true form

In front of the gates I fell apart
Withering to the soil fertilized by the human debris
Undying dysphoria

05. Centuries Of Deluge

The false prophets declared themselves gods to their prey
Ignoring signs of the great eclipses
Kings of no claim preached untruths without fear

Their advisers told of no hope
They built their arks on absolute lies

Blasting the earth with storms of revenge

Their pursuit of the false gods of light will lead them into sewers of grey
Submerged in endless tides of nihilism

Swallowed oceans, the reprisal
Their souls reclaimed
Worlds transformed into decay

Revenge from the lost depths
Cast down into graves you had excavated
Now you must submit to the master of dearth
You were guided to the trenches of sorrow to feed from the troughs
There is nothing left here, no more godliness
Sentenced to centuries of deluge

There is no guardian to retribution
The fury of the alpha ignored will be the final eclipse

This world will fill with the liquid funeral of gods
As the eclipse closes you will learn there's none

Swallowed oceans, the reprisal
Their souls reclaimed
Worlds transformed into bleak

06. The Decaying Light

The kingdoms of light will always be decaying when the shadows cloak
The merge begins, drained from this world
The grotesque feeds on these realms

I bear witness to the burning eclipse
With lungs full of cinder speaking in tongues
Falling to the ground, convulsing
Suffering will cleanse us from sin

They will bow their heads
They will bend their knees
We will drag your gods
Where the light can't reach

It speaks the unknown but I understand
If you take the path of the anti-light you will learn he's the light
He speaks to me in my mind, destroy
Within my mind

The kingdoms of light will always be decaying when the shadows cloak
The merge begins, drained from this world
The grotesque feeds on these realms

I bear witness to the burning eclipse
With lungs full of cinder speaking in tongues
You will all drown in the decaying light

They will bow their heads
They will bend their knees
We will drag your gods
Where the light can't reach

07. The Great Abandonment

They died here, the idols we cherished
Caught in the fire, their wings turned to embers on the horizon
Rain angelic ashes
Forgotten
We have all been left here to rot

The forgotten son

Abandoned
Our lungs are filled with smoke
Engulfed in a world left in burnt ruins
Forsaken by bleak monstrosities
The portals closed and we're left to live

08. Dredged Into Existence

We have been searching into our existence
For what we had shunned
But it was too dim to find in the trench
The embers vanquished

We could not mine any further into our hearts
All we could find was the harsh truth through the black sludge
We discovered that the roots of the tree of life decaying
Our despair grew so much that we craved death

Dredged into existence

All these moments blended into one another
The suffering was long enough that we shunned enlightenment

We have been searching into our existence
For what we had shunned
But it was too dim to find in the trench
The embers vanquished

Dredged into existence
Dredged into existence

09. The Droning Monolith

Converted, I am now a vessel for the gods who have drowned
Their gift of visions has shown me to stray from the path
The dejected gods and their kings of light are my shepherds
I no longer need the light for I am devoted to the scorched lands

No hope

Filled with dread inside like sorrow fiends that roam
This is my sentence? he is the destroyer

The only salvation I hope for is
But I can't be sure I am still living
Transform me from my grief
I long for my death? drifting through the dust
This must be the end
I'm sworn to the bleak

Scorched lands
No hope

Converted? I am now a vessel for the gods
Their gift of visions has transformed me

I long for my death, drifting through the dust
This must be the end
Transform me from my grief

10. Dismal Liturgies

Their souls belong to me
I tore down their king
Now wear his broken crown
And sing hymns to the void

The wretched is me
Excavating their dread
Through hope I lured them
Toxins face my words
Hear the forked tongue choirs

The flames begin to ignite
Hordes flow through the white gates
Disciples drop to their knees
Converting those who surrender their faith
Blood flows through the white palace
Despondency will flood my conscience
Adversary, he journeys through their minds

Shrouded in embers
I hunt down the cherubs
Who wish to protect
The pillars of reverence
With rusted void spears
They implode in disgrace
Singing dismal liturgies, only I listen

When it all ends, this is what you will hear

Utopia will burn
Black smoke marks my return

Dragging him from this throne room
Watch your kingdom conquered
And face the trials of scorn from those who laid down their weapons for me

Witness me feast on your broken saviour
Devouring your god
In the final moments he will sing my dismal liturgies

11. Invocation In The Cathedral Of Dust

Conquered gods will always kneel for the dead enlightened one
With eyes lowered they will conceive
Scriptures in their mind guides them to the fortress of dust
Guarded by kings who spew fire and relish in death

Here I lay in dust made from their hearts
I walk into the light of self-carnage
Their forms taking shape in the red mist
It begins, blood seeps through the dust

The ground breaks open, I fall into the chamber
This is where all gods have come to die

Engulfed in mucus, I start to dream in the minds of idols born in dying landscapes

Here I am, absorb me
Here I am, absorb me

12. Rebirth Through Excoriation

Carving with tusks of angels
I  hollowed out the vessels of these fiends
Immersed  in iniquitous grey sludge
Here I am, feeding on their dusted heart

Thriving in dread, drinking venom in hopes of final death
Writing  in blood, I bear witness to the gateway voids
Both  worlds I have suffocated
Submerged in the blinding shadows of rust
This  is the journey for the godless
When they told of hell, this must have been it

Let it take me, supreme sorrow
Trapped inside this miscreation
Rebirth  through excoriation
Dragged into voids

Unholy instruments create the incisions for rebirth
This beast still breathes

Twisting through tendons, I search for my soul
The roars of demons inside and
I've become withdrawn from a world of revulsion

Nourishing on the messenger
Deliver me to the nether

Carving with tusks of angels
I hollowed out the vessels of these fiends
Immersed in iniquitous grey sludge
Here I am, feeding on their dusted heart

Awakened, no longer dormant, my bones begin to break
It's now my time of inert demons inside what I thought was a barren mind
Transforming into Vomirk
Ascending to a new state
A search for the end of my life led to the beginning of true despair

Rebirth
Spewing from the skies
Rebirth
The light always dies

13. Withering
