[instrumental]
Cling to truths unknown
They flow like sweet wine
You follow them down
One voice of two breaths
Destroys his perfect design
Reality transforms
It changes all what lies behind
I can see all this now
Cause I'm finally awake
Remain faithful to the core of the obsessed mind!
Come and watch the blackest sea
It runs deeper than you dare to dream it could be
Come and watch the blackest sea
It runs deeper than you dare to dream it could be
We remain faithful to the core
Free from our confines
Awaken the light, chaos and fury
Irresistible force
Come salvation!
Come and revive us in the graves
We pay with our blood, flesh and regret
Aeons of suffering to find there's no life
We're all dead from the start
Future's nothing, it's pure deception to taste
Each second by your blind minds
Save yourself from thyself
If you ever really fucking cared
To know why we came
Come bloody judgement
In heaven as on earth
Where pain bounds our souls
Where darkness never fails
Come across the Styx
And find my emptiness
And secrets remain untold
We're spinning round and round
On our way to hell
Would you die for my sins?
In the end to find
There's no life, we're all dead
From the start
Come and watch the blackest sea
It runs deeper than you dare to dream it could be
Aeons of suffering to find there's no life
We're all dead from the start
Future's nothing - it's pure deception to taste
Each second by your blind minds
Save yourself from thyself
If you ever really fucking cared
To know why we came
Come bloody judgement
In heaven as on earth
Where pain bounds our souls
Where darkness never fails
Come across the Styx
And find my Emptiness
And secrets remain untold
We're spinning round and round
On our way to hell
Would you die for my sins?
In the end to find
There's no life, we're all dead
Extrasensory signs
Not much time left
Deilitation of mentation
Life expropriation
At death grips, daunted by the unknown
Latching on to life, final acceptation
Longevity is lost
Lapidation of hope
Manumission of life
A soul will arrive
At death grips, daunted by the unknown
Latching on to life, final acceptation
Do you know the path you are on, my friend?
Push me no more
Till a point where you will have gone too far
I draw the line
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
You might see things you do not want to see
I won't be me
No hope for you when I turn against you
Feel my vengeance
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
A new enemy to fight
New breed of barbarians
To know not
Yet to dispose
A threat to life as it is known
Civilization will be no more
Hatred will prosper from tribal war
Never to help, simply ignore
Can we all not comprehend
That when we draw the line
We will then have betrayed
Our brotherhood of man
Dare not see which is in all of us
We must see which is in all of us
To let die is living a lie
To let die is living a lie
Can we all not comprehend
That when we draw the line
We will then have betrayed
Our brotherhood of man
Civilisation, a word used in vain
A dark show in which we all play
Sinister actors
Caught in their own faul say
Genocide, horror of the past
Sign of the times
If god had seen what is going down
He would defy humanity
No more than rats,
Struggling to keep their filthy lifes
Birth the reason, for their demise
Though human
Yet loathing the other
A century of holy fires
Death commanded by a holy bible
In fire many souls were lost
The mysteries of evil
Truth or insane lies
The fear of the unholy sword
The fear to see evil arise
Witchcraft, a cause of death
Prove your innocense
Or cruelly you shall burn
A century of holy fires
Death commanded by a manic priest
In fire many lifes were lost
The mysteries of faith
Truth or insane lies
The fear of the holy word
The fear to see evil arise
Searching for answers
this cannot be true
Am I living this life?
Cries of fear, morbid reality
Cries of despair
Fulfilling the dream,
Is it to much too much to ask for?
Desperately seeking feelings
With those who may have the answers
Knowing there must be more
I keep on looking
Am I the only
One asking these questions?
Cries of fear, morbid reality
Cries of anger
Death, grasping its freedom
If not disappointment as always
It's been part of my life
My friends, don't weep for me
As I explore new lands
I write this final chapter
with grief and laughter
This book, my story
All things come to an end
This book, my story
Silence, as I descend
My friends, don't cry for me
For I have lived
This life, wanting to be free
In your memories I'll always be
This book, my story
All things come to an end
This book, my story
Regrets for what has ceased to be
Call this our last goodbye
We'll meet again
In what must be - a better place
Cood companionship
Is beyond any dimension
Regrets, for what could have been
Though death may part our lives...
Will I ever be, who you want me to be
Will I ever want, what you want me to want
Am I going to ever be like you
Why is it to be, that I can't be me
I can do just fine, I will be just fine,
without you here with me
I will probably live, live a richer life
without your good advice
Nothing you can say to change my feelings
Nothing you can do to change my actions
Got to prove to live, got to live to prove
I know how you must feel
Is it just too much? It is all too much
I want to be me
You should be me, then you will see
It is not easy
See life pass you by
Your last hour growing nearer
Enjoyed all pleasures of life
trying to latch on
Desperately trying
trying to latch on
The elder want to grasp
The elder want to know
One foot in the grave
Pass on your wisdom
Made the choices and decisions
Desperately trying to latch on
See the world pass you by
Everything seems to fast
The elder want to grasp
Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all
Many times he died
Many times rose again
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath
He knows death to the bone
Man has created death
Faith, religion, leader, chaos,
Fear
As in future, as in past
Will this darkness come to last?
Hear the voices cry for hope
The ideas for the new era
Call for leader, loss of faith
The desire for a generation pure
Call for leader, loss of faith
The desire of a generation lost
Decadence in religion
Leader through chaos
Faith,
Desire,
Confusion,
Afraid of the future, desire for past
Will these fears ever come to last?
See the people act in decadence
Pride will have a fall
War, faith, religion and chaos
Strange way it goes
Unable, to change
Hurt, hurt is the bare truth
My life outliving yours
Reminder of time
Your life too short
Despair, the bare truth
Your life before mine
Strange way it must go
Your life too short
Holding and keeping
Forever to be
Holding and keeping
Stay with me
Strange way it is gone
Unable, to believe
Hurt, hurt is the bare truth
My life outliving yours
Reminder of time
Your life too short
Despair, the bare truth
Your life before mine
Strange way it must go
Your life too short
Holding and keeping
Forever to be
Holding and keeping
Brothers, sisters, let us learn
To leave this path of no return
How long can we play this game which knows no gain
Mothers, fathers is this what you leave?
Mothers, fathers is this what you leave?
Or are we also to deceive?
The stakes are getting higher in this game which knows no gain
Mothers, fathers is this what you leave?
A century of holy fires
Death commanded by a holy bible
In fire many souls were lost
The mysteries of evil
Truth or insane lies
The fear of the unholy sword
The fear to see evil arise
Witchcraft, a cause of death
Prove your innocense
Or cruelly you shall burn
A century of holy fires
Death commanded by a manic priest
In fire many lifes were lost
The mysteries of faith
Truth or insane lies
The fear of the holy word
All I hoped for, my dreams
Defy, my will, struggling to achieve
I will, I will,
Reach
Shattered by setback
Falling down, facing up
Await the moment
The thread spun out
I will, I will,
Seize
All I craved for, my dreams
Dare restrain me, wait and see
'cause I will, I will,
Despair and anguish torment my mind
Where is the one who was?
Part of my mind, part of my soul
The one I need to make me whole
Losing myself in endless grief
Emptiness ripping my soul
The shreds of sanity
Barely holding on
Wanting to be with you
Pleading for death, to come for me
Trapped in a body
Of needing, weak flesh
I'm merely human, thus powerless
For death brings life
But life brings death
Wanting to be with you
Of all these things that have happened to me
I see them as in vain
For the reason will bewilder me
Thou, the memory
Of all these things that are happening to me
I see them as strange
For, if love is the reason, then so is pain
So is pain
The reason of this earthly existence
is a mystery to me, to which I bow my head
For, if love is the reason, then so is pain
Once filled with sorrow, wondering,
Only now can I conceive
Descending down onto the earth,
The act is done
I am the leaf, falling from the tree
Colours have faded, wind chills me
Sadness, I am weeping
Now, the storm brings tears
The earth is crying,
For this is the season of dying
Takes me away,
Leaves me
The earth is crying,
For this is the season of,
Helplessly witnessing the infamous
Progression of humanity
- surviving -
Confronting the moral decay
Of these dark ages
As in future, as in past
Will this darkness come to last?
Helplessly hearing
The cries of the raped
- surviving -
Not blind, nor deaf,
Will reason finally catch up with death
As in future, as in past
Will this darkness come to last?
Desperately fighting
The breaches in humanity
- surviving -
As in future, as in past
Will this darkness come to last?
Fighting for everyone
Defensive for everyone
Defiance by everyone
Absent in mind, I declare peace and war
Torture in thought, do you care?
Reading my lips, reading my words
Just a bubble of air
Suffocating..., breathing in
Fear me not, love me not
I am here to read your peace, war and fear
Save this mankind
Save this soul
Face down the world all alone
Do deny, your truth, deny!
Fighting everyone
Defensive of everyone
Defying everyone
Absent in mind, I declare peace and war
Torture of thought, do you even care?
Reading my lips, hearing my words
Just a bubble of air
Suffocating..., breathing in
Fear me not, love me not
I am here to learn your peace, war and fear
Save this mankind
Save this soul
Face down the world all alone
Do deny, your truth, deny!
Killing everyone
Not defending anyone
Defiance by everyone
Absent in mind, I've declared peace and war
Torture of thought, do you care?
Reading my eyes, reading my soul
Just a bubble of air
Suffocating..., breathing out
Fear me now, love me now
I am here to judge your peace with war and fear
Save this mankind
Save this soul
Face down the world all alone
I don't want to think
Just want to be alone
My life, revolving,
Raging on
I don't want to see
The ones who care for me
My mind, somewhere,
I wish to be
I don't want to care
Afraid to lose my dream
My mind, in lust,
Just let me be!
I don't want to live
Just want to be gone
My life, fading,
Into infinity
Darkness
Searching for the light
The dream
It's just too bright
Now, burnt and blind
Even darkness, I have lost
Solitude, my friend
The decision is mine
Leave me now
Try to steer me with your jalousy
My move is to reject influence
Try to lure me with your vanity
You want to try use my honesty
Try to steer me with your jalousy
You want, I won't, I want, you do not
I want, you won't, you want, I do not
Try to create freedom for myself
Dare to speak, dare to fall
Try to steer me with your jalousy
My move is to reject influence
Try to lure me with your vanity
You want to try use my honesty
Try to steer me with your jalousy
You want, I won't, I want, you do not
I want, you won't, you want, I do not
Try to create freedom for myself
First one to ride was white
Had a bow and a crown
He went forth conquering
Forth he went to conquer
Come and see
Other horse that was red
Power given, take peace
They should kill each other
There was given great sword
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power, with beasts of earth
I beheld a black horse
One on him had the scales
Measure for a penny
Hurt not the oil and wine
Come and see
Fourth one to ride was pale
This was to be the last
Name of the one was Death
All Hell followed with him
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power, with beasts of earth
They are riding, riding today
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Fear and anger, leave me be
Behold a future, you and me
From dark past, to bright, bright light
Will we then be given insight
Hope will be my driving force
I will be the one to learn
From the thing that should not have been
That put me in the state I was in
Death and sorrow, let them be
Leave these ashes, leave them be
From these ruins, let me learn
As a phoenix, I'll return
Life and death, question I
Day by day, always why
How I am going to be
Shall I then be free and see
Hope will be my driving force
I will be the one to learn
Fate and faith, are then they
Life's true spirit, who is to say
Dare not speak the hopeless thought
Habit's what it's become
seems like I'm alone
no one to love me
a proud man is gone
The one in control
is no longer known
living in a haze
hell I've been shown
I dare not die though
I dare not live
I want to escape
I want to feel good
I need to forget
I need to want
I need to
I need
To think is to be
therefore I am not
living's not the word
applying to me
No longer I can
see what I should do
do with my life
do with myself
I dare not die though
I dare not live
I want to escape
I want to feel good
I need to forget
I need to want
I need to
I need
Now I've lost all hope
to get me of the hook
No prospect for me
Into hell I look
If I cannot find redemption
at least there will be oblivion
I dare not die though
I dare not live
I want to escape
I want to feel good
I need to forget
I need to want
I need to
That much is gone now
Opportunity is lost now
Fading...
With it leaving me
That is all we had then
Emptiness is left here
Destroying...
Hope inside of me
Anger is all that is left here
Comprehension no more
Creating...
Fear inside of me
Must not loose this thing
Call it a crazy dream
Searching...
For who I want to be
That much is coming now
Looking back to future plans
Changing...
My own destiny
Fighting for myself
Feeling like an empty shell
Living...
For the dreams come true
Will not, shall not, loose this dream
Hope is just a state of mind
Will not, shall not, loose this dream
Fear is just a state of mind
Will make, shall make, make this dream
Taking, taking the fruit
letting it all wither away
wither away, leaving mere hate
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Fighting, fighting the wars
the enemy slain, spoils for the victor
(yet) mothers in pain, mothers in pain
Dying, dying sea
Our fragile womb, mother of all
all living things, all living things
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Instinct of pride
Think, think we not all
in means of gain, until the womb
can no longer sustain, no longer sustain
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Leaving, leaving behind more than a memory
Leaving behind our days and time
Wish, want you here to stay, know you will have to go away
to where you long for, a far and distant shore
Must not forget, must not regret
Remember what we had, remember what we shared
The days of belief, the days of faith
Days of truth, days of freedom
In my heart there is sore
Will we meet, once more?
In my heart there is sore
Will we meet, once more?
Leaving, leaving behind more than a place to stay
Leaving behind our future plans
Wish, want you here to stay, know you will have to go away
to where you long for, a far and distant shore
All we had, all we lost
Will not forget, will not regret
Be all as one once said and gone
Together forever, this one is ours
Saying good-bye, leaving behind, always
Saying good-bye, leaving behind, always
Hope to meet again, meet again, and talk about the days
The grave,
Place of rest for the beloved one
hear the sound of threnodies,
For the one forever gone
Rectangular black hole,
Like jaws of death themselves
Soon they will be shut
I shall never surrender
How could I cease to recall?
I am the only one left to be this alone
As each day passes by
I celebrate one less to live on this way without you
Mirror breaks, but who's in there
And I can't look long
I won't find you there
Because
She calls to me in my...
Broken dreams are the way we shall live
And through darkened hallways, I pass all I've lived for
Paintings line the walls and
Take me back to the times when lucidity reigned
But how do I return?
Blind to everything here
I lose vision of all that remains all around
As I lose that as well
Innocence captured here in time
Echoes of the past
Pleading me to stop
And yet...
She calls to me in my...
Broken dreams are the way we shall live
And through darkened hallways, I pass all I've lived for
Alone in this world as I stand in the night falling
Deeper from where I thought that I had hit bottom
Plead on my knees so I may breath my last breathe which sets me free
Scream to the seas so that I may drown deep within their depths and cease to be
With your untimely end, I am reborn
In this world of hate for those who have what they love
How long must I remain with this corrupted soul
Crying tears of blood
Until empty, I fall
Long hallways keep them from my mind
Hidden
No one sees through the barriers
Only
She calls to me in my…
Broken dreams are the way we shall live
And through darkened hallways, I pass all I've lived for
Alone in this world as I stand in the night falling
Deeper from where I thought that I had hit bottom
Return to me, my strength
My soul still perseveres onward
You reach for my hand
And then pull me away from this
The sun feels as I remembered that day
As the light healed this withering canvas
Yearning to be free
But not to be lost
I came here reluctantly
But knew I belonged
rise up
stand tall
confidant
you bend the starlight
with time...
things change
colors fade
refract the daylight
i miss the colors
i miss the way it feels
mystical love
washes over you
Gather 'round, you wounded people
Shadows fall upon the steeple,
Soon shall come the closing of,
The closing of the gates
For there is word of plague among us
Curse the one whose poison stung us,
All along the alleyways
The satyrs wait their fate
But who's to blame when all are guilty
Morals stained and conscience filthy
Abreast your idol replicas
Your replicas of lust,
In the sky I hear the threshing
Dare to watch your lord undressing
While you beg forgiveness,
You feed on his disgust
But if perhaps the salt might stain your skin
And if perhaps the smoke might weep your eyes
Listen while the threnodies begin
Know no one in here gets out alive.
But let your frailty not deceive you
A little pinprick, rest relieves you,
And dream of all the days that are,
The years that are to come
For you will dance and you'll be nimble
Pirouettes upon a thimble
And I will be beside you
Lest I lose you once again.
But if perhaps my sorrows all are show
And I should find a crack among the gates,
Guilt shall follow me where'er I go
Though I try I know I can't escape
And when you're gone the earth will crumble
I will try but I will stumble
And all through these city streets
My robes shall drag the ground
Hear the children swing with sorrow,
Yesterday was once tomorrow
No more I'll be troubled by the troubles of this world
But if I lose my step along the way
And if the speech of victim fills my throat
Out beyond the cliffs that shape the day
It's there I'll wander, there I'll stray
It's there I'll look for you when all my trials are done
I feign sleep to save my breath,
This love is loss, this life is theft,
And all that's left is some vain need to carry on
And though I fear the tightening of the skies
Against the dawn I'll watch you rise
Oh Lord, the company I keep within my head
The scent of flesh might tease the nose
It claims the calm, it clings the clothes
Could that be you, my love?
Alcoholic indulgence
Caffeine solution
Nicotine addiction
Calorific high
Sedative relaxant
Hangover relief
Dignity in silence
Lead a sober life
get in touch with God
or cover me in vice
Tell me what you see
Could this be the place
you've been looking for?
Where all your dreams come true
Tell me what you see: does it torment you?
Heaven here on earth
Take another breath
Falling, falling, falling...
And did you get what you want
Did the earth move under your feet
And have you found what you need
I don't know: what is it that you need
Threnody
Could I have given more
Shown you star you could never see before
Did I let you down?
There were mountains
Like jagged black fangs
Against an icy dark sky
Where darkness always reigns
Nostalgia in icy winds
In the forest, signs call
There were lakes of eternal fire
That broke apart
In a million little diamonds
Your plan devised a battery of words
Where fueled by self the cavity is formed
An injected study played out all calloused
Left lifeless in the process
Its mark is deep
Its mark is deep
Severed ends side a filled syringe
To belt before as a raising vein
Built illusion pushing pins
A pall set waiting
Its mark is deep
As I raised my blade to face my final foe
I was shown the true daunt of my weakness
Her sirenic gaze transformed a fiend to a lover
a contagion to a cure
for all my world's pain I couldn't endure
At first taste of her I set my bridge ablaze
I watched it fade to a small glow
Why did you choose me and let me live?
Bound in your chains
my flesh is easily cut
You've extinguished my flame
Your black hand shrouds my soul from what it once was
united with trees, the mountains and rivers
I burn the homes of my kin
because you've pit me against them
I grant a vacant stare
to this bare exposition
I can't remember the last time I've slept without you
You've forced me this way
Your poison courses my veins more than my own blood
as you make yourself all I can reach
My strength has surrendered to your being
I am here but not fighting
I can see that I'm dying
I still remember how your eyes would light mine, and how
you could make my heart feel alive.
I am afraid that you’ll flee from the fire and disappear
in a faded book of dreams...
So do I stand alone? Do I stand alone?
When you awake I’l be a memory. Is this my threnody?
I dream of every way I can hold you in my arms.
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my
threnody?
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my
threnody?
I still remember how your eyes could light mine and how I
could feel the truth through your skin.
I’m so afraid that it’s killing me. Is everything I said
taken to heart? So what is real?
Don’t speak, you’ll only make me die inside. I can’t
leave this alone.
Don’t speak, you’ll only have to lie through your smile.
I want you to myself.
Please know I meant every last word I said and tonight I
will dream of going home.
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my
threnody?
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my
Looking back at what I have done
Breathing heavy I think I am gone
I cannot breathe, I cannot see any more
Why am I still standing here?
The life in me is on the run
I cannon breathe, I cannot see any more
Everyone I've missed
Walking dead around
Everyone I've missed
Walking dead around
the pain has left in me
This is a song for the dead
Tears are falling for the young
All around I see them run
I cannot breathe, I cannot see anymore
Anger, pain and misery
That is all I have in me
I feel the need; this is it
A threnody
Everyone I've missed
Walking dead around
Everyone I've missed
Walking dead around
the pain has left in me
This is it - a threnody
Everyone I've missed
Walking dead around
The pain has left in me
This is a song for the dead
She was broken
Not defeated
Rotten sickness
Took her life
Everyone I've missed
Walking dead around
The pain has left in me
This is it - a threnody
Everyone I've missed
Walking dead around
The pain has left in me
